Chapter 1: Brothers
Three hundred years of the Gaowu period.
Nanjun, Qianning City.
"Brother, I'm back!"
At 12:25 p.m., a familiar voice sounded at the entrance of the building, and immediately, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock on the door, knock on the door, why are you knocking so loudly, if it is broken, our family has no money to replace it with a new one."
There was a helpless sound in the kitchen, but it seemed that he had long been used to it, after a crisp collision of pots and pans, wearing a small apron, but the sturdy Sunan walked out, opened the door after shaking off the water stains.
"Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
As soon as Su Bei came back, the family suddenly became lively.
"It's so fragrant, one, two, three, four, five dishes, what kind of day is today?" Su Bei came over with a smile and said like Yumi.
"It's a good thing, first of all, how about you test at school today?"
After cooking the last dish, Sunan wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around and asked with a concerned face.
"Everything is normal, I also specially asked the teacher today, there should be no problem in being admitted to the Science and Technology Institute of Nanjun College." Su Bei still looked heartless and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Sunan's brows relaxed a little, and he patted Su Bei's shoulder, "Come, let's have a drink today." ”
The wine and food were served, Su Nan picked up the wine glass, drank it directly, and smacked his mouth with satisfaction, which made Su Bei worry for a while, "Brother, you drink now, those people in the Mahogany Martial Arts Hall in the afternoon won't be embarrassing you, right?" ”
Since the memory of Subei, the eldest brother Sunan has been working in the secret crystal mine under the jurisdiction of the Hongmu Martial Arts Hall in Qianning City, supporting the family with a meager salary, and also having to endure the difficulties of the foreman from time to time, several of which made Subei almost run away and was forcibly pulled down by Sunan.
The family can't afford to lose this job.
At the very least, feed the present.
"It's okay, your brother and I won't be there in the future." Sunan chewed his meal and said, making Subei stunned for a while.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Su Bei asked curiously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, it has always been his greatest wish to make his eldest brother work decently and no longer be bullied.
"There is a place where the treatment is not bad, and the leader treats me very well, this wine, these foods, he gave me." But Sunan seemed to be a little afraid to face Subei with an expectant face, and said a little vaguely.
"Where to go? It's our Qianning City's Chamber of Commerce, it seems that they have been recruiting people recently, or are they guarding the City Lord's Mansion, but aren't they asking for first-order martial artists? ”
Su Bei said excitedly, and began to think about it with his fingers, but Su Nan's face on the opposite side became more and more silent.
"Brother, what do you mean, where is it, before the start of work, send us something."
Finally, Su Bei found that Su Nan, whose face had not been very good-looking since eating, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
"It's the Star Mine in North County."
After a long time, Sunan sighed helplessly and said it, but Subei's face changed dramatically in an instant.
"What, Star Mine?"
"Brother, are you crazy or did I hear it wrong?"
Su Bei was stunned, looked at Su Nan with a silent face in disbelief, and his tone trembled unconsciously.
"Brother, you must be joking, how can that thing in the Star Mine be something we come into contact with?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent, Su Bei's face was stunned, and Su Nan's silence.
"They came to the mine to recruit people, and I passed the test." Sunan said softly, but there was also a tremor in his tone, "The treatment they give is very generous, as long as it takes two years, I can make up the fees for you to go to Nanjun Academy, and then wait for you to graduate......"
But before Sunan could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Su Bei, who looked angry.
"Where are you going? Do you know what that place is, and you just go there? Just because you give a lot of money? Do you still want to go back to this home? Su Bei roared, and a wave of anger welled up on his face.
Star Mine, a necessary mineral for the research and development of martial arts weapons and science and technology institutes, is collected on the stars and transported back to the Blue Star, and the danger is incalculable.
It has always been the responsibility of the warrior before, but because of the Zerg's keen perception of the fluctuation of the warrior's breath, after losing too many warriors, they had to let ordinary people take their lives to collect.
Su Bei has seen all the processes of ordinary people collecting in the collection of the school's science and technology department, adapting to the collection suit, overcoming the pressure of the universe, and finally always paying attention to the threat of the Zerg.
Near-100% mortality.
In the racial battle between the human race and the Zerg, the lives of ordinary people are worthless at all, as long as they can bring out the Star Mine, even if they die a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand people, it is worth it!
But this is his big brother!
"They give you a lot of money, enough for you to go to college, buy resources, and I'm also on the periphery......"
"Brother!"
The room was quiet again, Sunan, this sturdy man, the pillar of the family, was a little helpless in front of Su Bei at this moment.
"I know it's not a good job, but you're about to go to Nanjun College, I heard those friends say, Science and Technology Institute, you must read more books to learn more, I continue to work here, I can't buy you two books a year, I can't let you take the exam in vain."
Sunan lowered his head and looked at the food on the table, the tempting fragrance before was a little tasteless at the moment.
"Xiaobei, you are the pride of your brother, you were finally admitted to Nanjun Academy, and my brother can't let you lose to others."
At the dinner table, Sunan said to himself, but Su Bei had already red eyes, listening to his brother's choice that he was willing to take risks for him.
"When my father left, he told me, you must take care of you, how can I break my promise, what others have, Xiaobei must also have!"
At this moment, Sunan slowly raised his head and looked at Su Bei, whose eyes were red, with a smile on his face, but the tears flashing in his eyes betrayed his mood at the moment.
"Manly man, you have to stand up to the sky, what are you crying about, it's not like I won't come back!"
Sunan deliberately straightened his face and showed his brother's majesty, but it made Subei's tears even more turbulent.
"Brother, can we not go? I'm like this now, it's fine, I don't read those books, don't you still believe in your brother's strength? I can take the first exam now, and I can do it in the future! ”
Quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, Su Bei said eagerly, staring at Su Nan, hoping that he would change his mind.
"Xiaobei, this is different."
Sunan shook his head, lowered his head, and silently sandwiched a large chopsticks dish for Su Bei for a long time.
"When you were admitted to Nanjun Academy, the students you faced were not just Qianning City."
Even if he has not gone to a higher education institution, Sunan knows the competitive pressure involved, and he must use money to buy resources, otherwise, he can only watch others go farther and farther, and waste his time in the same place.
The son of a mine worker is an example, and he can't let his genius brother miss out on development opportunities because of money.
"Brother,......
"That's it!"
With a loud shout, Sunan interrupted him, took a deep breath, and showed a hint of determination in his eyes, "I have already signed, I took a year's salary in advance, and it was put into your card, and I have to go if I don't go!" ”
"You can't discuss with me in advance, what should I do if you leave?"
Su Bei looked at Su Nan with a stubborn face, and did not back down at all.
Although he knew that he couldn't change anything, as soon as his brother signed it, it meant that the contract was formed, and if he didn't go, he would violate the laws of the human race, but he still had a little hope in his heart.
He has lost his parents and doesn't want to lose his only brother, Star Mine, too dangerous!
"I'm your eldest brother, I'll discuss something with you, so be it, after eating this meal, I'm going to report!"
Sunan picked up the dish, swallowed it and said, "Don't waste this money, but don't be too reluctant, you should eat, you should buy, don't worry about brother, brother can make money!" ”
Su Bei was silent, standing in place in a daze, watching Su Nan eat simply, then stood up and took off his apron.
"Isn't it just a change of place to work? What's so strange? ”
"During this time, I prepared well for the exam and was admitted to South County College, which made me have a long face."
Sunan walked up to Su Bei and finally patted Su Bei on the shoulder.
"Xiaobei, wait for me to come back!"
"Protect yourself!"
