Regardless of which one he chose, Shi Xiaobai's ability test results would be unsightly. It could be said that there was not much difference between the two. However, the former was a D-level reward, while the latter was an E-level reward. Logically speaking, Shi Xiaobai's best choice was to forfeit and take the D-level reward.
However, he had just promised Pear that he would not take a zero. Hence, there was a qualitative difference between one point and zero points. However, this one point was not easy to obtain.
On one side was a D-level reward that was slightly better, while on the other side was a slim chance of breaking zero. What should Shi Xiaobai do?
"Sigh, a King's promise is more important than anything else. Besides, This King has reincarnated thousands of times and has never received a zero. How can such a precious first time be ruined because of a poor D-level reward? If it's a C-level reward, that's more like it … "
Shi Xiaobai agonized over it for a long time before he finally chose the first option [During the ability test, do not open your eyes and can only shoot once].
.....
To blindly shoot at a target whose location and time of appearance was random, and to hit the target in one shot, was no doubt a huge test, but Shi Xiaobai thought nothing of it.
"This King will deal with whatever comes his way!"
Shi Xiaobai slowly closed his eyes as his vision immediately turned dark. However, the light that diffused out from the metallic walls caused the darkness in his vision to be covered with a hazy layer of light. He was not used to it.
The elder glanced at Shi Xiaobai, thinking that Shi Xiaobai was resting with his eyes closed. The elder paid close attention to this child with double S talent. Regardless of Shi Xiaobai's personality, he was destined to be the most important rookie in [Gaia] in recent years. As long as he did not score zero points in the ability test, he would naturally be evaluated as an S Class rookie.
For the past few years, [Gaia]'s ranking in China had been neither high nor low. It was in a rather awkward situation. Internationally, it had fallen out of the top ranks and into the middle of the pack. The quality of fresh blood injected this year was not bad. If another S Class rookie could be added, it might allow [Gaia] to rejuvenate. Hence, the elder was filled with anticipation for Shi Xiaobai.
"Talent and ability are the most important criteria for [Gaia] rookies. Do not be discouraged because your talent is low, and do not be complacent because your talent is high."
The elder exhorted one last time. Seeing that the four rookies were ready, he announced, "The ability test begins!"
With that said, other than Shi Xiaobai who still had his eyes closed, the other three stared intently at the snow-white screen that nearly covered the entire wall. In a competition where one was vying for a target, victory or defeat was not decided in a second, but in milliseconds. But even though they were nervous, they still had to maintain a steady grip on their guns. That was because a quick reaction did not mean everything. Shooting accuracy was just as important. On this point, even the four-year-old loli Zhong Yue 'er displayed excellent qualities. For the three of them who were born in a Hero family, the various basic skills of a Hero were compulsory lessons for them since they were young.
The huge white screen was like an upside-down white plain, with no other colors visible. Suddenly, a tiny black dot quietly blossomed like a lotus!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Three beams of different colors shot out almost at the same time, hitting the tiny black dot that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
"First, blue!"
A cold mechanical voice emitted from the speaker inside the metal wall. Following that, the number behind Yang Yang's name on the upper left corner of the white screen changed from "0" to "1".
The four rookies used different colored beam guns. Shi Xiaobai was red, Kevin was yellow, Yang Yang was blue, and Zhong Yue 'er was purple. It was used to distinguish who hit the target first. The first shot was clearly Yang Yang's.
Nearly everyone realized that they were missing a beam, but since it was only the first shot, they did not pay much attention to it.
However, very quickly, after ten shots, Shi Xiaobai had yet to fire a single shot.
The elder turned his head to glance at Shi Xiaobai and immediately said in surprise, "Shi Xiaobai, why are you still closing your eyes?"
With this said, everyone in the room was stunned. So Shi Xiaobai had been closing his eyes all this while?
Kevin and Mu Hongli were delighted. They seemed to see a tiny glimmer of hope in the originally hopeless situation. If Shi Xiaobai obtained zero points in the ability test, he would be judged as an "incapable person". It would greatly affect his rating, and as such, Kevin would have a chance to make up for his disadvantage in the talent test.
Yang Yang's heart sank, but he quickly adjusted himself. As he was still in the midst of a test, he needed to maintain an ethereal state of mind. He had lost too much of his dignity during the talent test. In the ability test that he was best at, he had to defend the last bit of dignity he had left.
Yang Yang's calmness brought him the most direct benefit. In the next few dozen shots, he maintained first place, and gradually widened the gap. He demonstrated his extraordinary shooting ability.
Riko, who was sitting there, was already close to tears. She was shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Shi Xiaobai, stop playing!"
"Shi Xiaobai, I'm really going to be angry!"
"Shi Xiaobai, if you don't open your eyes, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Shi Xiaobai, don't screw up at such a critical moment!"
"Shi Xiaobai, I'm begging you. Quickly open your eyes!"
"Shi Xiaobai, I … Sis Riko will not hit you again. Open your eyes, alright?"
“.....”
It was as though Shi Xiaobai did not hear Riko's shouts. He remained indifferent with his eyes closed. The three elders beside him were also persuading Shi Xiaobai to obtain at least one point. They told him that the point determined if he could become an S Class rookie. However, Shi Xiaobai's eyebrows did not even twitch.
It was as though Shi Xiaobai had fallen asleep. He was motionless like a statue.
What had happened? What was wrong with Shi Xiaobai? Was there a problem with his mind? Was there a problem with his eyes? Or was his shooting ability completely lacking, so he was escaping?
Many questions lingered in everyone's minds, but the test was coming to an end.
"93 points, blue!"
At this moment, Yang Yang was at 50 points, Kevin was at 31 points, Zhong Yue 'er was at 12 points, and Shi Xiaobai was still at 0 points.
Mu Hongli's heart that was hanging in suspense was relieved. She did not miss the opportunity and said with a sneer at Riko, "Don't forget our bet. I hope to hear the news of you voluntarily resigning from Pontus tomorrow."
Riko's throat nearly turned hoarse from all the shouting. If not for the fact that the ability test could not be interrupted midway, she would have probably rushed up to beat Shi Xiaobai up. Upon hearing Mu Hongli's mockery, she immediately felt even more depressed. She turned extremely anxious.
"Shi Xiaobai! Quickly open your eyes and obtain one point! As long as you obtain one point, I'll agree to anything you want! "
Riko was already in a state of panic.
However, the moment she said that, a miracle happened. Shi Xiaobai's body suddenly moved. Although his eyes remained closed, his mouth slowly opened. Following that, Shi Xiaobai's fiery voice resounded in the room.
"Girl, will you really agree to anything This King has?"
