"Sir, where are you headed?" The driver was a stronger man with a crew cut. He squeezed over and asked in a low, muffled voice.
Garon looked around at the messy streets around him. He felt that it was a little different from the main city he had imagined. Instead, it felt more like the feeling of going out of the train station during New Year's on Earth.
The street in front was a mess. There was a silver-white metal fence blocking the way. People who wanted to leave had to go through two large checkpoints before they could go out.
The people who were stopped here were squeezed together, shoulder to shoulder. There were people everywhere. Not only were there Energy Machinists coming out, there were also taxi drivers who squeezed in together. These drivers were unusually enthusiastic and even took on the role of guiding tour guides.
The man on the left in front of him was introducing the charm of this city non-stop. At the same time, he patted his chest and guaranteed that his price was the best here.
However, there were many people around him. They were everywhere and their accents were a little strange. It was obvious that they had gone through some kind of translation program.
The relatively spacious street in front was even more chaotic. Some people were arranging their luggage on the ground. Some people were holding their children and standing outside as if they were waiting for someone. There were also people who had light screens in front of them. It seemed like they were talking on the phone.
There were more people coming and going. Many of them were using floating hand trailers to carry their luggage. Above their heads, there was an unintelligible red screen of text floating and moving.
There were all kinds of shouting. Some were shouting names, some were calling relatives, some were shouting to maintain order, some were shouting to sell souvenirs and maps, and so on. The whole scene was a mess.
It gave people a feeling that they were completely in another world far, far away.
Garon narrowed his eyes. He leaned against the door and stood firm, not letting himself be pushed by others.
"Go straight to Star Core Plaza."
The driver nodded and a smile appeared on his face.
"Star Core Plaza? You're probably here for the assessment too? It just so happens that I've picked up two people who are going to that place. Come with me, sir. We can take the convenient passage on the side. "
Garon followed the man and squeezed through the crowd. They were like two fish in the crowd. They flipped over the alloy railing on the left. There was an old looking taxi parked there. There were no wheels under it, but white particles were slightly ejecting out.
The driver skillfully opened the door and got in. Garon also opened the back door and got in. As soon as he got in, he found that there were two people sitting inside. One was a man, and the other was a woman. They were very young and looked no more than 20 years old.
The man didn't look very good, and his body was very thin and weak. He even gave people a feeling that he was too weak to stand up to a gust of wind. He wore a pair of glasses and looked refined. However, his skin was slightly dark, and he seemed to be a little taciturn and introverted.
The girl was the youngest, at most sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked delicate and pretty with a slender figure. She wore a white miniskirt and thick black cotton stockings. Her breasts were faintly protruding from her white silk blouse. Coupled with her fair skin and clear eyes, she gave off a pure and beautiful feeling.
As soon as the girl saw Garon get in, her eyes lit up. She gently tidied her soft black hair in a short ponytail. Her bangs were a little long and hung down to her chin. She looked very pitiful.
There was no doubt that even though Garon's hair was messy, his strong and well-proportioned body and well-defined facial features made him look better than the other guy in the car. Furthermore, Nono was only in his early twenties in this world. He was still very young. His neat combat uniform made him look even more heroic.
The girl immediately looked at him in a new light.
"We're all going to Star Core Plaza. Do you mind if I take another person?" The driver turned around and asked with a smile.
The three of them expressed that they had no problem with it.
The driver immediately went out and stood beside the car and shouted. He seemed to have adjusted the translation system and shouted in a language that Garon could not understand.
After a while, he called in a refined woman with glasses. The woman did not say a word. She raised her hand and looked at the time. She did not even look at the three people in the back.
"Alright, let's go!"
The driver returned to the car and said loudly. "Let's make it clear. The price is the same. Two crystals for a one-way trip."
"No problem." The woman with glasses nodded. The others did not have any objections. It seemed like the price was reasonable. Garon naturally nodded and did not say anything. Judging from the others' reactions, the price was normal.
The car started to move slowly. The green sign beside the driver's window turned into a red light. It clearly meant that they were not accepting customers.
"The journey is 442 kilometers. The fare will be monitored by Soaring Travel Management Company. If you want to complain, please record the taxi number and send it to the company's website." A sweet female voice sounded.
Garon turned his head and looked at the buildings outside. Most of them were made of light yellow stone and metal. The exit of the volcano behind them was getting further and further away. When they looked back, they could only see the huge volcano spewing out endless white light pillars.
Along the way, no one spoke. The girl took out something like a phone and played with it for a while. The man with glasses took out a book to read. Time passed by slowly.
Everyone was starting to feel sleepy and started to doze off. Only Garon was still full of energy and did not feel tired at all.
Bang!!
Suddenly, the car shook violently. A huge magnetic field swept across, causing the Willpower of the few people in the car to distort and shake.
Amidst the screams, the few people in the car slammed into each other.
The girl in glasses crashed into the car door but her head was a little red.
The three people in the back row were a little embarrassed. Garon was still okay. His Willpower was out of control and his martial arts foundation was still there. This little distortion was not enough to shake him. However, he was stable. The girl beside him instinctively used him as a handrail to balance herself. She grabbed his arm with both hands and her whole body softly clung onto him.
The car stabilized. The driver in front apologized profusely. He said that there was a magnetic field storm in the air and he could not avoid it. This was a natural disaster. There would be magnetic field storms here for at least a few days. It was a common phenomenon.
"I'm sorry …" The girl realized that she was almost hanging onto Garon's body and suddenly felt awkward.
"It's okay." Garon smiled gently.
The girl let go of one hand. Her cheeks were a little red. It seemed like she was still inexperienced. She tidied up her short skirt with one hand while her other hand was still holding onto Garon's arm.
Just as she was about to let go, suddenly.
Clang!!
There was another muffled sound. The car shook again. It was actually a second magnetic field storm.
There was a low cry in the car.
The girl screamed. This time, even Garon could not completely stabilize his body. The magnetic field storm could even affect the balance of a person's body. If it was just him, he would be fine. However, one of his hands was grabbed by the girl. With a strong pull, his right hand was immediately pulled away.
Garon used both of his arms but realized that his muscles were weak. It was obvious that the magnetic field storm was not that simple. It could only affect Willpower. However, at the same time that his strength was weak, his Living Secret Technique shook violently in his body. Suddenly, a surge of strength gushed out from both of his arms. He found a stable point on both sides of his body and completely stabilized his body.
"Ah!" At this moment, there was a delicate cry from beside him.
Garon also felt that something was wrong. Looking to the side, he suddenly felt a little awkward.
It turned out that in order to maintain his balance, while being grabbed by the girl, his right hand fell onto the thigh of the girl's black stockings under her short skirt. The slender and soft thigh was warm and tempting. The girl's other hand frantically grabbed the hem of her skirt, trying to push Garon's hand away. However, it was to no avail. Instead, under this cover, it looked more like Garon's hand had reached under her short skirt, following the black stockings to the area between her legs.
"Uh …" Garon quickly retracted his hand. After living for so long, this was the first time he took advantage of someone other than his original intention.
No one noticed what was going on between the two of them. Everyone else was busy taking care of themselves. The quiet, introverted bespectacled boy kept rubbing the bump on his forehead and gasping for air. The driver in front was still swearing, while the bespectacled lady took out a makeup mirror and carefully fixed her makeup.
"I'm sorry." Garon said softly.
"It's … It's okay." The girl lowered her head shyly.
There were no more accidents along the way. After the two accidents just now, the four people in the car had a common topic. Surrounding the magnetic storm, the few of them slowly began to chat.
After a round of self-introduction, except for the bespectacled girl, the three people in the back row were all here to participate in the qualifiers.
The girl was called Reese, and the bespectacled boy was called Accord. They did not mention where they came from, but they were about the same level. They were both Level Three Energy Machinists. However, this was normal. The most common participants in the qualifiers were usually Level Three Energy Machinists. Level Fours were rare, and Level Fours were impossible to appear. Level Fours before the age of thirty had already been selected and would not appear in the qualifiers at all.
"Many people come here to participate in the qualifiers every year. However, I heard that the examiners this year have been to the Void Battleground. They are the standard combat faction. I guess most of them are focused on actual combat." The bespectacled boy was a little worried. "I'm the worst at actual combat. This might be very troublesome."
"You're not the only one who's worried about the most difficult part of actual combat." Reese recovered from her embarrassment and continued, "In the past years, computing power was the most difficult part of the assessment. In my opinion, it's easier to focus on actual combat. After all, everyone's not good at actual combat. Most of the participants in the qualifiers are theoretical Energy Machinists. If it's actual combat, everyone's about the same."
"That's true, but my prison's flowers and birds have not been fully cultivated …" The bespectacled boy was a little hesitant.
"My Rainbow Chicken is the same. How many of us Level Three Energy Machinists have fully cultivated them now?" The girl Reese comforted him. She looked like a good girl with a pure mind and a gentle personality. "Don't worry. You're worried that others are more worried than you. Don't you think so, Brother Garon? "
Garon nodded.
"Actual combat is actually not as difficult as you think. However, the number of times is too few. We can only use high concentration to make up for it. Trying not to make mistakes is the greatest victory. We have to walk the road step by step. We can't overdo it. "
His aura was the strongest among the three. His temperament was also good. His figure and appearance suppressed the bespectacled boy completely. When he spoke, he was full of confidence. It gave people a feeling that it was natural and very convincing.
"Brother Garon, can you ask me what I should pay attention to in actual combat?" The bespectacled boy asked Garon sincerely in a low voice.
As soon as he said this, the girl Reese also turned her gaze to Garon. Although she was still a little embarrassed and blushing, it was much better than before.
