I don't have a system but I have a hammer

…………

[Three hours later, dressed in rags, I arrived at the so-called central city through the mezzanine of the tram car. What I saw was not a bustling city, but a primeval forest with dense branches. Although the entrance There is indeed a winding path leading to a secluded place, but the road surface looks a bit worn and rough. Apparently not many people usually walk on it...]

[However, since I got the past memories of the seven-foot-old man, I already knew what the next test would be, so I took advantage of the time when the selected strong men and beauties got out of the car to gather, and put on the hat without hesitation. Kabuto, cover your face with Pobu, and blend into the crowd from behind...]

[For a time, whispers and discussions mixed with excitement and nervousness filled the eardrums...]

"Haha, I'm coming to Central City!"

"Hey, I heard that as long as you can pass the audition for the Destiny's selection, you can get a tax-free quota..."

"Yes, I've heard about it too. It seems that you can be exempted from taxes for three years, but I don't know how many places there are in total..."

"Is it the whole village? Or?"

"How is it possible that in the entire village, you can choose five households that will be tax-free for the next three years..."

"Oh, that would be great. My relatives and neighbors have always treated me well. If I can enter the audition..."

"Don't be naive. Millions of people participate in the auditions for the Destined Persons every month, but there are only 1000 people who can pass the auditions. I believe you should know the elimination rate even if I don't tell you, so don't Fantasy…”

"Since you can't pass, then why are you still participating in the selection of the Destined Ones?"

"Who said I came here to participate in the selection? I am a handsome man selected by the tax collector. I don't care about people like you..."

"Hmph! You're so arrogant just for fun..."

"That's right, you really think you are selling a piece of meat..."

"Haha, I don't want to say something so straightforward. Where do you think you will go after you fail the audition?"

"Huh? Aren't you going to be sent back to the village?"

"Hahahaha, naive, either become a slave, a beautiful man, or a death fighter. Only a very small number of people who are officially considered to have potential will be sent back to the village and trained for a few years before coming out. Do you understand? "

"Ah? This..."

"what?"

"Oh, what's all the fuss about? Let me tell you another news. Even if you pass the audition, it may not be a good thing, because only ten people are selected for the promotion competition, and they have to sign a death certificate. Do you know what this means? ? It means you may die in the promotion match..."

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

[While everyone was chatting, discussing, nervous and worried, or listening with great interest, a man in a pure black robe walked down from the front of the train with two armed guards, holding an electronic screen in his hand. He glanced at the already quiet crowd with eyes like a hawk, and ordered in a cold voice...]

"In ten minutes, everyone will be called into the city. Anyone who dares to make loud noises or make inappropriate remarks will be killed on the spot!"

[It seems that they did not expect that the punishment would be so severe. Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. While they were silent, they could only lower their heads, not daring to look at them...]

"You two..."

[Seeing the silence of the crowd, the black robe nodded and waved to the two gunmen behind him...]

"Check the bottom of all carriages now! If illegal immigrants are found, shoot them without mercy!"

"Yes!"

"... "

[When the two started to search, the black robe slowly walked to the crowd, raised the electronic screen, and said loudly...]

"Everyone must have heard about the forest surrounding the city behind me from the priests. It is the first natural barrier built around the entire central city. There is no water or food in it, except for artificial ones that appear in irregular areas from time to time. Beyond the fog, there are also a large number of poisonous insects and beasts, as well as traps..."

[As soon as they heard this, everyone's expressions suddenly became tense. There were even a few timid guys who subconsciously took a few steps back or shrank their heads, as if they had the intention of retreating. The black robes they saw were After frowning and shaking his head, he could only slow down his tone and comfort him without any pain...]

"Of course, although the outer forest sounds dangerous, your personal safety can still be guaranteed. If you are in danger, or want to withdraw, you only need to shout loudly to abstain. All traps and poisonous snakes and beasts will stop immediately, and medical care will be provided afterwards. The staff will treat your injuries, but it also means that you have given up your qualification to continue competing, so after the end, you will be sent back to your original village..."

"Besides that, your mission is to go through the forest around the city and arrive at the tram storage station in Central City, which is almost 13 kilometers away from where I am. Oh, by the way, this is not an audition, just a preliminary test. …”

[The first half of what he said was quite relaxing to listen to, but when he said that traveling through the forest around the city was just his first try, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions. Even the guy who just joined the beauty industry had a look on his face at this moment. Confused...]

[The expressions of everyone in the black robe were naturally visible, but he seemed to be the kind of guy with a cold face and a warm heart. When he saw that everyone in the audience was confused, he kindly explained...]

"Since people often sneak into Central City illegally recently, Central City officials will add a preliminary test outside the city before the audition. If there are really illegal border crossers among you, then what I will do next is This paragraph, you must listen carefully..."

[This shouldn’t be about me, right? 】

[Seeing everyone looking at each other in confusion at these words, the black robe frowned and coughed twice...]

"If you can survive the carriage inspection and the initial test, it means that you are a capable person. So even if you are an illegal border crosser, we in Central City will still welcome you..."

"But if you can't get through it, don't blame anyone. Maybe what I say is not convincing. Let me tell you this. When you choose to abstain, our medical staff will use your biological samples to identify you. If there is any discrepancy between the village location and the elector information, then even if we rescue you, we will kill you on the spot. So my friend who is an illegal immigrant and I don’t know where you are, I would like to give you a piece of advice. Even if you are about to die..."

[He glanced coldly at the people with different expressions, and the black robe pointed meaningfully behind him...]

"And don't scream, because once we catch you, you will experience something more terrifying than death!"
