Drawing Cards With My Lifespan: Starting By Gamifying Reality

Chapter 44: Fifth Order Military Service Order
The sun shone down mercilessly, blazing and fierce.

The cicadas chirped weakly.

The green belt in the distance looked sickly.

The big tree nearby was also a little listless.

Su Mo squatted under the tree and watched as the ants moved the beetle corpses.

Every time they were about to transport the beetles to the cave, he would use a branch to pick the beetles back.

He was never tired of it.

“Here!”

A voice interrupted this silent battle.

Su Mo raised his head and took a bottle of Jianlibao from Qian Tao.

After taking a bite, his mouth was filled with the taste of orange.

The heat in his body dissipated, and he felt so good that his scalp went numb.

He stood up from the ground and narrowed his eyes at the dark hair salon not far away. He asked,

“The first candidate is here?”

Qian Tao pulled open his collar and nodded.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect that Yang Zhichao would have a hair salon auntie in such a remote urban village.

However, the clues pointed to this place. I did indeed observe the remnants of her aura on her body.

Although I don’t think Yang Zhichao will choose her as the ritual object, who can say for sure when it comes to promotion?”

Su Mo pondered.

“Looks like he’s very cautious about the advancement ritual.”

“Tch, how can a bunch of turbid cultivators not be cautious? Did he really think that extraordinary powers were that easy to obtain?”

Qian Tao’s face was full of disdain.

“Compared to us mixed cultivators who are more restrained, turbid cultivators can absorb Origin Qi without restraint.

Their strength often increased very quickly, but at the same time, they were more likely to lose their rationality and their brains became less useful.

Most importantly, because of the excessive impurities and pollution, the probability of them going out of control is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than us mixed cultivators.

Thus, the importance that turbid cultivators attach to the advancement ritual is far beyond ours.

Only by holding the most perfect advancement ceremony could they purify the corruption in their bodies to the greatest extent and continue to live.

“To us, the advancement ritual is to level up. To them, it’s to save their lives.”

“In that case, the advancement ritual for turbid cultivators should be more dangerous than ours, right?”

“That is without a doubt.”

Qian Tao gave an affirmative answer.

” Because they have to purify more impurities and pollution in their bodies, their rituals are often more complicated and demanding than ours.

Furthermore, due to various reasons such as profession characteristics, the rituals of turbid cultivators were often accompanied by blood, chaos, and evil.

Two hundred years ago, when our country was unifying the world, there were a few relatively large casualties in the war, including the casualties of civilians at home and abroad. They were basically caused by those turbid cultivators.

Fortunately, in the end, with the help of the saint Group, which far exceeded the total number of foreign countries combined, they were directly suppressed collectively. The survivors also fled into the the Origin World.

After that, we will divide the world into three thousand prefectures and set up magistrate to command the Transcendents in various places. They will monitor all spatial fluctuations and maintain a stable rear.

As for the the Origin World War between the Bloody Battlefield and the Border Land, it had never stopped for 200 years and had continued until now.

If it weren’t for the fact that our advancement ritual was relatively simple, how could we have supported such a long and intense War of the Two Worlds?”

Su Mo’s eyes moved slightly as he asked,”

“If that’s the case, everyone in the party seems to have reached the peak of Tier 3. Why is no one willing to hold a promotion ceremony?”

Qian Tao looked at him deeply and said with a smile,

“I didn’t expect you to be such a scheming boy. What you said just now was all to pave the way for this, right?”

Su Mo was about to explain.

Qian Tao stretched out his hand and interrupted,

“No worries!”

He patted Su Mo’s shoulder and grinned as he said in an ancient voice,”

“You have to know that everyone has a different attitude towards the advancement ritual.

Not everyone liked to level up and wanted to level up.

It was true that after leveling up, one could obtain greater strength and a higher status.

However, there were also people who liked to live a simple and ordinary life.

When you were at a lower level, you might still be able to live in the city without any worries.

Occasionally, he would go out on missions, but in the end, he would be by his family’s side.

However, when your level increases, you will obtain greater power.

At the same time, they would also take on greater responsibilities.

Where do you think the Extraordinaires fighting in the the Origin World Battlefield came from?

There was an unwritten rule in the government, which was called the [Rank-5 Military Service Order].

All Extraordinaires who had reached Level-5, whether they were official or civilian.

All of them had to serve in the military and go to the border to participate in the Origin World War.

Of course, that was only the lowest level of war. It could be seen as a trial for the recruits.

The opponents that appeared would not be very strong.

The ones who truly maintained the stability of the entire world were the saint in the Bloodbath Grounds.

But even so, many people were afraid of losing their lives and were unwilling to go over.

A war was a war after all. No matter how well prepared the safety measures were, there was still a possibility of death on the spot.

In fact, many supernatural beings had died at the border in the past.

Under the stimulation of the disastrous data, it was only natural that many ordinary Extraordinaires were unwilling to break through.

As for the members of our society, we naturally can’t be like them.

However, the higher-ups did not force him to make a breakthrough.

After all, there was still a risk in the advancement ritual.

For the team members who had been unwilling to make a breakthrough for a long time.

They were usually sent to relatively desolate and remote places to be stationed.

Or they would simply be ordered to leave the team and give way to someone else.

As for why so many people in our team are unwilling to break through.

Firstly, even if everyone did not break through, they were still very strong and professional. The missions they completed in the past were very eye-catching, and they could obtain quite a lot of leniency.

” Secondly, everyone has their own ideas about the advancement ritual. Although I can guess some of them, I can’t tell you. If you’re really curious, you can ask them in person. Of course, I can’t guarantee that you won’t be beaten up.

However, I can tell you the reason why I’m not willing to advance.”

“Oh, what reason?”

Su Mo immediately perked up his ears.

Qian Tao puffed out his chest and said,

“If I break through to Tier 4, I’ll definitely be able to advance to Tier 5 soon. At that time, I’ll definitely be recruited to the border and mix with a bunch of men. Where can I find so many young ladies to express my condolences?

Wasn’t he deliberately creating problems for us single dogs?

To be honest, I think there’s really something wrong with the system at the border. I can accept fighting, but without a little sister, how can people live like this?

In my opinion, this system should be reformed drastically…”

Qian Tao rattled off a bunch of ideas.

Su Mo was speechless.

It would be a miracle if these ideas passed.

However, his words were not pure nonsense.

At the very least, Su Mo had learned a lot of information about the border area.

He did not listen for nothing.

When his mouth was dry, Qian Tao was ready to buy two more bottles of drinks.

Suddenly, a surprised question came from nearby.

“Why are you two here?”
