Full-Time Magister: Summoning Agumon at the Start

Chapter 288 Gobi Valley

When Lin Chen flew to Chile, the Chinese National Team had already completed its challenge against the Chilean National Team. Lin Chen then stayed in Chile with Ai Jiangtu and others to undergo some training at a level suitable for the National Team.

Due to the difference in strength, most of the trials arranged by Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue posed no challenge to Lin Chen. Every day, Lin Chen spent his time meditating and maintaining control, as well as connecting with Jiang Shaoxu.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half has passed.

That day, Lin Chen and Jiang Shaoxu had just returned from shopping in the city when they saw Zhao Manyan running towards them excitedly.

"Zhao Manyan, what's making you so happy? Did you get promoted? Wait, my advisor didn't mention that when he came a couple of days ago." Jiang Shaoxu looked at Zhao Manyan with suspicion and teased him on purpose.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan's joy turned to gloom, but the gloomy expression soon disappeared from his face.

"Mo Fan is coming back! Mo Fan will become a full member and return to the National Team," Zhao Manyan said.

"Mo Fan is coming back?" Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's memory of the matter became clear. According to the original plot, Mo Fan did indeed return around this time.

"Mmm." Zhao Manyan nodded.

"It seems Mo Fan has been doing well at the National Pavilion lately, returning so quickly," Jiang Shaoxu said.

Since Mo Fan was about to return to the team, the members of the National Team, who originally planned to undergo the next stage of training, continued to stay in Hammi City, Peru, to wait for Mo Fan's arrival.

When Mo Fan found Lin Chen and the others, they were enjoying a leisurely drink on the first floor of the small hotel where they were staying.

"Hello everyone, I'm back!" Mo Fan laughed heartily, strode forward, opened his arms, and pointed directly at Jiang Shaoxu.

"It's been almost three months, your return is taking way too long." Lin Chen casually walked past Jiang Shaoxu and hugged Mo Fan.

Seeing this, Zhao Manyan winked at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan immediately realized what was happening, smiled slightly, and said, "My efficiency is indeed slow, but yours is quite fast. What stage have you reached?"

"You scoundrel!" Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes at Mo Fan.

"There's just one last step," Zhao Manyan said.

During this time, without Mo Fan around, he had suffered a lot of bullying from Jiang Shaoxu, and he had no intention of covering for Lin Chen now.

"There's only one last step left, and your efficiency isn't that great either, yet you're criticizing me," Mo Fan teased.

"Are you two trying to get yourself killed?!" Jiang Shaoxu was speechless. Although she usually looked somewhat glamorous, she was still a bit conservative at heart. So she turned to Lin Chen and said, "Lin Chen, aren't you going to do anything about this?"

"Are they flirting?" Mo Fan said.

"Isn't it a bit too much for you to tease a girl like that?" A voice came from the side at that moment.

Lin Chen turned his head and saw that it was Lu Yilin who was speaking. Lin Chen remembered that in the original story, Lu Yilin wanted to vent his frustration on Mo Fan because he had failed to confess his feelings to Jiang Shaoxu. However, now everyone in the team knew about his relationship with Jiang Shaoxu, so what was this Lu Yilin up to?

"The other couples haven't said anything, what are you acting like, acting all high and mighty?! What, you want to steal my brother's girlfriend? Look at yourself, do you even deserve her?!" Mo Fan was very annoyed and retorted directly.

As soon as Mo Fan finished speaking, Lu Yilin, who had just drunk too much, sobered up considerably and realized that he had been meddling in other people's business.

However, Mo Fan's words also displeased Lu Yilin, who said angrily, "You're a newcomer, just joined the team, don't you know how to respect your seniors?"

"Senior? Haha, Mo Fan, you've become a junior." Jiang Yu walked over and laughed heartily.

"This kid's had too much to drink, just leave him alone." Nan Jue knew Mo Fan's temper, so he came over and gave him a special instruction.

Mo Fan nodded. He had just returned to the team and didn't want this rich kid to spoil his good mood, so he ignored Lu Yilin and sat down between Lin Chen and Zhao Manyan, bragging to everyone.

However, Mo Fan didn't want to cause trouble, which made Lu Yilin feel that Mo Fan was afraid. So Lu Yilin walked directly towards Mo Fan, wanting to teach him a lesson with words.

But Mo Fan was no ordinary person; he was someone who wasn't afraid of trouble. Seeing that Lu Yilin was still babbling on the side, he directly released a spatial magic spell, throwing Lu Yilin out of the hotel to bring him to his senses.

Lu Yilin originally wanted to continue attacking Mo Fan, but Lin Chen, who was sitting to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and directly stopped him.

Knowing how formidable Lin Chen was, Lu Yilin glared at Mo Fan with a sinister look before slinking back to his room.

After Lu Yilin left, Ai Jiangtu gathered the Nationalist team members together again and said, "Now that Mo Fan is here, let's discuss when we should head to the Gobi Valley ahead."

"What's that Gobi Valley? Why haven't you guys told me about it?" Lin Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's because Mo Fan is coming. We waited for him, otherwise we would have had you take us there already," Jiang Yu said. "About 100 kilometers outside of Hanmi City, there is a Peruvian ruin. There are often strong winds and strange phenomena there. There should be something good there."

"There's something good!" Mo Fan's eyes gleamed. "You guys are really good brothers, always thinking of me when you have something good!"

"What are you thinking? That place is inhabited by stone elementals, with thick skin and tough flesh. We simply can't get through there. Last time, only a few of us went, and Lin Chen didn't go. I originally planned to take Lin Chen with me when we came back, but since you were coming back anyway, we just waited for you." Zhao Manyan explained from the side.

"Who cares? Anyway, I'm lucky to be hitching a ride with Lin Chen," Mo Fan said.

Who wouldn't like a job where you can find treasures and make money without having to worry about it or put in any effort?

After discussing for a while, everyone reached a consensus, and they immediately left Hanmi City and headed towards the Gobi Valley.

Upon arriving at the Gobi Valley, Nan Jue did not immediately have Lin Chen summon his Digimon. After all, the Gobi Valley was quite long, and they had not ventured too deep before. There might be ruler-level elemental life forms deep within the Gobi Valley. It was better to keep Lin Chen's Digimon as a last resort.

Nan Jue had made another preparation a few days earlier. She created three elemental instruments that could alter the earth's fluctuations. Moving between two elemental instruments would not disturb the stone elemental life forms living in the Gobi Valley.

With the cooperation of Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue, the two of them inserted and adjusted the elemental instruments. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the stone elemental life on both sides of the Gobi Valley moved twice and then returned to the stone wall.

This result thrilled everyone, and they began to venture into the Gobi Valley one by one.
