Chapter 598
After the graduation ceremony, Mu Feng said goodbye to his friends and set out on the road home.
Standing in front of the familiar spiritual food store, Mu Feng pushed open the door with landscape paintings, and the familiar fragrance hit him.
After not returning for four years, everything here is familiar and strange.
There are no winter and summer vacations in the school life. Unless there are special circumstances at home and you need to take leave, you need to stay in the school all the time.
This is also the main reason why he has not returned for four years. He usually contacts his father through video calls.
But every time his father looks impatient, yelling at him to do something and not to call back if there is nothing to do.
It is not yet lunch time, and the place is already full of waiting diners.
Mu Feng's eyes look at the menu on the wall. Compared with his memory, there are several more types of dishes, and the diners are all unfamiliar faces. In the kitchen at the end of his sight, he
can still hear the sound of iron shovels and iron pots colliding violently, and the fragrance is coming from the kitchen.
Seeing him pushing his luggage, a middle-aged clerk came forward curiously, looked at him and asked with a smile:
"Sorry, this place is full, do you mind sharing the table?"
Faced with the question, Mu Feng was about to answer when he saw a figure leaning out of the kitchen.
When their eyes met, a smile appeared on his father's face, and then he quickly walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder gently:
"I'm back."
"Yes, I'm back."
There was no excited hug, nor a warm welcome. As they smiled at each other, Mu Feng suddenly felt a little sad.
After four years of absence, he found that his father's temples had turned gray, and the wound that climbed from his right wrist to his neck like a centipede seemed to be more serious, and the surrounding purple marks like tentacles were obviously spreading.
The old man who had taken care of him all his life no longer had the rebellious attitude of the past. He had lost the breath of blood and fire when he returned from the battlefield, and only the smell of fireworks remained on his body.
"Come and help me with the work. I don't have time to take care of you during the busiest time in the store."
Looking at his grinning father, Mu Feng couldn't help rolling his eyes:
"Dad, your son just came back and asked me to help with the work? Doesn't it hurt your heart?"
"Why hurt? What's wrong with your son helping your father with work? Come and help quickly. I'll talk to you after lunch."
"Okay, I'll go upstairs to put my luggage and come down."
As he said, Mu Feng pushed the luggage to the stairs and went straight upstairs.
When he returned to the room, he found that the room was very tidy. It was obvious that his father often cleaned it. The family photos placed on the desk reminded him of the past.
There was no romantic foreshadowing or story when his father and mother met.
The initial acquaintance was completely arranged by the Xingcheng Marriage Department. After getting to know each other, they felt good and decided to be together.
After the reform of Jihe, Xingcheng has removed many cumbersome old customs. There was no betrothal gift or dowry for the marriage of his father and mother. They just invited relatives and friends of both sides to have a meal together, and then registered their marriage in the Xingcheng database, which was considered a complete marriage.
Although the process of getting to know each other was very ordinary, the relationship between the parents was very good after they got together. The father was a frontline soldier and the mother was a staff member serving on the front line. Every time the father was ordered to fight, the mother would always wait anxiously in the rear.
After the mother left suddenly, the father was depressed for a while.
But the father soon got rid of the inner haze, chose to face the future calmly, and devoted all his energy to the frontline to develop his career.
In Mu Feng's impression, the father is a tough man with a strong character and never admits defeat.
However, his character is just the opposite of his father. He decisively admits defeat in the face of difficulties and never fights to the death. Perhaps it is precisely because of the difference in character that his father is a graduate of the Dawn Academy, while he is only a graduate of the Wisdom Academy.
After simply tidying up the room and taking out the clothes in the luggage, he went downstairs.
He followed his father in the kitchen until two o'clock in the afternoon, when all the guests left. However,
the father no longer prepared dinner, hung the closing sign at the door of the store, and then talked to him about where to go next.
As for where to go next, Mu Feng himself did not have a clear answer.
According to the teachers of the academy, the specific assignment after graduation will be sent within ten days. The graduates of this year will have 15 days of rest. After 15 days, they will go to the breeding farms they will be responsible for in the future according to the arrangement of the spirit beast management department.
During the chat, when he learned that Mu Feng graduated with the results of an outstanding graduate of the Wisdom Academy, his father seemed extremely excited and shouted that he was worthy of being his son.
At this time, his father obviously still had hope for his future.
He believed that with his grades, as long as he was willing to work hard in the future, he would definitely be able to make a career in the field of spirit beasts.
But Mu Feng's idea was completely the opposite.
He had visited and studied at the Dawn Academy and knew very well that what they learned was only related to breeding technology. In four years, they had not been exposed to any knowledge applicable to the development level of spirit beasts. Even though he was a graduate of the Wisdom Academy, what he learned was far less than the last one in the spirit beasts of the Dawn Academy.
It seems to be the same field, but in fact it is very different.
For his father's high hopes, he could only smile awkwardly.
In the evening, his father personally cooked a table of dishes for him to celebrate his graduation.
Accustomed to the light diet in the Wisdom Academy, Mu Feng couldn't help but think back to his childhood when he ate the spiritual food made by his father again.
At that time, his father also had high hopes for him. He took out the retirement pay to buy spiritual food for him, hoping that he could better embark on the combat system and lay a good physical foundation in advance.
He had to admit that his father was very talented in everything he did.
Originally, he only made spiritual food for him, but his cooking skills improved day by day, and finally he simply opened a spiritual food store.
The father who could have retired and lived a healthy life chose to be busy again in order to give him a set of top-level equipment when he went to the front line in the future.
Although he grew up under his father's iron fist since he was a child, he could clearly feel his father's love for him.
Before retiring, his father fought for the rise of Star City. After retiring, his father gave all his energy to him. His temper, which was usually scolding, was just to hope that he would work hard to improve, rather than continue to grow under his protection.
Thinking of this farewell, I don't know when I will come back again, Mu Feng felt inexplicably sad.
As if he could see what Mu Feng was thinking, the old man sitting next to him put down his glass, looked at him and grinned,
"Xiao Feng, work hard when you go to the farm. You don't need to worry about me. I'm a retired soldier from the front line. Xingcheng will take care of my living security. All medical services are also free. Your father will definitely live a more comfortable life than you in the future."
Mu Feng was speechless when he heard this, but he knew that his father was telling the truth.
The welfare benefits of his father who had retired from the front line were much better than his work in the farm.
"Dad, there will be fewer opportunities to come back in the future. I don't know how many times we will have the opportunity to meet
in this life." Mu Feng spoke his inner thoughts at this time.
Hearing this, the old man grinned:
"Don't be so cheesy with me, a good man has ambitions, don't always think about going home. I hope you can make a career in the field of spirit beasts. If not, get married early. While I am still alive, I still have time and energy to help you take care of your children... If you have no future in this life, I will expect my grandson to make a career."
The sadness in his heart was diluted by the words of his father.
Looking at the frivolous old father, Mu Feng sighed in his heart, then raised his glass to clink with his father and drank it in one gulp.
After three rounds of drinking, the old man suddenly stood up and left the room. When he came back again, he had a wooden box in his hand.
It can be seen that the old man attaches great importance to this wooden box. He held the wooden box with both hands, and his expression was no longer frivolous as before.
"Dad, are you going to hand over the heirloom to me?"
Seeing the old man put the wooden box in front of him, Mu Feng couldn't help asking curiously.
The old man did not answer, but just glared at Mu Feng fiercely, and then solemnly opened the wooden box.
Mu Feng immediately looked into the wooden box and was surprised to find that there was a miniature statue of Feng Qi inside the wooden box.
"Your father had outstanding military exploits on the front line. In the battle to dispel the evil demon field, your father held two broadswords and led his brothers to fight through a front line. Unfortunately, this battle left me seriously injured. I could no longer practice and had to retire. But your father also won many honors for this battle, and was given this statue of faith by the military."
After hearing this, Mu Feng suddenly understood what his father meant.
How precious is the statue of faith? How could he not know it?
If a believer wants to establish a faith connection with Feng Qi, the first step is to establish initial faith through the statue of faith.
This miniature statue of faith is equivalent to a mobile faith connection station.
Usually, this precious miniature statue of faith is only given to those soldiers or scientific researchers who have made outstanding contributions to the development of Xingcheng.
At this time, the old man looked at the statue with his eyes full of memories, and sighed:
"The person your father admires most in his life is Feng Qi, and he is also his loyal believer. Relying on this belief, your father has escaped the danger of certain death several times on the front line by borrowing his innate abilities. This time I will give you the statue, hoping that you can establish a faith connection as soon as possible, and you can also borrow knowledge and strength from Feng Qi through faith when you need it in the future."
"Dad, then I won't be polite to accept it."
"You are being polite to me, this thing will be the heirloom of my Mu family in the future, you kid remember to pass it down from generation to generation."
"Okay." Mu Feng did not refuse hypocritically, and immediately took the wooden box containing the Feng Qi faith statue.
During the chat, the old man seemed a little drunk.
The old man used to have very good physical fitness, and he was completely able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. He could drink as much as he wanted, and his strong physical fitness could easily dissolve alcohol.
But the serious injury caused the old man to lose his Qi Sea, and he could no longer continue to practice. His physical fitness also deteriorated with the worsening of the wound. He even had to go to the Veterans Medical Hospital for regular checkups and treatment every month. He was no longer as fit as he used to be .
After helping the drunk old man back to his room to sleep, Mu Feng went downstairs to clean the table alone.
He saw the old man's aging, and while feeling sad, he suddenly realized that he could no longer rely on him.
Thinking of the words that his father often said, hoping that he would learn to make progress, Mu Feng had the idea for the first time whether he should make some changes to his ordinary future.
...
15 days later.
Mu Feng said goodbye to his father at the station and got on the train to his job.
Just a week ago, the Xingcheng Spirit Beast Management Department sent him a message and assigned him to a farm 3 kilometers north of Dawn City.
The label of this farm is Farm A-32.
As for the specific situation inside the farm, he did not find relevant content in the database.
Sitting by the window, the prosperous city buildings passed by quickly in front of him, but Mu Feng felt a little confused in his heart.
He thought he had accepted his future situation, but thinking of his father's high-expectation eyes, he suddenly wondered whether he should try to work hard after work to change his ordinary future. With
his thoughts surging, Mu Feng fell into a mental struggle.
He felt that with his ability, he would not be able to change the future even if he chose to work hard. He was destined to be an ordinary person who would be submerged in the tide of history.
He would never be able to reach the height of his father's expectations.
But is he really going to choose to live an ordinary life?
At this moment, two ideas intertwined in his mind, making Mu Feng hesitant. After
thinking again and again, Mu Feng couldn't help but sigh and stopped thinking about the future. The most important thing now was to go to the farm and then clarify his work content.
As for the future, let's go one way and see another.
When night fell, the train that Mu Feng was riding drove out of Star City and headed towards the Dawn City under construction.
At noon the next day.
Mu Feng woke up from his deep sleep, looked up and looked out the window, and what came into view was a magnificent new city.
This is Dawn City.
It can be seen that Dawn City is still in the early stages of construction. There are large and small tower cranes in the city, and spiritual energy pipelines are being laid on the ground throughout the city.
This city is a combination of the existing human cultivation system and scientific and technological technology, and is built using the most advanced human technology.
Dawn City was planned and built by Feng Qi himself, but due to resource constraints in the early stage, it has not been started and has always been in the planning stage on paper.
When Ji He became the leader, Star City had abundant resources, and Dawn New City was officially put into construction.
The planned area of this city is more than four times larger than that of Star City, with five urban areas, namely East, South, West, North and Central Urban Areas.
Among them, Star City will move into the central area after the construction of Dawn New City is completed, and the people of Winter City will collectively move to the northern area of Dawn New City according to the original plan.
Mu Feng did not have a deep understanding of the specific arrangements of the other districts.
But from the perspective of urban planning, he could guess what Feng Qi was thinking at the time, which was to merge the five major cities into a human city.
Victory City, Future City, Winter City, Old City, and Star City, the five major cities are aggregated into a super cultivation system city.
Therefore, the construction project of this city is extremely large.
Every year, a large number of talents and labor are invested in the development and construction of Dawn New City.
If he had not chosen the Wisdom Academy, he would probably have come to Dawn New City to become a city builder.
The train sped along the track above the city. Mu Feng's eyes scanned the buildings of Dawn New City, and he was full of curiosity about the city.
Especially those cultivation system building frameworks that had been built, he was very curious about the functions of these buildings.
But there is no doubt that the construction of this city requires a long time to accumulate.
There is no way he will see the day when the construction of Dawn New City is completed in his lifetime.
This city belongs to the people of the future.
Three days later.
When the train stopped at the station outside the north of Dawn New City, Mu Feng realized that he was about to usher in a new chapter in his life.
I haven't played games for a long time. I suddenly want to play games. Can you recommend some?
