Chapter 1 Automatic AFK Cultivation System
Chapter 1 Automatic AFK Cultivation System
Xinghuo Town.
Located in a remote border town of a fallen kingdom in the western part of the first mountain range of the Yulan Continent, the "Monster Mountain Range".
As the sun rose, Xinghuo Town still retained a touch of morning chill. However, in the town's central square, a large group of people were doing their morning exercises.
In Xinghuo Town, whether they are strong, grown men or seven- or eight-year-old children, they all do a short morning exercise in this square when the sun rises.
In the central square, the sun's warmth shone on the large trees beside the surrounding open space, leaving only dappled light spots on the ground.
As time passed, the strong adult men, having finished their brief morning exercise, began their day's work, while the newborns were mostly half-grown children, numbering about two hundred. These children were divided into two teams.
Both teams were divided into several rows, and the children stood quietly in the open space with serious expressions.
Among this group of children, there were only fifty or sixty people, all of whom were between six and ten years old.
The other team consisted of teenagers aged ten to fifteen or sixteen.
The two teams were clearly separated, and in front of the group of children was a burly middle-aged man wearing a white tank top and coarse cloth trousers.
This middle-aged, burly man is the youth instructor of Starfire Town, named Kaven, and is a level six warrior.
At this moment, the instructor had a serious expression, his hands behind his back, his head held high, and his gaze coldly fixed on the group of children. Seeing that each of them had pursed their lips and their dark, bright eyes were fixed on him, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "If you want to become a great warrior, you must train hard from a young age."
"You are all ordinary people. Unlike those nobles who have access to powerful martial arts manuals, if you want to rise above others and avoid being looked down upon in the future, you must train using the oldest, simplest, and most basic methods to strengthen your bodies and build up your strength. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" a group of teenagers shouted loudly.
"very good."
Among these teenagers, most of the children under ten years old are still clueless. They come here to train for several hours every day just to avoid being looked down upon by their peers. But the teenagers over ten years old all have determined eyes because they understand the meaning behind this statement.
In the Yulan Continent, almost every child trains diligently from a young age, regardless of gender. If they don't train hard, they will be looked down upon, have no status, and will lack strength and wealth in the future.
A man without ability will be looked down upon by women, and the same principle applies to women as well.
Because they want to make their parents proud, want to achieve glory in the future, want to gain the approval of their peers, and want to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
One must become a great warrior.
Because they are all commoners, they do not have the precious martial arts manuals and have very little access to magic. Their only way is to break their bodies and build up their strength from a young age. If they can successfully pass the security team's test, their families will be respected by the entire Starfire Town.
This is the ideology instilled by Lord Karl Talos.
Not far from the central square, there is a group of stone houses built of bluestone. That is the place with the highest status in the entire Xinghuo Town: the security team.
At that time, the troops were directly under the command of Lord Karl Talos, and everyone in Starfire Town was proud to join the security force.
The Talos family's residence was located behind the security team's headquarters. It was an old mansion that every member of the patrol looked at with reverence as they passed by.
In the main hall of the mansion sat a man dressed in black robes, with a resolute face and a beard, quietly sipping his floral tea.
It's hard to imagine that this man, who looks no more than thirty years old, is actually over two hundred years old.
As a level nine warrior, Karl Talos has a lifespan of five hundred years, which is only half of the lifespan of an ordinary person.
To Karl Talos's right sat a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. The man looked somewhat anxious, but decades of upbringing had taught him that it was best not to interrupt his father's tea.
At this moment, Karl Talos held his teacup, mechanically drinking the still-warm tea, his gaze fixed on the empty space before him, as if unfocused.
A pale blue screen, visible only to him, was flickering slightly, with numbers appearing on it from time to time.
This is precisely Karl Taros's golden touch.
[Automatic AFK Training System]
Just like the system's name suggests, it allows Karl Talos to train automatically. It is precisely because of the system's existence that Karl has been able to gradually progress from a level six warrior to a level seven and eight warrior over a long period of time, eventually reaching the level nine warrior rank he is today.
In the Yulan Continent, everyone takes pride in diligent cultivation, because cultivation truly brings an increase in strength, as well as wealth and status.
However, on the continent of Yulan, only a small group of people at the very top of the pyramid possess talent, while the vast majority are just ordinary people with average talent.
These ordinary people with average talent, even if they train hard from a young age, have their potential limited from birth.
Level 6 and Level 7 warriors are one of the barriers to this talent.
Those lacking talent, no matter how hard they work, cannot overcome this hurdle and become a level seven warrior.
A level seven warrior can easily live for two or three hundred years. With the power of his battle aura, he is even capable of annihilating an army of a thousand men single-handedly. This is the true cornerstone of the kingdom.
Even if you have a fortune, you will eventually run out of money if you don't become a level seven warrior. This is because the Yulan Continent is not peaceful. You may lose your precious battle qi manual and your stable home amidst various upheavals, and gradually go from being a high-ranking person to a commoner.
In the continent of Yulan, every kingdom has an ironclad rule.
No one will be granted a title or land unless they become a level seven warrior.
Karl Talos was an ordinary commoner with average talent. As a transmigrator, Karl once considered himself extraordinary. He trained diligently with the town's instructors when he was six years old, became a first-level warrior at the age of fourteen, and reached the level of a second-level warrior when he joined the army.
Anyone who is sixteen years old and a first-class soldier can easily join the army.
However, after ten years in the military, even if he survived to the point of discharge, he was only a fourth-level soldier.
