Out of the cage

In the year 1102 of the star calendar, when Master Wei Keng, who is ordinary in the market, is thinking about his tax rate, some people with swords in their hands will be extremely powerful at this time.

At this time, although it was nine o'clock in the morning, the sun had already risen, but surrounded by buildings hundreds of meters away, there was still no sunlight on the street, and the street lights were still on. Even if you look up at the sky at this moment, you can't see anything except being dazzled by the dazzling lights radiating from the building up and down.

The sky and sunshine do not belong to ordinary citizens of Oak City.

...

On the second ring of Oak City, the Oak City Swordsman Academy is holding a graduation match.

On the top of the four 600-meter-high buildings, circular energy platforms rise up one after another, vertically upward for 500 meters and then spread out, pulling up one after another energy interface, marking out a huge space with a total volume of more than one cubic kilometer .

The energy interface maintained by such technology is like constructing a three-dimensional sword fighting area above the city.

If you look at this panorama from a higher sky, on the top of the building around the cubic space, the seats have been arranged like dust in the opposite building. After the urban elites take their seats, the seats are suspended in the air immediately, so that they can enjoy the best viewing angle . (Except for those who are afraid of heights and those who dare not play the jumping machine.)

On the top of the four base buildings in this three-dimensional space, swordsmen dressed in their team's battle uniforms lined up at an interval of 20 meters.

As swordsmen in the technological age, their combat uniforms are not frivolous, but close-fitting, practical, and full of technical sense.

In fact, the style of these tight swordsman costumes with all-ceramic shells comes from the clothes of the combat teams on the spaceships of interstellar civilizations thousands of years ago. The shape is slim and the finish is clean. Of course, functions such as optical invisibility and temporary energy shields have been deleted because they are not needed in the new era.

The swordsman outfits on the four buildings are roughly uniform, but the logos on the chests of each group are different, which are oak leaves, acorns, oak flowers, and a tree ring pattern like an eye.

...

If we say that four months ago, the "Swordsman Contest" where the common people in the city collectively reveled was only "Xia Li" and "Ba Ren", the current "Swordsman Contest" is "Yangchun" that the upper echelons of Oak City pay attention to and "Snow White".

So, to put it in layman's terms: Those swordsmen who were over the age of 29 to 45 came to compete for the positions of the public security forces in the city, and they were the forces to manage the civilians in the city. Therefore, common people are very concerned about the selection of these "village sages".

The current swordsman is a reserve officer who participates in the city's foreign attack.

The teenage students recruited in the Swordsman Academy are all swordsmen with great potential. However, after six years of careful training, there are not many young people who can reach the swordsman level.

Such academics, due to their strong talents, were included in the upper-level training when they were young, lacked actual combat experience, and were arrogant, so Oak City asked each school to hold an internal competition before the general competition.

...

The energy space of one cubic kilometer level is very sound-proof. In the battle cabin, when the referee is explaining the rules of the battle with a loud voice, there is no sound at all outside the buildings.

In the depths of the building, those who looked up and could only see a sliver of the sky were completely unaware of the movements in the sky at a height of several hundred meters.

Perhaps being confused is a kind of happiness.

Wei Keng, who got into the car with the dishes he had just bought, raised his head in a 'worried way'.

In the 21st century, no one can walk calmly downstairs where objects are falling from a height. For the same reason, Master Wei also feels very uncomfortable with people wielding knives and guns hundreds of meters above his head.

A swordsman seems to be insignificant to this world, but Wei Keng infers based on the intensity of his own space torsion. If calculated according to the space crack effect of a real sword, he can cut through a building with one sword.

[Qin Xiaohan in the space bubble is not worried about this matter: the one above is the swordsman, and the swordsman can only use the light blade. The lethality of the light blade is at most light armor, and the real sword can only be mastered by the swordsman. A traveler currently recognizes himself as a swordsman, but he has just mastered the ability of space cracking, but he has not yet raised his level to a higher level, so he uses his own standards to bring into the battle of a swordsman, which is originally a swordsman. Incorrect. 】

After getting out of the car in a hurry, Wei Keng sighed worryingly: "I should go."

From Wei Keng's perspective, Qin Xiaohan popped up a system pop-up window: "You have to take out that real sword, don't delay any longer."

Wei Keng: "I'll go at night." After saying this, he temporarily bypassed the inspection robot in front, and at the same time did not allow him to take pictures.

When the robot called the police, he slapped the robot on the back, and the horn system was temporarily short-circuited. When it recovered a few minutes later, Master Wei Keng had disappeared. The lights on the street are dim, and vehicles hovering above come and go.

In the monitoring space, Qin Xiaohan knew that Wei Keng was just playing it off, because Wei Keng was recently studying the "no sword" firepower method.

Qin Xiaohan held his chin and tapped his cheeks with his fingers, "How much of his thoughts can be used on what I said?"

...

When Wei Keng returned to the restaurant where he worked part-time, and then left on leave, the arena battle above the Second Ring Road of Oak City had reached a feverish stage.

Oak College's original concept of "fruit, leaf, flower, and branches are connected with each other". In the face of the generous rewards in the finals and the arrogance of the young swordsmen fighting for strength, they became broken windows.

The top students compete with each other with swords in the space warp. The entire 600-meter-high platform was filled with their constantly flickering figures.

During the competition, a training sword whose power is limited to death cannot cause serious damage is used. However, a certain young and vigorous swordsman deliberately intercepted light energy with spatial fluctuations. After accumulating a sufficient amount of energy, it exploded hundreds of times in an instant to burn the target.

Ye Group, the training sword in Meng Haozhan's hand had several "faults" and accidentally injured several people. Then, with an "innocent look on his face", he asked to change the other party's sword.

It has to be said that this kind of space interception and storage of light energy is a very high-end skill, which belongs to the special skill of the Oak City lord's family.

However, arrogance has a price to pay. Just when he thought no one would challenge him, a young swordsman from the "Fruit" group also appeared on the stage.

Horned Grinding Star, here we go. This is a dark horse that has risen this year. After he got the sword, he also emitted a powerful beam of light with the effect of space storage.

Next, the two flickered and burned back and forth in the space.

In the end, because Meng Haozhan was too panicked, he fired so many times that the training lightsaber in his hand smoked. At the moment when his hands were hot, Meng Haozhan was hit in the chest by Jiaomoxing's sword, causing him to fall down with a scream.

Actually, the power of the last sword wasn't very strong, it just scalded Meng Haozhan's chest. So to use a popular saying: "It's not very harmful, but it's very insulting."

However, when Meng Haozhan was angry. The referee, who had been watching the play slowly, announced the end of the game.

The referee glanced at Meng Haozhan, as if he had said something to him. After hearing this, Meng Haozhan suddenly calmed down, and then looked towards the Oak Building in the distance.

He can cheat because the referee turns a blind eye. But just now it was obvious that both sides were cheating, and the referee still turned a blind eye. It was evident that there were eyes watching.

...

In the fortress on the top floor of the majestic Oak Building, Meng Haozhan lowered his head.

The city lord looked at his nephew, and angrily mocked him: "What's going on today, the sword in your hand is always broken?"

Meng Haozhan: "Yes, this one"

The city lord scolded coldly: "It's not your fault, right?"

After a few seconds, Meng Haozhan did not answer.

The city lord grinned and said: "Then you shouldn't blame others, you're being clever, your skills are inferior to others, and you still have the face to dig things out of the space ring!"

Meng Haozhan: "Uncle, I—"

He trembled.

[In this era, equipment such as space rings are like mobile phone software in the 21st century. Parents can remotely know what their children want to do].

The city lord slammed the table: "Where is the mistake, do you want me to point it out, for a woman, your prestige? Your measure?"

...

After Meng Haozhan withdrew. The magistrate walked in, and the swordsman stood at a fixed position in the room, waiting for questioning.

City Lord: "It's better for you to come, have you arranged it?"

Swordsman: "It's been arranged. I have already talked with it (the horn mill star) and agreed to go to No. 38 Mineral Star for phased service."

City Lord: "Well, yes, give him three more permissions to choose swords."

Swordsman, lead the way.

Only the city lord was left in the room,

Although he is angry with his nephew, he still has to take care of him.

As a big shot, caring does not necessarily have to intervene in conflicts between teenagers to suppress the other side.

Horned Grinding Star is a dark horse, so just sell favors and give him a wider stage.

Just every move of a city lord has an impact on the entire city.

Sending Swordsman to develop in outer space is not just sending one person, it requires a large number of maintenance workers, fleet drivers, and management personnel. In short, there are probably thousands of basic personnel to match Swordsman. Moreover, space exploration will not be arranged for a swordsman alone, but a wave will be arranged.

...

At the same time, six kilometers away, on the fifty-eighth floor of the Ecological Park Building, when no one was paying attention at night, several cameras were first damaged by wires, and then a big tree in the park appeared "cracking" "With the sound of bamboo bursting, a solid sword in a scabbard was taken out from the trunk of this five-hundred-year-old tree. Then, the burst tree trunks merged under the action of stress, and the lines of the camera were installed by spatial twisting.

The action of taking the sword was completed silently.

After flashing to a safe place, Wei Keng took the time to look at the sword he was holding, only to see the words 342 years of the star calendar written on the white and prismatic scabbard.

Wei Keng: "Um, does this thing look like an antique?"

System: "This sword is the first batch of experimental swords developed by the researchers of Purple Jupiter based on space phenomena after the Star Sea Civilization shuttled and the chaos just ended."

Wei Keng: "Oh, the test product is inevitably defective, so the edge distance should not exceed 60 meters."

System: "From the perspective of nano-stacking, the stacking is perfect, just."

The system opened the schematic diagram, that is, the stacking system on this sword is not coherent, but artificially divided into multiple sections. As for the effect of ejecting the edge, it is true that it is still sixty meters, but seventy or eighty sword lights are emitted at one time.

Wei Keng: "This?" When he saw the effect like an exploding thorn ball on the demo picture, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

System: "At the time of design, there was firepower density thinking. But in the later stage of the development of real swords, the direction is the range route. Of course, your current thinking has a model to solve this problem."

[The system knows that Wei Keng is testing a technique that can only be mastered by certain fighters: flash multiple space nodes at the same time, so that the space crack (sword glow) that can only be extended once can flash seven or eight times along the same node at the station Arrive, the end of the shuttle that I can personally travel at once, which is five kilometers away. 】

Wei Keng: "Oh, I see." His attitude was not very interesting, because Wei Keng had his own experimental procedures for that plan.

System: "As for this sword, the reason why it is hidden in the tree is that when the experimenters cleaned up the inventory after the test, the internal thieves deliberately hid it in the big tree when they tried to smuggle these items out. But then I forgot (just like a woodpecker hides oak fruit), and when the Oak City Ecological Park was expanded and old trees were needed, they remained here.

Not paying attention to the system inspired by Jianmang, these hidden histories made Wei Keng feel so embarrassed.

It's like the 21st century, when parents bought Yilin and readers asked their students to improve their writing skills, and as a result, they read the joke page with gusto.

...

Qin Xiaohan in the space bubble is very helpless. In fact, she has many tasks waiting to be released.

For example, today, the swordsman contest that Wei Keng avoided. The horned star that beat up the city lord's nephew is very special and needs to be explored urgently.

At present, the Eastern Department of Time and Space Management Bureau has observed his rise in the "Empty Twisting Plane" is probabilistic,

In other words, every time the Eastern Time and Space Administration sends people to this timeline, they may not necessarily encounter him rising.

Most of the time, he was just an ordinary swordsman, but in a few timelines, he suddenly became enlightened, his swordsmanship increased rapidly, his understanding of space was excellent, and he was awakened to the sword master level above the sword master.

At present, it can be speculated that this is the cross interference of the adjacent historical line.

After the First Plane War, there was technology diffusion in some planes on Earth.

On some planes, some personnel of the Earth Space-Time Management Bureau are testing the use of resources in this area to create a tunneling "interdimensional intelligent system" (commonly known as the system). These traversal systems are now spreading out on the alien plane, which is more difficult to manage.

Now only by finding that plane area can the timeline of the rise of the horn mill star be 100% separated.

Of course, combined with the current situation of the main world in the exploration of the plane, this may be another system that was deliberately released by the Space-Time Administration in another historical area of ​​the empty twisting plane.

Now Wei Keng is lucky to meet the timeline of the rise of the Horned Grinding Star, but? ?

Qin Xiaohan: "Assign tasks to him? Hey, let's forget it, he has done a lot of main tasks."

...

The problem encountered by other traversers in the swordsman stage is that the old genius provoked them. Contradictions and conflicts between the swordsman group and the group. And Wei Keng, who was stuck in the novice stage, what trouble is he encountering now?

On the streets, some recruitment notices have been posted, and each street has been allocated some recruitment places.

The current outer space exploration of Purple Jupiter requires ordinary people, just like the great voyages of the Middle Ages consumed sailors. There is always a ten percent, or even thirty percent probability of death.

There are many causes of death, which may be the leakage of explosive gas during mining, or the leakage of the oxygen system on the back. Of course, it is more likely that it violated the Shangguan and was used to establish prestige.

The consensus reached by morality and rationality is often the mode of operation of the big society.

In small societies with dozens or thousands of people, the rule of deterrence is often more effective. In space, everyone from the top swordsman to the middle management will be decisive.

...

In Shengbanzhao Restaurant (Wai Keng is located.)

The sergeant who came to arrest Ding weighed the banknotes in his hand, "In your restaurant, there must be one person. It's been ten years, and no one of you has joined the army every time. It's unreasonable."

The owner of the restaurant looked embarrassed.

The sergeant smiled slyly: "It's still useful, shall I teach you how to do it?" His hand clicked on the "relatives" column on the recruitment document.

The restaurant owner, as if he had been thoroughly pointed out, nodded quickly: "I have relatives, I have relatives," (If you don't have this one, you can make up one within a hundred days.)

The sergeant tapped the boss's belly with the back of his hand: "Hey, isn't that the right thing to do? Spend some money and find someone to take over, and you'll be able to be stable for another ten years."
