I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 2 I don't care whether I live or die

Following her memory, Lin Xiaohe walked out of the school and was immediately attracted by the girl standing at the gate.

Her eyebrows were like dark ink, and her eyes were like autumn water, deep and bright. Her every glance was radiant, yet contained a hint of reserve and shyness.

"Second sister! What brings you here? I can get home by myself."

Lin Xiaohe stepped forward and took her second sister Lin Jingqiu's hand.

The planet isn't very safe, and young girls like Lin Jingqiu, who are beautiful but born mute, are easy targets for scumbags.

Lin Jingqiu looked at her younger sister with a smile, her eyes blinking as if they could speak.

Meeting such a gentle gaze, Lin Xiaohe felt unusually guilty.

Lin Xiaohe lowered her head slightly and whispered, "I failed the exam."

A hint of regret flashed in Lin Jingqiu's eyes, but she quickly regained her gentle demeanor, reaching out to ruffle Lin Xiaohe's hair.

Lin Xiaohe looked up and met Lin Jingqiu's worried gaze: "Second sister, do you want to find a job?"

Lin Jingqiu nodded.

"No way! Jobs are so hard to find. You should stay home and take care of Mom and Dad. My homeroom teacher gave me an application form, and I'll apply for a job tomorrow. I'm sure I can earn back the tax money!"

Lin Jingqiu had made up her mind, but not wanting to upset her younger sister, she nodded with a smile.

The exam location is quite far from Lin's house; you need to take a bus and then walk one kilometer.

When taking the bus, many people use facial recognition to pay, but Lin Xiaohe and her sister both use star coins.

To enable facial recognition payment, you need to pay an annual management fee of 20 Star Coins.

The Stardust Wheat grown by the Lin family only sells for 8 Star Coins per kilogram!

The Lin family was reluctant to enable facial recognition payment.

The bus travels on a monorail and moves very fast. Before Lin Xiaoqiao could even look at the scenery outside the window, they arrived at their stop and it was time to get off.

After getting off the bus, all around were fields of wheat, with sparse patches of wheat growing among them.

The ears of these star wheat resemble tree burls—few and unsightly, some even a deep red, making them unpleasant to look at.

Lin Xiaohe stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed, as she suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound.

[I'm starving, I need some food! Please help me out!]

Lin Xiaohe turned her head, trying to find out who was speaking.

A man wearing a helmet and gloves, whose face could not be seen, suddenly emerged from the wheat field.

Upon seeing Lin Xiaohe, the man was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed loudly, "Oh, Xiaohe, Jingqiu, you're finally back! Hurry back and check on your family, something's happened!"

Lin Jingqiu grabbed Lin Xiaohe and ran home.

The Lin family's house is located at the easternmost end of Hengshan Village. Usually, there are few people there, but now, the sounds of arguing can be heard from a great distance.

"Mr. Lin, this year's land tax, air purification tax, water bill, and security maintenance fee for your family of seven will total 24310 star coins. If you don't pay by the 15th of next month, we'll have to remove you from the city!" Once outside the city, you'll be completely exposed to star pollution, and without any protective measures, you'll surely die!
The villagers gathered in front of the Lin family's house, watching the commotion from afar.

“I told them not to let Xiaohe take the college entrance exam, it's a complete waste of money, but they wouldn't listen! My son just messaged me saying that Xiaohe failed the exam, and she actually dared to apply to the Federal Central Military Academy!”

"Lin Xiaohe is really... spending money on her is like throwing money down the drain. No one on our wasteland planet has ever been admitted to the Federal Central Military Academy! What kind of pipe dream is she having!"

"Over 2 star coins! The entire Lin family is disabled, and their stardust wheat this year was infected with stardust disease, resulting in a complete crop failure. Where are they going to earn that kind of money?!"

Lin Xiaohe pushed through the crowd and saw a man sitting in a wheelchair with empty legs below the knees blocking the doorway. He spoke in a friendly tone.

"Brother Cheng, it's not time yet, what are you doing?"

The man called Brother Cheng patted the other man's face and sneered, "Lin Tieshan, I'll spare your life since you call me brother. I'll buy these fifty acres of land for ten thousand star coins. You can also sell Lin Jingqiu to the theater for ten thousand star coins. Your daughter Lin Xiaohe..."

Lin Tieshan clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead! What kind of hellish place is the theater? Women who go in never come out!

Cheng Ge watched with a half-smile as pain, anger, and helplessness flashed across Lin Tieshan's face, like a cat playing with a mouse, enjoying the prey's helpless struggle.

None of the villagers watching dared to utter a sound. Although they were enjoying the spectacle, they all felt uneasy, as if they shared a sense of shared sorrow.

When Lin Jingqiu saw her father being humiliated, her eyes instantly reddened. She rushed over, squatted down next to the wheelchair, and held Lin Tieshan's hand.

Cheng Ge brazenly sized up Lin Jingqiu, from her chest to her waist to her hips, as if she were merchandise: "Jingqiu has grown up. Although she's mute, some big shots have a thing for her. I'll try to sell you for a high price, only taking a 10% cut. As for Lin Xiaohe..."

Cheng Ge's body suddenly stiffened as something cold and hard pressed against his waist.

"Uncle Cheng, were you looking for me?" Lin Xiaohe asked like a ghost, pressing close to Brother Chen's lower back to block the view of others.

Cheng tried to turn around, but something pressed against his lower back pushed him hard.

Lin Xiaohe said quietly, "Uncle Cheng, don't move it. This is my first time using this thing, I'm not very skilled, be careful not to misfire it."

Cheng couldn't see what the thing was; he only caught a glimpse of a cold light out of the corner of his eye.

Cheng Ge's face darkened completely: "Lin Xiaoqiao, are you resisting law enforcement? When the patrol officers arrive, you're dead for sure!"

A glint of utter despair flashed in Lin Xiaohe's eyes, but her hand holding the gun remained as steady as a mountain: "I don't care whether I live or die, I just want you to die!"

Cheng Ge stared intently at Lin Xiaoqiao, his face turning pale and then flushed.

Everyone present was stunned by Lin Xiaoqiao's reaction.

"Xiaohe, don't be impulsive! Even if you didn't do well on the college entrance exam, you don't need to be so self-destructive."

"Brother Cheng, why don't you go back first? Xiao He filled out the wrong college application; she applied to the Federal Central Military Academy. She must have gone crazy because of some kind of shock!"

Cheng Ge's heart skipped a beat. If Lin Xiaohe was crazy, she might act impulsively and risk everything.

Even if Lin Xiaohe is punished in the end, what good will it do if I lose my life?

Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and forced a smile: "Xiao He, failure is the mother of success. If we don't pass the exam this time, we can retake it next year! As for your family's tax arrears, I can postpone it until the end of next month at the latest. I can't postpone it any longer, I don't have that authority."

Lin Xiaohe quickly snatched the item from her hand and hid it in her sleeve, then smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Cheng! I will study hard and make progress every day!"

Cheng felt a tightness in his chest, but he didn't want to be caught off guard, so he could only leave with his men, secretly making a decision in his heart that he absolutely could not let the Lin family turn the tables!
