Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

The old man from the Jin family is quite a rigid fellow. You can tell because as soon as he discovered the difference with the medal, he immediately came rushing over. However, this time it was just his lack of worldly experience shining through. After all, the outstanding service medals awarded by Sage Yu and Sage Qian usually went to craftsmen — those who served the military and made outstanding contributions to the upgrading and replacement of military weaponry would receive this medal.

This time, it was because Jin Weili did not have a formal military rank and was acknowledged by the sages for his contributions to knowledge transmission (which significantly reduced soldier casualties). Sage Lin, who was in charge of the teachers, and sages Sima and Zhao, who were responsible for military merits, thought they were not suitable for this task. Ultimately, Sage Yu stepped forward and, along with Sage Qian, awarded Jin Weili a medal. The rough men of the Jin family probably never received a medal from their branch of sages since the founding of their family line.

Thus, after comparing over thirty family heirloom outstanding service medals, the old man from the Jin family despairingly realized that his grandson had gone astray.

The rest of the story is known to everyone.

Malin left this matter to Sage Yu to handle. Out of a sense of apology for having beaten the old man’s face swollen, Malin gave a set of healing potions — not to him, of course, but handed them personally to Jin Weili, saying it was a good idea to have some life-saving means on the front lines of battle with Wraiths and remnant Chaos forces every day.

The old man from the Jin family was also very happy— Jin Weili had transformed from an unruly brat into a sensible good grandson, such a big change that the old man couldn’t even react. For him, who was no longer fighting on the front lines, spending his days guarding the old home with his two wives, waiting for the sons and grandsons in the military to return on holiday, this vigil inspired Malin’s respect.

......

The next day, Malin left Tianjin, aiming for the ecological preservation pods and an unfallen segment of the star ring at the top of the North American sky — something detected by newly launched satellites. Both Bixiu and Sostak No.3 suggested Malin should go for a look, as there seemed to be an energy reaction on the ecological preservation pods.

Malin could now walk in outer space without anything, but considering there might be living people in the preservation pods, Malin donned his spacesuit to avoid driving them insane. Then he boarded the manned spacecraft with Sostak No.3 — much more expensive than a single-use launch rocket, but capable of docking directly with the ecological preservation pods, sparing Malin and Sostak No.3 the need to drift over using a small thruster.

There might still be people in those preservation pods.

As the spacecraft launched, Malin suddenly thought of going to the Moon. This game tells the story of a man who lost his memory due to a childhood accident but stubbornly remembered the promise made with a girl during his childhood, even at the end of his life.
