Chapter 1: Yellowstone, Reborn
13 War Zones in the East of the Rune Federation, Huangshi District, Rongcheng City.
This is a well-known slum in the Eastern Theater of Operations, and on top of a small human safe territory, Yellowstone is almost entirely made up of stacked shipping containers.
Weak people live in containers of several square meters, eating dry bread distributed by the federal government.
Crops in the Yellowstone District have become almost a luxury.
Higashizawa woke up from the yellowed sheets, his eyes staring blankly around.
"Here it is...... Yellowstone?! ”
He remembered very well that the Yellowstone District had been attacked by the Rune Stone Beast two hundred years ago!
The familiar and unfamiliar container-like decoration in front of him had not appeared in front of his eyes for a long time.
As if thinking of something, Higashizawa scrambled to get up from the bed and reached out and grabbed a half-broken mirror.
Looking at the young face reflected in the mirror, Dong Ze was stunned.
"I ...... Reborn? ”
The mirror was still in Tozawa's hand, and his gaze shifted to the ancient electronic calendar on the wall.
I saw that the bright red LED panel on the calendar was displaying "Rune Calendar 3018, May 25".
3018 is the year of Dongze's eighteen-year-old senior year of high school!
Dong Ze, the king of the rune dragon, was once the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater of the Rune Federation, the first sniper in the last days, and the sevenfold powerhouse of the Fu King who was only one step away from Fu Zun!
When the Eastern Theater encountered the tide of rune beasts, Dong Ze stepped forward and drove the rune dragon "Candle Sky" to pass through tens of millions of rune beasts with the power of one person, and exploded the head of the rune beast king with one shot!
However, it is such a super strong man, but when he spent candles in the cave room, he died in the hands of his most trusted and beloved woman!
"Mu Yudie, I am infatuated with you, but I didn't expect that you were the one who killed me in the end!"
The memory gradually became clearer, and Higashizawa knew that he was not dreaming.
Na Mu Yudie is the daughter of Mu Song, the king of Fu in the Western Theater.
Once the Eastern Theater almost fell, Mu Song advocated abandoning the Eastern Theater, letting hundreds of millions of innocent people become food for runese beasts, and protecting the interests of the so-called "high-ranking people", but Dong Ze tried his best to protect the Eastern Theater, and even tore his face with Mu Song for this.
Later, the Eastern Theater was barely preserved, but the relationship between the Eastern and Western Theaters became strained.
In order to appease Dong Ze's anger, Mu Song introduced his daughter to Dong Ze, Mu Yudie is also a rare beauty, not only talented, but also knowledgeable, gentle and graceful.
Dong Ze soon got drunk and fell into the beauty town, who knew that Mu Yudie was just hypocritical, and finally poisoned Dong Ze's wine when he spent candle night in the cave room......
The sky has eyes, Dong Ze did not really die, but was reborn back to the year when he was eighteen years old!
"In the previous life, I was unladylike, but since God gave me Dongze a second life, I will definitely make your father and daughter pay the price!"
Higashizawa clenched his hands and breathed violently for a while before stopping.
At this moment, the rune watch worn on Tozawa's left wrist made a dripping sound.
Higashizawa turned off his alarm clock, knowing that it was time for him to get up and go to school.
After sorting out his thoughts, Dong Ze slowly recalled.
On May 24, 3018, that is, yesterday, Dong Ze had just experienced the third mock exam of Huangshi No. 3 Middle School, and today is the day the results will be announced.
After getting up and washing up briefly, Higashizawa changed into his somewhat worn school uniform and pushed open the door of the container.
On the ring finger of his left hand, there was an extra black ring, which looked very rough and had dense silver-gray spots on it.
At first glance, it looks commonplace.
But Dong Ze understood that this ring was the biggest opportunity for him to step into the Fu King Seven and become the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater.
Eighteen years ago, his ruthless parents dumped him in a garbage dump in Yellowstone, but an old scavenger rescued him and raised him as an adult.
But just a month ago, the old man died of illness.
What he left for Tozawa, in addition to the dilapidated container behind Tozawa, and the antique bicycle that stopped downstairs-
There was only this ring in Higashizawa's hand.
At this point, the ring didn't react at all, but Higashizawa wasn't worried.
Walking down the iron railing in front of the door, Dong Ze rode his bicycle, and after about half an hour, he arrived at the gate of Huangshi No. 3 Middle School.
I just went through the third mock exam yesterday, but it failed to relieve the pressure of the college entrance examination on everyone.
The senior high school students who entered the school with Higashizawa were all dragging heavy footsteps at this time.
There is a huge display screen hanging on the teaching building, and the blood-like font on it reads "There are 12 days left until the college entrance examination", like an invisible mountain, pressing on the shoulders of students.
Walking into the classroom, most of the seats were already full, the theory books on the table were piled up with the students, and the air was filled with the smell of breakfast that had not yet dissipated.
Students who work hard have already started studying, but there are also salted fish who know that their talents are limited and give up struggling early.
For example, Dong Ze's tablemate Feng Ruifeng.
"Brother Dong, you came so early today, do you want to struggle again?" Feng Ruifeng took the initiative to help Dong Ze pull out the chair.
"Where's breakfast?" Higashizawa asked.
"Ready!" Feng Ruifeng took out a plastic bag from the drawer, "Milk, dry bread, for the sake of you coming so early, I invited you for this meal." ”
After receiving the simple breakfast, Higashizawa's heart warmed.
This Feng Ruifeng was his most iron-clad buddy in high school, and his family sold breakfast at the school gate, Feng Ruifeng knew that Dongze's family was not good, so he often helped him.
"Hey, I don't know what yesterday's results were, Brother Dong, you are stable, the theoretical and practical scores have always been full marks, and it is the ...... of this rune spirit development."
Tozawa's movements faltered.
Runic development can be understood as talent.
Every senior high school student needs to undergo the rune spirit development test, and only those who have reached more than 50% of the development degree can become a rune master.
In the previous life, the development degree of the Fu spirit in the Dongze college entrance examination was ......
27%!
The world is sometimes so unfair, some people work hard for a lifetime, but because of this rune spiritual development, they can't become a rune after all.
And some people eat, drink and have fun every day, even if the theory and practice are not qualified, just a rune development degree can make them go to key universities.
Becoming a Talisman is the dream of every young person in the Federation.
Becoming a talisman means being able to use talismans, being able to become a warrior of the Federation, and enjoying all kinds of resources!
Fragrant cars, beauties?
Money, power?
For ordinary people, these are the unreachable sky, but for the charmer, they are the most basic standard.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people like Feng Ruifeng living in the slums, becoming a talisman is almost no different from flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix.
It's a pity that Feng Ruifeng's rune spirit development degree is only 36%, which is far from the standard of becoming a rune.
Knowing that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to be admitted to the university, Feng Ruifeng became one of the few salted fish in the class.
At this time, this salted fish obviously wanted to find a little comfort from Dongze.
"I'll struggle again." Higashizawa laughed.
"Although neither of our brothers can become a talisman, but Brother Dong, your score in cultural classes is so high, it will not be a problem to be a lawyer, doctor or something like that in the future, and my brother will have to rely on you in the future!"
Feng Ruifeng is very clear about his positioning, and he doesn't feel ashamed, Dong Ze estimated that among the fifty students in the class, Feng Ruifeng's mentality was the most optimistic.
It's a pity that in Dongze's impression, Feng Ruifeng's optimism can't be maintained for too long.
In January 3020, the defense line of the 13th Eastern War Zone was broken, and the Huangshi District bore the brunt, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people were reduced to the food of the rune beasts, including Feng Ruifeng's parents.
Feng Ruifeng, who survived by luck, has been in a slump since then, and has been drinking all day long, and died of illness at a young age.
This is also one of the biggest regrets of Higashizawa's last life.
But now that Dong Ze is back, he will no longer watch Feng Ruifeng fall, whether it is to take everyone out of the Huangshi District in advance, or to find a way to stop the rune stone beast tide, in short, he wants to change all this.
While drinking warm milk, Dong Ze casually flipped through his cultural textbooks.
He has long memorized the contents of the book, and even some theories will be overturned by powerful theorists in the future, but Higashizawa just wants to accept himself to return to the reality of the past in this way.
After a while, the class bell rang, and three boys walked into the classroom in a playful manner, completely ignoring the feelings of their classmates.
Dong Ze frowned, looked at it for a while, and barely remembered the names of the three boys.
At the head of the group was a tall man with a rather handsome face, named Ma Tianrui, who was the only boy in his class who could wear long bangs, because his father was one of the largest shareholders of rune suppliers in Huangshi District.
When Ma Tianrui was enrolled, his father Ma Weiyan directly donated 1 million federal dollars to the school, causing Ma Tianrui to send his classmates to the hospital three times at school, but nothing happened.
The other two boys, one fat and one thin, are named Chang Hao and Zhai Huachi, and their parents are both Fu people in Huangshi District, and they have a lot of rights in Huangshi District.
These three boys, in yesterday's mock test, barely exceeded 50% of the rune spirit development.
This means that if nothing else, even if they eat, drink and be merry every day for the next twelve days, they don't have to worry about not being admitted to Fu Zhi University.
In the previous life, except for Ma Tianrui, the other three became talismans.
Although Ma Tianrui did not become a charmer, but because of his father's relationship, he established a small company in Huangshi District, and Dongze had a lot of business dealings with him after graduation, but this guy ate inside and out, and once made Dongze's company face bankruptcy.
Of course, that was all what happened before Dong Ze became a talisman, and Dong Ze didn't care what happened to Ma Tianrui later.
In this life, as long as Ma Tianrui doesn't provoke him, he doesn't bother to retaliate.
However, Ma Tianrui was obviously still the same, he walked into the classroom with a grin, and threw his schoolbag on Dong Ze's desk, just holding down the cultural textbook Dong Ze was reading.
But Ma Tianrui didn't care about this at all, he said to Feng Ruifeng with a smile:
"Xiao Fengzi, my brothers didn't eat breakfast today, you kid will deal with it?"
Feng Ruifeng said embarrassedly: "Ahem, Brother Ma, if you say hello early, I will bring it to you, but this time I really don't have much ......."
Feng Ruifeng's parents sell breakfast at the school gate, and his classmates know about it, so they often ask Feng Ruifeng to help bring breakfast, and Feng Ruifeng is also happy to help his parents increase sales.
However, there are always a few bastards in the class who always pay on credit, including Ma Tianrui and the three in front of him.
"None? So what is Dong Ze holding in his hand? ”
Chang Hao pointed at Dong Ze with his greasy fingers, Dong Ze sniffed, this dead fat man had obviously eaten several fritters just now.
The dry bread was placed on the table, and Dong Ze didn't have time to move his mouth, but now it had obviously become an excuse for Ma Tianrui and them to find fault.
Feng Ruifeng was anxious: "Brother Hao, this is Dong Ge who bought it himself, and he can't ...... it."
"Xiao Fengzi, you have to think clearly, for the sake of a waste without a father and a mother, it doesn't seem to be worth offending the three of us classmates who are about to become Fu Masters, right?"
Zhai Huachi sneered, and almost wrote the word smug on his face.
The development degree of the rune spirit needs to go through at least three tests to determine its approximate range, and Ma Tianrui's three consecutive tests have exceeded 50%, and becoming a rune is already a sure thing.
The head teacher who was attached to the inflammation obviously called their parents early to inform them of the test results, which is why the three of them were so arrogant today.
In Dong Ze's memory, in addition to these three male classmates in their class, there was also a girl named Zhao Xiqian who also had the potential to become a talisman.
At this time, the girl was sitting in front of Dong Ze's left, and Ma Tianrui's voice did not attract her attention.
"Masters, this ...... It's really not easy......"
Feng Ruifeng's brows were twisted together, obviously Dong Ze's status in his mind was far greater than that of the so-called Fu Person.
"Do you look down on us?!"
Ma Tianrui sank his face and pointed his nose at Feng Ruifeng, Chang Hao snatched the dry bread in front of Dong Ze, and Zhai Huachi looked at Dong Ze with contempt.
"That's enough, put things down."
Dong Ze suddenly spoke, his voice was as cold as frost, and Ma Tianrui and the others couldn't help but shudder just by hearing it.
