Many years later.
Da Liang.
An airplane streaked across the blue sky.
Its enormous shadow swept over the densely packed reinforced concrete buildings on the ground.
"Next, we bring you a political news update..."
At the crossroads.
The beautiful host on the screen, with perfect diction, reported, "Today, our nation's naval fleet visited the Thousand Island Nation. On the basis of equality, amity, and harmony, they signed a port leasing and trade treaty... The Prime Minister made an important speech on the matter..."
Carrying his backpack and riding his bicycle, Xiao Lin sped down the street, indifferent to the news.
He was a happy high school truant attending Golden Stone Third High School.
Thanks to his parents, he was born with a capital city Household Registration, allowing him to attend school and take the Civil Service Examination in his own district... which basically put him at the finish line for many people.
Alas... Xiao Lin was not happy.
