Why is the body measurement instrument cracked?
In less than five minutes, the staff completed the data entry for Liu Xia. The work efficiency can be said to be extremely fast, direct and efficient.
This is in stark contrast to some government offices in the real world.
As the staff led the way to the physical fitness test site, the original registration seat became vacant and someone immediately took its place.
The three of them walked along the corridor and soon arrived at a huge venue, which looked a bit like a large gymnasium. There were many instruments with a black metallic luster all over the venue.
At this time, there were many people exercising on the right side of the field, while there was almost no one on the other side, only a few instruments for testing physical fitness.
The staff member led the two to an observation window and stood there. He bowed slightly to Song Xuan and said respectfully, "Deputy Commander, please wait here. Only contestants are allowed to enter the test site."
Song Xuan nodded. He also knew the rule. Even if Qi Ya came, he could not enter.
"Xia, I'll wait for you here." Song Xuan turned his head to look at Liu Xia, smiled gently and continued, "Be careful during the test. I'll take you to lunch after it's over."
The staff's gossip radar went off like crazy again. If Song Xuan, who was over 1.8 meters tall, hadn't been standing next to them, they would have rushed over to gossip with their friends.
Liu Xia nodded and followed the staff into the physical fitness test field, stopping only in front of a testing machine.
After the staff member gave a brief explanation, he stood aside and picked up an electronic device to prepare to test her and record her results.
Near the tester, there was a strong man doing physical exercise. His arms and hands had been modified into mechanical prostheses. He was very curious about the new woman who came to test him.
"Hey, a 'pure natural' without prosthetic limbs dares to participate in the S-rank selection?" He deliberately raised his voice, not knowing whether he was speaking to Liu Xia or the staff. "The selection process for the hunting team is getting more and more relaxed."
Liu Xia ignored him and calmly walked to the tester and pressed his palm on the authentication panel. After the system scanned it, a green light came on.
[Identity Confirmed - Participant: Liu Xia, no mechanical modifications]
"Ha! He's an outsider indeed!" The man spread his hands exaggeratedly, smiling mockingly, "Don't let the basic weights crush you down later, little sister!"
He even deliberately prolonged the three words "little sister" in a sarcastic tone, making it seem extremely funny.
Several contestants who were debugging their exoskeletons nearby laughed, and one of them even whistled provocatively.
Liu Xia remained silent and ignored them. He quietly took off his coat and handed it to the staff beside him, revealing the close-fitting military green combat vest underneath.
There were no signs of prosthetic limbs or subcutaneous armor on her body, only arms with strong muscles and clear lines. With a slight effort, the explosive muscles bulged under the tight skin.
Liu Xia walked to the instrument marked with explosive power test. It was a device similar to a boxing machine, except that the metal plates and brackets of the entire machine were very sturdy. Even the leather covering the boxing target was made of mutant animal skin and was extremely hard.
The staff kindly handed Liu Xia a pair of boxing gloves, but she raised her hand to refuse.
The news that an outsider came to take the physical test spread. It was a young girl. Many people who were already actively preparing for the test gathered around him.
When they saw Liu Xia refuse the boxing gloves, they started to talk in a low voice.
The man with both arms modified was the one who sneered, "Those gloves are for those who haven't been modified. How dare those with tiny arms and legs not wear gloves? I'm afraid they'll be taken to the infirmary soon, right?"
The next second, before everyone could see clearly, they heard a loud "bang!" and the boxing target was hit hard and flew away. The numbers on the screen jumped wildly, and even the metal plate that was in contact with the boxing target was hit with deep dents.
The number finally settled at 1,000 kilograms.
The man with modified arms instantly became quiet, staring at the number with wide eyes in disbelief. He had only scored 500 kilograms in the previous test, which was already an upper-middle level among the contestants.
Before the onlookers could shut up, they saw that the metal plate, which was originally only dented, suddenly cracked with a "crack".
Now, even the other people who were still talking in the field shut up.
The three hundred years of nuclear radiation have been a disaster for most people, but an opportunity for a few others. It is not known whether the nuclear pollution has changed the structure of some parts of the human body, and a group of people with extraordinary talents and super physical fitness have been born.
Some are extremely powerful, while others possess abnormal self-healing abilities. Their bodies usually have varying degrees of resistance to nuclear radiation, and they eventually become hunters roaming contaminated areas.
This is also why the early research direction of "Leviathan" was mutation and fusion. It was not until it was discovered that it was difficult to achieve perfection that it changed to the extreme direction of biological-grade mechanical prosthetic transformation, which has continued to this day.
So even though most of those who possess this kind of power are hunters modified with high-end prosthetic limbs, it is not completely impossible for Liu Xia to exert this kind of kilogram-level force on his own.
However, even people with mechanical prosthetic limbs can only exert a maximum force of 650 kilograms. But the strength of this woman, who they did not think highly of, is almost twice as much, which is still very shocking!
Although there are hunters in "Leviathan" who can achieve higher stats, they are still not comparable to these mid-level players who still need to work hard to train their physical fitness here.
The key point is, how come this metal plate, which serves as a fixing, is cracked?!
Even the hunter with higher stats couldn't crack the metal plate!!!
What was even more unimaginable to them was that this was the result of Liu Xia restraining her strength. Her tremendous strength was beyond the imagination of these little Karami.
Liu Xia came to the next instrument again. It was a place full of robotic arms. Each robotic arm had two blades welded on it. When the staff pressed the start button, the robotic arms would start to rotate rapidly.
This is an agility test. As long as you can reach the other side using these robotic arms, you will pass.
The staff handed her a set of exoskeleton armor and explained, "Ms. Liu Xia, this is test armor, specially prepared for unprotected contestants."
"No need." Liu Xia looked at the steel armor full of scratches with some disgust. She didn't know how many people had worn it. Moreover, seeing the thick metal would also affect her performance.
Liu Xia had no exoskeleton or metal armor to protect her from damage. When she once again refused the armor provided by the staff, the originally quiet venue exploded again.
"Is this woman going to die?"
"She underestimated the agility test. I think she'll be carried out this time..."
"That's right!" The man with the robotic arm, who had just been slapped in the face, couldn't help but complain again. "The last time that guy dared to go in without any protection, I remember he was in the hospital for half a month and had to borrow a lot of points to get two robotic legs."
When Liu Xia stepped onto the platform, even the staff couldn't help but remind her, "This difficulty level is set based on the physical strength of an S-class hunter. Ms. Liu Xia, are you sure you don't need armor?"
Liu Xia shook her head calmly, tied the ends of her slightly longer hair into a braid, and said in a cold but polite voice, "Please start directly."
The staff member secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at the observation window. He saw Deputy Commander Song Xuan staring at this place intently. His eyes were serious and gloomy as he looked at the booing contestants. He felt very oppressive, but he had no intention of interfering with Liu Xia's desire to continue the test.
The staff was frightened by Song Xuan's gaze and broke out in a cold sweat. They quickly shouted at the people around them who were making a fuss, "Quiet down! Stop making noise!"
This Liu Xia was brought here by the deputy commander of the Royal Guards. No one dared to mess with him now. Since Song Xuan didn't come to stop him, he had no choice but to continue. He gritted his teeth and pressed the start button in his hand.
