Chapter 001 Lin Yi
Lin Yi stood at the bar, playing with the cocktail shaker in her hands in various ways. Under the dazzling lights, she stuck the wine, returned the bottle, and a blue flame rose from the mouth of the martini glass. She pushed the wine glass to Lao Du
When it is in front of you, the flame slowly shrinks, turns into a little blue, sinks into the heart of the cup, and then glows with fragments of golden light little by little, like the eternal starlight in the universe.
This is her new cocktail, named "Star-Lord".
Lin Yi had just turned seventeen and had no guardian. According to regulations, people under the age of eighteen were not allowed to work in Huanxing City. It was Lao Du who introduced her and she joined here as a temporary bartender.
It's just that Lao Du has been drinking a lot recently. Lin Yi wanted to persuade him, but later gave up.
A person who has a genetic problem and does not have the financial resources to buy special medicines to relieve pain can only rely on alcohol to numb his body, and for him, there are not many days left like this.
Lin Yi was also called Lin Yi before. She was born with strange eyes. In her eyes, everything in the world can be represented by different talisman patterns. Therefore, she inherited the family's ancestral craftsmanship and specialized in drawing talisman for people. Her business
She is very capable, and many powerful people are her regular customers. Her grandfather also passed down the family runestone to her. Unfortunately, she was unlucky. She encountered a plane crash while traveling abroad.
She could no longer remember what it was like at the moment when the disaster struck. She only knew that at the moment of death, her soul was sucked into the family rune stones, and then the rune stones took her to travel among the stars.
This sounds awesome.
But for Lin Yi, that was an experience she least wanted to recall.
Because seventy thousand years!
She spent 70,000 years in the boundless, deep and terrifying universe.
That kind of loneliness, with no landing point and no end, is thousands of times more terrifying than death.
She was trapped in the rune stone, passively awake, passively sensing time, and passively seeing countless complex and terrifying energies in the depths of the universe. She saw them colliding with each other, devouring each other, and intertwining into various complex forms.
of runes.
Finally, she finally waited for a huge energy collision before her consciousness fell into darkness.
When she woke up again, the rune stones had disappeared. She landed on a strange planet where humans also lived, and was reborn in the body of a girl also named Lin Yi. The ability of the strange eyes still followed her, and because she traveled across the stars, she had seen
With the endless energy deep in the universe, her vision is more powerful than before.
It was only after arriving here that she realized that the runes she saw had a scientific explanation. They were the concrete manifestation of source energy. Scientists call them source runes, and they are also called regular runes.
According to the explanation of "Weixing Authoritative Science", source energy is different from any energy source. Source energy is the initial energy born with the birth of the universe. Source energy contains all life force and all energy elements in the universe. In theory, source energy has unlimited
Circular, never-exhausting characteristics.
Based on this, source technology has become a new discipline.
Nowadays, in Weixing, intelligent robots have already been popularized in people's daily lives. Above the starry sky, based on source technology, humans have developed two new planets and designed super-large ecological circulation systems, where two billion people live.
In addition to the new stars, there are also extremely huge military bases in the stars.
But more than two hundred years ago, due to the development of source technology, the entire human society fell into a perverted carnival of editing and enhancing genes.
However, in just fifty years, human genetic modification technology has turned the class gap into an unbridgeable gap. Innate inequality in life has been clearly engraved into the genes. As a result, negative emotions such as resentment and despair are inevitable
This also breeds. Then, some people who edited and modified their genes suddenly developed various weird genetic diseases, and in panic, they chose to edit and strengthen their genes again. However, this approach caused the genetic disease to become an ineradicable disease.
The cancer has taken root deeply in the human species.
As a result, a social crisis broke out, and those with evil intentions waited for the opportunity to start a war. The war quickly spread and everyone was involved.
The war lasted for twelve years, and civilization suffered a devastating blow.
The regimes of the last three planets established an alliance, worked together to quell the war, and then promulgated a series of new laws. Among them, "artificial editing and enhancement of human genes" has since been banned. Source technology has set very strict rules in the field of biological sciences.
review system.
Society has regained order, and the traces of war have slowly been washed away by time. Today, two hundred years later, technology has been updated countless times, and under a complete legal system, the world has unprecedented prosperity and stability.
But genetic diseases have not been cured because of the disappearance of war.
Nowadays, the source points that can travel through space are almost as common as bus stops, and the distance between two planets can even be shortened to hours. However, there is still no obvious breakthrough in the medical problem of genetic diseases.
Genetic disease, Yanshun bloodline, is inherited.
After all, human beings are inevitably divided into three, six or nine classes. Even if such divisions are strictly prohibited by law, this fact cannot be erased. And as time goes by, this division of social classes has tended to
Stablize.
Later, those suffering from genetic diseases were labeled with a specific label - genetic losers.
Lao Du is one of them, a genetic loser.
In Lin Yi's eyes, a person's life information is all written in the source patterns displayed by his life source energy. When Lin Yi saw Lao Du for the first time, his life source patterns were almost completely broken.
So Lao Du has already aged before he is fifty. The most obvious thing is his gray hair and two deep nasolabial folds. The average life expectancy here is 150 years old, and there are many people over 200 years old.
, so many people in their fifties and sixties look about the same as they do in their twenties. This is the most significant effect of inheriting the super gene—extended lifespan and youthfulness.
And people like them also have a specific label - super gene carriers.
As usual, Lao Du picked up the glass of wine, drank it a few times, and then put the glass forward. Lin Yi could see that Lao Du was in a bad mood today, so he didn't say anything and gave it to Lao Du again.
Du made a cup of "Star Lord".
After drinking three drinks in a row, Lao Du waved his hand and asked, "Are you really going to take the exam for Sanjiangyuan College?"
Lin Yi nodded: "Yes."
Lao Du raised his eyes: "The entrance to Yuan Academy is not that easy. Besides, even if you get in, it will be useless. Your problem..." However, when Lao Du said this, he stopped, as if he couldn't bear to hurt her.
Genetic failure is the deepest pain in every loser's heart. No one wants to be pointed out, let alone a teenage girl who has already been marked as a failure before her life has really begun.
Yes, Lin Yi is also a genetic loser.
However, in Lin Yi's eyes, although her life source pattern was still incomplete, it was not broken like Lao Du, but nearly ten percent of it was missing. She didn't understand what this meant.
She just has an intuition. If these missing parts are not fixed, she may die suddenly at any time!
It took 70,000 years for her to finally be reborn. She must live well no matter what.
So Lin Yi said: "You have to give it a try."
Lao Du couldn't help but look her over.
Lin Yi is much taller than the average girl, and thinner, with slender limbs, a small face, a straight nose, and short hair. However, her bangs are a bit long, suppressing the slightly raised corners of her eyes and weakening her indifferent eyes. Therefore, it is often easy to
People mistakenly think she is a handsome young man.
"Try, try..." Lao Du muttered to himself a few times, unable to explain what it was like. When he was as old as Lin Yi, he also tried it with great hope. But in the end he found out
, no matter how pure the source energy is, it can only extend his lifespan and alleviate his pain. And just for such a small improvement, he has to pay a huge amount of star coins every year.
The alliance government has spent two hundred years but has been unable to eradicate this problem. Genetic diseases are the heavy price humans pay for their arrogance and greed.
For losers like them, this fucking fate has its ending already written from the beginning, without exception.
He has seen too many genetic losers. No matter how great their ambitions were, they failed to change their fate in the end. Some people simply broke the pot, drank all day long, and then embarked on the road of crime. Those people had not waited for their bodies to change.
Unfortunately, he died in various accidents. Lin Yi's parents were the victims implicated in those accidents.
Lin Yi is only seventeen years old now, but Lao Du can already foresee her life. Like him, she will have a short life, full of unwillingness, but in the end, she will be powerless to do anything about it.
Lin Yi went to greet other guests. Lao Du leaned on the bar with his upper body, his eyelids drooped, looking very decadent. After Lin Yi mixed cocktails for other guests, he glanced at Lao Du and walked over to him Pour a glass of ice water: "Go back early, don't fall drunk on the roadside every day, I have to pick you up after get off work."
Lao Du looked at Lin Yi's young face and suddenly asked: "Are you ready for the tuition?"
Lin Yi said: "I have saved enough star coins, but I still need one exam source stone."
The threshold for Yuan Academy is very high. In addition to paying a high registration fee, all students who apply for the exam must also prepare a Yuan Stone for the exam. But as long as they pass the exam and successfully obtain their diploma, they will have
Many companies offer high salaries to hire them. If they are more capable and get the seal from Master Yuan, their future will be even brighter and they will enjoy star treatment in their future life.
If a patient with a genetic disease can successfully graduate from the Origin Academy, even if he cannot change his failed genes, at least he can live a better life in this life.
Therefore, no matter how high the threshold of Yuan College is and how low the enrollment rate is, the number of applicants is still full every year. And every year before enrollment, cram schools outside Yuan College are springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
The cram schools also advertise "Full refund if you fail the exam".
Lao Du picked up the glass of ice water and took a big gulp of it. His brain was sobered by the cold. Then he took something out of his pocket and threw it to Lin Yi: "Come to me after get off work."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lin Yi opened her palms and took a look. What Lao Du threw towards her was a piece of Origin Stone. The core of the stone faintly revealed a cold and charming light. Those lights intertwined into mysterious patterns that kept changing in her eyes.
