Urban God-level Youth

Chapter 176: Interests at Stake



Inside the taxi

The two sat in the backseat, and Ning Yao opened the conversation, "Qin Hao, what sports do you like?"

"They're all okay, I guess, why do you ask?" Qin Hao didn't understand why she was asking this.

Ning Yao looked surprised, "Don't you know that after school starts on the 11th, there will be a school-wide sports event?"

Qin Hao, "I didn't know, I haven't paid attention to these things."

Ning Yao was speechless, you're a class leader, how can you not know about this stuff?

Ning Yao asked, "What sports are you good at? Do you want to sign up for some events during the sports meet?"

Qin Hao, "Forget it, I don't have that much time."

Ning Yao was a little curious, how could a student be so busy?

What exactly was he busy with?

About half an hour later, they arrived at the train station.

When they got out of the car, Qin Hao and Ning Yao were both stunned.

They saw the train station square was packed with people, crowded and bustling.

Qin Hao reminded her, "Stick close to me and watch your belongings, so they don't get stolen."

Ning Yao nodded, "Mmm!"

Qin Hao led the way, and Ning Yao followed behind, arriving at the automatic ticketing hall, where they queued for ten minutes before getting their tickets.

Then the two hurried to the ticket-checking gate, as they could only enter the station after having their tickets checked.

Before they even got to the ticket-checking queue, Ning Yao was already being pushed to the back by the crowd.

She was somewhat anxious, but as a woman, she really had no advantage in this respect.

Qin Hao, seeing this, stopped, walked back to her, and, taking her hand, squeezed their way forward.

Because there wasn't much time left, if they missed the train, they probably wouldn't be able to return.

Ning Yao felt the warmth from his palm on her hand, her cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded.

She knew Qin Hao didn't mean anything by it and was simply helping her out, but she couldn't help feeling shy.

They queued for thirteen minutes at the ticket-checking gate; though there were many gates, there were even more people.

After entering the station, it was almost nine o'clock, and their train tickets were for nine ten.

The two rushed to Platform 1, where their train had already started ticket checking.

After checking their tickets, they boarded the train at Platform 3.

By then, there were not as many people in the passageway.

Qin Hao also let go of her hand and turned to look at her with a smile, "Is this your first time experiencing this? There are really too many people."

Ning Yao nodded, "Thank you, if it wasn't for you, I might not have been able to get back."

"Don't mention it; we're from the same place, helping each other out is what we should do. Why is your face so red? Is it the heat?"

Ning Yao, "Mmm, there were just too many people earlier, it was strenuous and made me anxious."

...

Once on the train, a cool sensation washed over them, the air conditioning really was a great thing, Qin Hao also felt hot, and with the cool air, he sighed contentedly to himself.

Their seats were right next to each other, the train was quite full, but it was not like ordinary trains that were standing-room only.

This train did not have standing tickets.

Ning Yao sat on the inside, with Qin Hao on the outer side. He spoke, "If you're tired, you can sleep."

Ning Yao sneezed and replied, "It's okay, I'm not tired yet."

They both took out their phones and started playing, as Ning Yao said, "Qin Hao, our tutor is quite disappointed in you, you should pay more attention in class and not skip so often."

Qin Hao paused, then smiled and said, "You'll get used to it."

...

Ning Yao was somewhat speechless, didn't he fear failing his exams?

The two chatted for a while, and possibly because she was too tired, Ning Yao soon fell asleep where she lay.

Qin Hao didn't sleep; he was pondering over some future matters.

The Air Energy Car was of significant importance; domestic oil prices had been continuously climbing, not least due to the trade war.

Over ninety percent of the world's oil was controlled by the Federation, and they could cut off the supply at any time if they wished, dealing a severe blow to Xuan Country.

In recent years, Xuan Country had developed rapidly, with nearly every family owning a car. The daily consumption of oil alone amounted to a huge figure.

Although the situation was tense, if he were to actually launch the Air Energy Car, he would face no small resistance.

Once the Air Energy Car hit the market, it would affect many people's interests, including those of his competitors, and might even possibly impinge on the interests of some big players in Xuan Country.

Because the Air Energy Car didn't require burning gasoline at all, which meant if it really came out, Xuan Country wouldn't need oil anymore.

The international impact would also be significant; even oil prices could plummet to an unbelievably low level.

He couldn't imagine just how many people's interests would be touched.

But one thing he could foresee was that there would be many people who wanted him dead!

Interests could drive people mad.

Even if the Air Energy Car could promote the progress of technology worldwide, those people wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Because to them, technological advancement was irrelevant, interests were everything.

Qin Hao was no longer as naive as before; his IQ was higher than anyone else's, and he thought of far more things.

Now he was somewhat afraid. If he really launched the Air Energy Car, would he become a target for all?

Could it affect the safety of his friends and family?

Thinking this, his brows furrowed slightly.

He was weighing the pros and cons!

Should he develop his roast duck company quietly, or should he take risks for the progress of technological society?

What could he gain by taking risks? Merely more money, but he had enough from the roast duck company alone.

He pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what to do. Discover stories with empire

Forget it, let's take things one step at a time, starting with getting the technology for the Xinghai generation smart robots.

This would face much less resistance, and might even get strong support from the country, given that Xuan Country is currently in need of high-end chip manufacturing technology.

At that moment, Ning Yao turned over in her sleep, and then she continued sleeping.

Qin Hao glanced at her, feeling a mix of envy and concern. The system brought him many benefits, but at the same time, it also brought him a lot of worries.

Without the system, he might currently be getting bullied somewhere unknown.

Even if given another chance, he would still choose to have it, rather than give up.

Ning Yao slept on until two in the afternoon and still didn't wake up.

Qin Hao felt something was amiss and touched her, waking her up.

Ning Yao's cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Qin Hao groggily, "What's wrong?"

"I should be asking you. Why is your face so red? You don't have a fever, do you? Let me check."

With that, Qin Hao placed his hand on her forehead.

This made Ning Yao's cheeks turn even redder, though it wasn't visible.

"You do have a fever, your head is very hot," Qin Hao said with a furrowed brow.

Ning Yao also felt her head spinning, heavy as if weighted down; she had thought it was just because she had just woken up, but hearing what Qin Hao said, she also sensed something was off.

Qin Hao spoke, "Your fever is serious, I'll go find a steward and ask for some fever-reducing medicine. Wait here for a bit."

Having said this, he got up and walked to the back. There was a steward's office at the end of this carriage.
