Chapter 2 Activation Mission, Blood and Iron
“???” Feng Mu was shocked.
Looking at the progress bar that kept climbing up on his retina, Feng Mu opened his mouth wide and his heart was pounding so hard that it was about to jump out of his throat.
What the hell?
Is the game becoming reality?
I, Feng Mu, a poor student who couldn't afford the college entrance examination, am about to become the founder of my destiny, the big villain BOSS Feng Mu wanted by the whole mankind? Shit, won't the water meter inspector break in the next second? When the game was just a game, Feng Mu once imagined that the game would replace reality, but when the game dream came true, Feng Mu instinctively felt the danger!
Red danger!!!
There is a police chief sitting at home. Could it be that the first step for me to become a boss is to kill my father to prove my truth? "Well, if I can really ascend to heaven in one step and bear some sins, it seems that it is not impossible, ahem~"
Feng Mu's mind was full of random thoughts, and the light screen on his retina flowed, converging into two 3D character models.
One model was Feng Mu's face, wearing the school uniform he was wearing now, standing in the halo;
The other is Feng Mu, who is sitting on the throne of destiny, his face looming, sitting in the shadows.
There are two 3D models on the left and right, and the shadows under their feet seem to be entangled and twisted in a strange way, with a symbol of downloading and transmitting appearing between the two.
[Inheritance progress 0%! ][Inheritance progress has not been activated yet, you need to complete the activation task - Blood and Iron.
Blood and Iron: You need to bathe in blood and iron and complete a death sacrifice to show your determination and rebirth.
Completion Reward: 1, Activation
2. Inherit the Iron Eater
3,? ?
The sacrificial ceremony is as follows...] A task pop-up window suddenly caught Feng Mu's eyes.
[Blood and Iron], [Death Sacrifice]?
The first two key words made Feng Mu's scalp tingle, and Feng Mu didn't even bother to look at the rewards and task steps that followed.
"Whether it's sacrificing others or sacrificing myself, I can't do it~"
It was true that Feng Mu was eager to inherit the game, but these bloody words were like a bucket of cold water that chilled him to the core.
Sacrifice oneself - commit suicide;
Sacrifice others - death penalty; no matter which of the above options, Feng Mu felt that the risk factor was too high. He might as well die before completing the mission.
Feng Mu is willing to inherit the game and bear the sin, which means first inheriting and then bearing the sin.
The activation task is to bear first and then inherit.
The former is to get the benefits first and then take the risks, while the latter is to take the risks first and then get the benefits? ! !
Damn, once the order is reversed, the nature is completely different.
Feng Mu took a few deep breaths and impatiently minimized the game interface on his retina.
He drew aside the curtains and looked out through the narrow window. The gray mist emitted from the dense exhaust ducts mixed with the polluted air into a greasy color.
"It's like a rotten garbage dump with countless colorful maggots growing and breeding in it, and I'm one of the malnourished ones!" he thought.
By the way, the night in the lower city is not strictly speaking called night, because it is not the sun that illuminates the sky, but the butt of the upper city.
People in the downtown area are more accustomed to calling the dark day "lights out!"
…When Feng Mu woke up, he had two dark circles under his eyes.
He didn't sleep much, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he dreamed of game scenes.
He ate a few mouthfuls of food and hurried out.
Feng Ju walked out of the bedroom only after he left.
Wang Xiuli saw her son's worried look and said with some concern: "My son didn't sleep well. You shouldn't have said that yesterday. You hurt his self-esteem."
Feng Ju took a bite of his steamed bun and said nonchalantly, "What did I say yesterday that was not true? It's true that he has a weak constitution and no future. Even though he doesn't refute it, he's actually been holding back his anger in his heart."
Wang Xiuli was surprised: "You knew it and still provoked him?"
Feng Ju snorted coldly: "I just want to use this method to put out the fire in his heart."
Feng Ju's tone of voice was not like speaking to his son, but more like speaking to the prisoners he punished, revealing a sense of cruelty: "Talented people holding back their anger is called arrogance, while people without talent holding back their anger will only harm themselves."
Wang Xiuli seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Feng Ju threw his chopsticks on the table and said without question: "If you want to survive in Xiacheng, you have to know yourself. I have to help him put out the fire in his heart. Only then can he stop thinking evil thoughts and honestly contribute to the family income and help Yu Huai."
Wang Xiuli is a housewife who doesn't understand these principles. She just sighed and said, "It's hard for my son."
"Bitter?" Feng Ju sneered, "As long as Yu Huai can succeed, it doesn't matter if he suffers a little as a brother. Besides, people like us who are inferior will suffer. It's good enough to be alive."
Feng Yuhuai came out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes: "Dad, when will you take me to buy a watch?"
Feng Ju had a stern face and pretended to be angry: "You've been thinking about a watch all day. I'll buy it for you on the way to school later. You must work hard to make progress in the key class and don't let me and your mother down."
Feng Yuhuai smiled like a flower: "I will work hard and get admitted to the upper city to become a rich man. When the time comes, I will definitely bring our whole family with me."
…….“The school will input the college entrance examination registration information next Monday. Students who do not take the college entrance examination can go to the Academic Affairs Office to register this week and graduate early.”
During the break, the head teacher Dong Kai came in to make an announcement.
As Dong Kai spoke, his eyes swept around the classroom and paused for a moment on Feng Mu who was lowering his head. There was not much emotion in his heart.
"Starting next week, one-third of the classroom will be empty," Dong Kai thought to himself.
Every year when the college entrance examination is approaching, a group of students will graduate early, and he has become accustomed to it.
He was too lazy to delve into the reasons behind this, it was simply because they had no talent, saw no hope, or had no money to take the exam, etc. In short, they were eliminated early by the college entrance examination.
"Wow, graduating early, that makes me excited, but actually it means being expelled from school~" A murmur came from the corner.
Then there was a burst of laughter.
The laughter may not be a sarcastic mockery, but the sense of superiority cannot be concealed.
At this moment, the entire classroom was divided into two circles. One circle was laughing with their heads up, and the other circle was silent with their heads down. It was as if they were two distinct worlds.
Ding-ling-ling——
"Okay, the next class is in the martial arts classroom, don't waste time." Dong Kai reminded and turned to leave the classroom.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A few students who were playing around followed him out. Suddenly, someone turned around and said with a smile, "If you are not taking the college entrance examination, please don't take up the equipment resources. There are not enough for everyone. Thank you~"
Martial arts courses require the use of various equipment, but due to the limited resources at No. 47 Middle School, several students usually take turns sharing a set.
As the words fell, several figures who had stood up silently froze, and then sat back in their chairs silently.
The classroom soon fell into deathly silence. Time seemed to have frozen. The figures sitting there were stiff and silent. Feng Mu became a part of the depression.
After a while, a hoarse voice said: "People are different from the moment they are born. When my father told me this before, I didn't understand it. Now, I understand it."
Numb voice: "My mother also told me that the rich have their own destiny, and the poor have their own destiny. You have to accept your destiny. Only those who accept their destiny can live longer. This is the rule of Xiacheng."
A miserable voice: "I am just indignant about this rule. Why does the government have to grade everyone? What's even more ridiculous is that only those who pass the college entrance examination can get a preliminary rating in the government system, and people like us are blank in the government system. Do you understand what blank means?"
The sad and angry reply: "It means that we are only fit to do the hardest work, receive the lowest wages, have no benefits, are not allowed to travel across districts, can only buy standing tickets when riding the train, have limited medicines when we are sick, and cannot even buy a grave when we die."
The voice of reason: "This is because after the catastrophe, the planet's resources are scarce, and the human government has designed a [blood transfusion and elimination mechanism] to tilt resources to the upper city, because the upper city represents the future of mankind, while the lower city has entered a low-energy consumption era, and the rating system has been refined."
The crying voice added: "The rating represents potential and contribution to the survival of mankind. The higher the rating, the more resources and benefits you will receive. For most people, the college entrance examination is the most important initial rating. Having a rating at least means that you are valuable to the survival of mankind. The meaning of blank ratings is that you have no value. You are waste blood in the human circulatory system. Even breathing is a waste of resources and should be excreted from the body."
Humble Voice: "It is said that at the beginning of the new era, the Blanks were all sent to the [Sleeping Zone] in groups. 200 years have passed, and humanity has restored humanitarian civilization. People like us have the opportunity to use the rest of our humble lives to contribute a little value to the survival of mankind. We should be grateful."
The emotions expressed by everyone were silenced.
"You're right. We should be grateful. I will take over my father's job next month and go to the incinerator to deal with the corpses. I'm going to the Academic Affairs Office now. Who will go with me?"
"Well, I'll go with you. I don't dare to burn the corpse. I'd better go find a job at a construction site and move bricks."
"Well, let's go to the Academic Affairs Office."
"I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life. It's boring. I want to go out and explore. One day, I want to go to the Upper City to take a look. It is said that the water in the Upper City is spotless and the air is sweet. So, I plan to sign up to join the advance team under the Investigation Corps."
"Luo Ji, you are crazy. The advance team is just cannon fodder. You will die."
"I'd rather take that chance than live like this. The worst that can happen is I'll die. I'm just afraid the advance team won't value my miserable life."
"It is better to live a miserable life than to die. Alas..."
While they were talking, figures walked out of the classroom one after another.
"Feng Mu, aren't you coming?"
"Yes, here I come."
Feng Mu responded expressionlessly, but his butt was still glued to the chair. His black pupils were like the haze before a storm, depressing and dull.
"You're not afraid of death, but you're afraid of not even having the chance to die?"
Feng Mu was in an empty classroom. The stuffy air became more and more annoying due to the stirring of the fan. He shook the water cup unconsciously.
There is a thick layer of sediment on the filter of the water cup, which is an additive that neutralizes the radiation factor.
The upper layer is not clean and transparent, while the lower layer is full of turbidity and pollution.
"Maybe in the next second, I will drink water and die. In this world, haha, there is no point in me hesitating."
Feng Mu took a gulp of water, picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom. He glanced in the direction of the Academic Affairs Office and the martial arts classroom, turned his head and walked in the opposite direction.
Those are not the paths he wants to follow. Only he can see his path.

Different choices lead to different destinies!)...
