"But since this is your heartfelt intention..."

Su Liang’s tone shifted as he extended his hand again, only to see Qin Shou’s face filled with regret.

"Ah, Mr. Su truly is a role model in the field of education. This is my fault. I shouldn’t have tried to bribe you with this thing. I’m sorry."

Retracting the Iron Blood Armor, Qin Shou bowed deeply, his face full of genuine remorse.

Su Liang: "..."

He awkwardly turned his back, though his face grew darker, but no one could notice.

"Ahem, well, Qin Shou, recognizing one’s mistakes and correcting them is very good. Very good indeed. Don’t do this again next time..."

Su Liang felt somewhat disappointed, then asked again, "Qin Shou, that Golden Light that just shone inside the spaceship..."

Qin Shou straightened up, a troubled expression on his face. "Mr. Su, the principal said that this thing shouldn’t be known by too many people, so... you get it."

"The principal?"

Su Liang’s heart skipped a beat; does this thing really have a connection to the principal?

Could it be that this kid is the chosen one?

So that’s how it is.

Su Liang’s dark face showed a hint of a smile, and his attitude toward Qin Shou shifted slightly.

"Alright, since it’s the principal’s instruction, then Qin Shou, you don’t need to explain."

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Su," Qin Shou said, expressing his gratitude.

Little did Su Liang know, the principal Qin Shou spoke of and the one Su Liang imagined were completely different people.

...

Ten days later, the spaceship passed through Earth’s atmosphere and returned safely to the Beast Cultivation Main City.

As soon as they got back to Earth, Su Liang rushed to the Mechanical Main City, borrowed a third-level space mecha infused with Cosmic Creature Metal, grabbed a few of his close friends, and headed back into space to seek revenge on the Alien Queen.

Meanwhile, Qin Shou went to the Beast Cultivation Main City’s office to collect his advancement rewards – twenty pounds of Cosmic Meteorite Gold.

Though it was a bit meager, it was better than nothing.

Since the New Year was approaching, the Beast Cultivation Main City didn’t have many students around.

The Four Little Saints and others had already left one by one, so Qin Shou naturally wouldn’t spend this time training in the Energy Pool.

Parting ways with Leng Wanbai, Qin Shou used the Transmission Array to return to the West City.

West City Center Villa.

"Dad, Mom, I’m back!"

Qin Shou shouted as he opened the door, prompting his parents to burst with joy.

"Oh, our boy’s back! Why didn’t you tell us in advance? I haven’t even bought groceries..."

"Good to have you back, son. Hey, I heard you took a trip to Mars. Tell me, are there Mars people on Mars?"

"Honey, are you nuts? There’s no such thing as Mars people. Watching too much TV has made you dumb..."

"But honey, didn’t they report on TV that the Federation seemed to have set up some Mars Intelligence Bureau on Mars? It’s quite interesting..."

"That’s a TV show, you look like an absolute fool..."

"I..."

The couple argued as usual, completely ignoring Qin Shou.

Qin Shou sighed helplessly.

Come on, can you give me some sense of presence?

Am I adopted?

I just want to feel familial love too!

...

Night fell.

In his room, Qin Shou applied the enhanced Gold Devouring Potion and finally felt his body undergoing rapid changes.

In three more months, he’d be able to advance to Vajra Six Stars!

In the Vajra Realm, bottlenecks simply don’t exist.

"Beep beep..."

Just then, his communicator flashed. When Qin Shou clicked to check, it was a group of New Year blessings sent by the Four Little Saints and others.

"Tsk, these ungrateful guys. This New Year’s blessing is obviously a group message."

Qin Shou turned off the communicator. Group messages won’t get a reply from me.

"Son, come out and set off fireworks!" Hua Ping called him from the courtyard.

"Coming!"

Qin Shou replied and dashed out the window.

West City doesn’t have powerful monsters nearby, so it’s one of the few cities within the Federation where people can set off fireworks during New Year.

The monsters lured by the fireworks wouldn’t even have the chance to approach West City before being blown into scraps by the West City Defense Team.

"Whizz~ Boom!"

The West City night sky blossomed with dazzling and colorful flares as the entire city glittered with festive lights, immersed in hope for the new year.

In the past year, West City had endured the Skeleton Giant Lizard uprising and the Manda Dragon Beast siege, narrowly avoiding a catastrophic disaster.

But it had persevered, and afterward, it won the development rights to Dragon Island. The abundant training resources boosted West City’s overall strength several times over.

Reflecting on these events, Qin Shou looked at the fireworks bursting in the sky and took a deep breath.

"Dad, Mom, what are your New Year wishes?" he asked softly.

Nearby, his parents leaned together watching the fireworks, their faces radiating happiness, completely ignoring Qin Shou.

Qin Shou: "..."

Alright, I’m just an afterthought.

Qin Shou held his forehead in frustration.

"Honey, what’s your New Year wish?" Hua Ping asked with a smile.

Qin Guofang smiled faintly, the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes deepening.

"My wish, huh... Haha, world peace!"

"Whizz~ Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another series of fireworks burst into the sky.

...

Meanwhile, beneath West City.

"Buzz..."

Underground defense layers cracked as the Space Gate manifested without warning, accompanied by eerie beastly roars from within.

"Nian..."

"Nian..."

One by one, tiger- and lion-like monsters emerged from the Space Gate, digging their way toward the surface.

These monsters had large heads and small bodies, a single horn on their foreheads, sharp teeth, bodies stretching over a dozen meters, copper bell-like eyes radiating malevolence, and emitted eerie growls.

If Qin Shou were present, he would be utterly shocked.

Nian Beasts!

"Crunch crunch..."

As large clusters of Nian Beasts excavated a tunnel, the first Nian Beast broke through the concrete ground of the street, the deafening blast of fireworks reaching its ears.

"Nian~"

The Nian Beast’s copper bell eyes were filled with terror. Panicked, it retreated through the tunnel, fleeing back into the Space Gate in a rush.

...

Fireworks continued for several hours before West City gradually returned to tranquility.

"Beep beep..."

His communicator flashed again, and Qin Shou answered the video call.

"Happy New Year, Principal!" Qin Shou waved with a cheerful smile.

Yu Shusheng rubbed his temples. "Not sure how long this ’happy’ will last..."
