Chapter 1: Li Lin

The breeze was blowing, and the sky was dyed with a layer of purple-red clouds by the morning glow. Quiet, peaceful, the first rays of the morning sun dispel the darkness through the clouds.

On a flyover in the center of Tianfu District, one of the thirteen regions of Asia, some people are wandering in it, playing chess, enjoying the shade, or leaning on the railing to look down on the city. The traffic is busy, the neon lights are shining, the air buses are already busy, the automatic police cars are patrolling round and round, and the various hovercars on the ground are drawing charming streamers.

"Li Lin, it's almost the third year of high school, what university do you plan to apply for after graduation?" A young man with a Chinese face leaned on the railing of the overpass, looking at the beautiful scenery under the overpass and asked lazily.

"Graduation? Well...... I'm going to go to a military academy to develop, what about you? Li Lin smiled lightly.

"Military school, hey, it's a pity that you have such a good talent in physics and mathematics that you went to a military school. If you choose any university of science and technology, you will definitely have a grand stroke in the history of human science. Yes! Why do you hit me on the head again, I'm going to be stupid. ”

"When can you kid stop being so big, when can you be serious and tell you serious things!" Li Lin looked helpless.

"I'm not serious, hehe... My ambition is to go to the best economic university on the planet, to build a huge business empire in the future, and I want to be the richest person in the entire galaxy, nay, in the entire universe. After saying that, he ran away, because he knew that if he didn't run, he would have another slap on the head.

The young man who questioned him was named Zhang Yu, and he was Li Lin's brother who grew up wearing open crotch pants together.

Looking at the back of this brother who has played since he was a child, he smiled Yaoyao's head.

"Also, I've heard that there are a lot of beautiful cuties in the Department of Economics."

The voice came from afar, fortunately, there are not many people on this flyover, otherwise I am afraid that even a calm person like Li Lin would not have the face to continue to stay.

After laughing, Li Lin pondered. He could feel the hint of yearning, firmness, self-confidence and persistence hidden in the pompous surface when Zhang Yu said that he wanted to build a business empire. Li Lin, who grew up with Tang Sheng since childhood, naturally knows his brother's character clearly, although he is usually more nervous, but his persistence in his bones is not inferior to his own, and sometimes even excessive. But in today's world, ordinary people can't even get out of the earth, let alone such an almost whimsical goal.

"College Entrance Examination, College Entrance Examination ......" Li Lin leaned his back against the railing, looked up at the sky that had just been brightened, and muttered.

Li Lin, an ordinary high school student who can no longer be ordinary, is an orphan who was adopted by an old man who opened a repair shop since he was a child. At the age of seventeen, he is facing an important turning point in his life, the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination, a rather ancient word, has been maintained for nearly two thousand years, and it is still as stable as a 10,000-year-old pine, and it is truly not ancient for a thousand years. Not only has its status never declined, but on the contrary, it has become more and more important. This is the most effective way for the Federation to select talents for the general public.

And Li Lin's achievements can only be said to be extremely ordinary, and he is not as talented as Zhang Yu said. It's just that physics and mathematics are really outstanding, but all the high school students are basic physics and mathematics theories, and there are many people with excellent grades. What's more, Li Lin's other subjects may be quite the same in an ordinary middle school, but in Tianfu School, a continental-level middle school, there is only a lower middle level. On the whole, Li Lin's math and science scores are only a small wave in the sea, as their principal said; "Don't talk about any single subject champion here, if you spend all your time learning one or two subjects, in terms of high school textbooks, pigs can be excellent."

Li Lin's high school is the best high school in Tianfu District, one of the thirteen districts in Asia, and there are many geniuses among them. However, these people are almost two parallel lines to Li Lin, and they have nothing to do with each other.

With Li Lin's grades, he can only go to some second- and third-rate universities, which are not big or small, and he will only work hard for food, drink, housing and transportation after graduating from college in the future. And most people are deeply tired of such a life, and Li Lin is certainly no exception. Therefore, he plans to go to the military academy and join the army in the future, even if he can't be a captain or general in the future, it's not bad to be a mecha warrior. In this era, every man has a mecha dream, fantasizing about driving a dazzling mecha.

But Li Lin knew that the military school he attended with his grades, even if he went to the army after graduation, at most he could only serve in the standing army of the earth, and once the six-year service period expired, if he did not transfer to a non-commissioned officer, he could only roll up and go home, and then do what he wanted, during the six years, I am afraid that he would not even have a chance to touch the mecha.

"When the time comes, I'll follow the old man's path! Maintenance, hehe, it would be nice if it was a mecha battleship or something, but unfortunately, there are only household appliances here" Li Lin laughed at himself and shook his head.

Speaking of the old man, this is a person who has really been good to Li Lin since he was a child and cares about Li Lin, his name is Saiga, everyone calls him Old Saiga, and he himself calls himself this. Although the old man is kind to himself, although he doesn't say it, Li Lin's heart is like a mirror, and he has always regarded him as the most respected elder. It's just that the old man has a strange temper, and he is usually an old naughty boy who is alive and well, and often plays with Li Lin. But once it comes to maintenance, he is harsh on Li Lin in every way, more severe than his biological father, and even the slightest negligence will attract a scolding.

Two years ago, the old man Saiga threw Li Lin, who was still a half-grown child, in the repair shop alone. When Li Lin saw the letter left by the old man for him that morning, his eyes immediately darkened, and he almost fainted. The old man said in his heart that her wife was seriously ill and wanted to see her. But Li Lin knew that he had always been a bachelor in his 150s, and he had never heard him mention having a wife in 15 years. Otherwise, with the old man's temperament, he would have already told Li Lin about his love history and grinded calluses in his ears. What's worse is that the old man also swept away all the savings in the store.

Since then, Li Lin has started a hard life of opening a store and learning at the same time.

Isn't it self-reliance, what's so difficult, in terms of maintenance level, I don't lose to you at all a bad old man. Yes, although Li Lin is not good at learning, he is indeed very talented in mechanics. Even old Saiga once secretly marveled.

The old man once told Li Lin after getting drunk, "You kid is a genius, and he has the true inheritance of my old Saiga, not to mention anything else, at your current level, even if it is a space battleship, you can serve as a major cultivator." In front of the two of us, what math experts, physics experts, are all children playing at home. Don't underestimate our mechanics, every mechanic is a genius in physics and mathematics, otherwise, how to play with those big machines. Mechanic, no matter what galaxy you are in, it is the most precious resource, and it is a blessing for you to meet my old man...... "Before he finished speaking, he fell into bed and snored.

However, Li Linquan said that his old man was deflated. For example, your dad is drunk and tells you that you are Superman, you are the savior of the earth, will you take this to heart.

Besides, according to his old man's words, isn't his grade the first in the school? Of course, the old man also had an explanation for this, he said that those high school teachers can have any real skills, you go to ancient times and tell them that there is a weapon to bombard a city, can they understand? Suddenly, Li Lin was speechless.

What is the grandmaster of mathematics and physics, Li Lin thinks that he should be a grandmaster of science fiction, and the head of what he says is the Tao, which is similar to the truth, but Mao has no use. Even some theories are complacently fiddled out in class, but they attract ridicule from classmates and blank eyes from teachers. But the old man was reluctant to force him to learn, but Li Lin was also happy to do it, and whenever he finished the homework assigned by the old man, he would have some small rewards. When I grew up, I slowly found the moment of satisfaction when solving a problem. There are some things that Li Lin also thinks seems to be feasible, but he has a real sense of whimsy. And learning the "soil law" taught by the old man, maintenance has indeed become handy.

Although Li Lin's own skills are undoubted, but no one knows, the master is gone, who would believe that a half-old child can be so complicated in electronic maintenance.

So Li Lin was tragic again, but fortunately, Zhang Yu's family has always regarded him as a family, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

Gradually, the repair shop finally welcomed customers. There is no way, the old Saiga has excellent technology and is cheap and affordable, so there are no peers in this area, and people are also dead horses as live horse doctors, so they don't have much hope at all. As a result, the repaired ones were more durable than the newly bought ones, and the name of the young repairman spread all the time.

People in this area have more or less heard about this child. It is not only the affirmation of his technology, but also the sympathy for him, people have never been stingy with the maintenance money they give, and they all say that civilians show truth, goodness and beauty, Li Lin is deeply touched.

Looking back on the past, I can't help but feel that my life is quite rich. The gloom in my heart has also dissipated with the darkness of dawn, and the morning sun has illuminated the heavens.

"The earth is still spinning, life still has to go on, come on, believe in yourself, you can do it, Li Lin."

Li Lin looked at the rising sun in the east and whispered to himself.

A middle-aged uncle next to him heard Li Lin's whisper and laughed: "Young man, you have some energy, come on, uncle, I am optimistic about you." With that, he turned and left.

Tang Qi had been observing this kid here for a while. With his countless experience of reading people, he was attracted by Li Lin at a glance, and his intuition told him that this person was not simple, and the heroism between his eyebrows and eyes was so different. But when I looked closer, I didn't find anything, as if it were an illusion.

Looking at the back of the uncle leaving, Li Lin showed a puzzled expression.

"Tick tock......" alarm went off, look at your wrist, it's half past six, it's time to train......

If you want to go to a military academy, no strong body can do it, even if it's just the standing army of the earth. Li Lin has insisted on exercising every morning since he was a child, rain or shine, of course, he was forced by the old man when he was a child, and then he gradually liked the feeling of sweating, and now he is fighting for his future.

When you come to the abandoned Red Star Arsenal, you will start with a 10-kilometer run, which is a daily must-have and can train your endurance well.

The Red Star Arsenal was formerly a manufacturer of mecha shells and common parts. Because the director of the factory filled his pockets, the product quality was seriously substandard, causing serious losses, so he was sealed by the government and moved away the production machine tools, and this arsenal was completely abandoned.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Lin, he only knows that this game is big enough, there is a natural obstacle track, and some sporadic metal is the best free sports equipment, this is his paradise.

After the ten-kilometer run was completed, Li Lin, who was sweating profusely, did not stop to rest, and men sometimes just want to be ruthless themselves.

After the long-distance run, Li Lin did a gymnastics, which is a universal aerobics in the world, and almost everyone knows it. But there are very few people who can stick to it every day, and most of them are elderly. Intuition told Li Lin that this was not just ordinary aerobics, every time Li Lin finished his workout, he did this set of exercises, his fatigue was significantly reduced, and there was an indescribable feeling, as if his brain was clearer.

After that, there is the obstacle passage, which consists of various discarded machine tools, crossbars, branch pipe racks and other parts. This is Li Lin's favorite project, which is thrilling and exciting, and can also exercise the body's reaction speed, physical agility and whole-body coordination.

After three laps, Li Lin felt like he had just been fished out of the water, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. Panting, Li Lin lay on his back on the lawn, looking at the sky that had completely brightened, the blue sky was particularly charming, although it was transformed, it was undeniably beautiful.

"Young people are motivated, have good skills, and can endure hardships, you shouldn't be a bodyguard training company! Haha......"

"Who are you?" Li Lin stood up and looked at the middle-aged man, who seemed to be a little familiar.
