However, there were some matters that had become clear.
Riko smiled sweetly and her eyes were filled with glee. "Mu Hongli, do you remember our bet? Go back and pack up. I happen to lack a maidservant to order around. Hehe ~ "
Mu Hongli's face was gloomy and she looked extremely indignant. She said hatefully, "We bet on the final outcome of the Rookie Ranking. It's only the first stage now."
Riko smacked her lips and said disapprovingly, "Shi Xiaobai is ahead of that Golden-Furred Narcissist by so much in the first stage. Unless Shi Xiaobai gets zero points in the second stage, triggering the 'Incompetent Judgment', Golden-Furred Narcissist will definitely lose."
Mu Hongli also knew that Kevin's chances of winning were minute, but she refused to admit it verbally. Hence, she said stubbornly, "Who knows, Shi Xiaobai might really get zero points?"
Riko looked at Mu Hongli as though she was looking at a retard. Mu Hongli gaped her mouth but was rendered speechless. She had never heard of anyone getting zero points in the second stage.
No matter how dumb Shi Xiaobai was, he was still a genius. It was impossible for him to not get a single point, right?
.....
Shi Xiaobai was filled with fighting spirit because he had accepted Yang Yang's challenge. As for what the challenge was, cough, he temporarily did not know.
"This King will deal with whatever comes his way."
With this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai's ears pricked up as he listened attentively to the elder's explanation of the rules of the ability test.
"The second ability test is to test one of the most basic abilities of a Hero, shooting ability."
Upon hearing the elder's first sentence, Shi Xiaobai was somewhat dumbfounded. When did shooting ability become the most basic ability of a Hero?
Could it be that the Heroes of this world relied on firearms, wielding machine guns and firing? Shi Xiaobai was immediately disappointed. The Hero in his heart was someone who punched calamity fiends, kicked Astral Calamity Beasts and slashed alien spaceships. They did not rely on external forces or technology.
"Why is shooting ability one of the most basic abilities of a Hero? Do Heroes not use cold weapons? "Shi Xiaobai put down his dignity as a King and asked Yang Yang shamelessly.
"Are you serious?" Yang Yang rolled his eyes at him.
"Of course!" Shi Xiaobai nodded seriously.
"I really don't know if you are acting dumb or if you are really dumb." Yang Yang grumpily lampooned. After a moment of hesitation, he seriously explained.
"Although Psionites are split into several realms, most Psionites are at the weakest Psionic Mortal Realm. In fact, most Heroes were at the Psionic Mortal Realm. Of course, Psionic Mortal Realm Heroes were basically F Class Heroes. However, F Class Heroes constituted the most basic safety of society. Most criminals and terrorists were apprehended by F Class Heroes. As those at the Psionic Mortal Realm were unable to perfectly withstand bullets, the might of cold weapons was far inferior to firearms. So to these Psionic Mortal Realm F Class Heroes, the best choice is still firearms. "
"Therefore, for every person who aspires to be a hero, the ability to shoot is a basic ability. This is because most people can only struggle at the Psionic Mortal Realm."
Yang Yang spoke without any emotion as though he was reciting from a book. He said, "Although Psykers are rather special, with a number of Psykers having the means to resist firearms at the Psionic Mortal Realm, the lethality of a Psyker at the Psionic Mortal Realm is typically inferior to firearms. Therefore, marksmanship is a compulsory course for Psykers. In short, be it Psionites or Psykers, before breaking through from the Psionic Mortal Realm to the Psionic Soul Realm, firearms were superior to cold weapons. But after breaking through, it was the opposite. Those Heroes at the D Class and above basically use cold weapons. "
Shi Xiaobai was immediately confused when he heard a bunch of terms he had never heard of before from Yang Yang's mouth. However, he did not pursue the matter.
And on the other side, the elder had finished explaining the rules of the second round.
The moment the elder finished speaking, the metallic wall that was flashing with data was suddenly covered in white. It was like a gigantic white screen, and on the top left of the white screen were the names of four rookies. Following behind them was a number. At this moment, the number was "0".
The content of the ability test was very simple, but it was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Four rookies competed on the same stage. On the gigantic white screen, black targets would randomly appear. The four would use their beam guns to shoot, and the first to hit the target would obtain points. After hitting a target, the next target would randomly appear. There would be a total of a hundred target points.
The randomness here referred to the randomness of the location of the target points, as well as the randomness of the interval between the target points.
This test tested the reaction speed, shooting speed and shooting accuracy of the rookies. It was considered a rather comprehensive test.
Shi Xiaobai received a beam gun that looked like a pistol from the elder. He pulled the trigger out of curiosity, and immediately, a red beam shot out from the muzzle. Hence, Shi Xiaobai immediately felt playful as he shot the beam at the people in the room. Only when the elder stopped him with a sullen face did he stop.
The other three rookies standing in the same row as Shi Xiaobai were not as carefree as Shi Xiaobai. They were extremely nervous. Shi Xiaobai's double S talent in the first stage had basically established him as the first in the rookie evaluation. To the three of them, the second stage's competition was even more important.
Shi Xiaobai was indeed not nervous at all. He was even studying how to dismantle the beam gun.
"Hey, Xiaobai, how's your shooting ability?"
A girl's bell-like voice resounded in his ear. Shi Xiaobai turned his head and realized that Riko had appeared behind him at some point in time.
"Don't worry. Be it CF or CS, This King has already reached the point of perfection. No one can match this King's shooting ability. Girl, do you want to try?"
Shi Xiaobai answered confidently as he raised the beam gun and aimed it at the girl's face.
Upon hearing this, Riko was stunned. She had a nagging feeling that something was amiss, so she subconsciously punched Shi Xiaobai in the head. As this world did not have CF or CS, Riko did not know what Shi Xiaobai was talking about. However, seeing Shi Xiaobai's confident performance, she could not help but feel relieved. However, she still said, "Anyway, as long as you don't get zero points, it's fine even if you only get one point."
"Tch ~" Shi Xiaobai felt disdain towards this, but for some reason, he took the opportunity to ask, "So what if I get zero points?"
Riko hesitated for a moment and felt that there was nothing to hide at this stage. Hence, she said, "Ahem, This Miss made a bet with that ugly freak in red. Anyway, as long as you exceed zero points, This Miss will win."
"So that's the case. Don't worry, Girl. Since This King has already signed a blood oath with you, This King will naturally help you win the bet!" Shi Xiaobai patted his chest.
Riko rolled her eyes at him. Seeing that the test was about to begin, she exhorted him once again before slowly walking back to her seat on the right.
"What a joke, how can This King get zero points? Naive Girl. "
Just thinking of obtaining one point made Shi Xiaobai feel extremely relaxed. What a joke. Although he had never been able to break past ten points in school tests, he had never scored zero points before. In this aspect, Shi Xiaobai was rather confident.
"Make your choice, youth!"
Suddenly, a fiery voice resounded in Shi Xiaobai's mind. Time came to a halt as everyone in the room froze.
Two lines of black text slowly appeared in front of Shi Xiaobai.
The f * cking scene named "Absolute Choice" had appeared once again!
[Choice 1: During the ability test, do not open your eyes and can only shoot once (E-level reward)]
[Choice 2: Directly forfeit, passing the test with zero points (D-level reward)]
Shi Xiaobai looked at the two lines of black text and was stunned for a moment.
"D-level reward … It looks like This King still has a chance of getting zero points."
At this moment, Shi Xiaobai's confidence wavered.
