I got off the bus.
The first thing you see is a towering steel wall, covered in rust and bloodstains.
Beneath the city wall, there is a narrow crack in the door. Through it, one can see the smoke-filled battlefield and hear the terrifying roars of monsters.
Occasionally, one can see blood raining down, with severed limbs and broken arms thrown into the air.
The surrounding area was a vast desert, with yellow sand everywhere and sand and stones flying in the air.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A sudden gust of wind arose, biting to the bone, and the stench it brought was nauseating.
"vomit……"
"I don't want to stay here, I want to go home!"
"Ugh, ugh, ugh..."
"Please, please take us back!"
"vomit……"
The inexperienced students turned pale and were terrified upon witnessing this scene; many of them vomited.
Even worse, some found the middle-aged man and begged him to take them back.
"waste!"
"Now that you've made your choice, there's no reason to regret it. I've already given you a chance!"
"You have one minute to rest. After one minute, report to the border assignment point!"
The middle-aged man had a stern face and spoke in a cold, authoritative tone.
"This year's batch of youngsters are not performing well!"
"Of course! It's far worse than the last one. The last one also vomited, but at least they didn't cry!"
"Hey, those two guys are interesting!"
"He doesn't flinch? That's something. This guy has a good mentality!"
"The other girl is amazing too, she can still eat snacks in this situation, I'm really impressed!"
Halfway up the city wall.
A group of people had gathered at some point and were making comments about the middle-aged man and his group.
However, upon seeing Su Bai and the girl, the expressions of the group changed somewhat.
Su Bai, in particular, with his aloof and resolute demeanor, drew their attention.
"This guy, if he's talented enough, he's bound to be a formidable opponent!"
"I'll go and find out. If he's suitable, we can recruit him into our team!"
"We can also recruit that woman!"
"..."
After a brief observation, dozens of people came down.
"Old Xie!"
One of them called out, and the middle-aged man turned around and threw the snakeskin bag he was holding at him.
The border area mainly adopts a small-team monster-killing mode. These people come here simply to recruit some new members into the team.
This move not only reduces some procedural hassles but also increases the survival rate of newcomers.
The higher-ups have always turned a blind eye to this.
"What a pity, it's only an E-rank."
"He's a promising talent, but his natural ability is too lacking. If he were in the same year as us, we could have formed a team, but not now. I can't risk my teammate's life!"
"Sigh, why is this guy only an E-rank? I'd take any D-rank he could!"
"Low talent means slow growth. Our team isn't strong enough to tolerate anyone who drags us down!"
"pity……"
The group pointed at Su Bai, their words filled with regret.
Su Bai saw all of this.
He had experienced the same setbacks several times before, so it wasn't a big deal.
He's now only focused on the notification sounds in his head.
[Killing intent fully charged, system about to awaken. Currently 10 meters from awakening location!]
10 meters.
I'm guessing this is the distance from here to the steel city wall.
In other words, the system can be awakened as long as you go inside the city walls.
Eighteen years of charging, who knows what kind of system will awaken?
Su Bai rubbed the necklace in his pocket through the pocket, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Just then, a young man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit walked over with a document in his hand.
"Hey, your name is Ye Rugo, right? I'm the captain of the 72nd squad of the Eastern Border Demon-Slaying Team. I see your file shows you have a B-level talent?"
"...Yes, it's me."
The young girl, Ye Rugo, looked at the newcomer warily and subtly moved closer to Su Bai.
"A B-rank talent here?"
"Are you stupid? Anyone with B-level talent would come to this godforsaken place!"
"Exactly, isn't it better to just study hard and get into university?"
"Judging from her appearance, she probably has some mental issues."
"That's true, everyone else is vomiting while she's eating, there's probably no one else like her..."
B-tier talent?
Su Bai glanced at Ye Rugo with some surprise.
