"Volunteer teaching in remote mountain areas comes with age limits, under 30 years old you can teach up to three years, and under 50 you're allowed up to ten. Staff need to rotate to give new young people the opportunity. I've completed my three years, and besides, my father has found a job for me at the corporate group."

After explaining the rules and conventions of the international education organization, Teacher Shen Fei looked at Chen Fei with some regret. She would soon be leaving while he would remain here.

Though the two hadn't spent a long time together, they'd experienced more than most people ever would in their lifetime.

Her father was the deputy director of the local Northern Weapons Industry Group; finding jobs for his children was practically an unwritten benefit within the company.

Iron rice bowls passed down from generation to generation, with the precious 'water' never flowing into an outsider's field. After decades, it had become an impregnable giant entity.

"Does that guy know?"

Chen Fei pointed towards the direction where Teacher Jiang Shan had been earlier.

"I'll tell him after a while. I won't be leaving anytime soon, at least not for another six months. Plus, there are two more teachers coming; this time, we'll fill all the positions."

Teacher Shen Fei walked a big circle with Chen Fei along the inside of the wire fence, incidentally repairing all the damaged spots.

"Heh, poor kid!"

Chen Fei couldn't stop sneering. What goes around comes around—it's all a matter of who outsmarts whom.

That guy, clearly vying for Peachy's attention, couldn't possibly anticipate that he only had six months left to gloat.

What's more, Chen Fei himself would be right there, making it not so easy to swing things his way.

Teacher Shen Fei said crossly, "Don't spout nonsense, which kid is suffering?"

Chen Fei's words had inadvertently dragged her students into the conversation.

"Of course, that big kid!"

Chen Fei gestured meaningfully in a certain direction.

"You're another big kid!"

Shen Fei poked Chen Fei's forehead with her finger, leaving a noticeable black dot.

Having just undergone a smoky battle, the once clean and rich beauty was about to turn into a dirty one.

"Alright, everything's fixed. Next time I'll bring more steel pipes to make some cavalry obstacles; those creatures won't be able to charge then."

After a full walk with Teacher Shen, Chen Fei had repaired all the damaged parts of the wire fence. The spike-covered alloy steel wire was extremely tough and the I-steel posts used as the bearing nodes were very solid. Despite local deformations, there had been no major damage, so not a single Mutant had managed to break through.

Furthermore, combined with a Dark Shadow Wolf that could move as fast as lightning under cover of dark, and armed with firearms, the Mutants didn't even have the chance to climb the fence.

Before leaving, Chen Fei didn't forget to step on Teacher Shen's shadow, threatening fiercely, "Ah Mao, keep a close eye on Jiang Shan for me. If he dares to mess with Teacher Shen, tear him apart for me. Otherwise, I'll stew you with wolf meat, carrots, and even add cilantro."

Such a macabre example of true dark cuisine!

Teacher Jiang Shan might think he has the advantage of proximity, but he most likely doesn't realize that the Shadow Wolf by Teacher Shen Fei's side is no mere decoration.

"Woo!"

The Shadow Wolf in the shadow trembled in fear, whimpering in terror, clearly petrified.

Xiao Jiu was its natural nemesis. Being on the same Rank, the Shadow Wolf didn't even dare muster up the courage to resist.

Shen Fei gave Chen Fei another light punch, chiding, "You're frightening it again!"

However, she was quite satisfied with the Magical Beast that Chen Fei had given her. A paper contract maintained the most basic form of control, but this female Shadow Wolf seemed quite content to be Teacher Shen's "under-the-skirt wolf."

Cherish life, stay away from Chen Fei, guard Shen Fei, and be a qualified foodie wolf—this had become "Ah Mao's" belief.

As for the notion of strutting the mountains with over three hundred companions, well, that can simply dissipate with the wind!~

"Let's go back, time for a drink!~ Woof!~"

Big Cat Er Lang, who had been impatiently waiting for Chen Fei and Shen Fei to finish their dilly-dallying and had heaved a sigh of relief, scampered onto the large Tricycle without needing a reminder.

If Chen Fei didn't return soon, it would head back to Station 911 on its own.

The 15-kilometer mountain road posed only a marginally slower journey for the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet compared to the Tricycle.

With rotors whirring rapidly through the air, the large Tricycle emitted a not-so-loud roar as it glided across flat ground for a distance before taking off into the wind.

Aircraft can't always have a smooth ride with the wind; taking off into the wind is most suitable.

Chen Fei, piloting the Gyroplane, waved to Teacher Shen on the ground and then quickly disappeared into the night.

"Teacher Shen, has Mr. Chen left?"

The newly arrived Teacher Jiang Shan stepped out from the shadows nearby; he had been paying close attention to the young man who'd been with Shen Fei.

Rude, uncivilized, impolite. He had made no effort to conceal his hostility upon first meeting, allowing Jiang Shan to realize straightaway that he was a rival, perhaps an impulsive one.

"A gentle lady is a gentleman's delight."

Before coming to this mountain area school, Jiang Shan hadn't expected to find such an exquisite surprise hidden here. The heartbeat turned to action, and he didn't rashly reveal his intentions, but instead took his time, trying to get closer little by little.

"Teacher Jiang, aren't you resting yet?"

Shen Fei, slinging a Type 95 automatic rifle, exuded an especially valiant and dashing air.

However, she maintained a distance from Jiang Shan from beginning to end, keeping their relationship strictly professional and never giving any hint or excessive intimacy to avoid any unwarranted fantasies.

Even Chen Fei was still in the observation phase.

Unless a young lady from a wealthy family was spoiled from a young age, it was rare for them to have a mind full of naive fantasies.

"It's okay, I'm waiting for you!"

It wasn't just Chen Fei who could use double entendres; Teacher Jiang could as well.

"Get some rest early, you have classes tomorrow, and there's a lot of work to be done!"

Teacher Shen Fei, however, did not bother to disguise her indifference and walked towards her dormitory with her gun slung over her shoulder.

Currently, there were no spare rooms, and it was not convenient for men and women to share, so the newly arrived Teacher Jiang Shan was sleeping in the utility room next to the vegetable garden in the backyard, where a bed and a desk had been barely arranged.

"..."

Jiang Shan could not miss the distance in Shen Fei's words; if he ever made an overstepping move, she would immediately remind him without any pretense.

Watching Teacher Shen Fei's receding figure, he clenched his fists quietly.

One day, certainly one day...

"One day, I will show you how powerful I am, woof!"

Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet Er Lang muttered to himself all the way back to Aircrew Base 911, then got carried by his little vest all the way back to the small western-style building.

"Stop saying 'woof' all the time! Don't do things that are beneath your dignity."

Chen Fei seemed to be getting hooked on double meanings, easily coming up with two layers of interpretation with his offhand remarks.

"This is my protest, woof!"

Er Lang felt that his brain wasn't quite up to snuff; humans were just too cunning.

"Don't you want to continue drinking?"

Outside the big door of the small western-style building, Chen Fei stood, and if the big cat dared to utter even half a "no," he'd leave without it!

"Of course I'll drink!"

Dealing with such a shady character was too stressful; Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet needed a few more drinks to really relax.

"Then 'meow'!"

This was the correct way to do it.

"Whine... meow!"

What is integrity? A Magical Beast never had such a thing!

Magical Beasts shall never be enslaved, unless with five insurances and one housing fund, a monthly salary of at least five digits, and including room and board.

Boss Hana hadn't left but was waiting in the bar of the small western-style building for this man and Magical Beast. She glanced at the time and said, "Exactly one hour, not too bad!"

Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet proudly stated, "Of course, with me around! A clean sweep!"

"That's right, with Er Lang taking action, I did nothing."

The task of exterminating the Mutants was entirely performed by the big cat, while Chen Fei acted as a repairman, fixing the wire mesh wall around the mountainous area's primary school.

"Peep!"

Little Bird claimed it had also contributed its effort.

(Shadow Wolf "Ah Mao," who almost got screwed over: ...)

Two weeks later, the construction and expansion projects of Aircrew Base 911 gradually entered their final stages.

The main take-off and landing runway, originally built to Third-Level Standard at 1500 meters, was extended to 2000 meters, making the take-off and landing process of the MiG-28 much more comfortable.

With the addition of the magnetic assist take-off and landing system, even heavy transport aircraft could take off and land smoothly.

The Aircrew Base's only F-22 "Raptor" jet fighter became the practical tool for acceptance tests; being able to take off and land easily even for a heavy air superiority jet model meant there would be no issues for other aircraft at the base.

"'Rookie' ready, requesting takeoff!"

Having received a series of take-off related information from the control tower, Chen Fei sat in the cockpit of the F-22 with a calm expression, responding.

This time, he did not need to activate the "Gravity Adjustment Module" skill; he relied solely on the "Raptor's" inherent weight to take off normally.

This was one of the main reasons why Squadron Leader Chekhov of the "Genuine Fragrance" Combat Flight Squadron could not pilot this jet fighter.

For the F-22, Aircrew Base 911's Third-Level Standard runway was too short; without the enhancement of a special ability, the margin for take-off conditions was too small, overly forced, and in the event of any accidents, it would likely be difficult to handle.
