New Phoenix City is located in the coastal area of Longzhou, a well-known tourist city in the Federation.Although the Federation claims to have entered the interstellar era, there is only one habitable planet. Other planets within reach are all within the Blue Star system, including the front-line battlefields and a few mining planets collectively known as the Perplexing Exoplanets.Due to its large population, the Blue Star has no shortage of tourists, and people living here can enjoy a high level of happiness.But Ji Xinghe was not happy at all. He had become a true loner."Sir, why are you here?"Inside the detention center in New Phoenix City, Ji Xinghe heard the question from the person next to him, but he didn't want to answer or look at anyone else. He sat there silently like a statue.In his hazy gaze, the image of his son, Ji Chenxing, emerged briefly, only to be replaced by a red blur—a head full of red hair.A young man with a red explosion of hair appeared in front of Ji

Tu Yuan watched the holographic projection screen in front of him expressionlessly. On it, Ji Xinghe effortlessly performed a shoulder throw, the entire process clean and crisp. Even though Tu Yuan had seen many skilled martial artists, he couldn't help but admire silently: this old man still had some skills.After all, he was 65 years old.Yet Tu Yuan remained expressionless. After watching it several times, he shifted his gaze to another holographic projection screen, which clearly displayed all of Ji Xinghe's information. The key point that made him expressionless was that the data did not show that Ji Xinghe had any martial arts skills.So he asked directly, "Why?"The people from the detention center and the New Phoenix City Police Department were a bit puzzled, unsure of what the famous federal Major General was asking about.Tu Yuan was well-known because he didn't become a federal Major General this year; he became one three years ago when he was only 37 years old, making him

"Hey, old Jixing is back! Been gone for days, probably off chasing some old lady.""Nonsense, old Jixing never pays attention to those old ladies. You think he's like you, an old man dancing in the square every day. Old Jixing, how about a game of chess? It's been ages since we played. I'll give you a rook.""Hah, you give old Jixing a rook? Hasn't it always been old Jixing giving you the rooks and knights?"In the green area of the community, a group of elderly men and women basking in the sun greeted Jixinghe, who had been absent for a few days, indicating that he was well-liked among the residents.This popularity was built on Jixinghe's willingness to help others, his excellent character both before and after his wife's passing, and the conditions of having a pension and retirement benefits."Nah, got things to do, you guys carry on."Jixinghe hurriedly responded and made his way straight to his home. He didn't want to discuss his experiences of the past few days with anyone, as i

"The old man's gone?" Inside the largest automobile repair factory in New Phoenix City, the mechanics gathered around the television set, their faces filled with disbelief. Some of them had watched Jike Chenxing grow up, while others had grown up alongside him. Over the years, Jike Xinghe had often visited the repair factory with his father, Jike Xinghe, who not only worked there but also imparted knowledge to his son. However, Jike Chenxing had never been keen on learning automobile repair. It wasn't because he couldn't learn; the older folks at the repair factory knew that Jike Chenxing was only interested in learning to drive and repair mechas. Unfortunately, none of the workers at the repair factory were knowledgeable about mechas; they only knew how to fix cars. To address this, Jike Xinghe had begun self-studying how to drive and repair mechas. However, having only theoretical knowledge didn't convince Jike Chenxing to learn from his father or the other workers at the repair fac

One by one, young runners were overtaken by Ji Xinghe. Initially, their gazes toward him were filled with resentment. And their resentment was not unfounded. If it weren't for Ji Xinghe chasing them from behind, they wouldn't have exhausted themselves in a frantic run, only to lose their stamina before completing the full course.As the resentful looks gradually faded, Ji Xinghe caught up with the leading pack. These young individuals, who usually engaged in rigorous physical training, adjusted their pace and conserved energy on the more forgiving stretch of the track after initially sprinting ahead and distancing themselves from others. They needed to complete the test within the designated time frame.One kilometer, two kilometers...When they reached the five-kilometer mark, exhaustion set in. Everyone was drenched in sweat, even the athletic students among them. This wasn't just a five-kilometer jog; they could easily do ten kilometers under normal circumstances. But jogging ten k
