Chapter 2 Perseverance and no regrets
The real world is so colorful and colorful.
Beside the stone path in the college, the phoenix tail willow and red leaf maple are swaying under the gentle breeze of the sun.
Among the green bushes under the trees, orange stars and purple tooth orchids compete in the clusters of green branches and green leaves.
And now, as long as he closes his eyes and releases his senses, this beautiful scenery caressed by the breeze is another smart appearance.
The breakthrough in perception opened up a new perspective for him to observe all things, making his mood extremely relaxed. Even the wounds on his body seemed to heal instantly, and the pain was much lessened.
It seems that the pleasure of the body and mind can really make people forget about the physical pain for a while.
Xun Qiu looked at the time displayed on the back of his left wrist [Space Ring Card].
Fourteen:03.
The perceptual assessment begins at 14 p.m. It's only been a few minutes, and it's too late.
This was an important turning point in his life for the eighteen-year-old.
As long as he passes this assessment and confirms that his perception has reached the level of Level 1, he will be considered to have graduated from the Azure Academy's Class A and become a qualified A Master.
Xun Qiu, who was trotting all the way, stepped into the perception assessment hall of the training hall of Azure Academy, and the heat of his whole body was swept away by the air conditioning in the hall, and he was instantly comfortable and cool.
It's only late June. It's unbelievable that it's so hot!
If the sunshine of May just passed, it is still as warm and warm as the soft wattle of a green girl caressing her cheeks. Then, the scorching sun of the past few days is like a man with a scruffy face rubbing his mustache as hard as a steel needle into your face!
It's so piercing!
Call......
Xun Qiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then raised his eyes to look again. It was found that a small part of the students in the tenth class of their first division had already been assessed. There are 10 classes and more than 500 students in this year's Class A, and they will be assessed in batches and items. If it's a few minutes per person, it can take two or three hours.
At this time, dozens of people gathered in groups in the hall, noisy and warm. The three years of studying in the Academy's Class A have finally passed, and now it is the final moment of inspection. Everyone's faces were flushed with excitement.
On the light curtain on a certain wall of the hall, the ranking of this year's perception level has been displayed.
Although he is very reluctant to admit it, Lu Gaoqing seems to be on the list.
It really deserves to be the Lu family, one of the four famous families in Tianqingzhou. Although it is not a genius, at least it can be regarded as the best.
"Level 2...... It's annoying, but it's a bit of strength! ”
Lu Gaoqing, who is the second level of perception, is now the ninth on the list. And the first few people, Xun Qiu didn't know at all, after all, they were in different classes, and he had only been in this world for less than a week.
"Rodric, Level 4...... Si Shanyu, Level 3 ...... Zhao Ruo, Level 3 ...... Obediently, it turns out that there are so many monsters in this year's students! ”
Xun Qiu's face was really wonderful.
The perceptual assessment is only one of the annual qualifications for the completion of the first division. As long as you reach level 1, you are considered to have reached the standard. The perceptual exercise is different from the physical exercise, and it is difficult to improve by practice alone, only learning and understanding in actual combat. Therefore, the first level of the perceptual assessment results of the first division class will account for the vast majority. And now, there are so many second-level, or even third-level and fourth-level characters on the list, how can it not be shocking?
The strength of Azure Academy, in terms of Tianhai Sea, can only barely be regarded as a mid-level class. There are so many talented newcomers like this all at once, and it should not have been a long time since they appeared. It seems that the hospital will definitely focus on cultivating these people, right? The resources and support they could get were unimaginable for a poor boy like Xun Qiu.
That's it!
Why meddle with others?
The order of this assessment is based on the results of previous periods. This is also normal, it was originally a formality, and you can't let the top students wait. Xun Qiu, a famous errand student in the first division class, had nothing to do in the assessment hall, and he was bored, so he found a dark and uninhabited corner and sat down.
The view from this corner is superb. There is almost no one walking around for more than ten meters, and you can still see the progress of the assessment.
Xun Qiu had nothing to do in an instant, his mind was empty, and suddenly, the injuries he had just suffered on his body resurfaced like a tide.
"Hmm...... Let's get some sleep......"
He leaned his back against the wall, his eyes closed, and the relaxed mood evoked his endless sleep. After only a few breaths, he fell into a deep sleep.
……
"Xun Qiu. Xun Qiu! ”
Hazy, Xun Qiu felt that someone was shaking his shoulder. His misty eyes opened slightly. The first thing that catches your eye is a shirt. Printed on the shirt is a pale yellow and almost white mech, whose main weapon is a sniper rifle with an extra-long body. He recognized at a glance that it was his classmate Lotte Yue. I don't know how many pieces of the shirt this kid bought, but I don't see him change it. He turned his gaze upward, and under the wanton shredded hair, there were two deep dimples on a smiling face.
Lotte Yu is almost the only friend of Xun Qiu in the first class. He is broad-minded and optimistic, has a flexible brain, and usually has no special hobbies, but is a little greedy. Therefore, his fairly well-proportioned body and his face, which is still a little angular, are so far from round. As usual, he was holding a loaf of milk bread in his hand, nibbling on it. He, like Xun Qiu, belongs to the last class, so he is not in a hurry. At this time, he saw Xun Qiu alone in the corner, so he came up and said hello.
"Ah...... It's you. Bread? It's very fragrant! Anything else? Xun Qiu's eyes stared directly at the bread in Lotte Yu's hand, and there was a tendency to salivate.
"No ......" Lotte Yu suddenly remembered something, and suddenly stuffed the remaining large pieces of bread into his mouth.
"Look, I'm scared of you! I can still snatch you! Xun Qiu glanced at Lotte Yu with considerable disdain, and then looked towards the other side of the crowd, and the sleepiness came up again.
"It seems that there is still more than an hour before we arrive, let me sleep again......" As he spoke, Xun Qiu's eyelids fought, and his head drooped.
"What are you sleeping! Seeing that you are so calm and relaxed, are you sure that you will pass the test? Lotte asked vaguely, sipping bread.
"Ah, I'm fine...... You still ask me. What's your own situation? Aren't you worried? ”
"Hey, hey!" Lotte Yu smiled weirdly, "I've never been worried. ”
"Then how did you not get through before?" Xun Qiu asked. In their A class, there are only three people who can't pass the perception assessment, including him and Lotte Yu. Although everyone is aiming for Division A, there are always people who fall behind for various reasons.
"I don't want to bother with that. Anyway, I can't count the usual assessments. Lotte Yu sat beside Xun Qiu, looked at the light curtain in the distant hall, and continued in amazement, "I didn't expect that there would be a fourth-level player in this session, it's terrible!" It's horrible! It seems that I am not the only one who usually does not contribute to the assessment! ”
Xun Qiu also followed his gaze and found that the ranking on the list had hardly changed. It's no wonder that guys with potential have already tested it. Now the rest is just a process and a passing result.
"Yes, the pride of the sky is different." Xun Qiu's eyes closed slightly, and he sighed softly.
In his mind, old dreams about "Xun Qiu" and his past flashed one by one like a flash.
"Xun Qiu" is a poor boy among poor boys. Born in Azure Continent, he lived alone at a very young age. His parents are also Master A, but as early as ten years ago, after participating in a certain mission, they never returned. Fortunately, before his parents left, he had asked his old friend Uncle Wupu to take care of him. Otherwise, he would not know what to do when he was young and alone.
After determining that his parents could not return, Uncle Wupu sold his family's old house and used the money to buy a small two-story bungalow for Xun Qiu near his home, so that he could take care of this hard-working child. The rest of the money was used for Xunqiu's living expenses and tuition and miscellaneous expenses. A few years later, his only relative, Uncle Wupu, also passed away from the root of the old injury. Xun Qiu, who was alone again, was barely enough money to enter the first class of Tianqing Academy for further study under the condition of work-study.
As a descendant of two armor divisions, it has always been his dream to become a division of armor. He originally came to Azure Academy with the dream of breaking through the circle of life and entering the new world, but he unexpectedly found that his conditions were extremely poor in all aspects, especially his perception ability was particularly weak. In the past few years in Azure Academy, in addition to working to make money, he spent the rest of his time trying to break through perception. But the reality is too cruel, no matter how solid the other basic courses are, he is like a perceptual insulator, and no matter how hard he tries, he will not be effective.
And what is even more desperate is that as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he didn't know where he offended Lu Gaoqing, the son of a gentleman. In three years, he has barely had a day of peace.
The final assessment was approaching, and "Xun Qiu" returned to his home in order to avoid the harassment of Lu Gaoqing's gang, and made a futile perceptual breakthrough. After another failure, he finally couldn't bear the grievances he had suffered for so many years, and roared to the sky with tears and hoarseness:
"Oh my God! Why are you so unfair?! To humiliate me like this?! ”
"If I had a different life, I would definitely not be so aggrieved!"
At this moment, a strange and extraordinary thing suddenly happened.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a dreamlike maze. Before his eyes, several lines of text appeared out of thin air.
Through the prompt of the text, after a moment of walking in that dazzling iridescent light, a black figure appeared in front of his eyes. The figure seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, and it was impossible to see clearly. It's just that he's similar in shape, lean and tall.
He and the figure seemed to have a heart, approaching each other, and passing by in tacit understanding. "Xun Qiu" went to the unknown that belonged to him. And that figure, which is now Xunqiu, has walked towards the world of "Xunqiu".
In Xun Qiu's own original world, he was originally called by this name. Perhaps because of this, he was connected with the "Xunqiu" of this world and exchanged lives.
The trajectory of his own life is like a speck of dust in the sea of people.
In addition to the same name, he and "Xun Qiu" have the same name, and their life experiences are also quite similar. Both are poor children living on the verge of hardship. Moreover, compared to "Xun Qiu", in fact, his life is much more miserable.
His world is a wasteland world. The first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to think about how to get the food he has today.
He still vividly remembers that day.
That was a week ago.
In order to find herbs for his companion Guo Yi, he ventured out of the bunker at night and entered an unknown valley. Although the information he obtained was vaguely unremarkable, it was the only hope he and Guo Yi had. Guo Yi's injury is not optimistic, and he has no time to wait until dawn.
He can ignore anyone, but Guo Yi must be saved! Because they are brothers in life and death who grew up together!
However, the moment he stepped into the depths of the valley, he knew that today was a doom.
It was a large pack of calf-sized electro-clawed wolves. As long as it is gently scratched by their claws, even the smallest wound will open the skin and flesh under the action of the electric current, and the bleeding will not stop.
He's really too anxious!
Walking outside the bunker with the most experience, Xun Qiu actually made such a stupid and low-level mistake and rashly rushed into the territory of the wolves.
There are only one or two electric claw wolves, and if he has a blade in hand, he can also maneuver around with good physical fitness and rich combat experience.
But dozens? There was no hope for him.
He turned and ran. But how is it possible for a man to outrun a wolf? What's more, it's a mutated electric claw wolf? His body was quickly drawn by the wolf's claws, and his flesh was blurred.
In a panic, he was finally forced to the edge of the cliff by the wolves.
He looked up to the sky and smiled, and then burst into tears, crying to the sky about the difficulty of fate.
Although the boy has tears, he will not give in.
Rather become a pile of bones, not wolf food.
Yes!
A desperate roar echoed through the valley and quickly faded into the distance.
He glanced back at a large group of silver-gray wolves behind him, his eyes flashed with a complex emotion of determination and despair, and jumped off the cliff.
At the moment when he floated in mid-air and didn't fall to the bottom of the cliff, [Baixuan] came to the door.
Three lines of words appeared in front of his eyes:
[Select Task 00.] 】
[Option 1: Broken fate, life rebuilt.] 】
[Option 2: Accept the mastery and close your eyes to death.] 】
The short moment from the cliff to the bottom of the cliff was not the time for him to think about it at all.
The chance to survive is in front of him, how can he give up easily? He didn't hesitate to choose option one.
After that, he entered the path of light that he met with "Xun Qiu". Then, he replaced "Xun Qiu" and came to this world.
When he opened his eyes in this new world, the joy of that moment really cannot be described in words.
After reading "Xun Qiu's" memories of this world, he had two words in his heart:
That's it?
What a small scene!
Although the situation of "Xun Qiu" is unsatisfactory, compared to him, it is simply a small thing.
He is not worried about his living situation at all, he can't become a master, and there are many ways to live well.
The only thing he was worried about was that without the herbs he brought back, Guo Yi would be more than lucky. And "Xun Qiu", who went to the wasteland world instead of him, is also a life of nine deaths.
Fate really loves to joke. This mysterious force saved him, but indirectly sent away two lives.
However, no matter how embarrassed he was, it would be useless.
Exchange lives, but you can't do it again.
Whether it is him or "Xun Qiu", the choices he makes have to be borne by himself.
Xun Qiu, who had settled down, first looked at his appearance through the mirror. He found that "Xun Qiu" had almost nothing in common except that he was eighteen years old like him, and he was originally the same as him. "Xun Qiu"'s face looks very ordinary, barely enough for thick eyebrows and big eyes, far less delicate and elegant than his original knife and axe. His physical condition is not at all on the same level as the physique he has fought out in the harsh living conditions. is almost the same as the life trajectory of "Xun Qiu", unremarkable. But these things don't matter to him anymore. As long as it is up to the level of ordinary people, he will be satisfied.
Through the memories of "Xun Qiu", he quickly became familiar with this unknown world. The wasteland world he was born in, although the technological inheritance has almost fallen, before it became a wasteland world, the level of technology here is not much different. So it's not very difficult for him to get acquainted. And when he learned that there were still mecha and armor masters in this world, his heart was completely ignited.
He fully understands the expectations of "Xunqiu". Master A is not only one of the most attractive professions in the world, but even he, a person who has just appeared in this world, immediately longs for Master A.
His eyes began to glow. He couldn't help but think of the bright future of driving the mecha to the sky.
A huge figure slowly flashed. The armor of the whole body is as bright as a mirror, the flames of the engine are sprayed out with a moving rhythm, and the various weapons of the whole body are spread out like peacocks opening the screen, calming all directions. A pillar of cyan light shot out, turning everything in sight into ashes......
For him, the life after the exchange is really gone, and the future can be expected.
As the first sentence of "Xun Qiu", it is said to that mysterious force:
"What do you call it?"
[Hundred choices. 】
"Why save me?"
[If I don't save you, you save yourself.] 】
"......" Xun Qiu fell into deep thought, unable to figure out how he saved himself. But this question is no longer important.
"How can I reinvent my life and shatter my fate? How can you help me? ”
[Indomitable, no regrets. 】
Immediately after, a long paragraph of text appeared in front of Xun Qiu's eyes, which was the selection task mechanism of Baixuan.
"It turns out that 'hundred choices' refers to perseverance and no regrets. It means that no matter how many setbacks you receive, you can be resolute and resolute in the face of any choice, and you have no regrets. Once chosen, the opportunity is not to be missed, and the loss will not come again. Xun Qiu muttered to himself, "Understood!" I'll make the most of every choice! ”
After spending a few minutes familiarizing himself with Bai Xue, his mind was racing, his eyes skyrocketed, and he couldn't wait to leave "Xun Qiu's" home, return to the academy area, rush to Lu Gaoqing, and start his grand plan to trigger the selection task......
