Chapter 111 Chapter 407 Premonition

Chapter 111 Chapter 4.07 Premonition

In the year 1102 of the Dangxing calendar, when the ordinary Wei Keng was thinking about his tax rate, some people holding swords were about to reach the top.

At this time, although it was nine o'clock in the morning and the sun had already risen, there was still no sunlight on the streets under the surrounding hundreds of meters of buildings, and the street lights were still on. At this time, even if you look up at the sky, you can't see anything except the dazzling lights radiating from the buildings.

The sky and the sun do not belong to ordinary citizens of Oak City.

…

In the second ring of Oak City, the Oak City Swordsman Academy is holding a graduation competition.

On the top of four 600-meter-high buildings, circular energy platforms rise up, vertically upward for 500 meters and then spread out, pulling up energy interfaces one by one, and delineating a huge space with a total volume of more than one cubic kilometer.

Such energy interfaces maintained by technology are like constructing a three-dimensional sword fighting area above the city.

If you look at this panorama from a higher sky, the seats on the top of the buildings around the cubic space are arranged like dust in front of the buildings. As the city's upper class sits down, the seats are immediately suspended in the air, allowing them to enjoy the best view. (Except for those who are afraid of heights and dare not play the bungee jumping machine.)

On the top of the four base buildings in this three-dimensional space, swordsmen dressed in their team's combat uniforms and lined up in rows every 20 meters.

As swordsmen in the technological age, their combat uniforms are not extra floating, but close-fitting, practical, and full of technology.

In fact, the style of these tight-fitting swordsman costumes with all-ceramic shells comes from the clothes of the combat team on the spaceship of the interstellar civilization thousands of years ago. The shape is slim and the surface is clean. Of course, the functions of optical invisibility and temporary energy shields have been deleted because they are not needed in the new era.

The swordsman costumes on the four buildings are roughly the same, but the logos on the chests of each group are different, namely oak leaves, acorns, oak flowers, and a tree ring pattern that looks like an eye.

…

If four months ago, the "Sword Apprentice Competition" where the civilians in the city collectively reveled was only "Xia Li" and "Ba Ren", the current "Swordsman Competition" is the "Yang Chun" and "Shirayuki" that the upper echelons of Oak City pay attention to.

So, to put it simply: the sword apprentices who were over 29 to 45 years old before were competing for the positions of public security forces in the city, and they were the forces that managed the civilians in the city. So the civilians paid close attention to the selection of these "local sages".

The current swordsmen are reserve officers who participate in the city's external strikes.

The teenage students enrolled in the Swordsman Academy are all very promising seedlings among the sword apprentices, but even so, after six years of careful training, there are not many young people who can reach the swordsman level.

Such academy schools, due to their strong talents, were included in the upper-level training when they were young, lacked practical experience, and were arrogant, so Oak City asked each school to hold an internal competition before the general competition.

…

The one cubic kilometer energy space is very soundproof. In the battle chamber, when the referee's voice was like a bell, there was no sound outside the tall buildings.

Deep in the building, those who could only see a slit in the sky when they looked up had no idea of ​​the actions in the sky at a height of several hundred meters.

Perhaps confusion is a kind of happiness.

Wei Keng, who was carrying the vegetables he had just purchased to the car, raised his head with a "worry".

In the 21st century, no one can walk calmly downstairs where objects fall from high altitudes. Similarly, Master Wei also feels uncomfortable with people brandishing swords and guns hundreds of meters above his head.

A swordsman seems to be insignificant to this world, but Wei Keng inferred from the intensity of his space twist that if calculated according to the crack effect of the real sword space, he can cut a building with one sword.

【Qin Xiaohan in the space bubble was not worried about this matter: the people fighting above were swordsmen, and swordsmen can only use light blades. The lethality of light blades is at most light armor. The real sword can only be mastered by swordsmen. My time traveler currently thinks of himself as a swordsman, but he has just mastered the ability of space cracking, but has not yet raised his level to a higher level, so he uses his own standards to bring swordsmen into the battle, which is wrong. 】

Having hurriedly gotten out of the car, Wei Keng sighed with worry: "It's time for me to go."

Qin Xiaohan popped up a system pop-up window in Wei Keng's perspective: "You have to take out that real sword, don't delay any longer."

Wei Keng: "I'll go in the evening." After saying this, he temporarily bypassed the robot checking in front, and at the same time did not let it take pictures.

When the robot sounded the alarm, he slapped the robot's back, and the speaker system was temporarily short-circuited. When it was restored a few minutes later, Master Wei Keng had disappeared. The lights on the street were dim, and suspended vehicles came and went in the sky.

In the monitoring space, Qin Xiaohan knew that Wei Keng was just perfunctory, because Wei Keng was recently studying the "no sword" firepower tactics.

Qin Xiaohan held his chin and tapped his cheeks with his fingers. "How much of his mind can be used for what I said?"

...

When Wei Keng returned to the restaurant where he worked and asked for leave, the ring battle above the second ring of Oak City had reached a white-hot stage.

The original concept of "fruit, leaves, flowers, and branches are of the same spirit and connected to the branches" of Oak Academy. In the face of the generous rewards of the finals and the arrogant spirit of the young swordsmen to compete for strength and victory, it became a broken window paper.

The top students competed with each other in the space jump. The entire 600-meter-high platform was filled with their constantly flashing figures.

During the competition, the training swords used were limited in power and could not cause serious damage. However, a young and energetic swordsman deliberately used space fluctuations to intercept the light energy. After accumulating enough energy, it instantly burst out hundreds of times to burn the target.

In the Leaf Group, Meng Haozhan's training sword had several "failures" and accidentally injured several people. Then he asked to exchange the opponent's sword with an "innocent look".

It must be said that this kind of space interception and storage of light energy is a very high-end skill, which belongs to the special skill of the Oak City Lord's family.

However, arrogance has a price to pay. Just when he thought no one would challenge him, a young swordsman from the "Fruit" group also appeared.

Jiao Moxing, appeared. This is a dark horse that has risen this year. After he got the sword, he also emitted a powerful beam of light with the space storage effect.

Next, the two of them flashed and burned back and forth in space.

In the end, Meng Haozhan was too panicked and emitted too many times, so that the training lightsaber in his hand smoked. At the moment of burning his hand, Meng Haozhan was hit in the chest by Jiao Moxing's sword, and he screamed and fell down.

In fact, the power of the last sword was not great, and it only burned Meng Haozhan's chest. So to use a popular saying: "It is not very harmful, but very insulting."

However, when Meng Haozhan was angry. The referee who had been watching the show slowly just now announced the end of the game.

The referee glanced at Meng Haozhan and seemed to say something to him. After listening, Meng Haozhan suddenly became honest, and then looked towards the Oak Building in the distance.

He could cheat because the referee turned a blind eye. And just now, it was obvious that both sides were cheating, but the referee still turned a blind eye. This obviously means that there are eyes watching from above.

...

In the fortress on the top floor of the towering Oak Building, Meng Haozhan lowered his head.

The city lord looked at his nephew and sneered angrily: "What happened today? The sword in your hand is always broken?"

Meng Haozhan: "Yes, this"

The city lord coldly rebuked: "This is not your fault, right?"

After a few seconds, Meng Haozhan did not answer.

The city lord grinned and said: "Then you should not blame others. You are clever and inferior to others. You still have the nerve to take things out of the space ring!"

Meng Haozhan: "Uncle, I--"

He was trembling with fear.

[In this era, equipment such as space rings is like mobile phone software in the 21st century. Parents can remotely understand what their children want to do].

The city lord slammed the table: "Where is the mistake? Do you need me to point it out? For a woman, your prestige? Your tolerance?"

...

After Meng Haozhan retreated. The judge walked in, and the swordsman stood in a fixed position in the room, waiting to be questioned.

City Lord: "You came at the right time. Have you arranged it?"

Swordsman: "I have arranged it. I have talked to him (Jiaomoxing) and he agreed to go to the 38th Mineral Star for a period of service."

City Lord: "Well, good, give him three more sword selection rights."

Swordsman, took the order and left.

The city lord was the only one left in the room.

Although he was angry at his nephews for not fighting, he still had to take care of them.

As a big man, taking care of them does not necessarily mean intervening in the conflict between teenagers and suppressing the other party.

Jiaomoxing is a dark horse, so just do him a favor and give him a broader stage.

It's just that every move of a city lord has an impact on the entire city.

Sending swordsmen to develop outer space does not mean sending only one person. It requires a large number of maintenance workers, team drivers, and managers. In short, the basic personnel matched for swordsmen are about thousands of people. And space exploration will not be arranged for a single swordsman, but a wave will be arranged.

…

At the same time, six kilometers away, on the 58th floor of the Ecological Park Building, in the evening when no one was paying attention, the wires of several cameras were first damaged, and then a big tree in the park made a "pop" sound of bamboo popping, and a real sword in a scabbard was taken out from the trunk of this 500-year-old tree. Then, the burst trunk merged under the stress, and the lines of the camera were twisted and installed by space.

This sword-taking operation was completed silently.

After flashing to a safe area, Wei Keng took the time to look at the sword he was holding, and saw only the words "342 years of the Dangxing calendar" written on the white and prismatic scabbard.

Wei Keng: "Uh, this thing looks like an antique?"

System: "This sword is the first batch of experimental swords developed by researchers from Zimu Star based on space phenomena after the Xinghai civilization traveled through time and chaos just ended."

Wei Keng: "Oh, the experimental product is inevitably defective, so the distance of the edge does not exceed 60 meters."

System: "From the perspective of nano stacking, the stacking is very perfect, but."

The system opened the schematic diagram, that is, the stacking system on this sword is not coherent, but is artificially divided into multiple sections. As for the effect of the ejection edge, it is indeed 60 meters, but 70 or 80 sword edges are emitted at a time.

Wei Keng: "This?" When I saw the effect of the exploded thorn ball on the demonstration diagram, I couldn't help but feel a little weird.

System: "When designing, there is a firepower density thinking. But the development of real swords in the later period is the range route. Of course, there is a pattern to solve this problem in your current thinking."

[The system knows that Wei Keng is testing a skill that only some warriors can master: flashing multiple space nodes at the same time, so that the space rift (sword light) that can only be extended once can flash seven or eight times along the nodes like the station to reach the end that he can travel through at one time, which is five kilometers away. ]

Wei Keng: "Oh, I see." He didn't have much interest, because Wei Keng had his own experimental steps for that plan.

System: "As for this sword, the reason why it was hidden in the tree was that after the test, when the experimenters were cleaning up the inventory, the thieves deliberately hid these items in the big tree when they tried to smuggle them out, but then forgot about it (just like a woodpecker hiding oak fruit). When the Oak City Ecological Park was expanded and needed ancient trees, it remained here.

Not paying attention to the system stimulated by the sword light, these secret histories made Wei Keng sigh.

This is just like in the 21st century, parents bought Yilin and readers asked their school-age selves to improve their writing skills, but they ended up reading the joke page with relish.

...

Qin Xiaohan in the space bubble was very helpless. In fact, she had many tasks waiting to be released.

For example, today, Wei Keng avoided the swordsman competition. The horn grinding star that beat up the city lord's nephew is very special and needs to be explored urgently.

At present, the Eastern Space Administration has observed that his rise is probabilistic in the "empty twist plane",

that is, every time the Eastern Space Administration sends people to this timeline, , not necessarily encountering his rise.

Most of the time, he is just an ordinary swordsman, but in a few timelines, he suddenly becomes enlightened, his swordsmanship grows rapidly, his comprehension of space is excellent, and he always awakens to the level of sword master above the sword master.

At present, it can be speculated that this is the cross-interference of the adjacent historical line.

After the first plane war, there was technology diffusion on the earth in some planes.

On some planes, some personnel of the Earth Spacetime Administration tested the use of resources in the area to make tunnels "cross-dimensional intelligent systems" (commonly known as systems). These crossing systems are now spreading out in the different planes and are more difficult to manage.

Now only by finding that plane area can we 100% separate the timeline of the rise of Jiaomoxing.

Of course, combined with the current situation of the main world in plane exploration, this may be another system deliberately released by another spacetime administration in another historical area of ​​the empty twist plane.

Now Wei Keng is lucky to encounter the timeline of the rise of Jiaomoxing, but? ?

Qin Xiaohan: "Assign him a task? Oh, forget it, he has done a weird job in the main line tasks. "

…

The problems that other time travelers encounter in the swordsman stage are provocations from old geniuses and conflicts between swordsman groups. And what troubles are Wei Keng, who is stuck in the novice stage, facing now?

Some recruitment notices have been posted on the streets, and some recruitment quotas are allocated on each street.

The current outer space exploration of Zimu Star requires ordinary people, just like the consumption of sailors in the great voyages of the Middle Ages. There will always be a 10% or even 30% chance of death.

There are many reasons for death, which can be explosions during mining, gas leaks, etc. , or the oxygen system on his back leaked. Of course, it is more likely that he violated his superiors and was used to establish his authority.

The consensus reached by morality and rationality is often the mode of operation of a large society.

In a small society with only dozens or thousands of people, deterrence is often more effective. In space, from the highest leading swordsman to the middle-level management, they will kill decisively.

…

At Shengbanzhao Restaurant (where Wei Keng is.)

The sergeant who came to arrest Ding weighed the money in his hand, "You must hand over someone in your restaurant. For ten years, no one has ever joined the army here. It's unacceptable."

The owner of the restaurant looked embarrassed.

The sergeant smiled strangely: "Is it still necessary? Do you want me to teach you how to do it? "He tapped the "relatives" column on the conscription document.

The restaurant owner seemed to have been enlightened and nodded quickly: "I have relatives, I have relatives." (If you don't have this, you can make one within a hundred days.)

The sergeant tapped the owner's belly with the back of his hand: "Hey, isn't that right? Spend some money and find someone to take over, and you can have another ten years of peace and stability."
