Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1241 - 1210: Banter

In order to help Chen Shan gather enough vitality and spirit to maintain the best state, Chen Fei released the long-lost Mobile Base Vehicle from his Space System Alchemy Storage Device, with its 20-meter-wide body easily accommodating the entire family of Uncle's.

"This vehicle is really... convenient!"

Riding the Mobile Base Vehicle for the first time, Chen Shan couldn't sit still and curiously walked around the cabin. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" had already perfected the driving model, so the people inside felt very little acceleration or deceleration overload and vibration. The vehicle itself had a built-in magic array, allowing it to "float" over any bumps that the shock absorption system couldn't handle. Even crossing water was not an issue, as it could skim low over water surfaces for hundreds of kilometers.

Uncle Chen Haiqing calmly said, "This one should be the prototype!"

This model of the Mobile Base Vehicle was quite famous, with many sovereignties having them in active service.

Chen Fei nodded and said, "Yes, this is my retirement money."

The initial copyright sale was a fortune, but the continuous minor improvements were still needed by buyers. Continuous optimization during actual application proved to be more valuable than working behind closed doors.

"How much can you earn? More than my pocket money?"

Truly the Crown Prince of National Defense Star, Chen Shan's tone was full of superiority.

He wasn't your typical spoiled heir; even his training allowance exceeded the salary of an average wage earner. Even without pocket money from his parents, eating, drinking, and using things from home with no major expenses like luxury cars or models, he naturally wouldn't be short of money.

"Not much, probably around a hundred thousand a year!"

Chen Fei didn't do it deliberately; normally, the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" would organize it and send it to manufacturers, who would then decide how much to pay.

With the long-term use of the Mobile Base Vehicle here, both sides had a long-standing cooperative relationship, similar to the exclusive supplier of Single Soldier Tactical Armor from Henghai Tactical Weapons Group. Improvements were made during usage, exchanging technical advancements for bonuses, mutually beneficial collaboration, and everyone had an easier time.

Small improvements and optimizations, though each brought in a small amount, eventually accumulated to a considerable sum, even comparable to the initial transfer price of the entire vehicle design.

"Tch! Just that little amount, how is it enough to spend!"

Chen Shan scorned, dismissing the small change.

"I don't have much need for money."

Chen Fei indeed didn't have much cash. The partnership in the Flesh Mushroom industry was still in the expanding phase, with little dividends. If there was no expenditure, then once there was, it would be substantial. Nowadays, even though the account balance was just shy of ten million, the value of actual fixed assets couldn't be measured in cash.

Setting aside the Life Space connected by the "Boundary Pearl" and the massive resources stored by "Spatial Branding," just talking about the currently occupied Star Systems: the Emerald Star in the No.1 Star System was facing a nuclear winter due to nuclear strikes, with life gradually perishing. The Antalu Star in the No.2 Star System had an extremely harsh ecological environment, and the Xiya Star had completely lost its vitality. But the potential of these three Life Planets was still there, and they weren't beyond saving.

Reviving Life Planets was as simple as a routine meal for the "Life Tree," which had acquired most of its biotech from the "Sagali" civilization. All it required was the time for natural propagation. The Life Space created by the "Boundary Pearl" had already set a template; copying that directly was child's play.

"Have you prepared the house, car, and gifts for the wedding? You're not going to use this car as the wedding car, are you?"

Imagining this intimidating military vehicle being used as a wedding car, Little Shanzi admitted to feeling a bit frightened. Such a setup easily evoked images of abducting a bride, or rather, the Mountain King kidnapping a wife for his stronghold.

"I haven't decided on a house yet, haven't really settled down, but..."

Cities, there were two, and as for Life Space, there was one, leaving Chen Fei unsure where to begin.

"My family will handle it!" Shen Fei clasped Chen Fei's hand, fingers interlocked, and said confidently, "No need for dowry, just bring the person, he'll handle the marrying, I'll handle the wedding, no need for him to move in or marry into the family."

The house, car, and money really weren't an issue for the Shen Family, so there was no point in dwelling on it.

"Hiss!"

Chen Shan drew a sharp breath. This future sister-in-law was so generous it was admirable. What merit did Chen Xiao'er, that foolish brother, have?

"Those things you're nitpicking about are meaningless; one should have a broad perspective."

Father couldn't stand watching anymore, and Chen Haiqing scolded his son. How could a Chen Family disciple concern themselves with such trivial matters? If the Shen Family was that petty, as Chen Fei's uncle, he might have to intervene.

Chen Fei's situation was something he knew a bit about, and it was definitely not just the tip of the iceberg that Chen Shan saw, perhaps not even close to it.

Just having SPA Fruit alone meant it was impossible to be short of money. Even if it didn't extend lifespan, health was something that couldn't be valued in gold.

Chen Shan spread his hands and said, "Come on! Perspective also needs to be realistic! Even heroes have to consider practical issues like daily essentials."

"You know nothing about reality!"

Chen Haiqing sneered at his son's boastfulness.

"Hehe!"

Chen Fei no longer wanted to argue with his clear-minded but foolish little brother, as it was meaningless.

Reality differed vastly from the cinematic and novelized environment of second-generation wastrels. Chen Shan actually didn't receive any exalted "protection" or live among elite circles. From elementary to university, it wasn't some high-end, fancy noble education, and naturally, he didn't have any absurd notions about social classes. However, birds of a feather flock together, and people form groups; losers do not hang out with big shots. Even studying, commuting, or working together, eventually, they won't play in the same league.

Those flashy and pretentious individuals had no chance to get close to Chen Shan. Even if they tried, they would come off as blatantly insincere.

Being young, yet experienced, there weren't many who fit such a description. Even if they did, they didn't need to cling to someone or grab onto a golden opportunity because they could succeed on their own merits.

Every summer vacation, he would be sent off to the homes of Chen Shi, Chen Fei, and Chen Meng. Just thinking about his brothers' fists instilled fear in Chen Shan, making malicious intentions hard to form, ensuring this kid didn't grow up bent.

The two cousins continued to bicker and banter, making the cabin lively, and the Mobile Base Vehicle successfully reached the aviation base of the National Defense Star headquarters before half-past nine.

The medical team was already in place and had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Chen Shan arrived, he was taken away for blood tests and various checkup items to assess whether his physiological and psychological states met the standards for the test training curriculum.

"Let me introduce, this is 'Pearl Chicken' Lu Xia, and the other is 'Flying Dragon Pheasant' Wu Chen!"

The Sky Knight, Ding Xiu, responsible for guiding Chen Shan, introduced the two Sky Knights who arrived last night to Chen Fei and others.

The test training for the Sky Knight required the unanimous approval of four official Sky Knights for it to be truly passed.
