Doomsday Code

Chapter 586 Apprenticeship

Walking on the street leading to the guild, Finier was so excited that she didn't know where to put her excitement.

"Little slave, what do you think of what I'm wearing? Is it a little too vulgar?"

Finier said, gesturing at the skirt she was wearing.

"No, it's not tacky at all. This dress makes you look even cuter."

Chen Cheng looked at the Gothic-style dress on Finier and exclaimed in admiration.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her dressing, Finier began to worry about the gift for her apprenticeship.

"Do you think my master really doesn't need expensive apprenticeship gifts? I feel like it's not very polite to just bring these things."

Finier looked at the ordinary fruit in her hand and felt that it lacked sincerity.

Chen Cheng thought that this was Aunt Mei, who had seen all kinds of good things. Giving expensive things to Aunt Mei without asking whether she needed them or not would seem deliberate and make her feel unfamiliar.

So it would be best to just bring a bag of fruit and do the same as other younger generations visiting their elders.

"Don't worry, you still don't believe me. Your master has seen all kinds of good things. It would be strange for us to bring valuable things to him.

I'm bringing this fruit to your master. It's good to eat, not just for show."

Seeing that Finier was about to speak, Chen Cheng spoke first:

"Don't worry, young lady. Just do what you normally do. There's no need to think so much."

The two of them talked all the way to the door of the guild.

By this time, Finier had no idea what kind of master Chen Cheng was going to find for her.

But when she thought of the person she had guessed, Finier's heart began to beat wildly.

Although Finier didn't know that Aunt Mei was the daughter of the guild president, the strength that Aunt Mei had shown during the beast tide was real.

She felt that she must have guessed wrong. How could an epic-level strong man be willing to accept her as his disciple?

So at this moment, Finier stood at the gate of the guild.

Chen Cheng, who was about to push the door open, found that Finier did not move. He turned around and looked, and then saw Finier's pale little face.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng hurried forward and asked:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Finier stared at Chen Cheng blankly, and then said:

"The master you found for me is probably not what I expected. How could that master possibly accept me as his disciple?"

When Chen Cheng heard this, he knew that Finier had guessed it.

If Chen Cheng had not come into contact with several epic masters, he might have thought, like everyone else, that such masters were aloof and out of touch with the world.

There is a natural fear of them in my heart.

Chen Cheng, who had come into contact with them, knew very well that they were not gods, but ordinary people with a higher realm and strength.

They also have their own joys, sorrows, anger, and worries.

And Finier's case is a typical case of psychological inferiority caused by the gap in strength.

"Oh, don't be so nervous and self-deprecating.

But don’t forget that you are a gift from God, a unique monster among millions.

If you spread the word about a genius like you, who knows how many powerful people would be eager to take you as their disciple."

Chen Cheng didn't want to leave a shadow in Finier's heart because of this psychological gap and fear, otherwise he would regret it to death.

"And Aunt Mei is a very nice person, you can just treat her as a close older sister."

Finier thought of the inheritance she had obtained, plucked up her courage, and then followed Chen Cheng into the Adventurer's Guild.

However, as soon as he entered, he found that the once bustling guild had become extremely deserted. Even Lisa and others who had received him before were nowhere to be seen.

The doorbell rang, and Aunt Mei, wearing a cheongsam, came out from the backyard.

"Why are there still people coming to the guild? Didn't everyone go to Nanmu Forest?"

Aunt Mei talked as she walked.

After lifting the door curtain, I saw Chen Cheng and Finier beside him.

When she saw Chen Cheng, Aunt Mei's face was full of surprise, and then she said coquettishly:

"How dare you come here, you damned brat? You even made Hills come all the way here to bother me."

Chen Cheng chuckled and said:

"I didn't mess with Hills. He was the one who looked down on me first, and he didn't take you, Aunt Mei, seriously at the beginning either.

Otherwise, he would have handled the formalities for me directly after reading your letter, and there wouldn't have been so many complications later."

"You're such a sharp-tongued brat! Aunt Mei can't argue with you."

"When did you come back? How come you have time to come see me, Aunt Mei?"

Aunt Mei's voice sounded as resentful as it could be.

Chen Cheng coughed and said:

"I just came back yesterday. I came to see you, Aunt Mei, today. And to make it up to you, Aunt Mei, I found you a peerless demon to be your disciple."

Chen Cheng said this and pointed at Finier beside him.

At this time, Finier also lifted her skirt and performed the standard etiquette of a noble lady towards Aunt Mei.

"Hello Aunt May, my name is Cockbur Finnier."

When Aunt Mei saw Finniel, a motherly smile appeared on her face.

She nodded and said:

"Okay, okay, what a lovely girl."

As she spoke, Aunt Mei came forward and took Finier's little hand.

"Come on, why are you bringing any fruit? It must be so heavy, you little brat, don't you even help carry it?"

As she said that, Aunt Mei handed the bag in Finier's hand to Chen Cheng, and then she took Finier to the backyard.

Chen Cheng followed with some fruit in his hand.

After entering the backyard, Aunt Mei took out a jade talisman and put it around Finier's neck.

"I don't have any gifts to give Aunt Mei when you become her disciple. This is a thunder talisman. It can unleash three of my full-strength attacks. When you encounter danger in the future, you can activate it. I will sense it and rush to your side as quickly as possible."

At first, Finier thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant, but she didn't expect it to be such a precious talisman.

Just as Finier was about to take it off, Aunt Mei stopped her and said:

"Aunt Mei is your master now. How can I take back what a master has given to her apprentice?"

However, Chen Cheng came in at this time, put down the fruit and said:

"Isn't Aunt Mei's apprenticeship a bit too casual?"

Aunt Mei rolled her eyes at him and said:

"I don't know what you're thinking, kid. Now that Finier is my disciple, I have to do what a master should do.

Although I don't practice wind magic, if you have any problems, you can tell me. It doesn't matter if I don't understand. I can ask others for help."

When Chen Cheng heard this, he felt a little sour in his teeth for some reason.

As for the person Aunt Mei said she was asking for advice, Chen Cheng believed that it would definitely not be an ordinary epic wind-type mage. At the very least, he should be an epic-level perfection or a demigod-level figure like the guild's supreme elder.

With such educational resources, even if Finier is not a gifted one, her future achievements will at least be at the epic level.
