Chapter 8 The Driver Who Caused the Car Accident
Upon leaving the Warrior’s Building, Qin Feng checked the ti—it was a little after five in the afternoon, and the sun was beginning to set.
At this hour, the base city enforced restrictions on people leaving, and the city gates were closed.
Even if he wanted to go outside to hunt fierce beasts, he’d have to wait until tomorrow. Any training plans would have to be put on hold.
An hour later, Qin Feng returned to the familiar small house.
Chuchu was washing vegetables, preparing to make dinner.
“Brother, you’re back!”
“Little girl, don’t cook tonight. We’ll go out to a restaurant in a bit and eat sothing good. I’ll take a shower first!” Qin Feng said as he looked for a change of clothes.
“Eating out is expensive. Brother, didn’t we agree to save money together so we could get promoted to civilian status? Wasting money like this isn’t good.”
“Also, Uncle Da Zhuang from Building 9 was promoted to civilian today. I’m so envious.”
Chuchu truly was envious.
Becoming a civilian ant no longer having to pay the governnt a residency fee.
As for refugees, they had to pay 1,000 Tong coins in residency fees every month. If they were behind by two months, they would be expelled from the base and left to fend for themselves. (Those under the age of 13 were exempt.)
Qin Feng smiled and said, “Little girl, what’s so great about being a civilian? Soon, I’ll make you a ‘privileged citizen.'”
“Brother, you’re teasing again. Many genetic warriors can’t even beco privileged citizens, let alone us…” Chuchu thought Qin Feng was joking.
Qin Feng patted her head. “I’m not teasing you. From now on, you don’t have to go to work anymore. I’ll take care of the family.”
Chuchu had been working in a factory as a child laborer since she was thirteen, earning only 70 Tong coins a day despite the hard work.
“Brother, did you strike it rich?” Chuchu realized that Qin Feng wasn’t joking.
“I’ll tell you after I shower!”
“Tell now!”
“Be patient for a bit! And stop washing the vegetables. We’re going out to eat in a bit.”
Qin Feng smiled as he went to take a shower.
Chuchu, half-believing, put away the washed vegetables and turned on the TV, watching the news while waiting for Qin Feng.
Half an hour later, Qin Feng ca out of the bathroom, refreshed and dressed in clean clothes.
Chuchu’s eyes lit up—her brother seed to have gotten even more handso.
At that mont, a news report aired on the television.
“This is the Base City Station, now broadcasting a piece of good news.”
“Yesterday, Lin Tianyang, recognized as the top talent of the younger generation in Yunyang City, successfully advanced to a one-star Ice Elental Master, becoming the youngest elental master in our city.”
The TV showed a picture of Lin Tianyang, his appearance sowhat refined.
“Lin Tianyang, twenty-four years old, possesses an exceptionally high talent for ice abilities and is a role model for the younger generation in our base city.”
“In recognition of his efforts, the City Lord personally awarded him the title of Baron today, hoping that he will continue to work hard.”
“Lin Tianyang? That na sounds familiar…” Qin Feng frowned; it felt like he’d heard it sowhere before.
“Brother, this Lin Tianyang is amazing! He’s only 24 and already an elental master!”
“Becoming an elental master at 24 is amazing?” Qin Feng was a bit puzzled.
“Of course! Many elental masters don’t advance until they’re in their forties or fifties. Uncle Chen Ming is already 47, and he’s still stuck at the quasi-elental master level!”
“This Lin Tianyang becoming an elental master at 24 is naturally impressive. He’s considered outstanding even within the entire Southern Alliance.” Chuchu explained.
“Captain Chen Ming is 47? I thought he was only in his thirties!” Qin Feng was surprised.
“Brother, genetic warriors and elental masters live longer than ordinary people, so they always look younger. I heard that as long as you beco a one-star elental master, you can live up to 300 years!” Chuchu said with envy.
“Oh, by the way, brother, did you really strike it rich?” The little girl rembered the important matter.
Qin Feng smiled and said, “I’m now a ‘privileged citizen.'”
“Brother, stop joking…”
“Little girl, look at this.”
Qin Feng smiled and took out his privileged citizen ID card.
“This is…” Chuchu took the card, her eyes widening in disbelief.
“A privileged citizen card!” The little girl looked up excitedly. “Brother, how did you do it?”
“You don’t need to ask about that. Just know that your brother is really amazing now.”
“Brother!”
The little girl hugged Qin Feng excitedly, her eyes reddening with emotion.
Her brother had beco a privileged citizen, and she was overjoyed.
“Why are you crying, little girl?”
“I’m not!”
“Your eyes are all red.”
“I’m just happy!”
Chuchu rubbed her eyes, her face full of smiles.
Seeing her so happy, Qin Feng felt content as well.
“Little girl, do you believe now?”
“Mm!” Chuchu nodded obediently. She not only believed him but was also starting to admire him.
“Tomorrow, go resign from your job. I’ll take care of the family from now on.”
“Hehe, brother, then I’ll stay at ho every day and cook delicious food for you. Does that make seem like your wife?”
The little girl’s face turned a little red.
Qin Feng laughed, “You’re such a chatterbox! Let’s go, I’ll take you to have a big al.”
The brother and sister happily went downstairs.
Qin Feng chose a restaurant with a decent setting.
They both enjoyed the al, and Chuchu was in an especially good mood.
After returning ho, they went to bed early.
Chuchu had drunk quite a bit of red wine and fell asleep quickly.
But Qin Feng couldn’t sleep.
The na “Lin Tianyang” kept echoing in his mind—it felt strangely familiar.
“Lin Tianyang? I rember now…”
Qin Feng suddenly sat up in bed.
Lin Tianyang was Lin Xuyang’s older brother.
The mont he thought of Lin Xuyang, Qin Feng’s eyes filled with anger.
In their original world on Earth, Chuchu had died in a car accident.
And the driver responsible was Lin Xuyang…
