"I am Xu Jie. Maybe some of you know me, and some of you don't know me. These are not important. What is important is that today, I stand here with you."
Looking at the young faces, Xu Jie, who is already in his eighties, has a somewhat complicated look in his eyes and feels deep in his heart.
In this place, he sent young students into that passage again and again, allowing them to witness the truest cruelty of the world.
However, in the end, only 70% of them came out of it. Watching these again and again was really cruel to him.
But this is a screening of real geniuses by the Federation, so as monitors, they cannot get involved. They can only take action when a real master from the alien race comes forward to take action.
"Follow the direction I pointed, you should also see that there is a door there.
What's behind the door?
I won’t tell you, but what I can tell you is that this time your mission is behind the door, and I can also tell you clearly that in the process of executing the mission, some of you will die, and The mortality rate will be very high.
If anyone is afraid, he can report it to his squad leader and submit the list to me.
Those who exit will be deprived of their seed status and return to ordinary life, because after stepping into that door, your life will start to be different from now on. "
Everyone followed the direction Xu Jie pointed and saw the door.
It's just that the door is closed at this time, and no one can know what is behind the door.
After hearing him say that someone might die if they entered behind the door, many people couldn't help but create a commotion.
But some people were not moved at all, obviously knowing what was involved.
Standing here are three grades of high school students from the thirty-six regions of the Ancestral Star, selected through regional leagues, but the number is not just 720 per grade.
There are many people like Xu Luo who do not need to participate in the assessment, so the total number of people is far more than 720, and the three grades add up to more than 2,000 people.
Among them, some people were born in truly wealthy families and knew a lot of information that ordinary people could not know. And their coming here already explained what their choice was, so naturally they would not back down at this time.
In fact, except for the people who had gone inside, even the children of wealthy families did not know what was inside. However, their families had given them death orders. Even if they died, they would die inside. The only way to escape safely was through it. Only after you come out will you be eligible to inherit the family property. If you quit, then just feel free to be a wealthy and idle person!
And in such an environment, even if some people are really scared, without anyone taking the lead, they are really embarrassed to stand up and say that they are afraid and don't want to go.
Especially when they heard that if they quit, they would be deprived of their seed status, it made some people hesitate.
There is a huge difference between the status of having seeds and the status of not having seeds, and the welfare benefits make them reluctant to quit.
"Don't feel any psychological pressure, and don't think I'm being alarmist. Let me tell you again, your life will be in danger if you step behind the door. If you are not really determined, don't risk yourself for the benefits of seed status. Life is a joke.”
Xu Jie reminded seriously.
"If anyone is really afraid and wants to quit, then tell me directly, there is no small matter before life and death, and no one will laugh at you."
Looking at Xu Luo and others, Zhang Wei also turned around to persuade them.
"Every year, many people who go in will die when they come out, so this is not a joke. If you are not confident in yourself, I advise you not to go in."
"Squad leader! What is the casualty rate?"
Xu Luo couldn't help but ask.
At this time, he was also very confused. Since people would die, why would they be brought here?
Then he gave them a chance to withdraw before leaving, and made it clear to them from the beginning. Wouldn't that way there would be no need to bring people over?
"Last year's casualties were the worst, with the death toll reaching 40%. In previous years, it was usually around 30%."
Zhang Wei gave a bloody figure.
After hearing this number, some people were frightened and turned pale.
It may seem like 30% to 40% is not much, but that is a living life!
There were more than two thousand people present, which meant that seven to eight hundred or more people died every year.
They were just young men of fifteen or sixteen years old. When they suddenly heard the news, they were naturally frightened and turned pale.
"So you think carefully about whether you want to go in or not. This is gambling with your life. After entering, you will obviously get huge benefits. But if you die, you will have nothing.
If you really want to quit, don't be afraid that someone will laugh at you, and don't worry, you will be punished when you go back, no one will blame you, just make your choice based on your own heart, and give me the answer in five minutes. "
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he turned around again. Standing at the front of the team, he did not look back at the expressions of his team members.
"Xu Luo, do you think General Xu Jie looks familiar to you?"
Xiang Lu, who was standing behind Xu Luo, suddenly spoke to him in a low voice at this time.
"I do feel a little familiar, but I shouldn't be thinking about that at this time. Have you thought about it? Do you want to go in?"
Xu Luo looked at Xu Jie, and he did feel a little familiar.
However, when he usually surfs the Internet or watches TV, this person is a frequent visitor. Now when he sees a real person in real life, it is normal for him to feel a little familiar, so he doesn't take it too seriously.
"You've already come to this point, how can you quit? If you die, just die. Wealth can be found in danger, so I will definitely go in and give it a try."
Xiang Lu gritted his teeth and was not ready to quit.
"And you?"
"I came here just to improve my strength. I don't want to look so powerless when facing an assassination next time, so I will definitely not quit."
Xu Luo didn't know what was behind the door, but since it was said that this was a concentrated training with the purpose of improving their strength, it was obvious that there were ways or places behind the door that could improve their strength. Maybe this method is very dangerous, so the mortality rate is also very high.
Although the mortality rate has reached 30%, Xu Luo is not ready to quit.
Although he was all-powerful in the Novice God's Domain, in reality, he no longer wanted to appear so powerless.
What's more, his own fighting ability is actually very outstanding compared with his peers, and he is proficient in various fighting arts, as well as swordsmanship, knife skills, etc., so his survivability is still very strong.
"That's fine. Once we get in, we can take care of each other."
Xiang Luxiang smiled.
Looking at Xu Jie, he suddenly shouted.
"I think about it, why does he look so familiar? Do you think he looks very similar to Xiaoling's boyfriend?"
"Um."
After hearing his reminder, Xu Luo realized why he felt so familiar when he saw Xu Jie. It was because he had actually met a person who behaved like that before, and that was Wang Xiaoling's boyfriend Xu Chengzhi.
It's not that the two people's faces are very similar, but that the way they behave seems to be carved from the same mold.
And they all have the surname Xu, which seems understandable.
He had guessed before that Xu Chengzhi was born into a military family, so he behaved like that at a young age.
If you think about it this way, it makes sense.
The Xu family was originally a military family.
Compared with other wealthy families, the Xu family is a little different.
The first is that they have not been around for very long.
Because the Xu family only started to become prosperous after Mr. Xu Xian, and before that it was an ordinary family.
Several sons of General Xu Xian joined the army and all achieved certain achievements in the military. Xu Jie was his eldest son.
"I didn't expect that Xu Chengzhi's elm-headed head was actually born in the Xu family."
Xiang Lu couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, they had secretly laughed at Xu Chengzhi, thinking that he was as hard as a stone and did not understand his style.
But now I seem to understand that this is a young man who was born in a military family. He has been exposed to the influence of his elders since he was a child.
Compared with the Xu family, Xiang Luzai's Xiang family is like a stone on the roadside. There is no comparison at all. One is a local family and the other is a large federal family.
"So what if you were born into the Xu family? It's not like you don't know what the Xu family's behavior is like."
Xu Luo smiled.
He actually very much recognized this aspect of the Xu family.
There are no playboys in the Xu family, which is unmatched by any other wealthy family.
He had a very fond impression of the old man, and he was willing to believe in him and support him at all costs because of his battle with the alien race and because he was a human race.
After that gambling fight, he spent a lot of money and spent all the gambling money, and even invested more, establishing a foundation to build basic stadiums in the school.
Compared with many people, this old man is practical.
Because he himself rose from humble beginnings, step by step from a top soldier to the commander of the Pioneer Legion, slowly climbed to the top of the military, and then retired.
Even after retirement, he did a lot of things.
When it comes to the upbringing of his children, although the old man's approach has been criticized by many people, it must be mentioned that it is indeed very effective.
The Xu family has very strict requirements for their children, and they do not have any resources to support them.
In addition to providing you with basic clothing, food, and transportation, the rest is to go to public school. What kind of career you will pursue in the future depends entirely on your own efforts.
Being able to climb to a high position is a reflection of your ability. If you don't have the ability, then just be an ordinary person. If you think the Xu family is a wealthy family and want some help, then you can only say that you want Too much.
In the words of Mr. Xu Xian, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. He gave these people a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and gave them enough food.
As for wanting more?
Then rely on your own ability to get it, don't rely entirely on your elders to give you anything.
Of course, although the children of the Xu family have no support in terms of resources and cannot use the Xu family's brand name to deceive, the old man will not hesitate to bully the children of the Xu family.
I can let them grow up independently, but you can't bully my people. This is the creed of the Xu family.
Among Mr. Xu's twelve sons, except for those who died in the war, only a few of them are really promising in the military. Most of them are just like what he said, living their lives honestly and not having any big problems. Achievement.
But after all, he was born in the Xu family, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, no matter how bad he is, he is not much worse, but compared to the Xu family, he seems to be relatively ordinary.
"That's true. The children of the Xu family are not as comfortable as I am."
Xiang Lu smiled, thinking that the Xu family's children were indeed not as comfortable as him.
Although the Xiang family is only a wealthy family in Tianhai City, and if you look at the entire human federation, it is indeed not on the table, but the strength of this wealthy family is real after all, and it is still relatively good for the children of the family.
Every family member will be given a sum of resources to support when they open up the novice divine domain. If they perform well in the future, the family will also provide certain support in the future. Just like Xiang Lu's brother Longing, in the past, as the Xiang family's On his first day as a genius, he received the full support of his entire family. However, after he entered college, the family's support for him became a bit weak.
But now Xiang Lu's talent is actually stronger than Xiang Xiang's, and the family's focus of training is all on him. In comparison, he is much more comfortable than the children of the Xu family.
"I think this method is good. If you have the ability, you can make your own way. If you don't have the ability, then just be an ordinary person instead of trying to take advantage of your elders. With the help of the family's shadow, the elders With no support, he will be treated like a waste just waiting to die."
Looking at Xu Jie, Xu Luo couldn't help but sigh.
Mr. Xu Xian slowly climbed up from being a top soldier, and Xu Jie was almost the same. He slowly climbed up from the grassroots level of the army, made meritorious deeds along the way, and achieved his current status by relying on his military exploits. He did not rely on Xu Jie. The shadow of the old man.
Father Xu has no sons! That's them.
No matter how unsatisfactory Mr. Xu's son is, at least he has not become a playboy.
I don't have any big achievements, I just act like an ordinary person, live my own life, and won't affect others.
Unlike some people who have no ability and only rely on the power of their family to dominate and wait for death, they still have a sense of superiority in front of others and always feel that they are superior to others.
The bad reputation of those wealthy families is basically caused by these people.
As for the real direct descendants of wealthy families, their quality is actually very good, because for those children with bad conduct, the elders will not trust them to manage the family.
