Son of the Tower

Chapter 17 Choice
Sitting in the corridor, Zhao Guangcheng watched in silence one by one his peers went in and one after another came out.

When they entered, their faces were ashen, as if the sky would collapse in the next second, but when they came out, they looked very happy, which made Zhao Guangcheng very restless—really, he didn't know that his fellows were being killed. After imprinting the ideological seal, erasing this period of time, he still reached some ulterior agreement with that sage.

As a child of the Zhao family, before this deep dive, Zhao Guangcheng had six points in basic strength, eleven points in basic agility, eight points in basic constitution, and ten points in psionic ability.

This is a fact that he has completed the test and learned in the family.

My family is afraid of the tower. Like many families, they don't believe that the sages who ruled the world will really return power to ordinary people. This is what my great-grandfather told Zhao Guangcheng in a one-on-one time. .

Zhao Guangcheng also thinks so, because in the west land, the mechanical sage who controls the Great Wasteland has no such plan. Compared with the two, the Zhao family decided to send Zhao Guangcheng this year. Not outstanding, nor low-energy, so he was chosen as an apprentice to enter the tower.

According to past experience, Zhao Guangcheng understands that Gaota will definitely know that there is a problem with his identity. Gaota is very kind to children, so he will not harm Zhao Guangcheng. Medicine doesn't cherish, but Gaota is so stingy sometimes, but you can't say he is bad, because he is also so kind.

So Zhao Guangcheng was going to sleep after drinking the potion, but the problem was that the next second he appeared in the sky above the sea of ​​spiritual energy.

Yes, the sea of ​​psychic energy is a deep diving place dreamed of by countless preparations for extraordinary people. As long as you see the sea of ​​psychic energy, you can at least increase your basic psychic power. In the three seconds before the sea of ​​energy, I saw the sky darken, and a star was shining in the night.

This is not something that can be described as good luck. In Zhao Guangcheng's eyes, seeing the sea of ​​psychic energy is an unexpected joy, but seeing the bright starry sky described in the diary left by the legend is completely frightening—because According to the family's determination of his potential, it is absolutely impossible to see the starry sky at the top of the sky dome of the Sea of ​​Psionic Energy.

Because any pre-transcendent who can see this starry sky means that he has great potential. Correspondingly, the four attributes including psionic power will be improved. If he is lucky, he will also get the ancient sequence!
In the era of great destruction, the ancient sequence is a tool for human beings to fight against chaos. After the end of destruction and the rise of psionic energy, the ancient sequence can allow every lucky person who obtains it to have a broader future. If Zhao Guangcheng can completely light up that star , then every time Zhao Guangcheng improves his psionic ability, he can get an enhancement from the ancient sequence, which can be attribute enhancement or extraordinary ability.

Although Zhao Guangcheng failed to light up that star, he had already established contact with that sequence star in those three seconds—as long as he came to the sky above the Sea of ​​Psionic Energy again, Zhao Guangcheng would have enough ways to make this star A sequence star answered his call.Similarly, if Zhao Guangcheng told his family what happened to him today, then Zhao Guangcheng believed that the Zhao family would definitely welcome him back and make him one of the heirs to cultivate.

It sounded very good, and Zhao Guangcheng was almost tempted.

But when he woke up and found that this group of children...all had the same adventure, Zhao Guangcheng felt fear for the first time.

Why did these children get the opportunity to dive deep? Not only them, but even those children who were thrown out by the family got the benefits of deep diving.

Before the other children understood, Zhao Guangcheng discovered that the same age named Mars was not there.

This made Zhao Guangcheng discover the problem and tremble at the same time - there is such a story in many extraordinary families, there is a kind of child who is not born to look outstanding, and the talent is not comparable to those geniuses, but they have unique talents , They are called the children of miracles, and they can give the peers who walk with him various benefits - for example, as long as they can be near him during the deep dive, they can definitely dive into the sea of ​​psychic power, instead of being in the memory of their ancestors. Learn a little fur here.

Perhaps this child named Mars is such a child of miracles. When Zhao Guangcheng was sitting in the corridor, he kept thinking—how many good things did I do in my previous life to be lucky enough to be able to walk with him.

The mission of the family has long been forgotten by Zhao Guangcheng - the fact that the tower can allow the Son of Miracle to appear here means that they have no malice towards human beings!

Children like Zhao Guangcheng, who shoulder ridiculous missions, obviously can't blame others even if they are killed, but the tower gave them such a chance to walk with the legend.

Because of this, people of the same age before that would choose to cooperate with the tower.

But Zhao Guangcheng can't... because he still has a younger sister in the family.

That's a disqualified person, without enough talent, Zhao Guangcheng doesn't want his sister to become a punching bucket in the eyes of his peers because of his betrayal.

In life, there is something to give and something to gain, but Zhao Guangcheng is reluctant. Before coming to the tower, his sister asked him when he would come back.

Now that his mother has died of illness and his father has left for the West, Zhao Guangcheng understands that he is his sister's only support, and people can betray him because human nature has weaknesses, but Zhao Guangcheng does not want to bow to his own weaknesses.

So, when Zhao Guangcheng was called by name, he walked towards the door opened by the mechanical guard with a painful smile.

What will the Tower do to me if I choose to refuse?

Zhao Guangcheng questioned himself, and felt that if he was a sage, he would at least stamp his mind on this disobedient child so that he would completely forget about it. The head exploded to pieces while remembering things.

In the end, a somewhat relieved Zhao Guangcheng came to the room. The luxurious decoration, the beautiful screen, the simple long table and the four treasures of the study did not move Zhao Guangcheng's heart. chair.

"Zhao Guangcheng, I can feel your heart beating very fast. It seems that you already understand what I want to say, right." Yu Xianzhe turned to look at Zhao Guangcheng, and there was a red light flickering in his cold mechanical eyes.

Zhao Guangcheng nodded with despair on his face: "I still have a younger sister in my family. I don't care about her... If possible, can I send my remains back to my family?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Guangcheng closed his eyes. He was waiting for death to come - the high tower and the mortal family were in the same boat, and he didn't want to stand on the high tower's side, presumably the high tower couldn't keep his life.

It's no wonder that Gaota, for any organization or individual, today's Zhao Guangcheng would have no choice but to die.

"If I recruit your sister and let her reunite with you in the tower, how will you make a decision, child." The question from the sage made Zhao Guangcheng's eyes widen.

He couldn't believe his ears, because fate had paved a new path in front of him.

Until Yu Xianzhe looked at Zhao Guangcheng: "Your sister is a disqualified person, right? But I can use the excuse of testing new technology to recruit your sister. The next time I go deep diving, she can also try it. Maybe it can change her. What do you think, child, do you want your sister to also ignite this spiritual fire of hope?"

"...I, I am willing, Your Excellency, for this I can offer everything to Gaota and you, Your Excellency!" Zhao Guangcheng replied ecstatically.

"Call me your mentor from now on, son, remember your choice today, and learn to keep your mouth shut, you know." After speaking, Zhao Guangcheng's mentor took out a standard lightsaber handle from the box on the table And handed it to Zhao Guangcheng.

"Hold on to your glory, boy, and live up to it and the tower."

After Zhao Guangcheng finished the sentence following his instructor's instructions, he tightly held the hilt of the lightsaber in his hand.

"Mentor... I will definitely live up to this honor."
