I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

After "friendly" negotiations.

As with the previous collaboration, Yan Jiefang continued to provide the restaurant's decoration, renovation, and various necessary equipment as required.

The Sha Zhu couple provided the technology and management.

They will partner up to open a new Chunfeng Restaurant, with profits split equally between them.

However, this time a clause was added: Chunfeng Restaurant needs to pay Yan Jiefang 20,000 yuan in rent every year.

The rent is not fixed and fluctuates with the market. Yan Jiefang is a straightforward person, so he just pays a price slightly below the market rate.

The next day, Yan Jiefang asked the construction team to start renovating the shop according to Sha Zhu's requirements.

There's a lot going on with this renovation, and it will be at least a month before Chunfeng Restaurant opens.

That night, after more than two years of cultivation, his cultivation level finally advanced again, reaching the 7th level of Qi Refining.

As his cultivation level improved, the range of his divine sense also expanded further, now reaching a radius of 40 meters.

The scope is not large, but in this degenerate age, it is already quite significant.

And after this advancement, another major improvement is the "White Sun Flying Escape Technique"!

White Sun Flying Escape Technique (0/100): After mastering this technique, one can break free from the limitations of the ground, fly into the sky, and transform into a faint shadow that flies through the air at an extremely fast speed.

If combined with a flying sword to form a sword escape, the speed will increase exponentially.

However, this spell consumes a considerable amount of energy, so Qi Refining stage cultivators should use it with caution!

This is a technique used by true cultivators, which can greatly increase their movement speed in short-distance spaces.

Yan Jiefang glanced around the area and found that his wife and children were fast asleep.

So he used the White Sun Flying Escape Technique to transform into a shadow that was almost invisible to the naked eye, slipped out through the crack in the door, and then took to the air.

In just a few seconds, the person was two or three hundred meters in the air.

The entire 49th city, brightly lit by streetlights, came into his view.

At that time, Beijing was far less developed than it would be in later years, and the lights in the city were relatively dim.

Outside the city, it was almost pitch black.

Only a few lights were twinkling.

Yan Jiefang sensed the depletion of his spiritual energy and found that it wasn't as rapid as he had imagined.

With his current cultivation level, he should be able to fly continuously for about 10 minutes.

However, he did not stay there for long. After experiencing the power of the spell for a while, he immediately returned home.

After all, unlike in the world of cultivation, here, every bit of spiritual power he consumes requires him to draw spiritual power from spirit stones to replenish it.

There was absolutely no feedback from the outside world.

After all, this is the world in its degenerate age.

Moreover, absorbing the spiritual energy from spirit stones takes a considerable amount of time, and he didn't want to waste that time.

This skill only requires a few practice sessions each day to improve proficiency; there's no need to become an expert overnight.

He calculated in his mind that the current movement speed of the White Sun Flying Escape Technique was about 100 meters per second.

He can fly continuously for 10 minutes.

100*60*10=60000米=60公里。

A distance of 60 kilometers is short, but not too short either.

Anyway, it will be very easy for him to go to Hong Kong in the future!

If you stop at the islands in the middle for a few minutes, or bring a few kayaks to rest on the sea, there won't be any problem getting to Taiwan.

Should we go to TSMC and give their lithography machines a super-powerful blow?

However, the lithography machine of 1987 was composed of many parts, and it is unknown whether the Super Critical Strike could encompass them all.

He has never actually seen a lithography machine and doesn't know what it looks like.

However, given his computer knowledge, this thing shouldn't be too big.

Moreover, he had heard an old story in his previous life: TSMC had experienced a large-scale fire in 1988.

Some people online are saying that this seems to be highly suspicious of being done intentionally.

Otherwise, why did this fire start earlier or later, but only when ASML was about to go bankrupt?

As a result, TSMC's large orders directly brought the company back from the brink of collapse!

Yan Jiefang is also a staunch supporter of conspiracy theories.

Now that's settled, since you're going to burn it sooner or later anyway, we might as well just move it away.

He had already decided that he would go there next year.

For a period of time afterward, Yan Jiefang stayed at home, cultivating while also replenishing the spiritual energy within his body.

At the end of August, he drove his whole family to take his eldest son, Yan Xueqian, to Shuimu BBS to report for duty.

Because the whole family, including Liu Ruyan, is tall, and apart from Yan Jiefang who is slightly less handsome, the three children and Liu Ruyan are all good-looking.

They practically became the center of attention at the school gate.

Fortunately, students at that time were relatively reserved, so it did not cause too much trouble.

In those days, Tsinghua University only enrolled a little over two thousand students each year. After the registration period was spread out, the number of people gathered when Yan Jiefang and his group arrived was not actually that large.

Yan Xueqian quickly completed the registration.

After dropping him off at his dormitory, the family drove away without lingering there.

Yan Xueqian's roommate asked in a low voice:

"Yan, was that girl your sister? She's so pretty! It's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!"

The other roommates also nodded:

"Me too!"

They live in an 8-person dormitory, and 6 people have arrived today, so almost everyone is here.

Yan Xueqian was speechless upon hearing his roommate's question.

"That's my mom!"

My roommates didn't believe it:

"You're kidding, right?"

"Yan, you can't be dishonest!"

"You'll see if I believe you or not!"

...

Yan Xueqian shook his head:

"I don't care whether you believe it or not, just don't bother her!"

A local Beijing roommate looked at Yan Xueqian:

"Yan Xueqian! I've heard of you. You're the top scorer in Beijing's college entrance exam with 720 points! I didn't know you were so tall!"

Although they were among the top students in the local area, other students were still astonished when they heard their scores:

"720 points? That's incredible!"

"Looks like I still haven't tried hard enough!"

"Yan, let's exchange ideas more often about our studies in the future!"

...

Sitting in the passenger seat, Liu Ruyan remained silent.

After a while, she looked at her husband who was driving:

"Jiefang, I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, our son would already be in college. Time really flies!"

It feels like our wedding day was just yesterday.

Yan Jiefang nodded:

"Time really flies. I can't believe I'm already over forty. My children are growing up too."

Liu Ruyan seemed to suddenly remember something, and she asked:

"Liberation, is Hai Zi, also your pen name?"

Yan Jiefang shook his head:

"No, I've only ever used one pen name, which is my real name."

Then I happened to see that he had also written a modern poem, which also contained the following line:

"Facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming!"

Yan Jiefang had long known this day would come, and shook his head calmly:

"Such a simple sentence, car accidents are quite normal."

Liu Ruyan nodded:

"That's true, but we don't know when we'll be able to achieve this goal."

Yan Xueheng, the second son sitting in the back row, suddenly interjected:

"Hasn't that already been accomplished?"

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at her clueless son:

"Second brother, tell me, how did you manage to achieve that?"

Yan Xueheng's eyebrows danced with delight:

"Mom, you don't know, my dad bought four houses in Shekou. Each of us three brothers has one, and you and my dad live in one. That place is very close to the sea, less than two kilometers away."

And the greenery over there is amazing, so much better than the hutongs in our 49th city! Doesn't this perfectly embody the saying, "Facing the sea, with warm flowers blooming"?
