Chapter 3 Sad World (thanks to the lord of the lettuce)
Walking out of the giant dome hall for admissions, the sky outside was gloomy, and raindrops kept falling from the dark clouds, hitting the black square and splashing a lot of water.

call--

The cold wind blew, and a little rain fell on Heshia's body, and the cold feeling came from the skin.

"This weather..."

Hercia looked at the rainy world outside, and stood with many students who had just come out.

If it is ordinary rainwater, with the current technology and tools, there is no need to be afraid, but the rainwater on the planet Emerald Skirt is not, especially the 26 districts in the north, which are more or less affected by this corrosive rainwater.

The reason why the enrollment hall uses a spar dome with edges is to resist this corrosive rainwater. If it is made of metal or common concrete, it will be dilapidated within a few years, and its safety is at risk.

In a year, during the rainy season from April to May, the rainwater on the planet is very toxic, and from June to August, the toxicity is gradually diluted, and the corrosion is greatly weakened. Walk in the rain.

What should I do, should I call a rental car? It feels very expensive, but it seems that there is no other choice, Hersia thought to herself.

Although her living expenses are not much, she basically has no income, so she has to save money for everything. Fortunately, she has graduated from junior high school and entered high school, so she can do some simple jobs to make money.

After a little hesitation, Hersia, like other students, booked a hover taxi with her personal terminal and waited patiently.

The gray rain fell on the world in front of me. It fell on the ground, the dome, and the steel structure, hitting different sprays, mixed with water vapor and coldness, and constantly blowing with the wind. Although I knew that the rain was a little toxic, this kind of noise The tranquility in the middle still made Hercia feel a touch of happiness.

I am about to become an adult, and I can do many things in the future.

"Hey~Heshia~"

Just as the gray-haired girl was standing in front of the rain curtain and waiting, a familiar voice came from behind.

This is?

Hercia 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.

"Are you here alone, Hersia?" One of the extroverted girls with short hair came over and patted Hersia's shoulder with one hand.

"Uh, yes." Hercia's expression was the same as that of the little bird, a little cowering and nervous.

Timid, introverted, and socially phobic, this is probably the label she left the deepest impression on others.

"Ahaha, you are quite courageous,"

The girl smiled, and then the four of them stood together and talked about the situation of participating in the assessment today.

"Clara, Millie, how did you do in the exam?" the short-haired girl asked the other two students.

"I think I can do it. At that time, I did a dance, and the teacher was dumbfounded." A girl in an avant-garde crop top gestured.

"Are you planning to debut as an idol in the future?"

"Of course, only by being an idol can I make a lot of money, and there are countless men who give me gold coins. This kind of life is chic, and I don't want to do that kind of rigid job."

"Hey, it's amazing. Clara will become a big star in the future, so don't forget about us. I'll join you when the time comes."

"Where's Millie?"

"I went to participate in the assessment of Sreb Academy, and I should be able to pass it." Sreb Academy is a school specializing in medicine-related occupations, and the academy is dominated by tidal sequences.

"Millie is humble again. Many elders in your family are in the pharmaceutical company, and the road ahead is paved."

"There." Although she didn't admit it very much, she couldn't hide the smile and pride on the girl's face.

The short-haired girl smiled and talked to the two classmates. This proficient speech and social skills made the gray-haired girl beside her envious.

"So, what about Lina?"

Finally, the gray-haired girl next to her couldn't help but whispered. She had been at the same table with Lina for a while before, so she was familiar with it, and she wasn't as scared as other students.

"I—I'll talk about it later, let's talk about you first, Hercia." Lina deliberately kept it off.

"I... I applied for Irene Academy, and I have been preparing for a long time. Maybe I can pass this time." The girl hesitated a little, but she still didn't say anything about applying for Eileen Academy, after all, she seemed too overwhelmed.

"Irene Academy is not bad either. I remember when you were in the second year of junior high school, you were reading medical-related materials. Then you should start preparing. You are indeed a good student, Hercia."

Irene Academy is a medium-ranked university in the North Seventh District. It mainly trains professions such as doctors and nurses. However, if you really want to become a doctor, you must go to college. Become a nurse.

"Irene Academy, it's okay." Millie muttered in her mouth, seeming a little disdainful and jealous.

The Arpeggio City where the four of them live is not a big city, and the teaching quality of the junior high school is also very poor. Even the students with the best grades in the class can enter the middle-ranked high school in the North Seventh District, which is also enviable. something happened.

"By the way, have you guys heard about Tiffin?" Clara said suddenly.

"I don't know, what's wrong with her."

"She found a boyfriend." Clara said in an exaggerated tone.

"This, it doesn't seem too strange." Lina supported the hair on the side of her ear with her hand.

In today's era where the information network is developed and people are generally precocious, it is not uncommon for them to fall in love even in junior high school.

"The problem is that the boyfriend she found has elven blood, so handsome~ I'm so envious."

"Elf blood, this is indeed a bit rare, most of the elves on the planet have migrated away."

In fact, at the earliest time, this planet was developed by the consortium of the elves in the Federation, so the name is also very characteristic of the elves, 'Emerald Dress'. However, with the development of industry and the deterioration of the environment, many elves gradually Leaving this planet, went to other star fields of the Federation.

"That's right, that's why I'm very envious. Her boyfriend also bought her the latest personal terminal of the 'Mo Yun Workshop'. I think the online price is at least 3 federal currency."

"Wow, so rich." Several other people sighed.

There is a big gap in income between star fields in the federation, and the median income in the 'Four Leaf Crystal' star field is 32400 federation coins/year, which means that this is equivalent to a year's salary for ordinary people.

"This Tiffin really knows how to do it. She knew how to deliberately seduce boys by wearing skirts at the Winter Festival Gala before. It's thanks to her that she can hold back in such a cold weather. Now she doesn't know what tricks to play, tsk tsk."

"Why don't you learn from Millie." Lina teased from the side, as if she was no stranger to this kind of thing.

"Me? I guess I have to wait until the second year of high school. If my grades are good, I can ask my aunt for a sum of money for plastic surgery. I know this well. After all, many people in our family are in related industries."

"Millie is really inferior, you are too timid, just go straight, those boys are easy to fool, you haven't found a boyfriend yet, the main reason is that it is not easy to find a rich, handsome and single. "

Clara laughed at her companion brazenly, not caring about offending others with her words.

"You." Millie wanted to refute the sarcasm, but seeing Clara's decent figure and skin, she suddenly felt inferior again, and her voice dropped.

However, when she turned her head and saw the gray-haired girl standing in the corner, she suddenly felt better again.

"Heshia, you are so beautiful, you should have several boyfriends, and you never see them buy you anything."

"I, I've never been in love."

The girl replied a little scared, she didn't know why the fire suddenly burned her.

"Oh, it's fake. I don't believe it. Who wants to find a man to spend money on himself now? I think your looks are not bad. If you didn't study stupidly, why didn't you get any of them?" Millie When he said this, he winked and teased.

"Hahaha." The other two on the side also laughed, which made the gray-haired girl feel ashamed, and didn't know how to respond and refute.

In their class, most of the popular ones are those who can speak and sing, or who like sports and fighting, while students like the gray-haired girl who study silently and rarely socialize with others are often marginal characters and Little transparent.

"Who do you think you are, and you expect to get ahead by studying, you are a fool! Hahaha!" Someone once laughed at those introverted classmates in the class, 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 very sad to be said so, and she feels that standing still is a kind of torture.

Fortunately, Lina smoothed things over in the end.

"Okay, okay, stop laughing, Heshia is going to be admitted to Irene Academy, if you become a doctor in the future, you have to go to her." This stopped the two of them from continuing to joke.

"What did you say just now? By the way, it's my turn." Lina loosened the short hair on the ear side with her hand, revealing the big and round golden earrings, which were also inlaid with rubies.

"I participated in the admissions review of Turbulence Meter High School. You may not have heard of it, because this is a school in the third southern district." In 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 'Heiluo Group', and it is easy to work in the company after graduation."

"Heiluo Group? Is that the company that makes waterproof materials?"

"Yes, that's the one, and the benefits are pretty good." Although Lina pretended not to care, the people around her knew that this was a very enviable big company.

For a while, the topic focused on Lina again, and the gray-haired girl on the side became a state of no one caring about her again, but she didn't need others to care about it. On the contrary, it was this state of no one's attention that made her relax. .

Time passed slowly, and the car called by Hercia arrived.

"Hey, did you call the car yourself? If I had known earlier, I would have called you to carpool with us. This would save a lot of money." Lina was a little surprised.

"Ah, this." Heshia didn't know how to answer, so she could only nod her head, 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 hustle and bustle outside suddenly quieted down, only the slight beeping sound inside the car could be heard.

The automatic driving AI started to remind, and then the writing was also displayed on the screen in front of the car.

[Welcome to travel by this car, your target is: No. 653, Xuanshi Street, Beiqi District, Payin City, Patio]
[Please confirm: yes/no]
"determine."

[Received, the vehicle is starting to plan the route, please wait a moment]
[Planning is complete, start driving...]
The mechanical sound of the automatic AI was calm and quiet, which gradually calmed down the girl's originally chaotic mood.

Electronic AI is great, at least they don't say uncomfortable things.

In the car, the girl leaned against the car window holding the information bag, looking at the gray world outside.

The rain was still falling, and water droplets slid across the car window, and then rolled down in a line. Hercia unconsciously drew patterns on the car window with her fingers, and it took a while to wake up.

She is not a famous person in the class. Although her theoretical grades are good, except for the teacher, not many people pay attention to this, just like in a bad school, everyone talks about who is very good at playing, and no one worships good grades. people.

This is not a strange thing. The economy in the Four Leaf Crystal Star Region is sluggish, and many companies have begun to reduce their staff. Even if they 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. Compared with 1000 years ago, the lives of federal residents have not changed significantly.

Without a new track, there is no new vitality, and many jobs are standardized and made foolish, that is to say, it does not require particularly capable people to do it, but relationships and channels become more important.

This allows wealth to accumulate to the upper class, while the lower class is also addicted to various entertainment and comparisons, worshiping luxury, consumption, etc. After all, it is painful to face this cruel reality that cannot be changed.

This is an era of highly developed technology and civilization, and it is also an era when any beautiful fantasy falls to the ground. Human beings use knowledge and experience to transcend the shackles of nature, but knowledge and experience in turn become a new chain of interests.

"So, it's a sad world."

Heshia would feel very sad about the ridicule of her classmates, but she also knew that this was not just a question of a few classmates. Many people were looking for the answer to where the way out was.

Of course, there is also an obvious way out, and that is the practice of Transcendent Sequences.

Extraordinary sequence, from 1 to 9, every time the structure of the extraordinary core is increased, it will be promoted once, and different structures and lines will also bring various incredible abilities, amazing, this is also rare , a way for people to transcend their own class.

The more powerful and special the ability, the more complicated the structure it needs. Although they belong to the same sequence level, the strength of the two people may also be very different, and this is the reason.

The reason why Aidesi Academy is very desirable is that it has 5 advanced methods that are rated as perfect Transcendent Sequence 5, which allows the practitioners to have a more solid and perfect foundation, so that they can go further in the future Far.

If it is advanced with a crude and crude structure, I am afraid that Sequence 2 is the end of many people's lives. After all, the foundation is too fragile, and any taller building will collapse and collapse. The power produced by nuclear fusion reactors is also more special, and it is extremely difficult to restrain this power and maintain sanity without pollution. This is why the number of high-sequence extraordinary people in the entire galaxy today There haven't been many reasons.

Thinking about various things in her mind, the gray-haired girl slowly fell asleep in the car with the documents in her arms, until an hour later, the mechanically synthesized reminder sounded.

[Vehicle has arrived at destination]
Arrived? 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 eyes.

The crimson steel has sharp edges and corners, protecting and separating the surroundings of the central patio. Looking down from it, in the huge patio, spaceships and hover vehicles are constantly entering and exiting, while the walls surrounding the patio are long trapezoidal steps, in which the lights are flickering. , Pedestrians shuttle, countless shops and houses are hidden in this underground steel jungle, and white air is also discharged from this abyss-like patio, curling up.

This is where Hercia lives, Arpeggio City, an underground industrial city.
