Chapter 411 Taking a break after interstellar infrastructure construction: "adult children"
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Yichen leaned back on the leather sofa, looking at the shimmering artificial lake on the Martian equator in the holographic projection.
Ripples spread across the water's surface in the gentle breeze, while nearby, construction workers wielded their robotic arms to level the foundation.
He raised his hand to turn off the projector and rubbed his neck. After a month of intense mental strain, overseeing the interstellar infrastructure and Mars terraforming projects, even with the gene evolution serum, he needed a mental break.
"Alright, the first phase on Mars is complete. The rest is up to Ling'er to proceed according to the blueprints." Li Yichen stood up and walked to the center of the living room. "Staring at those lumps of metal and data reports every day is making my eyes bulge. Let's take a break and get some fresh air."
In the living room, Ji Yanran was checking next month's financial budget on her tablet, while Liu Xue was helping her organize documents. Hearing this, the two of them looked up at the same time.
"A holiday?" Ji Yanran placed the tablet on the coffee table. "How could such a word come from the mouth of a workaholic like you? Just a few days ago you were saying you wouldn't rest until you dug out that planet-destroying cannon from beneath Mars. Has the sun risen in the west today?"
"Brother, where shall we go?" Li Niannian came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of cut fruit and placed it on the table.
Liu Xiaoyu and Xue Shanshan also came over and started offering suggestions all at once.
"How about going to an island? I bought several new swimsuits but haven't had a chance to wear them. How about we charter a yacht in Sanya and go out to sea?" Xiao Yuqing suggested, leaning against the sofa armrest.
Li Yichen waved his hand: "What's so fun about the beach? The other day we were fighting those monsters in the East China Sea. Dozens of airships crashed into the sea, polluting the water. It's disgusting to look at. Let's go somewhere more down-to-earth and reconnect with nature."
Miao Miao ran over, clutching a plush toy, and grabbed Li Yichen's trouser leg, shaking it: "Brother, I want to ride a giant roller coaster! The kind that spins around and around in the sky like they do on TV!"
Li Yichen bent down and scooped the little girl into his arms, pinching her nose: "Okay, I'll listen to Miaomiao. Let's go to H City, a water town in Jiangnan. It has the largest theme park in the country. We can stroll around the old streets and eat some authentic local food while we're there."
"Yay!" Miao Miao cheered and hugged Li Yichen's neck, giving him a big kiss.
The women had no objections and immediately took out their phones to browse travel guides for H City, discussing what clothes and sunscreen to bring.
The next morning, at the theme park in H City.
The sun was shining brightly, and the park was bustling with activity, filled with staff dressed in brightly colored mascot costumes and laughing tourists.
At the exit of the "Extreme Speed Coaster" attraction, several young people who had just gotten off the car were leaning against the railing, gagging, and their faces were pale.
Li Yichen carried Miao Miao in one arm and held a cup of iced bubble tea in the other, slowly walking out of the exit passage.
He took a sip of milk tea through the straw, his expression unchanged, not even a single hair out of place.
A male college student next to him, who had been vomiting violently, straightened up, wiped the sour liquid from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Li Yichen's back with his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"Holy crap... Dude, you were sitting in the first row, weren't you?" The college student's voice trembled as he pointed to the towering tracks behind him. "That's a vertical 90-degree drop plus three consecutive inverted loops, and you didn't even spill your milk tea?"
Li Yichen stopped, glanced at him, and smiled: "Not bad, just not fast enough."
The college student swallowed hard and gave a thumbs up: "You're amazing, your vestibular nerve must be made of iron."
Li Yichen ignored the astonishment of those around him. This level of overload was hardly even a warm-up for him.
Miao Miao danced excitedly, pointing at the drop tower in the distance and shouting, "Brother, I want to ride that one that goes straight up and down!"
"Come on, let's have some fun today." Li Yichen picked her up and walked towards the drop tower.
For the next two hours, he accompanied Miao Miao to visit all the attractions in the park that were labeled "extreme" or "horror".
While others screamed until their voices were hoarse on the giant pendulum ride, he leisurely calculated the bearing wear rate of the equipment in mid-air.
Inside the haunted house, the NPC dressed as a ghost had just jumped out when he was so intimidated by the aura emanating from the ghost that he took two steps back and almost knocked over the prop wall.
This amusement park, filled with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, is filled with the sweetness of cotton candy and the aroma of popcorn. There is no oppressive alien fleet, no interstellar racing at hundreds of Mach.
As Li Yichen walked among the crowd, listening to the laughter and chatter around him, a long-lost sense of peace welled up in his heart.
This is what he painstakingly tried to protect by building starships, creating shields, and developing weapons of mass destruction.
On the main road of the amusement park, Ji Yanran and her friends were gathered in front of a stall selling handmade ice cream.
To avoid trouble, they changed into the most ordinary casual clothes before going out, and wore large sun hats and sunglasses.
But that couldn't diminish their radiance.
After undergoing fundamental reshaping with gene evolution serum, their skin became so fair and delicate that even pores were invisible, and their body proportions were optimized to the physical limits of humanity.
Ji Yanran wore a simple white T-shirt and high-waisted jeans, her waistline was incredibly slim, and her legs were long and straight.
Liu Xue wore a light-colored long dress, exuding a cool and noble temperament.
Xue Shanshan and Liu Xiaoyu are full of youthful energy, walking on the street like moving luminous bodies.
Tourists passing by frequently turned their heads to look back, and many boys even bumped into nearby trash cans and lampposts.
"Those women are absolutely awful! Are they celebrities going on a private trip?"
"She looks so good even with sunglasses on, her figure is absolutely amazing! Want to ask for her WeChat?"
Several young men who considered themselves good-looking pushed and shoved each other, trying to approach and strike up a conversation.
Li Yichen carried Miaomiao over.
He didn't speak, but calmly swept his gaze over the few eager young men.
Even though he tried to suppress it, the aura of someone who had been through the business world and war was still palpable, and the oppressive feeling of a superior was still palpable.
Several young men stopped abruptly when he glanced at them, cold sweat breaking out on their backs. They quickly lowered their heads and slunk away.
"Why did you take so long?" Ji Yanran handed over a strawberry-flavored ice cream.
Li Yichen took the ice cream and handed it to Miao Miao: "This girl has so much energy, she rode the giant swing three times in a row."
Xiao Yuqing took off her sunglasses and fanned herself with her hand: "It's too hot today, and there are too many people in the park. Shall we go somewhere else? I just looked it up, and there's a century-old private restaurant in H City called 'Wangjianglou,' I heard their squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is absolutely amazing."
Li Niannian rubbed her stomach: "I'm hungry too. I only had a hamburger for lunch, which wasn't filling at all."
"Alright, let's go to Wangjiang Tower then," Li Yichen decided.
It was evening in the old town of H city.
Along the streets paved with bluestone slabs, Hui-style buildings with white walls and black tiles are arranged in a well-organized manner.
Miao Miao had been playing wildly at the amusement park all afternoon and was now completely exhausted. She was fast asleep on Li Yichen's shoulder, her little mouth slightly open and drooling.
Li Yichen carried her with one hand, walking at the front.
Wangjiang Tower is located on the banks of an inland river. It is a three-story wooden building in the style of ancient times, with two large red lanterns hanging in front of the door. It looks quite old.
As the group entered the lobby, the manager immediately came to greet them. Having served countless guests over the years, he possessed a keen eye and instantly recognized the extraordinary bearing of this group, especially the young man at the front. Though casually dressed, his composed demeanor was something no ordinary family could cultivate.
"Gentlemen, do you have any reservations?" the manager asked politely.
"No." Li Yichen looked around the lobby. "Give us two tables by the window on the second floor, and reserve a nice area."
"Alright, please come upstairs, everyone." The manager led the way.
The second floor offers an excellent view; you can see the covered boats on the river outside by opening the carved wooden windows.
It was lunchtime, and the second-floor hall was filled with diners, most of whom were well-dressed and looked wealthy and powerful.
Li Yichen placed Miaomiao on the soft seat against the wall and took off his coat to cover her up.
Ji Yanran and the other girls took their seats and started ordering from the menu.
"Two squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, one serving each of West Lake vinegar fish, beggar's chicken, and Longjing shrimp," Liu Xiaoyu ordered quickly, flipping through the menu.
Li Yichen leaned back in his chair, poured a cup of tea from the purple clay teapot on the table, and slowly blew on it to warm it.
The evening breeze blowing in through the window, carrying the moist scent of the river, was very relaxing.
A commotion came from the next table.
It was a semi-private room separated by a carved wooden screen, where four or five young men and women were sitting. The table was covered with empty wine bottles, and the men were all flushed from drinking.
The young man at the head of the group was wearing a custom-made Givenchy suit, a Richard Miller bracelet on his wrist, and his hair was slicked back. He was holding a glass of red wine and boasting to his companion.
"Young Master Chen, you've really gone to great lengths for this meal today. The top-tier banquet at Wangjiang Tower usually requires a two-week waiting list to book." A fat man who looked like a lackey offered a fawning toast.
Chen Shao waved his hand and let out a burp: "No problem, I'm so rich I only have money left. After we finish eating, I'll take you guys to Lan Kwai Fong for a booth, and we can keep drinking!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look outside the screen, his gaze falling on Ji Yanran and Liu Xue through the openwork gaps.
Chen Shao's eyes widened immediately.
Although he was accompanied by two heavily made-up female companions, compared to Ji Yanran and the other women outside, they were like chickens compared to phoenixes.
Whether it's Ji Yanran's cool and aloof demeanor as a female CEO or Liu Xue's calm and collected temperament after experiencing life and death, both possess a fatal attraction.
Not to mention the visual impact of these women sitting together; it's impossible to look away.
Chen Shao pushed aside his female companion and stood up unsteadily.
"Young Master Chen, where are we going?" the fat man asked.
"I've run into a real gem. I'll go say hello." Chen Shao had a wicked smile on his lips. Holding a wine glass, he walked around the screen and headed straight for Li Yichen's table.
Ji Yanran was discussing with Liu Xiaoyu where to go to the night market when she noticed someone approaching and frowned.
Chen Shao walked to the table, his eyes scanning the women with unbridled lewdness.
He glanced at Li Yichen, who was sitting in the main seat.
Li Yichen was dressed very simply today, in a black windbreaker without any logos and a pair of casual trousers. In the eyes of this young master Chen, who was decked out in designer brands, he looked like a poor student who had mistakenly wandered into a high-end restaurant.
The lively atmosphere of the amusement park and the elegant, antique decor of Wangjiang Tower were shattered at this moment by the jarring footsteps and the smell of alcohol.
Chen Shao slammed his wine glass on the table, spilling a few drops of red wine onto the pristine white tablecloth.
"Hey, ladies," Chen Shao drawled, his tone laced with arrogance, "this poor bastard can't possibly afford to treat you to the restaurant's signature dishes. How about we share a table? Chen Shao will pay for the whole thing tonight!"
A greasy sound came from the table.
Li Yichen's action of pouring tea froze in mid-air; the spout of the purple clay teapot hung suspended, and the tea flow stopped.
