Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 528: Section 524 - Spare Money

Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu’s light-based spells had an immediate effect; Chen Fei’s adverse condition was completely resolved, and though he was carried in horizontally into the medical unit, it wasn’t long before he walked out on his own two feet again.

Yet, falling near the runway in front of everyone was still terrifying, even though he wasn’t seriously hurt!

If it had been someone else, it probably would have been more than just a minor concussion; they might have ended up dead, dead!

Only Second Brother Chen, with his self-supplied "Band-Aid", could fall twice in succession and still be lively enough to continue tinkering, pushing his luck until he could no more.

Each main combat flyer was built upon the lives of test pilots; there were no shortcuts or schemes to safety.

The Crystal Jet that crashed next to the main runway looked dreadful, seemingly beyond repair, but under the operation of Metal Elemental Psychic Power, it quickly restored itself to its original state, resurrecting fully on the spot.

Under Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu’s light healing spells, Chen Fei also regained his capability impressively.

The people from the Genuine Fragrance Combat Flight Squadron and the Mechanics Unit were completely speechless.

Everyone knew that the rookie’s journey to truly mastering the Crystal Jet was just beginning.

National Treasure Artifacts were never simple.

Fly once a day, crash at least three times each time.

If it weren’t for the "Flying Dragon" Tactical Armor and Metal Elemental Psychic Power that allowed the Crystal Jet to undergo controllable deformation to offset most of the impact force, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough for Chen Xiao’er.

The people at the Aircrew Base #911 gradually got used to the constant crashes.

With continuous adjustments by Chen Fei and "Adam," the Crystal Jet slowly began to change its appearance, and these changes were meaningful, as the frequency of crashes decreased.

During this period, Adrian Benjamin, who had once served with him in the Bear Hunting Special Operations Division of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, called to catch up.

Everyone was in the military contracting business; it was a small world, and you never knew when you might need help or collaboration.

Not just Adrian but others too, like Miyoshi Xuesen, an Eighth Rank Wind Element War Professional, Susanna, a B-grade Ice Ability User, and Ruan Tiankai, a Ninth Rank Earth Mage, all called to say hi. The only exception was the Neanderthal Chief Bassan.

This reticent Clan Leader, who was not good with words, wouldn’t know what to say even if he made a call. He was fine talking business but utterly clammed up when it came to social niceties. He didn’t call Chen Fei like the others, which wasn’t surprising.

Chen Fei being kicked out of the special action squad and his temporary conscription being annulled by the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee wasn’t exactly a secret nor worth keeping one; evidently, word had reached Team 04.

After Chen Fei left Hablav City, the Bear Hunting Special Operations Division also went through changes, or rather, adjustments.

Most of the action squads were disbanded, and many ability users returned home, including the members of Team 04, who went their separate ways.

There was a reason the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee had abruptly burned its bridges.

As more sovereignties lent their increasing support, the formerly small operations of the action squads under the Special Operations Division gradually evolved into collaborations among multiple teams, until active duty forces also got involved. They fought several significant battles alongside the mysterious "Water Bear" organization and its peripheral affiliates "Sacred Advent," seriously draining the latter’s strength.

Add to that the underhanded surprise attacks by Miyoshi Xuesen’s Huntsman Squad on the core members of the "Water Bear" organization, which were nearly lethal. Under internal and external distress, the "Water Bear" organization, even without disintegrating on the spot, probably couldn’t recover any time soon and decisively chose to cut its losses. This effectively ended all leads and halted the value of further investigation.

With the enemy gone, as naturally as birds vanish when the sky clears, the bows are put away when the rabbits are gone, and the loyal dogs are cooked once the hunt is over.

Burning bridges after crossing them is typical human nature, and of course, the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee wouldn’t continue to employ idlers; having money doesn’t mean it should be wasted.

Most of the called-up ability users were dismissed with a severance payment, including the mates from Team 04. Only the team leader, Adrian Benjamin, and A-grade Metal Ability User Kiterley remained. If the Holy Knight Walter Sam had still been alive, perhaps he, too, would have been kept.

Of course, if Chen Xiao’er had not been so reckless, perhaps he too would have been treated as a valuable combat resource.

But now... there really is nothing to regret!

Being a stressed temporary worker was enough.

The Mobile Base Vehicle left in Hablav City was sold by Adrian for a good price. He didn’t keep any of the profit, sending all of it, over two million Star Yuan, to Chen Fei. Such a good person!

Basically, all members of Team 04 could trust each other entirely; they had been through life and death together and completely withstood the test of money.

Chen Fei was quick to respond. The moment he received the money, he immediately returned ten percent of it. He didn’t want Adrian to have wasted his efforts. Given this transaction, there might be another in the future. This way the relationship could last.

Taking advantage consumes goodwill. Which is more important, relationships or money? It’s as clear as the lice on a bald man’s head.

With this unexpected transfer from Adrian, after Chen Fei had paid off his old debt to Boss Hana, his nearly depleted bank account finally saw some cash again.

He casually sent a sum of living expenses to his little sister Chen Meng, not much, fifty thousand Star Yuan, to prevent her from being too extravagant.

Nowadays, although there’s no tuition for college, if you can pass the exams, you can study, but there are still essential costs for food, drink, clothing, textbooks, and school supplies, as well as daily social expenses. The trainee treatment at Henghai Tactical Weapons Group only covered the basic daily needs, slightly above the poverty threshold. If she ever wanted to take a taxi, eat out, or go for a song, she probably had to check her bank account balance and hesitate for a long while.

Poverty is a sin and easily leads to disdain.

Previously, grappling with famine, Chen Fei had been unable to lend a hand in support, relying solely on their dad’s and mom’s pension and Elder Brother Chen’s pooled contributions to provide some pocket money, aiming to subsidize Chen Meng’s college life as much as possible. Full-time academic expenses meant money was only going out, not coming in; although they weren’t starving or thirsty, the financial difficulty was inevitable.

Ding!~

51600 Star Yuan received!

The payer was Chen Meng.

"Xiao Meng, what’s this all about?"

Chen Fei, who was busy with the Crystal Jet, hurriedly called.

What’s with my little sister, refunding and even adding money?

She mustn’t be thinking anything serious, my stinky sister!

"Second Brother, I can earn money now, I’m not short on funds, with a work-study salary and scholarships."

During the successful call connection, a proud Little Sister Chen’s voice carried a trace of tears.

Chen Fei had taken on a huge debt of five million Star Yuan by working away from home, how could Chen Meng act as if nothing happened and just lightly skip over it?

"Hey, I’m not short on money either! This is your pocket money, for daily improvements, hang out more with friends, especially those trainees, who might become colleagues and partners in the future."

Now Chen Fei’s financial situation had finally improved a bit, although not enough to achieve personal financial freedom, he finally had the surplus to help his family.

50,000 Star Yuan could completely satisfy Chen Meng’s needs for a few months of dining and social gatherings with friends.

"I don’t need so much, Second Brother, keep it for yourself."

Chen Meng sniffled, her emotions gradually stabilizing a bit.

It was not easy for Second Brother to work outside, earning some money still meant to patch up deficits first, so there was no spare cash to give her for pocket money, she could not possibly accept it no matter what.

"Rest assured! The debt our family owed has already been paid off, and there’s more left! Hmm, after paying off the debt, I still have over two million in hand, we are not short on money!"

Chen Fei tried to dissolve his little sister’s concerns, after all, such a large sum of money had brought significant implications to The Chen Family.

When an elder brother becomes financially stable, isn’t it only natural to give his sister some pocket money?

"Ah? All paid off?"

Chen Meng could hardly believe her ears; even without counting interest, it was still five million Star Yuan.

How had it been paid off so quickly?

What had Second Brother done to accumulate so much money so suddenly?

Little Sister Chen had underestimated Second Brother’s capability, the actual debt was not five million Star Yuan, but over ten million.

On his first day at work, he had nearly lost his life, and the new debt was a price for his life.

But at last, the debt was cleared, and Chen Fei could finally smoothly cover this issue, leaving no opportunity for his family to worry.

"Gone, really gone, and there’s more good news, the family who tricked you has been caught, it won’t be long before they are extradited back for trial, and they will have to spit out every single penny they took from us."

Chen Fei had more good news to share.

Little Sister Chen’s heartache wasn’t just about the five million Star Yuan debt, but also about the betrayal of her trusting best friend and classmate.

Once extradited back to the homeland, where people live, debts do not stop. Thinking that going to jail would absolve them of their debts was purely delusional; The Chen Family’s suffered hardships must be reclaimed from that family of swindlers.

"Right, not a single penny less!"

On the other end of the call, Chen Meng silently vowed, her hatred as deep now as her plight had been dire when she was tricked.

"Later, you pass the word to dad, mom, and Elder Brother, and if Elder Brother needs help with his mortgage, I can also offer to help, since we’re not short on money now, and I will earn even more in the future."

In Aircrew Base 911, Chen Fei had hardly any expenses, so having surplus funds naturally meant choosing to support his family.

"I will definitely tell them this good news."

Chen Meng also wanted to personally share this good news with the rest of the family.

The heavy burden the family had endured for so long could finally be put down.
