HPDBC Chapter 060 Terra, the City of the Future!
Chapter 060 Terra, the City of the Future!
The next morning, Lin Qiye told Bai Zhenyun about his plan.
"Going straight to Terra City? Not going back to Haicheng?" Bai Zhenyun was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then a hint of undisguised disappointment appeared on his face.
He said somewhat awkwardly, "Qi Ye, your father-in-law is planning to throw a big banquet to celebrate your return! He's ready to invite all our relatives and friends to tell everyone that he, Bai Zhenfeng, has a precious son-in-law who got into Galaxy Martial Arts University!"
Before Lin Qiye could speak, Bai Muxi spoke up directly, her tone gentle but her attitude resolute.
"Uncle, there's no need to go back. Qi Ye just finished his exams and is exhausted, so let him rest. That kind of occasion is too noisy, and he doesn't like it."
She didn't want to put Lin Qiye in a difficult position.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenyun immediately understood what his niece meant.
He nodded and stopped insisting.
Now, the opinions of Lin Qiye and his wife are the most important.
Since they don't want to go back, then they shouldn't go back.
"That's good, that's good," Bai Zhenyun said with a smile. "It's good that young people have their own ideas. So when do you plan to leave? We'll see you off."
"Dad, how about... we go to Terra together?" Bai Mujie's eyes lit up, his face full of anticipation. "It's been so long since we've been to Terra! We can treat it as a vacation!"
Bai Zhenyun pondered for a moment and thought the suggestion was good.
This is not only a farewell, but also a great opportunity to further strengthen the relationship.
"That's a good idea!" He slapped his thigh and made a decision immediately. "Then we'll go together and get you settled into school! I'll contact your dad right away so we can go together!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Muxi frowned slightly. Just as she was about to refuse again, Lin Qiye gently pulled her hand.
……
Inside a luxury suite at an international hotel.
Yan Feilong's personal terminal on his wrist beeped.
The screen lit up, revealing the same imposing face of his father, Yan Xingwu.
"Your uncle received news that Lin Qiye has enrolled at Galaxy Martial Arts University." Yan Xingwu's tone was flat, revealing no emotion.
Upon hearing this news, Yan Feilong's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Calm down." Yan Xingwu stared at him coldly, his voice carrying a hint of warning. "Don't do anything that harms your own interests or the family's interests! I can understand youthful impetuosity, but there needs to be a limit, understand?"
Yan Feilong's chest heaved violently. He forcibly suppressed the surging anger and jealousy in his heart and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "I know, Father, I know what I'm doing."
"Very good." Yan Xingwu nodded in satisfaction, his tone softening slightly. "Think about it yourself, what use is it for someone from the bottom with no resources, no connections, and no foundation to go to Galaxy Martial Arts University?"
After saying that, Yan Xingwu hung up the phone.
The room fell silent again, with only Yan Feilong's heavy breathing remaining.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Although he still harbored resentment, reason told him that his father was right.
Lin Qiye going to Galaxy Martial Arts University is completely different from them going to Galaxy Martial Arts University.
Just as his father said, Lin Qiye went to Galaxy Martial Arts University without resources, connections, or a solid foundation...
That was a terrible mistake!
It's even worse than going to Taurus Martial Arts University!
At least at Jinniu Martial Arts University, given his talent, he will be valued by the school and "taken care of" by his uncle, and will be cultivated as a useful resource.
And Galaxy Martial Arts University?
What place is that?
That is the gathering place of the most outstanding geniuses in the entire galaxy, and even several surrounding galaxies!
What kind of monsters haven't I seen?
Lin Qiye's achievements are so meager that they wouldn't even make a splash.
There, it's not just about talent, but also about family background, connections, and inherited skills...
Lin Qiye had none of them.
Thinking of this, Yan Feilong felt much more at ease.
He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
So what if you, Lin Qiye, go to Galaxy Martial Arts University?
At that time, reality will be incredibly cruel!
You will be mercilessly crushed by countless geniuses there, eventually exhausting all your potential and becoming a mediocre talent at the very bottom!
And I will rise to prominence at Jinniu Martial Arts University, showered with love and attention!
By then, the gap between us will only widen!
A renewed flame of confidence ignited in Yan Feilong's eyes.
He seemed to have already seen the future, the humiliating Lin Qiye, crushed to pieces by the iron fist of reality.
……
In the afternoon, the supersonic levitation high-speed rail station in Tiantai City was bustling with people.
Bai Zhenfeng and Liu Yuqin, a married couple, arrived from Haicheng, travel-worn and exhausted.
"Qiye!" Liu Yuqin greeted him warmly as soon as she arrived, her concern even more tender than that shown to her own son.
Bai Zhenfeng's face was also beaming, his eyes full of admiration and satisfaction: "Qi Ye! Well done! You've brought honor to the Bai family!"
He has already booked VIP tickets to Terra and a hotel in Terra.
"Qi Ye, don't worry, we'll take care of everything when we get to Terra! Just think of it as a pre-trip vacation and relax!" Bai Zhenfeng said generously.
Lin Qiye simply smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
He knew that this was the Bai family trying to curry favor with him.
After all, they were in-laws, so he readily accepted the goodwill.
……
The train traveled smoothly on the maglev track, and the scenery outside the window rushed past, turning into streaks of light.
The VIP cabin is spacious and the seats are comfortable.
Bai Zhenfeng and his wife, along with Bai Zhenyun and his son, were enthusiastically discussing the prosperity of Terra City and the various legends surrounding Galaxy Martial Arts University.
Their conversation always revolved around Lin Qiye.
Their words and actions clearly demonstrated their investment in and attempt to win over a future powerhouse.
Lin Qiye only responded half-heartedly. Most of the time, he turned his head to look at the scenery rushing past the window, his mind already wandering to the capital of that unknown planet.
Bai Muxi nestled quietly beside him, engrossed in reading a book about prenatal nutrition.
For her, it didn't matter where she went, as long as she could be with Lin Qiye.
The ten-hour drive passed quickly in a relaxed atmosphere.
As the train slowly pulled into Terra City's high-speed rail terminal, Lin Qiye saw the "heart" of the planet for the first time through the train window.
If Tian Tai City is magnificent, then Terra City is a miracle.
Skyscrapers pierce the sky, like crystal forests growing on the surface of a planet, refracting a dreamlike brilliance under the sunlight.
In the air, there is a network of suspended lanes that is hundreds of times denser and thousands of times more complex than those in Tiantai City. Countless vehicles, like schools of glowing fish, shuttle endlessly through the city's "blood vessels."
Lin Qiye even saw small private starships streak across the sky above the city, leaving faint energy trails.
This is the real city of the future!
Stepping out of the high-speed rail station, a more prosperous and vibrant atmosphere greets you.
Bai Zhenfeng had already arranged a private car, and the group went directly to the booked hotel—the Star Crown Interstellar Hotel, located in the city center of Terra.
The hotel is located at the top of an 800-plus-story skyscraper, and from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the suites, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the dazzling nightscape of Terra.
"So beautiful..." Bai Muxi couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes sparkling with a mesmerizing light.
Lin Qiye stood beside her and gently pulled her into his arms, equally shocked.
It was here that he truly felt his own insignificance and the vastness of the world.
An unprecedented surge of pride welled up within him.
