Chapter 3 A Sad World (Thanks to the leader of Determined Lettuce)
Walking out of the giant dome hall for admissions, the sky outside was gloomy, and thin raindrops continued to fall from the dark clouds, hitting the black square and causing a splash of water.
call--
The cold wind blew by, and a little rain fell on Heshia's body, and a cold feeling came from her skin.
"This kind of weather..."
Hesia looked at the rainy world outside, standing with many students who had just come out.
If it is ordinary rainwater, with today's technology and tools, there is no need to be afraid, but the rainwater on the planet Jade Skirt is not, especially the 26 districts in the north, which will be more or less affected by this corrosive rainwater.
The reason why the admission hall has an edged spar dome is to resist this corrosive rainwater. If it were metal or common concrete, it would probably be dilapidated within a few years, and then the safety would be in jeopardy.
Throughout the year, during the rainy season from April to May, the rainwater on the planet is very toxic, but from June to August, the toxicity is slowly diluted and the corrosiveness is greatly weakened. At that time, no rainproof equipment is needed, and it can be directly
Walking in the rain.
What should I do? Should I rent a car? It feels so expensive, but there seems to be no other choice, Heshia thought in her mind.
Although her living expenses are not much, her income is basically non-existent, so she has to save money and spend everything. Fortunately, now that she has graduated from junior high school and entered high school, she can do some simple jobs to make money.
After hesitating for a while, Heshia, like other students, booked a floating taxi using her personal terminal and waited patiently.
The gray rain curtain falls on the world in front of you, falling on the ground, dome, and steel structure, hitting different water splashes, mixed with water vapor and coldness and constantly blowing with the wind. Although I know that rainwater is somewhat toxic, this kind of noise
The silence in the room still made Heshia feel a touch of happiness.
I am about to become an adult and can do many things in the future.
"Hey~ Hesia~"
Just as the gray-haired girl was standing in front of the rain curtain waiting, a familiar voice came from behind.
This is?
Heshia turned around and saw three girls walking towards her. They were wearing the same student uniforms as the girls, and they were also classmates in her junior high school class.
"Did you come alone, Hesia?" One of the outgoing girls with short hair came over and patted Hesia on the shoulder.
"Uh, yes." Hesia looked like a bird, a little timid and nervous.
Timid, introverted, and socially fearful, these are probably the labels that leave the deepest impression on others about her.
"Ah haha, you are quite brave,"
The girl smiled, and then the four of them stood together and talked about today's assessment.
"Clara, Milly, how did you do in the exam?" the short-haired girl asked the other two classmates.
"I feel like I can do it. I did a dance and the teacher was dumbfounded." A girl wearing an avant-garde navel-baring dress gestured.
"Are you planning to debut as an idol in the future?"
"Of course, you can make a lot of money by being an idol, and there are countless men giving me gold coins. This kind of life is cool and unrestrained. I don't want to do that kind of rigid job."
"Hey, that's great. Clara will become a big star in the future, but don't forget about us. Then she will join you."
"Where's Millie?"
"I took the Sreb Academy exam, I should be able to pass it." Sreb Academy is a school that specializes in medicine-related professions, and the school is dominated by tidal sequences.
"Milly is humble again. Many of your elders are in pharmaceutical companies. The road ahead is paved."
"There." Although she didn't admit it much, the smile and pride on the girl's face couldn't be hidden.
The short-haired girl smiled and talked to her two classmates. This skillful speaking and social skills made the gray-haired girl next to her envious.
"What about Lina?"
Finally, the gray-haired girl next to her could not help but whisper. She had been sitting at the same table with Lina for a while before, so she was familiar with her and was not as scared as other classmates.
"I - I'll talk about it later, let's talk about you first, Hesia." Lina deliberately let it slip.
"I...I applied for Irene Academy. I have been preparing for a long time. Maybe I can pass this time." The girl hesitated a little, but still did not say anything about applying for Edes Academy. After all, this seemed too overestimating her abilities.
"Irene Academy is not bad. I remember that when you were in the second year of junior high school, you were reading medical-related information. You should start preparing then. You are indeed a good student, Heshia."
Eileen Academy is a mid-ranking college in the North Seventh District. It mainly trains doctors and nurses and other professions. However, if you really want to become a doctor, you must go to college. If you just graduate from high school, then you can only go to college.
Become a nurse.
"Irene Academy, it's okay." Milly muttered in her mouth, seeming a little disdainful and a little jealous.
Payin City, where the four of them live, is not a big city, and the teaching quality of the junior high schools there is also very poor. Even the students with the best grades in the class are enviable to be able to enter a middle-ranked high school in the North Seventh District.
Something happened.
"By the way, have you heard about Tiffin?" Clara said suddenly.
"I don't know what happened to her."
"She found a boyfriend." Clara said in an exaggerated tone.
"This doesn't seem too strange." Lina held up the hair beside her ears with her hand.
In today's era, information networks are developed and people are generally precocious. It is not unusual to fall in love even in junior high school.
"The problem is that the boyfriend she's looking for also has elf blood, and he's so handsome~ I'm so envious."
"Elven blood is indeed a bit rare. Most of the elves on the planet have migrated away."
In fact, in the early days, this planet was developed by the elven consortium in the Federation, so the name was also very elven-specific, 'Emerald Skirt'. However, with the development of industry and the deterioration of the environment, many elves gradually
He left this planet and went to other star fields in the Federation.
"Yes, yes, that's why I'm very envious. Her boyfriend also bought her the latest 'Mo Yun Workshop' personal terminal. I think the online price is at least 30,000 federal coins."
"Wow, so rich." Several other people sighed.
There is a huge income gap among star regions in the federation, and the median income in the 'Four Leaf Crystal' star region is 32,400 federal coins per year, which means that this is equivalent to a year's salary of an ordinary person.
"This Tiffin is really good at it. She knew how to deliberately wear skirts to seduce boys during the winter festival party. She couldn't bear it in such a cold weather. Now she doesn't know what tricks she used. Tsk tsk."
"How about you, Milly, also learn from it." Lina said teasingly from the side, as if she was no longer surprised by this kind of thing.
"Me? I guess I have to wait until my second year of high school. If my grades are good then, I can ask my aunt for money to have plastic surgery. I know this very well. After all, many people in our family are in related industries."
"Milly, you are too timid. Just go ahead. Those boys are easy to fool. You probably haven't found a boyfriend yet. It's mainly because it's not easy to find someone who is rich, handsome and single.
"
Clara laughed at her companions without restraint, not caring about offending others with her words.
"You." Milly wanted to refute the sarcasm, but looking at Clara's pretty figure and skin, she suddenly felt inferior and her voice became softer.
However, when she turned her head and saw the gray-haired girl standing in the corner, her mood suddenly improved again.
"Where's Hesia? You're so beautiful. You should have several boyfriends. Why don't you see them buying you anything?"
"I, I've never been in love."
The girl was a little scared and replied that she didn't know why the fire suddenly burned her body.
"Oh, it's fake. I don't believe it. Who doesn't want to find a man to spend money on? I think your appearance is not bad. If you weren't stupid in studying, how could you not get one?" Milly
When saying this, he winked and teased.
"Hahaha." The other two people on the side also laughed, which made the gray-haired girl feel embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
In their class, most of the popular ones are those who can speak and sing, or who like sports or fighting. Students like the gray-haired girl, who study silently and seldom interact with others, are often marginalized figures and
Little transparent.
"Who do you think you are? You're a fool for hoping to get ahead by studying! Hahaha!" Someone in the class once laughed at those introverted classmates, causing countless people to laugh.
Although it is true that learning is not a panacea, and Heshia knows this in her heart, she is still sad to be said so, and it feels like a kind of torture just to stand where she is.
Fortunately, Lina managed to smooth things over in the end.
"Okay, okay, don't laugh. Hesia is going to be admitted to Irene Academy. If you become a doctor in the future, you have to go find her." This stopped the two of them from continuing to joke.
"What were you talking about? By the way, it's my turn." Lina loosened the short hair on the side of her ears with her hands, revealing large, round golden earrings with rubies embedded in them.
"I participated in the admissions review of Turbulence Meter High School. You may not have heard of it because it is a school in the South Third District." On the Emerald Skirt Planet, the environment in the southern hemisphere is much better than that in the northern hemisphere, and it is also a richer place.
"It is a school affiliated to the 'Black Snail Group'. After graduation, you can easily enter the company to work."
"Heiluo Group? Is that the company that makes waterproof materials?"
"Yes, that's the company, the benefits are pretty good." Although Lina pretended not to care, several people around her knew that this was a quite enviable big company.
For a moment, the topic focused on Lina again, and the gray-haired girl beside her became unnoticed again, but she didn't need others to care about her. On the contrary, this state of being unnoticed made her relax.
.
Time passed slowly, and the car Hesia called arrived.
"Hey, did you call the car yourself? If I had known, I would have called you to carpool with us, so we could have saved a lot of money." Lina was slightly surprised.
"Ah, this." Heshia didn't know how to answer, so she could only nod, then quickly walked into the car with small steps, and then gradually closed the door.
After sitting in the gray suspension car, the sound of rain and noise outside suddenly quieted down, and only the slight dripping sound could be heard inside the car.
The self-driving AI starts to remind, and then the writing is also displayed on the screen in front of the car.
[Welcome to travel on this bus, your destination is: Patio No. 653, Xuanshi Street, Beiqi District, Payin City]
[Please confirm: Yes/No]
"Sure."
[Received, the vehicle starts planning the route, please wait]
[Planning completed, start driving...]
The mechanical sound of the automatic AI was calm and quiet, which slowly calmed down the girl's originally chaotic mood.
Electronic AI is great, at least they don’t say uncomfortable words.
In the car, the girl held the information bag and leaned against the car window, looking at the gray world outside.
The rain was still falling, and tiny drops of water slid across the car window, and then rolled down in lines. Hesia unconsciously drew patterns on the car window with her fingers, and it took a while before she woke up.
She is not a celebrity in the class. Although her theoretical scores are good, not many people except the teachers pay attention to this. It is like in a bad school, everyone talks about who is the best at playing, and no one admires the good ones.
people.
This is not a strange thing. The economy in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory is sluggish, and many companies have begun to reduce their staff. Even if you have good academic performance, it is difficult to get a decent job.
It doesn’t matter who does it. After all, technology has developed to a bottleneck stage, and the lives of federal residents today have not changed significantly compared to 1,000 years ago.
Without new tracks, there will be no new vitality, and many tasks will be standardized and dumbed down. In other words, it does not require particularly capable people to do it. Instead, relationships and channels become important.
This allows wealth to accumulate at the upper levels, while the lower levels are also addicted to various entertainments and comparisons, worshiping luxury, consumption, etc. After all, it is painful to face this cruel reality that cannot be changed.
This is an era in which science and technology and civilization are highly developed, and it is also an era in which any beautiful illusions suddenly fall to the ground. Human beings use knowledge and experience to transcend the shackles of nature, but knowledge and experience have in turn become new chains of interests.
"So, it's a sad world."
Heshia will feel sad about the ridicule of her classmates, but she also knows that this is not just a problem for a few classmates. Where is the way out, many people are looking for the answer.
Of course, there is also a more obvious way out, which is the practice of extraordinary sequences.
Extraordinary sequence, from 1 to 9, each time the structure of the extraordinary core is increased by one level, it will be advanced once, and different structures and textures will also bring various incredible abilities, which are amazing and rare.
, a way for people to transcend their own class.
The more powerful and special the ability, the more complex the structure required. Although they belong to the same sequence level, the strength of two people may be very different. This is the reason.
The reason why Edes Academy is so coveted is that it has 5 ways to advance to Extraordinary Sequence 5 that are rated as perfect. This allows practitioners to have a more solid and perfect foundation, so that they can go further in the future.
Far.
If you advance with a crude and crude structure, I am afraid that Sequence 2 will be the end of many people's lives. After all, the foundation is too fragile, and taller buildings will cause collapse and collapse. A high-sequence extraordinary core is no less than a ignited
The power produced by the nuclear fusion reactor is also more special. It is extremely difficult to restrain this power while still maintaining sanity and not polluting it. This is why there are so many high-sequence extraordinary beings in the entire star sea today.
The reason why there haven’t been many.
Thinking about various things in her mind, the gray-haired girl slowly fell asleep in the car while holding the documents, until an hour later, a mechanically synthesized prompt sounded.
[Vehicle has arrived at destination]
Are you here? The gray-haired girl rubbed her eyes and sat up. She felt much better now.
She opened the car door and walked out, and a huge square patio appeared in front of her.
The red steel has sharp edges and corners, protecting and separating the central patio. Looking down from it, spaceships and hover vehicles are constantly coming in and out of the huge patio, and surrounding the four walls of the patio are long trapezoidal stairs with twinkling lights.
, pedestrians shuttled, countless shops and houses were hidden in this underground steel jungle, and traces of white air were discharged from this abyss-like patio and curled up.
This is where Hesia lives, Arpeggio City, an underground industrial city.
