Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 780: Section 775 - Little Sister’s Boyfriend
```
After waiting for over an hour and nearly on time for the original dinner plan, Elder Brother Chen and his wife Sima Xin, along with their nephew Baby, finally arrived.
Perhaps it was because he had just had an IV, Baby's spirit wasn't great, and he seemed somewhat listless, with a cooling patch stuck to his head.
Baby's frequent fevers post-weaning are commonplace, with over four hundred types of bacteria and viruses that can cause a fever. Each fever could be seen as gaining immunity, and if one's constitution is robust enough, symptoms might not even manifest.
With Xiao Jiu's "Light Healing Technique," metabolism sped up dramatically, and the effect was immediate—Baby's temperature dropped visibly fast, and soon enough, he was lively and clamoring again.
Chen Fei brought back some Magical Beast Meat Sausage, cut off a few sections, washed them, and threw them directly into the rice cooker. The steam-fused rice and meat aroma was irresistible, and once sliced and served, it indeed had a unique flavor.
Today's dinner was of special significance, with Liu Mingquan carefully dealing with his girlfriend's parents, as well as two brothers and a sister-in-law.
"Ahh ahh ahh!~ Aah?"
Baby was also about to join the three-hall trial by fire—a complete gathering of the Chen Family.
After all, the outcome wasn't just about two people, but the merging of two families.
A few questions later, Liu Mingquan's background was thoroughly understood. He is a kid from the planting district of the neighboring province, with one younger brother and two younger sisters—four siblings in total, all attending school. His parents are agricultural machinery technicians.
Now, with industrialized agriculture, people live in towns and there's no distinction between agricultural and non-agricultural hukou—a household like his can hardly be considered genuine rural folks.
As the eldest son, Liu Mingquan studied industrial design, hoping to join a large-scale agricultural machinery factory in the future as a technician, while also providing some technical support to the agricultural company where his parents work.
The agricultural company has always had subsidy policies for the education of employees' children, so although Liu Mingquan has many siblings, the burden hasn't been too heavy.
"Hi hi!~"
After the exhausting dinner, Chen Meng didn't go pester her boyfriend but instead nudged Chen Xiao'er on the couch with her elbow.
"Hi you..."
Feeling guilty, Chen Fei glanced towards the kitchen.
Being born from the same mother, if he dared to blabber, Mother Chen would immediately hit him with a heavy ladle on the head.
Duang^^^^^^ Southern Evening Bell!
Swallowing his words under his sister's gaze, Chen Meng prodded with ill intent, "I think you have something nasty to say."
This wretched girl is indeed good at bringing up the most inconvenient topics.
"Scram!~"
Hitting is affection, scolding is love, kicking is how you deal with a sister—such is the bond of love within a family.
After the joking, Chen Meng nudged her brother again.
"What?"
Chen Fei was annoyed, ready to relocate or drag Liu Mingquan in as a shield.
With an air of self-satisfaction, Chen Meng said, "Xiao Liu is in industrial design, and you are a Metal Ability User. Couldn't he help you? I can help you too, you know!"
Xiao Liu would handle the design, Brother would take care of the evolution, and she would slap a system on top—perfect!
"Help my ass! It's all about just copying it directly, not a single penny needed to be spent."
Chen Fei instantly got his Sister Yu Chun's pure intentions. He'd always freeloaded in the forest anyway, so was there really a need to single out a small Liu tree for vigorous shaking?
"Huh? Second Brother, you... you... have you always done it this way?"
Chen Meng was stunned, realizing he was that kind of person, Second Brother!
Wouldn't you get killed doing such things?
Of course, you'd get killed.
But if you don't get killed, it's probably a different story altogether.
As for his girlfriend's company, Northern Weapons Industry Group, they initially resisted, but now they're begging for more—"enough, enough... no more!"
His girlfriend's father was almost at the point of wanting to break Chen Xiao'er's legs.
"Emmmm..."
Chen Fei offered no explanation, but Little Sister Chen could read the answer on her brother's face.
This damned brother!
He should be hung upside down from the balcony.
Just then, Father Chen Haishang, who was playing chess with Liu Mingquan, looked up and asked, "Xiao'er, when are you bringing Shen Fei home?"
The little daughter had brought her boyfriend home, yet the second son had never brought his girlfriend over.
"Shen Fei is her father's secretary, and she's very busy every day. Let's wait until the New Year or a long holiday to discuss it then!"
Both Chen Fei and Shen Fei had graduated from Ivory Tower, and neither had the concept of summer or winter vacations anymore.
Especially since Shen Fei joined the local Northern Weapons Industry Group, being far from Chen Fei, it was difficult to find the time and opportunity to be together.
Previous meetings had also been coincidental.
"I've met Sister Shen Fei already!"
Chen Meng suddenly raised her hand, and upon seeing the surprised looks from Chen Fei and Father Chen, she quickly explained, "Before the holiday, Sister Shen Fei visited me at our school."
"How come you never mentioned it?"
Father Chen Haishang frowned.
"Hehehe! I forgot!"
Little Sister Chen stuck out her tongue, looking embarrassed.
"You dummy!"
Chen Fei was displeased and gave his silly sister a noggin' knocker, unaware of this event until Chen Meng brought it up.
The headquarters of Northern Weapons Group and the Northern Industrial University where his sister studied were both in the same province, with a maximum of two hours of ground travel between them, so Shen Fei's taking time to visit Chen Meng was not surprising.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
```
Chen Meng held her head in her hands, looking aggrieved, weak, and pitiable.
She drew circles in her heart, cursing her brother to be shot dead for ten minutes.
"Jiu!~"
Seizing the opportunity to escape back onto Chen Fei's shoulder, Xiao Jiu turned around and let out a fierce, milk-like chirp, finally venting her spleen.
That night, Chen Meng's boyfriend Liu Mingquan didn't stay over at the house but went to a nearby hotel instead. The next morning, he came to the Chen Family again, and Father Chen and Mother Chen had also prepared breakfast for him.
After breakfast, Chen Meng went grocery shopping with her mother, while Liu Mingquan stayed at the Chen Family to pass the time playing chess with Father Chen. He saw Chen Fei shaking an A3 paper, examining it up and down.
He asked curiously, "What's this?"
"A painting puzzle!"
Chen Fei had been pondering over this painting puzzle for some time now, almost daily examining it from every angle and letting his imagination fly in an attempt to find clues.
"A painting puzzle?"
Liu Mingquan's gaze landed on the A3 paper, which featured a complex pattern made of various colored dots, lines, and geometric shapes. After looking at it for a while, he ventured, "Is the network address on there the key to the puzzle?"
"Hmm? Network address?"
Chen Fei was puzzled, wondering where the network address came from.
He looked at his sister's boyfriend with confusion.
Liu Mingquan reached out and traced something on the painting puzzle.
"Right here! It's right here!"
"There's nothing there!"
Chen Fei looked again, even more baffled.
If the other party could see the network address, why couldn't he?
Could it be that this young man was also an ability user with a very special skill that allowed him to see things invisible to others?
"Ah?~~ Ah! I got it!" freeweɓnøvel.com
Liu Mingquan was stunned for a moment before realizing, saying, "My eyes have a fourth type of cone cell, which lets me distinguish more colors."
"Tetrachromatic vision, huh?"
Chen Fei suddenly understood.
One of his psychic skills also enabled him to activate this extraordinary vision. Although the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" was connected to Chen Fei's optic nerve and could add augmented reality visual effects, it couldn't actively activate the "Basic Optical Observer (Level 8)" within the "Full Spectrum Imaging" module that would allow the identification of additional colors,
So for many days, he'd missed this secret.
Those with a fourth type of cone cell have a color discrimination ability that is more than a hundred times superior to that of normal people with only three types of cone cells; not a psychic power, yet surpassing it.
In a certain sense, when comparing trichromatic vision to tetrachromatic vision, the former is akin to color blindness, no wonder Chen Fei couldn't discover the abnormal color composition hidden in the painting puzzle with his natural trichromatic vision.
"Full Spectrum Imaging" activated!
Chen Fei blinked, and the pattern on the A3 paper immediately changed, unveiling something more.
Indeed, as his sister's boyfriend said, amidst the complex dots, lines, and geometric shapes, there was a series of special network addresses hidden.
The artificial intelligence AI "Adam," which was connected to Chen Fei's optic nerve, almost simultaneously received this information and immediately opened the network address.
It was a very simple webpage, with coding so basic it couldn't be more basic, featuring only a download link in the middle.
The entire download process was completed almost instantly, and Chen Fei received a plain text file.
Huh? That's it?! The simplicity couldn't be more straightforward, even a primary school student could create such a webpage; there was no technical content to speak of.
The server hosting the network address was located on Blue Star.
The few KB-sized plain text file opened instantly, with ANSI encoding format. It marked out the time, coordinates, altitude, and notes, clearly indicating the "Seed Nest" locations on both Cangqiong Star and Blue Star.
This was the reward the parasitic species "Taga" had given Chen Fei before its death, a straightforward and unencrypted message, with no concern about being accidentally obtained by irrelevant people.
Now that "Taga" was dead, its exposure as an outlier was no longer of importance.
"Brother Chen?"
Noticing Chen Fei was "spacing out," Liu Mingquan called out to him, then said, "The network address on there is..."
"No, I've already got it!"
Chen Fei cut him off mid-sentence.
With the text file downloaded, the network address hidden in the painting puzzle had served its purpose.
"'Adam,' send the network address and the text file to Lin Zio and Mr. Randon, and also... Miyoshi Monk."
Liu Mingquan saw his future brother-in-law muttering something incomprehensible and was utterly baffled by it.
Adam: Recipients: Crown Prince Lin Zio of the Slan Dynasty, Louis Landon, CEO of Louis Industrial Company, and Miyoshi Xuesen of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, sending complete!
Liu Mingquan asked, puzzled, "Brother Chen, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing! I'm talking to my artificial intelligence AI."
The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" wasn't in Chen Fei's pocket but inside his head.
"Oh!"
Liu Mingquan understood.
Boom!~
A muffled thunder sounded outside.
"Thunder in the middle of winter?"
Father Chen looked out the window.
