When he left, he inquired about the monetary system, this world uses blue star coins, the face value is exactly the same as in the previous life, he and his sister are orphans, they used to rely on orphanage funding, and now they are self-reliant, the school's education fees are completely free, and the daily living expenses are living by receiving military relief funds.

The two of them have a total of 1,000 blue star coins a month, barely surviving.

Another point is that compared with the previous life, the population of this world has skyrocketed countless times, so the pressure on resources and competition is also even greater, if it were not for the extremely high welfare of students who are still in basic education from the military department, it would be difficult for a teenager like Li Xiang to survive.

It's a pity that my sister Li Yetong, her lower body is paralyzed, she can only use a wheelchair, her physical condition makes her unable to go to school, and the basic magic circuits of people with disabilities are fully closed.

The only hope is that two years later, when my sister is also eighteen years old, she can participate in a magic circuit test, but at present, no one in Li Xiang's situation can awaken the magic circuit in the materials that Li Xiang has read.

In an era when everyone's physical fitness is improving explosively, there are very few people with disabilities, and they are simply outcasts of the times.

Thinking of the two of them in their previous lives, and his sister's desperate life, Li Xiang couldn't help but clench his fists, in fact, that night, before committing suicide by drinking bullets, the last thing that flashed in his mind repeatedly was not regret for Fei Yujing.

It's my sister, and I feel extremely guilty about my sister.

Not only did they fail to heal her leg in the end, but even after joining the "tarot", the two met very rarely.

He thought that if he could do it all over again, he would give her a different life, and then he woke up again at the desk, which must be a chance given to him by God.

The rental house was not far away, and Li wanted to walk home, the mechanical street lamps on both sides of the road emitted a pale yellow glow, and the leaves on the black benches danced and made a rustling sound.

It was almost ten o'clock, and there was no one on the road.

He wrapped his clothes tightly and walked into the old community familiarly, he and his sister rented a small cubicle under the corridor on the first floor of the building, which was originally a storage room for residents on the first floor, and the landlord's aunt was the owner of the first floor, seeing that he and his sister were pitiful, he rented it to them at a low price.

If he hadn't failed the college entrance examination at that time, he would have to leave the sad place, but in fact, the conditions here are much better than later.

Walking into the building, the lights in the corridor flickered on and off, and the smell of paint in disrepair came, "squeak", the door on the first floor opened, and the middle-aged woman carrying the garbage bag was stunned when she saw Li Xiang, and immediately beckoned,

"I think you're back, today is the exam, come on, I still have more than a pot of dumplings here, I can't eat them alone, you and Ye Hitomi take them and eat them." ”

As she spoke, she turned and went into the house, and after the sound of rustling, the landlady and aunt handed him a large food box.

"Hehe, it's a little cold, Auntie hasn't finished eating, don't dislike it. ”

Looking at her enthusiastic face, Li Xiang seemed to have returned to the days of that time, and he smiled and hugged it: "How come, thank you Aunt Wang, for causing you trouble." ”

"Go and go, don't tell me about this, go back quickly, the child of Notomi is probably in a hurry. She pushed Li Xiang and went to throw out the garbage by herself.

Li Xiang was holding the food box, and as soon as his hand reached the doorknob, the door "creaked" open, and the petite girl in a wheelchair slid the wheelchair with one hand and held the doorknob with the other.

She wasn't tall enough, and her ass had to be pouted a little to touch.

The girl's face was a little pale, her long black and bright hair was draped down, and her voice was very sweet.

"Brother, you're back, I heard you and Aunt Wang's voices at the door. ”

Li Xiang hurriedly opened the door, first pushed up his sister's wheelchair, and then closed the door with one foot.

"How many times have I said it, I will open the door by myself, what if you fall? This is the dumpling given by Aunt Wang, I will heat it up...... Don't just grab it with your hands. ”

Li Xiang knocked on his sister's head, and smiled angrily, "It's so unhygienic, I can't bear it." ”

"Briefly, I'm hungry. Li Yetong stuck out his tongue and secretly took another dumpling, "You kick the door with your foot again, and sooner or later you will kick it badly." ”

"If the kick is broken, buy another one. Li Xiang snatched the food box from her hand, ready to make it hot, the room was very small, only a bed and a desk, and he had transformed a very small bathroom inside, the squatting pit and the shower were integrated, but the water heater became a steam device.

There is no kitchen, just an old rice cooker and induction cooker, and now it has been replaced by the corresponding steam equipment, anyway, the style is about the same.

Li Xiang fiddled with it, and quickly activated the device, he looked at the rice cooker-style steam equipment, and the mechanical parts inside were clear at a glance, why are the mechanical devices in this world transparent?

"Brother, why are you still stunned, don't review it quickly with so many books, I'll help you look at the dumplings, you can read the book well." Li Yetong sat in a wheelchair and pursed his lips and smiled.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Li Xiang sat down at the desk and flipped through the large pile of information books he had brought from the library.

"At the end of the 21st century, after the nuclear winter, the basic particles underwent drastic changes, magic particles were born, and the blue star split into countless suspended fragmented continents, and countless disasters fell from the sky, almost destroying mankind, which is known in history as the 'cataclysm'. In order to compete for resources and perpetuate the flame of humanity, humanity began a centuries-long war against calamity. Three hundred years later, the two sides have finally stabilized, and the human side has reshaped their homes with steam technology and player technology, creating countless barriers against calamity. ”

Li Xiangmo read, digesting the large amount of information pouring in in his mind.

"All the information about the past human world has been lost, and now that human beings have a new civilization and system, the seven suspended continents are the last pure land of mankind, and the Great Wall of Calamity has been built on the border to resist those countless calamities. The seven continents are Asiatic, African, Northland, Southern, Cold, Continental, and Continental...... The so-called calamity,"

"They are all terrifying mutated creatures and monsters, which are entrenched outside the Great Wall of Calamity, constantly invading the human world, powerful and bloody. The Goddess of Calamity system that descended on the human world three hundred years ago has brought hope for the rise of human civilization, and with its help, human beings can gradually master magic particles to greatly improve their physical fitness, and the players who stand out from it are the strongest force to resist the calamity!"

"In order to cultivate batches of elite players, the current education system came into being. From elementary school to high school, we continue to exercise, learn steam technology knowledge and magic knowledge, determine the magic circuit of the body in the unified entrance examination, and finally fill in the application with the total score, enter the university to study as a magic apprentice, and then advance to become a magician. When you graduate, there will be a player qualification exam, and only by becoming a player can you resist disasters and make ordinary people truly change the fate of their lives. ”

Li Xiang suddenly realized that this world is not peaceful because of the huge danger of calamity outside, and some professions spawned by this will have extremely high value and treatment, and the top players are naturally the professions that everyone yearns for.

Even if the conditions are not up to the player's qualifications, being able to go to a good university is still the only way to make a qualitative change, after all, learning steam technology also has the opportunity to enter important organizations such as the military department, which is thousands of times stronger than ordinary people.

The impact of the unified entrance examination in this world is far greater than that of previous lives, and it is also more cruel.

"What about the magic circuit, what is the magic circuit, and what is the player?" Li Xiang continued to read.

"There are three basic classes for players, magician, guardian and assassin, and whether or not they can qualify as a player depends on the physical magic circuit. And studying in college is to connect all the magic circuits of awakening in the body!"

"The so-called magic circuit refers to the special magic patterns in the human body, once penetrated, it can appear in the human body and greatly strengthen a person's physical fitness. The six magic circuits are in the five senses, limbs, internal organs, bones, brain, and flesh, and to be qualified as a magician, you need to run through six magic circuits, the guardian needs at least three internal organs, bones, and flesh, and the assassin needs at least three senses, limbs, and brain. When judged not to have the qualifications to penetrate these magic circuits, you can't choose the player's specialty, the player is the top combat power, and being able to become a player means the transformation of the entire family. ”

"From the beginning of mankind to the present, the largest force is called the Five Thrones, established by the strongest five players, and they are respected as the Five Kings! And the White King of the Bai Family is the strongest player at present! Yalu, which covers an area of 44.58 million square kilometers, is the birthplace of the Bai Family, and the Bai Family also controls the Bai Family, one of the two major monopoly heavy industry companies in the world, Bai Heavy Industry, no wonder everyone is so in awe of the Bai Family......

Li Xiang kept flipping through the information books, and the records on them were very simple, but they were enough for him to understand the world.

In addition to the players, most of the combat equipment used by most people are steam weapons, and the so-called military department is a worldwide organization directly under Wessex Technology Company and the Catas Zhaofei Committee, the latter two are independent of the five thrones, Wessex Technology is the world's most technological, the most powerful steam technology company, and the Catas Zhaofei Committee is formed by twenty super players who are second only to the five kings and do not belong to the five thrones, and the five thrones are mutually restrained and control human society.

The five thrones have a strong family nature and pay more attention to the player level, while the latter two are more inclined to ordinary people who have good personal strength but have no chance to become players.

And unlike players who often fight calamity outside, the people of the military department are more in charge of human society, and in this sense, the military department and the five thrones complement each other.

From this point of view, the two main development directions that young people can choose from are very clear, and both the Five Thrones and the military department attach great importance to education, after all, it is the fastest and most effective way to train players, and any force will welcome a player to join.

From elementary school to high school, no matter what kind of child or what the family's economic conditions are, Li Xiang can complete these basic education without worry, and then decide the future development path through such a unified entrance examination.

"It seems that this is much more important than I thought. Li Xiang sighed with emotion, this is simply a snowballing life-and-death journey, people who can gradually move up not only change themselves, but also change the fate of their families, and those who are stuck at the bottom will inevitably become fish and meat in an environment of huge external pressure and shortage of resources.

The idea that I wanted to live a quiet life with my sister at the beginning was completely broken.

However, such a very oppressive environment did not make Li Xiang feel afraid, but made him feel an indescribable sense of excitement, he was not himself in his previous life, he lived a lifetime, he had a better mood and ability than others, and in such a troubled world, Li Xiang had the opportunity to reach a higher peak that he had never reached.

Knowing this, it is not surprising that she was named and tested by Chief Examiner Bai Yuhan during the day so sensational, she is a big man from the Bai family, if she favors herself, isn't it an opportunity to ascend to the sky in the eyes of others?

Other peers may be excited, but Li Xiang is okay, he has experienced too many ups and downs, and he will not care about any gains and losses until the last moment.

At this moment, the steam pot where the dumplings were boiling suddenly came out with two columns of air, and the device rang a few times and then stopped.
