Chapter 1: Finding a Father



Su Xiaocai covered her chest, her heart and lungs were burning with pain, and she was retching. She had a fever, which was not so severe in many years.

I exhaled a breath of hot air and felt my body get even hotter.

Her vision was blurry, she was clearly very tired, and her heels were worn, but her willpower was firmly driving her forward.

She couldn't stop, as there were mountains of garbage all around her and more than a dozen scavengers were chasing her.

The real Su Xiaocai died. She was a five-year-old girl who was abandoned on the outskirts of the garbage planet.

Lucky enough to survive the night, but died of a cold.

Su Xiaocai, who traveled from another interstellar era, replaced her.

When she woke up in the morning, she was almost pecked in the eye by a big crow.

Although Su Xiaocai had become smaller, her reaction ability was still there. She grabbed the crow with both hands, pinched its neck, and twisted it hard. The crow died, and she threw it away.

In an instant, dozens of birds circling in the sky flew down, joined by rats. They were hungry and fiercely divided the corpse.

Su Xiaocai knew that she could no longer stay where she was.

Under the scorching sun, the five-year-old girl walked with alternating steps. She had lost her way and didn't know which direction to go.

She only knew that if she stopped, the scavengers behind her and in the sky would devour her.

The girl's high fever made the creatures sense that her death was near, and they followed her closely, unwilling to miss the rare delicacy.

Su Xiaocai, who was walking numbly, suddenly had an illusion in front of her eyes. A girl of the same age stood in front of her, with malicious eyes, "Since you don't care, then give me all your things."

Perhaps due to the influence of her original body's memory, Su Xiaocai had definitely never seen that girl.

But she did not inherit the original body's memory. She only knew that the original body's life was not good, and the rough calluses on her hands were proof of it.

Su Xiaocai didn't have the energy to think too much. She staggered to avoid a swooping crow and happened to see a building in front of her.

Su Xiaocai was surprised. She quickened her pace, but then she hesitated. Could she trust someone who could survive in an endless mountain of garbage?

This body is only five years old...

Yes, she is only five years old. If she hesitates any longer, she will die.

When you die, there is nothing left.

Save your life first.

A man with a broken arm appeared in her sight.

The man also saw her and was about to scold her when he saw her getting closer.

"dad."

Man with a broken arm: Congratulations on becoming a father!

Su Xiaocai hugged his feet tightly. She could only gamble that he would not kick her away.

Su Xiaocai had no choice. She wanted to live. She died a miserable death in her previous life, being besieged by foreigners. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was torn into pieces.

She replaced the girl in this life and became younger, so she wanted to live more.

There was a friend next to the man with the broken arm. He suppressed a laugh and said, "When did you have a daughter? Did you spend a night with some beautiful woman?"

"I haven't even had a woman, so where does a daughter come from?" The man with the broken arm frowned and tried to push the girl away, but as soon as he touched her, the girl fell down limply.

"Hey, wake up." The man with the broken arm touched her forehead, horrified. Her fever was too high. "Hurry up and save her."

From then on, Su Xiaocai clung to the man with the broken arm.

The man with the broken arm wanted to send her away, but she was an orphan and the original orphanage refused to accept her for some reason.

There was no other way. Su Xiaocai also recognized him, so he had to take the trouble and go through the adoption procedures.

Ten years later.

A remote small planet far away from the garbage planet, with a suitable climate and abundant plants.

Many tourists come here every year, and some biologists also come here to collect animal and plant specimens for research.

In addition to wild plants, there are also tens of thousands of acres of grain and orchards here.

At this time, an ugly mecha that seemed to be randomly put together was parked at the edge of the orchard. The hatch was opened and the girl jumped down without taking any measures.

Witnessing everything, Father Su flew into a rage, "Su Xiaocai, are you tired of living?"

The girl turned around, was startled, and ran away quickly.

Unfortunately, it was too late and he was hit twice with the cane.

"Dad, I'm sixteen years old and will be going to college soon. I'm generating income for the family, why are you hitting me?"

Father Su said angrily, "You didn't kill my medicinal orchid by watering it, that's what you call generating income."

Old Man Su had a bad temper, but after adopting Su Xiaocai, his mentality was smoothed down.

After all, he used to use a steel pipe to beat his children.

However, Su Xiaocai did new and naughty things every day. He couldn't run fast with a steel pipe, but a rattan stick was light and didn't require him to hold back his strength.

Su Xiaocai smiled awkwardly, feeling guilty as she went around behind the mecha to change the energy source, then climbed back up. Using the mecha, she performed a nimble fruit-picking maneuver that was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and all the fruits she picked were intact.

"Look at you, why did you choose the agricultural department? It would have been better to choose the mecha department." Old Man Su's surname is also Su. He was a former senior maintenance engineer. He was framed and backstabbed by a friend and lost an arm on the battlefield. Disheartened, he took out his savings to buy this small planet.

For the past ten years, he has lived here with Su Xiaocai, leading a farmer's life, working from sunrise to sunset.

They don't make much money, so they definitely can't afford high-performance mechas. Therefore, the robots and mechas in the farmland are all works created by Su Xiaocai and Su Laodi using second-hand parts or raw materials.

"You'll be turning fifteen tonight. Have you checked out the online Qigong tutorials? If you have, remember to practice. Don't think being a farmer means you don't need martial arts. Practicing martial arts more can help you protect yourself. It's beneficial."

In the interstellar age, martial arts are prevalent.

The background story is that more than 20 years ago, when high-performance mechas were first put on the market for sale, people found that they could not be used flexibly and required sufficient force.

So the military, which has been using mechas for quite some time, released online tutorials to allow the public to train on their own.

However, the newly developed martial arts Qi training can only be practiced at the age of fifteen. Practicing it too early will affect physical development.

You can learn more martial arts techniques when you are a child, and you can achieve twice the result with half the effort after practicing Qigong at the age of fifteen.

After hearing what Old Man Su said, Su Xiaocai started to feel guilty again and nodded vigorously.

In fact, she had memorized the tutorials long ago and had developed Qi early on. It was not that she wanted to practice it, but when she was twelve years old, she followed the online tutorials and inexplicably opened up the "Ren and Du meridians" and generated a sense of Qi in her body.

She is still only 1.6 meters tall. She suspects that this is what the military said about her development being affected, and she firmly believes that this is the case.

It is definitely not the result of one's own actions.

She didn't tell Old Man Su about her Qi training, for fear that he would nag her for not choosing the mecha department.

Old Man Su was a little skeptical, but he didn't care and went to negotiate the price with the supplier.

After the fruits are picked, the merchants come to collect them personally.

Su's fruits and vegetables are not well-known to the outside world, but they are very popular among businessmen. Su raises a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, and likes to use organic fertilizers for everything they grow.

The advantage of using organic fertilizer is that vegetables and fruits taste better, but the disadvantage is that it easily attracts insects.

But Su Xiaocai doesn't like to use pesticides, so the small robots in the fields are specifically used to drive away and catch insects.
