In the manor of the Lees of Philadelphia, who had been shrouded in a heroic aura for decades, the War God Li Pifu, who was incomparably respected by the citizens of the Federation, had seriously considered taking care of a pitiful and innocent little apprentice. Unfortunately, according to the central computer of the Bureau of Proclamation, the little apprentice was already dead. Therefore, everyone in the Federation believed that the little apprentice could not possibly still be alive.
Of course, Xu Le was not dead. He also did not know that the Lees of Philadelphia had tried to find him and take care of him. He also did not know that Uncle Feng Yu had any relationship with the Lees of Philadelphia. Even the rotten teeth that he had ridiculed for many years were actually … personally knocked out by the War God. If he knew these shocking secrets, would he have touched Feng Yu's rotten teeth with a gaze of worship? If he knew all of these, perhaps he would understand why, in the bloody twilight above the mine, when Uncle Feng Yu mentioned the old man that everyone in the Federation respected, he actually used the three words "old man" without any respect.
At this time, Xu Le was eating in a simple three-story building. He used a knife and fork to strenuously cut the wild beef on his plate. From time to time, he would raise his head to look at the unstable light patterns on the wall. The television was still talking about the election of the local state management committee members, and it also mentioned the secret operation in the Eastwoods Region. Any secret operation of the Federation could be labeled as a shady operation by the opposition members. Using George Carlin's theory, they would hoarsely criticize it. However, as the person involved, Xu Le did not have this kind of interest. He knew that there was a shady operation behind the uncle's death, but that shady operation should have fallen many years ago.
The wild beef on the plate was very hard. He had just dug it out of the freezer yesterday. He did not know how many years it had been frozen, but the meat did not have any freshness. Fortunately, it did not go bad. He ate it like a piece of wood and digested it. For Xu Le, it was much better than synthetic food. At this time, it was already the end of summer. The air conditioning system that he had just repaired began to send in a cool breeze, but it did not have time to drive away the heat. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and finished the beef on the plate as fast as he could. He rubbed his stomach and somewhat unsatisfied walked into the house. He began to rummage and memorize the bits and pieces.
According to the government's Land Management Bureau, this three-story building belonged to Xu Le. In other words, this was the home of the retired soldier Xu Le. Six months into Ewha University's summer vacation, Xu Le took out the ticket that he had bought a long time ago and embarked on the journey back to his "home". In order to live a safer life in the Federation, he had to know where his home was. He had to familiarize himself with the local life and customs as much as possible, and even the possible accent. This way, he would not give himself away as much as possible. Shi Qinghai easily saw that he was a person with a secret, so Xu Le had to be more cautious. However, he did not expect that the "home" that the uncle had set for his disguise chip was so far away. He took a seven-hour flight from Linhai Airport, an eleven-hour bus ride, and finally walked for half a day before he arrived at this small town.
He had already stayed in this small town for a few days, and he was more and more shocked by Uncle Feng Yu's ability. The choice of this small town was too awesome. Not only was it remote, but because of the landslides, most of the residents had moved into the new settlement opened by the state government. Even the few residents who stayed in the town had mostly forgotten who the three-story building belonged to. It was a very inexplicable thing, wasn't it? In fact, it was just the burden of life that made the few residents lose all interest in inquiring about gossip. The town's primary school and middle school had been closed a few years ago, which made Xu Le feel more at ease. He was also endlessly curious about Feng Yu's ability.
To be able to choose such a perfect disguise, one must enter the high-level central control computer of the Federation for a long time to filter through the information. It even meant that Feng Yu had once hacked into the all-knowing central control computer of the Bureau of Proclamation!
Xu Le took a shower and stood on the balcony, memorizing the scenery of the small town and the unique plants in his mind. At the same time, he connected the information with reality again to strengthen his memory. He subconsciously touched the metal bracelet on his wrist and thought of the chips on the thin metal wires inside. A single chip represented a brand new identity that no one knew about. If it was as difficult to find a loophole as his current identity, how long would it take to prepare?
Thinking of the wild beef hidden in the freezer for many years, a sincere and praying smile appeared on Xu Le's ordinary and sincere face.
...
...
After ending the summer trip back to his hometown, Xu Le returned to Linhai University after a long and arduous journey. In addition to confirming his new identity, this trip also gave him some mental impact. Only now did he know that the Eastwoods region was not the poorest region in the Federation. That small town called Light was the one that was truly poor. He could not understand how such a prosperous and developed Federation, especially on the most core planet of the capital ring, could exist in such a place. There was even a profession like a farmer, and not the kind that was performed on stage … Thinking of the pair of siblings he had met before, Xu Le had a deeper understanding of the injustice of this society. However, he did not know how this injustice came about, and how to solve it. Subconsciously, he still did not have a good impression of the Federation government. Instead, he was curious about the anti-government forces and vaguely recognized them.
At the beginning of September, the campus of Ewha University opened again. Xu Le once again began his boring, shuttling back and forth between the teaching buildings and his room. As expected, Ewha University's basic engineering education had a strength that did not match its reputation. Xu Le eagerly absorbed the knowledge, such as the operating principle of the Jingnong brand's high energy storage battery, the data compatibility parameters of the three systems in a closed structure, the law of the automatic layer jumping of the crystal ores under illumination …
Tomorrow, he would begin to enter the laboratory building and begin practical learning. When Xu Le thought of this, he felt the skin on his hands begin to itch. It had been more than a year since he left Eastwoods and the miners' operation room. Other than making himself a self-defense stun baton, it had been a long time since he came into contact with electronic boards, pipes, and metal … That wonderful tactile feeling and the faint smell of high-energy plastic made him miss them very much.
"What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about applying for a job at Shang Lin Guogui Company in the future? "A low and cold voice pulled Xu Le out of his thoughts. Stunned, he stopped rubbing his hands and looked at the girl across the table. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I was thinking about tomorrow's experiment class. Will Professor Zhou let us assemble the equipment ourselves?"
Yes, in the peaceful university life, the biggest change in Xu Le's life was probably the girl across the table who habitually wore high-heeled glasses. She was so quiet and pure that she even seemed a little cold.
When the black Phantom car drove into Pear Garden, Xu Le and Zhang Xiaomeng both recognized each other. From that day onwards, they would occasionally meet on campus. As the number of nods and greetings increased, they began to sit together and eat. Although this attracted many puzzled gazes, they did not understand why Zhang Xiaomeng, who came from a good family, would be so close to the gatekeeper. Although Xu Le did not like to be the center of attention, he still liked to sit together with Zhang Xiaomeng.
Zhang Xiaomeng looked at the nerd across from her and sighed in her heart. The Federation Investigation Bureau's surveillance team finally withdrew after a semester. The students on campus had also gotten used to their return from S2. Everything returned to normal. The target she wanted to get in touch with seemed to have disappeared from the campus forever. If this continued, she even wondered if she had really become an innocent student.
Eating with Xu Le didn't mean anything to her. She just thought that a retired soldier who worked as a concierge, studied in school, and wanted to enter the Nutshell Company as a mechanical engineer in the future was really a very hardworking young man. She appreciated this very much. At the same time, she wanted to treat Xu Le to a few more meals. Perhaps it was because she once ate his dog biscuits and misunderstood him. Also, she guessed that Xu Le's financial situation was not particularly good. As for why they met at the airport bus, she thought it was because of the benefits given by the Department of Defense for retired soldiers.
"Next month is the Double Moon Festival. There's a school dance." Zhang Xiaomeng looked at him and said, "I need a male companion. Are you willing to go with me?"
After hearing this request, Xu Le did not immediately speak. Zhang Xiaomeng looked at him quietly. She did not understand why she suddenly made such a request. Seeing that Xu Le did not speak for a long time, a trace of disappointment flashed through her heart. She was not disappointed that Xu Le refused, but that Xu Le was afraid of being looked at differently and retreated. Maybe she really did have to go to that boring but necessary dance alone.
"I have the money to buy suitable clothes. If you don't have a blind date at the ball, and if you don't have people chasing after you, you don't need me to be your temporary boyfriend or shield. "Xu Le looked up and said seriously," Then I'm willing to go with you. "
Hearing so many prerequisites, Zhang Xiaomeng was not angry. Instead, she smiled happily. A bright light flashed through her glasses.
