Sky-cracking Rider

During work hours, Chen Haiqing, the chairman of National Defense Star Aerospace Company, specifically set aside some time for his nephew.

It wasn't just out of consideration for family ties, but also because among the younger generation of the Chen Family, Chen Fei was undoubtedly the most outstanding. After all, having the aptitude of an Ability User is exceptionally rare, and not only is he a supernatural power user, but he also possesses a powerful psi skill that can form a one-man army. Although his own combat power isn't much, when boosted by external forces, his overall combat strength multiplies exponentially. Even the high-level sovereignty can't ignore him.

"Uncle, this is my girlfriend, Shen Fei. Her father is one of the vice presidents of the Northern Weapons Industry Group."

After entering the chairman's office of National Defense Star Aerospace Company, Chen Fei proactively introduced Shen Fei to his uncle.

"Yes, yes, I've heard, she's a great girl. Xiao Fei, you're quite lucky! Please have a seat!"

After taking a good look at Shen Fei, Chen Haiqing invited both of them to sit in the guest area of the office.

After sitting down, Chen Fei took out the gift his father had prepared for his uncle from his "Spatial Branding," which consisted of local specialties like tea leaves and pastries.

"Uncle, these are some local specialties from our place."

"You just coming is enough, no need to bring anything."

Chen Haiqing said with a smile, indicating to his assistant to accept the items.

In social exchanges, whether or not to send and receive gifts doesn't depend on their value, the attitude is most important.

"Uncle, Shen Fei and I came here mainly for two things. The first was to introduce Shen Fei to you, and the second concerns National Defense Star's technology pool."

Chen Fei's intentions weren't hard to guess; Chen Haiqing knew from the start. Only after listening seriously did he begin to speak: "Don't worry about the concerns of the Northern Weapons Industry Group. I'll vouch for you. Xiao Shen is fine. Do what you need to do, and the Chen Family will provide all the support you need. The technology pool will also be open to you, including that of Dragoon Magic Movement Industries. I'll have someone pass the word along; there shouldn't be any issues."

Northern Weapons Industry and National Defense Star are both peers and competitors. Although personal affairs such as marriage might seem like private matters, they can lead to unforeseen situations at times. High-level notifications can preemptively resolve these influences, as Shen Fei's father also agrees.

"Then thank you, Uncle," said Chen Fei joyfully.

Even in writing, the Chen family name connects them, and who else would support them if not their own family?

Uncle's attitude revealed that the full might of the Chen Family would become Chen Fei's backbone, supporting him not only in personal marriage but in other areas too.

Clearly, Uncle Chen Haiqing knew far more than Shen Fei's father Shen Songling.

With the major enemy of the "Sagali" civilization looming, concealing anything would be ill-advised. As chairman, one must naturally be more sensible than average.

At the same time, the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" indicated that two emails had been received, respectively containing special links to the technical repositories of National Defense Star Aerospace Company and Dragoon Magic Movement Industries, both equipped with keys to access their technology pool archives.

The thousand-meter giant ship stationed on Socotra Island immediately began downloading the documents in full speed. The technological strength of these two enterprises, compared to the Northern Weapons Industry Group, is entirely competitive, even unique in certain domains.

The short appointment time was soon up, and Chen Haiqing stood up from the sofa in the guest area.

"I have a meeting in a bit, so I won't chat with the two of you for long. Assistant Wang will accompany you in my stead; if you need anything, just let him know. Come over for dinner at my place tonight; accommodation has been arranged."

"Uncle, please carry on with your work!"

"I'm truly grateful for your help."

Both Chen Fei and Shen Fei expressed sequentially.

Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly, not only meeting the head elder of the Chen Family Gate but also easily acquiring access to the technology pools of two corporate groups, even easier than anticipated.

After Uncle left the office, Chen Fei turned to the assistant who stayed behind and asked, "Assistant Wang, may I ask, where has Chen Shan been recently?"

Among the Chen Family Gate, Chen Fei was most familiar with Uncle's younger son Chen Shan, as Little Shanzi often spent summer vacations at the homes of Chen Shi, Chen Fei, and Chen Meng, bonding with them.

Having not seen Chen Shan for a long time, he asked this question.

Thinking it over, the assistant accompanying Chen Fei and Shen Fei said, "Young Master Shan has been learning to pilot aircraft recently; today he should be at the simulation training area in the factory district."

"Oh? Is he planning to become a pilot?"

Chen Fei recalled that Uncle had also been a combat pilot, and it's possible Chen Shan had inherited some flying talent.

Moreover, since he might inherit National Defense Star one day, it seems appropriate to master some flight skills.

Assistant Wang said with a smile, "Young Master Shan recently succeeded in awakening his Battle Qi and is preparing for the Sky Knight assessment."

This news was still confidential within National Defense Star, but as Chen Fei was part of the Chen Family and had close relationships with the chairman and Young Master Shan, there was no need to conceal it from him.

Despite having an extraordinary relationship with Chen Shan, Chen Fei remarked dismissively, "Ha? Awakening Battle Qi at this age is quite late, isn't it?"

Ability User is the starting point to become a Sky Knight, War Professionals are the best, followed by Ability Users, and lastly Spellcasters, Magicians and Alchemists are not included.

The younger one begins the preparatory training for Sky Knights, the better. If Battle Qi is only awakened after the age of twenty, even with the qualification to be a Sky Knight, the future growth potential is estimated to be quite limited. However... even the weakest Sky Knight is still a Sky Knight, enough to be superior to ordinary Combat Pilots.

"Young Master Shan's Elemental Affinity talent isn't low, just lacking some opportunities."

Assistant Wang was not upset by Chen Fei's words, only close people would talk without boundaries.

Chen Shan successfully awakened Battle Qi and began to condense his own Battle Qi Seed, meaning that besides Chen Shan's elder sister Chen Meizhen and Second Brother from Chen Haishang's family Chen Fei, a third Ability User has emerged within the Chen Family. Although it doesn't compare to the Lin Family's cluster of prodigies, it isn't bad either.

Chen Fei stood up from the sofa, exchanged a glance with his girlfriend Shen Fei, and then said to Assistant Wang: "Anyway, we are idle, Assistant Wang, please take us to find Chen Shan."

Let's see to what extent Little Shanzi has mastered his Flight Skills, Chen Xiao'er is quite curious, and maybe he'll get the chance to mock him a bit.

Uncle is Uncle, Little Shan is Little Shan, Chen Fei always keeps respect for Uncle, but it doesn't mean he must also respect the so-called Young Master Shan. He certainly wouldn't hold back when it's time to give a beating.

"I'll arrange it right away!"

Assistant Wang immediately prepared the vehicle, leading Chen Fei and Shen Fei to the Flight Training Center of the National Defense Star Aerospace Company.

Hundreds of flight simulators very familiar to Chen Fei were arranged into a formation, some of which were rumbling and humming.

Flight simulators are divided into civilian and military types, differentiating mainly in some confidentiality features, payload, and safety limits.

The civilian type corresponds to various civilian aircraft and can even be used as a gaming console.

If one hasn't undergone a certain level of training, rashly handling military-type ones might result in injury.

They found the flight simulator where Chen Shan was, thundering for more than ten minutes before the closed chamber began to disassemble, revealing the sweaty pilot.

Upon seeing the people standing outside the flight simulator for the first time, Chen Shan reflexively bristled his hair.

"Eh? Chen Fei! You, you, what are you doing here!"

Recalling the summer vacation at Fourth Uncle's house, it was Chen Fei who beat him the hardest.

If he knew that Lin Family's abandoned son Lin Zixian also got beaten to a pulp by Chen Xiao'er, his sense of imbalance might immediately balance, as getting beaten alone is worse than everyone getting beaten together, fairness lies in everyone getting their share of a thrashing.

"Brought my girlfriend to see Uncle, and, incidentally, to see you too!"

Chen Fei raised his hand, waved, and pointed to his side at Shen Fei, then said: "My girlfriend, Shen Fei, envious? Jealous?"

Seeing Secretary Shen's high attractiveness, Chen Shan nearly felt unwell.

This damned Chen Xiao'er, what virtues and abilities does he have? How can he find such a high-quality girlfriend, and come specifically to show off to him?

"Hey, you, don't overdo it too much!"

Chen Shan himself was still a single dog, not because he couldn't find a girlfriend, but because he couldn't find a suitable one. Otherwise, with a random call, the top young master of National Defense Star could definitely gather a brigade of little girls jumping at him.

"Heard you've successfully activated Battle Qi, feeling you're capable again, want to spar with me? Maybe you could beat me so hard that I'd be out looking for my teeth!"

Every time Chen Fei sees Little Shanzi, he can't help but provoke a few words, the joy of the strong is often built on the wails of the weak, bullying the weak is the source of happiness.

Shen Fei was quite helpless with her boyfriend's words, could he speak more appropriately?

Assistant Wang was quite embarrassed, all of them being members of the Chen Family, Young Master Shan was being provoked, whether to help or not became a dilemma.

"I won't spar with you; do you think I'm foolish!"

Chen Shan had already been beaten into gaining wisdom, knowing well after hearing Chen Fei's words, the guy was digging a pit and waiting to bury him.

He managed to awaken Battle Qi with difficulty and hadn't formally entered the ranks yet, whereas Chen Fei is a B-level Metal Ability User, how to compare? Haven't had enough beating yet!

"Then when are you planning to do the Sky Knight qualification test? Maybe I could help you!"

Chen Xiao'er digging pits, one pit after another.

"(ˉ▽￣～)切~~, you can help me? You're not even a Sky Knight yourself, how can you help me!"

Chen Shan stood in the flight simulator, with arms akimbo, looked up and down at Chen Fei once, and arrogantly raised his chin.

Chen Fei indeed is an Ability User, but he isn't a Sky Knight, this threshold isn't something just anyone can cross.
