Chen Feng was continuously setting up his own Production Lines. In other words, he was increasing his efforts in the hope of producing Human Prosthetic Limbs. What he had his sights set on now was human arms and legs.

Human limbs were extremely important. Without them, a person lost even the most basic ability to survive. Even if someone placed food in front of them, they might not be able to eat it.

That was why Chen Feng directly set his sights on human limbs. However, researching such things was extremely complicated, and his Artificial Intelligence was still continuously learning and optimizing.

The Production Equipment was also quite complicated. Just procuring all that equipment gave him a headache, so Liu Qiuya made a suggestion.

"Boss, I think we should put this plan on hold for a while. Our funds are accumulating rapidly now, and before long, we'll be able to invest enough into it. There's no need to neglect the essentials for this. What we need to do now is expand our Production Lines."

After hearing that, Chen Feng nodded. Only now did he understand just how complicated it was to manufacture something truly high-tech. A 3D Printer could not produce Human Prosthetic Limbs. Their structure was simply too complex, and they had to be printed as a single piece. If they were printed in separate parts and then assembled, it absolutely would not work.

He wondered whether upgrading the 3D Printer to its ultimate version would produce better results and allow it to print a complete Human Prosthetic Limb. However, he only had the basic version now, so it did not have that capability. His system had not told him how to upgrade it either, which left Chen Feng in a difficult position.

Thus, he could only create specialized Production Lines for Human Prosthetic Limbs. But judging by the current situation, that plan would have to wait for a while.

What Chen Feng needed to do first was expand his Production Lines and increase the production capacity of his Virtual Reality Helmets. That way, he could meet market demand.

"Alright, no problem. We'll proceed according to that plan. You have my full support."

If Chen Feng did not work on Human Prosthetic Limbs for the time being, he would have nothing to do. Just then, he received a call from his grandfather, Chen Tiancheng.

"Grandson, when are you coming home for a visit? You haven't been back in a long time. Haven't you noticed? It's already been several months. What exactly have you been doing?"

"No problem, Grandpa. I'll come back tonight."

After hanging up, Chen Feng felt rather ashamed. He had been far too busy lately and simply had not gone home. He decided to make time to return that evening. After all, there was nothing much for him to handle at the moment.

That afternoon, after giving Liu Qiuya and Cao Deming their instructions, he drove straight home. Once he arrived, he found his grandfather staring at him with a stern expression.

"What is it? Did something happen?"

Chen Feng was somewhat at a loss, because his parents were also sitting silently on the sofa.

"Son, we learned about what you've been doing recently from television. It truly came as a huge surprise to us."

"Yeah. Your Virtual Reality Helmet really caught us off guard. Of course, what surprised us the most was your Rising Star project. That's no small matter."

His parents kept praising Chen Feng, making him feel rather embarrassed.

Yet their expressions never relaxed. After a while, his grandfather said to him,

"We hesitated a little before calling you back when you're so busy, but there's something we still need to tell you. When you have time, go visit your cousin."

Chen Feng had a cousin named Chen Qingyi. Other than her, he had no other female cousins; most of his cousins were boys, though he also had quite a few older female cousins.

"Did something happen to Chen Qingyi?"

"Yes. Your cousin was in a car accident recently."

The moment he heard those words, Chen Feng felt his head buzz. He and his cousin had grown up together.

"How could this happen?"

"The details are that someone was driving drunk and hit Chen Qingyi..."

Chen Feng's grandfather explained for a while, telling him that a drunk driver had struck Chen Qingyi. The driver had fled the scene, and the culprit had still not been found.

Chen Qingyi's injuries were quite severe. He did not yet know the exact details, which was why they had hurriedly called Chen Feng back. They hoped he could find time to visit her and help if he could.

After all, he knew his grandson's capabilities. Now that Chen Feng had money, he should help if he could. They were family, and they had supported one another in the past. Now that her family was in trouble, they could not simply ignore them.

"No problem. I'll go visit Chen Qingyi tomorrow."

After he nodded, they urged Chen Feng to get some rest. He must have exhausted himself lately, and Chen Feng truly had been worn out. He had barely rested at all during this period.

The next day, he got up early. He had to visit his cousin that day. His grandfather and father were going with him as well.

They had originally planned to take a taxi downstairs, but then they saw that Chen Feng had a car parked below the building.

"Is this your car? Or does it belong to the company?"

It was a fully equipped BMW X7. The moment his grandfather and father saw it, they could not take their eyes off it. They loved it; no man disliked cars.

"Of course I bought it myself. I have money now, so isn't buying a car perfectly normal? If you want one, I'll get each of you one too."

Chen Feng's grandfather and father frowned when they heard that, and his grandfather said to Chen Feng,

"Having money doesn't mean you should squander it like this. Remember to remain humble and steady, or you won't go far."

"That's right, son. You can't go wrong listening to your grandfather."

Chen Feng nodded as well. He was only feeling a little proud, that was all. Then he drove his father and grandfather toward the hospital. The hospital where his cousin was staying was Ning City Central Hospital. They soon arrived at Ning City Central Hospital and found her ward, only to discover that she was still in the intensive care unit. They did see her mother, his aunt.

Seeing how haggard his aunt looked, Chen Feng felt terribly upset. His aunt had always treated him very well.
