Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the Jingwu Club in the north of the city. Liangyan listened to Liu Jing's introduction on the way, and he also had a general understanding of the place.
The Beidu in real society is reproduced here, and the hanging city in the sky is the reflection of Beidu.
Beidu is the only remaining stellar city in the world and is also the location of the nuclear fusion reactor "Dragon Heart".
It covers an area of 48,000 square kilometers and has a permanent population of 80 million. It is the center of human science and technology, education, culture, and economy. People who survived the disaster from all continents have all moved here.
This has become the largest base for surviving humans.
Jingwu Association is a special department established by the government after the disaster. It is managed as a half-government and half-private enterprise. Those allowed to enter are either approved by the government or recommended by seniors who are already qualified to enter. The admission review is very strict.
Someone once tried to sneak in. After this person was checked out, the staff took him away. He has never been seen again. There are rumors that this person is no longer in the real world.
Liu Jing was going through the admission procedures for Liangyan, and there were only a few people sitting here among the hundreds of seats in the waiting hall.
Liu Jing told him that he was not trying to observe anyone here, let alone interact with any strangers, and he also explained many reasons.
Liang Yan did not take these words to heart, but before leaving, Liu Jing said meaningfully:
"San'er, these are what the boss told me at that time."
This sentence made Liangyan have to pay attention. Liu Jing could make fun of anyone, but he would never dare to make fun of their sworn brother Qin Mu.
Qin Mu was a calm man and never acted aimlessly. Since he said so, it means that it is definitely not simple here.
Everyone else in the hall was silent. Apparently they had all received similar warnings, but there were always exceptions. Suddenly, a burst of complaints broke the tranquility of the hall:
"The weather is so hot. It's so hard to meet the boss of the Qin family."
"The boss of the Qin family? Isn't this the nickname of the boss on the ladder list?"
Liangyan looked towards the direction of the sound source with a puzzled face, and saw a 28-year-old girl similar to him standing under the fan, mumbling dissatisfiedly.
This girl has a high ponytail and a light green retro dress. She has a slim figure and carries a three-foot-long package on her back. Her back view is perfect!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I guess it's a backside killer." Liangyan said, and sat back, muttering to himself.
Just when Liangyan sat down, the girl turned around and looked towards the direction where Liangyan was sitting with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with cold light, her beautiful face filled with murderous intent.
"Oh, you are a timid young man who only dares to peek."
Liangyan was startled unconsciously. Just now, he felt as if he was being pointed directly at by a sharp sword. The feeling came and went quickly.
"This place is really weird..." he thought to himself.
After waiting for a while, Liu Jing finally completed the admission procedures.
"San'er, come here, we can go in."
He stood at a light curtain door and shouted to Liangyan, who waved his hand and walked over.
After passing through the light curtain door, they appeared on a huge training ground. In the middle of the training ground stood a tower tens of meters high.
Dozens of competition stages are arranged around the tower. On many of the competition stages, there are still people competing, but some stages are blocked by light curtains and it is difficult to see what is going on inside.
Liu Jing stepped forward and proudly introduced:
"San'er, this is the Heavenly Ladder Tower. Those of us who have inherited the family's qi control method will come here to climb the Heavenly Ladder Tower. Thousands of people have climbed this Heavenly Ladder Tower over the more than ten years since its existence. There are a total of nineteen floors to climb.
According to the rules, you can participate in the military's special warrior training after climbing the ninth floor. However, starting from the first time you climb the tower, if you fail to climb the eighteenth floor within three years, you will permanently lose the qualification to climb the tower. "
Liangyan asked doubtfully:
"Second brother, what about the nineteenth floor?"
"Nineteenth floor? I haven't heard of anyone climbing up so far. The highest record is currently held by three people. One went to the military, one became a ranger, and the other is the boss. Their records are all on the seventeenth floor."
Good words shocked:
"Big brother is the record holder?!"
Liu Jing nodded and replied:
"Yes, my eldest brother started climbing this ladder two years ago.
With his extraordinary talent, he climbed to the twelfth floor in half a year, and later climbed to the current seventeenth floor in two months, which is the fastest record in history.
So on weekdays, when big brother is sparring with you, he is just playing with you. Your attack strength is barely enough to fight in the ring outside this tower."
Liangyan disagrees with what he said, what does it mean to play with him.
"Second brother, have I ever been like this? What you said is too exaggerated!"
"Haha, exaggeration? I'll go find the boss right away. You'll know if you go to the competition ring and have a fight."
Liu Jing pointed at the competition platform and gave Liangyan a look of contempt.
Liangyan ignored Liu Jing's eyes and walked towards the competition stage.
Most of the competition arenas on the outside are open to the public. Novices who have just arrived here will fight from the outer circle to the inner circle layer by layer. After finishing the competition arena, they will start to climb the ladder tower.
Liangyan, who has never been out of the city since he was a child, this is the first time he has watched the martial arts of other martial arts families up close. Although the martial arts competition stage hides personal air control methods, the pure martial arts confrontation is also dazzling.
Finally, he stopped next to a very deserted competition stage. There were more or less people like this watching other competition stages, but in this competition stage, there were only two people on the stage competing, and there was no one under the stage.
Like Liangyan, the two people on the stage had just started to practice Qi control, and they had not yet started to practice the family's inherited martial arts, but this was exactly what he needed, because he couldn't understand the inherited martial arts at all now.
Both of them used basic martial arts skills on the competition stage, but Liang Yan was so enjoyable to watch that the more he watched, the more fascinated he became.
Here we should use "He Xing" followed by "Dragon Gripping Hand" to break the opponent's defense. How can we use "Overlord Look Back" here? We should use "Wrong Bone Hand" to directly punch him!...
Ten minutes later, the two fought to a draw and shook hands to make peace.
He shook his head and exclaimed:
"Hey, it's just a little bit close. If you hold on for half a minute, someone will fall down. It's a pity, it's such a pity."
"Lao San, why do you say someone will fall down in half a minute?" a deep voice asked.
Liangyan raised his head in surprise and looked at the person who asked the question. It was his sworn brother Qin Mu, the person who always stood tall and tall in his eyes.
"Brother, you finally came out. We haven't seen each other for almost two months, right?"
Qin Mu nodded and replied: "That's about it. I haven't taught you how to practice for a long time. Uncle Liang passed on the method of controlling Qi to you, right?"
"Well, yes, I started practicing last month, but I don't need to give you any advice for the time being. I haven't mastered the secret of this air control method yet."
Qin Mu was very dissatisfied when he heard this, frowned and said reproachfully:
"It's been more than a month and I still haven't figured out the trick. Your practice is too lax. Let's do this. I'll put this tower aside for a few days. You can come stay at my house in the next few days and I'll tell you the trick of this air control method."
After hearing the good advice, he quickly declined:
"Brother, no, no, no, I feel like I'll find the trick soon. It's more important that you climb the tower... I can do it myself... You really don't have to..."
His voice became more and more urgent, and finally he almost cried.
Seeing Liang Yan's cowardice, Liu Jing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When Qin Mu heard the laughter, he turned around and said angrily:
"And you, my second brother, come too. It's just a good time for us three brothers to get together!"
Liu Jing's mocking expression instantly froze on his face. He dared not refuse Qin Mu's order. Qin Mu's telepathic finger was comparable to a nuclear weapon button in his eyes.
"Okay, I'm offline. I'll go back and prepare the equipment for practice first. Uncle Liang and Uncle Liu, I'll say hello. You can just come to my place after you log off.
Second child, please take the third child for a nice walk and stop talking about your messy news."
After that, Qin Mu went offline before they could reply.
Liu Jing was about to cry but had no tears at the good words at the competition stage. The two of them found a random step and sat down. They could discuss and struggle for a while before, but this time the boss didn't give him any chance to discuss!
The two of them just sat on the steps in silence. After a long time, Liu Jing sighed:
"Hey...San'er, you feel it too, maybe this is the last time the boss gives us guidance."
Liangyan thought so too. He nodded and Liu Jing continued:
"The boss told me before that he couldn't climb the seventeenth floor, at least not if he practices in the current environment."
Liangyan still just nodded and said nothing.
"Okay, let's go. We have plenty of time. We can take our time shopping later."
As he spoke, Liu Jing took out a stone from his pocket and handed it to Liangyan.
"San'er, when you log off, put this stone in your hand and hold it tightly. No matter what happens later, just don't say anything and just follow me."
Liangyan took the stone and looked at Liu Jing doubtfully. Liu Jing didn't say anything, only left a weird smile and then went offline.
"A stone is so mysterious."
Liangyan held the stone tightly in his hand and went offline muttering.
As soon as everything went dark, a familiar electronic sound sounded:
"Your cabin door is opening, please check your valuables, such as communicator, wallet..."
Before the reminder tone finished speaking, Liangyan's hatch was opened by Liu Jing. Suddenly Liu Jing grabbed his hand and said with a smile:
"Come on, San'er, we'll talk nonsense later, let's go home first!"
Liang Yan was still confused at first, not knowing what Liu Jing was going to do. After slowly feeling something strange in his hands, the expressions of fear and confusion kept switching back and forth on his face.
His understanding of the world for more than ten years was shattered in this moment, because he actually took out the stone!
