Stardust Remembrance

Chapter 16 There's Always Hope (1)

The Orphanage's Centennial Celebration

"My goal is to become a Level 3a Physical Energy Person!"

"Do you know how many level 3a Physicals there are in the entire Odin Federation?"

"How many?"

"Two, His Excellency the Consul and Commander Tatsusa."

What? The magnificent Loran was dumbfounded.

Feng Lin patiently explained, "There seems to be only a two-level difference between 3a and a, but it's very difficult to cross that gap. If an A-ranked physically capable person is an excellent human, a 3-ranked physically capable person is an excellent non-human."

Was she being shamed by Tatsusa? In the Odin Federation, which dominated the interstellar world with its strong physical abilities, there were only two rank 3a physical abilities, and Tatsuya was asking her to become a rank 3a physical ability!

No one should stop her, she's going to chop up Tatsuya!

Feng Lin looked at Loran's wonderful expression and said encouragingly, "Improving your physical ability should be done slowly and step by step, first try to become a class D physical ability person."

"Uh, got it." Loran closed the video and walked out of the house listlessly.

In the living room, Tatsusa was talking to Zi Yan.

Loran secretly sharpened her eye knife, Tatsusa suddenly turned back to look at her, and Loran immediately raised a big doggy smile.

Tatsuya frowned and turned her head again, asking Zi Yanen unhappily, "The six-hundredth anniversary celebration of the Alicata Orphanage? Why me?"

Purple Banquet waved at Loran and gestured for her to come over, "Everyone voted on it. Our unreliable consul is on a mission on the primordial star and can't make it back, so you couple is undoubtedly the most suitable person to represent the federal government at the celebration."

As soon as Loran heard that it had something to do with him, he immediately stood numbly behind Tatsusa. What orphanage had such a big face that it wanted the commander to attend the celebration? Loran quietly checked the Star Network before realizing the ins and outs.

Founded amid the war, the Alicata Orphanage was initially funded by a group of soldiers who adopted children whose parents had died during the war and had a history older than even the Odin Federation. However, it was famous for the federation not because of its long history, but because of the emergence of a great man of amazing talent - the first consul of the Odin Federation, You Beichen.

He was an outcast, didn't know his parents, grew up in an orphanage, joined the army at the age of twenty, and all along the way, with his war achievements, he turned from the lowest level soldier into the commander of the Central Administrative Region.

That year, he was sixty-eight years old.

At that time, the interstellar situation was chaotic, and several major star countries led by the Al Empire had already set up the Human Interstellar Alliance Army, preparing for a major attack on the planet Alicata to eliminate the rebels of the fae. The fae, however, remained on their own, defying everyone. Although the Central Administrative Region was the first fae army to rebel against the humans, it had been weak because of its lack of resources and was not placed in the eyes of the leaders of the other seven fae armies at all. Each of the seven leaders has their king, and they are eyeing each other, wanting to annex each other.

The young You Beichen's proposal of "establishing a federation to protect against foreign enemies" was treated as a big joke by the seven lords who had walked through the mountains of corpses and blood and bones of the chaotic world.

However, this amazing character's combination of strength and softness, and the combination of vertical and horizontal, turned the big joke into a big miracle.

The leaders of the seven armies eventually gave up their military power, accepted their hereditary titles, and swore to join the Republic of Odin Federation, and You Beichen became the first consul of the Federation.

That year, he was one hundred and twenty years old.

For the average human life expectancy of more than three hundred years, his life was in its prime.

After that, You Beichen was motivated to govern and used more than a hundred years to turn the Odin Federation into a prestigious military power in the interstellar world.

He had no wife, and no children, his whole life was given to the Odin Federation, and when the Odin Federation was stabilized, he retired on merit and was ruled by the second consul.

That year, he was two hundred and sixty years old.

Two years later, a generation of legends died at the age of two hundred and sixty-two.

Loran counted the time, it was already more than three hundred years ago, and the Odin Federation's consul was already in his fourth term, yet, You Beichen's influence was still everywhere. For example, this centennial celebration had to be attended by the commander of the orphanage.

Zi Yan said cheerfully, ''I'll go arrange the itinerary, let me know in advance if you have any requests. The scenery there is nice, shall I leave you couple some time alone to wander around and improve your relationship?"

Tatsuya stared at Zi Yan.

"I didn't say anything." Zi Yan shrugged and turned to leave.

As he walked, he turned back and said with a sincere expression, "The children, however, all still believe in the fairy tale that says, 'From now on, the hero and the princess live happily ever after', please, you two, improve your acting skills, don't cause psychological shadows to the minors, and make them despair of male-female relationships, the marriage rate of the Federation is already very low."

"Scram!"

Loran only dared to think about it in his heart, but Tatsuya directly uttered it.

Zi Yan waved her hand and rolled away.

Tatsuha looked at Luo Lan thoughtfully, and Luo Lan was busy doggedly saying, "I'll prepare properly and ensure that I complete the task! As for acting, I think ...... maybe you can play a little virtual reality love game, I have a few best-selling all-star love game recommendations here, it's very suitable for people with no love experience ......"

Tatsuya turned around and left.

"You're welcome!" Loran smiled and made a face at his back.

The orphanage was situated on a mountain with a beautiful view.

The celebration was held on the lawn in front of the auditorium, and according to Tatsusa's request, the media was not invited, and interviews and video recordings were prohibited.

The old director reviewed the history of the orphanage and thanked the government for its continuous support.

Tatsusa delivered a short speech on behalf of the federal government, wishing the children healthy growth and becoming pillars of the federation. The children at the bottom tensed their little faces and listened very seriously.

Loran felt that Tatsusa was like a gentle version of a commander's lecture, and the children were like a miniature version of the federal army, and neither side felt that they had a problem, being very serious and grave, making it more and more interesting and strange.

If Tatsusa had his children, would it still be this kind of unsmiling training of soldiers?

Wouldn't that be training an unsmiling, miniature version of Tatsuha?

A big one and a small one with two icebergs facing each other, the child's mother wouldn't need to turn on the cold air at all.

Loran couldn't help but snicker as he imagined the bizarre picture.

Tatsuza finished speaking, and his line of sight turned, just in time to see a group of tightly wound serious faces in the group Loran smiled to see the teeth, and couldn't help but stare, she is really like a weed in the cracks of the stone, always heartless and brilliant.

Loran gracefully stepped onto the stage, gave a standard curtsy, and smiled as she addressed the children, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to meet you. For our first meeting, I've made some candies and pastries that I hope you'll enjoy. Everyone lines up to get them, pick your favorite colors and shapes, one packet per person, and if you want other colors and shapes, talk to your friends about exchanging them."

Kiyoshi and Kiyochu directed several robots to carry out several large baskets of candy and stand around the lawn. Each robot was in charge of a basket of candy and wore clothes with the colors and patterns of the candy printed on them, making it easy for the children to decide what they wanted and where to line up as soon as they saw the robots.

The children looked around and found that there were little girls like animals, flowers, and plants candy, and there were also boys like warships, guns candy, all of a sudden excited, serious expression could not be tensed, looking at the old dean with anticipation.

The old dean smiled and said "The ceremony is over", everyone cheered and scattered to pick their favorite candies and pastries. When they realized that there was also a lucky egg hidden in the gift bag, they snapped and slammed it on the ground while laughing and screaming with excitement, turning the scene from a training ground to a playground.

Loran thought with satisfaction, this is what a child looks like, it's not a waste of her painstaking preparation of gifts.

She didn't have the income right now and didn't have the face to take Tatsusa's money for her favors, so she could only put in a little more effort. Qing Yue, Qing Chu, and the two robots in the house were made to work around the clock, and she stayed up three all-nighters in a row to prepare all the gifts.

The old dean led Loran and Tatsusa on a tour of the orphanage.

Loran sees a lot of people in military uniforms coming and going, it almost makes you feel like you're entering some small military base.

The old dean explained, "Because the orphanage was first established by military funding, it has been under semi-military management. The children have deep feelings for the military, and when they grow up, many of them will join the military, and when they have the financial ability, they will in turn subsidize the orphanage, generation after generation, forming an invisible tradition. Today is a special day, and those children who have grown into adults will come home to visit."

So that's how it is! Loran came to a realization.

On a sunny hillside, a group of children played a game of war.

They were distinctly different from the other children; some had strange ears and noses, some had fluffy tails, and one child had green skin.

Tatsuya's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he asked unhappily, "Why didn't we see these children at the ceremony?"

The old dean hurriedly explained, "Because of the genetic mutation, their immune systems are unstable, and the doctor recommended not letting them go to crowded places, and their daily outdoor time is also very limited."

Chen Sha looked at the group of children and remembered something, "I've already signed off on the orphanage's application to visit the military base, remember to let these children come as well."

"But their bodies ......"

"I'll have the army's doctors communicate with their doctors ahead of time and get everything arranged."

The old dean was all smiles at once: "Excellent! Every time an event like this happens, we can't let them go, it's hard for them, and it's hard for us too."

Suddenly, the children let out clear and pleasant cheers, it turned out to be an "enemy warship" hidden in the bushes was found by them.

It was Chisoku, who raised his hands in surrender, and the children laughed and jumped on him, rolling the group into a ball on the grass.

Loran whooshes behind Tatsuha in fear, and Tatsuha looks back at her in disbelief.
