The pet master

The old man leads Max toward the scroll-storing area.

....

Soon, they reached the storage area.

The old man handed Max a scroll.

[Psychic link.] :

green grade skill.

Build a strong telepathy link between pets.

Note: in order to use this skill, all intended pets must learn it.

.....

"although this skill isn't too useful, it's still a green grade skill.

35k each, and we only have 27 in stock. You can come back later, in a few days after we restock".

"35k is good, I will come back for the rest in a week".

"945,000 credits."

Max directly left after acquiring the goods.

The old man kept looking at Max's back; he had high hopes for Max, and seeing him today being just a normal human, he was quite disappointed. However, this little guy always seemed to be walking with a strong purpose.

The last time he met him, he even sent his granddaughter to recruit him, but he got the news he was already recruited.

But the old man's eyes are quite sharp. After seeing Max, he

Could instantly judge that his granddaughter was deceived.

"he can actually trick that granddaughter of mine, hmm if I tell her, then how would she react? He did say he'd be back in a week, maybe let them meet again".

Back at the shabby restaurants.

Lucy no longer had her cheery personality.

She sat quietly at the edge of a table, dangling her feet with a calm yet lonely expression.

There was a quiet, scared featherless pigeon under the table. At first the pigeon wanted to escape looking at Lucy's distracted expression, but it was frightened with just one look.

Escape?, please don't joke, the cheery Lucy tortured its self to autism. If this scary version noticed itself, then death might be a better option.

The gangsters didn't approach her; from Boss Hu, they knew that this little thing was an F-rank.

Although some brave ones tried, after all, even though they had bricks for brains, they were able to tell that the future of the little gangster was limitless.

They had the idea of taking care of his pet for him to curry favor with him.

But this small fairy just had a blank look on her face, ignoring them completely.

.....

Lucy felt something; looking at the entrance, she burst into tears as Max walked inside.

mimimimi.

Lucy rushed into Max's arms.

"hey, hey, don't cry. I am here".

Soon Lucy stopped crying.

Max sighed.

Taking the big bag of weapons, he left, holding Lucy in his arms

"Uncle Hu, I will be on my way".

...

Max left in a hurry, not giving a shit about Boss Hu's response.

After he left the slums, he put the bag inside the space ring.

...

Sometime later, Max reached the train station.

Max has already bought a train ticket; right now, it's barely noon, and the train arrives only at midnight.

Max considered the safest way of traveling.

Of course, the best is teleportation; however, arriving too early at the border isn't safe as well.

More importantly, teleportation is too expensive and Max still has a use for the money in his hand.

As for flight, it is out of the question, flying in this dangerous world is a privilege of the strong.

The train will travel for 200000 km before reaching Max's destination; this train is fast, almost 700 km/h, so it will take about 2 weeks.

At that time, Max will be safe to level up Lucy.

Sometime Later, Max sat in a small coffee shop at the train station.

Max no longer gave a shit about this city and its people.

. While sipping his coffee, Max was content playing a simple game with Lucy on the laptop.

The game relied heavily on luck, with no complicated rules that would confuse Lucy.

At the same time, she can win a few times.

.... Midnight...

Max is currently quite sleepy, but he just waits in front of the train truck.

Deg. deg. degg.

Max Could clearly feel the ground rumbling.

Looking to the right, his mouth was wide open. Lucy, who was sleeping just now, woke up,

Looking at the Giant Metal Beast Lucy was frightened and rushed into Max's T-shirt.

"This is a train? That's a freaking moving fortress."

Still, in this world, both technology and magic coexist, so Max wasn't that surprised.

As the train stopped in front of him and the door opened, a mechanical announcement sounded:

Ding. Dong. Ding. dong.

We arrived at glory City station

Please, all passengers Disembarking at glory city station, please be aware that the train will resume service in one hour.

Walking inside, Max directly headed to his cabin number, he have money, so he bought the best ticket, having a luxury room all to himself.

.....

As the train starts its movement, Max was smiling while pointing a middle finger at the City.
