You're Amazing!

BX10081 Star System, Storm Port spaceport docking bay.

The silvery-white spaceport hovered in the pitch-black void, its massive energy shield shimmering with a pale blue halo, isolating the incoming starships from the cosmic dust.

Liu Hui stood on the docking platform, his face weathered by the journey, with streaks of white hair even appearing at his temples. Behind him, a timid little girl clutched the hem of his shirt, her other hand held by a woman with a haggard face but gentle eyes.

The three of them gazed at the futuristic space structure before them, their eyes filled with deep emotion and exhaustion.

It had taken him a full two and a half years to get here.

Ten thousand light-years! One light-year is 9.46 trillion kilometers; a span of ten thousand light-years is enough to make the vast majority of people shrink back in fear.

Liu Hui remembered clearly that it had taken him half a month just to find a relatively safe route: this route required combining tourist ships, cargo vessels, and even interstellar buses, transferring through over a dozen transit star systems, with every step accompanied by unknown risks.

Yet, he had still emptied his entire savings without hesitation, embarking on this journey with his wife and daughter.

During these two and a half years, they had encountered threats and scams from aliens who used fake "interstellar passes" to demand exorbitant fees; they had experienced sudden magnetic storms that nearly paralyzed the starship's energy system, leaving them drifting in the dark void for three days and three nights.

They had even felt the gravitational pull of a black hole at close range, the hull twisted by an invisible force, nearly leaving them forever in the abyss of the universe. There were also space pirates lurking on the shipping lanes who boarded the ship with energy weapons to search it; he had shielded his wife and daughter behind him with his life, only barely escaping disaster.

Countless times in the depths of the night inside the ship's cabin, Liu Hui would ask himself: Why did he have to cross such a vast distance to come to this strange star system?

He remembered when he was 18 and had just graduated from high school, full of spirit as he swore to the stars that he would carve out a world of his own; at 24, fresh out of college, he had rushed between various recruitment centers with his resume, his eyes full of expectations for the future.

But now, in his thirties, he was just an ordinary Planetary Rank martial artist. A single punch could exert dozens of tons of force—it sounded impressive, but he couldn't even shoulder the crushing weight of life.

The meager Silver Blue Coins he earned each month had to cover the mortgage, the airship loan, medicine for his ailing parents, his child's education expenses, and the daily living costs for the whole family; his account was nearly empty every single month.

Over a decade of society's harsh beatings had long since worn down his edges.

He finally understood that he was just an ordinary person. He might spend the rest of his life in such mediocrity, and his children might also be trapped at the bottom forever, having their surplus value stripped away by the elite for generations.

The only reason they were still alive was that they still had "utility value."

Until the news from his good brother Tang Ping arrived.

The first time, Tang Ping said he had become the governor of the BX10081 Star System and asked him to come over, promising to look after him. Liu Hui hesitated.

The second time, Tang Ping broke through to the Star Rank and sent another message, his tone still firm. He still didn't dare to make a move.

Should he settle for the status quo and let his child repeat his own life? Or should he take a gamble and fight for a bright future for his child?

The day he changed his mind, he saw his young daughter leaning against the screen, watching the images on the news with longing: little girls on other planets eating heavenly treasures infused with origin force, wearing gorgeous Origin Force Battle Suits, flying freely among the stars.

His daughter whispered to him, "Daddy, when can we go to space to play too?"

At that moment, Liu Hui finally understood.

"You only live once! Why sleep so long before you die when you'll have an eternity to sleep after?" he told himself in his heart. "If I don't take advantage of my youth and energy to do something I truly want to do, I will definitely regret it when I close my eyes."

This short life will eventually be lost, so one might as well be bold: love someone, climb a mountain, chase a dream!

He would go for it!

Over these two and a half years, he had wanted to give up countless times, wanting to take his wife and daughter home, or even wanting to message Tang Ping for help. But every time he saw his daughter's expectant eyes and his wife's silent support, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Now, he had finally reached his destination.

But looking at the vast star system before him, with only this lonely spaceport, Liu Hui's heart still cooled by half.

With such a small spaceport, how many opportunities could there be? Tang Ping was just an ordinary son-in-law of the Luo Family; what kind of position could he possibly arrange for him?

Don't tell me I've been scammed? he muttered to himself, unable to help but sigh, pulling his bewildered wife and daughter along as they walked slowly forward.

Since I'm already here, I hope he doesn't screw me over too hard. Liu Hui calculated inwardly. I'm at least a Planetary Rank martial artist; the very least he could do is arrange a stable mining job for me, right? I'll buy high insurance then, which would at least provide some security for my wife and daughter.

Just then, a flash of azure light suddenly streaked by, and Tang Ping's figure appeared out of thin air before him, a familiar smile on his face. Before he could react, Tang Ping punched him directly in the chest.

"Why didn't you tell me you were here until you arrived? That couldn't have been easy! You should have said something earlier, and I would have sent someone to pick you up!" Tang Ping's voice was filled with laughter, yet it hid a trace of heartache.

Liu Hui's eyes turned red instantly, the grievances and exhaustion accumulated over two years erupting at once. He punched Tang Ping back, his voice choked with sobs: "You bastard, aren't you setting me up? Why didn't you tell me this dump of a place doesn't even have a habitable planet!

You're so noble, so high and mighty! And now you hit me the moment we meet! Fine, great! You tricked me into coming here; did you ever think about what kind of life I've been living these past few years? I've been scammed, bullied, and almost died!"

Tang Ping threw an arm around his shoulder and patted his back, his tone softening: "Cut the crap! Who told you to be so self-righteous and not tell me in advance? Don't worry, now that you're here, I'll definitely look after you!"

"Really?" Liu Hui wiped his tears, his voice still trembling.

He wasn't afraid of hardship himself, but he was afraid of his wife and daughter suffering. They were so fragile, yet they trusted him with all their hearts.

"Really! Truer than gold!" Tang Ping said with a smile, taking the luggage from his hands and waving at Liu Hui's wife and daughter. "Sister-in-law, niece, you've had a hard journey! Come on, I'll take you to the Governor's Mansion to wash away the dust of the road!"

With that, Tang Ping led the way out of the starship port.

Along the way, people kept bowing to Tang Ping, their voices respectful: "Lord Governor!" "Greetings, Governor!"

Liu Hui followed behind, watching the various aliens and the powerful figures who looked like mountains of pressure—people who clearly weren't to be trifled with—all bowing and scraping before Tang Ping. His mood gradually lifted, but then, a new sense of panic arose.

He had originally thought Tang Ping was just a "loser" governor and that he could still be brothers with him like before, but now it seemed he was such a big shot...

Should I start calling him "Master" like in the old stories? Liu Hui's mind wandered. What if I can't bring myself to say it? And seeing him act so cool, what if I want to laugh?

If I laugh out loud, will he beat me up?

He snuck a glance at Tang Ping walking in front and saw him talking to his daughter, making her laugh out loud. The panic in his heart subsided a little.

It didn't seem so bad after all!
