Chapter 223: 159, Military Region Mecha_2
Zhang Wanxin: “Let’s settle on this then. Don’t get cold feet later and say you don’t want kids. Young people these days love their freedom, and they drop the idea of having them at the drop of a hat.”
Lin Yansheng was unconvinced: “It’s not that young people love freedom and choose not to have kids; it’s that the pressure is too great and they can’t afford it. If they had the money, who wouldn’t want a house full of children?”
Zhang Wanxin gave him a look: “Alright, I get it, you’re smart. Now shut your mouth, I’m getting irritated just listening to you.”
Listening to his parents’ banter, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but smile.
His parents still bickered just like when they were young; nothing had changed.
It felt like a match made in heaven.
More than an hour later.
Zhang Wanxin, now content, got up from the sofa.
Seeing this, Lin Yansheng immediately scurried over and lay down on the sofa, then said:
“Xiao Chen, focus on my waist when you massage. It’s been a bit sore lately, and it’s quite a struggle to stand up straight.”
“Alright.”
Lin Zichen responded and quickly started massaging Lin Yansheng’s waist.
As he enjoyed the massage, Lin Yansheng sighed: “When you reach middle age, your body starts to go downhill, and your energy isn’t what it used to be. I’ll need to focus on maintaining my health from now on.”
Lin Zichen didn’t say anything, but he took his father’s words to heart.
Another hour passed.
The massage was over.
Lin Zichen took out his phone, opened the credit store, and bought various expensive supplements for his parents.
Ones for beauty and skin care.
Ones for boosting vitality.
Ones for calming the mind and improving brain function.
As long as it was beneficial for his parents’ health, he blindly placed orders, completely ignoring the price.
In the end, the checkout amount was nearly 100 credits, which was almost equivalent to one million yuan.
Money spent on his parents, no matter how much, was always worth it.
Lin Zichen only hoped his parents could age slower, better yet, stay forever young.
Lin Zichen noticed that Ma Xiwei’s nose had healed; it looked as good as new and one would never guess that it had been crushed just nine days ago.
The medical field in this world was incredibly advanced.
As long as a person wasn’t dead and had sufficient funds, even the most severe injuries could be quickly healed.
“Next semester, I must surpass you,” Ma Xiwei said, looking up at Shen Qinghan as she approached.
Shen Qinghan wasn’t sure how to respond and hesitated for a moment before nodding and uttering a soft “Mm.”
Before long,
Yuan Dongzhi descended from the administrative building.
She didn’t take the stairs or the elevator, instead she floated out of a window and gently drifted down to the ground under the gaze of the five.
All five wore faces full of longing, wishing they could fly freely through the air like Yuan Dongzhi.
However, that was too distant a dream for them at the moment.
Unless they were mechanically modified humans with reverse airflow propulsion devices or genetic integrators with the gene of an exotic beast,
To engage in flight control, one’s biological level needed at least to begin at rare level.
The five of them weren’t even high-level creatures yet, so evolving into rare-level creatures seemed out of reach.
Evolving into a rare-level creature required not only talent but also a vast amount of evolution resources.
Acquiring such a magnitude of evolution resources was nearly impossible on Earth; they would need to enter the Origin Land to have any chance.
“Have you all packed everything you need for spending the next month at the military district?” Yuan Dongzhi asked with a cold gaze in a purple cheongsam and ten-centimeter heels.
All five affirmed that they had.
Yuan Dongzhi nodded and did not speak further.
Shortly after,
A military helicopter appeared overhead, hovering above the rooftop of the administrative building.
Yuan Dongzhi said to the five, “I was going to drive you there myself, but a friend from the military district insisted on sending a helicopter for the transport when they heard I was coming.”
Shen Qinghan looked at Yuan Dongzhi with a face full of admiration... ”
The other four were unfazed, their expressions calm.
Li Moyu, Ma Xiwei, and Luo Yongjian, being the scions of wealthy families, were accustomed to such spectacles and were not surprised.
As for Lin Zichen, his calm demeanor was simply a part of his personality; he tended to be unaffected by external excitement or sorrow.
