July 23, 2223.

Today is Ji Xinghuo's birthday, 22 years old. As Lu Yunhai said, this may be the most important birthday in his life.

Because on this day, Ji Xinghuo will know his biological parents.

If they were alive at all.

In the afternoon, after Ji Xinghuo's cultivation, when his physical fitness and star power had recovered almost the same, he went out as usual and went to the Qishan Wutong Archery Hall to practice archery.

He has already signed up for the "Leaf Shooting Cup", and the date of the competition is three days away.

In the past few days, according to the practice plan formulated by Lu Yunhai, Ji Xinghuo has been practicing shooting moving targets and random targets, making rapid progress and improving the hit rate.

At the end of the training, Lu Yunhai came over and said, "Happy birthday!" ”

"Thank you." Ji Xinghuo asked while packing his bow bag, "Are you really not coming to the birthday banquet in the evening?" ”

Lu Yunhai shook his head, "No, after all, it's all your family, so I won't participate in your family gathering." ”

"Good. I'll ask you again alone tomorrow. ”

Ji Xinghuo didn't force it, packed up his things and left the archery hall.

When he returned home, he washed up, put on new clothes, and was fresh and clean, with a dignified appearance.

However, he did not set off immediately, walked to the wall, opened the glass window, and quietly looked at the bustling cityscape outside the window alone, with a complicated expression.

It was getting late, and Ji Xinghuo's figure was stretched by the setting sun and shone on the wall behind him.

Neon lights are lit up outside the skyscrapers, and maglev cars on the superconducting highway have their lights turned on, converging into a brilliant ribbon of light.

Ji Xinghuo came back to his senses, glanced at the time, and turned around and went out.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Ji Xinghuo arrived at the "Weiyang Building" in the center of Chang'an, this skyscraper has a height of 1,800 meters, is one of the tallest buildings in the capital, and the shape is designed like a magnificent palace towering into the sky, known as the Heavenly Palace.

He took the elevator up to the 228th floor, where there is a high-end restaurant called "Old Food" and booked a spot last week.

"Welcome back to your hometown!"

Ji Xinghuo followed the slender waitress and walked in the palatial corridor, and the guests passing by were all well-dressed and quite upper-class.

He rarely came to such an upscale place, but his mind was not on it at the moment.

Enter the box.

The wall on one side of the box is a complete transparent glass, which can overlook most of Chang'an and read the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the capital of the Asian Communist Party.

Standing here, it's like standing above the clouds, looking down on all living beings.

Ji Xinghuo didn't look at it much, sat down and ordered a table of dishes, and then waited quietly.

A moment later.

"Starfire." A tall young man pushed the door in.

He is handsome, with a sunny smile on his face, and he is full of spirit when he walks, and when he gets closer, he can feel a warmth on his body that is different from ordinary people, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"Second brother."

Ji Xinghuo got up to meet him.

The two hugged for a while, Zhong Ming patted him on the back hard, then let go, and handed over the packaging box in his hand, "This is a birthday gift for you, the latest 'Electricity Chaser' power shoes, which can be used for transportation at ordinary times, you should like it." ”

"Thank you, second brother." Ji Xinghuo accepted it unceremoniously.

Zhong Ming's income is very high, and a pair of power shoes worth tens of thousands of dollars is just a few days' salary for him.

He is the most accomplished of the five siblings, becoming an Inhuman at the age of nineteen, and his career template is "Flame Maniac".

Last year, Zhong Ming was promoted to the intermediate level at the age of 22, signed a contract with a club after graduation, and now works hard in the second division.

The team believes that he has the potential to enter the Super League in the future, and he is already quite famous.

"Huh?"

Zhong Ming was about to sit down, when he suddenly paused, looked at Ji Xinghuo's eyes seriously, and couldn't help asking, "Xinghuo, have you become a stranger?" ”

Ji Xinghuo was about to answer, when an exclamation came from outside the door.

"Third brother! Are you an Inhuman? ”

A man and a woman walked through the door quickly, both in their early twenties, and they were talking to beautiful girls.

She wore a tight top that exposed her belly button, a short skirt with colorful pleated skirts, a pair of over-the-knee stockings, light makeup on her face, and her hair, dyed sea blue, made a delicate shape, and was full of youthful beauty.

In contrast, the young man beside her looked very ordinary, thin and unkempt, with his hands in his pockets and a lazy posture, deliberately keeping his distance from her.

In fact, he was keeping his distance from the camera hovering beside the girl.

"Feifei, turn off the live broadcast." Zhong Ming reminded.

"Second brother, I didn't broadcast live, I was just filming my own life, if I become famous in the future, it will be the material for the documentary!" Liang Qiufeiyan entered the door with a bright smile, manipulating the camera to fly around the room, and the camera was aimed at Zhong Ming and Ji Xinghuo.

Zhong Ming glanced at it, it was indeed just shooting, and shook his head helplessly.

"Third brother, don't you mind?" Liang Qiufeiyan asked again.

"It's fine."

Ji Xinghuo didn't care about this, and he was used to it for a long time.

When Liang Qiu Feiyan was eighteen years old and just became an adult, he was determined to be a big anchor who was popular all over the world, singing, dancing, playing, and performing, but he was not good at everything, with his excellent appearance, he broadcast live for three years, and now he is a small anchor with hundreds of resident audiences.

In addition to sleeping and going to the toilet, she is live broadcast almost all the time.

There are tens of millions of people like her who broadcast their private lives live, and you can meet seven or eight people on the streets of Chang'an by walking a few hundred meters.

Ji Xinghuo never wanted to be in the camera.

In the "Personal Network Privacy and Security" settings, he turned on the "Portrait Protection" mode.

In this way, any picture that appears on oneself, live broadcasts, videos, photos, as long as it is publicly posted on the Internet, no matter who took it, unless authorized by the person, the appearance will be automatically processed and replaced with a random generic face.

Of course, this is only for public portrait protection.

If there is a legal issue or case involved, the government department has the right to obtain the data and obtain the truthful information.

Liang Qiufeiyan leaned affectionately beside Ji Xinghuo, she had always been close to the third brother, and asked happily: "Third brother, you haven't answered me yet!" Have you become an alien? ”

"Yes." Ji Xinghuo nodded.

"When was it?" Liang Qiu Feiyan learned that it had been almost three weeks, and his eyebrows suddenly curled, and he snorted fiercely, "You haven't told me about the beginning of the month!" ”

Without waiting for Ji Xinghuo to explain, she asked with a smile: "Third brother, what career template did you choose?" ”

Zhong Ming also asked with concern.

"Ranger."

Ji Xinghuo replied with a smile, looking at the young man who had not said a word since he entered the door and had already sat down, "Zizhen, what are you busy with during the summer vacation?" ”

"Third brother, aren't you talking nonsense......" Liang Qiufeiyan hurriedly replied, "What else can he do besides playing games?" ”

"I live with him, and I don't see him two or three times a week. He even forgot your birthday today, if I hadn't pulled him out, I guess he would still be lying in the game cabin, and the whole person would be moldy! ”

Liang Qiufeiyan and Wang Zizhen entered the same university, so they rented the same house.

Both are one year younger than Ji Xinghuo and will not graduate until next year.

However, their personalities are diametrically opposed.

Liang Qiu Feiyan is lively and cheerful, positive, and very likable; At the age of fifteen, he decided not to work for the rest of his life, nor did he want to become an alien, and he was addicted to virtual games and couldn't extricate himself.

"I haven't forgotten, it's just that the boss of this dungeon is a bit powerful and didn't end in time, so it delayed a little time."

Wang Zizhen defended himself and took out a box.

"Third brother, this is my gift to you."

"Thank you!"

Ji Xinghuo took the gift, although Wang Zizhen didn't say what was inside, but it could be seen from his expression that he had prepared it early and was full of heart.

"Third brother, I also bought you a birthday present." Liang Qiu Feiyan hurriedly gave a gift, and said with a smile: "Your mobile phone has been used for several years, I will buy you a new one, which is a very popular 'magic star' mobile phone recently, I specially helped you pick a black gold model, your favorite color." ”

Ji Xinghuo was moved in his heart, "Thank you, Feifei, for letting you break the bank." ”

"Last week, a 'little capitalist' came to my live broadcast room, and he was very generous, and he swiped tens of thousands of dollars for me, just to buy a mobile phone for the third brother, hahaha......" Liang Qiufeiyan looked proud.

Ji Xinghuo and Zhong Ming glanced at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.

Zhong Ming said seriously: "Feifei, you must pay attention to protecting your information during the live broadcast, and tell us in time if there is any situation." ”

"I know!"

Liang Qiufeiyan's face showed cunning, "I'm not a child, I know exactly what the local tyrant who sent money in the live broadcast room is thinking." I want to be a big star in the future, and I have to avoid serious relationships, how can I mess with others for this money? ”

Ji Xinghuo was also a little relieved, and nodded: "It's good that you are sure in your heart." ”

The four of them sat around and chatted.

Today is Ji Xinghuo's birthday, and he is naturally the focus.

Zhong Ming asked strangely: "Xinghuo, didn't your previous target always be 'Titanium Cobalt Dragon', why did you choose the Ranger?" ”

Liang Qiu Feiyan and Wang Zizhen were also very curious.

"The competition among the Titancobalt Dragons is too fierce, and it will take at least another two years of training to be half sure, but I really can't wait." Ji Xinghuo had thought of his rhetoric before he came, "And I recently practiced archery with my classmates, and I found that I am very talented in archery, which is very suitable for rangers." ”

His words are seven true and three false, and the order of cause and effect is reversed.

The three siblings did not suspect it.

"What a pity!"

Zhong Ming couldn't help but shake his head, and said regretfully: "Your talent is higher than mine, if you become a titanium cobalt dragon, it will really soar to the sky." ”

He and Ji Xinghuo grew up together, determined together, exercised together, and knew each other's situation very well.

Ji Xinghuo's talent is definitely the highest in the family!

Among the five brothers and sisters, only Ji Xinghuo can be called a true genius.

Although Zhong Ming has the highest achievements and the strongest strength now, he knows very well that Ji Xinghuo became a stranger a few years later in order to accumulate a lot of money, and he will definitely surpass himself in the future. It's just that I didn't expect that Ji Xinghuo fell short, and he couldn't hold on in the last two years.

The gap between the Ranger and the Titanium Cobalt Dragon is too big!

Zhong Ming only had regrets in his heart, feeling sorry for Ji Xinghuo, but he didn't show it on his face, after all, this was Ji Xinghuo's own choice.

"yes......"

Liang Qiufeiyan and Wang Zizhen also looked regretful.

The talent and will of the two are very average, they can't endure the hardships of exercise, their physical fitness is average, they can't pass the test of the Astral Division, and the probability of becoming an alien is extremely low.

There was a moment of silence in the box.

"Why hasn't the eldest sister arrived yet?" Ji Xinghuo changed the topic and glanced at the time, it was already half past seven.

There are five brothers and sisters, and the eldest Ye Dongyun is the eldest sister.

She graduated two years ago, and after failing to fuse Xenomorphs, she gave up the path of Inhumans and was admitted to the government department to become a civil servant. Now I am so busy every day that my feet don't touch the ground, and I rarely even speak in the group, and occasionally appear, I also forward some government news.

"The eldest sister has recently participated in a key project, and it is said that if she does a good job, she may be promoted."

Liang Qiu Feiyan has been the most sticky since she was a child, and she has more private contacts.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Before the person arrived, the voice came.

As soon as the words ended, a well-dressed woman pushed the door in.

She was carrying a briefcase and a gift box in her hand, and the moment she entered the door, her originally solemn face immediately turned into a warm smile.

"Brothers and sisters, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"I had something to do in the afternoon, so I went on a business trip to Tianfu City. As soon as it was over, I rushed back, so it was delayed for half an hour. Ye Dongyun explained with a smile on her face and gave the gift in her hand, "Third brother, I wish you a happy birthday!" ”
