Chapter 52: Bidding Goodbye to Family

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

“Not bad! This bottle of medicine can be said to be of a high-grade quality!”

“There are three chances, but he succeeded on the second attempt. He seems to be very skillful in concocting medicine!”

“To think that he has learned how to make a new genetic medicine within such a short time. It seems that he has impressive aptitude to become a geneticist!”

The interviewers kept on studying the berserk medicine that Feng Lin had just concocted successfully. They were all full of praises for Feng Lin.

“Congratulations, Feng Lin! You’re the talent that we’re looking for, with solid theoretical knowledge and strong hands-on abilities! We can sign the contract now!” The main interviewer smiled and said. With a tap, a virtual contract appeared before Feng Lin.

This was a virtual contract, but it was still valid as it registered the individual’s virtual id.

And the virtual id was tied to the individual’s actual identity. Therefore, it was valid.

Since Feng Lin came for the interview and went through a lot of efforts to pass this, he would naturally not reject it.

To be safe, he still looked through the contract in detail for three times. He didn’t discover any loopholes in the law. It was a three months internship contract, with a basic pay of 50,000 star coins every month. If he showed outstanding performance, he could be converted to a permanent worker.

Although the contract was for three months, there would be leave given for the New Year. At that time, he would be able to return to Earth and participate in the clan’s ranking competition. Moreover, the college examinations were coming up in six months. There was plenty of time, and the internship wouldn’t hold up his college examinations.

After taking various situations into consideration, Feng Lin didn’t hesitate any further and just signed his name on the contract.

However, he didn’t notice that when he signed the contract, the interviewers had shared secretive glances between themselves.

When the contract was signed, the main interviewer smiled and asked, “Feng Lin, when can you start work?”

“The sooner the better! I’ll comply with the company’s arrangements!” Feng Lin said, having the awareness of being a newcomer into the workforce.

Hearing that, the interviewers exchanged a glance and broke into satisfied smiles.

“That’s good! We’ll book the space shuttle ticket for you immediately. It’ll take only six hours to travel from Earth straight to Mars.” The main interviewer went online to book the space shuttle ticket immediately, appearing as if he couldn’t wait and wished to have Feng Lin set off immediately.

Feng Lin found this a little strange, but he didn’t think much about it.

Very soon, the main interviewer completed the booking, and an electronic space shuttle ticket was sent from the official website of the space shuttle’s port. The details were all stated on the ticket.

“Harley Model 989 passenger space shuttle. Take off time: 12 noon tomorrow, luxurious first-class section, seat number 11!”

The Harley-model space shuttles were well-known luxurious space shuttles in the Interstellar Era. Moreover, they had booked the most expensive first-class seat for him. The Giant Pharmaceutical Company was really kind!

Feng Lin was very satisfied with the arrangements, but for some reason, he had a faint feeling that something wasn’t right.

However, the contract was already signed, and it was legally binding. It was too late to regret now.

The Giant Pharmaceutical Company could be said to be a magnate of genetic medicine in the solar system. Moreover, Feng Lin had nothing to his name. What could they seek to get from him?

Feng Lin laughed at himself in ridicule, not giving it much thought.

“I’ll be accepting the space shuttle ticket! I’ll set off on time tomorrow!” Feng Lin nodded toward the interviewers and prepared to leave.

Since he was going to head out to work, then he would have to apply for leave from his teacher and then bid goodbye to his family. Otherwise, there might be a big commotion for no reason if he was thought to have gone missing.

With a single thought, he disappeared on the spot.

The five interviewers smiled as they watched him leave. As Feng Lin disappeared from the spot, the smiles on their faces rapidly disappeared and became cold.

In the vast virtual universe, the stars were shining brightly and the Milky Way hung up high. It was an unforgettable scene.

It was a pity and regrettable that he didn’t have the time to enjoy the scenery. He could only wait for another chance in the future to come to experience it again.

Feng Lin looked at the time after leaving the virtual cabin and realized that even though he had spent half the day inside, it had only been 30 minutes outside.

He recalled his earlier worry and secretly laughed at how it had all been groundless worries.

Seeing that it was getting late, he headed home.

Tomorrow was very important and he needed to make preparations.

“Feng Lin, you’re back!” When he arrived home, his parents had already come back from the factory. They immediately reprimanded Feng Lin after seeing him.

“Why didn’t you tell us anything about you taking on a part-time job for seven days?”

“You made us worry for nothing! We thought that something had happened to you!”

The reprimands were filled with intense concern.

Feng Lin felt very warm inside.

“I’m going to graduate very soon. I’m grown up now! Isn’t going out to work something that I should do?” Feng Lin didn’t reveal anything and just smiled.

After a day of hard work, his parent’s faces were filled with fatigue. They didn’t have the energy to continue the reprimands after a while.

In order to prevent them from asking further, Feng Lin quickly diverted the topic. “Oh, right! I used the money earned from the part-time job to purchase mid-grade nutrient fluids. Not only can they replenish energy, but they can also help replenish nourishment for younger brother and sister, raising their cultivation aptitude!”

He walked toward the fridge and took out five bottles of mid-grade nutrient fluids.

“Yay! We can drink mid-grade nutrient fluids again!” When Feng Lin’s younger siblings heard that, they immediately pounced toward him like two greedy kittens.

Feng Lin’s parents looked at the mid-grade nutrient fluids, their emotions welling up. They felt ashamed, regretful, and helpless.

They felt ashamed that although they were parents, they were unable to provide their children with good conditions that could allow them to grow up strong and well.

They felt regretful because if Feng Lin had had enough nourishment, his cultivation aptitude wouldn’t have been this bad. He was already in his third year in high school, yet his vitality was only at 0.4. He had no hopes of going for the college examinations and could only work at the clan’s factory, with no prospects at all for his entire life.

They felt helpless as they were low-grade clansmen and really couldn’t do anything about it.

The taste of the mid-grade nutrient fluids wasn’t bad. They tasted much better than low-grade nutrient fluids. However, even though Feng Lin’s younger siblings enjoyed them with a great sense of satisfaction, his parents felt as though they were tasteless, as if they were eating wax.

Feng Lin could tell what his parents were thinking. However, he didn’t tell them that he was no longer the same as how he had been before.

If he were to share this fact abruptly, this overwhelming change would give the two of them a great scare, causing them to worry needlessly.

Feng Lin only thought of watching over this family and to let his parents and younger siblings have a stable living environment.

At the thought of this, his determination to break off from the clan grew.

“Father, mother, I’ve already applied for leave at school! I’ll be taking on part-time jobs again in another few days’ time!” Feng Lin said.

His parents were drinking the nutrient fluids, and they immediately stopped upon hearing that.

Feng Lin’s father had on a sorrowful expression. “How long will you be gone for? Don’t be holding up your internship at the clan’s factory. Otherwise, the Head Butler will blame and punish you!”

“Don’t worry, it’ll only be for a week!” Feng Lin told them a white lie.

If he didn’t return after a week and the clan pursued this, there would be Feng Lang to handle the matter. Thus, Feng Lin wasn’t worried.

Hearing that, his parents nodded and didn’t object further.

After all, this wasn’t something bad. The money earned could be used to replenish Feng Cheng’s and Feng Xin’s nourishment, increasing their cultivation aptitude so that they wouldn’t walk down the same path as Feng Lin.

With Feng Lin intentionally guiding the conversation, the atmosphere became more relaxed and they shared a lot of laughter over dinner.

Seeing that it was late, Feng Lin’s parents brought his younger siblings back to sleep.

Feng Lin returned to his dark bedroom and immediately drew back his smile.

It was rare that this time around, he didn’t put in great effort to cultivate but instead, attempted to sleep on his bed.

He stared at the ceiling, not knowing why he was unable to sleep.

Tomorrow was a day that would change his destiny. If he took the right move, the world would open up for him, and he would be able to go wherever he wished to.

If it was a wrong move, then he could only leave the clan forcibly, wandering alone in the universe.

Feng Lin had the confidence that he’d be able to leave. However, it’d be difficult for him to bring his parents and younger siblings along!

Therefore, he wouldn’t leave by himself selfishly until there was really no other way out.

He had no idea if things would turn out the way he wanted them to on this trip.

If it didn’t, then he would…

No, things must work out…

For sure…

Feng Lin entered a deep slumber amidst the grogginess.

Early the next morning, before the sun was up, his eyes opened.

Feng Lin pretended as if nothing was wrong and started to clean up his room, bringing along all of the potions of life with him. These were all precious resources and were extremely important in the cultivation that would follow.

After taking a long look at his parents and younger siblings who were in deep sleep, Feng Lin turned and left with great resolution.

Father, mother, goodbye!

Young brother, younger sister, goodbye!
