Chapter 73: Great Reclamation, Energy Liquid (First Update!)

The Qin family's people were kidnapped?

Could it be that Brother Ze did it?

The answer seemed obvious.

Qin Shi smiled.

Master is a veteran released after serving his sentence; "Eldest Senior Brother" might be a vicious kidnapper.

Me, a law-abiding three-good student, simply like a Husky mixed into a wolf pack.

"Sister Yun, the Yincheng Qin Family has such great power, yet they still let someone kidnap their son?"

Qin Shi's smile was bashful, acting familiar.

According to his life experience of the past ten-odd years, in most situations, he only needed to be a bit sweeter with his words, a bit more proactive, and the opposite sex would often find it hard to raise aversion, especially older sisters or aunties.

This kind of thing, in the old films screened at the Old Factory Street video hall, was usually called "housewife killer".

Especially with the affinity bonus of the waiter profession, the effect doubled again.

"Yo, the little guy sure knows how to address people."

Side-glancing at Lin Yunqing with a displeased face, Chen Yun deliberately sat a bit closer:

"The vast star sea has dragons and snakes aplenty; not everyone regards family background and status as bigger than the sky. Little Brother Qin, never underestimate the ferocity of desperadoes; when they go crazy, there's nothing they won't do.

Years ago, the only son of Xiang Zhou's richest man also suffered an ordeal; the Sheng family spent a fortune hiring top-tier mental cultivation experts, searching a radius of tens of thousands of li, before finally locking on target and rescuing him successfully."

Lin Yunqing wished she could bare her teeth and pounce to bite Chen Yun hard:

"Hey hey hey! Talking is talking, why stick so close?

Keep this up and I'll complain to your superior, saying Team Leader Chen harassed an underage pure male high schooler!"

Little slut is quite protective of her food!

Chen Yun helplessly moved away, leaning against the other side of the sofa:

"Hengzhou suddenly issued a blockade policy back then, forcing many black households to remain stranded; it's hard to guarantee there aren't any ruthless characters inside.

Especially recently, with rumors spreading wildly that Hengzhou is about to open up, those people are restless, impatient to 'escape from birth to heaven'."

Qin Shi's heart was heavy with doubt; he had repeatedly heard similar mentions of the Hengzhou blockade from Lin Yunqing's mouth, and Lao Liang had also occasionally mentioned it a couple of times.

"Sister Yun..."

He feigned ignorance, probing carefully.

Chen Yun was, after all, an Inspection Team Leader, properly honed for several years, comparatively cautious.

She glanced at Lin Yunqing, lightly bumping the other's ankle with her high heel:

"Telling your family's Little Qin, does that count as violating confidentiality rules? Express a stance!

So you don't turn around and report me, claiming credit and rewards for me."

Lin Yunqing shrugged, not caring much:

"Assistant Teacher Qin is definitely going to test into a First-Rank Academy; whenever he enters the student union and gains higher-depth browsing permissions, he'll naturally know.

Military factory great explosion, Hengzhou sealed off — not some unspeakable major secret.

Even taking the civil service administrative aptitude test requires knowing it."

Chen Yun nodded:

"Alright. Actually it's nothing major; first, Hengzhou itself is rather special, more accurately, compelled by the Great Reclamation Movement's special policies, Hengzhou needs to maintain a relatively backward social appearance.

This part of the content, wait until your senior year graduation, consider entering a military academy to join a war regiment, or taking a civil service post, you'll be able to access very detailed content.

For now, I can only tell you: Dongxia's continuous long years of expedition and reclamation is a salvation, not a war; thirty-four administrative regions are all unextinguished sparks.

Perhaps in places even farther, even darker, beyond what you and I can see, many 'sparks' similar to Hengzhou can never be ignited again."

Speaking to the end, Chen Yun's face was solemn, serious; that heroic face faintly revealed a trace of admiration.

"Remembered, Sister Yun."

Qin Shi's face showed bewilderment, but his heart surged with all kinds of guesses.

He pondered: the Great Expedition and Great Reclamation themselves are very strange.

If Dongxia's intention lies in expanding territory, why go to great trouble to mobilize troops, campaign east and west, then have to mobilize massive manpower and resources for reclamation construction?

The original planet — did it not have natives and civilizations born?

In Hengzhou, he had never seen architectural relics or historical records differing from Dongxia's appearance.

"Recover lost territory?"

Four words suddenly flashed through Qin Shi's mind.

Would Dongxia, which burned war across half the galaxy, be recovering and restoring its former territory?

He pressed the inexplicable thought into his heart, continued asking:

"Sister Yun, besides the external routes being blockaded, does Hengzhou have any other control policies?"

Chen Yun raised fine brows, smile at the corner of her mouth:

"Level five electronic suppression, level seven energy blockade. The latter was raised after the military factory great explosion.

Central City and Urban Circle are slightly better, because there's the 'Iron Curtain' existence.

But parts of Dangyang East Suburbs, and the few Wall Cities outside, at most can use elementary communication methods, like walkie-talkies.

Energy-wise, natural energy is best, for example coal, petroleum, and such."

Qin Shi suddenly thought of his eldest sister; she drives a big truck long-distance year-round.

"Sister Yun, if a mobile phone or computer is activated in the wilderness, what would happen?"

"Ever seen an electromagnetic stove that kills? An amateur-level fourth-stage expert roasted alive."

Chen Yun seemed smiling yet not, tone playful.

Electromagnetic stove became a spirit?

Can they pose a lethal threat to martial artists who have broken through the Fifty Point Barrier of Qi Life Force?

"Little Brother Qin, Hengzhou is vast, the Star Sea even vaster; you must first reach the Urban Circle before you have the qualification to gaze toward farther, higher places."

Chen Yun remarked with emotion.

She held the same view as Lin Xiaohan — Qin Shi indeed possessed many extraordinary qualities: the talent of Spirit-Flesh Unity, the Old Martial Arts' Breaking Limits Road.

Yet Lin Yunqing went all-in with her wealth, betting on a high school student who had not yet shown his brilliance, whose wings were not yet full.

It was truly too adventurous!

If Qin Shi's "Qin" were the "Qin" of the Yincheng Qin Family, it would barely be acceptable.

After all, resource cultivation and vision and insight — in every aspect the difference was not many.

It was not that there was no opportunity to catch up to the Heaven's Chosen of the Imperial Capital and Haizhou.

"Hmph, how long has Assistant Teacher Qin been in contact with Old Martial Arts? In one month he has nearly walked the road I walked in a year."

Lin Yunqing was like a cat with its fur standing on end — this was the financial product she had chosen, and she would not tolerate anyone looking down on it.

"Alright alright alright, Little Brother Qin wins in being young; he is precisely at the Golden Stage of developing Qi Life Force.

Xiao Qingqing, hope you can feed him until he's full, don't delay his development."

Chen Yun was every inch an old driver, starting to speed onto the highway at the drop of a hat.

"Pah!"

Lin Yunqing spat once, then immediately looked smug, slipped on her cool slippers and sprinted back to her room, then rushed out in a flurry.

"Clack clack clack clack! United Pharmaceutical product! Level 4 Energy Liquid!"

Qin Shi's gaze was instantly firmly drawn to the thing in Lin Yunqing's hand.

It was a bottle of roughly a hundred milliliters of potion, the liquid clear and bright, presenting a deep blue color.

Shaken lightly, gorgeous radiance scattered amid the rippling light.

As if a radar had moved, 【Overgrowth】 immediately triggered!

Detailed information floated into view on the retina —

【Food Ingredient Classification: Potion】

【Quality: Low Grade】

【Edible Parts: All liquid capacity stored inside the bottle】

【Consumption Effect: Blood boils, enhances cell vitality, stimulates blood flesh tissue, dormancy】

"Heh heh heh, Assistant Teacher Qin."

Lin Yunqing set one hand on her waist, tilted her head back and laughed loudly:

"For this bottle of Level 4 Energy Liquid, you'll do anything, right?"
