The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

The Military Department’s attention to him was undisguised, and Qin Jin’s sense of belonging to the Federation was continually increasing. In this context, he wouldn’t hesitate to make requests, because... he was confident that one day, he would repay everything.

"I understand."

Lv Xuan nodded, "First, we’ll re-evaluate you, and then we’ll have a meeting to discuss."

"Qin Jin."

"Without affecting your normal cultivation, spend more time with us here next. If you have any needs, you can always bring them up, after all, our team is here to serve you."

"Don’t worry, I won’t stand on ceremony."

They exchanged a smile.

When leaving, the night had deepened.

All construction areas on Thunder Star were brightly lit, and work continued day and night.

Currently, on Thunder Star, there’s no talk of disturbing the public; with artificial intelligence combined with technology, building efficiency is extremely high.

Recently quite busy, and needing to discuss the mecha issue, Qin Jin hadn’t gone to the restricted area continuously the past few days but stayed at his residence instead.

Nearing his residence, inside the villa, all lights were off. Qin Jin pushed the door open and, at the moment of preparing to turn on the lights, his action paused slightly.

The room was eerily dark, but night vision was just a basic ability for Qin Jin; he swept his gaze over it and confirmed, based on his inner thoughts, that someone had been here.

On Thunder Star, those dare to do such a thing aren’t many.

"Uncle Yan and the others have been here?"

"But usually, they would tell me when they come over."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, Qin Jin remained calm, as he feared nothing on Thunder Star.

Passing through the entrance hallway, Qin Jin entered the living room on the first floor, and at the moment of entering, the villa lights suddenly switched on. The space before him was empty, with no one visible, not even sensed by his perception.

But in the next moment.

As if a mirror shattered, the vacant scene before him suddenly vanished. With the active exposure, Qin Jin discerned the power causing this concealment. That was... Spiritual Energy!

Qin Jin suddenly looked forward.

Looking around, there was the aroma of food, all familiar faces came into view.

The Yan family couple, Yan Yue due to her studies at the academy wasn’t there in person, but was in communication. Her figure was shown on the light screen. Apart from their family of three, Qin Jin was somewhat surprised by the other two.

Chu Tianyi, Su Chaotang.

This was the true starting point of his soar in the cultivation path, now present in his home.

Then, the source of Spiritual Energy just now also became obvious.

"Didn’t expect you to come back so late."

Not seen for a long time, Chu Tianyi looked as splendid as ever, carrying a bit more vigor compared to before, now smiling: "Luckily, not missed the time. Come on, let’s get ready for a birthday."

"Birthday?"

Qin Jin reacted.

He instinctively looked at Uncle Yan’s family, greeted with caring smiles.

Yan Gaoyuan spoke, "Originally, we prepared for you, just in time Elder Chu sent a message, so they joined in."

Upon hearing.

Qin Jin was silent.

After his parents left, he grew up at the Yan family; every birthday was celebrated by the Yan family.

This time was no exception.

"Qin Jin."

Looking at Qin Jin, the voice of Yan Yue came from the communication screen: "Originally wanted to find you at the academy, but heard from mom and dad about your return, I’m unable to take leave, so it’s like this."

"It’s fine."

Qin Jin softly said, "It’s enough."

He looked at Chu Tianyi, "Teacher Chu, you’re done with work?"

"Almost, thanks to you, after the exchange with Lord Star God, I verified some things, now finally made some discoveries."

Chu Tianyi nodded, looked at Qin Jin, earnestly evaluating, finally said calmly, "You’ve grown a lot."

"Come on, take a seat, it’s almost time."

Everyone took their seats, the aroma of food wafting, everything centered around Qin Jin.

Qin Jin shifted his gaze to another person.

Su Chaotang.

This former mentor, now radiating positive energy, unlike his previous gloom.

Upon this, Qin Jin said, "Teacher Su, have you reached Martial Saint Realm?"

"Only one last step."

Su Chaotang smiled, "The path is set, now just a matter of time."

"Qin Jin."

"Recently I’ve heard about your achievements, securing the Limit-Breaking Cup championship, really impressive."

"I still remember your diligence during special training at the base; now it seems you haven’t disappointed your efforts."

His tone carried genuine praise.

As the two conversed.

Time passed, reaching midnight.

Once it struck midnight, the terminal screen Qin Jin wore lit up, with Candle Kite’s lively image: "Qin Jin, happy birthday!"

It was just the beginning.

Following her congratulatory words, the terminal flooded with incoming messages, many containing well wishes.

Being remembered itself was a success.

Qin Jin smiled apologetically to others, responding them one by one.

Once he finished, Chu Tianyi spoke, "Make a wish."

"Although we Extraordinary don’t observe these things, given the occasion, let’s just enjoy it."

At this moment, he didn’t seem like a remarkable Spiritualist, but just a caring elder to a junior.

Qin Jin nodded.

He closed his eyes, softly murmuring within, then opened them.

"Qin Jin."

Ahead, the voice of Su Chaotang sounded: "Calculating the time, it’s been nearly a year since we’ve last met."

"How’s your progress in Martial Arts?"

Upon hearing.

Others focused their gaze on Qin Jin.

Faced with their gaze, Qin Jin smiled, calmly said, "Grandmaster Realm."

"Sixth Transformation."
