[5 years old: You were old enough to attend kindergarten, but your parents couldn’t afford the tuition, so you played at ho by yourself.
You got to know so children from the neighborhood whose families were much like yours, and you had a lot of fun playing together.]
[6 years old: You started attending a nearby public elentary school.
The tuition wasn’t expensive, but there was a weekly fee of seventy federal coins for living expenses and classroom equipnt usage.
You didn’t know that the desks, benches, and the electronic paper book screens on the tables were chargeable, but your father warned you not to damage those devices.]
[7 years old: School life was relaxed; lessons started at nine in the morning and ended at three in the afternoon.
The teachers didn’t discipline you unless you ran around the classroom during lessons.
In spring and fall, photographers would co to the school to take pictures.
It was the only ti when the teacher would be especially gentle.
Later, you found out that these photography services weren’t free, costing 75 federal coins each.]
[8 years old: Your grades were not good, although everyone’s were poor, yours seed to be sowhat worse.
At the end of spring term, you got a D for the first ti.
During the holidays, the teacher had a talk with your mother.
After she ca ho, she locked herself in the house for a long ti.
You felt upset and wanted to comfort her, but you did not know how to, nor did you understand what it ant.]
[9 years old: The neighbor’s families all had two or three children, but there was only you in your family.
Since the ti you got a D, your mother started tutoring you every night, and your playti was greatly reduced.]
[10 years old: Your grades gradually improved, but the friends you once played with drifted away from you.
They thought you were deceiving them by studying in secret while they played.]

However, the cost of the tutoring class was not cheap.

[12 years old: Thanks to your excellent grades, you passed the entrance exam for a prestigious private middle school nearby and obtained a certain amount of scholarship.
Only then did you realize that people are different from one another.
Many classmates were driven to school by their parents, while you had to take a bumpy bus ride lasting over an hour.
Many students wore advanced smart bracelets; they talked about the latest movies, famous plays, literature and authors, and the scandals of celebrity idols.
You, having grown up so much, had never been to a movie theater even once.]
[13 years old: Because you didn’t have much in common with your classmates, you didn’t make many friends in class.
You had been one of the best students in your previous elentary school, but here, you found that everyone seed not much different from you.
When you were puzzled by a tough problem, your deskmate told you a clever solution you had never thought of, which his ho tutor had taught him in the fifth grade of elentary school.
The teachers in middle school were very confident; they explained each point comprehensively and substantively, which was a big change from your elentary school teachers who just read from the book and let you study on your own.
You realized that schools were different from each other.]
[14 years old: You were grateful to have co to this school.

You could potentially lose all your scholarships and even face expulsion.]
You thought everything had ended.
In the end, the school didn’t cancel your scholarship, but you lost the qualification to directly ascend to its high school program without examination.
You could certainly gain admission to the high school section of your own school through exams, which would have been easy given your grades, but you ultimately gave up on continuing at the sa school and worked hard to get into a better private high school in the city center.
It was one of the best middle schools in all of Lin City.
[Age 16: After entering high school, you discovered that the world around you had changed once again.
The people who drove students to school had changed from ‘parents’ during middle school to individuals who resembled butlers.]
So students drove themselves to school.
In most cities of the Federation, one could get a driver’s license at the age of 16, and the school had a special parking lot for students to park their luxury sedans or sports cars.]

[Age 18: You were admitted to Dawn University and received a scholarship.]

[Age 44: The company’s progress is hindered, with vague rumors of layoffs.
Summoned for a talk by the branch president, he was laid off.
Mortgage still has ten years to go, job search blocked by too many unemployed people.
Received six months of unemploynt benefits, yet still couldn’t find a job, and the insurance company would no longer pay the unemploynt relief.]
t with rejection everywhere, no companies were willing to hire managent staff, couldn’t compete with young people for physical labor jobs, streets were filled with unemployed wanderers.
To keep his daughter from worrying, he pretended to go to work every day.
The already modest savings dwindled little by little.
During his job search, he encountered an old middle school classmate who ntioned a ‘very lucrative’ part-ti job that they could introduce to him.
Subsequently, he was brought to an ordinary-looking research institute.
The staff at the research institute provided him with a volunteer application pledge.
Via the pledge, he learned that they were conducting a special dical experint that required living volunteers, might involve surgery, and did not guarantee to be harmless to humans.
The pledge required him to promise not to hold the institute accountable for any incidents that occurred.
And demanded confidentiality about everything related to the institute.
The experint seed bad, but the reward was substantial, providing a weekly volunteer stipend ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 federal coins.
The stipend was nearly equivalent to his inco before he was fired.
While he was carefully reading the pledge, a large number of unemployed youths ca in, talking with the research institute staff.
Most of them didn’t read the pledge, just signed their nas upon hearing there was a subsidy.
He asked the staff in detail about the risks of the experint, the content.
But the staff claid there was no danger, and said that they could only disclose parts of the experint’s content after he signed the pledge.
After he pressed several tis, they impatiently indicated he was free to leave if he was unwilling to participate.
But now he had no inco at all, not even finding a job that paid over five hundred federal coins weekly.
In the end, he signed his own na.
After he signed, a staff mber led him deeper into the research institute.
First, he went through a series of thorough physical examinations, and after ensuring there were no problems with his health, they imdiately handed him a digital check for 2,800 federal coins.
Then he was taken in an elevator, its floors unseen, only feeling it descending continuously.
Finally, he arrived in a pure white operating room, where a surgeon in scrubs and several male nurses stood.
The nurses asked him to lie on the operating table and took out a syringe, telling him,
Close your eyes, there will be no pain, and everything will be fine when you open them again.
He wanted to resist, to withdraw from the experint, but the nurses suddenly forced him down onto the operating table.]
[Your mission is: Find and destroy the ‘Fountain of Youth’]
[Have a pleasant ga]
What a ridiculous plot.
He Ao’s eyes snapped open.
The first thing he saw was the pure white light and a surgeon in blue scrubs holding a sharp scalpel, gesturing over his chest.
His gaze t the surgeon’s, and both of them were montarily stunned.
The surgeon looked up, towards the opposite side.
There, a nurse held an electronic injector.
Confused, the nurse glanced at the empty injector in hand, “This was already the highest dose; even if he were dead, he couldn’t possibly wake up.”
Shaking his head, he turned away and took out a larger dose of electronic injector filled with drugs from a silver cabinet behind him.
He Ao tried to move his body but realized his hands and feet were tied down to the operating table with so kind of restraints.
Twisting his head, he only saw two tal rings extending from under the operating table, securing his hands; he couldn’t see his feet, but they were likely the sa.
By that ti, the nurse had already raised the injector towards his arm.
At that mont, He Ao hesitated not a mont to activate Super mory.
An imnse force surged through his body, muscle after muscle bulged abruptly like a cage from his arm.
Bang!
The sturdy tal restraints shattered into countless fragnts in an instant, striking the surrounding walls.
At that instant, the two nurses at the back imdiately drew out two Gauss Pistols from their clothing and aid at He Ao.
Simultaneously, He Ao grabbed the still-intact part of the restraint device and tore off two pieces of tal, hurling them forwards.
Whoosh—
Accompanied by a sharp, whistling sound, the two tal fragnts pierced through the foreheads of the nurses at the back, the sharp tal exiting through the back of their heads, hitting the wall behind them.
“Ah!!!”
The man holding the injector raised his hand, violently stabbing the injector towards He Ao’s arm.
It contained a lethal dose of anesthetic.
He Ao dodged to one side, half-sitting up, and swiftly grabbed the man’s neck and twisted.
Crack—
Then, with a faint sound, the ‘nurse’ slumped to the floor like a puppet with its supports cut.
He Ao bent his legs with force, and the restraints on his feet also shattered instantly.
He leapt from the operating table, landing beside a rack of hanging clothes, casually pulled his jacket off the rack and draped it over his body, covering his bare upper half.
The whole process was seamless, without a hint of hesitation.
This ‘operating room’ was clearly not up to standard; the patient’s clothes were hung haphazardly everywhere.
