Chapter 29 (2/2)

Qin Feng chatted with Lin Derong for a few minutes, mostly catching up about old friends and sharing a few laughs before hanging up the call.

…

A few hours later…

Splash!

Qin Feng stood up from the bathtub, a silhouette appearing on the foggy mirror. In only half a month, Qin Feng had managed to transform his scrawny figure to a toned, muscular body. He could feel that his bones had grown a bit as well. He was now 1.75 meters tall.

The bath was satisfying, cleaning away the dirt and a lump sum of anxiety. He put on his bathrobe and started to shower Xiaobai without complaining. Xiaobai liked to shower a lot, loving to mess with the froth and soap bubbles. Qin Feng realized that without Xiaobai’s help, he would never have gotten this far. He owed the creature a hell lot and felt it necessary to treat it the best he could.

3After the few days of nonstop killing, Qin Feng was exhausted. He fell into a deep sleep the moment his skin touched the sheets. As for Xiaobai, it was wide awake. After seeing that Qin Feng was fast asleep, it then summoned a fist-sized energy core in front of it. It was the energy core of the giant rat king.

Chomp!

Chomp!

Xiao Bai started to devour the energy core, chomping down on the large sphere. Although the core was almost as large as itself, it managed to swallow it within seconds. Nothing happened. There was no transformation taking place. Seeing nothing that piqued its interest, it got bored and sleepy and dozed off as well.

….

On the second day, Qin Feng put on a white t-shirt and jeans and headed to the orphanage. Seeing Xiaobai still soundly sleeping, Qin Feng gently put it in his backpack. Not wanting to leave it in the hotel alone, he was afraid of the prospect of a kidnap.

1The front yard of the orphanage was devoid of children playing as he entered its gates. Instead, the strong aroma of something cooking wafted in the wind. It turned out the kids were waiting at the dining hall to have a good meal. Kids were always hungry, and these were no exception. They were practically drooling at their seats.

“Qin Feng, ahh! You are here! Come taste this and tell me how good it is!”

Lin Derong got up and dragged Qin Feng over. At another corner, a large number of teenagers were helping out with the dried meat processing. The fragrance of salt, spices, and meat were simply irresistible.

“This. Tastes. Wonderful!”

“Qin Feng, you can distribute it to the kids!”

Lin Derong passed the dried meat to Qin Feng and rang the bell. With a mad rush, all the children started to line up in front of him.

“This is your big brother, Qin Feng. He is here today, bearing gifts! Remember to make him your role model! Work harder. Be more diligent, and you can become a hero like him! Understood?”

“Understood!”

The kids replied at the top of their voices together. As for the teenagers who had seen this for a long time, the speech clearly did little effect. Nonetheless, they still admired him a lot. They too, secretly wished that they could become like him someday. After distributing the food, Qin Feng finally helped himself to the chow. With full and happy bellies, He took the teenagers for a training lesson.

Morning soon gave way to noon.

2“Director, you’re heading to the plantation this afternoon, right?” asked Qin Feng.

Qin Feng remembered that Lin Derong would visit the plantation to get supply donations for his orphanage on the same day every month. After all, the orphanage was under the care of the Chengbei Colony’s government. Though the food that was given to him was almost always barely enough, it did at least lessen the burden for him.

“Yes!”

“Let me go with you then!”

“Great.”

At that moment, Lin Derong came to the realization that Qin Feng should spend more time training himself instead of wasting his time at the orphanage. Besides, with all things considered, Qin Feng had done enough for the orphanage.
