Chapter 1

"Can't see me, can't see me..."

There was a thick layer of dust on the ground of the dark and dilapidated building.Outside, a flying star beast was flying around the building. It hit the crumbling building from time to time, trying to find something that could fill the gap between its teeth.

There was a little girl sitting in the corner of the room. She covered her mouth and nose with her hands, shivering and huddled up.

She is praying -

"Can't see me, can't see me..."

Another person was found by the star beast. The star beast stretched its neck and pulled the person out and swallowed him whole.

The man brought up a small piece of ashes when he was pulled out of the building——

"Ahhh-"

The little girl with black hair and golden eyes huddled in the corner and sneezed.She was startled for a moment and raised her head in fear.

Just in time to meet the ferocious eyes of the star beast.

The star beast discovered her.

In an instant, fear surged into my heart.

The dilapidated building was instantly smashed into pieces by the star beast. The little girl stood up and tried to escape, but was buried by the cracked building materials.

"what--"

In her sleep, Shen Liang twitched on the bed in the dormitory. The thin quilt was kicked to the ground by her twitching, and the old iron bed in disrepair made a clanking sound.

She was awakened by the shaking of the bed.

Then, she tiptoed out of bed and went to the public restroom, washed her face, and checked the time.

It was six-thirty, half an hour before the alarm clock she set to wake up.

But she woke up and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply washed up, changed into her school uniform, and went to the training ground to practice physical fitness.

This is a school that only accepts orphans in the west of the star numbered 00155189. It is located on the Balan Defense Line at the junction of the Boch Federation and the Vaslow Federation, and belongs to the Balan System of the No. 13 Military Region.

In the early morning, the morning light should have been dim, but the sky was gray. Under the sky, the walls of the building were peeling off, a strong pungent smell emitted from the school's training ground, the flowerbed outside the building was overgrown, and the roof inside the building was leaking.

The water leaking from the ceiling dripped on the ground, and over time, yellow stains fell out.

The dormitory is a renovated building from an unknown era. Walking in from the dormitory door, there are small eight-person rooms on both sides of the corridor, and at the end of the corridor is a public toilet.

The teaching building is also in dilapidated condition. In the past few years, bricks falling from the outer wall of the building have injured school students.

One big word is written in every detail of this school——

broken.

As an orphan, Shen Liang's mental strength barely reached the A-level standard, so she became an ordinary student in the school's Mecha Individual Preparatory Class at a young age.

At this moment, she finished her run, went to the cafeteria to use her meal card to buy a bottle of nutritional solution and an energy bar, and took her breakfast to the classroom.

"The theme of our class today is the history of the development of the Boch Federation in the past hundred years."

Shen Liang was a little late. She sneaked into the classroom through the back door and sat in her seat in the second to last row.The teacher who was giving a lecture on the podium glared at her.

She lowered her head silently and found the book "History of the Development of the Federation" from Guang Nao.

"Shen Liang." Her deskmate poked her.

Shen Liang looked up, and her deskmate Zhou Li handed her a flyer: "Part-time job. The pay is good. Do you want to know?"

"Professional debt collection? Are you asking for a beating?" Shen Liang glanced at the flyer, "Forget it, sister, the principal will fire you personally if you are found out."

Zhou Li: "Aren't you short of money?"

Shen Liang: "I'm fine, I don't need anything."

Zhou Li: "In the mecha practical class next semester, do you have the money to buy a mecha?"

Shen Liang cursed in a low voice: "I've been busy training recently, and I forgot about it!"

The teacher who was lecturing on the podium glared at her: "Student Shen Liang, please stand up and answer the question I just asked."

Shen Liang stood up and winked at Zhou Li - "What question did he just ask?"

Zhou Li shrugged——

"I don't know, I didn't listen either."

Teacher: "Zhou Li, come here."

Zhou Li stood up slowly, lowered his head, and was ready to face the teacher's anger.

The two were driven to the back door of the classroom and forced to stand.

The teacher was chattering non-stop: "Some students have average talent and mental strength, their spiritual bodies are not awakened, their grades in federal history are at the bottom of the class, and they have no self-knowledge at all."

Shen Liang was so angry that she showed off three more bowls of dumpling noodles at noon.

"He said that I don't know myself." Shen Liang held food in his mouth and said in a slurred voice, "But I think I am quite self-aware. I know that I am not good at studying federal history, and I never said that I am not good at federal history. Very good, right? That thing is so complicated, who can remember it!"

Zhou Li bit her chopsticks and looked at Shen Liang silently.

"Every time you eat an extra bite, you will get an extra bite of money." She interrupted Shen Liang when she was about to get the fourth bowl of dumpling noodles. "Look at how much is left in your meal card? Is it enough to last? When the subsidy is paid next month? And then next semester, you have to prepare your own mecha..."

Shen Liang put down his chopsticks.She calculated her meal card balance and federal account balance, and instantly lost her appetite: "Besides collecting debts, are there any other ways to make money?"

Zhou Li began to imitate Shen Liang in a weird way: "I'm fine, I don't need anything."

Shen Liang pretended to be innocent and didn't understand: "If you don't need it, lend me some."

Zhou Li: "Do you think I'm rich?"

The two stared at each other.

Shen Liang sighed: "Forget it, let's go outside after school today and see if there are any jobs that are lacking."

In the evening, the two took a public aircraft to Shuangxuan Park.Double Choice Park has the most obvious characteristics of Star 00155189 - remote and dilapidated.

The park is full of employers recruiting workers and people looking for work.All job postings scroll on a large screen in the center of the park.

"Looking for citizens of the Vaslow or Bochi Federation who have supernatural powers or have awakened their spiritual bodies."

Zhou Li held a lollipop in his mouth: "Can people from Vasluo come to us to find jobs?"

Shen Liang explained: "Just a few months ago, I just let go."

Zhou Li said "Oh" and opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Shen Liang smirked: "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Li pouted: "Forget it, I won't make any comments."

Many Vaslow people who heard the conversation between the two glared at the two.

Shen Liang shrugged, hooked Zhou Li's neck, and dragged her away.

"Let's go, sisters." Shen Liang sneered, "If someone puts a sack on your head later, I won't be able to help you."

"Hiring a mecha master with a lot of money." Zhou Li read the recruitment information with regret, "What a pity, I am not a mecha master. Otherwise, I would have rushed."

"There are two more people looking for commanders below." Shen Liang pointed to a recruitment message below, "Look at the compensation offered above.

Zhou Li covered Shen Liang's mouth: "You want to be beaten with me?"

Shen Liang shook his head and pointed at the big screen.

"Recruiting a sparring partner. Requirements: mental strength level B or above, and ability to fight. The hourly salary is 500 federal coins."

Zhou Li let go of the hand covering Shen Liang's mouth: "Are you so high?"

Shen Liang put his hands in the pockets of his sweater and said lazily, "Sign up to try?"

Zhou Li: "I'm not very good at fighting. But you can try. After all, your fighting skills were trained by Teacher Xia himself."

She watched with a smile as Shen Liang used his brain to sign up, then took her arm and left happily.
