Ma Xiaoyao asked casually, but he didn't expect that the answer he got was so amazing... millions of people? What kind of concept is this? There are only so many people in a prefecture-level city, right?
"You're surprised, right?" Zuo Gang chuckled: "When the secret realm was first established, there were only tens of thousands of people here. As time went by, the population of the secret realm continued to increase. Today, thousands of years later, the population has grown.
When it reaches millions, the specific number...I don’t know very well, but there are three million people anyway.”
Ma Xiaoyao secretly grinned. Tens of thousands of people have reproduced millions of people... and they are reproduced in a specific space. This reproduction ability is too strong.
"Millions of people...such a large population...can the secret realm be accommodated?" Li Ming couldn't help but ask.
"Even if millions more people come, the secret realm can still accommodate it." Zuo Gang said with a smile: "The secret realm is very large, and millions of people living here will not feel crowded at all."
"It's unbelievable..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed.
"The wisdom of the ancestors is unquestionable." Zuo Gang said with a smile: "When the ancestors created this secret realm, they considered the problem of population reproduction, so the ancestors made the secret realm as large as possible to make this place
People’s lives are more comfortable.”
"Then...do people here know martial arts?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Of course!" Zuo Gang nodded: "All people practice martial arts here, regardless of gender, age or child. However, due to qualifications, everyone's achievements are different. The most people here are first-level martial artists.
, there are relatively many second-level and third-level warriors, and there are fewer warriors above the fourth-level..." At this point, Zuo Gang paused: "Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, that is, warriors
Levels correspond to changes in positions. Level one warriors can only serve as small soldiers, level two warriors can serve as captains of ten, level three warriors can serve as captains of centurions, level four warriors can serve as captains of thousands, level five warriors can serve as captains of ten thousand, and level six warriors can serve as captains of ten thousand.
Level 1 warriors can serve as generals, level 7 warriors can be granted the title of marquis, level 8 warriors can be granted the title of county king, level 9 warriors can be granted the title of prince directly, level 10 warriors...can compete for the throne, well...that's basically it."
"Tenth-level warriors compete for the throne... Needless to say, if they succeed, what if they fail?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"Failed? There is only one end! That is death!" Zuo Gang replied.
"Death?" Ma Xiaoyao's expression changed: "So cruel?"
"What do you think?" Zuo Gang curled his lips: "No emperor will allow anyone who threatens him to exist. There is a good saying: How can you allow others to snore next to the bed! So, before you are completely sure,
, don’t compete for the throne!”
"Understood." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Then...the prince, the county king, the commander-in-chief...do they have great power?"
"Of course it's big!" Zuo Gang nodded: "Let me tell you, the emperor rarely interferes with the affairs of the secret realm. Almost all affairs are handed over to the princes, princes, and generals. Do you think they have a lot of power?
big?"
"Since they have such great power...can they enter and leave the secret realm freely?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"What are you thinking!" Zuo Gang raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I make it clear to you just now? Except for the inspector, only the emperor can freely enter the secret realm. No one else has this right, even the prince.
Not even the king!"
"The rules here are too unkind!" Ma Xiaoyao said with a sad face.
"Yes! It's just unkind! I told you just now, this is a world where the strong are respected. If you want to be free, you have to work hard to become stronger. The weak have no freedom here.
Zuo Gang said coldly.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I understand, I will work hard to become a strong person."
Li Ming nodded: "Give me enough time, and I will become a strong man!"
"Okay, let me wait and see, I want to see what kind of strong men you can become!" Zuo Gang's tone was full of ridicule. It was obvious that he did not think Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming could become strong men.
In the following time, Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming did not speak again, but obediently followed Zuo Gang to register.
Take the main road, then take the small road, then cross a small bridge, and finally come to the foot of a hill. This hill is artificially piled up. In fact, all the peaks in the secret realm are artificially piled up. The highest peak is
It is hundreds of meters high, with the shortest peak only a dozen meters high. The surface of the peak is covered with trees and vines, and there are ravines washed out by rain in many places.
"The registration office is at the top of the mountain!" Zuo Gang said, then walked up the stone stairs towards the top of the mountain.
Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming hurriedly followed.
More than ten minutes later, the three of them arrived at the top of the mountain. There was only a two-story pavilion on the top of the bare mountain. The pavilion was made of stones. From a distance, it looked like a gorilla roaring up to the sky.
There is a stone plaque hanging on the door frame of the pavilion, with three large characters "Registration Office" engraved on it. Maybe the stone plaque has been around for too long and is often beaten by wind and rain, causing the words on the stone plaque to become a little blurry.
"Where are the people? Come out quickly! There is work to do!" Zuo Gang shouted.
"Who! Who is this! You don't know I'm sleeping!" A man's voice came from the pavilion, and then a disheveled little old man walked out of the pavilion. This little old man was only about 1.6 meters tall.
He is skinny and skinny, his eyes are very small, but his head is quite big, a whole circle bigger than a normal person's head.
"Hey! The sun is shining on your butt, and you're still sleeping? You're so lazy!" Zuo Gang laughed.
"I want to sleep, do you care?" the little old man snorted coldly.
"I'm too lazy to care about you! No, I brought two people from outside, please register them." Zuo Gang pointed at Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming: "They have all reached the level of third-level warriors.
"
"oh?"
The little old man was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming with suspicious eyes: "It's really rare! I didn't expect that there are people outside this era who can reach the level of third-level warriors, and there are two of them all at once..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and register them quickly. After that, I will send them to the military camp." Zuo Gang said impatiently.
"Why are you urging me! If you bring two people from outside, I have to check them, right? You can't just take whatever you say!" The little old man glared at Zuo Gang.
"You...okay, okay, you check, you check whatever you want!" Zuo Gang was a little angry: "I want to see what you can find out!"
The little old man waved to Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming: "Come on, come on, attack me together, let me see your strength."
"Ah?" Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming were stunned immediately.
"Why are you so stunned! Hurry up!" the little old man urged: "After I finish, I have to go back to sleep!"
Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming were hesitant...
"Listen to him, do whatever he asks you to do!" Zuo Gang spoke at this time.
Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming looked at each other, and then rushed towards the little old man together... They rushed quickly and retreated even faster. In the blink of an eye, Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming flew out. If it weren't for Zuo Gang,
With a helping hand from behind, the two of them might have rolled down the top of the mountain.
"My strength is a bit poor... I can barely be considered a third-level warrior..." The little old man smashed his mouth.
Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming's faces were extremely red. It was really embarrassing. The two of them joined forces, but they couldn't catch each other's moves... ugh... it's so embarrassing...
The little old man took out a pen and a pamphlet from his arms: "Tell me, what are your names...age, gender...tell me in detail..." Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming talked while the little old man
While recording: "Okay, registration is over, take the person away quickly."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the military camp." Zuo Gang waved his hand and led Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming down the mountain.
After Zuo Gang and others left, the little old man turned around and returned to the attic to continue sleeping.
…
On the way down the mountain.
Zuo Gang walked in front, followed by Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming.
"The little old man just now is called Niu Maocai, and he is a very despicable villain." Zuo Gang snorted: "Back then, he competed with me for the position of inspector... In order to compare with me, Niu Maocai used a lot of despicable methods behind his back.
His methods almost ruined my reputation..."
After listening to Zuo Gang's words, Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming suddenly showed a look of surprise on their faces. No wonder Zuo Gang had such a bad attitude towards the little old man. It turned out that the two of them had a grudge.
Zuo Gang kept talking and scolded Niu Maocai.
Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming did not express their opinions. No matter it was Zuo Gang or Niu Maocai, they could not afford to offend. Since they could not afford to offend, they should keep their mouths shut and speak less. You must know that there is a saying called "misfortune comes from the mouth."
After many twists and turns, Zuo Gang finally led Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming into a valley. The scenery of this valley was very charming, with tall tall trees, fragrant flowers and plants, and many majestic horseshoes. In addition, in
There are several rows of houses in the middle of the valley.
"Inspector Zuo, why are you here!" A big man in armor came out quickly.
"Master Wanfu, these two people came in from outside. They are both third-level warriors. From now on, they will be handed over to you to manage." Zuo Gang said with a smile.
"Coming in from outside?" The big man glanced at Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming, his expression a little surprised, "I really didn't expect that there are still people coming in from outside... Okay! Leave them to me! I will definitely discipline them well!"
"
"Well, that's it. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." After saying hello to the big man, Zuo Gang turned around and left. Before leaving, Zuo Gang told Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming to stay together in the military camp.
To be honest, if you violate military regulations, you will be beheaded.
"My name is Ding Xiong, and I am the captain of the White Tiger Banner." The big man introduced himself.
"Hello, Mr. Wanfu!" Ma Xiaoyao and Li Ming hurriedly saluted with clasped fists.
