Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Testing.

Although Tao Ying had a rough idea of ​​what kind of trouble Lin Biege had gotten into, she planned to wait until night to discuss it.

After all, I still have classes in the afternoon.

After lunch, Tao Ying came to the playground.

The afternoon sun was warm and the students gathered together excitedly.

Tao Ying sat aside basking in the sun.

The driving teacher is a woman named Ji Yi.

Tao Ying felt she looked familiar the moment she saw her, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before. That was until Ji Yi turned around, revealing the long scar on her neck.

She remembered.

Ji Yi, Marshal of the Yak Federation.

He once led the 1029th Mecha Corps and annihilated more than 1.5 million Zerg, including 7 S-class and 3,367 A-class.

In terms of command and combat, his strength in all aspects is very strong.

Tao Ying had met her when she went to the Ark Federation for a mecha technology exchange.

But after her mental strength was damaged during a war, Ji Yi retired due to injury, and no one knew where she went afterwards.

It turns out that he was hiding his identity and became... an ordinary university teacher?

Tao Ying seemed to be lost in thought.

Ji Yi took out the mental power testing equipment from the warehouse, squatted on the ground, and began to debug the equipment.

The teaching assistant said, "Everyone, line up. Those taking the physical fitness test will come to me, and those taking the mental strength test will go to Teacher Ji."

While waiting, the students chirped crickets quietly.

"No, there's only one tester. How long will it take to complete this test?"

"I heard it's quite expensive to buy one. My college is probably short of funds."

"Exactly. Look, there's no one dedicated to maintaining the equipment, and we're still asking the teacher to debug the machine."

Ji Yi stood up, holding a recording tablet in his hand, and explained the precautions lazily.

"See this transparent cabin? Once inside, place your hand where the instrument indicates and don't move."

"Divide into two teams, hurry up. Finish the test early and leave get out of class early."

“…”

Teacher Ji seemed to have no interest in class.

Tao Ying first lined up in the physical fitness test team.

Several friends who are strong and have great physical fitness are eager to take the test.

After entering the transparent cabin, the embedded core emits blue light.

"B-level."

"B-level, next."

Most of the students have B-level physique - after all, this is a mecha academy, so there shouldn't be many people with poor physique who would be so desperate as to want to drive a mecha.

Occasionally, a student with A-level physique appears, and everyone starts cheering.

Lin Biege's physical fitness was B+, which was considered above average among her classmates. After the test, several classmates approached her to form a team for the course.

The classmate sitting in front of Tao Ying patted her shoulder and comforted her.

"Don't be nervous, this is nothing. It's just a routine test."

"I'm not nervous."

"Then why are you so pale?"

"Born."

Kind-hearted classmate: “…” Okay, as long as she’s not nervous.

Tao Ying was the last one to be tested.

After a few flashes, the instrument panel started to freeze and finally stopped at the intersection of C and D. I restarted it several times, but the same thing happened.

What happened? Is there something wrong with the instrument?

The teaching assistant pushed his glasses suspiciously, walked around the cabin three times to check, confirmed that there was no problem, and waved Tao Ying to go up and test again.

Tao Ying glanced at the instrument panel and sighed.

"Teacher, please lower the range a bit."

"?"

The teaching assistant didn't understand, but with clear eyes, he decided to do it.

Sure enough, after adjusting the range, the instrument no longer reported an error.

Tao Ying walked out and saw everyone looking at her as if she were a monster.

There was a hint of disbelief in the teaching assistant's expression.

"This, this physique, I have never seen it before..."

"F? Physical F?"

"A, B, C... Wait, how many letters are there between A and F?"

"I think I saw corpse spots on her body."

"My 90-year-old grandmother has a D physique..."

"I heard that every level of physical fitness reduction is equivalent to being stabbed ten times."

"You mean to say that her physical condition is equivalent to an eighty-year-old grandmother being stabbed twenty times in a row?!"

The students took a step back, their eyes filled with horror mixed with a hint of admiration.

——The body is disabled but the mind is strong!

Tao Ying turned a blind eye without changing his expression.

People are not surprised by facts they have known for a long time.

She moved her legs, changed her line, and continued to test her mental strength.

Ji Yi reminded: "Once you enter the test chamber, don't move. The mental power instrument will connect to your mental power. During the test, if your brain feels uncomfortable as if it is being invaded, this is normal, don't be too nervous."

"Sun Dang, C-level." "Zhou Zhen, B-level." "Lu Qiling, C-level."

“…”

"Lin Biege, C-rank." "Next."

The results of the mental strength test are generally lower than level B.

A classmate boasted that his mental strength must be A, but the test result was only C. He was embarrassed at first, and then he doubted the authenticity of the instrument. Ji Yi then called a maintenance engineer.

The classmate wanted to question the repairman's qualifications, and the repairman showed her a string of repair certificates.

The qualifications are enough to work in the military, which is really dazzling.

There is no problem with the machine.

Finally, Ji Yi patted the table beside him and interrupted the discussion.

"How could so many instruments go wrong? My mental strength is C, so I accept the reality. Next."

Most of the students scored C, there were very few Bs, and no A at all.

At this time, almost everyone had finished the test, and it was Tao Ying's turn. A group of people were there to watch.

"Is she the one with constitution F just now?"

"That's not the end of it. People with poor physical fitness won't have much better mental strength. A healthy body is the key to a healthy mind."

"Is her mental strength also F?"

It’s no secret that the people who receive the most attention in school are usually the ones with the best and the worst grades.

Tao Ying - as the one with the worst qualifications, attracted a lot of attention.

Tao Ying placed her hand on the instrument.

The feeling of the intrusion of mental tentacles is very strange.

This old-fashioned instrument is not very comfortable at all, it just works.

Tao Ying's mental strength is still in a state of fatigue and needs to be cultivated. She is very sensitive to any mental stimulation.

Tao Ying subconsciously used his mental power to push the tentacles away.

The instrument issued a beeping alarm sound.

Everyone:"……"

Why does the instrument make mistakes every time it's her turn? Could it be that her mental strength is too low and she needs to adjust the range?

Ji Yi said "Hmm?", raised his eyebrows, and his bored look finally changed a little.

It has been a long time since I saw someone being able to repel the intelligent entity in the instrument with mental power. This student's reaction is quite quick, so his mental power must be good.

She came over and knocked on the hatch.

"Relax, classmate, it's not aggressive."

A classmate with Psychic D nearby whispered, "What does aggressiveness mean? Does anything attack?"

The teaching assistant explained, "The moment the spiritual realms connect, the tester will have an impact on the person's spiritual power. However, because it is very weak, most people cannot feel it."

"Does that mean her mental strength is pretty good?"

"Maybe it's because my body is not in good condition and my mind is too sensitive. How come I can't feel it with my mental strength of B+?"

"Well... maybe."

The teaching assistant said hesitantly, but came to an opposite conclusion in his mind.

Mental strength can be simply understood as muscles, and the mental strength probe of the tester can be understood as a tiny injection needle.

Feeling the needle is one thing.

But the problem was that the student "poked" the needle out.

Just like when you give an intramuscular injection, the muscles tense up and because the force is too strong, the needle is pushed out of the body.

That's a bit exaggerated.

No, that's an exaggeration.

This student's mental strength should be... no way.

The teaching assistant swallowed. How could that be possible?

He rarely saw this level of mental power in the army.

Tao Ying stayed in the glass cabin, concentrating on testing, and was oblivious to the conversation outside.

She is still struggling with her physical condition.

The appointment for the gene modification surgery is next month. The recovery time after the surgery ranges from three months to a year, which may affect the courses in school.

...Well, it turns out that we still need to make plans in advance.

Tao Ying thought about it and tried again.

This time, the mental power instrument seemed to have actively adjusted the test mode. Tao Ying's mental power was not too repulsive to it, and the results came out quickly.

When she walked out of the test chamber, everyone looked at her like she was a monster.

“…”

Why does this scene seem so familiar?

"How much mental power does she have...?"

"S?"

After a moment of silence, the students went into an uproar.

"This is the first time I've seen someone with S-level mental strength at this age!"

"The Empire's top military academy only requires an A in mental strength."

Ji Yi also came forward.

"Not bad. Our academy hasn't had a student with an S-level mental strength in many years." She patted Tao Ying's shoulder. "You don't seem too surprised?"

Tao Ying didn't react much, she was well aware of her own mental strength.

"I got an A on the last test. Maybe it's gone up a bit."

"It's increased a bit?" the student exclaimed.

"Tsk, you're so pretentious, sister. Going from A to S is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and you can just do it by raising your grades casually?"

"There's no one with A-level Psychic Power here, so I'm sorry, my friend."

“…”

This is a question of professional choice.

She originally wanted to study the mecha system major - the average mental strength there was always an A.

Moreover, the last test was when she was fifteen years old. Mental strength is not static, so it is normal for it to increase to S.

But Tao Ying's mind was full of her genetic modification surgery, and she finally nodded: "Yeah, that's amazing."

Everyone: “…” Can you be a little more humble?

Lin Biege seemed to have found teammates for the course and was planning to go out for dinner. When he passed by here, he found the atmosphere strange.

She was a little worried that Tao Ying would be bullied, but she was also worried that she would ask her some random questions. After hesitating for a moment, she moved closer to Tao Ying.

"What's wrong with you? Why are they all looking at you like that?"

"I don't know. You are the one. Why did you run off to eat lunch without calling me?"

"I, I'm just too hungry. Don't think too much about it." Lin Biege hesitated and changed the subject. "You didn't forget about forming a team, did you?"

"I haven't forgotten."

Tao Ying also tried to find people to form a team, but when everyone saw her physical condition F, they all refused. Occasionally, there were a few people who were curious about her mental strength, but they also refused after knowing her physical condition.

"Sorry, our team needs people who can play, not theorists."

"You're smart, but... you can't win a mecha competition just by brains."

"Team up? Are you going to operate the mecha while breathing oxygen?"

Tao Ying spread his hands: "I haven't found any teammates yet."

Lin Biege was stunned.

"Well, that's terrible. How are you going to handle this course? I shouldn't have come to take this physical fitness test!"

"It doesn't matter whether we test or not. As for my teammates, they're fine. We'll find them."

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Biege was heartbroken and immediately offered to help Tao Ying find teammates.

Although Tao Ying felt that it was not very realistic, since Xiaolin offered to help, she certainly would not refuse.

As expected, even with Lin Biege's connections at school, he couldn't help Tao Ying find teammates. Most people refused with bitter expressions.

Lin Bie Ge gestured with his feet: "She is very smart and won't slack off!"

"No, with her physique, she might as well just paddle."

"I accept my teammates slacking off, but at least they can't hold us back..."

A week later, most of the students had formed teams and submitted their forms, but Tao Ying still had no idea how to form a team. Lin Biege said he had tried his best but couldn't help her.

Tao Ying, who failed to find her teammates, seemed to have forgotten about forming a team and continued attending class without being affected at all.
