At dawn the next day, Zi Yu's high-pitched voice echoed from the room: "Huh? Huh huh, the room is filled with the smell of alcohol, did Brother Feng not sleep all night?"

"Yeah, didn't sleep."

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Aside from the essential conditions, not sleeping doesn't really bother me."

"Strange, could it be... hehe, Brother Feng wants to protect me."

"If you wish it so, you can think that way."

"Yay, so awesome, so awesome, Brother Feng protected Zi Yu all night."

Feng Yi was helpless, truly an innocent age, "Wake up, let the cold wind clear your groggy mind."

"Ouch! Don't hit me with a poster, but, but..."

"Put on your clothes, I don't have a habit of peeping."

"Boo hoo, got it."

A few minutes later, she transformed into a vibrant pretty girl, with a purple short skirt, a loose jacket, and stylish little boots, radiating youthful colors in every gesture and smile.

"All dressed up, where are we going to play next?"

"Always thinking about play, don't forget the purpose of finding me."

"Mm-hmm, Zi Yu hasn't forgotten."

"By the way, aren't you supposed to be in school at your age, have you not been attending?"

"Hehe, I don't like school, my mom hired home tutors for a long time."

"Why do you hate school?"

Zi Yu gloomily curled her finger, saying, "The girls at Alpha bully people, saying I'm a nouveau riche transfer student from the Silver Alliance, badmouthing me behind my back, and talking about how I dress, saying I change partners every day..."

"They must be jealous of you, do you have friends at school?"

"Nope."

Feng Yi nodded, surprised that bullying still existed in this era, "So how did you handle it?"

Zi Yu blinked her pretty eyes, then suddenly closed them, as if recalling something troubling, sighed, "Ignore them."

"Silence doesn't change anything."

"I know, I once taught a few girls a lesson, of course, just warnings, after a few times I got really annoyed, so I stopped attending school."

"Haha, you have a completely different personality from Xiu Yi; if it were him, he'd be fighting with them every day."

"Uh..."

Zi Yu took a half-step back with a shiver, not expecting the legendary bounty hunter to be so brutal.

"Brute force isn't right, ignoring isn't entirely correct either, you should use wisdom and strength to counter those people, not just remain silent, interacting with new people is how you grow."

Zi Yu sighed softly, "I understand the logic, but human relationships are really annoying—compared to me, Brother Feng, you're so excellent, surely many girls chased after you in school?"

"Haha, I'm self-taught." Feng Yi shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"Too modest, I think Brother Feng's skills are top-notch, even the formidable General Kexiao couldn't gain an advantage over you, it's rumored he never lost before meeting you, in any field."

"No one can predict the outcomes of war."

"Yeah."

Discussing serious topics, Zi Yu was no longer her usual playful self, instead gaining a bit of serenity, "Did Brother Feng also experience bullying in school?"

"I've already said I'm self-taught, of course, I never attended school."

"Ah!? That's impossible."

"Why not, Planet 103 never had anything like schools, let alone bullying."

Feng Yi smiled, his soft smile starkly contrasting Zi Yu's amazement, "Planet 103... I've heard it's a lawless land, the living conditions there are extremely harsh!"

"Yes, it's a planet where outlaws gather, grudges are usually settled immediately, often not lasting till the next day."

"Why?"

"Because by the next day, you'd be a corpse."

Zi Yu covered her cherry lips, "Does Brother Feng have friends over there?"

Feng Yi nodded...

During his years in the Seventh District, he undoubtedly had comrades he fought alongside—Old A.

Upholding the principle 'gentlemen make fortunes in a rightful way' was a value Lasso instilled in him from a young age, because of this, his heart was impervious to confusion, knowing which tasks to accept and which to refuse since his youth.

This was also why he and Old A were early on renowned as the most principled mercenaries in the Seventh District, never solely profit-driven like the outlaws, but this greatly obstructed some people's financial gains.

Consequently, Old A unfortunately drew a fatal calamity.

The one who killed him was the biggest arms dealer in the area—a friendship across age, and his only friend on the Colonial Planet, as well as his battle companion.

Upon receiving Old A's death news, Feng Yi froze for several minutes but did not hesitate, he had to hit the dealer for both public and private reasons, because the next target could have been him.

He picked up his gun, prepared ammunition, explosives, and some food, and retaliated against the arms group that night in weather over minus 40 degrees Celsius.

If no one stands up for you, your comrades are your justice—Feng Yi

This snowfield sniper battle lasted a full day and night, with some freezing to death and others dying from excessive blood loss.

Even being accustomed to extremely cold environments, after a day of fighting under such intense focus, Feng Yi was also exhausted.

But the battle did not end, one could even say it had just begun, the dozens of broken mechas and reconnaissance equipment in the arms dealer's possession were what he feared most.

Despite thorough pre-battle preparations, including disguise crystals, stealth coatings, counter-detection devices, and interference equipment, the ongoing battle still caused multiple injuries to his body, the most dangerous being an explosive fragment lodged near his left shoulder socket, close to an artery, fortunately not lethal.

In this three-day pursuit and counter-pursuit process, some died in battle, some lost the will to fight, and many mercenaries and criminal organizations fled the next day, only he fought until the last moment.

The Seventh District, located at the strategic foothills of the Sacred Snow Mountain on the Colonial Planet, is perpetually engulfed by the spread of war flames, also being the region with the weakest military control and darkest atmosphere.

However, from then on, the Seventh District no longer had criminal organizations, with one reason—Feng Yi.

He was irreconcilable with criminals, even though Feng Yi lost his friend Old A, he didn't want others to endure the same pain.

Yes, this battle-hardened warrior proved with a battle just how terrifying his anger could be, he is Feng Yi of the Seventh District on the Colonial Planet, hence others simply call him Seventh District Feng Yi.

Everyone has a childhood, a story deeply buried in the heart, whether you grow up in the sunlight or in extreme environments like the Colonial Planet, essentially there's no difference, compromise is just a concession.

If you're unable to adapt to your environment and it changes your innate vitality, you will no longer be the person you once were.

Feng Yi told Zi Yu a story that happened to him, the plot may be ordinary, but upon deep reflection, it seems not so ordinary, believing that few have such courage and determination to gamble with their lives.

After listening to his true account, Zi Yu was stunned, her eyes sparkled with stars, "Wow Brother Feng, you're so cool, I admire you to death!"
