May, sunny day.
At dusk, when Han Lang walked out of school with a shoulder bag on his back as usual, he threw the textbooks in the bag into the trash can. Three years of high school life ended like this, and these books no longer meant anything to him.
Every graduation season, there will always be similar scenes in various schools. It is a catharsis that has been suppressed for a long time. Compared with most students tearing up their textbooks and throwing them out of the window, Han Lang's approach is still more environmentally friendly.
A fat boy put his arm on Han Lang's shoulder. His name was Li Qi, and he was Han Lang's best friend.
In fact, Li Qi can't be considered a fat man. He just has a fairer skin and a slightly higher fat content than other boys because of his wealthy family and pampered relationship.
Li Qi said with a smile: "Finally graduated from this poor school, let's find a place to celebrate, I'll be the host!"
Is there a treat
The students responded one after another. Wang Yan, who was tall, stroked his short hair in embarrassment and said, "I won't go, and I have to prepare for the university entrance exam. After all, we are ordinary people without superpowers. If we fail the exam After going to university, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to find a job in the future.”
The atmosphere has become a little awkward. This is the era of the universe, and it is also a paradise for superpowers. Superpowers have money, power, women, and everything they want, while ordinary people are reduced to low-status commoners.
Since the advent of the era of superpowers, all the rules in the world have been changed, as if the world was prepared for superpowers. They can fly without buying tickets, stay in hotels without spending money, and do whatever they like. Work, go to the school you want to go to, even if you don't do anything, eat and die, and there is a monthly bonus from the Federation.
However, a large number of ordinary people have to face cruel competition, such as competition for places in schools and a limited number of jobs. Most ordinary people can only live a poor and humble life.
Although everyone has graduated from high school, they will start applying for college in a month. Not everyone is still interested in eating, drinking and having fun like the heartless Li Qi, and everyone is under a lot of pressure.
"Then I won't go, my mother is waiting for me to go home for dinner." Jiang Xiaoyan raised her glasses and said.
"Boring!" Li Qi gave her a blank look.
"I have to catch the subway, so..." Another female classmate said.
"You live right behind the school, catch your sister's subway!" Li Qi was a little anxious.
No matter how Li Qi tried to persuade him to stay, the students still rushed away. Han Lang also tidied up his shoulder bag, waved to Li Qi and said, "Not everyone is as rich as you, don't worry about the future, I'll go home gone."
"You can't go!" Li Qi jumped anxiously and said, "You think I have so much money to spend on dating these girls? Today is your birthday!"
Han Lang smiled slightly and said, "I know, my kindness is appreciated. I really have something to do today. When I find a job later, I will treat you to a meat bun."
"It's only you, a poor devil, who treats Roujiamo as a treasure. I was going to treat you to Japanese food today. There are scallops and peony shrimp that you like!" Li Qi tried to lure Han Lang with delicious food, but Han Lang Still unmoved.
"Anytime is fine, but today is really not possible." Han Lang smiled slightly and walked towards home without turning his head.
…
Every day on the way to and from school, Han Lang would pass by a superpower training school called Peak, and the school's advertisement was showing on the holographic advertising screen.
"Be the next Superman, you can do it!" said the strong man in the picture.
Han Lang didn't believe the story in the advertisement that turned an ordinary person into a person with superpowers. After all, superpowers are not Chinese cabbage, you can have them if you want them.
In the days when there were no supermen, the Earth Federation was tense and uneasy. In 2066 AD, Clark, the only five-star superpower on Earth, represented Earth to participate in the Galactic Conference. In the contest with the elites of the entire galaxy, Clark showed amazing Combat power makes those galactic powers look at the earth with admiration.
According to the law of the jungle in the Milky Way, if a planet is not protected by powerful superpowers, it needs to become a subsidiary colony of other powerful countries.
Nine years have passed in a blink of an eye. After participating in the last Galactic Conference, a generation of legendary Clark mysteriously disappeared without a trace, and there is no news of it so far.
Next year will be the date for the next Galactic Conference. If Superman Clark still has not returned by then, and the Earth Federation cannot send out superhumans as powerful as Clark, they will be annexed by those powerful forces that have been watching from afar. Become someone else's vassal.
In order to gain a foothold in the Milky Way, the Earth Federation is desperately looking for and cultivating super warriors, but with little success. After Clark, no one can break through the five-star superpower, and the earth has entered the countdown to fall.
Han Lang lived alone, in a cheap community not far from the school. The house was bought with a loan when his mother was still alive. It was a simple one-bedroom, about 30 square meters, with good sunlight.
Han Lang made himself a cup of black tea, sat in front of the computer, took off a silver necklace around his neck, took out a memory chip from the black pendant of the necklace, and stared at the fingernail-sized chip in a daze.
This is an important relic left by his mother to Han Lang. He made an agreement with his mother that he could only open it and read the data when he became an adult. Han Lang has kept the agreement with his mother for so many years.
In the past, human beings on Earth used the age of 18 as the limit of adulthood. In British legal countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, they were not considered adults until they were 21 years old. But now it is the interstellar era, and it is the convention of the Milky Way to reach adulthood at the age of 16. .
Today happened to be Han Lang's sixteenth birthday. According to his mother, he was born at midnight, and the current time is 6:15 in the afternoon, five hours and forty-five minutes before midnight.
"Time flies so slowly." Han Lang stared at the slowly beating second hand and said to himself, "It shouldn't matter if you open it a few hours in advance?"
Han Lang refused Li Qi's treat because of this long-awaited gift. He had long wanted to know what was so special about the data card that his mother solemnly handed him before his death. Every minute and every second of waiting was tormenting. Decided to be willful for a while.
Insert the data card into the notebook computer reader, the data shows that this is a standard 1000tb data card, and the retail price does not exceed twelve federal dollars.
slap~
Double-click the data card icon with your finger, but for some reason, the data card is not opened, but the infrared scanning device of the computer is automatically turned on, and a red light quickly skips Han Lang's body.
Infrared scanners are the standard configuration of computers in this era. They are mainly used in the medical field. People do not need to go to the hospital when they are sick. The infrared device will automatically scan the human body. If there are signs of illness, the medical software will issue a prescription. With the prescription, you can go to the pharmacy. According to the prescription, you can take the medicine, even if you are not sick, you can do regular physical examinations for yourself to improve your quality of life.
Only when the condition is serious, the medical system will suggest that the patient go to the hospital for treatment, and will automatically select the appropriate hospital for the patient, register automatically, and apply for a hospital bed, saving people from the trouble of queuing up in the hospital and reducing the burden on doctors. burden.
"Could it be a system error? I just want to open the data card, but why did the infrared scan turn on by itself?" Han Lang muttered to himself.
At this moment, a line of text suddenly appeared on the screen.
"The genetic testing is over, and the dark web login program is being unlocked..."
