On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

Under the huge flower tree, three people stood facing each other, and petals fluttered down from the tree from time to time and scattered on the ground.

Shi Chu stood aside obediently.

Judging from what the teacher said, the other party should be a senior figure in a certain research field like the teacher.

The surname is Qin? Could it be the Qin family, one of the seven major families in the Federation?

There are seven major families in the Federation, namely the Luo family, the Qin family, the Ling family, the Dongfang family, the Helicis family, the Lecter family and the Alvid family.

Like the Dongfang family, the Qin family is committed to the high-end technology research field of the Federation, but the Qin family is better at space research, while the Dongfang family is more inclined to the source energy field.

Qin Jie glanced at Dongfang Qunyu obscurely, rummaged through his suit pocket, took out a transparent bracelet made of unknown material, and handed it to Dongfang Qunyu.

"Here, let me show you my latest research results. Don't say that I don't value you as a student."

He turned to look at Shichu and said slowly: "Little girl, consider this as a gift to you in advance. I won't go to your apprenticeship ceremony when the time comes, so as not to offend your teacher."

"I'm glad you know." Dongfang Qunyu took the bracelet, checked it, and handed it to Shichu after finding no problems.

"Thank you, Uncle Qin." Shi Chu took the bracelet and thanked him with a smile.

The bracelet feels a little cold and soft to the touch, and I don’t know what material it is made of.

But I think that if such a big shot gives something, it must be good stuff.

"You have made some practical achievements in the past few years with the latest space folding technology. It's a pity that it is still far from perfection. Your storage device can only store a few things." Dongfang Qunyu gave his evaluation without any hesitation.

Qin Jie just smiled and said, "The Federation is still in the exploratory stage for this technology. I was able to succeed because of good luck. This is already the one with the largest storage space among the few dozen finished products."

"That's all, so-so." Dongfang Qunyu tapped the ground with his cane and said in a tone of dismissing an uninvited guest, "Okay, send me a copy of the instructions when the time comes and I'll pass it on to her."

"I have said all that I need to say. Goodbye."

Qin Jie looked at her deeply, as if there was some unspeakable emotion in his eyes. He said sincerely, "I hope to see you again in the Federal Research Institute, Qunyu. I believe that with your ability, you will definitely shine in the field of source energy."

"After all, you were the one who defeated me back then."

The average life expectancy of federal citizens has reached 130 years. Those who come from large families have abundant medical care and various resources at their disposal, and their life expectancy will be 20 to 30 years longer than that of ordinary people.

Now you and I are less than 90 years old. For us researchers, this is the peak period of scientific research. The early accumulation has reached a very high level, and this is the time when it is easiest to produce scientific research results.

But ten years ago, after Gu Fengshan passed away, you suddenly retired. Love really changes a person, changes you, changes him, and changes me.

He turned and waved.

"Looking forward to your return."

My old classmate, my old enemy, and the person I can't wait for.

It's been ten years, it's time for you to come back.

I was really unwilling to lose to that beta boy back then. I never thought that one day I would lose to a powerless poor boy who rose to prominence late in life.

Life is so impermanent.

Since it's no longer possible for us to be together, let's be rivals for life.

……

Dongfang Qunyu looked at his figure as he walked away and slowly withdrew his gaze.

She took out a jade plaque made of green jade from her bosom, on which was engraved the dragon and phoenix pattern, the symbol of the Dongfang family.

"This is a token of the Dongfang family."

As she spoke, she took out a small metal token engraved with flames and olive branches, and said slowly, "This is my personal token of loyalty, teacher."

"Please keep these two tokens. If you encounter someone who is blind and bullies you, you don't have to swallow your anger. The Dongfang family will always support you."

"I have already passed on the instructions for using the space bracelet to you. Just put them in it and carry them with you when the time comes."

She patted Shichu's shoulder and said earnestly, "Teacher will return to Gulan Star in the next two weeks to prepare for your apprenticeship ceremony. You should be careful when staying on the main star by yourself. If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, go to the Luo family. They are now partners with the Dongfang family and will help you for the sake of the Dongfang family."

"Also, you will be 19 next week. It's time to awaken your spiritual power. I have already made an appointment for you at the Ling family hospital. When the time comes, you can show them my personal token and someone will help you."

"I understand, teacher, don't worry."

……

Sunday, Outer Ring Star.

Shi Chu rolled around in bed for a few times before getting up. Too many things had happened recently.

Now that everything was finally solved, she fell into a deep sleep and lost consciousness.

It's already five o'clock in the afternoon.

She went to the bathroom to wash up, opened her computer and ordered a takeaway. Then she found the incense burner she had passionately ordered last night, held three sticks of incense in her hands, carefully lit them with fire, and inserted them into the incense burner.

The smoke of cigarettes rises up and permeates the air, bringing with it a mysterious and quiet atmosphere.

She slowly closed her eyes, as if she was praying silently, or as if she was simply letting her thoughts run wild.

"Ding Dong, your takeaway has been delivered."

A gentle mechanical voice came from the other side of the door.

Shi Chu opened her eyes, which instantly lit up. She walked to the door in her slippers and saw the robot outside through the surveillance. The robot had already put the takeaway into the storage area at the door and turned away. She opened the special takeaway temporary storage channel on the door and took out the takeaway.

She sat down at the dining table and laid out the dinner in a reverent manner.

The moment the dinner was opened, a rich aroma hit me like a surging wave.

What catches your eye is a box full of bright red braised pork ribs. Each piece of ribs is plump and thick, the meat on it is firm and tender, and it is covered with thick sauce. The rich meaty aroma exudes straight into your nose.

Shi Chu picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, his eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars.

Wow, it’s so delicious. It’s worthy of being the meat of a young Hoh Xil star beast worth 20 star coins. It’s money well spent.

That is to say, she has become rich overnight, so she can buy some to reward her wounded heart and mouth.

She picked up the Alzime plum juice beside her and took a sip. It had a refreshing and non-greasy taste with just the right sweetness. The cool liquid flowed in her mouth, as if countless cool water droplets were dancing on her taste buds.

Shi Chu couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

This is life. Thinking back to that week of drinking plain water and nutritional supplements, she couldn't help but want to cry.

You bastard, you'd better open one eye and close the other when you sleep, and keep both eyes on guard in turn, and pray that you don't fall into my hands in the future.

After dinner, she rested for a while, browsed the Star Network, and then skillfully lay down in the game cabin, ready to start the task.

This week, she only used Luo Yanchuan's computer to complete her daily tasks, and has not yet completed her weekly tasks.

While waiting to access the game, she suddenly remembered that she did not want to log into her StarNet account on someone else's computer and leave her personal information.

So she directly used Luo Yanchuan's Star Network account to play Blazing Front. Since he had never played it before, she created a new account using her own body data.

Wait, that guy wouldn't do anything weird with his avatar, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.

No, she would have to ask him for the computer when she went to school tomorrow and delete all the game data in it.
