Cosmic Demon

Chapter 191 Four Alliance Regions, Great Revitalization Plan!

The strong wind blew Qin Shi's hair on his forehead, and he reached out and poked the shoulder of Kang Yuner who was driving the motorcycle.

Because of the fast speed, the latter's sound is not coherent and has a discontinuous feeling.

"Want to hug my waist? No problem. I don't mind, little brother."

Another ordinary girl like Teacher Lin.

Qin Shi's mouth twitched, and he said silently:

"Neither you nor I are wearing helmets, we will be deducted points later."

laugh!
The tires rubbed against the ground, and Kang Yuner braked suddenly to stop the red motorcycle.

She turned her head and stared at Qin Shi with strange eyes.

"You are truly a law-abiding model student."

Then he took out two helmets.

According to common sense, even if Kang Yuner drove at the highest speed and then lost control and overturned, Qin Shi, whose vitality was extremely close to 100 points, would not be hurt at all.

"The teacher taught well. Personal will should not override social rules."

Qin Shi always speaks with positive energy. This is what Lao Liang said to him.

But there is a second half to the sentence.

But if there is no way to seek justice, then we must decisively use violence to make our voices heard to the higher-ups.

Kang Yun'er was a little puzzled about Qin Shi who was sitting in the back seat. He looked young and there was a bit of childishness between his brows, but his words and actions seemed unusually mature and steady.

This was very different from the young genius she had interviewed, Wu Dao Jiao Yang.

Those people will be more or less frivolous and willful, or have an overwhelming sense of arrogance and dominance.

As for classmate Qin, he seems too gentle and too ordinary.

"It's hard to catch news gimmicks! The public prefers 'celebrity figures' with personality!"

Kang Yuner muttered to herself and decided to observe Qin Shi carefully.

She just didn't believe it. She was the editor-in-chief and had interviewed planetary governors, rising stars of chapters, and the pride of martial arts, and she had never failed.

How could I not be able to handle a high school student!

The locomotive passed by rows of high-rise buildings and arrived at the eastern suburbs of Dangyang where the houses were low.

From a flat and wide road, it has turned into a loess road overgrown with weeds on both sides. Abandoned factories can be seen everywhere, and messy electric wires are connected to lonely poles, like a barren forest where no lush vegetation can grow.

"Didn't the Education Commission allocate you a talent apartment in the Tai'an metropolitan area? With your top-100 ranking, it wouldn't be too much to give you a whole single-family villa. Why are you going back to Jiuchang Street?"

Kang Yoon-ah slowed down slowly, eyebrows raised, wondering if Qin Shi was establishing a character setting.

Outlook Weekly is affiliated to Tomorrow Group, a subsidiary of a legitimate media giant.

Since its founding, it has always adhered to the principles of pursuing truth and maintaining fairness.

In this age when tabloids and marketing buzz fill our horizons, Outlook Weekly is indeed one of the few news outlets that remains objective and neutral.

They have the largest number of investigative journalists and war correspondents in the industry, who often travel to dangerous areas to collect information and ensure sources.

"Today is the anniversary of my parents' death. My eldest sister and youngest sister should go back to Old Factory Street to pay their respects."

Qin Shi's tone was flat, and not much emotion could be heard from it.

Kang Yuner was silent. She knew the other party's family background.

My parents were originally factory workers, but later they were laid off and then both died in the military factory explosion.

This is also the reason why Kang Yuner gave up interviewing Zhou Yuanchen and hoped to dig deeper into the Qin Dynasty.

As the editor-in-chief of Outlook Weekly, she used her sharp intuition to believe that the latter had greater potential for public recognition.

Because of Qin Shi's existence, he is a microcosm of the vast majority of Hengzhou's workers' children.

"Hengzhou is a resource-intensive administrative region. In the ancient imperial era, Hengzhou had once seen a massive reclamation movement. History books say that the land was open and the population increased. At that time, warlords ruled the country, and many refugees who could not bear the heavy taxes of the empire came here on the smuggling ships of merchants."

Kang Yuner's red motorcycle passed through the Shimen Archway, and the rumbling sound of the engine attracted attention.

“But the empire completely collapsed and disintegrated, and the war with the Star God caused the four alliance regions of Hengzhou, Yuanzhou, Liaozhou, and Mengzhou to fall. It was not until the Nine Marshals launched a great expedition that they recaptured them and built a border defense line.

The mineral resources of Hengzhou, the energy of Liaozhou, and the animal husbandry and machinery industries of Mengzhou and Yuanzhou are all the cornerstones of the new Republic of China. "

Qin Shi nodded slightly. Hengzhou had indeed been glorious for a while. It was not only the hometown of old martial arts, but also one of the earliest administrative stars to develop.

“Unfortunately, on the one hand, due to the birth of Hengzhou’s Star God once again, the energy has been blocked and it is no longer possible to maintain rapid development; on the other hand, Dongxia’s policy inclination towards the Big Dipper Star Region has also caused the so-called Four Alliance regions to stagnate.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the Four Alliances area must become the primary line of defense against the Dongxia territory. To some extent, they are a huge war outpost. "

As they entered the old factory street, Kang Yuner pushed the scooter as she walked forward.

She turned her head and looked at Qin Shi:
"The Great Crusade is almost over, and within Dongxia, there have been calls for a truce. The Nine Marshals have been asleep for thousands of years, and many people believe that the disaster of the Iron People caused by the Gear Emperor and the complete victory in the war against the Star Gods can bring this long-lasting Great Crusade to a successful conclusion.

Therefore, the Imperial Capital is considering launching the "Border Revitalization" plan. Opening the blockade of Hengzhou is the first step. In the future, the regiment will be stationed, more base cities will be established, and a large number of people will be extradited to carry out the second round of reclamation and construction. "

Qin Shi never expected that Editor-in-Chief Kang not only had clear analysis, but also had a grasp of deeper information and spoke frankly to him.

"Why is Ms. Kang telling me this?"

He was a little puzzled.

Kang Yuner said seriously:

“It is undeniable that Dongxia is a huge regime, a war machine that the galaxy fears, and a young giant that has grown again from the flesh and blood of the past.

But it does not mean that all people only identify themselves as Dongxia citizens. People often divide into camps based on regions, and even use it to distinguish between different classes.

If the grand plan to revitalize the border is launched, Hengzhou will be the first to bear the brunt. The entire Four Alliances region has been silent for thousands of years. Compared with the ancient times and turbulent times, there are too few legends of people who were born and raised here and then rose to the top. "

Qin Shi was silent.

During the time of the Dongxia Empire, Hengzhou was a place with many tough and valiant people. Especially during the period of warlord separatism, several powerful figures emerged and left their names in history!

But it is an indisputable fact that after being recovered by the Great Yuan Army, it declined for a long time.

“I am telling you this to tell you why I was willing to wait for a month and why I wanted to do this exclusive interview.

You can become a supernova in Hengzhou, and even more so, a rising star in martial arts in the Four Alliances! Use your experience and your future to speak for the border defense line that seems to have been forgotten by the people of New Dongxia!
Let their voices reach Haizhou, reach the capital, and resound throughout the Milky Way... This is what I hope for. My interview with you is at best a fire, but how bright it burns in the end depends on the pile of firewood. "

Qin Shi became even more silent.

He sensed a hint of fanaticism in Kang Yuner's words.

"Ms. Kang, I... don't look like the kind of idol that can set off a star-chasing craze in the Four Alliances."

Qin Shi said hesitantly.

"You can be."

Kang Yuner raised the corner of her mouth.

“And I have a feeling you’d be perfect for this mission.

Don't worry, I, Kang Yuner, will absolutely abide by the professional ethics of a journalist and seek truth from facts.

In the days ahead, I will follow you, dig into you, and explore you in all aspects…” Qin Shi’s face twitched. Editor-in-Chief Kang, who looked dashing and heroic, said this like a female pervert.

"If Tai'an Metropolitan Area thinks it's appropriate, I have no objection."

Qin Shi shrugged. His past life was dull and unremarkable.

No matter how hard Kang Yoon-ah digs, she can't find any dark history.

While they were talking, they had already walked into Baogong Street.

Even after experiencing several changes, the neighbors still live a life that is not much different from before.

The only difference is that the old man who was enjoying the cool air changed from wearing a white vest and flip-flops to long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and the old radio was also replaced and no longer made a buzzing sound.

The mottled alleys on both sides have been painted, and the old houses have been renovated. The overall appearance is much better than before.

The most important thing is that the previously cluttered shantytowns were demolished and rebuilt, replacing them with bright and spacious new houses.

“The Old Factory Street renovation project is progressing quite well.”

Qin Shi nodded.

When he arrived at Baogong Street, someone finally recognized him.

"Hours? Is it hours?!"

"I think so! He seems a bit taller!"

"Hurry up and call Xiao out to see if he is her brother!"

"I remember that I was very successful when I was little. Last time, I came back in a high-ranking official's car..."

"That's right, I brought my sisters to live in the urban area. I was very capable when I was young!"

The neighbors are very welcoming, and the Old Factory Street and the Tai'an urban area seem to be two different worlds apart.

The people over there were all talking about the successor of Nanhuang Dojo, the top-100 contestant, and the enrollment at the four national universities.

And here, Qin Shi is Qin Xiao's younger brother, a good boy who studies hard, and the most promising child of an employee.

The above identities seem to be more important and more obvious.

"Ah Xiao, come out quickly, your little brother is back! He brought a little sister with him!"

Following the enthusiastic neighbors' shouts and calls, Qin Xiao, who was washing vegetables, hurried out of the alley without wiping his hands. When he looked up, he saw Qin Shi in the crowd.

"I heard from Zhou Ning that you had a lot of schoolwork and were busy participating in some competitions, so I didn't let Xiao Lan call you."

Qin Xiao glanced at Editor-in-Chief Kang who was standing next to Qin Shi. His bright and confident face made her retract her hand and wipe the water stains with the hem of her clothes.

"Sister, we have to celebrate this day together every year."

Qin Shi walked over with a smile and introduced:

"This is a reporter from the TV station. You can just call her Miss Kang. Let's go back to the house and talk."

Qin Xiao nodded, wondering what the relationship was between his brother and the powerful Kang Yuner.

Although dating before the college entrance examination is a disaster for parents.

But according to Zhou Ning, his grades as a child ranked first in Xinyi Middle School and he was sure to be admitted to Qiguang Hengda.

It shouldn't delay your studies.

On the contrary, this family condition looks so shabby to other girls, they might even look down on him?
Qin Xiao was confused and said:
"The job you found for me before was much more relaxed than before. But I sat in the office for too long, watching the incoming and outgoing goods every day, and I felt it was not suitable for me to get such a high salary."

Qin Shi said with a smile:

"For logistics, it's very important to count the warehouse and keep accounts, and you have to find reliable people for all these. Sister, didn't I enroll you in night school? Once you learn how to operate the program table, you can go to the workshop and become a cadre. The old factory street is going to rebuild the factory, and they will definitely recruit a large number of middle-level managers."

Qin Xiao's eyes sparkled. The indelible mark of children of workers is the recognition of labor and the yearning for a stable job.

Hearing her brother say this, Qin Xiao had more thoughts in her heart. She took Qin Shi's hand and crossed the threshold of the new house, whispering:

"I don't understand a lot of things. Let Xiaolan teach me slowly. The salary of the workshop cadres is stable. I will save some money for you..."

She glanced at Kang Yuner and said:
"College costs a lot, I have to save some money for you."

Qin Shi shook his head and said:
"Your brother is on scholarship, so he has no place to spend the money."

He had never told his family that the total amount of his financial aid from the Education Commission and sponsorship from the Wushu Association was nearly 2 billion. Especially since he had won the first place in the top 100 competition, if he was willing to cooperate with a large company, the signing fee would be astronomical.

It's not that they concealed it on purpose, but for the elder sister who lived in the old factory street since she was a child and dropped out of school early to work as a laborer, these things were too dreamy. Even if they were explained clearly, the elder sister would still feel uneasy. She couldn't even imagine what it would look like with 2 billion Dongxia currency in front of her.

"That won't work. What if... you have a girlfriend?"

Qin Xiao muttered softly.

"Sister, you misunderstood. Miss Kang was interviewing me. I won first place in that competition, and the Metropolitan Circle is preparing to launch a publicity campaign, so they sent her here."

Qin Shi smiled.

"Is that so? I think the teacher Lin who came here before is more suitable. She is a very nice person and speaks gently, but her family conditions are too good. I heard from Aunt Zhou that the car she drives is worth several million..."

Qin Xiao invited Kang Yuner to come in and sit down, while she kept mumbling to Qin Shi, like a worried mother.

"Brother! Why are you back?"

Qin Lan came out from the inner room and was surprised to see Qin Shi.

She knows a lot of information and is more aware of the inside story.

"I haven't seen you for a month since the Top 100 Tournament ended. Zhou Ning said you performed so well that you asked the teacher in the central city to stay and continue your studies? He also said you were going to enter the Four National Universities!"

Qin Lan's tone was excited. He circled around Qin Shi, glanced at Kang Yuner, and suddenly said excitedly:

"Outlook Weekly! Are you Kang Yuner? I often watch your column..."

Kang Yuner tilted her head and smiled:
"Thank you for your support. I didn't expect to meet fans here."

Qin Lan chattered like a little fangirl seeing her idol:
"Many students in our class have subscribed to your exclusive column, and the teacher even circulated several of your reports in public!"

Kang Yuner looked at Qin Shi, who had a headache and seemed to feel noisy, and said softly:

"Then you will soon be able to see an article about your brother on the front page of the weekly magazine."

Before the youngest Qin Lan could make a sharp noise, Qin Shi turned to his eldest sister Qin Xiao and said:
"I'm going to go visit Lao Liang first. I have something to give to him in person! You guys should eat first, don't wait for me!"

After saying that, he disappeared out the door in a flash.

Three women make a drama, and he really doesn't want to let his ears endure this torture.

"Xiao Lan, can you tell me about your brother?"

Seeing Qin Shi leaving, Kang Yuner's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she habitually took out a pen and notebook.

She firmly believes that the more ordinary the background, the more likely it is to give birth to a legend that shocks the public.

He Lanchan died young, but he was never surpassed by Qi Wuxiang, who is still alive. Why is that?

Because the success of the latter seems to be taken for granted;

The rise of the former is more like a wonderful story with ups and downs, full of lingering aftertaste and room for exploration, which makes people unforgettable for a long time.
