Chapter 1105: The Federation Orphan

tunately, Zhang Xuetao, this coward, is being pressured by his own father and doesn't want to lose the support of the Duan family. He wants to continue his engagement with me in exchange for you havin...The millstone, hearing the ripples' words, finally let out a sigh of relief and said in a hushed tone:

"As expected of my old partner, that wasn't actually me who said it. It was Saint Master Jian who gave you the order directly, just using our communication channel."

Upon hearing this, Lianyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked:

How could the Great Saint Master have noticed me, a mere tasker

Although I don't want to discourage you, the truth is that I wasn't paying attention to you. It's because of the mission you took on. The Lord Saint decreed a kill order after confirming that demonic cultivators were spreading and stealing spiritual energy and resources from the lower realms to strengthen their power. You are not the only one who received such orders.

"I see! But now that you've leveled up, you can directly contact Saint Jian himself. Congratulations!"

Ripples teased.

"You're too kind, this is all thanks to you. After all, since you completed your tasks so well, my level was able to increase."

The millstone's phoenix eyes narrowed to a slit, and it humbly replied.

"This time's mission rewards you with whatever you want"

"Isn't there already merit"

Ripples are not greedy.

"Yes, but you can still take one thing away with you. What do you want"

After a moment's thought, Lian Yi said:

"I think the layout of Wengjiazhuang is quite good. After my space upgrade, it feels a bit empty, so I'll build another courtyard just like it!"

"This is easy, I'll make a one-to-one replica for you. Just put it into your space when you next have a mission."

This request wasn't difficult at all, it was just about building a yard, so the stone mill responded very readily.

After three days of rest, Ripples once again entered the mission plane. As her soul and body merged, a slightly sharp female voice rang in her ears:

"Ripple, don't be so stingy! Just lend me your cultivation chamber for a day! Mine won't arrive for a few days, and then you can use mine. That way, we'll even each other out. Mine is the latest model, so you won't lose out at all!"

Ripples glanced at the other person before finally speaking:

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, my cultivation chamber is broken, and I've already notified someone to come and repair it."

"What How is that possible"

The doll-faced woman across from him said in surprise.

"Is there anything impossible Everything has its time to break down. I'm not going to tell you anymore, I'm just worried about how to deal with it!"

After finishing her words, Lian Ri turned impatient and slammed the door shut, trapping the girl with the baby face outside.

At this time, a man in a black tuxedo walked up to Ripple and said respectfully:

"Master, why are you lying"

Because I don't want to lend her the cultivation chamber.

Ripple said calmly.

"Master, lying is wrong. You can directly refuse the other party's request."

Can't you see the look of determination on her face She won't stop until she gets what she wants.

The ripples on her face had turned cold. The man before her called himself her master, yet the words that came out of his mouth were accusations against her actions.

"I'm sorry, master. My database hasn't analyzed the neighbor's words as being unkind."

The man sensed the ripple of displeasure and immediately respectfully said,

"Then upgrade your database!"

After saying that, Lian Yi casually opened a door to a room, just the study. Before going in she said:

"Leave me alone, I need some peace and quiet."

"Yes, Master!"

When the ripples closed the door with her hand, she sat down in the chair by the table and began to receive the memories of her original body.

The original's memories were short-lived, but they also helped Ripple understand the current general environment.

Her original name was He Lianyi. She was an orphan, her parents both being heroes of the Star Federation. The two perished while fighting against extraterrestrial enemies, leaving her alone.

As the descendants of martyrs, Starfleet naturally wouldn't ignore them. After all, it would be unfeeling to let the heroes down; if their children and families couldn't get proper arrangements after they left, who would be willing to give their lives for Starfleet in the future

Since the He family only had Lianyi left, and there were no relatives able to raise her, the government took on the responsibility of caring for her. After consulting with the original owner's wishes, she was allowed to move back into her own home, and a bio-mechanical robot, Lord Luo, was arranged to take care of her daily life.

Just now, the person I was talking to, that's Lord Luo. His annual care and upgrade costs are covered by the Interstellar Federation's military dependents department.

Before she turned thirty, all of Lian's living expenses were covered by them, and they would regularly make payments to Lian's smart brain every month to ensure her basic consumption.

The Federal Government's military dependent guarantee department doesn't just shoulder the cost of living for one person, so to live well, one can't rely solely on government assistance. They need to create their own income streams, which was precisely how the original [character] made a living through online game battles.

Because interstellar technology was highly advanced, a fully interconnected network existed over a decade ago. On the network, you could be anyone else entirely. The protagonist, being a descendant of military personnel with superior genetics, had undergone military-style training before their parents' passing. Therefore, occasional online battles also earned them some pocket money.

Before, she cultivated to hone her skills. After her parents left, she cultivated for survival. The cultivation chamber was a port used to connect to the entire system network.

To save money, the original person usually took online courses at home and then entered the holographic world through the training chamber to hone her skills. Her goal was to leave her current small planet and take the entrance exam for the Interstellar Federation's First Academy. After completing her studies there, she would be able to join the military and inherit her parents' legacy.

Moreover, because both parents were military personnel and martyrs, the academy would prioritize her admission in case of equal scores. With such an advantage, the original owner had set her goals very early on.

But a change of circumstances occurred when she started saving money to buy a new cultivation chamber.

First, it was the neighbor Mei Hui who came to borrow the original body's cultivation chamber. The original body didn't understand why and because he didn't want to make things too awkward with the old neighbor, he lent the cultivation chamber to Mei Hui. As a result, that night she encountered an attack.

Because Lord Luo was a household robot and wasn't equipped with weapons, by the time the attackers had alarmed the Federal Police, they had already escaped. The original body was severely injured and lost an arm.

Because of the original body's special identity, the Federal Police immediately sent Ripple to the hospital. Although the severed arm was reattached, it would take at least three months to recover.

Of course, if she had enough original Federation currency, she could shorten the recovery time. But she was an orphan and had no savings. In order to get into the First Academy of the Federation, the original owner wouldn't dare touch the money in her account.

At this time, Mei Hui approached the original owner and said she was willing to buy her cultivation chamber at the original price. This way, she could at least help her recover from her injuries as soon as possible.

After some consideration, the original body agreed. After all, for her now, the cultivation chamber was not a necessity. Recovering her health and participating in the selection on time were the most important things.

Mei Hui immediately paid the original federal currency, then kindly said:

"Ripples, I have a new cultivation chamber now. I can give you my old one. You can just give me whatever amount of Federation Coins you feel is appropriate."ao, it's all a misunderstanding. Since I entered the inner sect from the outer sect, I have never made an enemy of anyone, so..."Du Leilei didn't make things entirely clear, but everyone understood he...
