Chapter 99 Let’s Play a Game (Part 3)
"Congratulations, Miss Tong! It's the Healing Department!" The inspector suppressed his excitement and took her to the testing point for other departments. He couldn't wait to find out - this third SS-level psychic was a single- or dual-system psychic.
Their detection order is healing, then support, then defense, and finally attack.
"Next is the auxiliary system test. Let's play a little game." The inspector handed the blueprint to Tong Wanwan and gestured for her to sit down and take a look. "This is a blueprint for the parts assembly device of a simple booster mecha. You can take a look at it first."
The auxiliary department test was conducted in a clean and tidy room with only a table and chairs. She took the blueprint, sat down, and spread it out on the table.
This isn't a drawing of the entire mecha, but rather a depiction of one of the components in the power system.
However, the names and functions of every large and small part are clearly marked on the drawings, so even a layman like her who has never been exposed to mecha casting can understand it.
"Let me tell you about the test," the tester explained. "Most support-type psychics have a natural interest in mecha forging and are also skilled at assembling various weapons. Excellent support-type psychics are natural mecha masters."
"This mini-game is just a test to see if you have the talent to become a support type." In other words, whether you can become a support type.
"These are the parts to be assembled," he said, pulling open the desk drawer and taking out a translucent dust box. Inside the box were the parts depicted on the blueprint. "Ms. Tong Wanwan, all you need to do is assemble them according to the serial numbers and assembly instructions marked on the blueprint."
In fact, there is a half-hour time limit as the test standard. However, it does not make any difference if the test results are notified after half an hour.
It can also reduce some stress.
The inspector smiled and reminded, "These parts have been specially processed. They... also require the integration of spiritual power before they can be put together."
Tong Wanwan was stunned.
In other words, not only do you have to assemble them according to the drawings, but you also have to constantly use your mental power in the process?
Seeing her puzzlement, the inspector smiled and said, "Assistance psychics are knowledgeable casters. They are patient and focused on their creations. Moreover, the highest-quality mechas are all infused with the creator's psychic energy during their crafting."
"Well, I mean... you could think of it like the 'enchantment' often seen in old games, which grants a mech special properties. The mental energy the mech operator initially infuses into the mech will temporarily enhance it, making it incredibly effective in combat."
So that's how it is. Tong Wanwan suddenly became interested.
"Okay, Miss Tong, the Marshal and I will be leaving first."
Before they left the room, Tong Wanwan felt someone touching her head. She raised her eyes and met Elvis's golden pupils that hinted at encouragement.
"Mr. Marshal?" As she was being patted on the head, she raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling, and whispered, "I'll do my best!"
"..." Elvis' heart was stabbed, "Yeah."
Then, with his ears burning and hidden by his hair, he pretended to be calm as he walked out of the room and closed the door for her.
[Hmph.] The only one upset with Elvis is System 1551. [They're touching my Wanwan again.]
However, while the system was complaining, Tong Wanwan had already fallen into the "mini-game" of the blueprint.
Integrating spiritual power into parts...
She carefully looked at the order on the blueprint, found the corresponding parts, condensed her mental power into threads, attached them to her five fingers, and concentrated on assembling them.
Pins, gears, transmission rods, micro-propellers...
The power system used in the core engine of the mecha is a very meticulous and sophisticated drive system. Even a simple part of the power system attracted all of Tong Wanwan's attention.
However, piecing them together one by one is too slow.
What can I do?
[What's with the "mini-game" thing? This test isn't easy at all. It's incredibly difficult.] 1551 was still mumbling.
It is indeed a waste of time to look at the drawings and assemble parts at the same time.
If it were a psychic who already had some knowledge of mechas, he would definitely not need to look at the blueprints and could piece it together quickly.
Unconsciously, Tong Wanwan's thoughts took a turn.
She thought: mental power can be released outward to "revive" potted plants; it can be attached to fingertips like now and injected into parts; it can also wander freely in any part of the body, so... what will happen if mental power is transferred to the brain?
[It's not like I have a photographic memory, so how long will it take me to finish the puzzle just by looking at the blueprint?]
Yi Yi's casual words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly clearing up Tong Wanwan's confusion.
That’s right! This is it!
Tong Wanwan opened her eyes, quickly put the small parts in her hand together, and picked up the map.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly let it out.
As long as you memorize the entire blueprint, remember the analysis of each component, remember the order in which they should be assembled, and completely "understand" this blueprint, then...
She divided the mental power she could mobilize into three streams, focusing them on her brain, eyes, and hands respectively.
The inspector and Ivis stood in the lounge, watching the video footage on the projection screen connected to another room.
"Why did Miss Tong stop? She even closed her eyes." The inspector was startled and subconsciously looked at Elvis and asked, "Did she expend too much mental energy and get tired?"
The Marshal frowned, as if he had the same concern, but he didn't say anything.
Ten minutes have passed since the test started.
"Mr. Marshal, do you want to stop the test?"
It seems... Miss Tong isn't a dual-system psychic. The inspector felt relieved, but somehow also a little disappointed.
In fact, although everyone says that a single system is the strongest, but... the fact that a dual system has more and wider possibilities is undeniable.
Elvis folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the wall, "Wait a little longer."
He always had an unreasonable and unfounded trust in Tong Wanwan.
“Click, click, click…”
Suddenly, the sound of assembling parts came from the projection screen again, and this time, it was faster, more continuous and smoother.
The next second, the inspector saw a scene that shocked him to the point of being speechless.
The black-haired girl sat at the desk with her back straight, her hands never stopping the assembling movements, fitting, pressing, and controlling the rotation.
Throughout the whole process, the girl became more and more skilled and relaxed, as if she was playing with an ordinary Rubik's Cube. Although only her fingers and wrists were turning quickly, it had an addictive attraction like a drug.
Just looking at him will make your heart flutter with his handsomeness.
