Chapter 128: Rain (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader PureRedApple) (Third Update)

At this moment, Su Zhentian reached out and patted Su Ming heavily on the shoulder, saying to him,

“Grandson, your grandpa absolutely supports you. When you save enough money to come home and order a mech, the family will give it to you at a cost price of 150 million federal currency, and prioritize your order!”

Su Ming was also stunned, not expecting such an unexpected gain, but he did not refuse Su Zhentian, instead nodding and replying,

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

“We’re all family, what’s there to thank? Come on, let’s have a few more drinks with Grandpa.”

Su Zhentian led Su Ming out.

Soon after, Su Ming and Su Zhentian arrived at the restaurant.

Wine was already set on the table, and dishes began to be served one by one.

Su Zhentian opened a bottle of pure grain distilled liquor, poured two full large glasses directly, handed one to Su Ming, and said,

“Come!”

“Alright.”

Su Ming took it without declining.

The two clinked glasses and took a big gulp, the spicy sensation rushing straight to their heads.

After drinking, Su Zhentian said to Su Ming with great emotion,

“Su Ming, you are much stronger than that foolish son of mine. That kid has been away from home for so long and hasn’t come back to see me.”

Hearing Su Zhentian’s words, Su Ming secretly praised, “The old man is good, he’s still thinking about Su Yuan.” So he spoke up and said,

“Grandpa, actually, Father misses you very much too. But there are simply too many things at the company, and he really can’t spare the time.”

“Cut it out, you don’t need to speak well of him. That guy is my son; I know him inside and out.”

Su Zhentian replied grumpily.

“Haha.”

Su Ming gave an awkward laugh.

“Alright, let’s not talk about that foolish son of mine anymore. Come on, bottoms up!”

Su Zhentian directly drained the wine in his glass.

Su Ming’s eyes immediately widened in surprise, but he could only brace himself and drink.

The next day, ten in the morning.

Su Ming finished washing up and walked out of his room, then hurried downstairs towards the main gate. He planned to visit Teacher Jiang Yu at Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industries Group.

However, because he drank too much with the old man last night, he overslept.

At this time, the vehicles that had been waiting at the main gate of the Su Family had already driven away one after another.

When Su Ming arrived at the main gate, there was only one waiting car left. In front of this car stood a sharp-looking young man wearing black leather shoes and a white shirt.

Su Ming walked forward and said,

“Please take me to Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industries Group.”

The driver, Zhu Ran, glanced at Su Ming and then refused with a smile.

“I’m sorry, this car is reserved for Second Young Master Su Bin; he needs to go back to school today.”

Su Ming frowned slightly. All the Su Family’s cars, except for the old man’s, were public cars, and usually, whoever needed one would just use it directly.

This guy clearly didn’t want him to use it and wanted to curry favor with Su Bin.

However, Su Ming didn’t take it to heart, only asking,

“Are there any other cars?”

“Sorry, there are none left. The old man has a big business deal to discuss today, and the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master have all gone with him. All the vehicles are being used. Little Young Master, you’ll have to figure something out yourself.”

Zhu Ran said with a smile.

After hearing Zhu Ran’s words, Su Ming gave up on taking the family car, took out his phone to check the location of Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industries Group, and looked up the fastest and most economical way to get there.

He wanted to visit his teacher before noon so he could return to school in the afternoon.

Soon, Su Ming found that transferring to the rail train was the fastest way. There was a rail station not far from here, so he immediately walked towards it.

Zhu Ran watched Su Ming’s departing back, a hint of a mocking smile on his face.

Not long after.

On the high-speed rail train, Su Ming stood in the aisle, holding a strap with his right hand.

The surroundings were crowded with passengers.

Su Ming dared not move carelessly, fearing he might bump into someone.

To be honest, it was his first time riding such a crowded rail car; the number of people getting on and off at each station was incredibly exaggerated.

“Sigh.”

Su Ming sighed softly.

Just then, Su Ming suddenly felt as if someone was looking at him, and he immediately turned his head to look around.

However, among the many passengers, he only saw a girl in a sky-blue lace dress with an exquisite floral hair ornament in her white hair, her face turned to the side, and he didn’t see any other special person.

He immediately turned back and thought to himself,

“An illusion?”

A moment later, Su Ming walked out of the Haichao Rail Station.

He picked up his phone to check the map. Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industries Group was in a relatively remote location, still 1.3 kilometers away from Haichao Rail Station.

Su Ming then walked towards the company, but he hadn’t gone far when he saw a very high-end gift shop open by the side of the street.

Su Ming stopped, looked at the gift shop, thought for a few seconds, and then walked towards it.

Ding-a-ling~

When Su Ming pushed open the shop door, the wind chimes at the entrance made a crisp, very pleasant sound.

“Welcome, sir, how may I help you? I am the owner of this shop.”

A stylishly dressed middle-aged man with moussed hair walked over with a smile and asked.

“Do you have high-end cigarettes here? I want natural ones, not synthetic.”

Su Ming asked.

He remembered that Teacher Jiang Yu had a smoking habit, but he didn’t usually smoke in front of others.

It wouldn’t be appropriate to visit him empty-handed for the first time, so buying him a gift was just right.

“Sir, you are clearly an expert. We sell cigarettes made from pure natural tobacco here, and we have several types. However, the prices are also very expensive. If you are interested, I can show you.”

The boss did not try to deceive Su Ming.

“Good!”

Su Ming nodded calmly in response.

The boss led Su Ming to a specially made glass wall in the shop. At a glance, the entire glass display cabinet was filled with various styles of cigarette packs.

The prices were extremely expensive; the cheapest was marked at 100,000 federal currency, while the most expensive was marked at 1,000,000.

Su Ming quickly scanned them and pointed directly at a cigarette priced at 500,000 in the middle, saying,

“This one. Pack it in a simple, low-key box.”

“I understand. Please pay here.”

The boss said with a smile.

Soon after, Su Ming walked out of the gift shop holding a paper-packaged box.

He walked towards Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industries Group.

Just as he had walked several hundred meters, the entire Starlight City suddenly rang with a steady warning sound.

Immediately after, within Starlight City, the transparent film on the surface of the large and small Dorag Spheres disappeared, and white structural lines became very conspicuous.

Su Ming was also slightly startled by this sudden change.

At this moment, a sweet broadcast voice sounded.

“Dear citizens, it is now 11:00 AM on July 10th, 4619 of the old era. Starlight City will close all Dorag Sphere barriers and activate the rain system to increase humidity. This rainfall will last for 120 minutes.”

Following the broadcast announcement, the huge transparent umbrella at the top of Starlight City activated its rain device.

Drizzle fell from the sky.
