Global Grave Digging: My Reward Increased Ten Thousand Times

138: Steady happinessHe had mastered the formidable power of Dark Sky Thunder.

Lin Fei felt refreshed as he exited the Node Tower and went to the parking lot, where he found a new energy electric car that Xu Zhengyang had helped him prepare.

Speaking of which, Lin Fei found it quite amusing, yet also a bit frustrating.

He had told Xu Zhengyang to get him a car.

Xu Zhengyang asked if he had any requirements.

Lin Fei said safety and fuel efficiency would suffice.

As a result, Xu Zhengyang got him an electric car!

”Boss, this electric car is absolutely fuel-efficient!”

”You certainly understand fuel efficiency.” This was their conversation back then.

In the parking lot.

Lin Fei operated the electric car.

”I have to say, the handling is really good!”

”And it has a large screen.”

”A refrigerator, color TV, and a large sofa—the old three essentials have been arranged inside the car. That’s interesting.”

Lin Fei grew increasingly fond of the electric car he was driving.

The car silently drove out of the Node Tower’s underground parking lot and merged into the traffic flow.

The streets of New Jeju were noticeably much cleaner than when Lin Fei first arrived in this world.

New houses were being built on both sides of the streets, and due to the emergence of the Transcendent, the construction speed was incredibly fast—almost three floors a day, resulting in a dozen-story building in a week.

New Jeju was now full of vitality.

The once tattered billboards on both sides of the street

were replaced by urban promotional paintings.

The hurried passersby also had a greater sense of peace and composure on their faces.

They no longer had to worry about being stopped and robbed for money by thugs in desolate areas.

”Technology changes lives, but ultimately, it’s the system of civilization that matters.”

He enjoyed the smooth and quiet ride of the electric car.

However, just as Lin Fei turned from the street onto the lakeside road,

a glaring red battery icon on the electric car’s dashboard began to flash.

”Oh no, seriously! Out of power precisely at this moment!

I forgot to charge it before leaving this morning.”

Lin Fei was a bit speechless.

With the battery depleted, the car eventually broke down by the roadside.

Lin Fei scratched his head and looked around; this section of the road was quite remote.

Next to it was a large lake, which probably still contained a few of the Three Seven Gang’s departed souls he had eliminated after his first trial.

With no village ahead and no shop behind, finding a charging station was impossible.

”How could such a trivial matter stump someone like me, Lin Fei?”

A bold idea surfaced in Lin Fei’s mind.

He had just mastered lightning.

As a Lightning Mage King,

charging an electric car should be no problem, right?

He decided to act immediately.

A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Fei’s eyes.

He extended his right middle finger, and a fine, dark golden electric arc quietly emerged.

”Just a tiny bit should be enough.”

Lin Fei carefully controlled the output of the Dark Sky Thunder and then pressed it against the charging port.

”Charging!”

”Current charging power: 74 million kW!”

”Current battery: 1%!”

”Current battery: 100%!!”

”Current battery: 99999%!”

”No, I only squeezed out a tiny bit!” Lin Fei was a bit speechless.

He could indeed charge the electric car.

But it charged a bit too fast!

The entire electric car began to glow red, as if it were entering a molten state.

Boom—!!!

A dull, massive explosion suddenly erupted!

That cool-looking new energy electric car was like a hundred high-explosive bombs crammed inside it.

The entire car body suddenly expanded, deformed, and then, in a burst of fire mixed with black electric arcs, it disintegrated with a roar!

The violent shockwave, carrying countless burning car parts, spread wildly in all directions.

”Holy cow!”

Lin Fei was also startled, not expecting such a huge commotion.

Fortunately, he reacted swiftly; the moment the explosion occurred, he pressed his left hand into the void.

Vast spiritual power and extreme cold ice energy surged out simultaneously.

A translucent ice-blue energy shield instantly formed, compressing and confining the nearly out-of-control aftershocks of the explosion and the scattered car debris within an extremely small spherical range.

The raging flames and violent impact, suppressed by the ice-blue energy shield,

quickly vanished without a trace.

It all happened in just a few seconds.

A brand new new energy electric car was completely scrapped.

Only a patch of scorched black ground remained.

The explosion came and went quickly.

To be honest, it was normal; if the Dark Sky Thunder power on Lin Fei’s body were converted into electrical energy, it would probably be enough to charge a Starship.

Imagine the power generation comparable to the Three Gorges Dam instantly surging into a small electric car—it’s guaranteed to explode, right?

This electric car wasn’t like Prince Yin Jiao in ”Investiture of the Gods 2” who could drain a Celestial Venerable completely dry.

Lin Fei clapped the dust off his hands with a bit of helplessness.

While the power of Dark Sky Thunder was indeed world-destroying in combat, using it for delicate tasks clearly required more practice.

One wrong move, and it was easy to lose control.

”I need to practice more in the future. Control of abilities isn’t just about being stronger; it also requires meticulous precision.”

Without a means of transportation, Lin Fei didn’t bother to go through more trouble.

He glanced at the bus stop sign by the road and noticed that several new bus routes had recently opened in the Lower District.

One of them happened to pass by Zhou Mountain Welfare Institute.

”Taking the bus. It’s a pity I haven’t experienced taking the subway yet. I must try it if I get the chance in the future.”

Lin Fei walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

Before long, a brand new bus slowly approached.

The interior of the bus was clean and tidy, with few passengers, mostly ordinary residents of the Lower District.

Their faces showed the weariness of life, but also a sense of stability.

The current social order, maintained secretly by Transcendent like Lin Fei and strongly regulated by official forces, was indeed much better than the initial chaotic situation.

Incidents of bullying and robbery had significantly decreased.

Under the leadership of Li Wuxuan and his disciple Huang Yin, the majesty of the law was re-established.

Ordinary people who were unable to enter the trial world, as long as they were diligent and hardworking, could also achieve a relatively stable and prosperous life through their own efforts.

They no longer had to live in constant fear, worrying about being robbed or stolen from, being controlled by foreigners, or being extorted by corrupt police officers in the constabulary.

Lin Fei sat by the window, watching the street scenes flash by, feeling quite emotional.

’Power is truly a wonderful thing.’

’You don’t have to invade others, but you must have your own strength to resist invasion.’

The bus stopped at the station near Zhou Mountain Welfare Institute.

Lin Fei got off and walked familiar paths towards the welfare institute.

From afar, he could smell the familiar aroma of food, which was Aunt Chen’s specialty.

Pushing open the slightly old but still sturdy iron gate of the welfare institute,

in the courtyard, several young children were chasing and playing in the sunlight, their laughter clear and pleasant.

In the kitchen, his sister Lin Mengzi was wearing an apron, helping Aunt Chen make dumplings.

Her dark, beautiful hair was simply tied back, and her delicate profile was serene and lovely.

However, Lin Fei could detect a subtle, almost imperceptible hint of melancholy in her brows.

The next time she truly entered the Worm Nest World instance and returned, there was no telling when that would be.

Therefore, she chose this most simple way to spend more time with Aunt Chen, who had cared for them like a mother as they grew up.

”Aunt Chen, I’m back!” Lin Fei said with a smile as he entered the kitchen.

”Oh, Xiao Fei is back!” Aunt Chen’s face creased into a smile when she saw Lin Fei, like a blooming chrysanthemum, warm and inviting. ”Perfect, come quickly and help! Today we’re making dumplings!”

Your sister said she wanted to eat the hezi you make.”

Hezi are dumplings made with two wrappers.

They symbolize family reunion and perfection.

But to put it plainly, they were actually designed when too much dough was rolled out and there wasn’t enough filling.

”Really? Then I’ll make you a hundred!”

”How could I eat all that?” Lin Mengzi laughed.

Lin Fei joked, ”If you can’t finish them, just force them down.”

”It’s okay if you can’t finish them; we can fry them tomorrow,” Aunt Chen said, wiping sweat from her brow with the back of her hand as she rolled dough.

Lin Fei washed his hands and joined the dumpling-making.

His skill was good; the hezi he made were plump and evenly pleated, like exquisite little suns.

Aunt Chen looked at the two sensible children before her, feeling both comforted and emotional.

”What’s gotten into you two today?

Don’t you need to cultivate? You’re so diligent,” Aunt Chen teased playfully.

Lin Fei and Lin Mengzi exchanged glances, both seeing a complex emotion in the other’s eyes.

Their third sister had been in that world for several years now.

When would they return after going there this time?

That was an unknown.

But with their third sister Lu Zhifei there, even if it was a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, they had to go and brave it.
