Doomsday Totem

Chapter 117 Reception
Since ancient times, the western continent has been hailed as "the favorite of the gods".There are four distinct seasons here, the land is flat and fertile, and there has never been a major war.

Every spring, standing on the top of the mountain and looking from a distance, the ice and snow melt, the stream trickles, the young grass pokes its head timidly, and the land is full of vitality.

In summer, when you walk in the forest, the sun shines through the lush leaves on the slightly damp soil.There is a fragrance of nature in the air, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.Here, crystal clear streams can be seen everywhere. If you are tired from walking, you can sit on the rocks and stare at the trickling stream in a daze.

In autumn, when you look down from the sky, you can see the golden wheat fields as far as the eye can see.Under the setting sun, when there is a breeze, the straw will sway neatly, like a golden ocean.

When winter comes, wearing short-sleeved clothes and sitting in a heated room, you can deeply understand that the winter here is actually not cold.

This is the western continent, the darling of the gods.

It is the end of August, the end of summer and early autumn, the harvest season.

However, for most of Silver City's students, this is a regrettable time.Because the summer vacation is coming to an end, and the new semester is about to start.

Classes, lectures, homework, exams...

All in all, every class is a headache.

"Wow~ School is about to start again."

At this moment, in front of an old building located in the suburb of No. [-] Yincheng, a girl in her early twenties frowned slightly and muttered softly to herself.

This girl has a sweet appearance and a gentle voice. She has medium-short hair covered with watermelon and wears a light blue dress. She is slightly thinner and about 1.6 meters tall.Her name is Qin Ke'er, and she comes from a large mountain village in the eastern part of the Far East Continent.This mountain village is called Qinjia Village, and it is the largest village within a radius of more than 1000 kilometers.

Qin Ke'er is the third daughter of the village chief.Because she was smart and had excellent grades since she was a child, her father took her to the "Fire Horn Temple" thousands of kilometers away, and begged the Grand Master to accept her as an apprentice (the Fire Horn Temple is a branch of the ancient horned rhinoceros lineage).

After some questions and answers, Grandmaster refused on the grounds that he was "still young".But considering that her father had donated a lot of money to the Fire Horn Temple, Grandmaster agreed to send her to the Central Silver City Military Academy in the Western Continent for a period of two years.If after these two years of study, she has some insights, the great master will accept her as an apprentice.

In other words, she is now a "self-funded student".

There are roughly three types of students at the Central Yincheng Military Academy, namely "free students", "self-funded students" and "recommended students".

Among them, "free students" are divided into two types, namely "free students for nobles" and "free students for civilians".All registered Yincheng nobles, no matter how good or bad their grades are, can directly enroll with their identity certificates.And "Civilian Free Life" is designed for the common people in No. [-] Silver City.If the local civilians have excellent grades in the high school graduation examination (gaokao), they can enroll for free.

If you are neither a nobleman nor an outstanding local commoner, you can only rely on your own pockets. This is "self-financing".

And "recommended students" refers to the students sent by the three major beliefs, major families, and major forces.All their expenses are paid by the organization behind them. To put it bluntly, they are self-financed students paid for by others.

On the surface, it seems that Qin Ke'er is the recommended student of the temple.But in fact, the main reason she can come to school is that her father donated enough money for tuition.Of course, their family is not at a disadvantage in this matter.Because the money donated by her father was barely enough to pay her two years of tuition, and the ancient temple had to take care of her during school.

At present, Qin Ke'er has been studying in the academy for a year, and will go back next summer.However, since she came to the western continent, she has been completely conquered by this bustling world, and she only wants to stay here, and she doesn't want to go back to the barren Far East.She looks pretty good, and her grades are above average. As long as she has money to buy a permanent residence in No. [-] Silver City (similar to a green card), or find a local to marry, she can stay.

However, she looked down on ordinary locals and wanted to find a rich one.But those who are rich may play tricks on her.Therefore, she decided to save some money first, buy a permanent residence by herself, and then slowly find a marriage partner.

However, she is a female student, and there are not many ways to make money except selling meat.

The Central Silver City Military Academy is a place that is both cruel and notarized.

Everything in the college requires money, not only for meals, but also for accommodation, and even certain courses require additional fees.

This is the cruelty of the academy. Regardless of the fact that there are a bunch of noble free students in the academy, they spend more than anyone else.

The reason is very simple. If you have no money, you can only live in the cheapest collective dormitory, and you have to squeeze four people into a room less than 65 square meters.How could these Silver City nobles be used to such a life.So, high-end single dormitory, 270 gold a semester, townhouse, 550 gold a semester, single-family villa, 2350 gold a semester, luxury single-family villa, [-] gold a semester, super luxurious...

There is also eating, those who have no money eat in restaurants, those who have money eat in western restaurants, high-end western restaurants, luxurious western restaurants, super luxurious western restaurants...

All in all, if you can afford it, you have everything here, if you can't afford it, you have nothing.

However, as the world's No. [-] military institution of higher learning, if everything got into the eyes of money, I am afraid that it would have been criticized by others, and the condemnation would be all over the place.

Therefore, while studying, the college also provides students with many opportunities to make money, which is the notarization of the college.

The college implements the "credit" system, and students can graduate after completing the credits.From this point of view, this place seems to be the same as an ordinary academy, there is no difference.

However, at the Central Silver City Military Academy, "credits" turned out to be hard currency!Can trade, can buy food, can rent dormitories, can buy equipment, and can replace everything provided by the academy, ranging from mechs to graduation certificates...

In the academy, credits are a higher currency unit than gold coins.

There are three main ways for students to earn credits.

First, credits are awarded according to the test scores, which are divided into three grades: pass, good, and excellent.

Secondly, the college holds various competitions every Friday, and those who win the ranking can get credits of varying degrees.

Third, the college regularly announces various tasks, and those who complete the tasks can win the credits indicated in the tasks.

Among them, the reward of the third point is the richest, but also the most dangerous and difficult.It is said that many students die in missions every year...

In the academy, anyone who has money or ability can live comfortably.

No money?Not capable?It’s okay, study hard, pass the exam to get full credits, then graduate and find a job.

However, the credits obtained through the exam are often just enough to meet the needs of the diploma.Those with excellent grades may get an extra ten points.But the ten or so points will definitely not make up for one year's tuition and living expenses.In addition, there is another restriction in the college. Anyone who is over 28 years old, regardless of whether they have graduated or not, cannot stay in the college unless they successfully apply to become teachers.

Qin Ke'er belongs to this kind of people who rely on exams to get credits.The grades are good, but she doesn't have much ability and doesn't have much money, so she can only be a bystander whether it's a game or a task.

However, as a recommended student of the temple, she still has some benefits.

For example, right now, she is doing a summer job for the "Ancient Temple's Office in the Western Continent".

Her task today is very simple, to receive a "hillies" from the Northern Wilderness Continent.

The reason why she judged the other party as a country bumpkin without seeing him before was because the person who arranged the task in the morning said: "That man is from the Northern Wilderness, he is a commoner, he has no background, and he probably hasn't even seen a movie." , I'm afraid that he will cause trouble everywhere, so please help me to watch it."

"What a nuisance~ What time will you be here?"

At this moment, Qin Ke'er was cursing to herself.She waited from nine o'clock in the morning to one o'clock in the noon, and she hadn't eaten lunch yet, and her stomach was growling with hunger.But she didn't dare to leave, because the person who arranged her mission repeatedly emphasized that she must receive that person as soon as possible, otherwise that person would cause trouble everywhere, and they would have to clean up the mess.

"The Northern Wilderness is relatively chaotic. I heard that the people there will go all out if they don't agree with each other. In case...in case something happens, this is the Western Continent, the headquarters of the Temple, and it's not as far east as ours."

Recalling the other party's original words, she had no choice but to obediently obey, muttering and waiting...

After another half an hour, when Qin Ke'er was about to change from anger to anger, there was a sudden roar in the sky.She looked up and saw a small aircraft hovering in the sky, apparently looking for a place to land.

Qin Ke'er quickly took out the red handkerchief, and while waving it, ran to the open space on the side of the old house.

"Here, idiot, here, come here..."

After a while, under Qin Keer's guidance, the aircraft landed smoothly on the open space.

"laugh……"

With a long sound of deflation, the rear hatch of the aircraft slowly opened.

Qin Keer's eyes widened immediately, and she looked towards the exit while holding her breath.Although she already knew that the other party was a bumpkin, there were still some handsome guys among the bumpkins.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Full of anticipation, a young man drove out from the back cabin of a red motorcycle.

After seeing the young man's face clearly, Qin Ke'er pursed her lips in great disappointment.It's okay for this person to be ordinary, but he's still bearded.It doesn't matter if you have a scumbag beard, and you still wear glasses.Even if you wear glasses, it's still an ugly black plastic frame...

This man is covered in dirt from head to toe, and he still wears canvas boots, who wears canvas boots these days?

Pretending to be dirtier than the natives in the Far East, he must be a garbage picker, right?
The figure is okay, but that's okay...

In less than five seconds, Qin Ke'er had secretly complained about the other party from head to toe.

"Hi, my name is Zhang Tie, and I'm from the Northern Wilderness Continent." The young man raised his head and extended his hand to her.

Looking at the hand extended by the other party, she quickly put her hands behind her back, pretending to be shy, as if she was embarrassed to shake hands with someone she met for the first time.

Have you washed your hands?This is Qin Keer's true thought.

For a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

The young man was also open-minded, showing a warm smile, and retracted his hands.
