Chapter 7 - Two Weird Friends (Part 1/2) (2/2)
Qin Fen’s thoughts traveled to the past as he looked at the picture, and the excitement in his heart gradually calmed. He just sat there, reminiscing the little details of the past, until his bedside clock went beep beep. Only then did he realize that he had sat there for practically the entire night.
“It’s milk delivery time!” Qin Fen didn’t have time to attend to anything else. He simply got off the bed and rushed out the room.
Morning milk deliveries was one of Qin Fen’s sources of income. He was different from the other milkmen; he didn’t need a bicycle or a motorcycle as a means of transportation. He simply carried the milk and ran the entire way, delivering milk as he went from house to house.
He could make money and train his strength at the same time! He always felt that he would need to use martial arts on the path to find his brother. Intentionally or otherwise, Qin Fen had thought of a way to make money while training his body at the same time.
After he delivered milk to a hundred households, Qin Fen ate his breakfast by the side of the road in haste. His mind and body weren’t even the slightest bit tired.
There’s no use worrying about things; the hospital haven’t found any problems, after all! Qin Fen reassured himself as he dashed to school. This was one of the three best high schools in East Asia—Treasure Island’s Founding Central!
A gentle breeze drifted in as Qin Fen stood in front of the school gate, and his mind tingled once more. Obviously, there weren’t any differences between the surrounding environments of today and yesterday, but he had far clearer sensations of the world when compared to yesterday.
How amazing! Qin Fen was unable to describe just what kind of feeling it was. As a martial artist, his eyes should be watching six roads and his ears should be listening in eight directions, having a clear awareness of the surrounding environment at all times. Some people gave this ability a name—Perception.
Qin Fen always had confidence in his own perception. He believed that there weren’t many other people in his grades with stronger perception than him. But today, Qin Fen had a sort of indescribable sensation. It was as if eyes had grown up and down his entire body. The clarity and scope of his perception ability had significantly grown when compared to yesterday.
One hand quickly patted his back, and Qin Fen was a bit stunned. An expression of astonishment slipped through his face. In the past, he could only perceive the identity of a person behind him. Today, it was as if he had truly grown extra eyes. He could even tell the changes in the muscles on the person’s face behind him. He perceived it with absolute clarity through the flow of the air!
“Hey!” A hand carrying quite some force smacked Qin Fen on the shoulder. A handsome and positively glowing face appeared before Qin Fen, “What’s up? Normally you have at least a bit of a weak reaction. Today there isn’t a reaction at all. Have you heard about that thing? Is that what’s going on?”
“What thing?” Qin Fen made a curious expression, meeting the mysterious expression of this companion who was hesitating on what he wanted to say.
Lin Liqiang. The best looking dude in Founding Central. He was handsome, and he also had one of the top grades in th school, even though he would sleep through tests. But nobody knew how strong or weak he was in martial arts; there was only his claim that he had fought and won hundred times in the Sky Martial Battle Network and never lost once. None of this was what drew people’s attention the most; it was his research in biochemical beasts that was the most astonishing. With a young age of one who hadn’t gone to university yet, he had already been accepted through special enrollment by the Federal University of Science and Technology’s Department of Biochemistry. Others could him a super genius that appeared once every one hundred years, researching in the field of biochemical beasts. His catchphrase: “Splendid….”
Lin Liqiang was dissatisfied with how the outside world praised him. He often complained in front of Qin Fen that all the people under the heavens were blind, that Qin Fen and Enzo Rota were the only people with the eyes able to discover his greatest strength.
Of course, Qin Fen really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about this strength. It was hard to imagine that Lin Liqiang’s proudest strength was not his talent and ability as the top-notch biochemical beast expert of the Federation. Instead, he cared more about his strength in pursuing girls.
