Darwin Harris had a good name and a good family.

He lives on Venus. A vast plain: the low Etalanta plains.

Like most conservative Venus citizens, the Harris family has barely left this multimillion-square-kilometer plain.

Therefore, the local citizens will be trapped in the local area for a lifetime, and at the same time more conservative.

As one of the first two planets to be colonized by humans, Venus is far less open than Mars. This may also have something to do with the sparsely populated nature of Venus. It is also related to the fact that the sun rises or sets every 100 days.

The planet's slow rotation speed allows the humans on it to communicate slowly.

Darwin was born on such a planet, in such a family. The family's pasture and grassland are enough for his son to inherit his father's business and have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

However, the reality is always a little different from what is imagined.

His parents emigrated thirty years ago. For citizens who lived in this area at a very slow pace, thirty years ago was about the same as thirty days ago.

It was a new neighbor who had just moved in.

So when he was old enough to start primary school, Darwin found that there were no enthusiastic children in the school.

Darwin was excluded by the children who had known him for a long time. Darwin was forbidden to be approached by the small circle of girls whom they had known for a long time.

It's always like that with little kids. There is no good or evil, good or bad, and there are only two things that you think about when you do anything: "This is fun." That's not fun. ”

Isolate an out-of-tland child? This game is fantastic.

So Darwin spent his primary school years alone.

Of course, his parents knew about it, but they knew better that it was something that needed to be solved by himself. Family meddling will only make things worse.

By the time he got to high school, he had thought things would get better. He will have friends who can be with each other, and he will meet girls he likes.

Eventually, he found himself still overthinking.

Darwin began to be bullied.

All men are created equal – don't be deceived by this quote from the Declaration of Independence from this 18th-century work. In fact, at the time when this phrase was born, slavery was legal. Human trafficking is protected by the government. Women have no human rights.

However, since the 20th century, mankind has been working hard in this direction.

After hundreds of years of educational evolution, humanity has just moved away from this state of bullying its own kind. But there are always some minor problems, such as Darwin's classmates - and their tutors are not very good.

So he was bullied badly in high school, and he began to never communicate with anyone. Spend all day in your room and rely on games to get by.

Then 10 years passed.

On this day, at the age of 25, he has become a federal adult male. His grades prevented him from getting a college education. One day, he heard that an organization called the Society of Eternal Life was recruiting members. This was posted by someone in the chat group of his high school classmates.

Of course he wouldn't attend.

Just two weeks later, he received an interview notice that Immortal would tell him to take the space elevator to an address in Floating City tomorrow at 8 a.m.

Undoubtedly, it was his high school classmates who signed him up.

They're not doing it for Darwin's sake, they're just doing it a lot – like putting Darwin's contact information on same-sex dating sites, and signing Darwin up for a 10,000-metre exploration of the school.

He wasn't going to go, but because something happened last night, he decided to go for an interview.

He wanted his parents to be proud of him.

……

"That's why I hate coming to Venus."

Sending off an interviewer, a petite woman with blond hair and a dark gold dress at the interview table hugged her chest and complained. "Old-fashioned and self-righteous, he considers himself a noble shepherd."

After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Joyce on the side: "Don't remind me, I know this doesn't mean everyone." But let me vent a bit. ”

Owen on the other side shouted, "Next, Darwin." ”

The door was pushed open, and a young man with a somewhat restrained pace walked into the room.

He sat down in his chair and only dared to let his ass get a little touch.

Owen looked through Darwin's delivery information, and then raised his head: "You didn't write it, did you?" ”

Darwin's body stiffened, and his answer was extremely difficult: "My classmates like to tease me." ”

"Understood." Owen closed the information and raised his chin. "Then you just leave."

Darwin nodded stiffly and shuffled towards the door with heavy steps.

His hand gripped the doorknob, opened the slit, and was closed again.

Darwin plucked up the courage to ask, "I can join the perpetual ...... Will it? ”

Darwin, who had forgotten his name, was so nervous that he fainted.

"It's the Eternal Life Society." Owen prompted.

"Can I join the Eternal Life Society......?"

"Yes." Owen put the document aside. "Tell me about you, why do you want to join the Eternal Life Society?"

The woman who had complained earlier was not much mocking.

Darwin walked back to his chair and did not sit down. That would make him more nervous.

"I want to help my parents."

Owen nodded, "That's what most of us think, is there anything else?" ”

"Can I tell a story?"

Owen made a gesture of please.

Darwin told the story of being bullied as a child and becoming an autistic and introverted person.

He's always wanted to escape from reality. Until late last night, Darwin was playing augmented reality games in his bedroom. There was a difficult level that he couldn't pass anyway.

Angry and anxious, but his parents didn't dare to make a loud noise when they slept next door.

Until one time he finally passed successfully, the joy of overcoming the difficulties made him yell with all his might.

The father was awakened by the shouting and rushed into the house. Seeing that his son was just playing a game, he complained, "I have to work tomorrow." ”

Darwin apologized, but he was still excited and began to show off: "I just landed in Normandy and only suffered a few minor injuries!" ”

After saying that, he calmed down, his father didn't play games, and he didn't know what Normandy was.

But that didn't stop his father from being happy for him, and he shouted out of the bedroom: "It's okay boy,, our son is logged into Normandy!" ”

"Good son." Mother's shouts came from the other end of the room.

After that they went back to sleep, and so did Darwin.

When he woke up at noon the next day, he saw a cake in the kitchen with the words: "You landed in Normandy".

"They want to be proud of me." Darwin burst into tears, his swollen eyes revealing determination. "So I'm going to make them proud of me."

The blonde woman said, "So you're a wreck, a dead house, Luther, and no one cares about your shit?" ”

“…… Yes. Darwin sniffled, his sleeve rubbing against his eyes. The buttons of the sleeves left a red mark on the eyes. "Not anymore."

"A man of courage."

Joyce said.

"Welcome to the Eternal Life Society.
