Chapter 65: Meeting on a Narrow Road
“Deputy Zhou, bring that Chuchu here!” Wang Jianlai casually instructed.
“This…” The adjutant hesitated. “Deputy Commander, Chuchu has been reassigned by the Regiment Commander. She’s now the Regiment Commander’s personal subordinate, with her position yet to be determined.”
“Ah…” Wang Jianlai was a bit surprised. “Miss Lin, what do you think about this matter…”
As Liu Yan’s personal subordinate, he neither had the authority nor dared to give orders to her.
“Is that so…” Lin Xue was also a bit surprised. “Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, how about we go and meet Regiment Commander Liu?” Lin Xue said with a smile.
From her perspective, given her status and background, Liu Yan would surely agree to let her meet a mere refugee.
After all, she had the Lin family behind her.
To her, Liu Yan was merely an ordinary regiment commander in a military district.
She assumed Liu Yan would go out of her way to curry favor with her, just like Wang Jianlai was doing now.
Unaware of Liu Yan’s true background, Lin Xue had taken things for granted.
“All right!” Wang Jianlai readily agreed. “Miss Lin, please follow me!”
“Thank you!”
…
Meanwhile, at Liu Yan’s residence.
In the courtyard’s training ground, Chuchu was practicing.
She wore a black-and-white battle mecha, wielding twin titanium-copper alloy swords, moving at an astonishing speed.
Her movements left nothing but afterimages in the air.
With the assistance of the top-tier mecha, each strike she delivered exceeded 500 combat points, equivalent to the combat strength of a beginner one-star Elementalist.
Combined with her exceptional combat skills, she could even challenge mid-tier one-star Elementalists.
After a while, Chuchu finished her training, glancing at her mecha with satisfaction.
After a day of adjustments, she had fully mastered the mecha and seamlessly integrated it with her fighting techniques. This left her feeling quite accomplished.
“If my brother knew about my current strength, he’d be so surprised!” The young girl thought cheerfully.
Just then, footsteps sounded behind her.
She quickly turned around to see Qin Feng smiling at her.
“Brother!” Chuchu exclaimed joyfully, running up to him.
“Little one, you’ve made great progress in just one day!” Qin Feng said affectionately, patting her head.
The girl was quite clingy, immediately snuggling into his embrace.
“Hehe! Brother, doesn’t my mecha look amazing?” Chuchu asked coquettishly, looking up at him.
“Not bad!” Qin Feng said, observing it with interest. “How does it perform?”
Mecha were a supplementary tool for gene warriors. Many level-four gene warriors could double their combat strength by using mecha, earning them the title of “Mecha Warriors.”
“Brother, this is the top-tier TF-B-X121 lightweight mecha. Its size adjusts automatically, weighing only 60 pounds, powered by a UF-37 micro-core engine. It’s worth 1.3 billion! So expensive!”
As she explained, Chuchu pressed a button on her chest.
Click!
With a light sound, the mecha detached itself from her body.
“However, it boosts my combat strength by 100 points. With this, I’m confident I can defeat mid-tier one-star Elementalists!”
Her face was full of joy as she spoke.
“Impressive!” Qin Feng nodded in approval. The stronger his sister became, the happier he was.
“By the way, brother, I bought a lot of beast cores as you asked…”
Chuchu stored the mecha and weapons in her storage ring, then took out over a dozen wind and fire-element beast cores.
“Excellent!” Qin Feng’s eyes lit up as he happily accepted them.
Once his wind and fire attributes reached the two-star level, he could directly absorb these beast cores, saving time on collecting them.
“Little one, buying so many beast cores must’ve cost a lot, right?”
Although these cores were only one-star, their quantity wasn’t small.
“Yeah, I spent all the money!” Chuchu stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
“No problem! Money can always be earned again. By the way, have you completed your rank advancement test?”
“Not yet!”
“Why not?”
“I just got the mecha and wasn’t familiar with it. Sister Yan told me to practice first. Once I’ve mastered it, passing the test will be much easier.”
“That makes sense.” Qin Feng nodded. “Where is Sister Yan?”
Thinking of that bold and fiery woman, Qin Feng’s emotions were mixed.
“She went shopping with me yesterday and bought a lot of cultivation resources. She’s now in seclusion, trying to break through to the two-star level.”
Hearing this, Chuchu lowered her voice and asked, “Brother, how did the deal go? Did you get the evidence against the Lin family?”
“I did! The Lin family is in big trouble this time.” Qin Feng smirked devilishly.
He leaned closer and whispered something into Chuchu’s ear.
Hearing this, her eyes widened in shock.
“Little one, take this.” Qin Feng took out a spiritual fruit—the Divine Ice Fruit.
“My goodness!” Chuchu’s mouth fell open.
Her brother’s words turned out to be true.
Moments later, she was filled with joy. “Brother, you’re amazing!”
She excitedly took the Divine Ice Fruit, her hands trembling slightly.
This is an incredibly rare treasure worth over ten billion!
She had never seen anything so precious before. Carefully storing the fruit, Chuchu let out a sigh of relief.
Her face flushed with excitement, envisioning her future as an Elementalist.
“Little one, let’s head to the city now!” Qin Feng said, feeling happy at his sister’s joy.
“Brother, why are we going to the city?”
“To buy more beast cores! Then we’ll both take the rank advancement test!”
At the moment, Qin Feng’s priority was to perfect his ice and thunder attributes.
After that, they would solidify their noble status, giving them the leverage to deal with the Lin family.
“Brother, let’s go!” Chuchu had already been looking forward to this.
However, just as she finished speaking, footsteps echoed from outside the courtyard.
Soon, Wang Jianlai entered with Lin Xue.
