Chapter 8: Some things, someone has to do them anyway

  "Have you seen the news?" said Uncle.

  "Hmm" Li Yuan nodded.

  The seven planets are far apart from each other, and many star boundaries have appeared on each planet.

  The number of star boundaries on Blue Star is relatively small among the seven major planets.

  Xingjie, a foreign civilization that can reach the depths of the starry sea, is the front line of war between human civilization and foreign domains.

  There are often battles taking place.

  The highest-level star boundary within the summer border is the Luobu Sea Star Boundary in Beijiang Province, which belongs to a second-level star boundary and has a large number of troops stationed there all year round.

  Li Yuan has been at school for several days and heard that a war broke out again in the Robes Star Sector, but he was not clear about the severity of the situation.

  It seems quite urgent now.

  "The Robo Sea War broke out suddenly, and headquarters ordered us to go support the construction." My uncle said with a smile, looking very relaxed.

  "Were leaving tonight, on the 3am high-speed train." The aunt beside her said, with a worried look in her eyes.

  Li Yuan looked at his uncle with equal concern.

  In Li Yuans memory, his impression of his parents was already very vague, after all, they had passed away when he was only two or three years old.

  Li Yuan was raised by his uncle and aunt, who treated him like their own son.

  In Li Yuans eyes, his uncle and aunt were equivalent to his parents.

  Uncle, named Li Changzhou, has a decent martial arts talent, graduated from Jiangbei Martial Arts University, and also obtained a double degree in "Civil Water Conservancy Ocean Engineering". After graduation, he became a mid-level manager of a state-owned enterprise, with a very good salary.

  Aunts name is Chen Hui, she is a middle school math teacher.

  The couple has been together for decades, which should be enough time to accumulate a decent amount of wealth. Why do they still live in an old neighborhood?

  Li Yuan is clear because of himself!

  The cost of treating illnesses and surgeries since childhood has accumulated to over 10 million Blue Star coins, and later the expenses for recuperation, various supplements, therapeutic care, and biological agents are also a huge sum.

  From junior high school onwards, practicing martial arts is also a bottomless pit.

  Like his younger cousin Li Mu Hua, he showed exceptional martial arts talent that surpassed Li Yuans in middle school, and had already awakened to the essence of martial arts by the first year.

  However, the various cultivation resources his younger cousin has obtained now are still inferior to those of Li Yuan back then.

  Uncle and aunt never say anything.

  Younger brothers and sisters also never felt that Li Yuan had occupied their resources.

  But Li Yuan himself felt a little guilty towards his uncle and aunt, as well as his younger brother and sister.

  This is also an important reason why Li Yuan has been consciously and crazily practicing since junior high school.

  He didnt want his uncle and aunts expectations to be in vain, so he was determined to make some achievements.

  Especially after high school, further clarify goals, hoping to rely on their own efforts, in the future repay uncle and aunt, but also make up for younger brother and sister.

  When Li Yuan first entered high school, his physical fitness had already reached 5.0 level, and then he awakened the mysterious Heart Palace, causing his martial arts cultivation to soar rapidly.

  "The spiritual palace is indeed mysterious, but if one doesnt make an effort oneself, its all in vain." Li Yuan realized this after awakening his spiritual palace.

  So he became more and more afraid of slackening off.

  "Admitted to Wudao University."

  "He aspired to be admitted to one of the top five prestigious schools and eventually become a high-ranking warrior."

  Not just for myself, but also for my family.

  Just now, when he learned that his uncle was about to go to Robe Bay, Li Yuans heart skipped a beat.

  Uncle Li Changzhou said it lightly.

  But Li Yuan, who has been following the news for many years, is clear that resisting the invasion of alien civilizations from Starry Sky Beyond is the most dangerous for soldiers and warriors.

  Secondly, it is the workers who participate in the construction of various military defense facilities.

  Uncle Li Changzhou went this time, essentially serving as a laborer.

  To know that powerful Star Boundary creatures, ordinary heavy firearms are often unable to withstand, only some cutting-edge technological weapons or high-ranking warriors can.

  Extremely dangerous.

  "If I hadnt fallen ill back then, or if my martial arts training hadnt been so costly, Uncle could have stayed in the city with a clear conscience, doing some municipal maintenance work would have been enough, and he wouldnt have had to volunteer for an external assignment just to earn that extra allowance." Li Yuan thought about this, and his heart felt even more uneasy.

  ……

  "Xiao Yuan, go into the bedroom first and talk slowly with him." Uncle Li Changzhou invited Li Yuan to enter the master bedroom.

  Inside the master bedroom were two small stools; Li Yuan sat down.

  The uncle sat on the edge of the bed.

  "Bang!" Auntie gently closed the door.

  Li Changzhous hair was somewhat sparse, although slightly fat, but had a refined and elegant demeanor.

  "Originally, your aunt advised me not to talk to you, saying it would affect your third year of high school studies." Li Changzhou smiled at Li Yuan: "But I think that as a man from the Li family, we should be able to withstand any pressure."

  Aunt Chen Hui remained silent and sat down beside her.

  "Uncle, you speak," Li Yuan said in a low voice.

  "According to the information I received, several entrances and defense systems of Robbs Sea were severely damaged this time. The military and Star Sky Martial Hall suffered heavy casualties." Li Changzhou said calmly: "This impact was withstood, but if it is attacked again, there is a risk of being thoroughly breached."

  Li Yuan held his breath, thoroughly breaking through?

  The entrance and exit of the starry sky is a crucial gate for human civilization to resist invasion.

  Once breached, it is absolutely a disaster.

  That year, parents died in the Star Boundary disaster.

  "This time I go, there is a risk of death." Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan calmly: "War, which one doesnt have people dying?"

  "Uncle, cant you not go?" Li Yuan couldnt help but say.

  "Headquarters asked us to go, but if we really dont want to, theres a way out, after all, the country has only issued a level three alert." Li Changzhou smiled.

  Li Yuan listened.

  China has divided its war danger into three levels of alert, with level 3 being the lowest and level 1 being the highest.

  Once a first-level alert is initiated, the entire nation will enter a state of war and full mobilization will be carried out. All citizens and all materials must be ready to follow the call-up order at any time.

  For a century, the first-level alert of Xia State was only activated once in 2028.

  Level 1 alert also has a civilized alert, which can only be issued after the joint confirmation of the Seven-Star Alliances highest council and the three major martial halls.

  Once issued, it means that at least one human planet is in a life-or-death situation and requires full support from other planets.

  Since the founding of the League, in hundreds of years, a civilization alert has been initiated only once.

  But even if its just the lowest level of third-level alert, once issued, it also represents a large amount of material consumption and personnel casualties.

  "Xiao Yuan, I can stay behind." Uncle Li Changzhou smiled: "But if I dont go, someone else must replace me."

  "Theres always someone who has to go, isnt there?"

  Li Yuan fell silent.

  "What can you do? Such a big company, and its all up to you?" Aunt Chen Hui suddenly shouted out loud, her eyes reddening.

  Li Changzhou had already agreed with her just now.

  In addition, in the living room, she was afraid that Li Xixi and Li Muhua would see through her, so she held back and didnt show it.

  But now, after hearing Li Changzhous words, he finally couldnt bear it and blurted out a sentence.

  Li Changzhou was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and silently wrapped it around his wife Chen Huis waist, comforting her.

  Chen Hui hung her head low, her eyes red-rimmed, and didnt say another word.

  Half response.

  "Xiao Yuan, dont worry too much." Li Changzhou slightly comforted his wife and looked at Li Yuan: "After all, Im not like other warriors who go close-range fighting, its not that dangerous."

  "After all, Im also a martial artist of some level, with some ability to defend myself." Li Changzhou said with a smile.

  Li Yuan remained silent and didnt say a word.

  Uncle graduated from Wudao University, and at his peak, his physical fitness exceeded level 12. However, after many years of work, hes probably around level 10 or 11 now, and many of his hand-to-hand combat skills are likely rusty.

  Martial arts is not about cultivating immortality, it requires daily diligent practice.

  Suddenly.

  "Drip!" Li Yuan instantly felt a vibration on his wrist and subconsciously lifted his hand to take a look.

  "Your account with the tail number 1486 has received 56,000.00 Blue Star Coins... Transferred to an account with a tail number of ... The balance is 58,324.12 Blue Star Coins." A line of text clearly floated on the screen.

  "Uncle, you?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

  He recognized at a glance that the last digit of the transfer account belonged to his uncle Li Changzhou.

  "This is your living expenses for September and October."

  "I went to Beijiang Province, the internet isnt always available, so Ill call you once and you take care of yourself." Li Changzhou smiled: "Before, I took you to find Uncle Zhong to buy basic Qi and blood medicine, you should have experience now."

  "Ive already spoken with your Uncle Zhang about it."

  "After this weekend when you have time, go to Wu Dian to buy it." Li Changzhou said: "The living expenses for the back end, your aunt will transfer to you at that time."

  "Aunt." Li Yuan looked at his aunt.

  "Listen to your uncle." Chen Huis heart slightly calmed down, and her voice became calm again: "Take the money, dont worry about home."

  Li Yuan remained silent and stopped asking questions.

  Ones own cultivation indeed requires money at present.

  "Right."

  "Have you thought about your college major direction?" Li Changzhou looked at Li Yuan.
