Chapter 1: The Fallen Morning Star
"Less than fifteen in the brain domain! Isn't that just scrap wood? ”
The girl knew that she was speechless, and quickly covered her small mouth, as if her little mouth was not controlled by her brain, and she could only close it with her hands, which was too rude to describe others, especially if the person was sitting opposite.
"Slut! You're the scrap! Get lost! The girl looked at her idol in astonishment, the Academy's recognized star of tomorrow, a mecha fighter with the reputation of the Golden Lion, who was always gentle and elegant unless he was fighting, and it was not difficult to imagine that sooner or later he would become the pride of the Empire. Why is he so out of shape, for a waste of wood, like a raging beast.
After a while, the party broke up,
"Brother, I know you've been in a bad mood lately, and I originally wanted to find you out to relax." The lion's anger did not subside, but it was soon overwhelmed by guilt.
The boy called the waste material is called Chen Fang, the golden lion's nemesis, eighteen or nineteen years old, with black hair covering his eyes, and even blocking the contours of his face, and his faintly exposed skin is bloodless.
"If others don't say it, am I not a waste material? Your cover-up is more uncomfortable than her confession. Chen Fang did not appreciate the hard work of his friends, for seven years, he was surrounded by this kind of cover all the time, it is true that the people around him are well-intentioned, but for men, this is more unbearable than anything else, it is better than contempt.
"Nope! You're my best friend, no one can say that about you, I won't allow it! If you're all waste, what can I count? The lion roared again.
"Don't go on, for the sake of our friends." Chen Fang interrupted his friend's hysteria in time.
"I'm sorry." The lion woke up suddenly and subconsciously apologized, this was an agreement between the two of them, no matter what time it was, he could not reveal his identity.
Chen Fang has the qualifications to enter the Imperial Academy, with his extraordinary talent, even if he is completely incapacitated, he can also make achievements in academics, he doesn't want others to know that the Chen family, which is in power in the empire, and the third son, who was once the most proud, is now a waste material, and he is willing to give up the opportunity if he does not want to disgrace the family.
There has never been a shortage of mediocre people in this world, others are qualified to survive in the way of the weak, but Chen Fang does not have it, and he does not want to, he never attends public occasions, and he is even more unwilling to admit his identity.
In addition, Chen Fang also has an identity that he does not want to be revealed, butcher, this name does not belong to any empire, but a legend covering all the galaxies of the alliance, Skynet's mecha virtual confrontation system, a god-like existence.
As exaggerated as it sounds, in addition to a three-year unbeaten streak, the Butcher's shine lies in his unique style.
Fragile physique can not withstand the impact of manipulating mechas, Chen Fang can only prove himself in the virtual confrontation system, the original code name is a string of meaningless numbers, the nickname of the butcher is given by fanatical supporters, accustomed to gorgeous difficult techniques, simple and ferocious killings make the viewer fascinated, each victory of the butcher proves that the battle can be as simple as slaughter.
In fact, due to his physique, Chen Fang never fantasized about challenging the limit, and it was difficult to complete difficult skills with manual control, so he chose simple combat purely out of necessity.
The Golden Lion is no exception to be obsessed with this technique, and for a period of time he pestered Chen Fang for advice, but when he learned that this seemingly simple technique is not simple, and it has nothing to do with the original, but is based on digital analysis, and if you want to get started, you must first have the quality of a top data engineer, so he gave up very interestingly.
Top data scientists are miracles in themselves, and many professions cannot be successful with hard work, and talent is the primary factor.
What would happen if the butcher's secret was leaked, I'm afraid many people didn't want to believe it, maybe Chen Fang would become a clown, of course, he would definitely get countless sympathies and regrets, but that was exactly what he hated.
Hesitating, he saw Chen Fang put his hand on the edge of the table, as if he wanted to stand up, and hurriedly went up to help, it was not difficult to complete this action, the terrible thing was that a fall, even an unintentional bump, could cause his best friend to break a bone.
Chen Fang stopped his movements and reminded very seriously: "Before the age of twenty-one, I can still stand up and help with my own efforts, I want to live with dignity." ”
The lion let go at a loss, letting his friend go, his eyes full of despair.
The lion did not complain about his brother's disappreciation, the brother wanted to be the same as before, he did not need the pity of others, and he was not qualified to pity him, but the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
Ten years ago, the lion did not live up to today's scenery, Chen Fang was not weak, on the contrary, at that time, the lion was very down, the family was down, and he was often bullied by the children of the nobles, and the only person who defended him was Chen Fang, and the two were like brothers.
Later, the father of the golden lion gained power, also thanks to the help of the Chen family, speaking of which, this help is not unrelated to the friendship of the children.
Politicians have always spared no effort in cultivating their connections, and the close relationship between the two children is enough to convince the adults of the Chen family that this relationship can be maintained until they reach adulthood, step into politics or the military, and the lion is also a material that can be created, and it is bound to become the most reliable help for Chen Fang.
Seven years ago, Chen Fang went hunting with his grandfather to a foreign land, and an iron-spine bear put his grandfather and grandson in danger, this wild beast that haunts the barren land is fierce and powerful, covered with hard scales, completely ignoring the bullets fired from the shotgun, and on that occasion, the twelve-year-old Chen Fang pierced the eye of the iron-spine bear with a short blade, and single-handedly dragged the seriously injured grandfather back to the camp, although he was seriously injured, the grandfather and grandson escaped.
It is undeniable that there is an element of luck in that knife, and Chen Fang's courage is beyond doubt.
For a while, the grandfather, who was the secretary of state, frequently showed off his grandson's bravery in the media, and even made a necklace of the teeth of the iron-spine bear on his chest and never left his body.
The good times did not last long, not long after returning from the outer land, Chen Fang was found to be infected with an unknown virus, and batches of famous doctors were helpless, he became weaker and weaker day by day, his muscles atrophied, and the calcium in his bones dissolved in the blood like sugar, and finally became as fragile as glass, and after three months, he had to rely on auxiliary methods to maintain his body functions.
If the doctor's diagnosis is correct, he will be completely incapacitated at the age of twenty-one, unable to take care of himself, no different from a vegetative state, it is difficult to imagine how he can survive in that way, of course, the deterioration of the condition will not come suddenly, from the age of twenty, the failure of the body functions will be aggravated, and this year, he will be nineteen years old.
The closer to that time, the more bizarre Chen Fang's actions become, after he became ill, he lived a life without leaving home, at first he was still intoxicated with digital analysis, and he spent his energy on the virtual platform early, but in the past three months, he suddenly stopped all activities, two days ago, at Chen Fang's strong request, his marriage contract with Lu Lingxue was dissolved, what prompted him to give up the most beautiful woman in the empire?
There are all kinds of signs that something bad is about to happen, the golden lion is more and more worried about his brother, and he has to come up with this strategy, lying that he met his girlfriend and asked his brother to help with the staff, who thought that it would be self-defeating, and things were messed up, and blamed the big-breasted woman.
A week later, the Golden Lion's fears came true.
Chen Fang disappeared, as if he suddenly evaporated in the world, and no trace could be found in the customs and port affairs.
This is a planned exodus, Chen Fang is a top data engineer, and he is fully capable of getting a new identity for himself, without much effort. The purpose of his departure is not to find short, it is the behavior of the weak, Chen Fang wants to experience the life he wants in the rest of his life, and to finish the road of life in the way of the strong, he needs to fight, and at the same time, he does not want to be helpless in front of his relatives to become a pair of rotten meat.
Chen Fang knew very well that no imperial army would accept a guy with less than fifteen brains, who was as fragile as a piece of glass, and had no choice but to be a mercenary.
There is almost no limit to joining the mercenaries, completely using natural elimination, the strong survive, the weak die, this rule creates a strong existence, from the occasional passing by the guys around you can see, they bare strong muscles, but by no means out of pretense, no matter what kind of weather, they like to wear leather clothes, open the zipper when it's hot, and close it when it's cold.
It wasn't long before Chen Fang learned the reason why they loved leather clothes, and they did as the locals did, after all, if you don't plan to do laundry and don't have the money to buy a lot of clothes, you can't find a better choice than leather clothes.
Most of the mercenaries are unkempt, they don't have to prove themselves with their images, but with strength, and they can't see courage in their empty eyes, because there is no need at all, fighting is their life, just like eating and sleeping.
Mercenaries don't like evenly matched battles, they must consider the cost, win more with less, the bonus is not enough if there are too many people, and the battle loses its meaning, in contrast, the quality and tacit understanding of teammates is more important, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.
In the Empire's army, many mercenaries have enough combat exploits to move up to high positions, but they still fight as always, and only such an environment can cultivate strong people.
Thinking of being able to fight with the strong, there was a faint feeling of boiling blood in his weak body.
Chen Fang looked at the terminal display screen on his arm vigilantly, and made sure that there was no abnormality in the vital function, so he put his mind at ease, buried his head and continued to fill in the resume, and after completion, he handed it to the staff, it was an overweight middle-aged woman, and the cigarette on her fingertips was spicy and abnormal, which made people dizzy.
