"Mister, where are you going?" The driver was a stronger man with a short cut, squeezed over and asked in a low voice.
Garen looked around at the messy streets around him, and felt that it was a bit far from the main city metropolis he imagined. Instead, it was more like the feeling of getting out of the train station during the Chinese New Year when he was on Earth.
The street in front was a mess, blocked by a silver-white metal fence, and people who wanted to go out had to go through two large checkpoints to get out.
The blocked people here are crowded together, shoulder to shoulder, people everywhere, not only the energy mechanic who came out, but also the taxi drivers who squeezed in together. These drivers are very enthusiastic, and they also work as guides part of the tasks.
The man in front of him on the left was eloquently introducing the charm of this city, while patting his chest to ensure that his price was the best here, none of them.
However, there are many people around like this, everywhere, and their accents are a bit strange, obviously they have gone through some kind of translation process.
The relatively spacious street in front is even more chaotic. Some people are packing large and small bags on the ground, some are holding their children and standing outside as if waiting for someone, and some people are talking on the phone like a mobile phone communication with a light screen appearing in front of them.
There were more people coming and going, and many of them were carrying their luggage on suspended carts, while an indecipherable red text scrolling screen floated above their heads.
All kinds of shouts, those calling for names, calling for relatives, calling for maintaining order, calling for selling small souvenir maps, etc., etc., the whole scene was a mess.
It gives people a feeling of another world that is completely far away.
Garen narrowed his eyes. Stand firm against the door and don't let yourself be pushed sideways by other people.
"Go directly to Star Core Square."
The big guy driver nodded, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Star Core Square? You are probably here to participate in the assessment, right? Just in time, I also picked up two people who went to that place earlier, come with me, guest, we can take the convenient passage on the side."
Garen followed the man and squeezed through, like two fish passing through the crowd, turning over from an alloy railing on the left. There was an old-looking taxi parked there. There were no wheels underneath, but a stream of white particles that spewed out slightly.
The driver skillfully opened the door and sat in. Gallon also opened the rear door and got in. Just as he got in, he found that there were actually two people sitting inside. They were a man and a woman. They were both young, and they looked no more than twenty age.
The man doesn't look very good, his figure is also very thin, he even gives people a feeling of frailty, and he wears a pair of glasses that are gentle. It's just that the skin is slightly dark, and it seems a little taciturn, introverted and stuffy.
The youngest woman, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, looks a little bit delicate and pleasant, with a slender figure, wearing a white miniskirt and thick black cotton pantyhose, with fair skin and face, her eyes are still very clear and pure , giving a pure and beautiful feeling.
As soon as the girl saw Garen sitting in, her eyes lit up slightly, and she gently smoothed her smooth black hair in a short ponytail. The bangs on her temples were a bit long, hanging down to her chin, making her look very cute and pitiful.
There is no doubt that even though Garen's hair is messy, his strong and well-proportioned figure and sharp facial features can immediately compare to the other boy in the car. In addition, Nuonuo in this world is only in his early twenties. When he was still very young, a neat combat uniform set off his heroic temperament.
Immediately let the girl with admiration.
"They're all going to the Star Core Plaza. The three of you don't mind if I pull someone else?" The driver turned around and asked with a smile.
All three said no problem.
The driver immediately went out and started shouting again standing beside the car. He seemed to have adjusted the translation system, and the language he shouted was another language that Garen could not hear.
After a while, he called up another elegant woman wearing glasses. This woman didn't say a word, she raised her hand to check the time on her watch, and didn't look back at the three people in the back row.
"Okay, let's go!"
The driver returned to the car and said something loudly. "Let's talk about it first, the price is the same, two crystals one way."
"No problem." The eye-eyed woman nodded, and the others had no objections. It seemed that the price was reasonable. Garen naturally nodded and remained silent. Obviously, judging from the reactions of other people, the price was normal.
The car started to move slowly, and a green sign next to the driver's window suddenly turned into a red light, which obviously meant that no passengers were picked up.
"The journey is 442 kilometers. The whole journey is priced under the supervision of Feiteng Tongtong Management Company. If you need to make a complaint, please record the taxi number and transmit it to the company's website." A sweet female voice sounded.
Garen turned his face and looked at the passing buildings outside, most of them were made of a mixture of pale yellow stone and metal, the exit of the volcano at the back was getting farther and farther away, and looking back, he could only see the tall volcano erupting from the source Continuous white beams of light.
Along the way, no one spoke. The girl took out something like a mobile phone and played for a while, while the boy with glasses took out a book and flipped through it. Time passed by.
Everyone felt sleepy, and they all began to take a nap at the same time. Only Garen was still full of energy and didn't feel tired at all.
Boom! !
Suddenly the car shook violently. A huge magnetic field swept across violently, causing the consciousness force field of several people in the car to twist and vibrate.
Amidst the screams, several people in the car slammed into each other.
The front was fine, the woman with glasses bumped into the car door, but her forehead was a little red.
The three people in the back row were in a bit of a panic. Garen was okay, his consciousness was out of control, and his foundation in martial arts was still there. This bit of turmoil and distortion was not enough to shake him, but he was stable, and the girl next to him instinctively regarded him as Holding the balance point on the armrest, both hands directly grasped his arm, and the whole body was softly pressed against his body.
When the car stabilized, the driver repeatedly apologized, saying that there was a magnetic field storm in the sky, and he couldn't avoid it.
"Sorry." The girl felt a little embarrassed when she realized that she was almost hanging on Garen's body.
"It's okay." Garen smiled gently.
The girl let go of one hand, her cheeks were a little flushed, she looked like she hadn't experienced much in the world, she straightened her short skirt with one hand, while the other hand was still holding Garen's arm.
Just about to let go, suddenly.
Bang! !
There was another muffled sound, the car shook for a while, and the second magnetic storm passed by.
There was a murmur in the car.
The girl screamed. Even Garen couldn't stabilize his body completely this time. The magnetic storm can even affect the balance of the human body. If it was just him, he would be fine, but the girl grabbed one hand to block the balance point. Pulling, the right hand was pulled violently.
Garen exerted strength with his arms, but found that his muscles were actually weak. Obviously, the magnetic storm was not that simple, it could only affect his consciousness, but when his strength weakened, his body was shaken violently by the secret force of life. Immediately, a force gushed out of both arms again, and they found stable points on both sides, stabilizing the body completely.
"Ah!" And at this moment, there was a soft cry from the side.
Garen also felt something was wrong. Looking sideways, he suddenly became a little embarrassed.
It turned out that in order to maintain his balance, while being grabbed by the girl, his right hand landed on the thigh of the black stocking under the girl's short skirt.
"Uh..." Garen quickly withdrew his hand. At such an advanced age, this was the first time he took advantage of someone other than his original intention.
No one noticed what was going on between the two of them, and everyone else was busy taking care of themselves. The taciturn, introverted boy with glasses kept rubbing the big bump on his forehead, hissing, the driver in front was still cursing, and the lady with glasses was He took out a makeup mirror and was carefully arranging his makeup.
"I'm sorry." Garen said in a low voice.
"It's okay." The girl lowered her head shyly.
There were no more accidents along the way. After the two accidents just now, the four people in the car also had a common topic. Around the magnetic storm, several people also began to chat slowly.
After some self-introduction, except for the lady with glasses, the three people in the back row are all here to participate in the selection competition.
The girl's name is Ruisi, and the guy with glasses is called Accord. I didn't say where they came from, but they are all about the same level. They are all three-level energy mechanic, but it is also normal. Generally, the most common ones participating in the selection are third-level energy mechanic, and fourth-level energy mechanic It is very rare that the fifth level is impossible to appear, and the fifth level before the age of thirty has already been recommended for selection, and will not appear in the selection competition at all.
"There are a lot of people who come here to participate in the selection every year, but I heard that the reviewers who came this year have been to the Void Battlefield, and they are standard combat factions. I'm afraid most of them pay attention to actual combat." The boy with glasses said a little worriedly, "I prefer What’s worse is the actual combat, which may be very troublesome.”
"In actual combat, everyone sees the most difficult point, and you are not alone." Reese recovered from the embarrassment, and then said, "In the past, computing power was the most difficult point of assessment. In my opinion, actual combat is the focus. Take it easy, after all, everyone is not good at actual combat, and the vast majority of those who come to participate in the selection are theoretical energy machinists, and if you really want to actually fight, everyone is pretty much the same, there is not much difference."
"That's what I said, but my prison flowers and birds haven't been fully cultivated yet." The boy with glasses hesitated.
"My rainbow chicken is still the same. How many of our third-level energy machinists have been fully cultivated now?" The girl Reese comforted. She seemed to be a good girl with a simple mind and a gentle personality. "Don't worry, you worry that others are more worried than you. Brother Garen, don't you think so?"
Garen nodded.
"The actual combat is actually not as difficult as you imagined, but the number of times is too small, and we have to make up for it with a high degree of concentration. Striving for no mistakes is the greatest victory. The road has to be taken step by step. Don't be too aggressive."
He has the most aura among the three, and his own temperament is also good. His body and appearance are so suppressed that the boys with glasses are completely unqualified for comparison. When speaking with full confidence, it gives people a sense of taking it for granted, which is very convincing.
"Brother Garen, can you tell me what should be paid attention to in actual combat?" The man with glasses asked Garen sincerely in a low voice.
As soon as the words came out, the girl Ruisi also cast her eyes on Garen. Although she still blushed a little embarrassed, she was much better than before.
