He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging emotions, and solemnly spoke:
"Liu Ting, this gift is too much, I..."
"Alright, alright, stop being so wishy-washy."
"Liu Ting" waved her hand, impatiently interrupting him, "What I give away, I never take back."
"If you don't want it, just throw it by the door and feed it to the dogs. Anyway, I've already given it away today, so it's your business what you do with it."
Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated. What kind of dog had such good teeth that it could bite through all these things?
As she spoke, "Liu Ting" waved to the soldiers and said, "Fall back, let's go!"
Eight soldiers quickly holstered their weapons, lined up, boarded the fighter jet, and the cabin door slowly closed.
Luo Feng panicked: "Wait! Liu Ting! These cultivation techniques..."
"They're all officially licensed, so practice with confidence! Nobody's going to bother you!"
These three cultivation techniques were all created and uploaded by "Liu Ting" last night when she had some free time, so of course she can give them away freely.
The roar of the fighter jet's engine suddenly intensified, and the silver fuselage slowly rose into the air. It slightly adjusted its direction in mid-air before transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
Luo Feng stood at his doorstep, looking up at the streak of light disappearing into the sky, speechless for a long time.
The huge, silvery-white box at the entrance lay quietly in the morning light, heavy as a miracle that had fallen from the sky.
He looked down at the contents of the box: a full set of S-grade combat gear, an S-grade Blood Shadow Battle Blade, S-grade throwing knives, an S-grade manual...
The 12 S-grade throwing knives, in particular, are quite conspicuous in the box.
This kind of thing is generally not used by martial artists; it can be said to be the exclusive weapon of mentalists.
But he remembered that he had never revealed to Liu Ting that he was a psychic!
Luo Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. He thought he had kept it a secret, but it turned out that Liu Ting had seen through him long ago and even prepared a throwing knife for him. This shocked and moved him at the same time.
Any one of these items would be enough to cause quite a stir in the martial arts community.
Now, they're all piled up in front of his house, as if they were free.
Luo Feng remained silent for a long time, then let out a long breath.
He bent down, carefully closed the box, and carried it into the house.
Although he didn't know where Liu Ting got so much money or such great ability to get these good things, since she gave them to him, he would make good use of them.
Luo Feng is not the kind of person who only knows how to take advantage without giving back.
He remembered this kindness.
Although he had lost count of how many times he had silently vowed to repay Liu Ting, this time, his determination was stronger than ever before.
Because what he held in his hands was not just a set of equipment and three secret manuals.
That was Liu Ting's trust in him, her trust that he could grow into a powerful figure, at least at the level of a war god, and become a force she could rely on.
He cannot betray this trust.
Meanwhile, on the intelligent fighter jet, "Liu Ting" was sitting in a spacious seat, legs crossed, holding a cup of hot tea, leisurely watching the clouds rushing past the window.
The money she spent on delivering equipment to Luo Feng was nothing compared to her current wealth.
The cash rewards she received from the state for the major technological achievements she submitted totaled an astronomical figure that would leave most war gods speechless.
Not to mention that after the production and sales rights of hoverboards were given to Feigong Group, the Liu family's assets are expanding at a visible rate.
For her, tens of billions are really just small change.
At her level, the resources needed for cultivation can no longer be bought with money. She wouldn't need so much money herself, so it would be a pure waste not to invest it while it's still valuable.
Moreover, her investment was not just directed at Luo Feng alone.
Several days before the memorial service, she used her channels and network to make investments, large or small, in many talented and promising young researchers and martial artists across the country who lacked resources and background.
Some organizations directly fund their research projects, others provide training resources or equipment, and still others help them connect with mentors or recommend them for better institutions.
These investments are nothing more than a piece of cake for her now.
But for the young people who receive the funding, it is a lifeline, enough to change their lives.
She is certainly not overflowing with saintly compassion.
She was well aware that money in her hands was just a string of numbers, but transforming it into a wide network of connections and influence could bring real power.
She will continue to make such investments in the future, turning money that is definitely useless into potentially useful relationships.
In the long run, her power will increase until it crosses a certain threshold, bringing benefits to her cultivation once again.
October 5th, a day destined to be recorded in world history.
On this day, under the unified arrangement at the national level, after a period of pre-launch preparation, the hoverboard was finally launched for sale simultaneously in the six major base cities of Hanxia.
The release time is set for 9:00 AM.
But before 8 a.m., long queues had already formed outside the official sales points in major base cities.
The people queuing included martial artists in combat uniforms, wealthy citizens in casual clothes, young students, and elderly people with gray hair.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the huge electronic display screen at the entrance of the sales point, where the countdown numbers were jumping second by second.
When the countdown reached zero, all sales outlets in the six major base cities opened for business simultaneously.
The first batch of hoverboards is officially on sale!
The sales point was bustling with people.
Those martial artists who had pre-ordered online quickly completed the payment, pickup, and activation process using their identity verification information. Then, carrying the heavy metal skateboard, they walked out the door with excited smiles on their faces.
Some impatient martial artists immediately stepped onto skateboards in the open space in front of the sales point and activated the levitation system.
An invisible force spread out from the bottom of the skateboard, steadily lifting the martial artist to a height of half a meter off the ground.
Then, amidst the astonished gazes of those around him, the skateboard beneath the martial artist's feet trembled slightly, instantly accelerating to a speed of nearly 100 meters per second, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing at the end of the street!
Holy crap! It can actually fly!
"Too fast! Too steady!"
"I want to buy it too! I want to place an order!"
"I heard this thing can carry 500 kilograms. When you go hunting in the wilderness and encounter monsters you can't beat, you can just take off and run away. Ground monsters below the lord level won't be able to do anything to you!"
"It's more than just running away! You can also attack ground monsters with ranged weapons from the air! It's completely changed the rules of the hunt!"
The entire martial arts community in Hanxia was in an uproar on this day.
Along with the magnetic levitation skateboard, another name also came into the public eye—Liu Ting.
The front pages of major news media outlets were almost entirely dominated by this name and her invention:
Revolutionary Invention! Hoverboards Go on Sale Nationwide Today, Potentially Changing the Landscape of Humanity's Battles Against Monsters!
"18 Years Old! The Inventor of the Hoverboard!"
From Top Scorer in College Entrance Examination to Scientist Who Saved the Nation—Liu Ting, the Leading Figure of the New Generation of Scientific Research in Hanxia and Even the World!
On major social media platforms, discussions about Liu Ting instantly surged to the top of the charts.
Some people dug up news that she scored 749 points on the college entrance exam two months ago, and others unearthed the legend of her working part-time at HR Alliance Mall.
Some people even compared her photos from the start of the semester at Jiangnan University with photos from the hoverboard launch event, posting comments expressing their amazement:
"We're both eighteen years old, both students at Jiangnan University, but while I'm struggling to understand the lessons, others are already changing the world with their inventions. Sometimes the gap between people is even greater than the gap between a person and a dog."
The comments section was filled with lamentations:
"Stop talking, I'm already crying."
"Is this what they mean by 'human evolution doesn't include me'?"
"Academician Liu: I just do something casually and it becomes a hope for mankind; you just do something casually and it becomes a burden for mankind."
The online craze for using memes has propelled the name "Liu Ting" to ever greater heights of popularity.
Meanwhile, inside the High Energy Research Institute.
"Liu Ting" was sitting in her office, legs crossed, scrolling through news comments on her phone, a satisfied smile on her lips.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. These netizens have good taste; they know I am humanity's hope."
She happily scrolled through the comments praising her, occasionally reading a few lines aloud to Yu Qiaoqiao, who was sitting at the opposite desk organizing data.
Yu Qiaoqiao was on the verge of a breakdown: "Junior sister, stop reading! I'm busy right now, go outside and have some fun!"
"Hmph, boring woman!" Liu Ting put down her phone, leaned back in her chair, and made a sullen face, but she did not make any more noise to disturb Yu Qiaoqiao.
Looking at her like this, Yu Qiaoqiao sighed helplessly, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
Although my junior sister can be really annoying at times, I have to admit she has the guts to be.
The large-scale release of hoverboards has caused a huge sensation both domestically and globally.
And as the inventor of this product, my junior sister's name will be officially recorded in the annals of human civilization starting today.
After a long silence, Yu Qiaoqiao finally finished organizing the data, stood up, and placed the data report on Liu Ting's desk:
"The directed energy confinement module of the electromagnetic railgun has been adjusted today according to the parameters you provided, and the preliminary test results are in. Energy loss has been reduced by a full 90%!"
Yu Qiaoqiao looked as if she were dreaming, and exclaimed in shock, "Junior sister, to be honest, are you a deity?"
Gao Jiyuan spent over a decade optimizing various aspects, yet the overall losses were reduced by no more than 5%. Meanwhile, his junior colleague, after only half a month, achieved a 90% reduction.
Liu Ting raised an eyebrow and smiled.
“It’s not just you; sometimes I ask myself the same question.”
Chapter 274 The New Era, Died Too Quickly, Didn't Even Have Time to Make a Move
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past six months, the whole world has undergone tremendous changes.
And the source of all these changes points to one person—Liu Ting.
The electromagnetic railgun, a weapon that once only existed on Academician Gao Jiyuan's bucket list, was finalized in less than three months under her leadership.
