Xu Cheng originally participated in the virtual fighting competition in order to get rid of the hidden dangers left in his body. To become a Sky Knight, he knew that this road was extremely difficult at that time. But he still embarked on this road without hesitation.
At that time, the threshold for special recruitment to become a Sky Knight was very high, and one needed to reach the top 32 in the top virtual fighting competition. This meant that one had to defeat those hundreds of thousands of people in a fifth-level fighting competition.
Only strong players can advance to this point.
At that time, she knew very well that it was almost impossible for her to achieve this level. In terms of talent, he was much worse than other players.
What a genius might learn by watching it once, he needs to practice hundreds of times before he can learn it.
When he was in his first turn, he challenged the trial instructors at the training ground again and again, and was beaten down by the instructors again and again. It took him several years in the virtual world to learn advanced skills such as shield and counterattack. Relying on countless
After several attempts, he defeated the ultimate trial of level one.
Although this brought him a large number of fans and made him unbeatable at the first level for a time, it also made him realize his talent. Compared with those talented geniuses, his talent is too weak.
Even if you create the sage's shadow transformation and defeat the projection left by Yak, you will only defeat Yak from many years ago. If you encounter Yak at a higher speed, he will still be the same person.
A crushed existence.
But fortunately, he didn't care about failure, even if the subsequent journey became more and more difficult, and the number of failures increased more and more after fighting again and again. Even the training in the training ground brought him less and less improvement.
But he still didn't give up, even though he knew it was almost impossible for him to make it to the top 32. He still did this
In this way, he went from rank one to rank five, all the way from ordinary rank to rank five grandmaster rank, and entered the national ranking list. Although his ranking is still outside of 10,000. Even with constant competition
, it is very difficult to continuously train and improve the ranking, but his efforts finally paid off.
The goal I once set was to be specially recruited to become a Sky Knight.
At that time, only those who reached the top 32 could qualify, because at that time the productivity of the entire country could only support so many special recruitment quotas.
But now, the environment has changed. Xu Cheng has made it to the national rankings through his own efforts, and by reaching this level, he is already qualified to sign up for regular Sky Knight training.
Although he did not achieve the goal he had set, he relied on being down-to-earth and moving step by step towards his previous goal. He regained a new life and won himself the opportunity to become a knight in the sky.
The difficulty of this opportunity is constantly decreasing as time goes by and as the national strength increases, it is like running in both directions. But for him personally, all this is like a dream.
Pacing around the room, Xu Cheng still couldn't calm down his heart. The old injuries on his body have not been completely repaired so far. He forcibly unlocked the gene lock to save people, and because he was taking refuge underground
The lack of adequate medical facilities to rescue him left huge hidden dangers in his body.
It was almost an incurable disease before. If it weren't for the recent trade in Baohuangtian carried out by the Shanhe Republic, a large number of rare materials and precious Gu insects could be obtained through trade. Industrial upgrades in all aspects have greatly improved the domestic technological level.
, I am afraid it will take longer to resolve his stubborn illness.
Dong Dong Dong, the door was knocked. Xu Cheng, who woke up early in the morning, nervously opened the door and saw a staff member wearing a gray uniform standing at his door with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Comrade Xu Cheng. I have watched your competition before and watched the video of your training. It was very exciting. I never thought I would have the opportunity to see you in real life."
Xu Cheng was a little overwhelmed by the other party's enthusiasm.
"Come with us. In fact, you don't need to be nervous. You are now a typical person who works hard to achieve success. The country will spare no effort to find a way to cure you. This also sets an example for those who come after you."
"Thank you!" Xu Cheng felt his heart beating faster and faster, even faster than during the most difficult competition: "I can really have the same Dao Marks and Gu Insects as in the virtual world.
?”
"Of course. If it was a few months ago, we wouldn't have dared to guarantee this. After all, in the virtual world, there are many schools that use Gu insects and Dao marks that are quite rare in southern Xinjiang.
Sometimes, in order to achieve certain tactical purposes, quite unpopular Gu insects are often used. Even Gu insects that are almost extinct are used.
A few months ago we would have persuaded everyone to replace these unpopular configurations, but now there is no need to do so.
Foreign trade has made domestic reserves richer. Basically, the Gu insects and Dao marks you can find in the virtual world have quite abundant reserves in reality.
We have investigated the configurations you use in the virtual world, and they are all of a very basic type, following a very basic and orthodox path. This is not difficult for us. It is also a good thing for you.
Because what you have learned before is quite orthodox fighting methods, which are very consistent with the training of the future Sky Knights. I believe you can quickly integrate into the new group."
Xu Cheng followed the staff onto the floating car and quickly shuttled through the air. In an instant, he was thousands of miles away, in a scientific research and medical department.
And here he also saw an acquaintance. Although he had never met him in the real world, he had met him several times in the virtual world. In the virtual fighting competition, he had also fought several times.
It was Tao Chengyu who was sitting in the waiting area waiting. The other person didn't know him, but he knew the other person because in the virtual fighting competition, the fight between them took place in the practice room.
Every master will leave his own projection in the practice room, and newcomers will face these projections when practicing. As long as they can defeat the projection, it basically means that they have successfully learned this move.
Tao Chengyu is a master in the officer system. When he has the best results, he can rank within a thousand. In the virtual fighting competition, he is a much more famous star than Xu Cheng. However, at this moment, he looks like
He didn't have any airs of a celebrity, but instead took the initiative to chat with Xu Cheng.
"Did you also come here for surgery to implant Dao marks? I see that many people have been surgically implanting Dao marks recently. It seems to be a one-to-one fulfillment of the configuration in the virtual world."
"Yes, anyone who can make it into the rankings now has this opportunity, but if you don't sign up for Sky Knight, you have to pay for this kind of surgery yourself. The cost is actually quite expensive, and you have to save for many years.
Are seniors also here to implant Dao Marks? I have met seniors several times in the training ground before, and I learned many of my unique skills from seniors." Xu Cheng is like an ordinary person meeting his favorite star.
Generally excited.
"I came here to make some adjustments to the Dao marks on my body. When I was training before, I found that the configuration on my body still has some flaws. There is a gap between the real world and the virtual world after all, so some of the Dao marks on my body need to be removed and redone.
.
In fact, I am not a senior. Everyone joined the country at the same time. How can there be any seniors or juniors? Let me talk about you. From the look of you, you should be preparing to become a Sky Knight. Have you ever thought about becoming a Sky Knight?
What to do?”
Xu Cheng scratched his head: "I actually didn't think about it. I just envied the Sky Knights from the first time I saw them. At that time, they were flying in the sky, fighting against the first invading Gu Immortal. I was very envious at that time.
Envy, if I could be as powerful as them, I could easily protect my loved ones around me.
Friends, I was still very weak at that time. Even the children who lived in the same residential area as us had to risk their lives and almost died to save them. At that time, I was thinking about becoming a knight in the sky.
As for what to do after becoming a Sky Knight? Actually, I don’t know much about it myself.”
Tao Chengyu smiled and said: "Everyone is similar. Sometimes after realizing their dreams, they feel a little confused. Just like me. My background and background at the time were actually not very good. When I first joined the Shanhe Republic, I was still a little confused.
I concealed my identity originally just for revenge, but later I found out that my former enemies were actually vulnerable. I had completed my revenge before I knew it. At that time, I was very confused and didn't know what to do next."
"What about now?" Xu Cheng felt that the other party was not at a loss about the future.
"Now... I just want to live my own life well and let the people around me live such a life. I don't have any lofty ambitions or ambitions, but I am also a very greedy person. Now we have got,
I will hold on tightly and never let go. Okay, I won’t tell you anymore, it’s my turn to have the surgery."
A summons came from the screen. The operation had been scheduled for Tao Chengyu, and Xu Chengza was still thinking about the meaning of his life. When his dream came true, there would always be a period of confusion, but he vaguely felt that he should still have something he wanted to do.
of things.
The difficult life of more than ten years ago now looks back like a dream. It seems to be extremely far away. The memory has gradually become blurred, but the hardship has been deeply engraved in his heart.
Now it seems that what is most unacceptable to him is not the material lack, nor the physical exhaustion. Instead, it is the kind of mental oppression, the kind of mental oppression of being inferior to others all the time, and being an inferior person.
"That guy just now should be considered a big shot in the country." Xu Cheng opened the mobile terminal he carried with him. He searched Tao Chengyu carefully and found out that he had not only performed well in virtual fighting competitions but also
Ranking, in reality, he is already a division commander-level officer. There are hundreds of officers under his leadership alone, and he is an out-and-out big shot.
If I had seen such a person in the past, I probably wouldn't have been able to raise my head. But now, it is impossible to make him lower his head or kneel down again.
Although Xu Cheng doesn't pay much attention to politics, he vaguely feels that the existence of the Republic of Mountains and Rivers is incompatible with the entire world. Maybe becoming a Heavenly Knight is not a wise choice now. Maybe there will be one in the near future.
A war broke out and he had to go to the front line. But he still sat here, still excitedly waiting for the operation to come. Some people cannot kneel down once they stand up.
…
At Shanhe University, the highest institution of the Shanhe Republic, Lin Dong, wearing a bachelor's uniform, stood in front of the camera with a group of classmates. As the photographer counted down, he and other students excitedly jumped into the air and threw their hats.
Half empty.
Pressing the shutter button permanently recorded this moment and turned it into a graduation photo for each of them.
"I finally came back with my own strength." Lin Dong watched the hat wave in mid-air and fall back into his hand, feeling that reality was like a dream.
I used to be just an ordinary villager, until I was detected to have first-class qualifications. Only then did my destiny change.
After his qualifications were tested at that time, he and his family did not hesitate to let him join the nearest family. He became a family member with a foreign surname. Even if he could not become a family member with a foreign surname based on his excellent qualifications, he would like to do so in the future.
You can also have a good future.
But things are fickle. He just joined the family and saw it. The family was destroyed by the Production and Construction Corps. He almost became a prisoner. The originally proud family became the object of rejection by everyone. The contrast between reality and dreams
. His heart was almost twisted, and the legendary Gu worm, Jealousy Gu, was condensed in his body. With this Gu worm, he rose to prominence and should have once again reached the peak of his life. But in the end, his secret was exposed. The Gu worm was inexplicably lost.
.
He is no longer qualified to stay in the highest institution of higher education in the Republic of Mountains and Rivers. Almost all the talents and knowledge he once stole have disappeared.
However, he did not meet an irreversible end. To this day, he still remembers what Lan Nuo once said to him: "The republic is so big that it cannot tolerate even one jealousy Gu." Then he actually refined one for him.
Brand new jealousy Gu.
He could have relied on this Gu worm to return to the top and continue to steal other people's knowledge and talents. But he met someone who needed this Gu worm more. So he made a decision that he could not even imagine.
A Gu insect was sent out, but now he himself feels dreamy
However, he actually relied on his own ability and hard work. Step by step, he reached his current level and returned to the highest university in the Shanhe Republic. He also completed his studies here and successfully graduated. He became the top student in the Republic.
One of the outstanding talents.
Looking back at the past at this moment, the first-class qualification that he was most proud of now seems so ordinary. But it still bears the traces of time, like a faded old photo, recorded
His youthful childhood made him smile knowingly at his immature self.
