The male supporting character was actually myself.

"An orphan?" Jiang Chen perked up upon hearing this, slamming his right fist into his left palm and exclaiming excitedly, "That's wonderful!"

Andrea: ? ? ?

What's so good about losing both parents?

"It is common knowledge that people who have lost both parents and live in orphanages are not ordinary people."

Andrea: ⊙(?◇?)?

is that true?

How come I've never heard of this?

The little devil's knowledge seems a bit strange...

"He hasn't been making many wishes lately?" Jiang Chen smiled slightly, revealing sharp teeth that accentuated his devilish aura, and his voice became increasingly seductive. "Would you like to let him make a simple wish, and you can fulfill it to boost your strength?"

The other person nodded, looking completely bewildered.

"He doesn't make wishes because he lives in a narrow little circle and has no desires left. That's why he has all sorts of ridiculous and unrealistic ideas like saving the world. You should let him change his living environment. Why don't you bring him to join the resistance!"

"What's the connection between these two things?" Andelin asked, puzzled. "So you join the rebels and expect to make a wish?"

His bright eyes were full of laughter. "Of course, you can tell him that he can become a savior by making a wish. If the child is really as kind-hearted as you say, he will definitely agree."

Think about it, what do the resistance fighters, living in harsh conditions and lacking food, clothing, and weapons and ammunition, need most?

They need an all-powerful wish-granting machine!

Bring the child you're protecting to the Rebel base. He will grant your wish and increase your strength; with such strong support, the Rebels can quickly grow stronger, overthrow the Federation, and build a new world.

"how about you?"

“Me?” Jiang Chen grinned. “Of course I reap the souls of the guilty and safeguard world peace. However, if a child living in a wealthy metropolis wants to go to such a remote and harsh place as Falling Moon City, what if he doesn’t want to…”

He was about to suggest that he might try to persuade her, but Undrine interrupted him firmly, saying, "He'll be willing!"

Just kidding, why not get involved in something so interesting and beneficial for increasing your skills?

She thought that even if Jiang Jinfeng was unwilling to go, she would lure him to Luoyue City!

The thought of her monotonous and boring days of the past ten years becoming a thing of the past, and her journey with the devil to conquer new territories in a remote border town, filled Andrea with an irrepressible joy.

"He'll definitely be willing to help!" she repeated, looking into the devil's beautiful, alluring eyes. "Let's set a time and place, where shall we meet?"

As Jiang Jinfeng watched the live broadcast on the big screen, the chill in his heart reached its peak.

Before this, he only knew that the world was sick and that people's immersion in the internet and entertainment was a kind of illness, but he never expected that a reality show would contain so many mysteries.

The "entertainment to the death" mentality has robbed the public of their ability to think critically. They follow the virtual world created by the production teams, chasing trends and venting their emotions, becoming tools of the rulers.

What did Qin Xiaoyao, that little girl chosen from Luoyue City, do wrong?

She was drugged, framed, and plotted against, and in the end, she was to become the sinner who destroyed her hometown!

The culprits, however, rise above the people, enjoying the praise and eternal fame brought by the false appearance of benevolence.

Innocent lives should not be trampled on!

"What can I do?" Jiang Jinfeng felt more and more pained as he thought about it. He could get everything he wanted, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, by making a wish to an angel. He was like a parasite who could live off others' labor.

He couldn't save the world with this ability, and in his distress, he buried himself in a pile of books, not wanting to see the aftermath of the chaotic garrison rushing into the press conference to clean up the scene.

"Little Wind, I'm back!" Angel Andrei flapped her wings and landed on the balcony. She glanced at the big screen and saw that it was indeed broadcasting live. A sly smile flashed across her face.

She then tiptoed into the room, and with a slight movement of her fingers, the books were gently moved aside, revealing the boy curled up underneath.

"You saw what happened on the live stream, right?" The angel's smile was impeccably gentle, yet her words carried a hint of pride. "How about it? Exposing the Federation's conspiracy directly, doesn't that save the world?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinfeng, who had been motionless, immediately sat up, staring intently at his guardian angel with disbelief. "You did that? Really?"

"You want to save the world, right? As your guardian angel who grants all your wishes, shouldn't I come up with a way?"

Andreas spouted nonsense with a straight face, “Now even if the leaders wanted to cover it up, they couldn’t anymore. Their crimes have been exposed to the world. The cage that has imprisoned the people will be opened, and the world will finally achieve true peace as you wish.”

Jiang Jinfeng, who had been thoroughly fooled, felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but then shook his head in disappointment and denied it, saying, "But this simply cannot shake the foundation of the Federal Headquarters."

They control the channels of communication and will try to gloss over this, maybe even finding a few scapegoats. It could be Moonfall City, it could be the resistance, but... the Federation won't be the one to pay the price.

“I’m here!” Andelin’s smile widened. “Humanity has you, and you have me. Go join the resistance! Once there, your wishes can come true. Let’s join forces to help the resistance overthrow the evil Federation’s rule and build a new world together!”

That's it for Chapter Twenty-Four?

“An Dailin…” Jiang Jinfeng was stunned. He never expected that the gentle, kind, pure and flawless angel could say such inspiring words.

In my memory, she always spoke the gentlest and most peaceful words with a soft, gentle smile.

She can soothe a wounded heart;

She would use her wings to cast a soft, holy light to sweep away all darkness.

But the angels never encouraged themselves to do anything, especially things like joining a resistance movement involving killing and rebellion.

Jiang Jinfeng pinched himself incredulously, wincing in pain.

I wasn't dreaming; my guardian angel said she would help me fulfill my wish to save the world!

"That's wonderful! Adele, you're the best angel in the world!" He jumped up excitedly and said, "I'll pack my things right now, let's go to District 12 to find the resistance!"

She was very satisfied with this, nodded contentedly and smiled, "Of course, I'm the kindest angel, how could I bear to see you so unhappy?"

Ah, let's go to Falling Moon City and pull off a big heist!

The thought of teaming up with the little devil to turn the world upside down filled Andrea with exhilaration. She wanted to fulfill Jiang Chen's wish as soon as possible, as it would be a fun and exciting thing to celebrate.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

Thousands of miles away, deep in the dark forest of Falling Moon City, four or five men dressed in patched old clothes were fiddling with an outdated, dilapidated television.

Perhaps due to the poor signal, the screen mostly displayed static, accompanied by an annoying crackling sound.

"Is this even going to work?" The youngest lad, his face full of anxiety, scratched his neck and muttered, "We finally managed to connect to the storage disk signal from the garrison, but the TV is holding us back."

The old man in charge of maintenance had a long beard that was half gray and half white. He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and was exhaling a thick cloud of smoke when he spoke in a voice as loud as thunder. “What can we do?”

This thing was phased out by the garrison more than a decade ago.

Didn't you see it on TV? All 39 countries have switched to high-tech products. A tiny gadget the size of a button can project onto a screen anywhere!

Well, the equipment at the military base has all been upgraded, so it's already pretty good that this old relic can even get a signal.

It's probably because of the rain the past couple of days; I don't know if it can still be fixed.

Hearing him say that, everyone else looked disappointed.

"We just saw the zombies coming out. I wonder if Qin Xiaoyao will be able to escape safely. Why can't we watch at this crucial moment!"

"Sigh, we all misunderstood Qin Xiaoyao before. We really thought she was stupid and dumb, but who knew she had been drugged!"

"Haven't the Federation done enough disgusting things? There's no way you can believe their reality show. Who knows what kind of twist will happen later and drag Qin Xiaoyao into it again."

"Qin Xiaoyao represents Luoyue City, and I'm afraid the Federation might use this opportunity to attack Luoyue City!"

"Isn't this exactly what they're planning? Do you even need to guess? Haven't you noticed how tense things are at the military base?"

"I don't know what the boss is thinking. We've just been lying here like this, with no food, no clothes, and no guns or ammunition. What will happen then..."

The youngest lad almost blurted out something discouraging, but the repairman glared at him and shut up.

The atmosphere in the dimly lit cave was somewhat oppressive.

Even without him saying it, everyone in the resistance could feel a faint sense of despair enveloping them.

The lack of food and clothing wasn't the most important thing; after all, staying deep in the forest meant you could always find something to fill your stomach and not get too hungry. The real problem was the lack of guns and ammunition.

These rebels were all spontaneously organized. Some of them had their parents killed, and some had their wives and daughters kidnapped. With no home and no hope of survival, they were left with nothing but revenge.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. However, when generation after generation of rebels become the epitome of dragon slayers who eventually become dragons themselves, the cruelty of reality makes it impossible to see a way out.

"Wait a little longer, we can't fall into the Federation's trap." At the edge of the rebels' makeshift base, leader Zhao Yi gazed firmly at the distant mountains, casually putting away his worn-out binoculars as he patiently explained, "The Federation has a very clever plan. Why choose celebrities? Isn't it to win people's hearts and minds?"

Once they'd chosen the children, they started spreading rumors about how well those kids were doing in the outside world—how they were living rich, successful, and leading happy lives with their families. Ha, it was all a scam.

It's about tricking ordinary people who know nothing into having children to gamble, hoping that one of their children will be chosen so that their whole family can turn their lives around, leave Luoyue City, and become superior people in the outside world.

Look at all that nonsense taught in those textbooks; they're trying to rot us from the very root.

Now is not the right time to retaliate. After Qin Xiaoyao was elected, public sentiment is high. If we launch an attack at this time, we will not only fail to gain support, but will also be hated by the majority of people who have high hopes for the future.

People are like that; they only focus on vague and unrealistic illusions and completely fail to see their own difficult situation.

The assistant, chewing on a few leaves, said in a muffled voice, "But we can't keep lying low like this. If we stay like this for too long, we'll lack everything and morale will plummet. If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Yi pointed to the distant mountains and lowered his voice, "It won't be long. The garrison in the mines over there is about to be replaced. You know, the Federation values ​​these rich mineral resources, but the civilians who were kidnapped to mine are not treated as human beings."

When the troops are being exchanged, we'll ambush them on the road.

First, kill the garrison that's rushing to the handover; then we'll have plenty of food, guns, and ammunition. Those guys aren't as agile as us in the jungle, and having just moved bases, they probably won't expect us to be lying in ambush here.

After succeeding, they will fight their way to the mine.

The miners would definitely be happy to join us, so we'll head north into the deeper mountains.

"The Federation has been promoting how well Qin Xiaoyao is doing outside in Falling Moon City, but the reality show broadcast by the garrison shows her as stupid and clumsy, hated by the people of the thirty-nine countries. Could they take this opportunity to vent their anger on Falling Moon City?"

What are you worried about?

"If the federal trial of Qin Xiaoyao shifts the blame for her despicable character onto all the criminals, Luoyue City will definitely suffer." The assistant spat out the chewed leaves and muttered, "The garrison is on high alert. If another large number of troops come, they might take the opportunity to wipe us out."

His words made Zhao Yi fall into deep thought.

The so-called resistance fighters were all criminals, most of them from the lowest rungs of society who had never even received a basic education. As their leader, Zhao Yi had attended university and worked in the military, so he was considered well-informed.

However, his limited knowledge and intelligence prevented him from thinking too far ahead and from coming up with any constructive countermeasures.

All the rebels, including him, only wanted revenge, to avenge their dead relatives, and to kill the garrison and the previous generation of rebels who had been bullying them. Their specific method was to fire a shot and then move to another location, vowing to resist to the death and never accepting reconciliation.

The rebels didn't know where their future lay, nor did Zhao Yi.

He simply gathered a group of persecuted and desperate people into a team, hoping to live a few more days, kill more garrison troops, and seize more guns and ammunition, dreaming that one day the team would grow stronger and overthrow the federal rule to achieve freedom and autonomy for Falling Moon City.

"We can't worry about that now." Zhao Yi frowned and said coldly, "We have to make sure our brothers and sisters survive first. Tell everyone to be patient for a few more days. Once the rotation time is over, we'll move out!"

The fluffy ball squatted on the tree, its brows furrowed, tilting its head and grinning. "That's it? There are only about a hundred people in total. They're eating chaff and wild vegetables and can't even gather enough guns and ammunition. The resistance in Falling Moon City is really too backward. It seems very difficult for the host to lead them to new heights."

It hopped around and circled back to the rebel base.
