They knew that people like Jung Min, who were artificially contrived, were also known as subjects of the Neo- Human Project.

They also know that the Global Committee Senate chose to artificially inseminate such children to increase the population and combat against the constantly decreasing birth rate, but the project was abandoned after an year due to various reasons and almost all information about it was destroyed or cla.s.sified as top secret.

Nonetheless they were informed by a subdivision of the Global Committee Senate that the extraction of sperms and eggs used to contrive children were done without consent and in a very clandestine way; thus, almost no artificially contrived know their biological parents. 

My biological parents? Jung Min exclaimed loudly and kept blinking his eyes, showing his obvious bewilderment.  

"No way," the supervisor thought after seeing the frivolous reaction of Jung Min. Also, he knew that it was quite impossible for an artificially contrived children to find their biological parents.

Moreover, after scrutiny of the contents, he realized that the insides of the gift were filled with powders that seemed like meal replacements. 

He then justified the gift as a gift given by an altruistic (and rich) person who saw Jung Min's bony body and gave food-like substances out of pity. 

Then he began to explain the logistics and other necessary information to Jung Min. 

"Your future residence has been a.s.signed by the Union: your current residence will continue on as your residence for the future. Moreover, though you didn't commit any crimes and are adapting well, you are apt.i.tude-less and have a history of running away from your foster home. Therefore, the Union decided that it won't provide any more support to you. Fortunately, the Global Committee Senate gives $5000 as an adult congratulatory present to all artificially contrived children like you. Use it well."

Jung Min nodded silently. At least he was happy that he gained quite a profit, and was even a bit thankful to the supervisor.

"Also, since your gift is quite heavy, it would be delivered to your residence in the afternoon.  You can receive your $5000 present from GCS at the Department of Finance. They would then send the money into your personal account.  Oh, and by the way, the Department of Finance is in the center of the second floor."

"Thank you!" Jung Min exclaimed. 

"But firstly, we have to insert a biological resident chip inside your body at the Department of Health Services (DHS). As DHS is in a restricted zone, please follow me to pa.s.s the security checkpoints." The supervisory nonchalantly said. 

"Yes!"

Jung Min was thrilled to receive a huge sum of money and an unknown gift. 

'Who in the world would give me a coming-of-age congratulatory gift?' Jung Min wondered. 

But he didn't have time to deeply think about it, as the fat supervisor was already on his way to the first security checkpoint.

Nonetheless, Jung Min felt that his first day of adulthood was quite different than normal.
