Seeing Chen Fei's face twitch slightly, the black kid Randy flashed a triumphant look and even flashed a hip-hop hand gesture that roughly ant, "Wait till after school, don't you run away!"
Damn it, I'll beat you to 90% dead later!
He summoned the Dog System and checked the various interfaces.

Chen Fei was startled, were there that many pages of skills before?
How co there's only one page left, and only ten skills to choose from?
Dog System, co out, did you devour them?
We agreed on an upgrade, but now it looks more like a downgrade.

The two teachers, along with twelve students, had just finished visiting each exhibit in the gallery, and it was precisely lunchti.
The students, in groups of two or three, headed to the airport cafeteria. The food here wasn't bad; the ingredients ca from nearby farms and ranches, making the cost very low. With three buffet als a day including dairy, fish, at, fruits, and vegetables, quality and quantity were guaranteed, allowing one to eat to their heart's content.
The incident this morning where Chen Fei and Randy almost ca to blows over a few words still caught their classmates' attention.
"Hey, Randy, Chen Fei is a classmate, you shouldn't fight him."
"Don't worry, this is a man's contest, I'll be gentle with him. Chen Fei insulted my idol, and I need to teach him a lesson," Randy replied.
"Randy, your tone of voice makes sick, ugh, are you even serious?"
"Buddy, I'm straight, don't get wrong. I'll have a fair and square friendly match with Chen Fei. Look at this face of mine, I'm a good boy!"
"Fighting is not right, we should love peace!"
"I love peace too, Lim, but I must remind you, peace is fought for, not spoken into existence."
"Let's not rush into fighting, how about I get Chen Fei to apologize to you?"
"Alright, Joel, for your sake, I'll give him a chance."
"I'll talk to him later, huh? Where's Chen Fei? Hasn't he co out yet? Never mind, I'll wait for him in the cafeteria. Randy, no rash moves."
...
Although only a few were indifferent, no one deliberately instigated further conflict, and most tried to diate.
Walking with a cane, David Sid saw that Chen Fei hadn't joined the others for lunch in the cafeteria but instead stood motionless next to an F-22 jet in the exhibition hall and approached. Looking at the aircraft he had once lovingly polished, he said,
"Young man, this is 'Raptor', my ride back in the day. When I retired, I bought it outright. Did you know that if it's well-maintained, this old guy can still fly!"
This "old guy" ambiguously referred not only to the jet but also to himself.
Regrettably, the F-22 had long been out of production, and parts had been unavailable for ages. Even with skilled chanics, you can't cook without rice. Due to the lack of necessary parts and consumables, maintaining this adequately preserved jet was no longer feasible.
"It's a cool fighter jet."
Chen Fei stared at the obsolete jet in front of him, his mind racing with ideas.
Hearing Old David say this, he knew the task ahead might be very challenging.
The old man made a fine steak, had great wine, was a good person, and the jet was his pride and joy. Chen Fei felt reluctant to act.
Old David proudly declared, "This is the beauty of industry, a strong fighter is always stylish."
After thinking for a long ti and lacking a good idea, Chen Fei finally resolved himself and spoke outright, "Old David!"
"Hmm?"
The old man responded in confusion.
Chen Fei hesitated for a mont, but persisted, "How can I acquire this 'Raptor'?"
Since he couldn't find a solution imdiately, he might as well consult the person who posed the challenge; perhaps he could offer so hints.
"Huh?"
Old David stiffened, gradually losing his smile as he said, "This is not for sale!"
The atmosphere at the scene beca sowhat tense.
Chen Fei spoke more firmly, "Sorry, I can't afford it, but I still want to obtain it."
This was about 1000 energy points; there was no way he was going to let the Dog System win. Read exclusive chapters at empire
"Do you really want it that badly?"
Old David was utterly baffled by Chen Fei's notion, as it did not seem like a joke to him.
Even if it were "a joke," it was not funny at all.
"I'm serious!"
Chen Fei nodded with utmost certainty.
If it were not for the energy points, he wouldn't have given it another glance.
Old David suddenly laughed, pointing at the F-22 Raptor, and said, "If you can make it fly, I will give it to you!"
So many years had passed; he really wanted to see, once more, the graceful prowess of the Raptor soaring across the sky.
Just like Old David, this fighter aircraft was deeply wounded and too old to fly.
Chen Fei tentatively asked again, "Just make it fly?"
He had traveled far to reach this remote private airstrip for chanic and flight training, specifically to repair and pilot aircraft.
Old David clenched his cane tightly, his knuckles turning white, and pointing at the F-22 Raptor in front of them, he said word by word, "As long as you can make it fly, it's yours!"
Owning tens of kiloters of land and a private airstrip with a collection of many famous fighters, money was not an issue for him. His only pursuits were the dreams of his youth and his current sentints.
"No problem! I'm a Level B supernatural power user with a Special Ability called 'Sacrifice'!"
The tal Elental Psychic Power obviously didn't sound as grand as "Sacrifice." Determined, Chen Fei decided to use the na "Sacrifice" to publicly absorb tal products, ranging from small weapons to large aircraft and ships.
Blue Star was abundant in all sorts of tal products; one could say that the entire civilization was built on tal materials.
"Level B supernatural power user, 'Sacrifice'?"
Old David was startled, looking at Chen Fei incredulously as if he was eting the young man for the first ti.
A Level B supernatural power user coming for chanic and flight training—it seed sowhat incomprehensible.
He grew even more dubious.
"With the 'Sacrifice' ability, I can fix it!"
Chen Fei felt he was getting closer to success.
The Dog System probably hadn't expected that he hadn't used any tricks; he had succeeded in persuading Old David just by being straightforward.
"Then let , Old David, see your 'Sacrifice'!"
The old man stepped aside, leaning on his cane.
Begin your performance.
Chen Fei imdiately stepped forward without ceremony, placing his hand under the nose of the F-22 Raptor jet fighter.
"Sacrifice (Absorption)!"

Bring out the "F-22 Raptor," manually complete it.
Seeing his beloved collection, the F-22 Raptor, crumble unexpectedly, Old David was utterly shocked.
He finally confird that Chen Fei was truly a supernatural power user, though his ability was sowhat peculiar. He wondered whether Chen Fei could restore his fighter jet.
After seeing Chen Fei make his fighter jet disappear, and standing there with his eyes closed, Old David could not contain himself, and asked, "How is it now?"
Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, exhaling deeply, and said, "It's done!"
Using the "Material Evolution Simulation" skill to replace those unabsorbable functional modules had truly drained a significant portion of his energy.
Chen Fei extended his hand towards the open space outside the display area.
"Co out, 'Raptor'!"
