Origin Paradise!

A row of important figures, in the eyes of ordinary people, took their seats one after another, a total of fifty-six seats, with Secretary-General Yin, Mr. A, the commander of the army, and the heads of various families in the very center.

Jiang He sat down on the left edge. He is now the leader of a large G4-level settlement and the deputy director of logistics for the G4-level security agency. The latter was the result of a private conversation after the small meeting last night. The deputy director of logistics has more reputation than real power.

"Boss, the competition will last for two days. The commander will attend the closing ceremony tomorrow to give a recruitment speech. The first stage is the project competition, with 2046 participants."

Behind someone, the bodyguard A-Da, one of the two henchmen, leaned down and whispered.

Jiang He felt a sudden, throbbing pain in her temples and couldn't help but rub her brow.

This is outdated news from who-knows-when.

"Okay, but keep quiet."

"Yes."

Ah Da happily stood back up and continued to act like wooden figures with Ah Er.

Beside him, Snakehead cracked sunflower seeds and chuckled, "Your two subordinates are a bit dim-witted, aren't they? I heard Secretary-General Yin is trying to get you. You have a grudge against him, don't you?"

Not far away, Young Master Tu was not interested. Secretary-General Yin did indeed hold great power, but he was neither a giant nor a current leader, so the new member had no reason to be afraid.

“He used to be my boss.”

Jiang He beckoned, and A-Da and A-Er immediately brought out three plates of braised bear paws from the tea room.

The snakehead fell silent. Even a powerful family of councilors couldn't afford to eat high-ranking wild beasts every day.

"I now declare the competition officially open, and all referees shall take their positions immediately."

The military academy director announced over the loudspeaker that the director was also a G4 level officer and was currently seated on the right edge of the highest position.

"It's started! Look, it's Lord Aira!"

"Tong Fei has appeared!"

"The Ai family's genius young mecha pilot is so beautiful."

The competition began, and only the top ten in each event had the opportunity to enter the forest survival stage. Among the favorites to win, two were junior members of the Ai family, which greatly boosted the prestige of the Ai family head next to the commander of the first army, and he received a constant stream of congratulations.

The most eye-catching event was the fighting competition, which resembled underground boxing matches, with the participants putting on a fiery show in every fight.

As Ai Liang delivered a powerful punch that broke his junior's cervical spine, causing blood to splatter on the stage, the atmosphere in the arena reached its peak, with cheers erupting in waves.

Jiang He took a bite of the palm meat and casually asked, "Does the rule apply to dead people too?"

Without looking up, the snakehead replied, "There are quotas. As long as there are no more than thirty people, it shouldn't be a problem. Few of these trainees are capable of killing. However, if you send Tu Er down, I estimate that people will die every time. He's about to become a high-level superhuman."

Beside them, Young Master Tu was tearing into a bear paw and muttering, "What's the point of this childish game? If you ask me, quality is more important than quantity. As long as you don't die, you don't lose. Do you think the wild beasts and dark creatures will stop after a few hits? Don't hurt others and yourselves when you get out of here."

Jiang He wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth. "It doesn't look good."

"really."

"No fun, just get to work."

The three of them wolfed down their food, the aroma filling the air, and more and more people began serving dishes from the highest seat.

“A very small number of people should be mindful of their behavior. I won’t say who they are, but please remove their plates from the table.”

Mr. A was unusually annoyed. In front of everyone, the eldest son and "daughter" of the Ai family were making a great impression, while his subordinates were indulging in a feast. Even if Fortress TV knew better and wouldn't broadcast it, it was still going too far.

Jiang He handed the empty plate to A Da, who had finished eating.

On the ninth step, in the VIP seating area, the youth association president saw someone looking down at him and immediately perked up and opened his mouth, only to find that the other person just glanced at him.

Jiang He had no interest in the arrogant president of Hongwen; he would just kill him when he had the chance.

"An S-class damaged mech, it looks pretty intimidating."

S-class mechs represent dominant combat power, standing ten meters tall, far surpassing military mechs in their class, and each has its own unique nickname.

The “Fortress Interceptor” standing in the center of the venue is the prize for the competition champion. Its energy core was severely damaged, but it is otherwise intact. It is equipped with unique devices such as a super torque drive, gyro stabilizer, elbow rocket thruster, dry ice jet cannon, and beast spine chain sword. Its body is jet black and smooth, humanoid in shape, and has a cold and hard appearance.

"Dawn, please do something."

"Reporting to Master, you can activate the synchronous operation mode to control the Dawn Man. This function is mainly used for emergency response by company employees when the Dawn Man frightens new residents. I will synchronize your actions with the Dawn Man's."

"I am unable to make any major moves right now."

"The plan has been changed; I will now simulate the effects on your muscles."

A pair of nano glasses extended from the Wild Hunting Pendant. After Jiang He put them on, he gained A-Da's perspective. As the muscles in A-Da's left arm twitched, A-Da suddenly raised his left hand.

"It feels like piloting a remote-controlled mech."

"The company hasn't researched this technology in depth."

"Does technology have a name?"

"Nothing yet, but it is suggested to name it Descent Mode."

Jiang He secretly flicked out the disguise brooch, and Ah Da behind him left the platform as if possessed by a ghost. The S-class mecha is a heavy weapon of the fortress. Without the authorization of the council to unlock it, it cannot be activated by an individual. He even suspected that if there was no Chosen One, the council would not have offered such a heavyweight championship prize.

"Ah Da's command center has been shut down."

"Descent Mode is now officially activated."

……

From the perspective of the elevator, it is falling.

Jiang He piloted the Dawn Man to the student rest area. He had his eye on the S-class mecha. Putting aside the advanced technology on it, just its ten-meter height made it a great laborer.

The atmosphere in the rest area was extremely heavy. The performance in this competition would determine the quality of the trainees, and their treatment when joining different factions in the future could be vastly different.

Jiang He piloted the "Descent Container" into the men's restroom and waited for a few minutes before a Wolf Tail student walked in with his head down.

"Junior, have you gone on stage yet?"

"not yet."

What program did you sign up for?

"Fighting, I guess. I just hope I don't run into Ai Liang."

When will you be on the field?

"In another ten minutes or so."

For the next few minutes, Jiang He was astonished. This guy answered all his questions without hesitation. Jiang He felt completely at ease and even thought he could trick the guy into entering the park.

"Hey, junior."

"What's wrong, senior?"

"Someone else might have let you off the hook, but unfortunately I have no conscience. When you wake up and report to the Corps, I'll give you the position of company commander."

"Senior, what did you say?"

Jiang He controlled the Dawn Man to knock the Wolf Tail Youth unconscious with a single punch.

Chapter 218 Schedule Progress

The game is about to begin.

When Jiang He rode the Dawn Man out of the restroom, the appearance of the descent container had changed to that of a wolf-tailed youth.

Ah Er was waiting at the door.

“If we carry him away, he should be able to sleep for two or three days.”

"clear."

Ah Er stepped into the restroom. With the boss's internal energy transformation skills, even using only the basic body of a Dawnman, he could accomplish all sorts of incredible effects. All he had to do was move the unlucky guy without attracting attention. With the Dawnman's AI's dispatch and command, this was not difficult.

"Lord Ai Liang, give him an uppercut in the chin!"

"Tong Fei has already qualified for the next round!"

"That damned adopted son of the Ai family! He used technological weapons! This isn't a fight! Pay me back!"

The competitions in the dozen or so event areas in front of the venue were in full swing. Ai Liang won another match. Lin Ye, the Chosen One, also signed up for the fighting competition. The fighting competitions in the fortress did not require unarmed combat. He was using a blood-red longsword, which was obviously not an ordinary weapon.

Jiang He walked out of the lounge and sat down on a bench in the preparation area. The overwhelming enthusiasm of the citizens was overwhelming. The rebellion would be launched tomorrow evening when the commander came to give a recruitment speech. His assigned task was simple: just take care of a few top-level superhumans in the commander's personal guard.

"In theory, winning the championship shouldn't be difficult. My Transformation Realm is enough to deal with these kids. The only thing we need to consider is..."

"What is neutralizing force?"

In an instant, the temperature in the preparation area at the edge of the arena seemed to drop by more than ten degrees. The trainees who were about to take the stage all felt a chill. Just as ordinary people would lose their courage when faced with the roar of a tiger at close range, and livestock would cower in fear when faced with a butcher, the people sitting on the scene at this moment were predators who were far more powerful than tigers.

Jiang He turned her head, her gaze calm as still water.

He wasn't muttering to himself just now.

On the bench, a girl with delicate and aloof features covered her chest with her hand and shifted her body slightly to the side. She was wearing a short skirt, the women's uniform of Fortress Academy, and her black stockings were quite eye-catching. The banner behind her clearly read "Non-human Observation Club".

"Please don't look at me like a bully." The girl's expression showed disgust.

Jiang He looked at the banner and said, "The Non-Human Observation Club only consists of you and Lin Ye, right?"

Although he came from a barbaric border region and occasionally saw giants of foreign stowaways in the irrigation ditches, he was still somewhat familiar with this classic plot: if there were no clubs in the school, the male and female protagonists would lose the space to be alone and communicate.

"This has nothing to do with you." The girl's eyes were clearly not as clear as the wolf-tailed youth's; she possessed the necessary vigilance.

Jiang He turned his head, and the change in the other person's body temperature had already given him the answer. This guy had the ability to read minds, but it wasn't a big problem. His high agility and mental strength accelerated his reaction and thinking. Even if an ordinary person had the ability to read minds, they couldn't keep up with the speed of his thoughts.

[Executor's Exclusive Notification: You have come into contact with an important figure in your life—Tong Xue, the eldest daughter of the Tong family]

Jiang He remained expressionless. To him, this Miss Tong was a necessary hunting target. The Destiny Crystal could enhance his most fundamental passive skill in shooting, so there was no possibility of letting her go. Although the Tong family had a powerful background as a G5-level councilor, there was still plenty of room for maneuver in the forest survival stage of the competition.

Silence fell around the bench. Not long after, Tong Xue got up and went to participate in the command simulation project.

"Please proceed to the designated ring in the fighting arena, contestant number 333."

Jiang He manipulated the Dawn Man to leave the bench.

Combat is the most popular event, with over 500 people signing up out of 2,000 trainees. Even if the top ten don't achieve good results in forest survival, they can easily get jobs in the security departments of large companies. In the wasteland environment, these security departments all have gun licenses.

On the tenth arena, the referee beckoned someone up and said briefly, "Win and advance, lose and retreat. Theoretically, if you win nine consecutive matches, you can become number one. Understand? Let's begin."

Jiang He was speechless; the rules were indeed simple and brutal.

As the referee's whistle blew, the robust student on the other side of the ring took a step forward. The combat course at the military academy incorporated the essence of the Ninth Army Group and was very clean and efficient. He started with a probing jab.

"If I hadn't become a player, I might have had to consider avoiding it or being aggressive, but now there's no need."

Jiang He watched as the jab rapidly approached, raised his right hand and flicked it with a flick of his wrist, unleashing a surge of energy. An invisible gale howled, and although his palm was still half a centimeter away from his opponent, it felt as if he had touched a solid object.

call!

A strong wind blew in, making the clothes of the people present flutter. The strong trainee was lifted off the ground in an instant, as if a windmill had spun around a dozen times in the air, before falling to the ground with a thud a few seconds later.

"You two, stay still and preserve the scene!"

The referee quickly called over the inspector, as it was a foul for someone with superpowers to participate in the competition.

Several expensive machines scanned back and forth, but the Dawn People who descended into the container were just ordinary beings. There were no extraordinary factors present, and the only flaw, the command core, had been shut down. Even on CT scans, it was just a super tumor the size of an apple.

"Everything... is normal." The inspector patted the instrument, saw that the results on the screen had not changed, and looked up to report.

The referee's expression was not good; how could it be normal for someone to be sent flying by a slap?

"Athletics Arena Number Ten is temporarily suspended..."

Before the words were finished, a college staff member ran over and whispered to the referee, pointing to the VIP seats at the highest point of the venue.

The referee looked in the direction the finger was pointing.

"He's the man from the Security Bureau's Logistics Department who's wearing sunglasses. We were notified before the competition that we should take care of him."

"I see."

The referee coughed twice and blew his whistle seriously.

"The result is normal. The competition continues. The next contestant will take the stage."

Due to the instrument detection, Arena No. 10 attracted a lot of attention, and the betting pools also turned their attention slightly towards it.

The second trainee was a lean young man, his body as strong as steel, clearly having undergone grueling training. He carried a long sword with saw-like notches along the edges.

"start!"

The referee waved.

The young man thrust his sword straight forward, his footwork agile yet swift. He had paid attention to the previous students' failures and deliberately avoided hand-to-hand combat.
