The story of Overlord is simple.

The Overlord's strength four years ago was not at the top of that year. Even in that year, his strength was only in the middle. On the contrary, the Overlord had a close friend who joined the organization and trained with the Overlord.

, we had dinner together, and our relationship became extremely good.

That best friend's ability was considered among the best in the class at that time, so in the graduation exam four years ago, best friend passed the exam, but Overlord was eliminated.

My best friend soon became a black soldier after graduation, and he would send letters to Overlord from time to time describing the various tasks he had experienced. Overlord continued to work hard, hoping to graduate in the second assessment to keep up with his best friend.

All he wanted to do was continue to be his best friend's teammate after graduation.

However, one day, Overlord lost contact with his best friend.

The day we agreed to contact each other came, but my best friend seemed to have disappeared from the world, and I couldn't get in touch with him.

After making inquiries from many sources, he found out that his best friend had died during a certain mission.

The death of my best friend was only three months after graduation.

After Overlord heard the news of the death of his best friend, he was so distraught that he used the secondary black soldier potion to seal off his emotions, but every time he came to the emotional recovery period, he would experience heartbreaking sadness again.

He couldn't believe that his best friend died so easily. After all, he knew his best friend's strength very well and was already very powerful in the eyes of the Overlord at that time. In an unbelievable mood, the Overlord began an investigation, trying to find out the inside story of his best friend's death.

The result is naturally that there is no inside story at all.

After investigation, he learned an even more surprising fact - his best friend died relatively late.

Among the other 9 students who died at the same time as my best friend, 6 of them died in the first two months. My best friend died in the 3rd month, and the remaining 3 students died in the 4th, 5th and 5th months respectively.

Month 6.

In other words, among the students who graduated in that class, the longest lived only half a year after graduation.

This phenomenon is not an isolated case, nor is it special. It is considered normal in the entire organization, especially since they are from the Emergency Maneuver Department, which is a department with a high mortality rate, so there is nothing to blame.

But it was this "normality" that made the Overlord angry.

This means that the students who graduate from the organization are defective products that are far from meeting the qualification standards!

From that day on, Overlord's goal was no longer to graduate successfully.

He became a wall preventing other students from graduating.

…

"Only when the strength reaches the standard approved by the Overlord, students are allowed to graduate. Otherwise, they can only repeat the grade under the control of the Overlord. Since the Overlord's strength surpassed all other heroes, this system has become a tradition. Even if the Overlord does not say anything,

We all also follow the destiny that is controlled."

A Yuan told everything.

Even Lao Luo, who had betrayed, was stunned, and the other new students didn't say a word.

No one could have imagined the reason behind this.

A Yuan sneered: "Do you know that since the implementation of this system, the survival rate of students one year after graduation has increased from 15% to 70%?"

It is precisely because of this increase in survival rate that they believe Overlord's decision is correct.

As the old students gradually graduate, the only ones who know the reasons behind Overlord's rule are Bawang and A Yuan, the second-in-command who has been following Overlord.

In the eyes of others, the Overlord is just a hateful dictator who prevents them from graduating.

After hearing this, Zhu Shijiu murmured: "So that's it."

The Overlord's expression also softened.

"Do you know everything? I am doing it for the good of everyone! Do you think your strength is enough? Ridiculous! In my eyes, you are not qualified at all!"

Overlord's words shocked everyone, and some new students couldn't help but retreat after hearing the truth behind it.

Before Overlord reformed the system, only 15% of graduating students could survive for one year, all because they graduated in a hurry because of their lack of strength.

The existence of the Overlord is equivalent to a filter, rejecting all new students who lack strength, and forcibly training them to become senior students. However, becoming a senior student is not enough. You also need to win among other senior students. Only then can you become a senior student.

You can graduate successfully.

"Do you think there are really only 18 of us senior students?" A Yuan asked again, "We have a large number of senior students who know that there is no possibility of graduation and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to take the graduation assessment. I would like to know, you newcomers

If students are eliminated, how many of them will be willing to take part in the next assessment? Do you know your own strength?!"

A Yuan's eyes were sharp and he looked around. It was obvious that he was just a prisoner, but many new students had already begun to dodge their eyes when facing A Yuan.

A Yuan laughed mockingly when he saw this: "Look, this is the new student you want to take with you to pass the level! Defective products! They are all fucking defective products! With this quality, I'm afraid he will die as soon as he graduates!"

"

Zhu Shijiu also looked at the other new students, and saw that most of them avoided his sight, with visible shakes on their faces.

He suddenly laughed: "So... I did something wrong?"

A Yuan also laughed, but he smiled sarcastically: "You are wrong! You are just claiming to be righteous! Your behavior is just hastening their death!"

At this time, Overlord finally stopped just listening. He said: "The organization did not stop me from ruling the graduation assessment. This shows to a certain extent that the organization also recognizes my approach and my philosophy. There are many new people. In fact,

It does not meet the passing standards..."

Zhu Shijiu suddenly interrupted: "Including me?"

The overlord was speechless.

"If I lose to you today, will I have to wait for the next graduation exam? Your behavior is just an act of desertion that denies all possibilities."

Zhu Shijiu said calmly.

"Does the organization not know the high mortality rate among graduates? Didn't they think of adjusting the qualification standards before you made your own decision?"

"No, the organization knew it, but they still did it. Why do you think it is? The answer is simple, because the current situation the world is facing does not allow the organization to slowly select what you call qualified products."

"So what if we face the high mortality rate of Zerg? Aren't there still 15% students who can survive?"

"Graduation assessments have always been held irregularly. The graduation assessment will only be held when the organization feels that the number of people is enough. Your domineering behavior will only lead to fewer and fewer students applying for the exam, and the graduation assessment will be held less and less frequently.

, more and more students are repeating their grades.”

"Overlord, you are so arrogant. You thought you could save the students' lives by doing this, but you never thought that your actions caused the world's chronic death!"

Overlord said with red eyes: "Do you want me to watch a large number of students die?!"

Zhu Shijiu said: "I just want to say that everyone should have the right to choose. Do you think those black soldiers who died at the mouth of the zerg will regret their premature graduation?"

Overlord asked back: "Do you think they won't regret it?"

"I should regret it. If I die in the mouth of a zerg, I will regret it too."

Zhu Shijiu gave an answer that surprised the Overlord.

But in the next sentence, Zhu Shijiu took another turn.

"However, this is not something we regret or not, but even if we regret it, we can only do it!"

Zhu Shijiu looked around and saw those eyes that had escaped him before.

"You are afraid of death, and so am I, but we have no way out! Maybe everything we have done is in vain. Maybe I am talking too much now and think I am ready, but in fact I will die of a strange thing right after graduation.

The mouth of the worm, but what can we do? We have no way out, death is just the fate of the black soldiers!"

"We become students just to become black soldiers! If we become black soldiers, we are destined to die at the mouth of the zerg!"

"We don't have any right to retreat! We can't tell ourselves that because I'm not ready, I can't die yet. Is the world ready to face the sudden appearance of zerg? Do we still have time to slowly prepare?"

Zhu Shijiu suddenly looked at Lao Yang: "Lao Yang, after listening to what Overlord said, do you still want to graduate now?"

Lao Yang was in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said: "I think. I want to become a black soldier."

"Why do you want to be a black soldier?"

"To kill the zerg."

"Why kill the zerg?"

"Because the zerg are eating away at our home."

Zhu Shijiu asked the overlord: "Is this reason enough? We want to graduate, we want to kill the insects, we want to risk our lives to prevent the world from being eaten away!"

"Slowly preparing behind the scenes is what the people protected by our black soldier organization should do. We have only one responsibility. When it is our turn, we will take the lead. That's all."

The Overlord was silent.

Zhu Shijiu leaned over and looked at A Yuan, who was also silent: "According to your theory, the strong ones should graduate and face the insects, while the weak ones should huddle in the base and survive, and the fittest will be eliminated... Oh, in this world

How can this make sense?"

Everyone in the forest was silent for a long time.

Until Overlord looked at Zhu Shijiu with complicated eyes: "Zhu Shijiu, I admit that I am not as strong as you. If it were you, what would you do?"

Zhu Shijiu smiled.
