Star Railroad: The Road to Dominion

Devour the world.

Jiangnan Base, Nancheng District, passing through a dilapidated block, finally came to a seven-story old-fashioned tube building. Observing along the way, few people living here raised their heads when walking. They all lowered their heads slightly, walked in a hurry, and their faces were not very good, with a sickly white color.

Who would have thought that Wang Hao, the man chosen by Wu Yao, was a quasi-warrior. Although he was a self-taught quasi-warrior, his strength was indeed at the first level of a quasi-warrior.

As for those who have reached the first level of quasi-warrior, it stands to reason that as long as they pass the assessment of the Extreme Martial Arts School, they will be able to enjoy superior accommodation and various living allowances. However, this guy is an exception and has never participated in the quasi-warrior assessment.

Even if he had not passed the assessment, he was still a quasi-warrior. However, such a quasi-warrior actually settled his home in a slum.

It was precisely this choice that allowed the culprit, who had brought disaster to more than a dozen hunting teams, to remain at large and never be discovered.

Closer to home.

Although the South City is in ruins, compared to the East City where powerful warriors gather, the West City where wealthy businessmen gather, and the even more chaotic North City, this place can be considered a relatively "peaceful" and rare "pure land" in the context of doomsday.

Of course, the so-called "peace" is relative. In just two streets less than three miles long, No. 7 was robbed nine times.

Although he could go to the Extreme Martial Arts School immediately to take the "quasi-warrior" assessment, and then obtain the support of the martial arts school to settle his family in Dongcheng District, No. 7 did not do so. Instead, he chose to adapt here for a while, gain a deeper understanding of the history of Blue Star after the Cataclysm, and then make plans.

Time flies, seven days have passed, and No. 7 has adapted to the pace of life here. In the meantime, he slightly improved the grade of the technique he practiced under Wang Hao, raising his strength from the level of an ordinary person to the level of a quasi-warrior.

By the time everything was ready, half a month had passed.

……

Jiangnan Base, Yangzhou City.

June 8th is another testing day for prospective warriors.

That day, No. 7 changed into a brand new sportswear and came to the gate of the Jidao Martial Arts School branch in the city.

Looking around, the square in front of the martial arts hall was cordoned off on all sides, and was filled with people wearing uniform black training uniforms.

Most of these people are young people around 20 years old, of course there are also some middle-aged people over 30 years old.

Of course, we cannot rule out some people who look anxious, who are only 20 years old but have a face of a 40-year-old.

Just like the star named Lei Jiayin from Blue Star before Wu Yao traveled through time, he was still deeply impressed even after traveling through time.

These people gathered in groups of three or five, making noises and making the whole square extremely noisy.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Suddenly, an extremely loud sound that was so loud that it hurt the eardrums resounded throughout the square, instantly making the entire square quiet.

A tall, thin man with a bright head and a fierce face looked at the group of children who came to take the test and calmed down. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he said loudly: "Now, the students from various schools stand on the left, and the remaining social warriors stand on the right."

Wow!

After hearing the order, surprisingly no one slacked off, and they quickly stood in their respective areas according to their identities.

After everyone separated and stood in place, the bald and ferocious man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, next, students from each school should take their citizen cards to the registration office on the left to register, and then go to the Warrior Hall on the 5th floor to take the assessment. As for you social warriors, the same goes for you, go to the registration office on the right to register, and then go to the Warrior Hall on the th floor to take the assessment."

The next step is to line up to register, go upstairs in an orderly manner, and enter the warrior hall to take the assessment.

Wu Yao was in the middle of the team of social warriors on the right. By the time he signed up, thirty-seven people had already completed the test.

Among these people, only seven passed the test, and the remaining thirty failed to meet the standards and could only come back next time with regret.

“This pass rate is too low!”

"Indeed, it is much lower than last time."

"Don't make a fuss. We are social warriors. We are not like the Boy Scouts over there. We have no systematic and standardized teaching in school. We just practice a few tricks on our own. It's amazing that we can pass the test."

……

Listening to the discussions of the three people in front of him, Wu Yao couldn't help but have a more three-dimensional understanding of this world.

It seems that no matter which world it is, resources will only converge to where they are already concentrated.

Just like these social warriors, they are unable to enter martial arts gyms or schools to practice, and the little they have learned through their own unconventional means they cannot compare with the students in schools or martial arts gyms who have received formal instruction.

Affected by this, in order to obtain more resources, social warriors can only go into the wild to hunt monsters more frequently.

In this way, the death rate of social warriors will inevitably be higher than that of academy warriors. Under this vicious cycle, the authorities do not need to control these social warriors too strictly. They only need to monopolize all training resources and watch their birth and death.

"Oh, what does this have to do with me?"

No. 7 laughed at himself. He was just a passer-by, not the protagonist Luo Feng. It was not his turn to change the world.

"Li Yao!"

"Gao Binbin!"

“Liu Siya!”

"Wang Hao!"

"Zhao Sizhe!"

Suddenly, a cold voice of calling out the name interrupted Wu Yao's thoughts.

"Those whose names are called, please go to the Warrior Hall on the fourth floor immediately to take the test."

No. 7 reacted and hurriedly caught up with the three people in front of him and entered the Jidao Martial Arts School building.

As we walked along, we found that the first and second floors of the martial arts hall are places for the students to study and practice on a daily basis.

As for the third floor, it is a place specially provided for advanced students to practice.

Apart from the warrior hall on the fourth and fifth floors, the sixth floor is the office and accommodation area for the martial arts instructors. Generally, only warriors are qualified to enter here.

"Tsk tsk! Isn't this hall for social warriors to test too shabby?"

"What's so strange about this? They are just a bunch of uneducated people. What's the point of wasting resources on them?"

No. 7 frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a man with a long face and a pair of triangular eyes that made people feel disgusted at first sight. Coupled with the exploitative lips, he was even more disgusting.

Look at the short and fat young man next to this man. He has a wretched look on his face and gives an even worse first impression than the group of social warriors on his side.

As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. There is nothing wrong with this saying when applied to these two people.

No. 7 touched his chin, thoughtfully. It seemed that the discrimination against warriors in society by the upper class was far more serious than he had imagined.

"Li Yao!"

"Gao Binbin!"

“Liu Siya!”

"Wang Hao!"

"Zhao Sizhe!"

"Get on the machine and start testing!"

Soon, No. 7 was called onto the testing machine, which was a strange machine that looked like a treadmill but had five lanes.

"28.8 m/s, y-!"

"22.6 meters per second, failed!"

"23.6 meters per second, failed!"

"36 meters per second, excellent... no, excellent +++!"

……

At this time, no one paid attention to Zhao Sizhe's performance, and everyone's attention was focused on No. 7.

At present, No. 7's body has not yet been transformed by the immortal elixir of ice and fire holy lotus seeds, but even so, his speed has already broken the fastest record in the history of Jiangnan Base, Yangzhou City, and Jidao Martial Arts School branch.

Suddenly, a strange hissing sound was heard in the warrior hall on the 4th floor, and the air suddenly became cold.

Until the instructor in charge of the test reacted, he enthusiastically stepped forward and pulled No. 7's arm, saying, "Come on, come on, friend, now you can test your punching strength and nerve reaction speed in one go."

Although Li Yao's results were impressive, he was much better than No. 7. Seeing the instructor leading the test taking No. 7 to cut in line and complete the remaining punching strength and nerve reaction speed tests for prospective warriors, Li Yao opened his mouth, but finally held back.

If No. 7 was just slightly stronger than him, that would be fine, but No. 7's speed was a full 7.2 meters per second faster than his.

The key among the keys is that 30 meters/second is a huge chasm for warriors.

Under normal circumstances, only junior apprentices who have reached the level of quasi-warriors or generals can reach a speed of more than 30 meters per second.

Li Yao swallowed his saliva subconsciously when he thought of this, and whispered: "Could this be a great god hidden among the people? 36 meters per second, this speed is much faster than that of a junior apprentice. This... this is too outrageous!"

At the same time, the triangular eyes and the wretched fat man who were eliminated from number five were also stunned and shocked by the speed of number seven.

"Second brother, are we seeing things?" said the wretched fat man.

“…” Triangle Eyes fell silent, his face turned from white to red, and then from red to black.

At this time, three students from the school who had taken the test and were eliminated came down from the fifth floor.

The sturdy young man who was leading the group saw the man with the strange triangular eyes and the wretched little fat man, and asked in confusion: "Hey, second brother, third brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh." The wretched little fat man reacted and quickly replied: "Sha Shao, did you see that? The speed tested by that kid actually reached 36 meters per second!"

"36 meters per second?"

The young master Sha mentioned by the wretched fat man raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Liu Sanpang, are you out of your mind? Just this group of social warriors, who have not received any systematic training or professional instruction, and are born in the wild, can reach a speed of 36 meters per second. I'm telling you, if this is true, I'll change my name..."

The instructor who was maintaining order heard the voices of the wretched little fat boy and his gang and shouted, "You kid over there, you've been eliminated. Why don't you get out of here? What are you still doing here?"

"Instructor Wang, my classmate said that after the test, the man's speed reached 36 meters per second. Is this true?" Sha Shao stepped forward and asked.

When Instructor Wang saw Master Sha, his expression immediately became kind and he smiled and said, "Yes, it's true. Why is Master Sha interested in this person?"

"What do you think, Mr. Sha? I didn't lie to you!" said the wretched little fat man proudly.

Snapped!

The next second, Sha Shao's face darkened, and he slapped the wretched little fat boy's greasy face hard. After that, he sighed and said, "Idiot!"

Wow!

After Sha Shao finished the fight, he went downstairs without looking back, and a group of lackeys hurriedly followed him.

In the end, the only one left was the wretched little fat boy who was covering his face in a daze, looking confused and wondering why Master Sha hit him for no reason?

"Humph!"

Instructor Wang was left aside by Master Sha, and his face darkened. He turned around and stared coldly at the wretched little fat boy, "Get lost now!"

"..."

The wretched little fat boy felt a cold murderous intent and shivered with fear. He quickly responded, "I'll get out of here!"

Before he finished speaking, the man disappeared.

This speed is much faster than the test.

Only 0.5 m/s away from reaching the passing speed of 25 m/s for quasi-warriors.

On the other side, after Sha Shao came out of the Jidao Martial Arts School building, he turned around and looked up at the fourth floor. He raised his hand and moved his fingers, and Triangle Eyes hurried forward.

He said calmly, "Help me check the background of that guy just now, and wait until he finishes the test, and try to recruit him for me."

"This……"

Triangle Eyes was stunned, and feeling Sha Shao's murderous gaze, he quickly responded: "Don't worry, Sha Shao, I will definitely recruit that old guy to your side."

"Go!"

Only then did Sha Shao leave with satisfaction. As for whether No. 7 would refuse his recruitment, it was not within his consideration at all.

……

At the same time, in Warrior Hall No. 4.

The instructor who was in charge of the test pulled No. 7 to a dynamometer and said, "Come, let's test your punching strength first."

"it is good."

No. 7 responded, took a stance, combined his body and strength, and the moment he threw a punch, he decisively retracted 10%. Just like that, with a loud "bang", the dynamometer that could not be damaged even by a warrior with a punch of tons was actually scrapped by his punch.

"..." At this moment, the instructor in charge of the test opened his mouth so wide that an ostrich egg could be stuffed in. After a long pause, he stared at No. 7 in amazement and said in a trembling voice: "You...you you, you..."

You talked for a long time but couldn't finish what you were saying.

"not good!"

No. 7's heart sank. This was not the result he wanted!

Exposing too much strength at once would not be conducive to his perfect integration into the Devouring World.

It’s a pity that things have come to this point, and he can only take it one step at a time.

The big commotion made by No. 7 naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the warrior hall on the 4th floor.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on No. 7.

No. 7 reacted and spread his hands and said, "Instructor, this machine is a bit too fragile."

"..." Everyone was silent.

"Boy, do you want to be my Li Hao's student..." The test host Shui Guan said halfway, slapped his head and said: "Forget it, I am not qualified to be your teacher."

After a pause, he said with deep emotion: "Don't worry, you don't have to pay for this machine."

"I don't have to pay for it." No. 7 let out a long sigh like a normal person.

"Okay." Li Hao waved his hand and said, "Next, it's time to test the speed of your nerve reaction."
