My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome

Chapter 166: Chapter 165: I’m Dazzlingly Brilliant and Extremely Noticeable

Whoosh.

Bald Qiang drew the blackout curtains aside, the sudden brightness somewhat dazzling.

Groggy from sleep, Shao Zifeng stood up from the couch, stretching lazily.

One had to say, the training videos from Xiangshan University were boring enough, the same moves over and over, no way to make it more interesting.

Even with Bald Qiang puffing himself up in every pose, urging them to be cautious, over and over, it still didn’t change the drab reality of the videos.

“Let’s call it a day, and you guys won’t need to come in for training these next few days, bring your necessities, there isn’t much in the funds the school allocated to me,” Bald Qiang, holding a thermos, said nonchalantly about the upcoming arrangements, “I will notify you in the group before we set off.”

“Alright, you all must be eager to get home too, so I won’t keep you for lunch.”

Shao Zifeng: …

Li Yiming: …

Actually, there’s no such rush.

…

Upon leaving the residential complex, the surrounding buildings had been completed with the assistance of engineering-type pets; the once-damaged roads were renewed, the evergreen green belts, the hurrying footsteps of passersby, brought thriving vitality to Su City.

Li Yiming followed behind Shao Zifeng, with one hand in his pocket holding down the Chinese Brocade Lobster that wanted to breathe the fresh air. His mood seemed good, a faint smile on his face.

Shao Zifeng glanced at him and slowed down to keep pace, “Yiming, you’ve talked a lot before, is there any administrative unit above the region level?”

“Above region level?” Li Yiming looked puzzled, then asked curiously, “Above that, it’s under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Capital, right?”

“Imperial Capital? Is there no ‘province’?”

“What’s that? Never heard of it.”

“Well…”

“Big brother Shao!” Li Yiming interrupted Shao Zifeng, scratching his head sheepishly, “Actually, what I told you was what my sister told me yesterday. She said it’s always good to know more about related information when going out for competitions.”

Is that so.

Shao Zifeng felt a bit of a headache, thinking he was dealing with a king, but turned out he was as much a bronze player as himself; it looked like Baidu was more reliable.

“You have a sister?”

“Yeah, my sister’s name is Li Yiren, she’s a senior at Su City High School. She knows a lot,” Li Yiming said, pride in his tone when he spoke of his sister.

Li Yiming… Li Yiren.

Shao Zifeng probed, “So, is your father named Li Yijing?”

Li Yiming suddenly widened his eyes, incredulously saying, “Big brother Shao, how do you know my dad is named Li Yijing? Do you know him?”

Hiss.

Shao Zifeng sucked in a breath of cold air.

Good lord!

He didn’t expect it was actually that name.

A name to startle the world.

This family’s naming sense sure was distinctive.

…

After returning home, Shao Zifeng sprawled on the couch and took out his phone to open Baidu, his fingers flying rapidly across the screen.

Silent after reading the Baidu Baike entry, he had a rough understanding of why Li Yiming didn’t know “province.”

The matter went back to the time after the “Unknown Recovery Event.”

After the initial chaos, Daxia had stabilized the situation with a deployment swift as thunder, but many remote counties and cities had still been destroyed.

For the protection of the people, the officials requested all villagers from remote areas to concentrate in living closer together, either by moving to nearby cities or gathering to form new cities.

This approach greatly relieved the pressure but also resulted in wilderness areas where abandoned towns became the domain of mutant creatures, roads were blocked, and travel became inconvenient.

Daxia was already vast, with provinces as large as small countries. In such circumstances, it often happened that distant journeys delayed the timing of combats, causing disastrous delays in rescue operations.

Therefore, the method of a province’s capital city providing assistance across provinces was no longer suitable for governance.

In response, the Imperial Capital proposed a new plan, to weaken the provincial functions, with cities close to each other forming new administrative units called regions.

The regions were directly managed by the Imperial Capital, with a regional capital set up within. Under the principle of proximity, the surrounding cities formed the region, where cities within a region supported each other through thick and thin.

After this new model emerged, it greatly alleviated the issue of delays in rescue operations. As for the concept of a province,

While it wasn’t directly abolished, its presence gradually diminished and people slowly forgot it, becoming lost in the dust of history.

Although the emergence of the region relieved the pressure on rescue operations, it was quite unfriendly to cities like Su City, which rose from the ground due to the wild energy.

Su City was founded a dozen years ago, developed on energy resources, with harsh geographical conditions and climate, and no other cities are located within hundreds of kilometers around it.

There used to be some counties and towns, but now most of them have been abandoned.

Under various constraints, when a disaster struck Su City, the Yundu Region to which it belonged couldn’t rescue in time due to the long distance.

Shao Zifeng set his phone aside, covering his eyes with the back of his hand.

In the end, there’s still a big difference.

…

As the days passed, on days without intensive training, other than doing some basic exercises with Lingling and the deer, playing and watching TV, Shao Zifeng also got invited to Chen Zhenglong’s home.

He Juan was very worried when she heard that Shao Zifeng was going to Yundu City hundreds of kilometers away, fretting all night long.

At night, amid Chen Zhenglong and his wife’s nagging, Shao Zifeng left the Abnormal Administration Bureau family building loaded with bags of daily necessities and clothes, which were said to have been picked out by He Juan while shopping.

Although he verbally called them brother and sister-in-law, Shao Zifeng always felt like they were raising him as their son.

Ding.

Sitting in the taxi back to the neighborhood, his phone chimed, and Shao Zifeng took it out.

Bear Eagle Dad: Tomorrow morning at five o’clock, assemble at the school gate, the captain will take attendance.

Shao Zifeng: Who is the captain?

Li Yiming Silent: Who is the captain?

Fat Owl is Also Bear Eagle: Who is the captain?

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: Who is the captain?

Bear Eagle Dad: Forgot to announce, @Shao Zifeng is the captain of our “Su City Wild Bears Team”.

Li Yiming Silent: @Shao Zifeng

Fat Owl is Also Bear Eagle: @Shao Zifeng

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: @Shao Zifeng

Shao Zifeng: . . .

Shao Zifeng: Wait, don’t you guys think there’s something odd about the team name?

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: I think the team name is pretty good.

Shao Zifeng: @Bear Eagle Dad, huh, is this a new member?

Bear Eagle Dad: Hmm… I remember there were only four of us in the group, let me check the list.

Bear Eagle Dad: Oh, found it, this is someone who applied to join the team after you guys, just rarely comes to training.

Shao Zifeng: ???

Li Yiming Silent: ???

Fat Owl is Also Bear Eagle: ???

Bear Eagle Dad: Cough, I don’t quite remember.

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: . . .

Shao Zifeng: Newbie, share a photo.

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: Forget it, ever since joining the group I’ve already done three self-introductions and sent two photos, and you guys still called me ugly.

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: And Shao, we should be quite familiar, I used to say hi in the mornings.

Shao Zifeng: Oh! I remember now!

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: WHO AM I!! Looking forward.JPG

Shao Zifeng: . . .

Awkward silence.

Li Yiming Silent: If you had any sense, it wouldn’t be this awkward.

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: . . .

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: It seems my heart was misplaced after all.

I Shine Bright and Command Presence: I take my leave.JPG
