Chapter 279 Mental Strength Test
"Yeah." After nodding slightly at Merritt, Si Ming retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Jiaojiao with a soothing look: "Don't worry, I'm outside."
"I'm not worried." After saying that, Ye Jiaojiao followed Merritt's footsteps with a smile and lay down in a device similar to a game cabin.
In the legion, many soldiers may experience fluctuations in their mental strength.
Some of them advanced, while others may have declined due to injuries.
The testing equipment at the Fifth Army Garrison Base will not be as detailed as that at the Imperial Research Institute. It will only make a level assessment. This is why Si Ming brought Ye Jiaojiao for testing.
Lying in the testing cabin, since it was Ye Jiaojiao's first time to be tested, Merritt made the front panel of the testing cabin transparent at Si Ming's request, and gave Ye Jiaojiao some guidance before starting the test.
In the Empire, generally speaking, wealthy families would arrange for testing for their children when they were ten years old, and then arrange for suitable instructors to teach them how to control mental power. The official testing time required by the Empire was twenty years old.
Imperial residents who are tested in adulthood generally receive instruction at a university.
Merritt told Ye Jiaojiao that after the testing chamber started operating, it was like logging into a second world, and a three-dimensional space would appear in his mind.
The function of the detection cabin is mainly to assist novices to guide their own mental power invisibly. Now, what Ye Jiaojiao needs to do is to attack the virtual points floating in the space after entering the three-dimensional space, and the mental power level can be obtained by combining the guided mental power and the degree of attack of the mental power.
After listening to Merritt's description, Ye Jiaojiao closed her eyes.
The testing cabin started to operate, and it felt like the game cabin. Ye Jiaojiao's consciousness was drawn into another space. When Ye Jiaojiao's mind settled down again and she opened her eyes, she saw a vast starry sky.
With the starry sky as the background, many dots and lines appeared in front of her eyes.
Against a dark background, the white spots appear particularly noticeable.
Those dots and lines seemed to be doing this on purpose, jumping around in front of her one after another, a bit like fireflies floating in the dense forest at night.
Dancing gracefully, it is dazzling and makes people subconsciously want to reach out and grab it.
Ye Jiaojiao was no exception, she also went to catch it.
Just as Ye Jiaojiao began to touch the small spots of light, Si Ming and Merritt outside saw the detector next to it start to beat.
The lowest mental strength is F and the highest is 3S. When Ye Jiaojiao just started, the level on the instrument jumped directly from F to B, and after two seconds it dropped a little bit and stayed at B-.
Si Ming frowned after seeing this data.
In his opinion, Ye Jiaojiao's mental strength would definitely not be B-.
Turning his head, Si Ming looked at Ye Jiaojiao lying in the testing cabin again, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.
Merritt saw Si Ming frowning, as if he was thinking about something. He thought that Si Ming felt that Ye Jiaojiao's mental strength was a little useless. He moved his lips, but didn't say anything for a while.
Mental strength is B-, which is equivalent to that of an ordinary person.
They are not good enough in the legion, but there are most ordinary people like them.
In the interstellar age, strong alliances will give birth to stronger offspring.
Generally speaking, S-level psychic masters rarely look for ordinary people.
Thinking of the recent rumors circulating in the base, the sentimental Merritt began to worry.
I hope my major general won't dislike this lady.
Merritt lowered his eyes and was thinking so in his mind that he did not notice that the data on the detector next to him suddenly soared. In just two breaths, a shrill alarm sounded in the testing room, and then the detector connected to the testing cabin exploded before they could react.
There was a loud bang, and everyone in the testing room was dumbfounded.
Si Ming was the first to react. He strode towards the testing cabin. Seeing that the testing cabin had stopped operating, he quickly opened the door and carried Ye Jiaojiao out, anxiously checking her condition: "Jiaojiao?"
"Hmm?" Feeling a pair of large hands messing with her, Ye Jiaojiao came to her senses. She first slapped her own Ah Ming's hands away, then looked at the shattered instrument: "It exploded."
Si Ming was not discouraged by being slapped by his wife. He continued to stretch out his hand and circled his wife's slender waist. Hearing her say this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "It's okay, it must be the aging of the equipment."
Aging equipment?
As the person in charge of this testing room, Merritt felt insulted, but the one who insulted him was Si Ming, so Merritt had no choice but to remain silent.
After hearing Si Ming's conclusion, Merritt fell silent, and the mecha warriors in the testing room also fell silent, but the expressions on their faces were particularly wonderful. Ye Jiaojiao, who had done something bad, could not be ignored even if she wanted to.
Just now, in the testing chamber, she played with the fireflies for a while and then used her spiritual power to attack those light spots. The whole process happened very quickly, in less than ten seconds.
Ye Jiaojiao came from the continent of cultivation, and using spiritual power was as natural to her as drinking water. Instead, she felt awkward when she had to deliberately guide her mental power. In the end, she simply did it in the way that was most comfortable for her.
"A Ming, how about we try again?" Seeing everyone's stunned expressions and then looking at the pile of spare parts on the ground, Ye Jiaojiao knew very well that she must have used too much force.
She exploded last time, so she will definitely be more cautious if it happens again.
"Okay, let's do it again." Si Ming always tried his best to satisfy Ye Jiaojiao's requests, and this time was no exception.
Facing the cold gaze of his major general, Merritt silently drove away all the other soldiers in the testing room and asked them to come back another day. He then personally took action and worked tirelessly to replace a piece of equipment.
Ye Jiaojiao was about to lie down in the examination cabin for the second time. Merritt gave Si Ming a painful look, wanting to say something but hesitant. Si Ming's expression remained unchanged, but he still mentioned that Ye Jiaojiao should be a little more restrained.
Under Ye Jiaojiao's deliberate control, the next few tests went smoothly. After trying several times, she found an equivalent value.
Ye Jiaojiao discovered that when she used one-fifth of her strength to attack those light spots, her mental power level stopped at A, and when she used one-third of her strength, her mental power level stopped at S+.
After discussing with Si Ming, the two of them decided on the S+ level.
Mental strength S+, physical fitness S, such talent is definitely impressive in the entire empire, but it is not so dazzling that it becomes an existence that some people cannot tolerate.
Si Ming used his authority to delete all of Ye Jiaojiao's previous test reports, leaving only the last S+ record registered in Ye Jiaojiao's personal information, which appeared behind the original owner's B- record in the registration column.
The level of mental power is not static. Cases like rising from B- to S+ are not uncommon in the empire, and it would not seem out of place if recorded in personal information.
After Si Ming and Ye Jiaojiao left the testing room, Merritt, who had watched their silly actions throughout the whole process, felt terrible.
Since when has the level of mental power been able to be adjusted according to one's personal wishes?
Is it because he hasn't visited StarNet for too long?
Out of touch with the Empire?
