Chapter 1440: Chapter 1440: Young A Ke
Yangjiao Star.The wind was calm and the sun shone brightly.
A Ke, dressed in a faded protective suit, was a boy who had just turned 15. He had short black hair, a very delicate appearance, and extremely fair skin, but there was a deep scar on his face, which gave his delicate looks an added touch of ferocity. However, A Ke was a very gentle boy and only showed his fierceness when facing the Star Beasts, taking up arms to reveal all his ferocity.
Today was the weekend. As an orphan, A Ke needed to bear his own living expenses. Normally, he had to attend classes; the Alliance implemented 12 years of compulsory education, so before university, he didn’t need to pay tuition. Moreover, the Alliance provided orphans aged 15 and above with a basic living allowance of 500 credit points, but this basic allowance was terminated once they turned 15. Therefore, A Ke had to start earning money by himself now.
The weekends were a time he couldn’t afford to miss for making money.
Originally living on garbage planet No. 381, the environment there had worsened, and Star Beasts appeared frequently, making it too dangerous for human habitation. The Administrator of garbage planet No. 381 applied to the Alliance for relocation, so the Alliance moved all the residents of garbage planet No. 381 to a nearby planet.
A Ke thus received a resettlement house, providing a place to call home. He liked this resettlement house very much. Although it was very small and couldn’t compare to the wide yet unsafe house he had on garbage planet No. 381, it provided A Ke with a rare sense of security.
Early in the morning, after cleaning and tidying up the house, A Ke dressed neatly and stepped out of his resettlement house, joining his neighbor Granny in carrying backpacks. They spent 20 credit points to embark on a journey to garbage planet No. 381. The reason for going here was that although the environment on garbage planet No. 381 had deteriorated significantly, it still held several commonly used and fairly priced material resources.
As long as they gathered enough, they could basically earn 300 to 400 credit points per trip. A Ke saved this money carefully, which could cover his living expenses for half a month, making it quite a profitable venture.
Moreover, garbage planet No. 381 was very close to the planet he now lived on, taking just 3 hours for a round trip. This meant he could go today, return tomorrow afternoon, and still make it back in time for his class the day after.
