218: Chapter 218 Connected Parties (Extra for Alliance Leader Wuxie without worries) (Fourth Update) 218: Chapter 218 Connected Parties (Extra for Alliance Leader Wuxie without worries) (Fourth Update) Shu’en twisted his head slightly, his eyeballs moving left and right, swiftly dodging the moving red dots like the wind.
As the seconds ticked by, soon it was the 22nd second, and Shu’en was caught in the beam of a moving red dot.
Instantly, the timer froze, emitting a buzzing sound.
Su Ming watched this scene, and his heart immediately plunged to the bottom.
Then, one after the other, Chen Ying and the others went up for their tests, respectively achieving results of 19S, 18S, and so on.
Finally, when it was Su Ming’s turn, he steeled himself and stepped forward.
Shu’en and the others all watched Su Ming intently, anticipating his performance.
“Begin!”
As Su Ming stepped onto the metal platform, Lin Jie promptly announced it.
In an instant, all the red dots started moving, Su Ming squinted, capturing all the moving red dots in his mind.
He planned his dodging trajectory at the first instance, but just as his body started to move!
The timer froze, emitting a buzzing sound.
Staring at the timer in astonishment, Su Ming saw the result, 0.7S, and fell silent.
In fact, it wasn’t just him who fell silent; Shu’en and the others also grew quiet upon seeing this result.
They had all originally considered Su Ming as a formidable competitor.
Lin Jie lightly coughed to break the awkward silence and said,
“Next!”
Soon after, all the items in the test were completed.
Shu’en and the others looked at Su Ming with strange eyes, completely devoid of any respect.
Even Xu Ze felt too embarrassed to go up and talk to Su Ming.
They didn’t care about someone’s identity; here, strength was all that mattered.
Su Ming, too, was utterly helpless; these military officers were either Second Generation of New Humans or had been injected with Type I Genetic Potion.
Some had even received Type II Genetic Potion, and there was no way he could compare in physical quality.
It looked like there was no hope for the following tests.
In the observation area.
Lin Jie, holding the summary of results, walked over to Liu Qing and handed it to him, saying,
“Major Liu Qing, these are the test results!”
Liu Qing picked up the summary and glanced at it, immensely frustrated, saying,
“Who’s the moron that sent this Su Ming in?
His results are as shitty as hell.
Since when did we start letting trash in here?”
Lin Jie was slightly taken aback and replied,
“He was not recommended; he was invited.”
“By whom?”
“Wasn’t it you?”
“Me?
When did I ever invite him?
Where’s the invitation?”
Liu Qing was nearly exploding with anger.
Lin Jie then handed over the invitation to Liu Qing.
He took it and opened it to look.
The annoyance on his face instantly stiffened, and he said to Lin Jie, feeling extremely uncomfortable,
“Let’s pretend I never said anything just now.”
“Huh?
What do we do now?
Should this Su Ming still undergo the Biological Cabin test?
With such poor results, can he even be tested?”
Lin Jie also felt uncertain.
“Let it pass, let it pass.
Take him along for the test,”
Liu Qing said with a dark face, waving his hand.
“Okay, I understand.
I will arrange for them to undergo the biological test immediately.”
After hearing this, Lin Jie quickly left.
She soon returned to the testing room, and Shu’en and others looked toward Lin Jie, eagerly asking,
“Lady Lin Jie, did we pass?”
“Congratulations to each of you gentlemen.
You have all performed exceptionally well, and you have all passed.
Please follow me to the Biological Test Chamber.”
Lin Jie said to everyone with a smile.
Upon hearing Lin Jie’s words, Shu’en and the rest were initially overjoyed, but then their brows furrowed, all turning their looks towards Su Ming.
At that moment, Major Chen Ying barely contained himself and asked.
“Major Lin Jie, he passed too?”
“Passed!”
Lin Jie replied with a hint of unease.
Su Ming was surprised on hearing Lin Jie’s words; he had been prepared for elimination, never expecting to actually pass.
Just then, a mannish figure dressed in a major’s uniform, with closely cropped hair, broad shoulders, and a fiery temper, cursed with a face full of anger.
“Damn it, he must be some insider with connections, how impressive!
He’s made it to the Xi Guang Laboratory.”
“Hejassi, keep your voice down!”
His companion hastily advised in a whisper.
Shu’en and others also had grim looks on their faces.
Although they didn’t verbally mock Su Ming, their looks towards him grew increasingly scornful.
“Let’s go, everyone!”
Lin Jie, sensing the atmosphere was turning sour, quickly spoke to the group.
Shu’en and his group silently followed Lin Jie out while Su Ming awkwardly trailed at the end.
….
At that moment, in the central area of the laboratory.
Dr.
Blakes was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with a spotted-faced old man with almost no teeth left, dressed in a white lab coat.
Before them appeared a holographic image, through which they could see a sealed metal testing room.
Inside the room were several Biological Test Chambers, each containing a lying officer.
“The quality of this batch isn’t bad, there’s hope in selecting new Fourth Generation Biological Mecha Drivers,” the old man said with satisfaction.
“Deluca, are your standards really that low?” Blakes replied coldly.
“Haste makes waste.
The Biological Mechas have very strict requirements for the drivers.
It’s rare enough to find a match, let alone someone with exceptional talent,” Deluca frowned, responding to Blakes.
“Obsolete,” Blakes replied unsympathetically.
Deluca’s expression darkened, but he said no more.
At this time, Dr.
Bodden hurried over to report to Blakes.
“Sir, the group has arrived!
They are now heading to Biological Cabin number seven for testing.”
“Switch the video to Biological Cabin number seven,” Blakes ordered coldly.
“Yes!”
Celeste appeared beside him and flicked her dainty finger, and the image automatically switched to Biological Cabin number seven.
Lin Jie, leading Su Ming and eleven others, arrived at the Biological Cabin testing area.
The group was visibly moved by the sight of the massive Biological Cabins before them.
Each was four meters long and two meters wide, covered in complex wiring—looking very advanced and precise.
Lin Jie introduced them, saying,
“These are the Xi Guang Laboratory’s newly developed NSQL-01 type Biological Test Chambers, capable of simulating 99% of real Biological Mecha piloting scenarios.
This is possible because the chambers are filled with Chilami biological tissue.”
“Filled with Chilami biological tissue?” Shu’en and others returned with solemn expressions.
“Yes, precisely because it’s filled with Chilami biological tissue, the resulting contamination is real.
However, it has significant advantages over a Biological Machine as it’s safe and controllable.
You can rest assured to proceed with the tests,” Lin Jie explained professionally to them.
“Good!”
Shu’en and the others nodded.
“Please proceed,” Lin Jie said to Su Ming and the others.
Su Ming took a deep breath and walked towards Biological Test Chamber number eleven.
Soon, he stood in front of it.
Click!
The massive cabin cover slowly opened, revealing a Biological Mecha Driver’s seat.
Su Ming felt strangely familiar with this Biological Mecha Driver’s seat; its structure bore an uncanny resemblance to the Villain’s cockpit in the virtual world.
