Chapter 1: Ch 1: System?

The 76^th Human City, Grand Ruins, Grand Ruins HH Museum.

　　On the square in front of the gate, the banner of "Ruins Little Light Senior High School" was pulled up, and a group of senior high school students were gathering here.

　　"Ah, why do we have to get up at eight o'clock every day, I'm so sleepy!"

　　"I heard that it was even worse before the catastrophe. In addition to early self-study, they even had evening self-study, and they didn't go home until eleven or twelve o'clock every day and that’s without the time needed to take the bus and get ready..."

　　"Fuck, it's not all day at school, so it's good to think that we can get out of school at 5:30 every day."

　　"Speaking of which, have you played the recently released retro series, "Subway Surfers", the picture quality is simply amazing!"

　　"God of War still Solos", unfortunately, the game cabin is too expensive, and the experience of the helmet is always worse..."

　　"After school at 5:30 is for you to spend time practicing martial arts, not for you to play those shameful VR games!"

　　Amidst the heated discussions of several boys, a somewhat cold female voice suddenly broke in.

　　The few boys who were beaming with joy suddenly died down, and stood in line obediently.

　　"Wu Dao, why don't you wear a school uniform?"

　　Wu Dao, who was listening with gusto, didn't expect that he would get shot even while lying down. Looking at the blue-haired girl with a high ponytail standing in front of him, Wu Dao sighed softly, "It's too expensive, I can't afford it."

　　"But when you asked me to borrow money last month, you said you would use it to buy school uniforms."

　　"Did I?"

　　"Yes." The girl took out a small notebook from nowhere, opened it, and said seriously: "It's January 3rd, during the break between World History and Martial Arts Theory classes, you said you needed money to buy clothes, I took the wallet I lent you all the 208.50 fed coins in my wallet, and you showed me your torn shirt armpit."

　　"Ahem..."

　　Wu Dao suddenly couldn't keep a retort, he knew she kept a notepad and or diary but he never expected that it was so detailed.

　　Looking into Bing YI's clear eyes, Wu Dao could only answer honestly: "I forgot there was an event today."

　　"But the activity of visiting the museum was announced last week, and last night I specifically said it again in the class group."

　　"I'm poor and can't afford a communication bracelet."

　　"On July 13^th last year, next to the physical examination machine at the School Martial Arts Room, you said that you needed to pay back the bracelet by installments. I took 650 federal coins from the pocket money and lent it to you."

　　Bing Yi flipped through the small book and continued to narrate.

　　"...Hahaha, it's so embarrassing. Well, I blocked the class group. You also know that there are too many nonsensical news in it. I am afraid of delaying my studies."

　　"Then I'll send it to you privately next time."

　　Seeing Bing Yi's leaving back, Wu Dao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Finally, the pressure was gone.

　　Without the existence of Bing Yi, who was blessed by a series of halos in Grand Ruins Little Light Senior High School, such as "I want to talk to Mom about her", "Who is so monstrous in humanities and martial arts", and "Her father actually drives Rolls Grey", Wu Dao became a little transparent in the crowd again, silently listening to the students around him talking with admiration about the big news that Bing Yi had confirmed his recommendation to Northern Xuanwu.

　　Black Tortoise University!

　　Wu Dao's always indifferent face was also moved for a moment.

Built upon one of the ten mobile cities of mankind: an actual giant tortoise with the blood of the mythical beast Xuanwu, along with the Sky Fortress that houses the Royal Knight Academy, it’s at the forefront of current human power and the cumulation of centuries of ancestral sacrifice and struggle. These are the pinnacle of human resources and are the only options to become true powerhouses available to commoners who aren’t direct descendants of nobles and aren’t apart of organizations or martial arts families.

 

　　How difficult is the Xuanwu exam?!

　　In the past three centuries, only two people from Grand Ruins Little Light Senior High School School were admitted to Xuanwu, and Bing Yi was the first one to be recommended since the school was founded unfortunately talent wise producing three martial kings didn't mean the average talent of Grand Ruins was high.

　　...

　　"Students, today we are visiting the 3^rd arm of the human heritage museum housed in our own Grand Ruins. Some students may have gone in with their parents, but recently a new batch of old objects have arrived in the museum. They are all from before the catastrophe. I believe that most of the students have never seen it... "

　　Feng Yu, the head teacher of class 47, stood in front of the team,

He was explaining the process of today's visit loudly, while the students pretended to listen drowsily.

　　"Speaking of, Wu Dao, where do you plan to apply for?" In the crowd, Wu Dao's best friend Lu Yang suddenly touched his arm and asked.

　　"I haven't thought about it yet, what about you?" Wu Dao replied casually.

　　"Me? Unless my dad suddenly shows off his might and got some special new age potion, I should go to study medicine locally at Grand Ruins Renovated Community College or if I’m lucky Grand Ruins Saint Peters Community College, leaving our small city is just a pipedream for someone with my talents."

　　Lu Yang thought for a while, and then said: "You should also think about this problem carefully. The human spark general entrance examination is only less than four months away. In fact, when you mentioned this time, you haven't figured out what to aim for, naturally, the Saint Peters Community College which is directly connected to the main city hospital is best since I’ll be able to get a job there but with my current grades the odds aren’t exactly in my favour.”

　　Wu Dao raised his head, and he could vaguely see the scorched earth in the distance through the cracks on the edge of the city, and he fell silent for a moment.

　　Study literature or martial arts?

　　This is the biggest question every high school senior has to think about.

　　However, in truth, it has never been an option, because almost no one would study literature if given the choice.

　　On January 01, 2024, an extremely huge comet passed the earth by rubbing the atmosphere, the time and space were chaotic, and the dimension was broken. That day was called the catastrophe day.

　　Earthquakes, tsunamis, extreme cold, high temperatures...Nature has demonstrated its wrath, and countless cities and towns have been reduced to ruins.

　　But these are not the scariest.

　　The most frightening thing is that since that day, many creatures that should only exist in legends suddenly appeared on the earth with the invasion of a mysterious factor in the air as well what scientist later dubbed ‘Aura’ or ‘Spiritual Energy’ which by itself changed everything fundamentally; so outrageous it was like changing the earth that was a paper plane into an intergalactic star ship, to this day humans still were getting used to the changes.

　　It seems that overnight, all the monsters and ghosts in mythology have become reality an unfortunate coincidence according to current studies or the result of wanton human imagination hitting the bullseye of the details of another plane’s native creatures.

　　Fortunately, there are also awakened people among humans who are our race’s main beneficiaries of aura.

　　The sudden dawn of spiritual energy and the precarious living environment has led to the emergence of a group of pioneers among human beings. It is they who have gradually re-established the human homeland and revived human civilization with the help of civilization relics of an alien civilization similar to humans.

　　After hundreds upon hundreds of years of exploration, the martial arts cultivation system has been completely formed, and becoming a powerful warrior is everyone's yearning.

　　But even though the aura is abundant, and it is the era of cultivation for all, it does not mean that everyone can take this path.

　　It takes talent and resources to nourish the body, push limits among other magical effects possible due to aura.

　　And these two... Wu Dao didn't have any.

　　The most sensible choice is to give up physical training from now on, specialize in liberal arts, and enter a better liberal arts university with a higher cultural score, in order to find a stable civilian job after graduation and support a family to contribute to society although not capable of joining the tech researchers, he would be more than able to be a good cog in the global machine that humanity needs to survive.

　　...

　　There are three statues in the lobby of the museum, which belong to the three Martial Kings that came from the city in its 400-year history as one of the most recent human strongholds, Floating Spirit King Leon Sky, Grey Lion King Sunas Assad and the current honorary city guardian Peach Blossom King Yuan Ji.

　　Martial King is said to be both a realm and also a title, the title is given to those who accomplish great feats for humanity which is typically all if not most of those who achieve this realm . Despite the 2000 year history well 1700 year history excluding the dark ages before martial arts, only hundreds of martial kings have been produced with many falling in battle or MIA in alien battlefields like the Grey Lion and Floating Spirit Kings.

　　At least with the experience of these third-year students, it is impossible to imagine what kind of height it takes to obtain such a title, how far up is the Martial King realm not taught in schools or what is considered a ‘feat for humanity’?

 

　　It was the first time for Wu Dao to enter the city museum, and the previous 50 fed ticket made him ignore this place directly.

　　"Sure enough, if you don't spend any money, this place will be much more pleasing to the eye." There seemed to be a simple and mysterious atmosphere rushing towards his face, and Wu Dao couldn't help sighing.

　　"Who says it doesn't cost money? Didn't everyone pay 25 fed coins?" Lu Yang on the side asked doubtfully.

　　Wu Dao was startled, then sighed lightly, and said nothing more.

　　...

　　"This arm of the Human Heritage Museum was established in 4049, covering an area of ​​8,062 square meters, with a total of sixteen different exhibition halls, it wouldn’t be our Grand Ruins City turn to host it if we hadn’t a record 3 martial kings with 1 still alive..."

　　"Students, look here. This is a biological fossil called a dinosaur. Dinosaurs have survived for 200 million years. Its appearance is somewhat similar to the dragon beast and glessertolls among the existing monsters..."

　　"This is the exhibition hall related to the pioneer warriors. Let's look at this stone. It is said that one of the leaders of the pioneer warriors, Great King Wu Bin, used it to meditate and create the first set of martial arts in fragmented pre-catastrophe China that can be practiced by the public... ..."

　　The young lady tour guide of the museum with the Kate nametag worked hard to explain, and the atmosphere was maintained very well. Soon, everyone came to the sixteenth exhibition hall.

　　"Students, this exhibition hall displays the achievements of human civilization before the catastrophe and is our most recent addition. Don't underestimate these civilizations. Because of the emergence of martial arts, in fact, the speed of human scientific research in daily life has slowed down since the explosion technology race during 1980s to 2024 Human beings were devoting themselves to the study of technology and have invented many practical things, if not interrupted they could have finished artificial intelligence completely and achieved intergalactic travel through spacial technology..."

　　"Wu Dao, what do you think this is?" Lu Yang pointed to a sticker with black lines on a white background in a picture frame on the wall.

　　Wu Dao shook his head in doubt, and studied the mysterious tadpole-like lines together with a few students around him, trying to figure out something.

　　"QR code?" A classmate glanced at the description next to it, rubbed his chin and said, "Could it be some kind of cultivation secret book, can it be decrypted in a specific way?"

　　"Maybe, it says it's for collecting money, so I guess We have to pay a fee to learn the corresponding cheats." Another boy guessed.

　　As soon as Wu Dao heard that it might be related to money, he immediately lost interest in the mysterious picture and text and went to the next area marked "Electronic Products" on his own.

　　"After restoration by some scientific researchers, some of the electronic products here can be reused. Students can try to operate them, but be careful not to damage them!"

　　Hearing the words of the tour guide, Wu Dao suddenly became interested.

　　A few female students headed by Bing Yi and Susan Petty were studying something in front of a laptop, and Wu Dao casually took a mobile phone connected to a charging cable on the shelf next to it.

　　The model of this phone was not specified, and the appearance was quite worn out. Wu Dao only saw two whole letters among the shattered word pixels.

　　"G & L?"

An alphanumerical language popular before the catastrophe along with Chinese, Arabic etc which were only passed down in names today. After the dark ages, the universal language of humanity was Gesseltor. Wu Dao vaguely remembered that there was more but his inattentiveness during class hindered him.

　　There is no password on the mobile phone, Wu Dao unlocked it and looked at it casually, but unfortunately, most of the apps can no longer be used, and there are only two things that can be opened normally, One is an app called "Supreme King" It's a game, but the interface is too old-fashioned, and the operation is too simple. Wu Dao probably decided to click X after trying it out as an expert in retro games he was a certified amateur ancient linguist and familiar with ancient Japanese, Chinese and English!

　　The other one seemed to be an installation package, Wu Dao casually touched it, and before he could react, a bunch of prompts popped up.

　　"Risk Warning: You are installing an application from an unknown source. By continuing to install this application, you agree to be fully responsible for any damage to your device or loss of data that may result from the use of this application."

　　"This app has been infected with a virus and will be automatically added to the mobile phone security control center. It is recommended to uninstall it immediately..."

　　"The application failed to automatically join the security control center..."

　　"A host with suitable conditions has been detected, the system is starting..."

　　"Didi, danger warning, the phone has been infected with an unknown virus!"

　　In a series of dazzling and inexplicable messages, something strange seemed to pass away. Wu Dao only felt a sharp pain in his palm. Before he could react, the next moment——

　　boom!

　　A strong air wave lifted Wu Dao away.

　　"The Fuck is-!"

　　With the screams of the crowd, the glass of the entire museum was shattered under the impact of the airwaves.

　　The invisible waves did not stop and swept across the entire Grand Ruins in the blink of an eye.

　　hing!

　　All electrical equipment in the city was paralyzed in an instant.

　　The sound of melting ice and snow sounded, and the invisible but real protective shield covering Grand Ruins collapsed inch by inch.

　　Violent wind and sand poured into the edge of Grand Ruins from the outside almost instantly, the clouds drifted away, three suns suddenly appeared in the sky, and the temperature on the surface of Grand Ruins began to rise rapidly. A silhouette appeared in the air above the city.
