Chapter 1: A New Era
"Got ............"
The cicadas in the trees are constantly chirping, and the cries are harsh and drowsy, or irritable.
The yellow dog at the door shrank in the shadow of the eaves, his tongue stretched out, his body undulated, and the shouting and scolding from inside the door were incessant.
"Damn the weather, it's going to heat up labor and management......"
"This kid is a hard bone, let's go, boss, it seems that I can't pry his mouth open today......"
"Clang............" There was a sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground.
"Count you kid unlucky, learn from other people's heroes to save beauty? What do you think you are, and Brother Liang is also something you can afford to offend? ”
There was another burst of punches and kicks, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man made a gesture of "......"
A mouthful of saliva spat on the man who was beaten.
The yellow-haired young man next to him laughed and said, "Forget it, boss, Brother Liang still has to entertain a few of our brothers tonight, it's not good to go to his old man's house late, don't be like this kid." At the same time, he secretly glanced at the man who fell to the ground, this man's body was too weak, and he was afraid that he would kill someone.
。
The chubby man seemed to remember something terrible, and he trembled with fright.
In the past, there was also a brother who helped Brother Liang with errands, and when Brother Liang entertained him, he went late, and there was no news about the latter person, including his family, as if the world had evaporated.
"Right...... Yes, we can't keep him waiting. Brothers, Haiyanlou walked up, that kid counted your fortune today, remember what kind of goods he is in the future, don't die, today is just a small lesson, next time, hum ...... "In a commotion, a few people walked away.
It was only after half a bang that the man who had been beaten noticed that the people around him were leaving, and when he looked around, he saw that things around him had been pushed or broken.
However, there was no trace of anger in his eyes, only something called helplessness.
This man's name is Lin Song, and he is an ordinary old citizen of the new era.
The new era is the era of redividing forces in 2080 after a world nuclear energy leak!
Because of the nuclear leaks, many areas can no longer be inhabited, and there have been major coups around the world.
However, due to changes in the earth's crust, some continents that had previously sunk to the bottom of the ocean have resurfaced, and the spheres of influence of almost all countries have changed.
But the development of new energy has become the theme of the new era.
The Azure Sphere has completed a new breakthrough, and the exploration of the universe has made great progress, and it has initially integrated with extraterrestrial civilizations.
And the great changes in the new era have led to the rise of the capable and the downgrading of the incapable.
Of course, this division of abilities is not the ability of ordinary workers, peasants and businessmen, but superpowers or martial arts, and the strength of ability determines the social status of most people.
Later, after 200 years of development, the new era has become more and more cruel, once you become a citizen, then congratulations, money and status are not a dream, and even you can make an old citizen disappear at a certain price, which leads to the danger of everyone in this society, and there is a gap between people.
However, fortunately, the main object of physiognomy in the new era is to explore the starry universe and collect and excavate energy mines, and the progress is not bad, so there are not too many disputes, and the whole era is in a vibrant and upward development.
Regarding the cause of Lin Song's beating, dog blood, yes, dog blood.
A drunk man is about to hug a woman in the street.
However, the pedestrians around them were numb, not even onlookers, because they knew that they could not afford to offend this drunk man with a metal armband.
However, I don't know which brain twitched, Lin Song was enthusiastic, strode forward, pushed the drunk, and pulled the woman away.
Pretending to be forced has a price, and the current world always comes so quickly. He is not qualified to complain about other people's revenge on himself, because he is just an old citizen, even if he occupies the high platform of justice, but the opponent is a quasi-upper citizen.
The hierarchy of the people is very strict, according to the announcement information, the old people awaken their ability and accumulate a certain amount of energy in their bodies to pass the assessment, and they are quasi-Shangmin, and wearing a starless armband is a sign of quasi-Shangmin.
If the quasi-Shangmin ability breaks through to the first level of super energy or the first level of martial arts, then it is a one-star Shangmin, and the armband is +1 star.
The more powerful the people, the closer they lived to the capital, the more energetic they were, and the more conducive they were to breaking through to the higher classes.
However, the marginal cities often have only 1-2 one-star citizens, and the number of quasi-residents will not exceed 5.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Lin Song was beaten by others, you must know that there are many people who are willing to be cattle and horses for these Shangmin or even quasi-Shangmin, because they can enjoy the pleasure of some contempt for the power of ordinary people.
After a simple washing and bandaging, Lin Song looked in the mirror, and it was okay, but the green bag in the corner of his eye was not easy to explain, and the others could still be fooled.
With a long sigh of relief, he cleaned up the house again and prepared dinner. Because his naughty sister is coming back, this will be discovered, and I don't know how long he will be nagged at that time.
He would rather endure hardships and hardships himself, but also provide for his sister to go to the ability cultivation school, and he has a luxury in his heart, in case his sister becomes a capable person, he can also hug his thighs.
It didn't take long for dinner to be ready, a few home-cooked dishes - stir-fried cabbage, sauerkraut vermicelli, 2 fried eggs and a pot of gruel.
It's very simple, because my parents went to mine energy mines in their early years, but they accidentally disappeared when they encountered an energy tide (official statement).
Lin Song's brother and sister have been dependent on each other for a long time, and the younger sister is no longer just a family member for Lin Song, perhaps it is a glimmer of hope in his numbness and despair.
For so many years, he has gone to dig mines, sell garbage, repair locomotives, and 2 years ago, because Master Zhang and his family moved to repair the equipment next door, he gave him the storefront, and the brother and sister had the foundation to settle down.
Originally, Lin Song had some foundation for repair, and he was familiar with it and knew more, and many people also came to patronize the business.
However, the good times did not last long, and Ma Datou and his group set their eyes on the oil and water inside, and they also opened a shop themselves.
Relying on the distant relatives of the quasi-Shangmin to threaten Lin Song's customers, the business was abandoned after a long time, which is equivalent to saying that now Lin Song's brothers and sisters are eating their old books.
"Alas......" With a long sigh, Lin Song leaned on the bedside and thought about how to find a new source of wealth.
I don't care, I have a bad life, but my sister is still in school and growing up, and the expenses in the future will not be small, with anxiety, Lin Song fell into a deep sleep unconsciously......
I saw that something magical happened, one, two points of light frolicking around it like naughty elves, and the number of them became more and more...... Until the end, countless points of light converged around Lin Song, passing through his body, either quickly or slowly, but none of them chose to stay in his body.
And he himself was not unconscious, in his sleep, Lin Song felt that he was soaking in a huge hot spring, warm, and the bruises accumulated in his body due to the injury were gradually dredged.
The fatigue of the day passed away quietly, and gradually, Lin Song's brows widened slightly.
It's not that he didn't think that he might have some natural ability, and the results of the test were tantamount to a slap in the face.
Other old people have too many impurities in their bodies, which affect the absorption of energy, so they can't become masters.
The difference is that his body has no impurities, and it stands to reason that it should be very awesome, but it is a funnel, both ends are connected, and the energy is in and out as much as it wants, and the testers are amazed and regretful.
If you make a comprehensive analogy, most people's energy channel is hair, some people are water pipes, a small number of people are bamboo tubes, a very small number of people are buckets, and he is a bottomless water tank.
But the terrible thing is another point, even if the other old people affect the absorption, the body will more or less have energy accumulation, so as to obtain the corresponding physical fitness improvement, but Lin Song is different, he does not have a little energy accumulation, which also means that he is weaker than the average person, which is one of the factors of Lin Song's low-key, after all, no one can beat it.
According to the general strength grading test, the strength in Lin Song's body is 5, most of the life-saving power is 7-10, the quasi-Shangmin is 15-20, and the one-star Shangmin is more than 20. A prospective master can easily hang and smoke 10 forest pines.
The level of power further up is not clear, after all, no one has seen it, and there are very few news about the people that circulate outside, except for some lace gossip, which basically disappears, as if they have entered another dimension.
"Dada...... Brother, I'm back!! Lin Lin, who returned home, completely let herself go, no longer had to pretend to be a good baby, kicked her slippers, and the first thing she did was to rush to the kitchen.
With anticipation, he lifted the lid of the pot buckled on the bowl, and then looked "oops...... Why is this like this, I really want to eat meat!! ”
With a little dissatisfaction, she tiptoed close to Lin Song's bedroom, and found that the other party was still sleeping on the bed, and climbed into bed as soon as the slippers were kicked.
Probably because he was too tired, Lin Song didn't notice anything unusual, and he didn't look like he wanted to wake up at all.
This made her sister even more dissatisfied, sitting on Lin Song's lap and shaking "Brother...... Get up...... It's time to eat! ”
With the shaking, Lin Song's dream suddenly changed, his legs were pressed by the stones, and he couldn't get out, but there were still traces of lucidity. Lin Lin's eyes rolled and she changed her mind, "Sister Xiaoman, come and help, my brother is still sleeping......"
I wipe the column??? Lin woke up directly in seconds, "Manman ......"
Then I found out that something was wrong, when my sister snickered, Lin Song didn't have any embarrassment at all, and drove away as if nothing happened: "Eh, I'm back, go and go, how old are you and still so clingy, get out of the way, I'll get up in my pants." ”
Lin Lin looked victorious, pacing the kitchen with duck steps, and someone wiped his forehead, but fortunately he didn't sweat, and he almost showed his stuffing.
This Manman's name is Zhang Xiaoman, a female driver who came to repair the locomotive before, she is a good person, and she often brings Lin Lin delicious food.
It's too much to say that the beauty is like jade, it's the kind of facial features that are not very special, and the kind that is more durable.
The body is because of running outside for a long time.,It's bumpy.,The chest is particularly big.,I guess there's F...... Ahem, Lin Song's young man is at a time of vigorous energy, and his blood is strong, if he wants to say that he has no idea, he is lying to himself.
Anyway, it's the type that Lin Song particularly likes, but unfortunately he rarely came after the Ma Datou incident.
The last time I came was not to comfort, but to say goodbye, I heard that there was an elder brother in her family who had been tested to become a quasi-citizen, and the family moved to the mainland to live a good life, and then there was no news.
At the dinner table, Lin Song was afraid that his sister would see something, so he kept lowering his head to drink porridge, but Lin Lin kept staring at him, and he saw that he was furious, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing, do you have flowers on my face?" If you don't eat, I won't help you deal with it when it gets cold for a while. ”
"Brother...... Do you have something to hide from me" Lin Lin's eyes lit up, Lin Song sighed secretly that he couldn't avoid it, and said with some hesitation: "...... You've found out, huh? ”
"Haha, I know, brother, brother tell you how your skin has become so good, more tender than me, I didn't pay attention to it before, and you almost escaped!"
Angstrom? It doesn't seem to be the same thing, Lin Song was overjoyed, but he still said with a straight face, "What are you talking nonsense, it is estimated that you are sweating, and your blood is up, eat it quickly." ”
Lin Lin let out an "oh" in disbelief. Although the meal was not rich, the two of them ate very warmly and happily.
After the meal, Lin Song leaned on the bed and browsed the online information on the tablet, but there was not much use, and the real means of making money were held by Shangmin.
Lin Song was unwilling, and refreshed back and forth, the most was spam information and the promotion of a game called "Mandate of Heaven".
Living a precarious life, where is there any qualification for entertainment, Lin Song has no idea of watching that game at all, and is still panning for gold in spam information.
After Lin Lin finished washing the dishes, she sat quietly beside Lin Song, her two hands stirred in the corners of her clothes, and the expression of wanting to speak several times fell into Lin Song's eyes, Lin Song was very calm in his heart, "Say it!" How much? ”
As soon as her eyes opened, her heart was pantothenic, and tears came out of her eyes, "Brother...... Me, I don't want to go to school anymore! ”
Lin Song felt very sorry for Lin Lin, the two of them had been dependent on each other for more than 10 years, and he didn't know his sister's thoughts, but he wouldn't give in on this matter, "What are you talking about, how much?" ”
The younger sister lowered her head, her voice choked and trembled," the mentor said...... Now, I'm okay with this kind of physique...... Drugs are needed to open up the veins and drain ...... Discharge impurities, insist on ten months can save enough energy for the quasi-Shangmin, and the one-month dose needs to be ...... 2000 info points needed! ”
This news, which was ecstatic for others, was overwhelming for Lin Song.
You must know that the consumption of ordinary people eating three meals a day is 10 credits, and it is also the kind that eats meat, for the brother and sister, 10 credits can be used for 3 days, and saving a little can be used for 4 days!
Indeed, in this conversion, 2W information points are not much for becoming a quasi-citizen, it is really not much.
"Brother...... I really don't want to, I don't want to see you work so hard anymore, I know we shouldn't have much money, or forget it" Lin Lin sobbed in Lin Song's arms.
Lin Song patted his sister on the shoulder and comforted, "Who said we don't have money, it's a big deal......"
Her tear-stained face lifted, she was a little surprised, and asked a little hesitantly, "Is my brother going to ...... the store?"
Lin Song interrupted Lin Lin's words, afraid that she would affect her decision: "Okay, I'll worry about money, study hard, and when you become a citizen, these are all small money, and then you will come back with a breath." ”
She burst into tears and laughed, slapping Lin Song, "I hate it...... He teased me again, and without further ado, I went to wash up and go to sleep. ”
Although he coaxed his sister away, Lin Song's heart was not half relaxed, and the following days were too difficult.
