"If you are referring to my biological father, then Taofant cannot be said to be." David looked at the vomiting man across the square with a complicated tone, "But I would rather my father be him, because he is the one who gave birth to me." That man is a complete villain! Irresponsible bastard!"
David turned to look at Gu Hanhan: "You've seen that person before, it's that person, the portrait you dug out from my mother's living room."
"Although that man did provide me with a sperm in my life," David's tone suddenly turned hateful and angry at this time, "but I would rather he had provided nothing, and I would rather he had never been in my mother's life. Appear!"
"David..." Gu Hanhan held his hand.
David shook his head, his tone became calmer, and he began to talk about his own life and that of his biological mother Elizabeth——
"My mother used to be a ranger. When she was born, she was very ordinary and came from a family that had nothing to do with the world of superpowers. It wasn't until she was fourteen years old that she awakened to superpowers due to a very accidental accident. And potential assessment The result is very good, she has at least the potential of the intermediate level, and maybe can reach the advanced level..."
"So, the next year, my mother left her home planet alone and began wandering in the universe. Various expedition teams, trading black ships, mercenaries, loners and even space pirates. What she did There are so many industries and the universe is so vast that the ranger's adventures can go all the way to the end of the universe and never end. During those adventurous years, she honed her abilities, tempered her soul, and understood the universe. When she was seventeen, she finally broke through the low-level barriers. Suffocate."
"Including the year in her hometown, it took her three years from discovering her potential to breaking through the low-level suffocation. However, it does not even take three months for the great nobles of the Acropolis to let any of their descendants with the lowest potential escape from the low-level suffocation. Even if the potential limit before the high-level barrier is fully tapped, it will only take fifteen years at most. But the breakthroughs and levels obtained by taking drugs are just child's play compared with the breakthroughs and levels of the ranger, and they are not the same at all."
"My mother broke through the intermediate barrier at the age of twenty-two and the advanced barrier at the age of thirty-five. Then when she was thirty-eight, she suddenly got tired of this endless wandering life and wanted to find a decent job. Settle down. The universe may have no end, but the human soul cannot always have no refuge, just like a wandering seed that will eventually take root."
"The only real and respectable jobs that high-level superpowers can find are marrying a superpower noble, becoming a vassal of a big noble, finding a position in associations and various independent institutions, joining a secular country or simply establishing a Her own family. She doesn’t want to get married yet, and she’s not very interested in titles in the secular world or positions in the palace and the army, and she’s even less willing to give up her freedom and bend her knees to become someone’s vassal just for a little bit of dispensable protection.”
"As for building her own family, for a female high-level superpower who doesn't even have a child of her own, and most likely never will. If she wants to have one, she has to rely on herself to give birth, that's really too illusory. . And even for male high-level rangers, it is equally elusive to establish a family. They do not have to give birth to offspring except for offspring. It is a long-term struggle. A family that is less than 500 years old can only be considered a nouveau riche in the Acropolis. , and those under three hundred years old are not even considered to be nouveau riche. Becoming a vassal is the inevitable fate of all newly established families. Sooner or later, they will spend the difficult years at the beginning of the family's establishment under the protection of the family, and slowly accumulate strength until Be strong. Only when you bend your knees can you have a family, but if you refuse to bow your head, you will have nothing."
"So my mother was planning to find a position in the Super Power Association. She sold off all the wealth she had gained from adventures over the years, packed them up, bought a ticket to the Lighthouse Star at the jump point and boarded the ship. That's it. On this ship, my mother met that bastard!”
"He is also a ranger who came to Aurora Star for adventure. He is only in his twenties, almost half the age of my mother, but he is already an advanced superpower. I must admit that all the glamorous aspects of the ranger are concentrated on him. Young, handsome, bohemian, and endlessly charming—bastards always have this kind of charm. It takes two months to go from Aurora to Lighthouse. The long and boring journey is a breeding ground for mistakes. In short, they fell in love—no , it should be said that my mother fell in love with him, and he is just a scum in the world of games!"
"The two-month journey took them twice as long, and they didn't arrive at Beacon Star until the spring of the next year. They lived in the villa my mother bought in Torini, and their love was like a fire. My mother enjoyed it very much. I want to live together, so I am eager to find a job in the association so that I can stabilize as soon as possible.”
"This is not difficult. The Superpower Association will always welcome advanced superpowers without Acropolis background. The more the merrier. My mother quickly got a position as a senior security inspector at the Association's Research Center. This is a newly added position. , because no one will go to the place where theoretical research is done to cause trouble, and the top person in charge of the security department is only level five. But this position was not placed because of my mother, but because of Mr. Crassus."
"More than twenty years ago, Mr. Crassus was still an ordinary researcher at the research center, and Mr. Lin was still a student in his laboratory. At that time, Mr. Crassus just published a paper on part of his energy theory system, which received overwhelming criticism. Questions and objections, abuses and insults were everywhere. Even when he hid in the laboratory, someone would smash rotten eggs on the glass. There were many nobles from the superpower world who did this. Although they would not kill people and set fires, they would send some middle- and low-level policemen. There is no problem for Wei Tiantian to come and cause trouble. The order of the research center is extremely chaotic as a result, and the researchers are complaining. It is not worth going to war over such a thing. The association urgently needs a senior combat inspector to deter Xiao Xiao and maintain law and order. That bastard used to know Mr. Lin. , so I introduced this location to my mother.”
"More than a month later, Crassus decided to accept the funding from Princess Ogra at the time and go to the Shaking Star to establish his own laboratory. My mother's position was also transferred to the archives, which was a very leisurely job. Then one night, he told My mother went on a date, took a river cruise to see the night view of the Moro River, and had dinner at a cafe by the river. On the way home, he passed by a jewelry store and he went in and bought a mithril ring, and engraved the following words on it with his own hands: When my mother met, he gave it to her solemnly. My mother was very happy, as full of joy for the future as a swallow building a nest in mud, thinking he was proposing. But when she woke up the next day, the bastard was gone. "
The mithril ring is now held in David's hand, the light is shining, and the words engraved on it are clearly "3088 Aurora Star~Golden Gate Winter Flower Chapter". Golden Castle The words on the ring given to his mother by Su Yu's father struck like lightning in Gu Hanhan's mind - "3989 New Seattle ~ Pizarro's Midsummer Night's Dream". Identical rings, almost identical engravings.
"So your father -" Gu Hanhan suddenly jumped down from his chair, and the second half of the sentence "He is the same person as Su Daqian's father" almost blurted out, but luckily he stopped in time. She asked with a trembling voice: "Did your mother find him later? Do you know who he is?"
"My mother looked for him, but there was no news. There was no record even on the entry and exit registration of Lighthouse Star. This proves that even the name he told my mother was false."
"What about Mr. Lin? Isn't he your father's friend?" Gu Hanhan asked hurriedly, "Didn't he say anything?"
"I don't know. I don't know if my mother asked him or what he told my mother. At that time, he had already left the lighthouse star with Crassus." David said, "When I was five years old, I wanted to know , but by the time I see Mr. Lin again this fall, I no longer want to ask."
"In short, he never appeared in my mother's life again. Like all rangers without real names, he completely disappeared into the vast universe." David's expression was full of sarcasm: "Two months later, My mom found out she was pregnant.”
"Ah!" Gu Hanhan was surprised and then felt that he was too surprised. Isn't it normal for an unmarried child to be a single mother? So she comforted David and said, "Don't worry too much. You don't necessarily need a man to raise children."
David shook his head slightly: "That's not the case, Hanhan, you still don't understand what pregnancy and childbirth mean to female superpowers, especially advanced female superpowers. The energy balance between the fetus and the mother's body will determine the entire pregnancy and birth." The process of childbirth has turned into a Russian-style gamble. There is a chance of a safe delivery, and the more advanced the person, the smaller the chance. The probability of a person with advanced superpowers dying directly during childbirth is one in five, and even if they are lucky enough not to. The chance of death, resulting in energy degradation or even collapse is also close to half. That is a cruel gamble of life."
Gu Hanhan covered her mouth in shock: "Your mother—"
"She is simply crazy. She plans to give birth to me." David showed a painful expression and buried his face in Gu Hanhan's hand. "I don't know whether she was fainted by the strong maternal feeling caused by pregnancy hormones. Head or something else, she has been naively thinking that the bastard has met an enemy or has been unable to escape, and she actually wants that child and gave birth to it as the result of an irresponsible mistake."
Gu Hanhan felt David's tears flow into her palms. She knew he was sad, and she felt sad for him too.
After a while, David left Gu Hanhan's hand. He continued: "Because she couldn't find that bastard, my mother decided to get married. She firmly believed that nothing would happen, but she had to prepare for possible accidents during childbirth. If she died and the child survived, the child would need a child. Reliable guardians. And according to parenting books, intact families are better for children's development."
"At that time, my mother actually had a potential marriage partner. He was a decent middle-class noble in the Border Star Territory, whom she met during an adventure. This family was very happy to facilitate this marriage, and they welcomed her. They hoped to get married as soon as possible, preferably within three months of pregnancy. But when negotiating for marriage, they put forward a condition that required my mother to have at least one more pregnancy with her husband after giving birth. , unless my potential is confirmed to be impeccable."
"In the end, my mother did not choose this nobleman, but chose my father. He is the owner of an outdoor cafe on the bank of the Moro River. Every time my mother goes to her shop, he has to come out to order food in person and ignores her. Whatever I order, he always gives me a bowl of chicken porridge as a special treat for pregnant women.”
