"Human civilization is like a rolling flywheel, entering an era of rapid development...... Humans have spent thousands of years conquering the sky, but on this day, the sky has once again become a forbidden area for the gods......"

On the podium, Lao Wang read aloud.

Irin yawned and turned her head to look out the window.

In that direction, far, far away, there is a tower that towers into the sky and has no end in sight.

"Irin!"

With the teacher's roar, a short electronic pen slammed into Irin's head with great precision.

"Ouch!"

The force of the electronic pen smashed Irin's head into a red packet.

Wang Fenbi, male, 40 years old, unmarried, withdrawn, irritable, small-bellied, said to have a "spiritual" attribute as high as 3.2, and a throwing accuracy of up to 93%.

"Irin, stand up!"

Hearing this, Yi Rin rubbed his smashed red head, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he stood up slowly.

"Irin, you answer this question! Humans have conquered the sky for thousands of years, but on this day, the sky has once again become a forbidden area for the gods...... What exactly is this day referring to? ”

Irin sighed.

Then he looked into the distant sky, the giant gray tower that towered into the sky.

"I don't understand, do you? If you don't understand......"

When the old Wang on the podium saw Yi Rin's reaction, he just straightened his face and wanted to reprimand, but he didn't expect Yi Rin to say the answer leisurely.

"Tower Age 2111 November 11 ......"

Lao Wang's expression was cold, and he silently pinched another piece of electronic pen.

"I think Mr. Wang will definitely not be satisfied with this answer that the whole world knows."

Yi Rin's voice changed, and the electronic pen that Lao Wang just wanted to throw out was forcibly taken back.

Yi Rin smiled slightly and continued: "On November 11, 2111 AD, four giant towers appeared on the earth out of thin air, and in our country alone, more than 200 million people in Jiaoyan Province, Chu'an Province, and Xizhou Province where the giant towers appeared evaporated out of thin air......

"At 23:00 that night, 3,422 artificial satellites in outer space fell towards the Earth at the same time, triggering the most 'spectacular' meteor shower in human history...... This night is known in history as the 'Starfall Night'. It was on this day that mankind completely lost air supremacy. ”

"And from November 11, 2111 A.D., this day is also known as the Tower Era."

"But considering the source of this original sentence, it comes from the paper "To the Sky That Mankind Will Eventually Lose" published in the journal "Creation" on June 4, 2114, which confirmed the real existence of the 'forbidden zone' above 3,000 meters through various data and experiments."

"So the answer that Mr. Wang wants should be June 4, 2114 AD."

With that, Irin looked at the old king calmly.

Lao Wang's eyes widened, he never thought that the student who usually made such a noise and seemed to be honest would study "tower science" so well...... Thorough.

"Mr. Wang, can I sit down?"

"Ahem!" Lao Wang coughed twice to hide the embarrassment in his heart, he looked upright, and applauded: "Yi Rin is serious and studious, and he has studied the history of tower studies thoroughly, and it is worth learning from Yi Rin!" Irin-san, sit down. ”

"Thank you, teacher."

Irin calmly sat back in his seat.

This small episode did not interrupt Lao Wang's enthusiasm for class, he pressed the button to clear the content on the screen, and wrote again with an electronic pen.

"This day is the greatest disaster in the history of mankind, but at the same time, it is also the beginning of a new civilization for mankind......"

Irin's gaze involuntarily drifted out of the window again, as if staring at the giant gray tower through endless time and space.

It's so ...... Out of reach.

……

After class, Irin packed up his textbooks and prepared to leave.

A tall figure walked up to Irin.

Yi Rin raised his head and looked at it, with a bright smile on his face: "Brother Yang, it's you, what's the matter?" ”

As she spoke, Irin silently read the latter's name three times in her mind.

Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang.

"Hehehe, Xiao Rin, you don't want to study in Kaota in the future, right?" Xiao Yang condescendingly put his arm on Irin's shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Yes...... Yi Rin put the book in his hand into his bag, and then smiled helplessly: "I heard that the country now needs a large number of professionals to study 'tower science', in order to respond to the call, this year's key universities in the country, tower science majors will reduce the total attribute requirements, huh...... It's one more hope. ”

"Also, who made Xiao Rin just an ordinary person......" A trace of disdain flashed in Xiao Yang's eyes, but the smile on his face was even bigger, he patted Yi Rin's shoulder hard, and then his tone changed: "By the way, today's history homework ......"

As he spoke, before Irin could agree, Xiao Yang had already stuffed a thick pile of homework into Irin's schoolbag.

"Oh...... Homework! It's okay, it's on me! Yi Rin happily put away the homework that Xiao Yang had stuffed over.

"It's really worthy of being my Xiao Yang's good friend, don't worry, your brother Yang and I are geniuses with strength, agility, spirit, and three measurements that exceed 10.0, and I will not miss you when I Xiao Yang comes out in the future."

Irin smiled, "yes, who made us good friends." Brother Nayang has nothing else to do...... I'll go first. ”

Irin finished packing, carrying a thick school bag, and was about to leave the classroom.

When he walked out of the door, Yi Rin suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Brother Yang, I don't think the weather is quite right, it may rain heavily tonight, remember to close the doors and windows." Bye~"

Xiao Yang looked at the back of Yi Rin leaving.

It wasn't until Yi Rin left completely that Xiao Yang spit out two words with disdain on his face.

"Silly Bi."

……

……

"Welcome home, Irin."

"It's July 8, 2121, 18:30."

The moment Irin opened the door, the lights and air purification throughout the house automatically started to operate.

A sweet, but unsentimental electronic synthesizer spoke.

Yi Rin casually threw his schoolbag aside: "Xiaoyi, help me heat a quick nutritious meal, B flavor, eat it in 30 minutes." ”

"That's for you, Irin."

Irin looked up at the screen.

Then bow your head.

He looked up again.

He lowered his head again

Repeatedly.

Confirmed six times.

Today is indeed July 8, 2121.

Even AI housekeepers sometimes make mistakes, and if they are usual, they are wrong.

But today.

There is absolutely no room for error.

"There are about 3 hours left."

Irin nodded calmly, and then made his way to the gym.

In the gym, the floor was littered with dummies.

The dummy's body was covered with deep and shallow scratches, but these scratches were more concentrated in the neck area, in the center, and deeply dented.

There are even some dummies, which are split in two from the neck, which looks a little scary.

Irin came to the strength tester with a blank face.

With all his might, a punch was blasted out.

“120KG”

Soon, a cold number flashed on the screen of the strength tester.

"ONLY 120KG...... When converted to a strength attribute, it should be around 2.0. ”

Irin's expression didn't change.

He was in front of the speed tester again.

After pressing the button, countless small balls shoot out of the barrel.

Irin was engrossed in it, quickly slapping the ball in mid-air with his palm.

"Missed 5 ...... Agility is about 3.0? But it may not be accurate...... But that's enough. ”

Irin nodded in satisfaction, and walked out of the gym without wasting his energy.

After taking a shower, Irin, changing into clean clothes, took out the instant nutritious meal from the microwave oven at just the right temperature, and took a big gulp.

Although it is a nutritious meal, it looks like a mysterious paste, and as for the taste......

It doesn't matter.

……

A few years ago, the chief scientist of the Dragon Kingdom invented a magical instrument that can classify human talents into three attributes: "strength", "agility", and "spirit", and measure specific values.

Among them, the level of strength attributes is related to muscle strength, physical explosiveness, physique, cell activity, etc.

Agility, on the other hand, is associated with a variety of factors such as reaction speed, running speed, and sensitivity.

As for mental attributes, it is equivalent to a comprehensive score of memory, calculation, observation, understanding, abstract thinking, and other abilities.

The emergence of attribute testers has completely changed the talent selection system for all human society.

Since then, all schools and units have abolished the "test" system, and instead used attribute testers to test the "three measurements" attribute to evaluate each person's natural potential.

Even, five years ago, the state also announced to the whole country from the Ming Dynasty began to circulate two kinds of fitness ancient martial arts "Strengthening Technique" and "Dragon Walking", as long as you can continue to exercise, you can steadily improve your strength and agility attributes, since then set off a national upsurge of martial arts.

Just like Irin is at Seongjo High School, physical education classes take up half of the time.

According to the data published by professional researchers, the average person's three measurements are below 3.0.

By exercising the Strengthening Technique and Dragon Walk, you can steadily increase your strength and agility attributes, but the increase is related to talent.

If you can exceed 3.0 for a single stat, you are excellent, and if you exceed 4.0, you are genius.

And Yi Rin experienced an official authoritative "preliminary test" three years ago, and the three measurements are ...... Strength 1.5, Agility 1.8, Spirit 2.9.

And the final comment turned out to be-

"Ordinary people."

……

20:00。

Irin only did one thing, and practiced the strengthening technique twice.

Promotes digestion.

In the case that the nutritious meal provides enough energy, the excessive feeling of fullness should not be allowed to affect the flexibility of the body.

6.5 points full, just right.

Not one more point, not one point less.

Too tired, too lazy, too full, too hungry.

He had already made hundreds of attempts, eaten a nutritious meal, and practiced the strengthening technique twice an hour later.

Just right.

20:10。

It was raining outside, and as I remember, it was a torrential rain.

Seeing the rainstorm coming as scheduled, Irin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past three years, he didn't even dare to spit on the side of the road.

I am afraid that this phlegm will cause some unpredictable butterfly effect, which will lead to the day of July 8, 2121, which will turn from heavy rain to sunny.

20:30。

Irin empties her bladder completely.

He pulled out the black waterproof sweatshirt he had prepared three years ago from under the bed and put it on his body.

Then I dug out another box from the toilet that had been dusty for three years.

Gloves, masks.

And one more ......

Brand new dagger.

Under the desk drawer, Irin tore hard, tore and pulled, and took out the small paper bag that had been glued to the bottom.

A small square paper bag that is very light and thin.

Irin carefully opened the paper bag, which contained only a small card, blank on both sides, and nothing.

But Irin, however, carefully placed the blank card close to his body.

"Let's go."

After Irin's preparations, he walked out of the house, left the community, and disappeared into the torrential rain in a blink of an eye.
