"What a good boy, you've made your mark, have you joined the military?"
"Well, Uncle Lin, I was assigned to enter the special department. I just have to leave Moon City and there will be less chance of coming back in the future."
Luo Xin sat on the counter and answered with a smile.
The man he called Uncle Lin was a middle-aged man with a metal prosthesis on his left arm and a mechanical electronic eye on his right eye that flashed red. He was busy behind the counter.
In this era of interstellar colonization, the technology of prosthetic body transformation has long been mature, and ordinary people who have not mastered extraordinary power have more or less installed something on their bodies.
A bowl of ramen piled with beef was placed in front of Luo Xin.
Luo Xin took out a pair of chopsticks and started eating.
There were no other customers at the noodle stall, and it was very deserted due to the wind blowing at night.
Uncle Lin lit up a cigarette and began to ramble: "When we go out and have a good time, we will become famous in the future and no one will dare to bully us anymore."
Luo Xin was eating, listening to Uncle Lin's chatter, and touching the watch on his left hand.
Transfer 10,000 star coins to Uncle Lin’s account.
Uncle Lin's electronic eye showed a transfer prompt. He was stunned for a moment, then said with a straight face: "You brat, what are you doing?"
"Uncle Lin, take this money, Xiaoling will go to high school soon."
"this……"
"I will join the military and I will not be short of money in the future."
Uncle Lin took a deep breath from his cigarette and was silent for a moment. Finally, he accepted the transfer and said, "Uncle Lin really needs the money now and will pay you back later."
Luo Xin smiled and said: "Uncle Lin, you are too outrageous to say this. This money is a gift from me to Xiaoling, so that she can learn a craft. If you run into trouble, just call me.
, it can be of some help."
"Haha, okay, I remember. Brat, when are you going to bring a girlfriend back? She's old enough."
"Uncle Lin, this matter cannot be rushed..."
"This kind of thing should be done as early as possible, otherwise you will be too old and unable to do what you want, and you will regret it. Alas."
Uncle Lin's tone was a bit sad. At this time, other customers came into the store, and Uncle Lin went to greet the customers.
Luo Xin buried her head in eating noodles.
The store is located on a 100-meter-high floor. Outside is a suspended plank road, with countless shops distributed layer by layer. In the middle of the open space, the projected light path outlines the sky plank road, and suspended vehicles shuttle back and forth.
City of the Moon, a super-first-tier metropolis of the Interstellar Federation.
This is a three-dimensional city, thousands of meters deep, divided into several large floors. As far as the eye can see, there are tall buildings like forests, colorful neon lights and virtual projections fill every inch of the city, and suspended vehicles fly all over the sky like fish swimming in the water.
This universe is colorful, the galaxy is lively, and many intelligent races have been discovered. After a long period of development, human beings took the lead in forming a federation and jointly expanded outward.
Technology is unprecedentedly advanced.
Interstellar travel, Dyson spheres, prosthetic technology, super artificial intelligence, and gene pruning technology are all booming. More importantly, there is extraordinary power in this universe, and top experts can rival the gods alone.
The universe is colorful and lively, but for Luo Xin, the only warm place is this noodle stall.
He was in an orphanage when he traveled through time.
This body is only 10 years old, has nothing to rely on, is bullied by other children in the orphanage, is often underfed, and suffers from chronic malnutrition.
Uncle Lin saw that he was pitiful and often helped him. When he had nothing to eat, he could come to the noodle stall and eat beef noodles.
Luo Xin was powerless to change anything.
However, the poor rely on mutation.
His powers awakened during a fight with other people in the orphanage. After sending everyone to the crematorium, he was also taken away by the federation.
Since then, he has reached a contract with the Federation.
The Federation suppressed the matter and provided him with training resources. With his own efforts, he entered the top university in Moon City and the top three universities in the Federation - Star Dragon Academy.
The emphasis here is on cultivating warriors and people with supernatural powers.
He entered the supernatural system and practiced hard training.
As a price, he will serve the Federation for 30 years after graduation.
A few days ago, at the age of 18, he graduated with 9th overall ranking in the supernatural department. He also abided by his contract and served the Federation.
The Federation originally placed him in the military department.
For a commoner, this is a great thing that is upright, has a bright future, and honors the ancestors.
But Luo Xin refused.
Turn around and apply to join ANBU.
This is an official organization that cannot appear in public and works secretly for the federation. It is mainly responsible for cleaning up internal moths and dealing with shady matters. It is a black glove type.
The reason is money.
There are no enemies outside the Federation, and the army has no chance to make meritorious deeds. Joining now is just a matter of dawdling and receiving a dead salary.
Plus he has no power.
Promotion is impossible.
Just that little salary.
Can he afford a house? Can he afford a car? Can he get a wife? Moreover, cultivation expenses are very high, and the federal support agreement has expired. He has to prepare the next cultivation resources by himself.
I went to the military headquarters and found nothing.
The only way out is to hug someone's lap and become a licking dog for the big shot.
Luo Xin didn't want to suffer that injustice.
In comparison, ANBU suited his taste.
This department cannot appear in the open. No matter what it does, it will be covered up and it will have no social influence.
However, money will be given.
The kind that makes a lot of money.
In addition, in terms of management, ANBU is very loose.
ANBU teams all exist as small teams, and occasionally receive forced orders. At other times, they are free to do some private work. As long as they abide by the basic ANBU rules, there are no restrictions on their actions.
The identity of ANBU is also a black card. You have a lot of freedom in the mission. It doesn't matter if you do something bad. As long as you don't go too far, the officials will step in to suppress it.
More money, less work and freedom.
The price is that without social identity, the death rate of the entire department is as high as 77.2%, and successful retirements are all caused by various disabilities and illnesses.
No one from an aristocratic family would join. Those who would join the ANBU were either short of money, lonely, or outlaws.
Luo Xin is all stained.
After he learned about this department, he still decided to join.
Wealth and wealth are found in danger.
What he relies on is his ability.
The rarest and most dangerous concept in the superpower system. He can control the concept of 'quantity' and can tamper with the multiplier. His current strength can be adjusted from 0.01 to 100 times.
For example, magnify physical fitness 100 times.
For example, change the intermolecular force of an object to 0.01 times.
The current projection range is a spherical space with a radius of 5 meters. If the target exceeds the distance, the ability will be invalid, but the effect will not disappear.
He is very strong.
I didn’t get first place in graduation because I didn’t want to.
As a civilian, you still have to keep a low profile.
After all, the top 100 people are all famous and powerful families in the Moon City. He is the only commoner who stands out. If he takes the first place, doesn't that slap all the big shots in the face?
Eat a bowl of noodles and finish the soup.
The dishes were clean and there was nothing left.
It is his habit not to waste food.
There are customers coming in one after another inside the store, and Uncle Lin is busy.
Luo Xin stood up and said:
"Uncle Lin, I'm going back first."
"Come back and see more when you have the chance. Here, take it with you to eat on the way." Uncle Lin took out the packaged homemade beef in sauce and threw it to Luo Xin.
Luo Xin was not polite either, she hugged her and was about to leave.
There was a commotion outside.
A large number of floating trucks rushed past, bumping and smashing many things along the way, causing the shop owners to curse.
Soon the sirens blared loudly, accompanied by red and blue flashes, and drones roared past in conjunction with a large number of police cars.
A chase between police and robbers.
People looked outside, wondering what was going on.
A shopkeeper checked his cell phone and yelled: "Ouch! What a big event! Someone kidnapped Xing Ji! She was kidnapped in a nearby star port under the attention of hundreds of thousands of fans. Who is this kidnapper? So awesome.
13?”
"What!?"
Another passenger jumped up and screamed:
"My little star! I bought all the tickets for tomorrow's concert!"
Even Uncle Lin looked shocked and wailed, taking out his cell phone to check the situation.
Luo Xin has no feelings.
Xing Ji is a singer who debuted in the past two years. She is a superstar who is popular throughout the federation. She has hundreds of billions of fans. She is a talented girl from the Star Clan. It is said that her singing voice has magical power and can penetrate people's hearts. This time she comes to the moon
He was on tour in the city and was abducted as soon as he left the star port in front of hundreds of thousands of fans.
The chase continues.
Luo Xin is not interested in this, he is not star-chasing, and he doesn't care about his affairs.
One of the rules of ANBU: stay out of other people's business, and cannot participate in any incident without orders.
What if it was arranged by a certain big boss?
It's okay to join in, as long as you don't get discovered.
The federal police are not vegetarians. It won't be long before the kidnappers are caught.
Luo Xin left with the beef in sauce.
When he walked to the door, he froze on the spot, and the beef with soy sauce in his hand fell to the ground.
The suspended platform in front of the store was smashed.
His only means of transportation, the floating flying donkey that had been with him for several years, disappeared.
Luo Xin's expression twitched, she picked up the soy beef and returned to the store with a dark face.
Uncle Lin was puzzled and said:
"Luo Xin, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Lin, let me check the surveillance camera at the door."
He took out a paper bag, poked two holes in it and put it on his head.
The little flying donkey had been with him for several years and was still half of his remaining property, worth at least 2,000 star coins, but he lost it in a snap.
