Chapter 1 Find a Father
Su Xiaocai covered her chest with her hands, her heart and lungs were aching, she was retching in pain, she had a fever, it had been many years since she had had such a severe fever.

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

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

She couldn't stop, there were mountains of garbage all around her and a dozen hungry creatures chasing after 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's neck with both hands and twisted it hard. The crow died and she threw it away.

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

Su Xiaocai knew that she couldn't stay where she was any longer.

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 approaching, and they followed her closely, not wanting to miss out on 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 her original body's memory. She only knew that her original body's life was not very good, and the calluses on her hands were proof of that.

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.

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 coming 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.

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

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

"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 softly.

"Hey, wake up." The man with the broken arm touched her forehead and was horrified. The 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 had 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 opened and the girl jumped down without taking any measures.

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

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

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

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

Father Su said angrily, "You can only generate income if you didn't kill my medicinal orchid with water."

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

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

However, Su Xiaocai does new and naughty things every day. He can't run fast with a steel pipe, but a rattan stick is light and he doesn't need to hold back his strength.

Su Xiaocai smiled awkwardly, and went around the back of the mecha to change the energy source, and then climbed back up. He used the mecha to perform flexible fruit-picking movements that ordinary people could not achieve, and all the fruits he picked were intact.

"Look at you, why did you choose the Agriculture Department? It would have been much better to choose the Mecha Department." Old Man Su's surname is also Su. He was a former senior maintenance engineer. He was backstabbed and framed by a friend and lost an arm on the battlefield. He was disheartened and 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 earn much money, so they certainly can't afford high-performance mechas, so the robots and mechas in the farmland are all works that Su Xiaocai and Su Laodi jointly create using second-hand parts or raw materials.

"You will be turning fifteen tonight. Have you read the Qigong tutorials online? Remember to practice after reading them. Don't think that being a farmer means you don't need to use force. Practicing more martial arts can protect you. It's good for you."

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 Old Man Su's instructions, Su Xiaocai began to feel guilty again and nodded vigorously.

In fact, she had memorized the tutorial long ago and had practiced Qi early on. It was not that she wanted to practice it, but when she was twelve years old, she followed the online tutorial 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 Father Su about her training in Qi sense, 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 in 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 is more likely to attract 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.
