Chapter 1 The future is bleak
Tiny white lightning flashed through the dark clouds, raindrops fell on the hands of the clock that turned at the highest point of the city church, and the small particles of unburned coal, mixed with pungent gases, were carried by the rain and fell to the ground, forming black traces on the wide stone streets.
Women in hats sit in carriages, they chase passion and fashion, the black lace that extends to the little arms and the white delicacy of the neck form a sensual and seductive seduction.
These noble ladies who have a luxurious life are the same as the beggars and commoners on the roadside, and they also feel a little joy in their hearts when the heavy rain falls, but the difference is that the beggars and commoners are more full of unknown and urgency about the life after the rain, and the noblewomen have more of a secret chase and pleasure at this time, and the rest of the matter is just to go with the flow by virtue of the use of power and money.
At this time, a boy wearing a beret standing under a bookstore watched the carriages and pedestrians passing by quickly, he had black hair and dark eyes, and he thought about people's movements with his limited knowledge and experience.
This is the Franco-Austrian Alliance, a country known for its commercial development, also known as the Business Alliance.
As the bell at the top of the church spread low and melodious, a little candlelight swayed slightly in the ashram.
The white-haired old man opened his eyes, and Michel Scott stood up and looked out the window.
He was the only old man in this small border town who was revered as an astrologer, and his eyes clearly revealed a little silver light, and he muttered a few obscure words in his mouth.
There were many powerful nobles who colluded with this good-looking old man for many interests, including money, beauty, fame, and things unimaginable to the common people.
Some aristocratic women, in their private interactions, all admired the old man, who was still healthy and active. Michelle Scott's brow furrowed, and he sat down......
The name of this bookstore is the Knowledge Bookstore, and it sells almost nothing to do with knowledge, and it is a win-win project between a short and fat middle-aged man who is good at running and a teacher or teachers in various primary and secondary schools in the Rhine.
Some students will be amazed to meet here, and then take away some of the knowledge carriers that are full of cheapness that are printed in batches.
Lin Luowen's somewhat thin body watched the rain line gradually disappear, and seemed to feel the gaze on his back, he turned to look at the man lying on the chair with fat short legs.
A look of interest in the corner of the man's eyes quietly disappeared, and he said, "Go back." The boy nodded and disappeared around the corner.
His gait is light, like a cautious kitten, he reduces his presence and threat, but also reduces the expenditure of energy and delays the arrival of hunger. Although at this time he had already digested his lunch to the fullest and felt hungry.
The idea that food is hard to come by is not only in his mind, but also deeply rooted in the general public.
A little yellow light came, and he opened the curtain, revealing the aroma of food in the room.
After dinner, he climbed the stairs into his isolated two-story cabin, his hands on the back of his head and his gaze at the ceiling, only a faint moonlight kept the room from being completely dark.
He recalled what his mother had said at dinner, and that his high school career was coming to an end in a month, and at the age of sixteen, he felt dizzy and dazed.
He had a full month to think about his future, but he did not have the conditions to join the army or enter the university, did he really want to be a steam mechanic like his father? He was not a fan of the various steam machines that played an important role in the productive forces of this era.
He felt a pang of distress, and then a fire burned in his heart. In this era where strength is respected, only with power can we have the right to speak.
In the first class of every twelve-year-old boy who enters middle school, he will be taught how to polish the human body's meta-point, and only by igniting the first meta-point in the brain can it be regarded as a real entry.
However, in the next four years of junior high school and high school career, there are not many people who can ignite the first meta point.
The reason for this is not only that polishing the meta point requires excellent mental power to carry out persistent visualization and polishing, but also that a large amount of food energy is needed to support the consumption of the polishing meta point.
When the replenishment rate of energy is slower than the energy escape rate of the elemental point, even if you have a gifted spiritual qualification, you will not be able to ignite the first elemental point.
After igniting the first meta point, the energy on the meta point will improve the body, and the energy escape rate of the meta point will decrease significantly.
Ignite the first meta point, also known as a first-level warrior, ignite three to four meta points to become a second-level warrior, five to eight meta points to become a third-level warrior, nine to sixteen to a fourth-level war division, and so on, until 256 yuan points are ignited to become the pinnacle of the eighth-level sky battle division......
Lin Luowen's body sat up and polished the half-slightly shining yuan point in his mind, and in this way he polished it for two hours, and then he felt a burst of hunger coming, and lay down a little desperately and helplessly......
Feeling his shoulders being pushed, Lin Luowen opened his eyes a little weakly.
The skinny black boy in front of him was called Parr, he had curled brown hair, and a unique hoarse voice came: "Lowan, did something bad again last night?" The black circles and bloodshot eyes are almost draining you. ”
He made a lewd gesture as he spoke. Parr has a stupid naivety.
Lin Luowen smiled reluctantly. He looked up and saw a tall man with a handsome face.
Although his demeanor was at odds with his inner thoughts and his expression was slightly distorted, there were many girls in his class who were obsessed with Cyrus. Out of the corner of his eye, Cyrus looked at the door of the classroom, and a girl with blond hair came in from the outside, full of youthful sunshine.
Fina had a delicate and fair face, and her proud figure loomed under her well-dressed clothes, which made her full of charm. Parr rubbed his shoulders against Lin Rowan and smiled mysteriously at him.
Lin Luowen touched his nose, he clearly saw Cyrus staring at him with a somewhat hateful gaze, while Fina sat next to Lin Luowen with some smile and banter.
She seemed a little surprised by the boy's weakness.
The boy had a hard time understanding the bizarre thoughts of a well-funded young girl. It was the first day of high school, and Fina had already made many adolescent teenagers feel excited, and Cyrus was also not stingy with his feelings, but Fina chose a civilian boy with black hair and black eyes as her tablemate.
This made Lin Luowen suffer a lot of differential treatment and emotional hatred and dissatisfaction.
However, there is only one precious benefit. Fina took out a piece of bread wrapped in oiled paper from her backpack and put it on Lin Luowen's desk, she said, "Eat quickly, this time is still a month away." ”
Lin Luowen ignored her sigh that concealed malice or pity, and just stuffed the bread into his stomach, like a person who hadn't eaten a full meal for a long time.
It was this tiny supply that made his yuan point polished to nearly half of the extent, and the assets with a monthly salary of fifteen copper in the bookstore could only buy three such "noble" loaves of bread, which also made Lin Luowen secretly sigh at the exploitation methods of the short and fat middle-aged man.
There were fifty-two students in the class, but only twelve ignited the first element, all of them children from wealthy families.
It is said that as early as a year ago, this Fina next to her ignited two yuan points, and that Cyrus ignited three yuan points and became a second-level warrior.
Maybe it was because of eating a piece of bread that the burning pain in the stomach was somewhat relieved, Lin Luowen's nervous face relaxed, and he said to Fina who was drinking honey water with a smile: "Thank you!" ”
Fina licked a little bit of water at the corner of her mouth with her tongue, and she smiled, like the sun that wasn't dazzling at dusk.
A pair of palms with fat knuckles landed on the side of Lin Luowen's desk, and his small eyes revealed shrewdness. So Lin Luowen followed him to the windowsill.
This is Heluo, he has a rare fat body, his father is a nouveau riche who runs a health care product company and is looked down upon by aristocratic lords, perhaps because of this, Heluo's appetite is beyond Lin Luowen's imagination, but his mental power qualifications make it not ignite the yuan point.
"Loewen, do you have a plan for the future?" He Luo pretended to look out the window deeply, as if he had already expected Lin Luowen's silence, and he threw out his olive branch.
"As one of my friends, how about following me in the future?"
Lin Luowen seemed to imagine the scene of Horo holding something in one hand and some kind of oily substance in the other.
"I might have to follow my dad to the factory to learn how to repair machinery," he said. ”
Horo nodded, and went back to find his next partner.
The ordinary people living in the Rhine seem to have made various life choices at this moment, while the powerful and noble heirs look up to the bright gates, as if they are already imagining their future, unaware that the cruelty of blood and fire is beyond their imagination.
As church bells rang, students walked out of the campus. Lin Luowen breathed in some pungent air, and walked down a street with a low head, and in front of him was the Rhine City Police Office.
Above the two swords is a red rose, and a round badge with gold as the background color hangs high above the police office building.
Lin Luowen casually glanced at the wanted list on the wall, and under each huge black and white head, there was a corresponding name and reason for wanting. Lin Luowen's pupils shrank, and he felt a mental tremor, and it was the evil and gloomy expression on the portrait of the most wanted person that disturbed him.
