Since ancient times, the western continent has been known as the "darling of the gods". The four seasons are distinct, the land is flat and fertile, and there has never been a major war.

Every spring, standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, the ice and snow melt, the stream trickles, the tender grass timidly pokes its head out, and the earth is full of life.

In the summer, stroll through the forest and let the sun shine through the lush foliage on the slightly damp soil. The air is filled with the fragrance of nature, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed. Here, crystal clear streams can be seen everywhere, and if you are tired of walking, you can still sit on the rocks and look at the trickling stream in a daze.

In autumn, you can see the golden wheat fields as far as the eye can see. When the sun sets, when a breeze blows, the wheat stalks will sway neatly, like a sea of gold.

When winter comes, when you sit in a short-sleeved shirt and have the heating turned on, you can deeply realize that the winter here is not cold.

This is the Western Continent, the darling of the gods.

It's the end of August, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the harvest season.

However, this is a regrettable time for most of the students in Silver City. Because the summer vacation is almost over, and the new semester is about to begin.

Attending classes, attending classes, doing homework, taking exams......

All in all, every class is a headache.

"Wow~ School is going to start again."

At this time, in front of an old building on the outskirts of No. 1 Silver City, a girl in her early twenties frowned lightly and muttered to herself.

This girl has a sweet appearance, a warm voice, combed short and medium hair covered with watermelons, wears a light blue dress, and has a slightly thin figure, about 1.6 meters tall. Her name is Qin Ke'er, and she comes from a large mountain village in the eastern part of the Far Eastern Continent. This mountain village is called Qinjia Village, and it is the largest village within a radius of more than 1,000 kilometers.

Qin Ke'er is the third daughter of the village chief. Because she was smart and clever since she was a child, her father took her to the "Temple of Fire Horn", thousands of kilometers away, and begged the Grand Master to take her as a disciple (the Temple of Fire Horn is a branch of the ancient horned rhino lineage).

After some question-and-answer, the Grand Master refused on the grounds that he was still young. But considering that her father had donated a lot of money to the Fire Horn Temple, the Grand Master agreed to send her to the Central Silver City Military Academy on the Western Continent for two years. If after two years of study, she has some understanding, the great master will accept her as an apprentice.

In other words, she is now a "self-financed student".

The students of the Central Yincheng Military Academy are roughly divided into three types, namely "free students", "self-financed students" and "guaranteed students".

Among them, there are two kinds of "free students", namely "free students for nobles" and "free students for commoners". All registered Yincheng nobles, regardless of their grades, only need to rely on proof of identity to directly enroll in the school. The "Civilian Free Student" is set up for the ordinary people of No. 1 Silver City. If you have a good score in the high school leaving examination (gaokao), you can enter the school for free.

is neither an aristocrat nor a local outstanding commoner, so he can only rely on his own pocket, which is "self-financed".

And "escorted students" refer to students sent by the three major faiths, major families, and major forces. All their expenses are paid by the organization behind them, and to put it bluntly, they are self-funded students who are paid for by others.

On the surface, Qin Ke'er is the escort student of the temple. But in fact, the main reason she was able to come to school was because her father donated enough money for school fees. Of course, their family is not at a loss in this matter. Because her father's donation was barely enough to cover her tuition for two years, and the ancient temple had to take care of her while she was in school.

At present, Qin Keer has been studying at the academy for a year, and she will go back next summer. However, since she came to the Western Continent, she has been completely conquered by this prosperous world, and she only wants to stay here, and does not want to return to the barren Far East. She is not bad-looking, with average to high grades, and as long as she has the money to buy a permanent residency in Silver City No. 1 (similar to a green card), or find a local to marry, she can stay.

However, she doesn't look down on ordinary locals and wants to find someone rich. But those who have money may play with her again. Therefore, she decided to save some money first, buy a permanent residence for herself, and then slowly find a marriage partner.

However, she is a schoolgirl and there are not many ways to make money other than selling meat.

The Central Yincheng Military Academy is a cruel and impartial place.

Everything in the academy costs money, not only for food, but also for accommodation, and even for some courses.

This is the cruelty of the academy, don't look at the bunch of aristocratic free students in the academy, in fact, they spend more than anyone else.

The reason is very simple, if you don't have money, you can only live in the cheapest group dormitory, and you have to squeeze four people into a room of less than 20 square meters. How could these Silver City nobles be accustomed to such a life. So, the senior single dormitory, 65 gold for a semester, townhouse, 270 gold for a semester, a single-family villa, 550 for a semester, a luxury single-family villa, 2350 for a semester, super luxury......

There is also eating, there is no money in the dining hall, and those who have money eat in Western restaurants, high-end Western restaurants, luxury Western restaurants, and super luxury Western restaurants......

All in all, as long as you can afford to spend it, you have everything here, and if you can't afford it, you have nothing.

However, as the world's No. 1 military academy, if everything had been in the eyes of money, I am afraid that it would have been criticized and condemned a long time ago.

Therefore, while studying, the college also provides students with a lot of opportunities to earn money, which is the notarization of the college.

The college implements a "credit" system, and students can graduate after completing the credits. From this point of view, it seems that this place is the same as a normal academy, no different.

However, at the Central Yincheng Military Academy, "credits" turned out to be hard currency! You can trade, you can buy food, you can rent dormitories, you can buy equipment, you can trade everything that the academy has to offer, from mechs to graduation certificates......

Within the Academy, credits are a higher level of currency than gold coins.

And there are three main ways for students to earn credits.

First, according to the test scores, the credits are different, and the grades are divided into three grades, pass, good, and excellent.

Secondly, the college holds various competitions every Friday, and those who win the ranking can get different credits.

Third, the college regularly announces various tasks, and those who complete the tasks can earn the credits shown in the tasks.

Among them, the reward of the third point is the most generous, and at the same time the most dangerous and difficult. It is reported that many students die in the mission every year......

In the academy, if you have money, or ability, you can live comfortably.

No money? Not capable? It's okay, study hard, pass the exam and get full credits, then graduate and get a job.

It's just that the credits obtained through the exam are often just enough for the graduation certificate. Those with excellent grades may get more than ten points. But these ten points will definitely not make up for one year's tuition and living expenses. In addition, there is a restriction in the academy that anyone over the age of twenty-eight, regardless of whether they have graduated or not, cannot stay in the academy unless they have successfully applied to become a teacher.

Qin Keer belongs to this kind of person who relies on exams to get credits. The results are good, but she doesn't have great ability and doesn't have much money, so whether it's a competition or a task, she can only be a spectator.

However, as a temple escort, she still has some benefits.

For example, right now, she is working a summer job for the "Ancient Temple's Office in the Western Continent".

Her task today is very simple, to receive a "hillbilly" from the Northern Wilderness Continent.

The reason why she judged the other party to be a hillbilly without seeing each other was because the person who arranged the task in the morning said: "That person is from the Northern Wilderness, a civilian, he has never been in the world, I guess I haven't even watched a movie, I'm afraid he will get into trouble everywhere, help watch it." ”

"It's really annoying~ What time do you come?"

At this moment, Qin Ke'er was scolding to herself. She waited from nine o'clock in the morning to one o'clock at noon, and she had not eaten her lunch, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger. But she didn't dare to leave, because the person who arranged her task repeatedly emphasized that she must receive that person as soon as possible, otherwise that person would get into trouble everywhere, and they would have to clean up the mess.

"The Northern Wilderness is more chaotic, and I heard that the people there will fight hard if they don't agree with each other, in case they ...... In case something happens, this is the Western Continent, the base camp of the Temple, no better than our Far East. ”

Recalling the other party's original words, she had no choice but to obediently obey her orders, muttering and waiting......

After another half an hour, just as Qin Ke'er was about to turn from anger to anger, a roar suddenly came from the sky. She looked up and saw a small flying machine hovering overhead, apparently looking for a place to land.

Qin Ke'er hurriedly took out the red handkerchief and ran to the open space on the side of the old house while waving it.

"Here, stupid, here, here......"

After a while, under Qin Ke'er's navigation, the aircraft landed smoothly in the clearing.

"Sneer......"

With a long deflating sound, the rear hatch of the aircraft slowly opened.

Qin Ke'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked towards the exit with bated breath. Although she already knew that the other party was a hillbilly, there were still some handsome guys among the hillbillies.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

In anticipation, a young man drove out of the rear cabin on a red locomotive.

When he saw the young man's appearance clearly, Qin Ke'er pursed her mouth in frustration. This person looks ordinary, even if he is still bearded. Forget about the slag of the beard, and wear glasses. Even if you wear glasses, it's still a very ugly black plastic-rimmed glasses......

This man is dirty from head to toe, and he still wears canvas boots, who still wears canvas boots these days, so forget it, and ride a motorcycle, even if he rides a motorcycle, he still rides a half-new one......

Pretending to be more soil than the natives of the Far East, it can't be a garbage picker, right? No mistakes in many words

The figure is okay, but it's okay......

In less than five seconds, Qin Ke'er had already secretly complained about the other party from head to toe.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Tie, and I am from the Northern Wilderness Continent." The young man looked up and held out his hand to her.

Looking at the other party's outstretched hand, she hurriedly put her hands behind her back, pretending to be shy, looking like she was embarrassed to shake hands with someone she met for the first time.

Have you ever washed this hand? This is Qin Ke'er's true thoughts.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

The young man was also open-minded, and with a warm smile, he withdrew his hand.
