Chapter 708: with translation of chapter title

Time passed quickly; in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.

October 19, Monday.

Lin Feng, who had been away for a few days, returned to the desert base.

Zhao Xiaoyang and Liu Erwa brought He Dazhuang over to give him an enhancement.

When Lin Feng came over in the evening, He Dazhuang had already finished the enhancement.

He was competing in strength with Liu Erwa.

The two were carrying the pure copper that resulted from smelting gold and copper together, which weighed one ton.

Surprisingly, the two of them lifted it up.

"Boom~"

He Dazhuang was the first to give out, throwing the one‑ton copper block onto the ground.

Liu Erwa gave a hehe laugh and held on for another ten minutes.

Seeing Liu Erwa's smug look, Zhao Xiaoyang shook his head and said, "Liu Er, Dazhuang is far stronger than you."

"Back when you were enhanced for a few days, you couldn't even lift something weighing one ton!"

Liu Erwa gave a hehe laugh, patted He Dazhuang's shoulder, and said, "My strengths aren't just strength; I can also drive a big truck…"

He had half a sentence left to say, but Liu Erwa almost let it slip out.

That nickname, "accident‑prone specialist," was a bit embarrassing.

He Dazhuang nodded, flattering Liu Erwa: "Yes, yes, my brain isn't very sharp; I only have strength."

Liu Erwa gave another hehe laugh.

Lin Chang'e was also watching from the side.

Seeing the two finish their contest, she walked over, grabbed a one‑ton iron block with one hand, and then lifted it single‑handedly.

Her feet weren't big enough, so the one‑ton weight concentrated on her two small feet, sinking both feet into the underground rock.

"Sister!"

Just then Lin Eleven walked over and called out.

"Ah!"

Lin Chang'e responded with a sound.

At that moment her strength gave way.

"Thud~"

The one‑ton copper block crashed down, burying Lin Chang'e, leaving only her legs sticking out.

Seeing this, Lin Eleven first froze, then burst into tears with a wail.

He didn't mean to distract Lin Chang'e on purpose.

Although he seemed mature, Lin Eleven was still, after all, a child.

Now Lin Chang'e had been flattened by the pressure, feeling very sad.

Zhao Xiaoyang and Liu Erwa reacted first, running over and immediately lifting the copper block.

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng shook his head.

It would be strange if Lin Chang'e could be killed by a one‑ton object.

Sure enough, when Zhao Xiaoyang and Liu Erwa moved the copper block, they saw a human shape appear on the ground.

Lin Chang'e gave a hehe laugh and sprang to Lin Eleven's front.

"Lin Eleven, I didn't expect you to care so much about your sister!"

Lin Chang'e patted Lin Eleven's head and said.

"Huff~"

Zhao Xiaoyang, Liu Erwa, and He Dazhuang each let out a long breath.

Just now that was really frightening.

"Sluurp~"

Lin Eleven sucked back the snot he had cried out.

Then he turned and walked away, looking as if he were angry.

"Lin Eleven, are you angry?"

Lin Chang'e spread her arms to block Lin Eleven, hands on her hips, and asked.

Lin Eleven snorted, "You're wasting feelings; I'll never trust you again."

"I was just teasing you; don't be angry!"

"I'm leaving! Going to do homework."

Lin Chang'e hurriedly stopped her steps.

A few days ago, the incident of being punished by Qi Yao to fill out forms resurfaced in her mind.

Aunt Qi Yao is simply too harsh; if you write a wrong character, you have to rewrite it.

If the punctuation is wrong, rewrite.

If a number is written incorrectly, rewrite…

For three whole days, over ten pages of forms, she rewrote them over a hundred times!

This was even worse than being locked up by her mother for three days.

Today I joked with Lin Eleven, made him cry; if Aunt Qi Yao found out, she'd surely punish me by making me do homework with Lin Eleven.

Forget it; this time I won't let it go.

Turning around, Lin Chang'e flung herself into Lin Feng's arms, sweetly calling, "Dad!"

Lin Feng, holding Lin Chang'e, said, "You only see me now? You're really making dad sad."

Lin Chang'e planted a kiss on Lin Feng's cheek and said, "No! I saw dad you came a long time ago; you see I didn't cry, Lin Eleven cried."

Lin Feng pinched Lin Chang'e's nose and said, "It's because I'm worried about you, big sister; next time you can't play that kind of joke with Lin Eleven."

"Got it."

Lin Chang'e lowered her head and said.

Lin Feng said, "Now Lin Eleven has gone back to do homework; you made a mistake, should you be punished?"

"Mm!" Lin Chang'e nodded.

"Then what should you do next?"

"I'll go help Lin Eleven with homework."

Lin Feng laughed, "That's right!"

Saying that, Lin Feng placed Lin Chang'e on the ground.

"Bye, dad!"

Lin Chang'e waved at Lin Feng and ran off to find Lin Eleven.

Lin Feng smiled even more.

"Brother!"

Zhao Xiaoyang walked over, smiling, and said.

"Brother Feng!"

Liu Erwa and He Dazhuang shouted in unison.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Since the three of you are here, let's go outside for barbecue and beer!"

"Great!"

Half an hour later, a bonfire rose in the desert.

Lin Feng, Zhao Xiaoyang, Liu Erwa, and He Dazhuang sat around a grill.

They ate grilled lamb skewers while drinking beer and chatting.

"These evenings eating skewers in Yanjing have become boring."

Zhao Xiaoyang shook his head and said.

The nights in Yanjing have gotten a bit cold.

When it gets cold, you basically can't see beautiful legs anymore.

Everyone is wrapped like a rice dumpling, impossible to tell their figures.

"How's that little web‑drama star of yours doing?"

After the four clinked their beer bottles, Lin Feng asked Zhao Xiaoyang.

"We broke up."

Zhao Xiaoyang said, "Being with me was just for resources. But I also did right by her; I had Mu Nian's sister‑in‑law get her signed into Great Flag Media."

"Now she's already a somewhat famous little star, attached to a big director."

After finishing, Zhao Xiaoyang shook his head.

Then Zhao Xiaoyang talked about his son.

Yu Yanni's baby in her womb is already six months old, expected to be born in the middle of next year's first month.

It's a girl; the right to name her has already been taken away by Aunt Wang.

Thinking that in three months he'll also have a little cotton‑padded jacket, Zhao Xiaoyang downed a bottle of beer in one go.

Then the four talked about Duan Fei and Cai Hao.

The two, members of the Arutu Tribe, are living quite happily; when they have free time they can even pilot fighter jets.

Speaking of piloting fighter jets, Lin Feng's mind was stirred.

He hasn't flown a fighter jet himself yet!

He could try it when there's nothing else to do.

But that thing is still too dangerous… maybe better not.

Simply for fun, putting oneself into a dangerous situation is not a rational act.

Liu Erwa looked up at the sky and said, "Brother Feng, do you think there's a satellite up there watching us right now?"

Lin Feng also looked up, smiled and said, "Even if there is, it doesn't matter; we're eating barbecue, drinking, if anyone really watches us they'd starve to death!"

Liu Erwa's worry is really a very low‑probability concern.

The blaze in the desert is barely detectable under the satellite's camera.

Even if seen, they'd think it's someone exploring or lost in the desert.

Speaking of satellites, Lin Feng thought of Starlink.

History has changed a bit.

With full support from Mi Guo, Mashek has already prematurely launched the Starlink program.

It has now launched over a hundred cheap satellites.

The end of the year is near; Huang Ziping's Jasmine No. 3 and No. 4 have already been mostly assembled.

Hoping to take a spin around the Moon before the New Year.

Qi Yao's Scalpel is already starving with thirst.
