Chapter 39 (2/2)
“Since when have they looked down on me?” asked Qin Feng while twisting his wrists.
If it was not for the experiment that he had gone through before, he was not to be messed with. Qin Feng had spent his entire childhood at the orphanage, and so was forced to mature faster than ordinary kids. Being forced into adulthood before his time, he would never allow others to take advantage of him.
In the intermediate academy, his results were the best amongst his peers, where he would place first in combat cla.s.s every year. This was mostly because his physique was better than most of the students who were scrawny and malnourished. As a result, he was feared by many. His potential was limitless and stood to have the brightest of futures, although he came from a poor background.
“You are right. The battle suit you’re wearing today doesn’t live up to this hovercar. Quick! Quick! Quick! Allow me to drive!”
Zhou Hao could not wait for Qin Feng to move to the pa.s.senger seat. He could finally fulfill his long-awaited dream of driving this revered hovercar.
Surprisingly, Qin Feng was not annoyed by his friend’s irritating antics. Instead, he quickly moved to the next seat and placed his backpack on his thighs.
Eek!
Eek!
Xiaobai squirmed around in the backpack until it found a comfortable spot to stay still. Qin Feng tapped his backpack lightly, reminding Xiaobai not to reveal itself to others. The car was then switched to hover mode. There was still some time left before the reunion, so the overjoyed Zhou Hao flew the hovercar across two streets before finally landing the car on the road.
“I can’t wait to see the looks on their faces when they see me driving in!” said Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao was really worried about the car’s energy consumption. He had heard horror stories that a single drive would typically cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. It was true that the car was perfect, but it simply required too much money to keep it running. So after having great fun with the car, he proudly flew it in the direction of the Zhungyuan Hotel.
In actual fact, the hotel was not that big. It was just perfect for a reunion party like that. At most, everyone would only need to pay 100 yuan. Back when he was still living in the orphanage, it took three days of back-breaking labor to earn 100 yuan. That explained why Chen Ming had mocked Qin Feng while they were talking on the phone.
The moment Qin Feng and Zhou Hao got down from the car, a girl called out for them.
“Did I see that right? Zhou Hao, is that your car?”
The girl was reasonably pretty; she looked somewhat familiar, but Qin Feng had forgotten her name. After all, he had left Chengyang colony for many years now. Surely, he would not remember any of them unless they kept in touch with him.
“Of course not. It’s…”
Zhou Hao wanted to tell her that the hovercar belonged to Qin Feng, but instead, Qin Feng signaled him with his eyes to stop him from telling the truth. Immediately, he changed his story.
“It belongs to my friend! Good, right?”
“Your friend must be really powerful and rich! You must both share a strong relations.h.i.+p since he is willing to lend you such an expensive car!” said the girl who was visibly shocked.
Knowing a friend of such stature usually provided useful aid when in hard times. The girl would surely faint if she knew the friend Zhou Hao mentioned was actually Qin Feng. After exiting the car, the three of them walked into the hotel. Most of their old cla.s.smates were present.
