Chapter 2 Oh, why haven’t you awakened?
Ye Nai responded and walked onto the big stage. First, she signed in again with the officer who was standing next to the awakening stage and was responsible for taking records. Then she walked to the awakening stone and took a deep breath. Take a breath and cover it with your hands.
The Awakening Stone's tentacles are cold and absorb heat quickly. Ye Nai can even feel that her palms, which were heated due to nervousness, are cooling down, and then a thin but very present cool air flows from her palms along her arms. Enter the body, pause for a moment at the Dantian under the lower abdomen, then exit the same way, and then there is no reaction.
Everyone in Ye Nai was stunned and stood there in a daze.
Didn’t she wake up?
Why no color? !
"Not awakened, next one."
The officer's voice shocked her. She hesitated for a few seconds, but still didn't respond. After repeated urging, she fell down in despair. .
On the way back to class, Ye Nai tried to mobilize the power in her body and easily released a small pod of spores from her palm.
The tiny spores invisible to the naked eye, even just this spore, was not seen by anyone, and the soldiers around them did not react at all. They flew freely in the air and returned to the place where they did not take root. Inside Ye Nai's body.
Ye Nai: "..."
Now the fun is great.
Fortunately, I saved her by accident because I wanted to give her family a big surprise and kept it a secret for the time being.
Without an official certificate of awakening, it is not a recognized awakening. Her family members do not know what happened to her, so quarrels are avoided.
This kind of thing that makes people happy for nothing can be heard every year in the community where she lives. Outsiders don’t know what the person involved thinks, but they will definitely say that they are hysterical. Anyway, No nice words to say.
Ye Nai returned to the class team, and a group of unawakened classmates gathered together to comfort each other.
The two awakened classmates stood proudly on the side, holding the newly printed awakening certificate in their hands, mocking them for hugging each other to keep warm.
"How pitiful, a group of ordinary people. The most valuable thing in life is to have children. I hope to have more children. It depends on you to maintain the country's population."
"Haha Haha, I hope you will be kinder to your children in the future, and don’t wait until your children grow up to complain that you will have to calculate living expenses with them when they become adults.”
“You two have awakened combat abilities, and you will enter the plane channel to fight in the future. Life and death are unpredictable inside, I wish you all a long life.”
Ye Nai sneered back with a cold face. There is no need to be nice to people who are mean-mouthed. The awakening certificates in their hands made her even more dazzled. She couldn't figure out why the awakening stone showed no response even though she was clearly awakened.
"Yes, yes, the harder you work, the life safety of us ordinary people will be left to you."
"I hope you will work harder and find a partner who is also awakened in the future. Don't lower your standards, come on."
"What about the combat ability? It's not good enough to be taken away by the army on the spot. I can only join a private team in the future. I hope your boss won't cheat anyone."
Other students also followed, saying blessings on the lips, but in fact they were very angry. After successfully crowding out the two people, their expressions changed and they walked away angrily.
No one thinks that they are wrong in anything. These are all objective descriptions. So what if you are awakened? It depends on whether you can survive and climb up to become a master. Otherwise, it is just the cornerstone of the pyramid of the awakened, or even the ashes.
While they were chatting and waiting, the third class also finished. It was worse than the first two classes, with only 3 people awakened. The head teacher led the team out of the auditorium, congratulated the awakened students, comforted the unawakened students, and then asked the awakened students to go home first.
The remaining students stood in two rows and listened to the class teacher's instructions.
“Everyone knows what I’m going to say, so I’ll keep it short. I’ll discuss it with my parents when I go back. Those who want to continue their education should get the college entrance examination registration form from me. Those who don’t study should also fill out the form, and then wait for notification from the school to get their graduation form. If you want to make money but can't find a job, don't forget to sign up for the school's hazardous area garbage removal team. It will be much safer if you have someone to guide you. With experience, you will know how to do it alone in the future."
There is a buzz among the classmates that this is indeed an old saying every year, it is not easy to get into higher education. Except for the awakened and the top students, most people just enter the society after finishing high school.
Schools organize teams to clean up garbage, which can alleviate the anxiety of young people eager to make money, so that their parents will not say that they are eating for free.
This garbage collection is the cause of the alien invasion.
The enemies on the land were driven back to the plane passage, leaving behind old battlefields and garbage left on the battlefields all over the country, which greatly damaged the ecology.
The ecological environment of Blue Star cannot digest those dirty things. Over time, it has turned into areas with high pollution, high pathogenicity and high contagion. If you look at it on the map, it will look like Like alopecia areata in the land.
There are too many of them, and most of them surround the plane passages, and are classified as dangerous areas by the country.
A large amount of land is wasted in dangerous areas, industrial and agricultural production is insufficient, and the tertiary industry is also failing. There are few jobs and ordinary people have difficulty surviving. The average life expectancy has dropped to more than 50 years and less than 60 years old.
But these garbage have now become a guaranteed occupation for the whole society. Ordinary people who can't find a job and awakened people who can't develop their abilities, as long as they are not afraid of death, go to places like this to collect garbage to make a living. Good work, pay the bill on the same day.
I no longer study, my family is unable to arrange a job, I have no skills, and I am eager to make money. It is the best solution to work with the school team to collect garbage. This has even become a common practice in high schools across the country. It's called sending students off on their last journey.
The class teacher finished the training and announced the disbandment.
Ye Nai walked with three female classmates who were traveling the same way. The four of them strolled to the market, bought groceries and went home to cook. Girls of their age grew up doing housework.
I bought sprouted white tofu and potato dumpling wrappers, and Ye Nai bought three kilograms of pork ribs, making her three classmates envious.
"Ye Nai, did you buy so much meat today? Is there something good going on at home?"
"No, this is my last subsidy. My mother allowed me to have a good meal."
The state distributes minor subsidies on the first day of every month. This April 5th is her 18th birthday, and it is also the last minor subsidy given to her by the state. It is indeed her parents who gave her the money last night to allow her to Buy more meat.
Meat is not cheap these days, to be precise, it is cultured meat. Among chicken, duck and fish, only chicken and eggs are the cheapest. The main source of protein for every household is chicken and eggs. The poorer ones eat parts with less meat such as wings, feet, necks, etc. It’s rare to eat red meat a few times a month, let alone fish and shrimp.
So when seeing Ye Nai buying ribs, it’s no wonder that the female classmates made envious sounds.
"Your parents are so kind to you."
"It's not bad."
Ye Nai didn't smile too happily, she knew her own family affairs.
