Sky-cracking Rider

Ordinary people definitely couldn't do what Chen Fei did, especially with a problematic "Dog System" stirring things up, always throwing life-and-death challenges their way. No wonder Teacher Shen Fei couldn't understand.

Even Chen Fei himself found it quite painful.

If he hadn't wracked his brain, he almost wouldn't have been able to cope.

"The starting price for the 'Flying Dragon' tactical armor is 1.2 billion Star Yuan, and with your full configuration, it's almost 2 billion Star Yuan. I think the Henghai Tactical Weapons Group is taking quite a loss,"

Teacher Shen Fei covered her mouth and snickered, but inadvertently ended up with flour all over her face, looking like a white-bearded old man.

However, she wasn't too worried about the debts Chen Fei was taking on anymore. After all, 5 million Star Yuan was nothing compared to this suit of "Flying Dragon" tactical armor,

Moreover, he had already saved up 3 million Star Yuan. The day to pay off the debt was near, no wonder he was so relaxed.

"I was thinking the same thing!"

Chen Fei burst into laughter.

How could it not be a loss?

Losing a bet meant not only losing face but also losing a single soldier tactical armor. And in the end, not even the man came back, just Little Sister Chen!

That's right, Chen Fei, your sister!

Only Chen Meng, stuck in the middle, was truly innocent. Those years in college were not easy!

Men and women working together is less tiring, and time passes quickly.

Ding! A mechanical clock set for a specific time chimed crisply, stopping the countdown.

Shen Fei opened the top layer of the steamer, sidestepped the rising white steam, and poked at one of the bowls of steamed pork with her chopsticks. The meat, soaked in sauce and enveloped by broken rice, was thoroughly cooked inside and out.

She smiled with satisfaction, as the simple and delicious steamed lamb was ready!

"It's ready, we can start eating!"

"I'm about done here too!"

Chen Fei also scooped up a piece of white radish, took a look, and after nearly ten minutes of high heat stewing, the jade-white radish pieces had turned translucent.

Teacher Shen's required ten minutes were entirely taken care of by him.

"Let's eat!"

Shen Fei came out to the yard and picked up a stick to vigorously strike a steel pipe hanging under the eaves.

Gong gong gong gong!

The crisp striking sound had different meanings at different times, and at this moment, it signified mealtime.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With a loud call, cheers erupted inside and outside the courtyard.

Students swarmed in from all directions, pulling out their bowls and chopsticks and lining up at the kitchen door in a long queue.

The yard-keeping big yellow dog barked eagerly and cut to the front of the line, proving it's truly first when it comes to eating.

"Eh? Where's the big black dog?"

Chen Fei easily lifted down the roughly thirty-pound stainless steel soup pot from the stove. To fill the hungry stomachs of these elementary students, two such pots were required, otherwise, he couldn't control the situation.

Just think about a bunch of kids with knives in their arms; if they weren't well fed, there could be trouble.

"Um…"

As she carried the steaming trays, Shen Fei hesitated for a moment, managed a forced smile, and said, "Dead!"

"Ah?"

Chen Fei was taken aback; that dog was still in its prime, guarding the house and the courtyard daily. How could it just die like that?

Having raised two dogs for so long, they had developed some affection. With tearful eyes, Shen Fei continued, "Recently, there's been an increase in wolves in the mountains. 'Ah Mao' died protecting the students from a wolf attack."

"Wolves? There are wolves near the school?"

Chen Fei gasped in shock.

The local mountain people regularly cleared the fierce wild beasts near the school. Even so, the wolf pack still reached the school and killed the most ferocious big black dog. How rampant had they become?

No, he must eliminate them as soon as possible.

"The wolves roam around the mountains, and sometimes they're hard to guard against. The villagers have already eliminated a batch, and they likely won't return anytime soon,"

Teacher Shen Fei recalled the night outside the school's courtyard walls when glowing eyes stacked upon each other and the iron gate was thunderously struck, nonstop howling of the wolves echoing. She shuddered uncontrollably.

If the local villagers hadn't heard the gunshots and grenade explosions coming from the school and rushed over with weapons, the night could have turned out disastrously.

Her Type 95 automatic rifle had almost run out of ammo and still couldn't stop the cunning wolves that clambered over the wall using each other as stepping stones.

"No, we can't just let this go. I'll clear out all the wild beasts within a hundred miles when I have time."

Chen Fei looked at the high walls of the courtyard and then said, "This afternoon, I'm going to build you another net wall."

If it meant spending some precious energy points, so be it; he had to ensure the safety of the whole school and Teacher Shen.

Teacher Shen, feeling somewhat embarrassed, said, "Won't that be too much trouble?"

In her view, it probably required mobilizing personnel and a lot of materials from the Aircrew Base to add another protective wall to the school.

Chen Fei snapped his fingers, confident, and said, "It's very simple, done in minutes!"

"Isn't that too costly?"

Shen Fei still thought it was a big sacrifice for him.

"I'm a Metal Elemental Psychic Power user, it's no trouble at all!"

Chen Fei patted his chest.

As soon as lunch ended, he began to survey the site and marked the ground.

He exchanged Energy Points for metal materials and used the "Metal Shaping" skill to create a series of stainless steel rods eight meters long, inserting one into the ground every five meters, burying it more than a meter deep.

At about one meter from the top of each rod, he angled them outward at 45 degrees, then integrated them with a thorn steel wire mesh, the mesh holes only as big as eggs, to form a circular wall that tightly enclosed both the entire Patan Elementary School and the hundred-plus meters of sprint track, leaving only a sliding door as the entrance and exit.

The height of the walls and the half-centimeter-thick wires were sufficient to make any ferocious beast think twice. If a trench were dug around it, it would be even more foolproof.

When the thorn wire mesh wall was finally completed, all of the elementary students cheered.

"Just add another layer of wire mesh to the courtyard wall and it'll be pretty much set. I'll order some solar-powered night lights with infrared sensors later, they can also serve as an early warning system,"

Chen Fei wiped his sweat. He had used up 50 Energy Points and exchanged for 50 tons of 430 stainless steel, which was really a loss-making deal.

But no matter if it were 50 Energy Points or even 5,000, nothing was more important than Teacher Shen's safety.

Heck, if he had 5,000 Energy Points, he wouldn't bother with a thorn wire wall; he'd just wipe out all the wolves in the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area entirely.

Every canine species would have to be registered and monitored by Jiu Defense Company, otherwise, well, death…

Whether he could do it or not, Chen Fei couldn't guarantee, but Xiao Jiu definitely could.

Killing a few wolves was like child's play for a Third Rank Magical Beast.

"Don't tire yourself out too much!"

Teacher Shen Fei brought him some cool tea.

He held the two-liter tea jar in his hands, threw back his head, and gulped down the drink with relish.

He belched, took a breath, and continued working, throwing in another Energy Point.

Turning around, dang!

The respectable school was now made to look like a prison. If only he could electrify the wire mesh on top of the high walls, it would be perfect!

Add to that the massive circle of wire mesh walls, it even looked more so!

This time, not even a tiger could get in.

Scratching his head!

At least he could finally stop worrying about the fierce beasts that roamed the wilderness encroaching on them.

Dingling ling ling.

Chen Fei's phone rang.

Thanks to the network signal he had drawn to Patan Elementary School, his phone still maintained connectivity even here.

"Rookie, are you at Teacher Shen's place?"

The voice belonged to Irinei Rusios, the short-haired "Devil Pepper," deputy leader of the "Genuine Fragrance" squad.

Chen Fei tentatively asked, "Right, is there a mission?"

Big Brother Xiao from the maintenance crew usually wouldn't contact him for something urgent out of the blue; even if there was something, he would generally wait for Chen Fei to return before giving him the details, and it usually wasn't anything urgent.

"It's a commission from the Joint Defense Committee, and you're nearby,"

"Devil Pepper" Irinei Rusios's words confirmed Chen Fei's guess.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Since he had just finished up with the work at Teacher Shen's place, Chen Fei had the bandwidth to take on the company's assigned mission.

Moreover, commissions from the Joint Defense Committee tended to be quite rewarding.

"About 30 kilometers northwest of your location, there's a nature research team under attack by wolves. Go and help them. Also, you need to be aware that among the science and education team, there are relatives of senior members of the Joint Defense Committee."

"Devil Pepper" Irinei Rusios briefly outlined the mission.

A mere pack of wolves did not warrant bombardment from the ground by 911 Aircrew Base, nor even deploying Z-9 armed helicopters, as they wouldn't likely arrive any sooner than Chen Fei's large tricycle.

A Metal Elemental Psychic Power user taking personal action was just the right way to demonstrate Jiu Defense's commitment to the mission

and could thoroughly reassure the Joint Defense Committee bigwig who had handed down the task.

"Received, I'm on my way!"

Chen Fei handed back the large tea jar to Teacher Shen Fei and said, "Got a mission, won't stay for dinner tonight, Teacher Shen, I'm off first."

Darn those wolves, it seemed enemies were always bound to meet. This mission was a good chance to settle things once and for all.

Whether these wolves had ever been to Teacher Shen Fei's Patan Elementary was irrelevant; what mattered was eliminating the risks in advance.

"Eh? Leaving now? Wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

Teacher Shen Fei sprinted towards the kitchen and then rushed to the short runway with a large bag of still-warm bread, catching up with Chen Fei just as he reached his large tricycle, tying it directly onto the truck's rack.

The routine goodbye bread, always consistent.

"All set, be careful!"

"Thanks, bye!"

Chen Fei gestured, waiting for Teacher Shen Fei to move to a safe distance before he started the engine, the propeller blades spinning rapidly.

With the large tricycle lightly loaded, it sped along the track for a few meters, then with a tilt of its nose, effortlessly lifted off the ground.

"Location..."

Just as the large tricycle ascended, the tactical armor "Flying Dragon" received positioning data transmitted from the battlefield data link.
