The time has come to the present, and it is now 2168. More than a decade after the end of the "Demonic Calamity".

Humans gather in cities large and small around the world to survive, and Warcraft roam the wilderness.

While building a city to recuperate, humans went out to clear out the monsters. Doing so can get more magic crystals on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also suppress the growing number of monsters.

After more than 10 years of relatively stable development, the number of people on the earth has recovered to half of its pre-war level.

The pattern of countries around the world has not changed much. After all, advanced magic crystal technologies such as space force field stabilizers needed by the military and the construction of cities are firmly in the hands of the leaders of various countries.

The state has enough strength to ensure that human society can return to stability in a short period of time after the end of the "demonic calamity period".

And the city of G, where Chen Mu is located, is a city in the territory of China.

After years of development, Magic Crystal Technology has been applied to all aspects of people's lives. Now people's lives are inseparable from it.

Magic crystal is a universal energy source, which can replace coal, oil, natural gas, etc., and is a clean energy. The most important thing is that the Demon Beast is far away, and the Demon Crystal is far away.

It is a great irony that the energy crisis of mankind has been solved in this way.

Chen Mu reluctantly listened carefully to the teacher's lecture for a while, and his thoughts couldn't help but fly into the distance again.

The present era is the age of the Witcher. This was due to the contribution of the witchers to humanity during the war, as well as the country's unremitting propaganda campaign.

After the end of the "Demon Calamity", some of the Demon Hunters left the army. Some of them don't like to be constrained by the military department. And more people want to get more through their abilities.

Gaining the ability to surpass ordinary people often gives birth to ambitions that surpass ordinary people. After all, with great power comes great responsibility, and this concept is a reality that only few people can do.

When the ambition of a demon hunter is used to hunt monsters to obtain magic crystals to strengthen themselves, or to sell others for wealth at a high price, countries are allowed to do so.

But when the ambitions of the witchers are used to burn and plunder, or to destabilize society, and act recklessly, countries will suppress it mercilessly.

The state has always had the most powerful force at its disposal.

But this kind of careerist will not disappear, they hide in all corners, operate in secret, and plan slowly.

When there are more and more freelance witchers in the human community. In order to standardize the management of the witchers in their own countries, each country has established the Witcher Association.

Unlike the absolute obedience required by the army. The Warlock Guild is more akin to an institution established by the state to serve the Warlock Hunter.

The witchers who join the association are free, provided that they do not do anything that undermines social stability.

Anyone can register with the Guild to post a quest as long as they are properly paid, and it is entirely up to the Witcher to accept the quest. Of course, the published tasks need to be reviewed by the association beforehand.

There are also perfect information channels in the association, all kinds of new equipment, powerful magic crystal weapons, as long as the demon hunters who join it reach the corresponding level, they will be exchanged for resources or rewards with corresponding permissions.

The lax management style and abundant resources have made most of the witchers accept and join the association. With the platform of the Demon Hunter Association, their personal safety is more secure when hunting Warcraft.

The Witcher Guild grew rapidly after its inception and slowly became an authoritative body in everyone's hearts. The new generation of awakened humans can only qualify as witchers by passing the guild assessment.

The Association uses an F to SSS certification calculation method for Witch Hunters. There are two types of certification: individual certification and team certification.

Individual certification is assessed by the Demon Hunter Association, and as long as the overall strength reaches the corresponding standards, the corresponding level of authority can be obtained; Team certification is determined by the team's task completion rate. The two certifications have their own strict systems, and the gold content is extremely high.

Missions issued by the Witcher Guild will have a level requirement. Avoid the occasional arrogant witcher to hunt monsters that are stronger than you.

The way for low-level witchers to hunt powerful monsters is to join a strong team. The team needs to have at least 10 people, and there is no upper limit on the number of people. The association is stricter on the management of the team than the individual, after all, once a team of witchers is in trouble, it will cause more harm to human society.

Each team must complete a certain number of team tasks before it can be formed, and there are a certain number of resident witchers in the team.

After the formal team is formed, the increase or decrease of members needs to explain the situation to the association. A Witcher is not allowed to join more than one team at the same time. Dispersed groups are not covered by this regulation.

With the exception of a very small number of solo travelers, the Witchers are generally keen to join various teams, and in addition to being safer in groups than individuals when hunting Warcraft, the team also teaches various experiences to new members.

And the danger in the wild does not only come from Warcraft, people are sometimes more terrible than Warcraft.

A lone Witcher is often more likely to be attacked by a team with bad intentions, while a Witcher who acts in a group is attacked by a Witcher who is stronger than himself. As long as it is not a group killing, once someone escapes back to the city alive and provides video evidence, the killer will face the pursuit of the association and even the national army.

When each Witcher goes out to hunt a monster, a video screen is recorded as evidence of the completion of the mission.

The Witcher is the strongest class among humans. Generally speaking, only awakened humans are eligible to become witchers, but there are no absolutes in everything.

Since scientists have transformed a more reasonable device for the development of awakened humans according to the magic crystal circuit, the awakening device. The number of awakened people in humanity has increased dramatically, accounting for one-tenth of the total number of the world's population.

Don't think of this as a low chance, before the Awakening Device was introduced, Awakened Humans were only one percent of the world's population.

The emergence of the first awakened humans was full of serendipity.

Later, after long-term experiments by scientists, it was found that the age stage of human beings between the ages of 11 and 15 is the best period for awakening ability. The awakening rate of humans at this stage is the highest, and after the age of 15, it is basically difficult for an awakened person to appear.

Each nation has created a sufficient number of awakening devices in their respective cities. When a child reaches the age of 11, they can use an awakening device for free. After that, you can use it for free once a year until you are 15 years old.

This means that most humans will be able to use the Awakening Device for free 5 times in their lifetime. Of course, as long as you spend enough magic crystals, you can buy additional uses.

And the state also encourages this kind of behavior, which can not only directly recover magic crystals, but also indirectly encourage demon hunters to go out to hunt monsters.

Don't feel that this kind of behavior is unfair, no matter what the era, absolute fairness does not exist. Moreover, the state spends huge resources in order to maintain the free number of awakenings per person at 5 times.

Chen Mu belongs to the majority of the human group. His parents are ordinary working-class people, and there is only one child in the family, Chen Mu.

As for the other elders, they were either separated or killed in the war. Although the state has now reinstated the hukou system, there is also transportation to and from various cities. But looking for someone in the vast sea of people is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chen Mu is 14 years old this year, about 150cm tall, medium build, with a round baby face, slightly delicate facial features, and a harmless boy next door.

Chen Mu is a relatively well-behaved student in school, and it is the first time that this kind of thing has happened to him in class, so the head teacher will lose his temper so much.

The reason why Chen Mu slept in class today was because Chen Mu had insomnia last night.

The reason for the insomnia is that today is Chen Mu's 14th birthday, which is the day when he can use the awakening device for free. Since Chen Mu's communication device received the notification last night of the specific time and place to use the awakening device today, he has been so nervous that he can't sleep.

"Jingle bell" In Chen Mudu's waiting for the second like a year, the bell for the end of class finally rang.

Chen Mu hurriedly closed the tablet and was about to leave the classroom. Although there is still an hour before the agreed time, it only takes 20 minutes to reach the destination.

"Chen Mu come over here." At this time, the head teacher stopped Chen Mu.

Chen Mu had no choice but to retract the foot that had already stepped out of the classroom, turned around and walked towards the head teacher.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

"Well, what the hell was going on in class just now, you never slept in class." The head teacher said

"I..., today is the day I use the awakening device, I was too nervous yesterday and had insomnia, teacher, I'm sorry." Chen Mu hesitated for a moment and said truthfully

"Well, so that's the case, whenever there is a big event, there is calm, although awakening is a big event, but your nervousness can't affect the result, and it's not an excuse for you to sleep in class." The head teacher said solemnly,

"Remember not to have a next time, well, you can leave"

Chen Mu originally thought that the head teacher was going to teach himself a long film again, but when he was secretly anxious, the head teacher's tone changed and let Chen Mu go.

Chen Mu secretly sighed and said gratefully, "Thank you, teacher, I remembered, goodbye, teacher." Then he hurriedly turned around and ran out of the classroom.

"Hey, wait, I wish you a happy birthday," the head teacher said after Chen Musheng.

Chen Mu turned around and just saw the afternoon sun shining into the classroom, shining slightly above the head teacher's head.

The Mediterranean look, which I usually think is funny, suddenly feels a little cute today.

"Thank you, teacher"
