Overgod Ascension

The war came so suddenly.

The long-term peace, enjoyment, and paralysis of people's hearts were so great that when the Bauhinia Federation suddenly declared war without declaration, the border defense line almost collapsed at the first touch, and the powerful air defense network firepower was easily captured without even firing a single shot, causing the armor to collapse. The airship drove straight in, bringing a deep shock to the kingdom.

Of course, this also includes the city where Wu Ming is located.

His first feeling about the coming of war was hatred. After all, in troubled times, the survival rate of a three-year-old baby was too difficult to guarantee. His second feeling was one of helplessness.

For people like Wu Ming, war may be an opportunity, but this war has come too early! He couldn't do anything, and he had to rely on the Sterlings for his safety. This was really unbearable for him who was used to controlling everything.

Although the armored airship did not drop the cruise bomb in the end, which proved to be a false alarm, the war did break out and had a huge impact on the Sterling family.

First of all, James is unemployed.

He is a very successful salesman. The commission points from his annual business can support his family and buy cars and apartments. Unfortunately, his company produces only luxury goods. During the war, Due to material control and the fact that everything was serving the war, business suddenly plummeted, the company went bankrupt, and he, the salesman, naturally had to be laid off as well.

To make matters worse, although James had made a lot of money before, most of it was invested in the stock exchange and futures market, making high profits.

There was no problem at all originally, but now, when the war comes, the stocks have completely collapsed, almost all falling to the limit. Not only are the original dividends hopeless, but even the equity certificates have become waste paper - many of the companies James bought have collapsed, and the stocks have Nature is worthless.

To make matters worse, the economy made James sell his car first, and soon the family moved out of the villa and rented a duplex apartment.

Mrs. Sterling also had to reluctantly sell a cupboard of expensive clothes, put on coarse clothes, and began to plan carefully for the family's livelihood.

Wu Ming watched all this in silence, but now he was no different from an ordinary baby and had no power to change his destiny.

The only thing I can do is to make my food intake a little more 'normal', and take care of my two younger brothers and sisters to reduce the burden on the family.

With their family's current financial situation, they naturally couldn't afford a nanny, so Jenna was fired.

Fortunately, James was an optimist and did not become decadent. With a family and three children waiting to be fed, he had no time to be decadent.

He worked hard to deliver his resume every day. Perhaps because of his professional experience, he successfully sold himself out and got a job as a sorter in the post office, responsible for sorting mail and packages from various places. Although the salary was meager, it was Against the background of so many unemployed people, this is simply an amazing victory.

On the day he got the job, James held his head high like a general who had won a battle, and Mrs. Sterling even added a piece of ham and a bottle of wine to her dinner.

After a hard time, when Wu Ming was five years old, good news kept coming.

First of all, the two major powers ceased war. The Bauhinia Federation took the initiative to retreat, and seemed to have signed a twenty-year non-aggression agreement with the kingdom. The long-lost peace had arrived, and the whole country was cheering.

With the recovery of the economy, the items in stores have become more and more abundant, and there are many more choices on the table.

night.

The gas lamp was glowing with incandescence. On the dining table, the five members of the Sterling family were gathered in a circle.

Wu Ming holds a spoon and can eat independently. He can basically take care of himself and does not cause the Sterlings to worry too much.

On the other hand, the two four-year-old brothers and sisters next to them also cried a lot while sitting in the stroller. From time to time, they spilled vegetable soup or pulled off the tablecloth, so Mrs. Sterling had to step forward to correct them several times.

"The war ended and the stock market began to recover. Although a few of those companies went bankrupt, there was still one that survived..."

James was holding a large glass of beer and was obviously very talkative: "I have a hunch that it will definitely rise sharply. Honey, everything will get better... After I save a lot of money, I will go into business." , let our lives return to the track they once were.”

Mrs. Sterling was feeding Brandon milkshake, and the guy always spilled a little bit maliciously and got it all over his body.

Hearing this, she turned around and said in a firm tone: "Dear, you forgot one thing. Little Steven is already five years old, and we need to prepare for his studies!"

"Yes, Not Bad!"

James nodded solemnly: "Knowledge can change destiny. Our three children will all go to school in the future. We cannot be like the Ward family next door, who all go to factories when they grow up. You and I both know that they are cannibals." A monster that spits out bones, ordinary male and female workers would be thankful to God if they could live past thirty..."

He looked at Wu Ming: "Steven, you have to remember that you will definitely become a decent person in the upper class in the future!"

"I see!"

Wu Ming answered obediently that he had no interest in the life of those ants who worked from dawn to dusk every day, gave birth to a lot of children, most of them died, and the rest depended on luck to support them, and then they followed the same path as adults.

"Steven, you have always been very smart. Unfortunately, I could have sent you to the best aristocratic school..."

James sighed helplessly: "Only by winning at the starting line from the beginning can you stand higher, see further than others, and get more opportunities!"

"Dear...our little Steven is the best. Even an ordinary school can succeed, right?"

Mrs. Sterling touched Wu Ming's head.

"Well, I'm the best!"

Wu Ming drank the last mouthful of soup, and he also had expectations in his heart: "Now, I should be able to come into contact with more things, right? It's just this world, why haven't I come into contact with extraordinary existences until now? Is it because they hide too much?" Is it too deep?”

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night.

In the complete silence, Brandon and Angelina fell asleep after quarreling several times.

Now there are no conditions as before, and there is no basis for sleeping in separate rooms. Angelina is sleeping next to Wu Ming.

He opened his eyes, looked at the sleeping baby face next to him, and sighed silently.

Slowly getting up and assuming a sitting posture, Wu Ming immediately detected the situation in the spiritual sea. The original chaos was pushed away, and a ray of light bloomed.

After slowly summoning up a bit of mental power to nourish various parts of the body, Wu Ming checked the development of various parts of the body and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "After several years of warming up, my current muscles, bones and internal organs are almost as strong as those of a teenager. , the same is true in terms of strength!”

Once you reach this point, you can begin to practice physical combat and martial arts skills.

"It's just... this world can't produce inner breath, let alone develop internal strength. Do we still have to explore and develop the skills on our own like the Seer continent?"

Wu Ming opened his eyes helplessly, and immediately saw a terrifying scene.

Angelina didn't know when she had woken up, and she was staring at her brother curiously with her eyes wide open.

"Go to sleep quickly!"

Anyway, the cultivation of mental power is in the sea of ​​consciousness. The most Angelina saw was that her elder brother stayed up in the middle of the night and got up and made a very strange posture. Even if she told it, it would not be a big deal, and it might even be regarded as a dream. .

Wu Ming rolled his eyes and pinched her cheek.

"Wow..."

Who knew that Angelina didn't appreciate it at all, and burst into tears at the top of her lungs.

As soon as she cried, Brandon was woken up, and the sharper cries were very penetrating and spread far outside.

"What happened?"

Mrs. Sterling opened the door and saw Wu Ming rubbing his eyes: "My sister just cried and woke up my brother!"

Mrs. Sterling reluctantly stepped forward to comfort Angelina and Brandon. Several curses were heard outside the house - the sound insulation of the old apartment was not very good, and Wu Ming had heard some unpleasant things on several occasions. The sound that hit my ears was woken up again at night, and the neighbors who had to work the morning shift tomorrow couldn't help but get angry together.

…

In front of a huge school.

Wu Ming was carrying a cloth bag and wearing a peaked cap. He looked like a little adult and followed James to the communication room.

"Hello, sir, who are you looking for?"

A fat man with rosacea stuck his head out and asked loudly.

"I'm looking for Mr. Kyle Wilfer. I have an appointment to enroll my child in school."

"OK, just a second!"

Wu Ming saw the fat man pick up a telephone next to him, an old-fashioned one with a crank handle that had to be connected. He shook it violently, then picked up the phone and said a few words.

"Are you Mr. Sterling?"

"Exactly!"

"Please come in, Mr. Kyle is waiting for you in the office building in the middle, room 401 on the fourth floor!"

The fat man opened the railing and let James and Wu Ming enter the campus.

As soon as they entered the destination, there was a large playground. Many students in uniforms looked at the two of them with curious eyes, but no students dared to follow them to the office building.

"Mr. Sterling, nice to meet you!"

In a room on the fourth floor, as soon as Kyle saw James, he immediately greeted James warmly: "And you, little sir!"

He smiled at Wu Ming, and then said to James: "Our school tuition is paid once a year, fifty yuan at a time. If you agree, you can go through the procedures now, and your boy can enroll today."

"Can!"

The moment he agreed, Wu Ming clearly saw a hint of physical pain on James' face. After all, this was nearly half a year's income for ordinary people.

Knowledge and education in this world are never free.
