Chapter 30 - A Toast to Our Friendship! (1/2)

Everyone was full of food and drinks. Qin Fen had gone to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Song Jia drew close to Lin Liqiang in a whisper, “I know that you’re very good at biochemical beast research and development, but such a thing only exists in theory. I’m not sure you could have developed it by yourself.”

“This…. Haha….” Lin Liqiang chuckled forcefully, “I’m a genius, you know~”

“Stolen,” Enzo Rota’s faint voice rang out, causing the color of Lin Liqiang’s to subtly change.

Song Jia’s eyes lit up as she immediately understood exactly what happened. Lin Liqiang was the second son of the Earth’s Biochemical Beast Group. He was also known as a genius in biochemical beast research and development, and his computer skills were top notch as well. It wasn’t an impossibility for him to use his identity to steal the research materials internal to the group.

No matter how much a genius Lin Liqiang, he would still need a foundation to be able to develop an article like this.

The current Lin Liqiang was too young, after all. There were many things he was lacking. He needed time to be able to truly develop such an object by himself.

However, Qin Fen was soon going to serve the military. Lin Liqiang really didn’t have much time to do all the work independently. So, he could only take the risk out of desperation.

That’s right! He took a big risk! The richer one was, the more troublesome the stakes! Lin Liqiang wasn’t the only choice of heir to the Super Beast Group. Such actions would likely lead to changes in his life track.

“Why?” Song Jia didn’t quite understand. She had taken her own risks in desperation out of feelings she weren’t able to control. Why did Lin Liqiang take this risk?

“Sometimes….” Lin Liqiang scratched his temples with an index finger, “Friendship between men is very hard to describe. If it wasn’t so, Old Enz wouldn’t have done the same thing as me.”

“You’re saying…!” Song Jia was shocked once more.

“Think about it, eh?” Lin Liqiang laughed, “No matter how much of a genius Old Enz is, he’s still the same age as me, right? He’s like me, lacking the resources that’s accumulated through time. What else could we have done in such short notice besides steal…?”

“It’s borrowing….” Enzo Rota said sarcastically, causing the two, who were quite calm people, to burst out into laughter. This classmate Enzo Rota was like the Kong Yiji from folklore, who said that he wasn’t stealing, he was pilfering! Enzo Rota was even more amazing, simply saying he was borrowing.

“What’s going on?” Qin Fen came out from the bathroom and saw the two roaring in laughter. He was really confused.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.” Lin Liqiang raised a glass of alcohol high, “Old Qin’s going to be a soldier! A toast! To our friendship!”

The four glasses collided fiercely together, as the room rang with everyone’s voices in unison, “To our friendship!”

At a port noisy with clamor, a large number of teenagers wearing fresh military uniforms said their goodbyes to the loved ones sending them off.

The Federation’s East Asia recruit training wasn’t located in Treasure Island but in Australia. The modern world was unified under the Federation, so there weren’t borders between countries. Often times, new recruits would be sent to Europe, America, and even Mars once they completed training. None of this was surprising.

In the skies above the port, an avant-garde flying saucer model maglev Ferrari sports car moved at high speeds. It left streaks of air streams in the sky, visible to the naked eye, drawing the attention of the other people sending their loved ones farewell.

The convertible top of the sports car, made of composite material, slowly opened up. Song Jia wore fresh and cool gym clothes, and her black long hair was tied in a pony tail to hang down to her hips. Her divine eyes flashed with a lively light as she looked at a certain someone in the car.

The beautiful girl, who had just walked out, made everyone’s eyes light up.

Qin Fen got out of the car, his face burning hot. He really wasn’t used to being watched by so many people.

“Another soldier of a powerful family.”
