Chapter 116: The Old City Circle and the New World (Thanks to the silver leader of Yi Dao Zhan Zhan, additional update)
walked into the coffee shop.
The decoration inside is quite beautiful. Even in the morning, warm yellow standing lamps are lit in many places.
The air is filled with the faint smell of perfume, and unknown blues music flows quietly in the huge space.
"It seems to be a song by a famous musician from the Far Star Federation."
Lu Yuan thought casually in his mind while walking in the hall.
The Far Star Federation is the first country in the world to go beyond the planet and extend its power beyond the planet.
No matter it is technology, military or art, it is stronger than Xia Kingdom in all aspects.
Generally, things that are popular in the Far Star Federation will soon follow the trend around the world.
He was indifferent.
In the past, all he cared about was studying, but now he only cared about practicing martial arts.
There were very few people in the coffee shop at eight o'clock in the morning. Most of them were white-collar elites who had ordered a cup of coffee and were working on the computer.
There are two people in the corner playing games online with their mobile phones.
But no matter what, Lu Yuan's current look of sports jacket, sports shorts and sneakers still looks out of place with everything around him.
It doesn't matter to him.
I walked around the first floor and didn't see any familiar faces.
Then go up to the second floor.
As soon as I walked out of the stairs, I saw a woman with refreshing short hair sitting by the inner window on the second floor, scrolling through her mobile phone.
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
It was indeed Gao Qing.
Zhou Ling had just "died" once, and he guessed that Zhou Ling would not come to him so early.
Derived from his own perspective.
If he suddenly loses his martial arts strength now, it is unlikely that he will casually leave the "safe zone" before completely recovering this strength.
Lu Yuan walked straight towards Gao Qing.
Today, Gao Qing is not wearing a combat uniform, and her overall dressing style is mainly cool and black.
Her fair and shapely arms and thighs were exposed, and she wore purple star earrings on her ears.
Lu Yuan couldn't tell whether she was wearing makeup or not, but he just thought she was really beautiful.
Especially in this everyday outfit, Gao Qing's aggressive aura has weakened a lot.
But
Lu Yuan still didn't have much affection for this woman.
Who asked her to "scare" herself on purpose?
"Team Leader Gao."
Lu Yuan walked up to Gao Qing, said hello briefly, and sat down opposite her.
The coffee has been ordered and is still warm.
Obviously Gao Qing already knew when he came in.
"What does Team Leader Gao have to do with me today?"
Lu Yuan asked Gao Qing politely without touching the coffee on the table.
Gao Qing didn't waste any time. She put down her phone, her eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "I mainly want to inform you about the handling of previous violations of regulations." "Okay, Team Leader Gao, let's talk." Lu Yuan sat down for a
moment
. He straightened his posture and assumed a posture of listening carefully.
"Special treatment in special circumstances, because you are young and don't understand many things.
So this time it is not considered a violation of your rules and no punishment will be given."
Gao Qing said.
"Thank you, Team Leader Gao, for being reasonable, and thank you for the organization's understanding."
Lu Yuan expressed his "gratitude" with a "sincere attitude", and then said, "Can I leave now, Team Leader Gao?
My mother If you ask me to buy groceries, I have to rush to the vegetable market."
"."
When Lu Yuan saw Gao Qing's cold and pretty face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Then he seemed to take a breath and suddenly said: "There is one more thing, which is about your application to enter the Huangxiong." As he said that, he
took out a form from a black suede bag on the seat next to him and moved it along the table. Pass it to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked "confused".
"What application?
I have never applied for anything like this."
The corners of Gao Qing's eyes twitched slightly, as if the crow's feet were about to pop out.
"Okay, don't act like this for me.
Didn't Zhou Ling mention this to you a long time ago?
He is currently undergoing a second transformation and has no time to come over, so he entrusted me to help him go through the application process for you."
Gao Qing looked at Lu Yuan and snorted softly: "Do you really think it's me? You probably don't know how busy we are." "Okay."
Lu
Yuan reached out and lifted the paper on the table without comment. He held the form in front of him and looked down at it.
[Application Form]
There are only three words at the top of the form, which is simpler than the form for university club admissions.
"I printed this out casually. You can read it first and then fill in the electronic version when you're done."
Gao Qing spoke with a hint of urging in her tone, as if she was really busy and wanted to finish this matter quickly. Get it done, then quickly stand up and walk away.
Lu Yuan said "hmm" and ignored her, continuing to look at the form in front of him.
He doesn't have much interest in joining the Yellow Bears.
But not very exclusive either.
When you are weak, rely on strong forces to survive, so that you and the people around you can get a better growth and living environment.
Lu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Just like what happened at home this morning.
To Huang Xiong, it may only be a matter of words, but it can make their family smile for a long time.
"Name, gender, date of birth, ID number, home address, education."
The front of the form is no different from most forms.
Things started to look different later on.
"Strength assessment?" Lu Yuan subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Gao Qing, but Gao Qing stretched out his hand and pulled the form back, saying, "We filled in the rest, you don't need to fill it in." Lu Yuan didn't say anything
. , waiting for Gao Qing to take out another tablet similar to the one Zhou Ling sent him before.
Light up the screen and hand it to him.
"Hurry up and fill it in. I have something else to do. I don't have much time to waste time here with you."
Gao Qing glanced at her phone and urged.
Lu Yuan took the tablet and filled it out leisurely. Suddenly he remembered something and asked Gao Qing: "Zhou Ling told me last time that joining the Yellow Bear does not necessarily require body modification. Is it true?"
"Who has the time to lie to you as a child? It's true."
Gao Qing replied: "There are not many pure martial artists in Huangxiong. It's just that the higher you go, the harder it is for pure martial artists to mix.
I don't accept it either. After transformation, do you want me to touch it?"
After saying that, she seriously stretched out a hand in front of Lu Yuan.
"Ah?"
Lu Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Qing in surprise.
He was really shocked.
Gao Qing said she had never undergone body modification at all?
He thought she was a reformer like Zhou Ling.
Thinking back carefully, because she is a woman, it seems that I have never entered her body in the conscious space, and I didn't even notice it.
This time, Gao Qing became patient and continued to explain: "Even if you want to undergo transformation, it cannot be accomplished overnight. The
fighting habits accumulated by pure martial artists over many years of practicing martial arts are not applicable when they first undergo transformation, and their strength often deteriorates. Decline.
Unless you have not practiced in depth, you took the transformation route at the beginning. Well, this is the case with Zhou Ling." "
The advantage of pure warriors in the early stage is not smaller than that of transformed people.
Transformation materials that can really widen the physical gap, such as Rainbow iron, star-patterned steel, and blood-patterned steel are expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people. On the
contrary, pure warriors only need to equip themselves with a new material weapon and slightly adjust their fighting style. In a
short time, they can The combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary transformed people of the same level."
Gao Qing frowned and said unceremoniously to Lu Yuan: "It is indeed good for you to join Huang Xiong.
You are just a lying figure now. The toad at the bottom of the well in the old city circle has the opportunity to jump out of the well and see the real new world. It would be stupid not to seize this opportunity!" "
Then answer another question for the toad at the bottom of the well, Senior Group Long."
Lu Yuan was not angry and said calmly: "What are the old city circle and the new world?"
Gao Qing was slightly startled when he heard Lu Yuan's self-deprecating answer without any emotion, and seemed to feel what he said. That's a bit much.
A trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed across his face, and his voice immediately softened slightly.
"In Xia Kingdom, outside of Xia Bang, everything belongs to the old city circle.
There are many things that you can't even imagine unless you really go in."
Gao Qing saw Lu Yuan's mobile phone on the table and asked, "You When did you buy the mobile phone?"
Lu Yuan: "Half a year ago."
"When I bought it, it was the latest model just released by this brand." "
Yes, the price is very high. My sister spent a month's salary to buy it for me. "Yes."
Gao Qing smiled and said, "Then do you know that this mobile phone was already on the streets in Xia Bang two years ago."
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed and he said nothing.
"You don't believe it?"
Gao Qing shook her head and continued.
"..Nowadays, the Internet is indeed very developed, and information exchange is very convenient.
However, the networks in the old city circle and the new world do not blend together.
News, entertainment, art, and fashion trends are all in their own way.
In fact, they do not have to be separated. You guys are isolated, Jiaoyan City is too remote.
If you go out and get closer to Xia Bang, you will find that the world is constantly refreshing and progressing." "
I probably understand."
Lu Yuan exhaled softly, Said slowly.
This huge sense of fragmentation in the world background gives Lu Yuan a very strange feeling.
But obviously Jiaoyan's geographical location is not bad, it's just a little far away from Xia Bang.
In fact, he doesn't quite understand why there is such a situation of "old and new" circles.
It's as if every country's technological level is developing very rapidly, so fast that even the speed of Internet communication cannot keep up.
Ordinary people did not even have time to accept and adapt, so in the end they could only be isolated from the new civilization.
But
why did technology, which was developing steadily, suddenly experience explosive growth?
And is it explosive growth in all aspects?
Could it be that they picked up the civilization crystal left by aliens?
While Lu Yuan was thinking wildly, Gao Qing continued to speak.
"The same is true in martial arts. Take the Crane sect martial arts you are learning now."
Gao Qing commented unceremoniously: "If Tianliu Shui was placed more than ten years ago, it would still be considered first-rate, but these dozen Xinwu has developed vigorously in recent years, and many of the top martial arts schools of the year have disappeared.
Not to mention your mere branch of Tianliu River, the Crane sect."
"What is Xinwu?"
Lu Yuan asked with a frown, Gao Qing said something It was a new vocabulary that popped up that he couldn't understand at once.
"A new type of martial arts that combines ancient martial arts with cutting-edge technology. It can also be called future martial arts."
Gao Qing looked at him and said, "This is the path I plan to take.
Not Zhou Ling. Zhou Ling is taking a pure path. Transform the route.
That's another route. It's similar to pure martial arts. I think they are both quite extreme." "
Interesting."
Lu Yuan nodded.
Then he handed the tablet back to Gao Qing.
"I've filled it out, you can take a look."
