Chapter 2: Cultivating Civilization
Desolate beasts can perceive elemental attributes like humans, and can cultivate immortals and transform into humans, but their only weakness is that their intelligence is not as good as that of humans. At the same time, they are by far humanity's greatest enemy.
Since the birth of human beings, they have been advancing on the road of pursuit and exploration, wisdom is the innate advantage of human beings, and the major cultivation systems in the universe and those powerful technologies are the result of the research and development of our ancestors after countless years.
Everyone's mind and constitution are different.
There are people who can communicate the elements of heaven and earth, so they become noble magicians!
Some people can comprehend the five elements of yin and yang, so they have stepped into the ranks of cultivators and pursued the path of immortality!
There are people with perfectly developed brains, they are leading the trend of peak technology, and they can create many strange things, even some extremely lethal weapons.
The biggest advantage of the desolate beasts is their powerful bodies, and it will be extremely difficult for humans of the same level to defeat them, and even if they are defeated, it will be difficult to kill them.
The cultivation of desolate beasts also requires resources, and they can't produce them themselves, so they can only come to the cities inhabited by humans to plunder.
In order to protect their achievements, humans stand on the opposite side of the beasts and fight against them.
It can be said that today's Barren Star is completely a situation where humans and desolate beasts are fighting against each other, and looking at each other from a distance can be regarded as a kind of balance.
Aside from the occasional raid on the city, few humans dared to set foot in their territory.
After all, 30% of the land is occupied by them, and no one knows what is in it, and it is an unknown area that has not been explored by humans at all!
Lin Gu carefully read the records in the history books, and his heart was full of enthusiasm, he was eager to cultivate, dreaming of becoming a noble magician or a cultivator who killed enemies with a sword.
Cultivation will make human beings stronger, so that their own life safety will be guaranteed, and they will be qualified to explore the mysteries of those unknown regions and even the entire universe and starry sky.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Gu sighed lightly.
Gently closing the book, the loneliness between his eyebrows became stronger.
Can I only be an ordinary person in my life?
No!
Even if I can't practice magic and immortal law, I will never give up. There are countless cultivation systems in the United States, so I don't believe that there is no path that suits me!
He was unwilling to roar in his heart, and his hands were slightly forced, kneading the history book into a little deformed.
'Jingle bell'...
The bell rang for the end of class.
On the podium, Gong Yue put away the books, straightened the gradually declining glasses with his jade hand, and said in such a beautiful voice: "I wish the students a happy weekend tomorrow! Of course, don't forget to review your homework, there are still two months left for the entrance exam, I hope the students will work harder!
"Teacher Gong Yue, goodbye..."
There was a lot of cheering in the classroom, and it was finally the weekend and it was time to play again.
Miao Man's figure slowly walked out of the classroom, and many male classmates stared at her back, drooling. provoked the female classmates around him to roll their eyes. Man, heh!
"Where are I going to play tomorrow...", "Playing games in the casino..."
"The weekend is the end of the world for me, and my savage mom is going to force me to practice magic again. ”
"How good a magician is, the attack methods are gorgeous and colorful, dazzling, it's just a pickle girl magic skill! Unlike us who are miserable, we have been contemplating the power of the five elements all day long, and we don't know when we will be able to take off the sword..."
The voices of the surrounding teenagers and girls chirped in the classroom.
There are discussions, there are complaints, there are elations, there are all kinds of emotions of envy and jealousy!
Lin Gu stood up, silently put the books into the drawer of the desk, and after finishing the tidying, he turned around and walked out of the classroom, his figure looking a little lonely.
No other classmates around him even paid attention to him, they admired Lin Gu's academic performance and envied his amazing memory, but this did not mean that they were willing to get along with Lin Gu.
In this era of cultivation civilization, a mortal who could not perceive magic or comprehend the five elements of yin and yang was destined to be two parallel lines with them, and would never intersect.
Out of the academy, Ringu walked on the sidewalk in the direction of home.
In the middle of the air on the main road, one airship after another appeared in his sight, then blinked and disappeared.
It is a means of transportation for the Desolate Star, which can fly at low altitude, with a maximum speed of about one thousand kilometers per hour, and the price is not very expensive, a cheaper airship can be bought for about 200,000 yuan, but this price is astronomical for Lin Gu.
He was born in a single-parent family, his parents divorced when he was six years old, and he has a sister named Lin Ke who is three years younger than him.
However, his sister was born blind since she was a child and could not see this prosperous and bright world.
The mother and son have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and their lives are very difficult, and sometimes they even need the help of neighbors to eat.
Even his tuition fees were saved by his mother Lin Rou through a few months.
Fortunately, the educational institutions of the Barren Star are relatively perfect, with twelve years of compulsory education, and there will be no other expenses during the compulsory education period except for some books.
This also reduced the burden on his family in disguise.
But even so, his mother Lin Rou's meager salary is only enough for him to study alone, and his sister Lin Ke is still fifteen years old and still has not enrolled in school.
So Lingu has always studied hard and seriously, he didn't want to disappoint his mother, he wanted to get ahead and change the living conditions of his family.
As for his father, there were some vague fragments in his memory, but he was reluctant to mention it, or even recall it.
The upcoming entrance exam made Lin Gu even more sad.
The 12-year compulsory education of the junior college is only responsible for teaching some humanities, geography, history, and simple cultivation theory.
This is also to allow mortals to have the ability to be self-reliant, so that they will not be eliminated in this era of cultivation civilization.
The senior academy is different, they have only one criterion for recruiting students, and that is strength.
If you have excellent grades in other subjects in the entrance exam, but your skills are not up to the mark, then we are sorry.
The senior academy will not recruit such students, at most, it will arrange a good position for you, so that you can live an ordinary life.
On the contrary, as long as you meet the skill standard, it doesn't matter if you have zero grades in other subjects, they will also issue you an admission letter.
As for why there are such strange admissions conditions, the answer is also very simple.
The High Academy is the backbone of the Barren Star's peace, and it is their responsibility to defend it.
They will devote themselves to the battle against the beasts at any time, and some of the cadets will even die because of it, so the High Academy itself is a symbol of honor.
They do not charge any fees, and once they have successfully enrolled, the college also pays the student's family a monthly pension.
