Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

The two had completely unequal childhoods, which led to their current emotional state.

“We think this place is great. It's close to the tattoo shop, so there's no need to move to another place. Even if we have money in the future, we might as well buy this two-bedroom apartment so we won't have to pay rent anymore!”

Even the tattoo shop is the same; once we buy it, we no longer have to worry about landlords suddenly raising the rent. This is truly our family's property!

Shen Qiangwei said that although this is the case, if one carefully thinks and recalls the various things that have happened to Zhang Chaoqiang's name in elementary schools over the years...

The surrounding shops and houses had all raised their rents several times, but only Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong's houses and shops had not seen any rent increases.

They just didn't notice; it wasn't a real problem at all.

Faced with Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong's persistence, Zhang Chaoqiang developed a lot of affection for this place, which was only fifty or sixty square meters, after living here for so many years.

After some thought, they tentatively suggested, "There are other houses near Weilong Tattoo Shop, and those houses are bigger and newer!" But faced with Zhang Chaoqiang's temptation, they simply shook their heads.

I've always developed a strong affection for this place.

These are things that will not change no matter how much time passes.

After all, this house holds too many memories for Zhang Chaoqiang throughout his life. If they were to suddenly move away from here, it would be like starting a new life all over again.

Zhang Chaoqiang's family, which had been settled down, naturally did not want this situation to happen, as his parents.

Under Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong's insistence, Zhang Chaoqiang agreed to their choice, although they were still preventing Zhang Chaoqiang from interfering in their attempt to buy a house for them.

But Zhang Chaoqiang completely ignored their attempts to stop him. That evening, he made an excuse to go downstairs for a walk, but in reality, he just went up to the rooftop to look for his landlord.

The landlord told him that this place was closer to the city center, and the rent was not expensive, but if he wanted to buy it, it would be very expensive, even reaching 30,000 yuan per square meter.

The house is about 60 square meters, and the price is 3 yuan per square meter, so the total is 180 million yuan, plus other miscellaneous expenses.

The two million he had was just enough to cover this expense.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang did not rush to tell the landlord about this matter, but instead planned to compare prices from different places first.

Only after he had completed the certification exam for the Artificial Crystal Core Synthesizer did he begin to consider buying a house.

He originally planned to buy a large house of at least 200 square meters, but unfortunately, his parents had probably been used to hardship since childhood. Well, it's not so much hardship as it is a matter of wealth.

Generally speaking, such people are unwilling and unable to adapt to a sudden improvement in their quality of life and a rapid increase in material wealth. This makes them feel a strong sense of incongruity and a great sense of unease.

Super Strong can completely understand this situation and is not in a hurry to correct their thinking at this moment.

Let them gradually adapt to the changing material conditions over time, since they are already considered a well-off family in some respects.

Even if it might not seem like much to those wealthy and influential families, it's enough to achieve a level that's hard for ordinary people to reach, except for those large-scale entrepreneurs.

Otherwise, whether in terms of influence or overall strength, they are completely incomparable to Zhang Chaoqiang's family.

On the second day of the artificial crystal nucleus synthesizer qualification exam, Zhang Chaoqiang waited downstairs at dawn.

Ma Suying, who teaches science and technology, came to pick him up in person. Su Huoyin, the principal of the high school department of Yuhua Martial Arts School, was already waiting patiently in the assessment area of ​​the research center in Tianan City.

The entire research center, which spans tens of thousands of square meters and is the venue for the qualification assessment, was completely empty, with not a single student taking the exam.

It is easy to imagine how poor the talent and ability of the new generation in Tianan City are in the field of synthesis.

Soon after Zhang Chaoqiang's arrival, Principal Su Huoyin finally showed a joyful smile, and the once deserted research center gradually began to show some vitality.

After Zhang Chaoqiang arrived, the staff at the research center examined his basic physical condition.

Generally speaking, students who want to obtain a Synthesizer qualification must be at least 16 years old.

However, considering that Zhang Chaoqiang's overall strength and mental level far exceed those of his peers, and that he can match or even surpass high school students.

Therefore, they removed the restriction on Zhang Chaoqiang and agreed to allow him to take the qualification exam despite his advanced age.

Ma Suying and Su Huoyin's main objective this time was for Zhang Chaoqiang to successfully reach the second stage of the zero-level synthetic master qualification assessment.

In other words, successfully compressing the energy of the first-order crystal nucleus into the artificial crystal nucleus synthesis embryo is the initial threshold and prerequisite for competing for a spot in the Tianan City Synthesis Competition.

Because of Zhang Chaoqiang's performance in science class, his science teacher, Ma Suying, had a lot of confidence in him, because even before…

To be precise, a month ago, he had already successfully purified and compressed the energy of the 12 demon beast crystal cores.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang should at least reach the level of a level 0 second synthesizer. In fact, if we think in terms of genius, Zhang Chaoqiang's strength is probably far more than that.

He had previously attempted to block communication at the third stage of embryonic microscopic molecular structure.

However, Ma Suying always believed that it posed a certain risk to Zhang Chaoqiang, who was not very old, because the tidal backlash caused by the crystal cores during the third stage of synthesis would indeed pose a significant threat to the synthesizer.

So they didn't let him try, but this time, perhaps he can show his true strength.

The research equipment here is more advanced than that at their Yuhua Martial Arts School, and many researchers are qualified as at least second-tier synthesizers.

He was able to rescue Zhang Chaoqiang from danger at a critical moment.

This is also why he is very confident in Zhang Chaoqiang's qualification synthesis master level exam. He even has a vague feeling that Zhang Chaoqiang is not just limited to the zero-level second stage.

He's probably capable of meeting the qualification requirements for Level 0, Stage 3.

Soon, with the guidance of the researchers, Zhang Chaoqiang entered the synthetic space, which had a total area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

The synthesis space here is much larger than the science lab where science classes are held, and the absorption and separation of the energy emitted during synthesis are also more efficient.

Upon entering, Zhang Chaoqiang immediately felt that he had lost his ability to sense the outside world. The researchers told him that this was because this was also another space that had been opened up.

In essence, the terrain and space they were in were not on the same spatial distance or plane as the terrain and space they were in just now.

Subsequently, at the request of the staff, Zhang Chaoqiang went through a series of preparations and actions, and finally he stood directly in front of the synthesis table, with his hands placed on the table.

Principal Su Huoyin and science teacher Ma Suying were able to see the scene Zhang Chaoqiang created clearly.

Soon, the scene was not just the two of them, but also included some high-ranking leaders of Tianan City, including the director of the Tianan City Extraordinary Management Bureau, the mayor, and more than a dozen other leaders.

"Is Zhang Chaoqiang inside?"

The mayor of Tianan City pointed with his withered finger at Zhang Chaoqiang, who was standing in front of the synthesis platform.

Zhang Chaoqiang was facing away from him at the time, which is why he asked such a question.

Principal Su Huoyin nodded to him, and then a dozen or so high-ranking leaders from Tianan City began to whisper among themselves as they talked to each other.

After all, the Synthesizer qualification exam that Zhang Chaoqiang took this time is directly related to whether Tianan City can regain the only spot in this Synthesizer Competition.

They had already heard that Zhang Chaoqiang had demonstrated extraordinary potential and strength in this area.

This matter concerns the first Synthesis Competition, and Tianan City wants to prove itself.

And this idea, of course, can only be realized by Zhang Chaoqiang, who is under 20 years old in the entire Tianan City.

The leaders, who were outside the Synthesis Chamber's alternate dimension, could hear the situation and conversations inside the Synthesis Chamber.

You can also see the images inside, but you won't be disturbed by any external changes, such as sound.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang will not be disturbed by anything outside the synthesis room during the synthesis exam.

There were 20 first-tier crystal cores in front of him, all of which came from different races.

The most basic first-order synthetic crystal core requires at least three different monster crystal cores to purify their energy before being compressed into the artificial synthetic embryo.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't resort to any other tricks in this level exam. He simply refined and synthesized the first-order synthetic crystal core, which had the worst synthesis effect and contained the least energy.

He held three of the demon beast crystal cores in his hand and quickly analyzed and purified the spiritual energy inside.

After all, efficiency is key in everything. He only obtained a qualification certificate, and no matter how good the quality, it wouldn't add any extra points to the certificate. Therefore, he didn't waste his time.

Within minutes, Zhang Chaoqiang had quickly completed the first step, which surprised everyone present.

"He completed the first step of the synthesis in less than five minutes?"

So, he passed the zero-level-one qualification in just five minutes?

Chapter 207 Breaking the National Record

In an instant.

Even the experts at the Tianan City Research Institute began to review the qualification examination records of synthesizers throughout the entire Central Kingdom.

Throughout the entire Central Kingdom, approximately 300,000 Synthesizers have successfully completed the Synthesizer qualification level examination.

However, during the assessment of a synthesizer's level, even the fastest martial artist at the zero-level stage only completed the task in six minutes...

With his exceptional synthesis experience and control over spiritual energy, Zhang Chaoqiang successfully extracted the purest and cleanest spiritual energy from three different races of monster cores of the same level.

In just five minutes, the record of the entire Central Kingdom was pushed forward by a full minute!

"Don't underestimate this mere minute. You should know that the original fastest record was far beyond what a student could achieve; it belonged to a high-level martial artist!"

When synthesis began to emerge, this high-level martial artist dedicated himself to the creation of artificial crystal cores, making significant contributions to the technology of the Central Kingdom!

Ma Suying, who was in Sukhoyin, introduced herself in this way.

Then, Tian'an City Mayor An Xitian nodded and added, "I am well aware that the record holder is one of the most outstanding scientists in our country today, and also one of the top ten fourth-level, first-stage synthesizers..."

Possessing the rank of a ninth-level martial artist and the intermediate level of the ninth layer of spiritual cultivation, this scientist named Xu Shanji is an outstanding figure in my country and even a treasure of the world, regardless of his profession or status…

At this point, not only were the leaders and high-ranking officials outside the synthetic space shocked, but the researchers inside the synthetic space were even more astonished…

Who could have imagined that a mere teenager could possess such skill in controlling the spiritual power of an extraordinary race, a level of mastery that seemed almost innate...

Absolutely breathtaking!

"Record broken! Record broken!"

They really hadn't expected that Zhang Chaoqiang would break the national record for synthesis time with his first move. They were shocked, but they didn't exaggerate their actions or make any noise, so as not to affect Zhang Chaoqiang's subsequent synthesis assessment.

All of this is not solely due to Zhang Chaoqiang's outstanding ability to control spiritual energy, which has reached the level of a second-tier martial artist.

And there's also the added benefit of his [Beast Scent Sense II].

These are monster cores!

If we're talking about who is most familiar with and understands the demon beast crystal core, then is there even a question? Of course, it's the demon beast itself, and Zhang Chaoqiang, who possesses such a talent, is one of them.

With their keen sense of smell combined with excellent control of spiritual power, the monsters achieved a shocking completion time of the first stage, breaking the national record and even surpassing the record of that senior who had three identities and three professions.

That was just the appetizer; the real excitement was yet to come.

Everyone held their breath and focused intently, whether inside or outside the synthesized space, for fear of missing a single one of Zhang Chaoqiang's movements.

The researchers inside, including the second and third-level synthesizers, were also concentrating intently, even though their synthesizer levels were much higher than Zhang Chaoqiang's.

However, anyone who excels in a certain aspect can become their teacher. Previously, they had never seen anyone with such terrifying skill and proficiency in purifying spiritual energy.

They were originally considering how to compete with those students from Longjiang City who wanted to compete for the only spot in the Central National Synthesis Competition in Tianan City.
