The little bookstore kneels down and asks for 5-star reviews!

You vote, I add 3 more every day!

2888 A.D. -

The sun is scorching, the heat wave is rolling, and the entire city of Tsugawa is scorched in a scorching heat.

Even so, the wide road is still full of traffic and people.

Today's international community has a population of around six billion. In 2567, the global beast tide directly reduced the original population of more than 10 billion by half, and more than 300 years later, it has not completely recovered.

"The Tsugawa Martial Arts Center has arrived, please note those who want to get off the bus."

On the twenty-meter-long bus, as an electronic synthesis sound sounded, a teenager released the ring in his hand, ready to pass through the crowd and get off through the back door.

The boy has short hair, wears a tight black tank top and light-colored trousers, and has a pair of canvas sneakers under his feet, with a straight waist, and looks energetic.

The boy carried a long knife behind him, the entire bright blade of which was wrapped in a black cloth, tied with a linen rope, without a scabbard, except for the brown color of the hilt.

Seeing this, the people around him all consciously made way for the boy to pass easily. And the eyes of these people are full of envy.

Because the federal government stipulates that people with a basic combat strength of less than 10 are not allowed to carry weapons and walk around, violators will be fined 10,000 federal dollars.

In today's world, whether a person is a strong person or not depends mainly on the level of combat effectiveness. The amount of combat effectiveness is determined by five aspects: strength, agility, spirit, equipment and martial arts.

Although there are other aspects that affect the level of combat effectiveness, those are all legendary existences, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch.

Strength, agility, and spirit are the embodiment of a person's basic physical qualities, and how much combat effectiveness they determine is called basic combat effectiveness. Together with the combat effectiveness affected by equipment and weapons, it is called total combat effectiveness.

If the basic combat strength exceeds ten, it means that this person has already started the path of cultivation, and wherever he goes, he is respected. After all, these people are the backbone of maintaining the stability of people's lives.

For ordinary adults, the average basic combat strength is about five.

However, what people often talk about in the world now usually refers to the total combat effectiveness. Because equipment and martial arts are also completely a reflection of their own strength.

The boy got off the bus, and after a few steps, he came to a tall and spacious building.

The surface of the building is like a colorful Rubik's cube, which is colorful and radiates a dazzling sheen to the surroundings. And only one corner stands on the ground, slowly rotating.

The young man glanced up at the four big black characters of "Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall" floating above, and walked in.

Compared to the scorching heat outside, the spacious hall was very cool and comfortable, and the boy only felt that his whole body was in a chill.

There were more than a dozen soft sofas in the spacious hall, and five or six people were sitting on them chatting, and the young man saw them with a look of envy in his eyes. Because he knew that people with a total combat strength of less than fifty were not allowed to stay in the rest hall of the Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall.

The total combat strength of these people must be more than 50.

However, the envy in the boy's eyes quickly disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because he was sure that after the meeting, he would also become one of them.

It was obviously not the first time that the young man had come to this Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall, so he didn't greet the flamboyant waitress in the hall, nor did he look around, so he walked directly to the second floor.

At the entrance of the second floor, six large red characters are marked: Combat Effectiveness Test Area. The boy glanced at it, did not hesitate, and walked in quickly.

"Name?"

The boy sat at a table, opposite a beautiful young woman with glasses. The young woman wore a black professional attire and short ear-length hair, and looked very shrewd and capable. She is the receptionist on the second floor.

At this moment, the young woman asked the young man in front of her.

Next to them was a large green screen with a form and a lot of blank space to fill out.

"Ning Gang, the quiet Ning, the heaven and earth Gang."

After the young man finished speaking, he saw the top column of the green screen, and the blank space below the name was automatically filled in with the word "Ning Gang".

"Age?" The young woman then asked.

Ning Gang replied, "Eighteen." ”

Then Ning Gang saw the young woman touch it on the green screen, and the screen began to scroll, and when it stopped for a while, a machine next to it automatically flashed a red light, and at the same time spit out a magnetic card.

The young woman got up and picked up the card, but instead of handing it to Ning Gang directly, she smiled and said, "The total cost is one thousand federal coins." ”

Ning Gang paid the cash that had been prepared a long time ago, and after taking the card, the young woman opened her mouth and instructed, "The card contains the combat power information you entered last time, and your new test records will automatically overwrite them." As for how to test, I don't need to introduce it anymore, right? ”

When the young woman first came in, she noticed the big knife he was carrying behind him, and it was obvious that Ning Gang's basic combat power had exceeded ten, and it must have been tested.

Besides, in today's society, how many people have not tested their combat effectiveness?

"Yes, I know." Ning Gang nodded.

Although the last time I was here was three years ago, there are some things that are impossible to forget. Compared with others who came here every month or two to test their combat effectiveness, Ning Gang came here again after three years, and it was indeed a long time later.

It's not that Ning Gang doesn't want to know the improvement and change of his combat power in real time, but the test cost of one thousand federal coins each time, for him, these money must be saved.

The reason why Ning Gang came here this time and was willing to spend a thousand Federation coins to test his combat strength was because he wanted to do something after making sure that his total combat strength reached fifty, preferably more than seventy.

Over the years, I have practiced hard day and night, far beyond the efforts of my peers, and I have also prepared for this matter.

And if the total combat power can really exceed fifty, he will also get the "low-level martial emblem" of the "Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall", which will have a 3-point combat power bonus, and these 3 combat power points will also be extremely important to him at that time.

The entire second floor of the Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall is divided into three areas, in addition to the "physical fitness" test area for strength, agility, and spirit, there is also a "equipment" test area and a "martial arts" test area.

The three test areas are divided by three large metal machines, each of which in turn is surrounded by a layer of circular transparent glass.

Ning Gang walked to the first round glass door, put the magnetic card on the glass and brushed it, and saw the glass door slowly open.

Ning Gang stepped in, took a deep breath, adjusted himself to the best state, and then said to start, and saw a red light slowly sprinkled from the top of the machine, and in a moment, Ning Gang's entire body was enveloped.

Crispy, itchy, and even a little tingling, Ning Gang could clearly feel that every muscle in his body was shaking involuntarily, and there was also a strange energy running back and forth in his mind.

Unlike when he was testing his combat effectiveness three years ago, when he encountered the tension of this situation, Ning Gang seemed very calm, because he knew that these were normal reactions during the test.

After about ten minutes, Ning Gang felt that everything strange on his body suddenly disappeared, and then an electronic synthesis sound sounded, and at the same time, many words appeared on the glass screen in front of him.

"Ning Gang, male, eighteen years old.

Strength: 15, Combat Strength Bonus: 15

Dexterity: 17, Combat Bonus: 17

Spirit: 16, Combat Strength Bonus: 16

Base Combat Strength: 48"

"Good!"

Ning Gang saw that his basic combat strength had reached 48, and he clenched his fist heavily.

This value is as much as 8 points higher than the 40 he expected, counting the bonuses of equipment and martial arts, Ning Gang believes that when the final combat effectiveness test is out, it will definitely reach 70! That's a lot higher than the original expectation of 50!

Over the years, the crazy training day and night has finally come to fruition.

While others are resting, he Ning Gang is training!

While others are playing, he Ning Gang is training!

When others are in love, he Ning Gang is still training!

Over the years, Ning Gang's nerves have been tense like clockwork, and he has never slackened in the slightest, because he has a reason why he has to work hard to improve his combat effectiveness!

Ning Gang's training methods are actually very ordinary, they are all from the videos circulating in school and on the Internet, and they are popular among the public, but he can reach 48 at the age of eighteen, and his basic combat effectiveness has reached 48, which is already the best among his peers.

All this, it can only be said that he is harder and harder than others!

Ning Gang then walked into the "equipment" test area, which was also the first time he had come to this area. The last time he came to test his combat effectiveness, he didn't have this combat knife on his back, so he didn't come in.

Ning Gang took off the black cloth behind his back, held the brown hilt, and untied the hemp rope, a white blade that was shiny all over was so dazzling in the space surrounded by glass.

Ning Gang stroked the blade of the knife extremely carefully, as if he was stroking his lover, his eyes were full of cherished light.

It's not that this knife doesn't have a scabbard, it's just that Ning Gang feels that this is the first weapon he spent three days building with his own hands, and the purpose of its birth is to drink blood, and with the scabbard, it will only kill its anger.

Ning Gang held the knife in both hands, put it on a raised platform in front of him, then stood aside, and began to say a word, and saw a black light shooting out from above, starting from the tip of the knife, slowly moving forward along the blade, until it shone through the handle, and suddenly disappeared.

Immediately after, an electronic synthesis sound sounded, and the specific information of the war knife appeared on the glass screen.

"Equipment Type: Knife.

Quality: White-grade good product.

Combat Bonus: 10"

When Ning Gang heard that the quality was a "white-level good product", his eyes were full of joy, it seemed that the hard work spent on it had not been in vain in the past three days of forging day and night.

The quality of the equipment is divided into nine grades: "white, black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple", and each grade has five levels: "ordinary, good, high-quality, excellent, and legendary".

Equipment includes not only weapons, but also clothes, shoes, necklaces, rings, and more.

Ning Gang also wanted to wear all the other equipment in order to increase his combat effectiveness, but the equipment that could increase his combat effectiveness was extremely expensive, at least more than 50,000 federal coins, which was far from something he could afford.

In 2345 A.D., a huge meteorite came from the sky, with a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers, and if it hit the earth, the entire earth civilization would cease to exist.

To this end, the governments of the world joined forces to carry out an unprecedented cooperation, all the existing anti-aircraft missiles, laser weapons and magnetic light cannons in the world were launched, and then at an altitude of 20,000 meters above the ground, successfully hit and shattered the meteorite, disintegrating a planetary catastrophe.

The shattered meteorites fell all over the world, some of them were less than half a meter in diameter when they fell to the ground, while others were still ten meters in size, causing huge damage.

However, people around the world who have picked up meteorites have successively discovered that this meteorite has a strange energy, and the weapons or jewelry made of meteorites are equipped on the body, and people's abilities will be greatly improved, which also makes these meteorites extraordinarily valuable and precious.

The white-grade high-grade battle knife on Ning Gang's body was mixed with a meteorite the size of his index finger, which he had personally forged by standing beside the furnace, hammer by hammer. And this meteorite was also given by his neighbor Lin Minglei's uncle, and he was never willing to use it.

In this way, counting the bonus of this combat knife, Ning Gang's combat effectiveness at this time was already 58.

In the final "martial arts" test area, Ning Gang did not enter, because he knew that the "Plum Blossom Sword Technique" he had learned from school now was a human-level mid-grade martial art, and he had already cultivated to the second level, and his combat power bonus was 20, which was also the only combat power bonus he was sure of.

Martial arts are divided into seven levels: "human level", "earth level", "heaven level", "flood level", "desolate level", "huan level", and "yu level".

Each level can be divided into three grades: "lower grade", "middle grade" and "upper grade".

The combat power of the human level can be increased by up to 50, and if it exceeds 50, it can be classified as a "prefecture-level" martial art.

The "Plum Blossom Knife Method" practiced by Ning Gang is divided into four layers, and each layer of cultivation increases the combat power by 10, and the total cultivation to the end can add 40 combat power.

Ning Gang is now cultivating to the second level, and he can add 20 combat power.

Ning Gang took the low-level martial emblem of the Jinchuan Martial Arts Hall from the receptionist, and wore it on his body very seriously, only to feel an inexplicable energy enveloping his body.

In this way, Ning Gang's basic combat power is 48, and counting the bonuses of equipment, martial arts, and low-level martial emblems, the highest combat power has reached 81!
