Chapter 1114: Chapter 1114: The 13th Official Copy (Long Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

[Age 0: You were born, and your father named you Linen, a name without special significance. At the time of your birth, the caravan was passing through a place called Suote Plain, so you were named Suote.]

[Age 1: Both of your parents worked in security, employed by the same security company, providing protection services for those small companies’ caravans that couldn’t cultivate their own security staff.]

[Age 2: Your parents were not always with the same caravan, and oftentimes, you were fostered at your maternal grandparents’ home in Limen City, barely seeing your parents once throughout the year.]

[Age 3: It was rare for your parents to be assigned to the same caravan, which seemed to be a safe trade route. They secretly brought you with them into the caravan, exposing you to the vast wilderness at a very young age.]

[Age 4: You didn’t attend kindergarten like other children your age. Your parents’ income wasn’t high, and you could only have attended the cheapest kindergartens. However, after visiting such kindergartens, your parents didn’t believe they could teach you anything valuable; they were merely a place to keep children.

They decided to continue fostering you at your grandparents’ home, increasing the frequency with which they took you out and about.]

[Age 5: Your parents gradually realized the downsides of living alone. You saw many different landscapes, but didn’t have many friends your own age, which made you somewhat alienated compared to your peers. In the end, they enrolled you in kindergarten for a month.]

[Age 6: You started attending the public school in the community where your grandfather lived. School started at 10 a.m., with a break from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., and finished at 3:30 p.m. After-school care required an extra fee.

You had many classmates with whom you could share your past adventures.]

[Age 7: The caravan guarded by your father encountered bandits. He was lucky to survive, but lost his lower limbs. The company covered his basic medical expenses but provided no additional compensation, leaving the family to rely on your mother’s income for support.

Fortunately, your mother received a promotion, and with an increased salary, your father returned home, and you began learning to cook for him.]

[Age 8: Towards you, your father still managed to keep a smile on his face, but you often heard him banging on the walls or bed in the bedroom, especially when needing to reach something from a higher shelf; you would always hear the sound of the wheelchair tipping over.

Many times, you heard your father saying, "It’s okay," but you didn’t know if he was assuring you or himself.]

[Age 9: The rent for the apartment increased again, and your father decided to move. You went from a two-bedroom apartment to a one-bedroom apartment; your father partitioned off the living room to create a small bedroom.

Your father took a friend’s advice and started livestreaming online, sharing stories of the battlefield with those who had never experienced it. He was a good speaker, and people were keen to listen to his talks. He started to regain an income.

When he was in a good mood, he would take out his old pistol and teach you fighting and shooting skills.]

[Age 10: Your mother changed jobs to the security company of Stars Pharma, which significantly increased her income, but also meant she came home even less throughout the year.

Your father’s livestream income improved as well, and you could clearly feel the family’s situation getting better, though the frequency of your parents’ meetings also decreased.]

[Age 11: Even with an increase in income, your family’s life was still strained. Often, when you wanted something, your father would tell you to wait a bit longer, to save up some more money.

As the summer was ending, you overhead your parents having a big argument. You felt depressed, yet not surprised; you had anticipated that one day, they might ask you to choose to stay with either your father or your mother.

In the autumn, your mother arranged for you to join the Stars Pharma caravan, traveling from Limen City to Dawn City, where you saw the splendor of the federation’s prime city for the first time.]

[Age 12: Thanks to your mother’s connections with Stars Pharma, you were sent to a reputable private middle school affiliated with Stars Pharma. You had to part with your old friends and set out to make new ones.]

Then you find that the things you learned at public elementary school are completely out of step with your new classmates’, as if they had finished a full six years of elementary education, while you only had one.]

[13 years old: Your parents still fought fiercely, but they never divorced like you thought they would. A classmate you met at the new school said it might be because neither wanted to pay the high alimony.

Perhaps that’s true, or maybe not; your understanding of the world is very superficial.

You only know that your rank in school is falling lower and lower, you can’t keep up with everyone’s pace, so you simply stop trying.

The principal spoke to your mother several times, your mother tried to persuade you to stay, but in the end, you transferred to a slightly worse private middle school.]

[14 years old: You made new friends again, who were even more negligent in their studies than the underachievers at your last school. Sometimes when you pass by the city center, you think that maybe if you tried harder, you could get into that best middle school, after all, everyone says you are smart.

In the summer, your mother took you to join a caravan headed to Ains, the capital of the Federation and also its third largest city, with over ten million people living in this political center of the Federation. It is not as prosperous as Dawn City, but the ancient years seem to have settled down something different.

Your mother took you to see the residence where the President of the Federation works, a huge and imposing building made of gray sandstone. She told you that she hopes you will study hard so that one day you can enter this palace and stand with the true bigwigs of the Federation.]

[15 years old: In the spring, your parents had one of their usual big fights, you stood at the door, listening to their quarrel, your mother hopes your father could increase your daily expenses so that you could have common topics and socialize with those private middle school students.

She always believed that not fitting in was an important reason for your poor academic performance, while your father disagreed and thought that it was your poor academic performance that caused you not to fit in.

You listened to them finish fighting, then went home to start cooking, sometimes you also wonder why they haven’t divorced yet.

As spring was about to end, your mother told you that she had contacted a friend who could send you to a private high school affiliated with the Nord Group in Dawn City. She didn’t want you to stay with your father anymore, thinking he was too stubborn and would hamper your education.

It was a very good high school, one that you absolutely couldn’t get into or apply to with your current grades. You listened to her arrangements calmly, asking how she planned to pay the high tuition fees, and she told you not to worry about it.

In the summer, before the acceptance letter arrived, you received news of your mother’s disappearance. The company people said she had been working nonstop for several months, but the most recent caravan encountered trouble; they were robbed by the Wilderness Wanderers, and no one survived.

When you got home, your father was already gone, and the house had been tidied up clean.

He left you a letter telling you he was heading into the wilderness, along with two sandwiches made the night before, and took the old Evis Spatial System M-97 handgun from the drawer.

In the following three months, you heard no news about them. A middle-aged Federal Bureau of Investigation agent finally concluded that they had all died in the wilderness.

After an investigation, the Star Cluster Pharmaceutical Security Company determined that your mother’s excessive fatigue while working was a significant cause of the security failure. They filed a lawsuit with the court.

In the end, the court ruled that your mother was clearly responsible for the damages to the Star Cluster Pharmaceutical Caravan, ordering her to compensate for losses as high as 3.7 million federal coins to Star Cluster Pharma. Since your mother didn’t have that much money, the court ruled that all her property be auctioned to compensate.

As autumn was almost ending, the acceptance letter still hadn’t been sent, and you had already graduated.]

[16 years old: Your father left you a sum of money, but not much. You moved out of the apartment and lived with your grandfather.

You looked for many jobs, but most were only temporary without medical insurance, and the hourly wage was only 5 federal coins.

Through an introduction by a friend, you joined a small gang in Limen City called the Grey Wolf Gang, where you did the most menial enforcer work, responsible for overseeing the entertainment venues operated by the gang.]

[At 17, your maternal grandfather found out you joined the gang, gave you a beating, and you didn’t say a word as you were kicked out of the house.

You moved into the dormitory provided by the gang for you, which was a cramped storeroom with a few bunk beds thrown together. Your roommates were enforcers just like you; most of the time you came back to this dorm, you’d find them squatting by the beds, inhaling contraband.

At first, they would ask if you wanted a hit, but after you refused too many times, they stopped asking.

You were isolated, just like most other times in your life.

You changed your contact number and cut all ties with your friends, living life alone.]

[At 18, after over a year, you were still the lowest-tier enforcer. Your ’colleagues’ didn’t like you, and neither did your ’leaders’.

But you still naturally went about your work. The gang provided free accommodation, albeit in poor condition; there was no salary from the gang, but they provided a living allowance, along with three meals a day, and sometimes there were additional bonuses. In total, your hourly wage was about 9 to 10 federal coins.

You didn’t socialize, didn’t need to treat other enforcers and bosses to meals, or offer up tributes, so you had no extra expenses.

You were just a small gang, with no real need for desperate measures.

You saved quite a bit of money. Sometimes you would visit your grandfather, who would toss your belongings out, but you’d pick them up again, leave them at his doorstep, and slip in some money.

In spring, the leader of the Grey Wolf Gang died, and the gang was swallowed up by the Great Grey Bear Gang, but this had nothing to do with you.

Your direct boss didn’t surrender quickly enough and got purged, along with all his people, but you were unaffected because you had no real connection with him.

You continued to work as an enforcer for the Great Grey Bear Gang, and you didn’t get along with the new boss either.]

[At 19, the Great Grey Bear Gang expanded too quickly, and a minor leader made a move on his own to steal goods from Stars Pharma. The next morning, the subordinates found the gang leader and his mistress dead in their own villa.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation raided all of the Great Grey Bear Gang’s places, including your workplace.

The agent who raided your workplace happened to be the same veteran agent who had delivered the news of your parents’ death, and after looking through your ’work records’, he let you go.

As you were leaving, he suddenly asked you, ’Don’t you want to know the truth behind your parents’ disappearance?’

You were out of a job.

But it didn’t matter to you, there were many more small gangs in Limen City, and many more within the Federation.

You squatted outside the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters for two days, waiting for the veteran agent. He only told you:

To enter the Federal Bureau of Investigation, you need a superior university diploma. Ains Industrial University, ranked among the top fifty in the Federation, is the only one among these fifty universities that doesn’t require high school grades, which means if you don’t have a renowned high school principal’s signature on a recommendation letter, then you need to score enough on their entrance exam to blow away the competition.

You understood his advice.

You researched the admission requirements for Ains Industrial University and found that their maximum age limit for applicants without high school records is 20, meaning you needed to complete three years’ worth of high school curriculum within one year and achieve exceptionally good grades.

This requires you to study full-time.

Although you had some savings, it could at most support you not working for two months.

That’s when your maternal grandfather found you and was willing to provide shelter for you.

You knew their house was also rented, so you chose to split the rent with them, which significantly eased your burden.

You decided to give it a try, and in the first month after you started studying full-time, you received a phone call.

The caller claimed to be your father’s lawyer, saying your father had entrusted them with managing some assets, which, in theory, should be paid out monthly to you starting from when you turned eighteen, over a period of six years.

Included was a fund for university tuition fees, covering most of the excellent universities in the Federation.

However, the lawyer had failed to contact you last year and only managed to reach you this year through your grandfather.

You learned the exact amount of money distributed monthly. It wasn’t a lot, but it was enough to support your basic living and housing expenses.

This money could not only cover the year you took off to study, but also your four years of university life.]

[At 20, you achieved third place in the Ains Industrial University entrance exam and passed the admission interview.

In autumn, you became a freshman at the university.

After six years, you’ve come to the Federation’s capital once again.]

[At 21, you saw the veteran agent at the school and learned that he was a special agent dispatched from the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters to Limen City, and his wife was a professor at Ains Industrial University—which is why he was so familiar with the school.

He was happy to see you and inquired whether you had sufficient income, so you told him about your father’s ’inheritance’.

You asked for more information about your parents, but he still kept silent.]

[At 22, you remained aloof at the university with few friends, spending your days in the library or in class. The university supported early graduation.

In two years, you completed all your credits and chose to graduate early.

You joined the recruitment drive at the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters and, with the highest combined score, became an employee at the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters.

On the way to the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters, you’d pass by the President’s residence. You sat in the bus, gazing at that grand and ancient palace, drawing near and then receding.]
