Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
If the garrison issued any missions, Sandy wouldn't be able to complete them, and he might even lose his life. This brings up another issue: don't think that passing the quasi-warrior assessment means you can get paid for doing nothing. At this time, Liu Ning had already controlled himself a lot, but unfortunately, these people's strength was not good enough, and Liu Ning ranked first again among these 30-plus people.
Liu Ning thought about it and realized that to successfully win over Sandy, he had to become Sandy's great benefactor. If he helped Sandy pass the assessment, Sandy would remain at his original gathering point, which would be very inconvenient for Liu Ning.
Moreover, from another perspective, Sandy's strength wasn't truly up to par with a quasi-warrior. Forcibly helping Sandy pass the assessment wouldn't be a good thing; it would lead to many troubles later. If the garrison issued any missions, Sandy wouldn't be able to complete them, and he might even lose his life.
This brings up another issue: don't think that passing the quasi-warrior assessment means you can get paid for doing nothing. Of course, that's not the case. The garrison issues orders periodically, which is what a warrior should do. If you don't complete the mission, your points will drop significantly, so everyone has to complete their missions.
Helping Sandy cheat now would only harm the kid later, so Liu Ning chose a different path.
While everyone was chatting, the staff had already completed the preparations and began ushering people into the venue. The first round of tests was about to begin.
The first round of testing was a strength test. In the center of the venue were three strength testing machines. Participants were not allowed to use any skills; they had to exert their maximum strength to punch the machine, and the displayed strength would be their own. If anyone was found using skills, their examination qualification would be revoked on the spot.
600 kilograms was the passing line. If one couldn't meet 600 kilograms, there was no need to continue with the subsequent tests. This was the first hurdle and also the one that eliminated the most people. Liu Ning had seen online that at least 50% of the people would be eliminated in this round.
For the warrior apprentices here, 600 kilograms wasn't really a difficult task. If they were allowed to use skills, 100% of them would pass. But if they could only use brute force without skills, 600 kilograms would stump most people.
“Next…”
“Next, go back and practice some more.”
Liu Ning could clearly hear the staff's voices. Most of the people who went up for the test failed. If one out of three succeeded, that was already a pretty good ratio.
The staff members were impartial. If they opened a back door for you now, you wouldn't pass the later tests anyway, which would still be a waste of time. It was better to reject you mercilessly in the first round, so you'd know your deficiencies and go back to train properly. You could come back next month to try again, provided you had enough registration fees, of course.
Liu Ning's number was in the 80s, and he originally thought it would be a long time before it was his turn. Who knew that only three minutes had passed, and Liu Ning was already standing in front of the strength testing machine.
As Liu Ning predicted, Sandy got his results earlier than Liu Ning. The guy only had 524 kilograms of strength, so he was eliminated by the staff, and in the very first round at that.
Sandy had used all his might, but he was too young and hadn't received systematic training in his daily life. If even someone like him could pass the exam, then most people here would be able to pass, and quasi-warriors would no longer be valuable.
“Go wait for me at the entrance. I have something to talk to you about.”
Liu Ning wrote his contact information on a piece of paper and slipped it into Sandy's hand. Although Sandy had just met Liu Ning, he knew Liu Ning was a very kind person. Sandy nodded in a daze, not knowing why Liu Ning wanted to talk to him.
Liu Ning gently tapped on it, and it displayed 955 kilograms.
This number was the highest in this group. Sandy saw it as he was leaving, and his eyes were filled with envy.
For Sandy, it was hard to believe that this was the big brother he had just been talking to. Why was his strength so powerful? So much higher than the passing line.
Number 89, who was behind, also passed the test, but number 89 was only slightly above the passing line. Number 89 saw Liu Ning and Sandy being so close and had a bad feeling. This guy had such a high score, and everyone around was discussing that Liu Ning was from a big family. If Liu Ning wanted to interfere with the gathering point's affairs, it would certainly be very easy, so number 89 kept a distance from Liu Ning, as if that would make him safer.
After the first round of tests was completed, only 33 people entered the second round. The rest had to leave. The second round of tests was still a strength test, but it was completely different from the first round. In the first round, you were allowed to wind up, and there was no time limit for winding up. The second round required you to continuously strike the strength testing machine at least 20 times, and then the average of the highest 20 strikes would be taken.
Many people were unclear about this test item, wondering what it was and what its purpose was.
But Liu Ning was very clear: when facing attacks from fierce beasts in the wild, you couldn't unleash your single strongest blow. Continuously striking the fierce beast was the correct combat method. The second round of assessment was quite close to actual combat. If your average value wasn't high, it probably wouldn't be of much use; in actual combat, you would only be eaten by fierce beasts.
This was also the first time Liu Ning admired this assessment system. It seemed that the people who formulated it were not incompetent; they also knew it needed some practical significance.
Of course, there were no skill restrictions in the second round. Whatever skills you had, you could use them in the second round. As long as your average value was above 700 kilograms, you could smoothly pass the second round.
Among the remaining 30-plus people, all of them had their own skills. Liu Ning's average value was 1100 kilograms. At this time, Liu Ning had already controlled himself a lot, but unfortunately, these people's strength was not good enough, and Liu Ning ranked first again among these 30-plus people.
In everyone's eyes, Liu Ning must have been a scion of a prominent family, so their eyes held disdain. These young masters were useless; they only knew how to inflate their scores. When it came to the wild, these people would just wet their pants, having no practical combat experience whatsoever.
Liu Ning didn't even bother to address their criticisms, only thinking about finishing quickly so he could go talk to Sandy.
