Chapter 1 Tower Era 2121

"Human civilization is like a rolling flywheel, entering an era of rapid development... Humans have conquered the sky for thousands of years, but on this day, the sky has once again become a forbidden area for gods..."

On the podium, Pharaoh read aloud.

Yi Lin yawned and turned to look out the window.

In that direction, far, far away, there is a tower soaring into the sky, with no end in sight.

"Irin!"

Accompanied by the teacher's roar, a short electronic pen hit Yi Lin's forehead with incomparable precision.

"Ouch!"

The force of this electronic pen smashed Yi Lin's forehead into a small red bag.

Wang Fenbi, male, 40 years old, unmarried, withdrawn, irritable, small belly, it is said that the "spiritual" attribute is as high as 3.2, and the throwing accuracy is as high as 93%.

"Yirin, stand up!"

Hearing this, Yi Lin rubbed her blushing forehead, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and she slowly stood up.

"Yirin, you are here to answer this question! Human beings have conquered the sky for thousands of years, but on this day, the sky has once again become a forbidden area for gods... This day, which day does it refer to?"

Erin sighed.

Then he looked at the distant sky, the huge gray tower soaring into the sky.

"Don't you understand? If you don't understand..."

Seeing Yi Lin's reaction, Lao Wang on the podium put on a straight face and wanted to reprimand him, but Yi Lin gave the answer leisurely.

"November 11, 2111, Tower Era..."

Lao Wang's expression turned cold, and he silently held another piece of the electronic pen.

"I think Mr. Wang must be dissatisfied with the answer that the whole world knows."

Yi Lin's voice changed, and the electronic pen that Old Wang was just about to throw out abruptly came back.

Yi Lin smiled slightly and continued: "On November 11, 2111 AD, four giant towers appeared on the earth out of thin air, but in our country, there are more than 200 million giant towers in Jiaoyan Province, Chu'an Province, and Xizhou Province. The population evaporates out of thin air..."

"At 23:00 that night, 3422 artificial satellites in outer space fell towards the earth at the same time, triggering the most 'spectacular' meteor shower landscape in human history... This night was historically known as the 'starry night'. That is On this day, mankind has completely lost its supremacy in the air.”

"And from the day of November 11, 2111 AD, it is also known as the Tower Era."

"However, considering the source of the original sentence, it comes from the paper "To the Heaven That Mankind Will Eventually Lost" published on June 4, 2114 in the journal "Good Fortune" by Mo Li, a tower science researcher. This paper, through various data and experiments, has confirmed the real existence of the 'no air zone' above 3000 meters."

"So the answer Mr. Wang wants should be June 4, 2114 in the Tower Era."

After finishing speaking, Yi Lin looked at Old Wang calmly.

Lao Wang's eyes widened. He never expected that this quiet and honest student would have studied "Tower Science" so... thoroughly.

"Mr. Wang, may I sit down?"

"Cough cough!" Old Wang coughed twice to cover up the embarrassment in his heart. He straightened his expression and clapped his hands: "Student Yi Lin is serious and eager to learn, and he has thoroughly studied the history of Pagoda Science. Rin, study hard! Yi Rin, please sit down."

"Thank you, teacher."

Yi Lin calmly sat back on her seat.

This small episode did not interrupt Lao Wang's enthusiasm for class. He pressed the button to clear the content on the screen and started writing again with the electronic pen.

"This day is the greatest disaster in human history, but at the same time, it is also the beginning of a new human civilization..."

Yi Lin's gaze drifted out of the window involuntarily again, as if staring at the giant gray tower through endless time and space.

It's so... out of reach.

...

After class, Yi Lin packed up her textbooks and prepared to leave.

A tall figure walked up to Yi Lin.

Yi Lin looked up, with a bright smile on her face: "Brother Yang, it's you, what's the matter?"

While talking, Yi Lin silently read the name of the future three times in her heart.

Henry Zhang, Henry Zhang, Henry Zhang.

"Hehehe, Xiaolin, don't you want to major in Kaota in the future?" Henry Zhang asked with a smile on Yi Lin's shoulders condescendingly.

"Really..." Yi Lin put the book in her hand into her bag, and then smiled helplessly: "I heard that the country needs a large number of professionals to study 'Tower Science'. In order to respond to the call, this year's key universities across the country, The tower science major will lower the total attribute requirements, um... it is one more hope."

"Also, who made Xiao Lin just an ordinary person..." Henry Zhang had a flash of disdain in his eyes, but the smile on his face was even wider, he patted Yi Lin's shoulder vigorously, and then changed his tone: "By the way, today's history Operation……"

While talking, before Yi Lin agreed, Henry Zhang stuffed a thick stack of homework into Yi Lin's schoolbag.

"Oh...homework! It's okay, leave it to me!" Yi Lin put away the homework that Henry Zhang had stuffed in with a happy face.

"I really deserve to be my good friend of Henry Zhang. Don't worry, Brother Yang, I am a genius with strength, agility, and spiritual measurements exceeding 10.0. In the future, Henry Zhang will come out, and I will not miss you."

Yi Lin chuckled: "Yeah, who made us good friends. If Brother Yang has nothing else to do... I'll leave first."

After finishing packing, Yi Lin was about to leave the classroom with her thick schoolbag on her back.

When walking out of the door, Yi Lin suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Brother Yang, I think the weather is not right. It might rain tonight. Remember to close the doors and windows. Bye~"

Henry Zhang looked at the back of Yi Lin leaving.

It wasn't until Yi Lin left completely that Henry Zhang spit out two words with disdain on his face.

"dumbass."

...

...

"Welcome home, Yilin."

"It is now July 8, 2121, at 18:30."

The moment Yi Lin opened the door, the lights and air purification in the whole house started to operate automatically.

A sweet but unemotional synthesizer sounded.

Yi Lin casually tossed her schoolbag aside: "Xiao Yi, help me heat up a quick nutritious meal, taste B, eat it in 30 minutes."

"This is for you, Yi Lin."

Yi Lin looked up at the electronic screen.

Then put your head down.

He raised his head again.

lowered his head again

Repeatedly.

Confirmed six times.

Today is indeed July 8, 2121.

Even the AI ​​housekeeper sometimes makes mistakes. If it is normal, it will be wrong if it is wrong.

But today.

Absolutely no mistakes are allowed.

"About three hours."

Yi Lin nodded calmly, and then came to the gym.

In the gymnasium, the floor was filled with dummies.

The body of the dummy is covered with deep and shallow scratches, but these scratches are more concentrated on the neck, and the center is deeply sunken.

There are even some dummies, which are split in two from the neck, which looks a little scary.

Yi Lin came to the strength tester with a blank face.

With all his strength, he punched out.

"120KG"

Soon, a cold number flashed on the screen of the strength tester.

"It's only 120KG... If it is converted into a strength attribute, it should be around 2.0."

Yi Lin's expression didn't change.

He came to the speed tester again.

After pressing the button, countless small balls are shot from the barrel.

With all her attention, Yi Lin quickly slapped the small ball in mid-air with her palm.

"Missing 5... Dexterity is about 3.0? But it may not be very accurate... But this is enough."

Yi Lin nodded in satisfaction, and walked out of the gym without wasting energy.

After taking a shower, Yi Lin changed into clean clothes, took out a quick nutritious meal at just the right temperature from the microwave oven, and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Although it is a nutritious meal, it looks like a mysterious paste. As for the taste...

that's not important.

...

A few years ago, the chief scientist of Longguo invented a magical instrument, which can classify human talents into three attributes of "strength", "agility" and "spirit", and measure the specific values.

Among them, the level of strength attributes is related to muscle strength, physical explosive power, physique, cell activity, etc.

But agility is related to many factors such as reaction speed, running speed, and sensitivity.

As for mental attributes, it is equivalent to a comprehensive score of various abilities such as memory, calculation, observation, understanding, and abstract thinking.

The appearance of the attribute tester has completely changed all talent selection systems in human society.

Since then, all schools and units have abolished the "examination" system, and replaced it with an attribute tester to test the "measurement" attribute to evaluate each person's talent potential.

Even five years ago, the country announced to the whole country two ancient fitness martial arts "Strengthening the Body" and "Longyoubu" that have been handed down since the Ming Dynasty. As long as you can persist in exercising, you can steadily improve your strength and agility attributes. It set off an upsurge of martial arts practice among the whole people.

Just like Yi Lin's Qingcheng High School, physical education took up half of the time.

According to the data published by professional researchers, the measurements of ordinary people are all below 3.0.

By exercising stamina and dragon walking, you can steadily increase your strength and agility attributes, but the extent of the increase is related to your talent.

If a single attribute value can exceed 3.0, it is excellent, and if it exceeds 4.0, it is a genius.

And Yi Lin had undergone an official authoritative "preliminary test" three years ago, and her measurements were...strength 1.5, agility 1.8, and spirit 2.9.

And the final comment turned out to be——

"An ordinary person."

...

20:00.

Yi Lin only did one thing, practicing the body strengthening technique twice.

Promote digestion.

In the case that the nutritious meal provides enough energy, the excessive feeling of fullness should not affect the flexibility of the body.

6.5 minutes full, just right.

One point more, one point less will not work.

Too tired, too lazy, too full, too hungry.

He has made hundreds of attempts to eat a nutritious meal and do two exercises an hour later.

Just right.

20:10.

It was raining outside the house, as I remembered, it was a heavy rain that day.

Seeing that the rainstorm was coming as expected, Yi Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past three years, he didn't even dare to do such an act as spitting on the side of the road.

I was afraid that this mouthful of phlegm would trigger some unpredictable butterfly effect, which would lead to a change from rainstorm to sunny on July 8, 2121.

20:30.

Yi Lin emptied her bladder completely.

He dug out the black waterproof sweater he had prepared three years ago from under the bed, and put it on.

Then I dug out another box that had been dusty for three years from the toilet.

Gloves, masks.

And one more...

Brand new dagger.

Under the desk drawer, Yi Lin tore it hard, pulled it, and took out the small paper bag stuck to the bottom with adhesive tape.

A square, very thin paper bag.

Yi Lin carefully opened the paper bag, and there was only a small card inside, with two blank sides, nothing.

But Yi Lin carefully put the blank card close to her body.

"Let's go."

After Yi Lin finished her preparations, she walked out of the house, left the community, and disappeared in the rainstorm in a blink of an eye.
