Chapter 28: Gift (Part 1/2)
Editor: Nora
There was a significantly large amount of people enlisting in the military this year, perhaps because of the amendment to the Enlistment Law. Qin Fen's group was in line for half a day before it was time for his physical examination.
He stood in the scanner for the physical examination, and the scan completed quickly, the series of excellent data sent before the medical examiner's eyes.
The medical looked at the transmitted data and was a bit surprised. The body data spoke of a quality that could only be from outstanding soldiers who had underwent military training. How did this kid train his body to be like this? Could it be that he came from a military family?
The examiner gave his gold glasses on the bridge of his nose a gentle push and rejected this conjecture. The car Qin Fen arrived in was far too gorgeous. Even this medical examiner within the room had heard of the news from other people's mouths. He knew just how Qin Fen arrived.
"Report to the Military Entrance Processing Station tomorrow morning," the medical examiner stamped the top of Qin Fen's forms with a bright word—QUALIFIED.
Qin Fen walked out of the medical examination room and was greeted by Song Jia waving her arm from within her car.
"Qiangster and the Ice Man just called. They want to see you off. Let's head over now," Song Jia said as Qin Fen got into the car. She pulled the control stick, and the sports car immediately lifted off, disappearing from everyone else's view.
In the medical examination room.
"Old Zhang, you should first have a cup of tea. Wait till I finish this work, and we can find a proper place to go drinking! Ever since you got injured and retired, us bros haven't gotten together for a good drink," after turning around and greeting the man who had just walked in, the medical examiner continued his examination work.
The one called Old Zhang was none other than Manager Zhang, the manager of the construction site who Qin Fen had sent to the hospital.
He had just recovered after lying in the hospital for half a month when he heard that his old comrade was in charge of this year's medical examination work. He rushed over in great spirits.
"Don't mind me. It looks like this year's enlisted is full of garbage. There's no decent material among them," Manager Zhang had the tone of a veteran, as he picked up a stack of medical reports and gave a look."
"I'm not sure about the other examination sites, but we really have a good one here," the medical examiner's memory of Qin Fen's statistics ran deep. His numbers were all A's. This was the first time he encountered such a situation, "It seems like his name is Qin Fen...."
"Qin Fen?" Manager Zhang's expression changed, but quickly returned to normal as he looked at the information within his hands.
"It really is him~" Manager Zhang fumed as he stared at Qin Fen's information.
The medical examiner was a bit surprised. It seemed that there was some bad blood between the two, "What's wrong? You know him?"
"This bro has never asked for anything. Do me a favor this one time," Manager Zhang pulled out Qin Fen's information with a sneer.
"Out with it, man. There's no such thing as asking between us." The medical examiner laughed, "I would have died on the battlefield long ago if it weren't for you."
"Take proper 'care' of this kid for me." Manager Zhang's face was full of darkness, "You also have some say with the assignment of new recruits, right? Tundras, plateaus, deserts.... These places need to be filled with some new recruits, right?"
"They sure do~" The medical examiner took the forms pertaining to Qin Fen from Manager Zhang's hands. placing it alone in a separate folder.
In the VIP room of a Hilton Hotel.
Qin Fen's heart ached a bit as he pushed opened the door to the room. Just how much money was spent to book this room!? Lin Liqiang, this spend thrift, what's he doing entertaining Qin Fen like this? It would have been better to simply send the money directly to Qin Fen and everyone just eats McDonald's and call it a day.
"Old Qin, why are you so late, man?" Lin Liqiang rapped his fingers against the table, "Were you taken advantage of by a pretty medical examiner?"
In the time they were apart, Lin Liqiang kick-ass verbal ability showed zero signs of regressing.
"Song Jia was the one who drove," Qin Fen immediately told him why they were late, shifting the conversation to the driver.
"What's up? Qiangster? Are you displeased with my driving speed?" Song Jia had pulled up a chair and sat down. She teasingly looked at her childhood friend, "How about we go for a ride in my car in a bit?"
"No need." Lin Liqiang immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm the type of person who really cherishes his life. There are thousands of girls on the five major planets awaiting my love, you know. If I have to die, I should die beautifully. A traffic accident as a way to go isn't suited for me."
"You have no goddamn guts," Song Jia rolled her eyes at Lin Liqiang, drinking her water, minding to herself.
"You really weren't teased by a little examiner sister?" Lin Liqiang didn't forget the topic just now.
"It's all done using electronic scans now." Qin Fen thought for a moment before adding, "With clothes on."
"Wow!" Lin Liqiang sighed, "I even planned to show off my sexy body in front of the little sisters when it's my turn to enlist and go through the medical examination. It seems like I no longer have the chance."
During their chatter, dishes quickly filled the empty table. In face of such speedy service, Qin Fen couldn't help but gasp in admiration. They truly got what they paid for. They didn't even need to wait to be served food.
"Let's not get to eating just yet," Lin Liqiang laughed as he took out a wooden box the size of his fist. With a light flick of his fingers, the box made a beautiful arc through the air to land within Qin Fen's hands.
"You're going to serve in the military. Only the devil knows whether or not you'll be unlucky enough to be dispatched on suppression missions or the like." Lin Liqiang pointed at the box in Qin Fen's hands, "There aren't many good things I can give you as a bro, just this beautiful little thing I made myself. Open it and take a look...."
Enzo Rota stood to the side, lacking facial expressions as usual, but when the box opened up, a hint of shock flashed quickly in his eyes. It was a biochemical beast egg!
Biochemical beasts were a sort of auxiliary military product. They were created from advanced technology, after humanity accessed the Atlantis civilization. Through revelations and development, all sorts of artificial creatures with different forms and functions were created.
These were products created for the sake of allowing humans to adapt to the various cruel environments of different planets. They normally existed in a form similar to tattoos, adhered upon the host's body. They absorbed the host's energy to survive, and they could turn into concrete objects during battle. Some transformational abilities include armor or even weapons, aiding the host in battle. Their potential was so great that they could create a chance for a low star warrior to beat a high star warrior.
Currently, the research and development of biochemical beasts in the Federation still remained in the initial stages. The abilities that could be manufactured and produced was extremely limited, so biochemical beasts weren't really wide spread. Aside from a portion of special forces, only officers at a certain rank could possess them in the military. Aside from that, only those who truly had money could buy them. For the common middle class to buy one, it would probably cost them their entire family fortune just for the chance.
Based on Qin Fen's financial resources, wanting to buy a biochemical beast was absolutely a pipe dream. Only in dreams could such a situation be possible.
Right now he was looking at a biochemical beast in his hands, and no matter how strong Qin Fen was emotionally, he couldn't help but be stunned in this moment.
"Hehe...." Lin Liqiang smiled as he scratched his head, "To be honest, I don't quite trust the ones they sell in stores. So, I simply made one myself. There are many new functions in it, man. Especially the growth function...."
"Growth?" Song Jia was shocked once more, "I heard that this function is still under development?"
