Seeing that Wen Yili was frightened, Gu Zhilin stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "It's alright, it's all over."
Wen Yili then came to his senses: "Master, I will catch up with you as soon as possible to protect you and will not let the Martians hurt you again."
I thought the child was just terrified, but I never expected that's what he was thinking.
Gu Zhilin smiled with satisfaction: "Alright, Master will be waiting for you."
The planned week-long exercise was interrupted because Martians intruded on it.
The Earth Alliance currently has a number of Martians, who will serve as their medium for obtaining information about Martians.
They are also hostages of the Earth Alliance.
The entire Earth Alliance is very concerned about these people.
Even Lu Jin'an cannot be summoned for questioning or meetings at will.
The next day, Gu Zhilin began preparing for the level assessment. To be honest, Gu Zhilin was a little nervous before the assessment.
Although he now believes in his abilities, he is really unsure what the outcome will be.
Before the assessment, Jiang Jiyang, seeing Gu Zhilin so nervous for the first time, couldn't help but tease him: "Gu Zhilin, why don't you do a divination to see what the outcome will be?"
Gu Zhilin answered seriously, "How can you tell fortunes about something like this?"
Jiang Jiyang was puzzled: "You can even figure out that Lu Jin'an is going on a mission, but you can't figure out a small assessment?"
"It's not that I can't calculate it, it's that it's impossible to calculate it." Gu Zhilin felt much more relaxed when talking to Jiang Jiyang about fortune telling.
He explained, "If my calculations show a good result, it might make me complacent, and that complacency could prevent me from achieving my best results. If my calculations show a bad result, I might lose confidence, and that mindset could lead to poor performance."
Jiang Jiyang was dumbfounded: "No, you're studying psychology, not metaphysics, aren't you?"
Even Lu Jin'an was somewhat surprised by Gu Zhilin's theory: "I thought you guys could calculate it for yourselves."
"Of course you can calculate it for yourself, but although we Taoists believe in fate, we also believe that human will can overcome fate. In many cases, the psychological impact is very serious."
Lu Jin'an couldn't help but recall the first time she met Gu Zhilin, when this man had divined her destiny and found out that her destined partner was indeed him.
What did he do back then?
They simply flipped a metal sheet over and changed the result.
It seems that these Taoists are not sincere!
The assessment began soon. Since it was an assessment of Gu Zhilin's piloting ability, he had to pilot the warship alone in a simulated assessment.
Lu Jin'an personally escorted the person into the simulation chamber: "Relax, your strength is definitely not a problem."
Gu Zhilin nodded, then closed the hatch without hesitation, giving Lu Jin'an no further chance to show off.
In the end, they could only slink away.
Although Gu Zhilin was very nervous before the assessment, he was not nervous at all once the assessment actually began.
The first stage of the assessment is
The game simulates extreme obstacle avoidance in an area with chaotic meteor showers and the constant threat of enemy warships.
This is Gu Zhilin's forte. The moment he entered the assessment, his Bagua Formation was already set up. Even in the simulated universe, he could still sense the operation of the things around him.
He was like a cheat code, able to accurately dodge all meteorites and warship attacks even in the most chaotic situations.
The personnel responsible for the assessment and review, although already aware of Gu Zhilin's abilities, were still shocked by this move.
During the entire half-hour flight of the warship, Gu Zhilin was not attacked even once.
Although the simulated attacks could not match the accuracy of drills and actual combat, they had not withstood a single attack during this long period of focused, chaotic attack, something they had never encountered before.
Soon the second test was upgraded. Under the same attack mode, Gu Zhilin needed to work with the AI fire controller to design and simulate marker points in the universe.
Lu Jin'an became nervous after learning that Gu Zhilin had entered the second stage.
"General Lu, why are you so nervous? Don't you know how strong Gu Zhilin is?" Jiang Jiyang couldn't help but tease again, "His strength is recognized by the entire Earth Alliance."
But Lu Jin'an shook his head: "I'm not worried about his ability, I'm worried about the AI's ability. The AI might drag down his score."
Jiang Jiyang was stunned, feeling that these words were actually an insult to AI.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Yan, who had been silent all along, also spoke up: "I'm worried about that too. Gu Zhilin is too strong, and the fire control operators who have always worked with him are all very strong. Although the AI's accuracy is good, its speed is really not impressive."
"Gu Zhilin's speed is too fast, I'm afraid the AI can't keep up."
Even Su Cheng, who had been gentle and mild-mannered outside the warship, nodded: "Yes! The AI's speed is likely to hold Gu Zhilin back. If Gu Zhilin gets frustrated because of the slow speed, he is prone to making mistakes."
Indeed, that was the case. Gu Zhilin was initially quite confident in the AI, but after hitting the target for the first time, he immediately provided the angles for the second and third targets.
As a result, just as the AI was about to design the second target after its calculations, the angle had already shifted to the third target.
So... the second shot missed.
Gu Zhilin was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. In that moment of distraction, he was almost hit by the enemy warship.
This made Gu Zhilin realize that the people around him were not experts like Su Cheng, nor were they Lu Jin'an.
No matter how fast you are, it's useless if the fire control operator can't keep up.
So I had to slow down and start mentally calculating the time it would take for the AI to fire.
Fortunately, Gu Zhilin was clever and quick-witted, and soon grasped the AI's shooting patterns.
However, after four or five shots, there were no more instances of shooting at airdrops.
After Gu Zhilin finished the assessment, he only had one feeling, which was... he was really unhappy.
When everyone saw Gu Zhilin come out with a gloomy face, they knew that he was somewhat frustrated by the AI.
"Are you alright?" Lu Jin'an was the first to go up and ask about the situation.
As a result, Gu Zhilin's first words to Lu Jin'an were: "Lu Jin'an, now I realize just how wonderful you are."
Lu Jin'an was stunned by those words and froze.
But Gu Zhilin ignored him and continued walking forward: "You guys don't know, this AI is practically an artificial idiot, it's too slow."
"I counted his heartbeats to keep track of the time, and it took me a long time to figure out his pattern."
Zeng Yan laughed so hard when she heard this: "When I was taking the test, I was also annoyed by the AI, but I didn't find any pattern. I just waited for it."
Gu Zhilin pouted: "We missed several shells, and I don't know how the results were."
