Chapter 147 begins testing
"boom--"
Behind them were continuous explosions and flames. If they fell into the stone slab, their bones would be roasted to a crisp in an instant, and there would be no chance of survival.
But after being thrown out of the central elevator, everything changed. A flowing film of water covered the exit, swallowing the terrifying impact of the shells and completely silencing the raging flames below.
As everyone passed through the water membrane, all the injuries and spasms they had previously experienced were soothed. Those who were dazed immediately woke up, and those who could still stand began wiping the blood from their faces.
They are here to be tested. As long as they are not eliminated before reaching the core level, the Bronze Hall will at least keep them in the best condition for the assessment. At least... there will be no excuse for losing.
"..."
"This is... the Bronze Hall..."
After looking around, most people expressed similar sentiments, and even Fang Jin was no exception. The expansive view brought a sense of relaxation and awe to her mind.
The first thing that catches the eye is a vast expanse of open grassland. The softness and exquisite details fill the entire world, like an oil painting that comes to life, giving them a tangible sense of awe and grandeur.
Further inside are seven tall castles arranged in a ring, each with a different style and material, but most of them are based on blue and white, with arched roofs like sword blades, and a touch of vicissitude and antiquity.
The ruler of the fourteen districts, who rose to prominence amidst the infighting of countless groups in a chaotic era, is one of the legends who carved out his own territory. The Bronze Pavilion certainly deserves such luxury and grandeur.
In essence, these fourteen official institutions governing the regions were more like old societies or associations, and their success was not justifiable based on historical experience.
In the beginning, the structure was loose and disorganized. Most of them gathered together simply out of a desire to stick together or out of interest. Not to mention fifty years ago, even when the source material system was first promoted, they were not considered respectable.
But with each collapse of the social system, the world becomes a quagmire of desire and chaos, and they manage to fight their way out, carve out their own territory, and establish order... Whether it is reasonable or not is no longer important.
"You have twenty minutes to rest, after which you will proceed to the Rhine Mansion for testing. Each test must be completed within two hours. No one here will be there to keep you company while you work overtime."
"Of course, if you're in good condition, you can set off now. I'm telling you clearly that the first three challenges are designed to test your individual abilities. You don't need a team or teammates. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll finish."
At that moment, several transparent faces emerged from the water that had sealed the wellhead, crowding together to relay messages to the surrounding area. The overlapping voices spread rapidly across the entire grassland.
Fang Jin gestured to the people around him, especially after confirming that the young lady was still sleeping comfortably, and then directly left the team of the third preparatory class. There were quite a few people around him who made the same choice.
This is one of the few parts of the exam that the dean was able to leak. The test is divided into two parts: a three-stage assessment of personal qualities the day before.
Physical fitness, logical thinking, and special abilities are all assessed and then recorded as cold, hard data in a file. This part does not involve any shortcuts or tricks.
The testing method on the second day is more flexible, mostly consisting of team competitions. Points are awarded based on ranking and performance, which ultimately determines the seating arrangement and the number of students admitted. There is a possibility of cooperation here.
Therefore, there was no need to dawdle on the first day. The point that Fang Jin and the Chamber of Commerce had reached was not here. About three minutes later, Fang Jin strolled leisurely to the destination.
The Rhine Mansion is the second fortress on the left. Its building structure is dark green and square, with countless brass doors between the floors. You can hear the sound of gears and mechanisms turning when you open and close them.
There were many rooms, so there was no need to wait in line. Fang Jin chatted with a cat with a gold lock around its neck for a few minutes at the door, and the cat then brought him a number tag to indicate that he could go in.
...Why a cat?
He received no answer and was swallowed up by the entrance to the Rhine Mansion. The tightly closed room moved quickly inside the mansion until it stopped. When Fang Jin pushed the door open and entered, the room had completely changed.
From the outside, it looks like a medieval castle, but the room is full of high technology, with all kinds of instruments throughout. The walls are made of flowing liquid metal, and the pure white floor has a silver edge feedback when you step on it.
It's worth mentioning that the classification of the detection is quite interesting. Instead of classifying players according to the four major factions, it classifies them by ecosystem and size.
At the entrance passage, five expansion rings were dug out, from smallest to largest. Before they entered the testing area, a light screen compared their actual tonnage and indicated which category they should go to.
This is not hard to understand. Each time a player ascends a level, it is a process of changing their life level. As they follow the talents they have drawn and chosen, their life form will naturally change gradually.
Just like Zhou Hao, the talent of the mythical side barbarian blood giant is undoubtedly outstanding, but this also means that his body will gradually change and tilt towards that race, until his flesh and bones are completely replaced.
In fact, the berserk red giant state was, in a sense, Zhou Hao's true form. The light screen would illuminate his actual size and classify him as a medium-sized creature for detection and comparison.
Fang Jin entered the second portal, a portal specifically for small to medium-sized organisms. Immediately, an arrow formed of ink appeared in front of him, pointing to the detection area he should go to.
Before him lay a large, silver-white metal sphere, and standing beside it was a fluffy, golden creature, its four paws on the ground and half-protruding tongue...
It's a golden retriever, a really big one, with even a pair of scholarly gold-rimmed glasses perched on its nose.
"……Hello."
"Hello there."
Fang Jin greeted him with a strange sense of unease, while the golden retriever calmly returned the greeting, patting the card slot with his paw and speaking in a rather magnetic male voice.
"Number 23, trainee Fang Jin, please put your number here."
Fang Jin did as instructed, and the number plate was directly sucked into the slot. Then, after emitting streams of steam, the area began to grow and rise until it hovered in mid-air.
There are many others in a similar situation, but at a different altitude than the ground. Suddenly, many white metal pillars rose up in the room, like white mountains rising from a sea of clouds.
"After all, every one of us is a violent individual. It would be bad if we disturbed others or damaged equipment during the testing process. Every piece of equipment would fetch an astronomical price on the black market."
The dog teacher licked his paw, then opened Fang Jin's file in front of him, carefully browsed through it, and then patted the first knob on the equipment in front of him.
