......

Gao Tian is going back to the orphanage where he and Lu Jianan grew up today.

We also need to deliver the furniture that Commander-in-Chief Qi used that we packed earlier, as well as some supplies and money, and also act as a backer for the orphanage.

Society is actually quite realistic.

Orphanages are easily bullied, and various subsidies are often delayed.

Only when enough successful and influential people emerge from among the children of the orphanage, and who do not forget their roots and always remember the orphanage, will administrative officials be able to treat them differently based on their background and dare not delay, thus improving the orphanage's situation.

To be honest, the teachers at their orphanage are all very good.

If it weren't for the teacher giving Gao Tian special care back then, in those war-torn times when life was uncertain and a child who couldn't even take care of himself for two years due to illness would have died long ago.

The children here are mostly war orphans, not children abandoned by their parents.

The orphanage teachers knew that the children had their own parents and didn't want to forget them, so they never asked the children to call her "Director Mom"; they just told them to call her "Teacher."

Gao Tian and the others called her teacher for eighteen years.

The dean is over fifty years old and is an ordinary female beta.

Her child now works in the military region in an administrative role and is very supportive of his mother's work.

It is truly remarkable that someone could take care of an orphanage for so many years and raise batches of children under relatively poor material conditions.

However, conditions are gradually improving now.

A large number of children in the military orphanage become alphas. As these alpha children grow up, they gradually gain military positions and capital. Almost no one is dissatisfied with the director or teachers; they all turn back to give back to their parents.

I didn't mention beta and omega, not to say that I'm ignoring beta and omega, but because of the inherent limitations, betas really have limited abilities. When they grow up, most of them will find a mediocre job, earn a mediocre salary, and live a mediocre ordinary life.

In an ABO society, it is very difficult for a beta to gain control of resources and power.

Once society has established a division of labor based on gender—leaders, the masses, and breeders—and then established a social status division based on this division of labor, breaking down this gender class division requires a thousand times more effort than others.

Of course, hard work isn't the most important thing; talent is.

Talent is a cruel thing; there is a clear line between geniuses and ordinary people, and if you don't have it, you simply don't have it.

At a higher level, it's no longer something that can be solved by hard work; it's all about talent, and no amount of effort will help.

It's already incredibly difficult for a beta to stand out; it's one in a million.

And omega——

omega......

When Gao Tian arrived at the orphanage today, he happened to witness a disturbance.

......

The paint on the iron gate was peeling badly, but it was cleaned very well.

Gao Tian pushed open the creaking iron gate and saw only a group of children playing in the yard.

The orphanage building is quite old and looks rather worn, but it has been kept very warm and cozy by the director and teachers.

The older children all took the initiative to help the younger children, thus reducing the burden on the dean and teachers.

The orphanage had very few toys, but the children were still very happy, their laughter ringing out.

The swing made of wooden planks and hemp rope in the corner is still there. The hemp rope has been replaced, and it looks quite decent now, not so shabby anymore.

The swing board is painted with a crooked sun, exactly the same as the one the headmaster drew on it when I was a child, without any change.

The blue paint on the slide had faded to grayish-white, but it was all kept very clean, and the edges of the handrails were polished to a shine without a single burr. A corner of the tile on the edge of the sandpit was broken, but it had been repaired properly.

Although they can't be said to have abundant material resources, the dean and teachers have done their best to provide them with the best life possible.

Gao Tian bent down and picked up the small ball that had rolled to his feet. It was the cheapest kind of rubber ball, with tiny cracks all over its surface, but it was clean.

"Brother Gaotian!" The children finally saw him and swarmed over to him.

Gao Tian carried various delicious foods and distributed them to them one by one.

"Thank you, Brother Gaotian!"

After distributing the food, Gao Tian looked around.

So much time has passed, and the dean still hasn't come out. I wonder what he's up to.

"Where's the Dean?" Gao Tian squatted down and asked a little girl wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with very short hair, who looked like a tomboy.

The little girl looked up, her face covered in a little sand, which Gao Tian wiped away.

The little girl rubbed her face again. "I don't know. I haven't seen the headmistress all day. It seems Cindy is sick again, and a doctor came to see him. The headmistress stayed with him all day."

Gao Tian stood up, his brows slightly furrowed.

This situation usually indicates a serious problem; otherwise, the principal and teachers wouldn't be absent for a whole day, leaving these children to play alone in the yard.

"Qianqian!" Gao Tian called to the oldest child at the moment.

Qianqian is already a teenager and can help the dean and teachers with many things.

"Brother Gaotian!" Qianqian ran over.

Qianqian has already differentiated and is now an alpha. Gao Tian patted his still-childish shoulder: "You're a big kid now. Help the headmaster keep an eye on the children and don't let them run around."

There's a natural hierarchy among alphas, and Qianqian was very serious, as if she'd accepted a mission: "Yes, Brother Gaotian!"

"Go and lock the iron gate." Gao Tian patted him on the shoulder again. "From now on, the gate must be locked whenever the dean is not here, understand?"

"OK!"

After watching Qianqian lock the door, Gao Tian patted each of the children on the head, telling them to be good and pay attention to safety, before heading towards the accommodation area at the back.

We are now in a time of peace, and the living conditions in orphanages are much better than those in Gao Tian and his friends' childhood.

At least the children no longer have to fight over survival supplies and can coexist peacefully.

Orphans in the military region have a very high probability of alpha differentiation, so they have no trouble being adopted.

But as I said before, they are war orphans, not children abandoned by their parents.

The orphanage can provide them with basic living support. They all have their own parents, do not want to be adopted, and do not want to call anyone else "Dad" or "Mom".

Aside from extremely young children, one or two years old, who don't even remember their parents, there are virtually no cases of children over three years old being adopted.

The director and teachers took good care of them, and they were able to live happily in the orphanage.

As Gao Tian walked further into the accommodation area, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Several armored vehicles have appeared on the roads in the accommodation area, and guards with guns are on duty and martial law is in effect.

The vehicles and the guards' shoulder epaulets all bear the flower emblem of the Omega Nursery Center.

Gao Tian understood immediately.

This is probably not because a child is sick, but because a child in the orphanage has differentiated into an omega.
