After leaving, he wandered around for a while and bought himself a Patek Philippe watch, spending another two hundred thousand or so.
After that, shopping became rather dull. Few men enjoyed shopping, especially not a single guy like him.
Seeing that it was getting late, he simply went back to his hometown.
Chu Feng still had not figured out how to tell his family that he had bought a house today, and such an expensive one at that. There would probably be more shock than surprise.
Just two days ago, they had been discussing pooling money for Chu Feng, and today he had bought a house worth several million?
"Son, you look really sharp!"
Seeing how handsome her son looked, Liu Yun felt proud as well. Of course, she was delighted.
"Yeah, I had to discuss some business, so I needed to dress better."
"That's right. You really do look sharp."
That evening, the family of four ate dinner together.
Chu Feng cautiously spoke up. "Dad, Mom, the company said they'd provide me with a house and a car in the center of Hailing City. I'll probably be able to move into the house in the next couple of days."
His parents were stunned for a moment.
Hadn't he said just two days ago that the company had only been founded? Why did he already have a house and a car?
"Xiao Feng, what exactly does your company do? Didn't you say it had just been established?"
His mother asked carefully. His father wore a serious expression, while his grandmother could not get a word in and remained silent.
Chu Feng knew it was not that his family did not believe him. They simply thought he was too young and worried that he might go down the wrong path.
After all, their life experience and knowledge were their greatest assets.
In today's society, some people would stop at nothing to make money, and none of them ended well.
Chu Feng had only just graduated, and they were afraid that his lack of experience would leave him vulnerable to being deceived.
"Dad, Mom, Grandma, don't worry. My company is a software company. One of the programs we developed is very popular right now, so the dividends are substantial. The company is expanding rapidly, and since I live too far from the office, they provided me with a villa and a car. They count as company property for now, but once I receive dividends in the future, they'll belong entirely to me."
He did not dare say that he had bought them himself, so he could only make something up...
"My grandson is amazing. You two are worrying for nothing. I raised my grandson myself, so don't I know what kind of child he is? He's smart and quick-witted. How could he possibly be fooled? We're going to enjoy the good life now."
His grandmother broke the silence. The older generation devoted their entire lives to their descendants. As long as the younger generation could live well, they were happier than anything.
"That's good. When I have time, I'll go take a look at where my son works."
His father spoke with a meaningful tone. He wanted to see where his son worked too, because it all seemed rather unbelievable.
Only then did the atmosphere at the dinner table become lively. If their son truly was this capable, then as parents, they naturally felt proud.
"Then, Dad, Mom, Grandma, when you have time, move into the new house. Someone should be there anyway, and it'll be more convenient for me to get to work. The company headquarters will move there in a few days. I'll find an opportunity to arrange a job for Dad there. Don't be a welder anymore. It's exhausting and bad for your health. Mom and Grandma should come too. I still like Mom's cooking, and I like living with Grandma."
"Alright, I'll listen to my son. I'll resign tomorrow." His father answered cheerfully.
"Now we get to ride our son's coattails." His mother and grandmother replied happily as well.
That was what parents were like. Without even seeing it, they wholeheartedly supported their child.
"Special report: A small meteorite fell into the East China Sea today. Someone captured the spectacular scene of its descent. Experts stated that it was a large meteorite that had not previously been detected and appeared very suddenly!"
"Based on the images, this meteorite is estimated to be a cigar-shaped object roughly one hundred meters long. Meteorites falling into the East China Sea are exceedingly rare. Fortunately, for reasons unknown, it descended very slowly and caused no casualties or property damage. However, due to the meteorite, waves in the East China Sea are expected to reach five to seven meters today. The impact site will be designated a no-navigation zone. The location is as follows..."
What followed was footage of the meteorite's descent. It had clearly been filmed on a phone, and someone nearby was even shouting about making wishes on a shooting star.
But Chu Feng stared fixedly at the footage. Though it was blurry and shaky, he recognized it at once.
What meteorite or shooting star was this?
It was clearly the interstellar spaceship he had been traveling in!
Xiao Meng also issued a notification, saying she had received a weak spaceship signal.
Without showing any reaction, Chu Feng finished dinner and returned to his room.
"Xiao Meng, didn't our spaceship explode? We passed through the spacetime storm in an escape pod. And even if the spaceship hadn't crashed, it shouldn't have arrived only now. It's been so many days already."
"Master, spacetime storms are one of the universe's ten greatest unsolved mysteries. Although Planet Taibo possessed interstellar travel technology, it never figured out the causes or consequences of spacetime storms. Everyone who encountered one never returned, nor did any information come back, so they were considered nothing more than catastrophic disasters."
"Therefore, people from Planet Taibo generally chose relatively stable interstellar jump coordinates, ones established through long-term testing and experience. But Master's Earth had only been discovered for the first time, with no stable route to confirm, which was why we encountered the spacetime storm."
"And now, Master and I actually passed through the spacetime storm and returned to many years ago. This was something that had never happened in recorded history. After all, time machines had always been a research subject on Planet Taibo, but they were classified secrets that ordinary people could never access."
Xiao Meng was merely an ordinary personal assistant AI and could not possibly come into contact with such profound classified matters.
"Time really is miraculous. And because we passed through the spacetime storm at different times, the results were different, which is why the spaceship arrived so much later."
"Then wouldn't other civilizations also be able to come through this spacetime storm?"
Chu Feng grew somewhat anxious. His homeland, Earth, was at best a Level 1 civilization. Even leaving Earth was difficult for it.
If it were truly discovered by other advanced civilizations, the consequences would be hard to predict.
Civilizational invasion was no joke. To those advanced civilizations, Earth was merely an infant still in swaddling clothes, incapable of resistance.
Those so-called ultimate weapons would be nothing more than toys to advanced civilizations.
Chu Feng had once watched a documentary on Planet Taibo.
It detailed the conquest of a Level 3 civilization.
That Level 3 civilization had already been capable of traveling across star systems. However, its plundering extraction had completely destroyed many lower-level planets, so Planet Taibo claimed the moral high ground and directly attacked that Level 3 civilization.
Planet Taibo was a Level 10 civilization. It had not even deployed its main forces, sending only one maintenance-class interstellar warship, equivalent to a police unit in China today.
That single warship's main cannon, a powerful ion storm cannon, instantly wiped out the Level 3 civilization's main fleet.
Meanwhile, the enemy's main cannons failed to deplete even 10% of the Planet Taibo warship's shield energy. It could not even be called a battle. It was simply a crushing defeat.
In the end, that civilization was nearly beaten back into primitive society. The terror and disparity between them had been far too obvious.
Although Planet Taibo was a Level 10 civilization and relatively moderate, no longer actively invading other planets, it had still risen through primitive accumulation by stepping over the corpses of others. The strong devouring the weak was universal throughout the universe.
"Master, you're worrying too much. Other warships would avoid a spacetime storm as soon as they discovered one. Who would think of crashing into it? Only because Master had desperately wanted to return and was willing to risk your life to force your way in did this happen. Otherwise, after all these years, could Earth still have existed so peacefully?"
Xiao Meng's words reassured Chu Feng somewhat.
He truly had let concern cloud his judgment. After all, this concerned his homeland.
But now that the spaceship had been discovered, he needed to retrieve it. It contained quite a few good things he had accumulated, and it would be the foundation of his future survival.
Moreover, he had become somewhat lazy. He could not place his hopes on luck to protect him.
To forge iron, one had to be strong oneself. He needed to pick up the pace.
