Guan Feng was controlling the joystick in his hand, and the targets around him were moving at high speed. Meanwhile, Tang Qiuqiqiu was firing nonstop, and the time between each shot was getting shorter and shorter.
Guan Feng's attention wasn't on the hit rate on the screen. Instead, he was staring at Tang Qiuqiqiu.
It was just as Celine had said. This little girl had an extraordinary talent, or rather, it was closer to an instinct.
She was calm, without hesitation, and every shot was filled with great confidence and decisiveness.
She was a natural-born marksman. It had nothing to do with physique or age.
Silin smiled when he saw the light in Guan Feng's eyes growing brighter and brighter. He believed that Guan Feng would be in a good mood from now on.
Finally, Guan Feng turned off the joystick in his hand. The room returned to its previous state.
Tang Qiuqiqiu looked at Guan Feng in puzzlement before stopping a bit reluctantly. She liked this kind of shooting training, and the conditions were perfect. She felt like she was in the middle of a fight. Of course, Tang Qiuqiqiu would've been happier if the targets were humans. After all, she had killed far more humans than any other animal in her career.
Tang Qiuqiqiu walked to the side and put the gun back into the box. Then, she started taking off her protective gear.
"You're the first person to wear protective gear when coming to my place. Why are you wearing protective gear? Because you don't trust yourself? "Guan Feng asked.
Tang Qiuqiqiu looked at Silin for a moment before turning to Guan Feng. "I don't trust you."
Guan Feng was the one who gave her the gun. There was no way Tang Qiuqiqiu would trust a stranger's gun completely. She even held the gun in her hand for a moment to make sure that it was the same as the one Silin had given her. Only then did she continue.
Secondly, every gun, even if they were of the same type and model, would always have a slight difference in performance. It wasn't her own gun, and it wasn't the gun she was used to using. It was like she was looking at a stranger. She didn't understand or trust it. After shooting a few times, Tang Qiuqiqiu gradually became familiar with the new gun in her hands. Now that she had an idea of how to shoot, it felt more smooth.
Guan Feng wasn't angry at Tang Qiuqiu's answer. Instead, he talked a lot with Tang Qiuqiu.
Silin sat on the side and scratched Huimao's chin, allowing the two to continue their conversation.
Guan Feng was in an exceptionally good mood today because of Tang Qiuqiqiu's incident, so he allowed Czedow to enter the room as well. However, Guan Feng's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Czedow, but he didn't probe into the matter. He was no longer one of Black Viper's three great leaders, so he didn't care about anything else. Right now, all he wanted to do was talk to Tang Qiuqiu a little more. The girl was growing more and more curious.
Due to Guan Feng's rare good mood and Tang Qiuqiu's performance, Guan Feng announced that he had accepted Tang Qiuqiu as his disciple on the same day.
It wasn't easy to become Guan Feng's disciple. Guan Feng was growing more and more famous by the day, and a lot of people wanted to learn from him. He didn't care if you were a noble or someone else, Guan Feng didn't give face to anyone. Right now, Guan Feng had both power and money. He didn't lack either fame or wealth, so he wouldn't be able to recruit anyone even if he tried to pull some strings. Fuck off!
This comparison made Tang Qiuqiu's uniqueness even more obvious. Although she wasn't as versatile as Silin, and her constitution wasn't as good as Silin's, Tang Qiuqiu's marksmanship was pure and unadulterated. It was pure talent that made Guan Feng feel like he had found a treasure.
"Oh right, Silin, I have something for you. You've been gone for a long time, so it's about time you finished a mission."
Guan Feng tossed an electronic card to Silin.
Silin caught it and pressed a button on it. A light screen popped up with a line of words on it.
"Invitation?"
It was an invitation for the selection test.
It was time for the selection test again. The organizers had sent out a lot of invitations and counted which instructors had been invited.
Cillin looked at the description and some of the benefits and rewards. It was very generous. Money was one thing, but there were also certain privileges such as access to the RAS 'warehouse to get materials.
The RAS was very rich, and this wealth was mostly reflected in their research. Composite materials were one of them. Black Viper had Black Viper's patent, and the RAS was no slouch either. The RAS had produced a lot of research over the years, and Silin had accepted Guan Feng's mission because he was interested in those composite materials.
The empire's academic world underwent a reform after the "return" forum appeared. The Mist Bodhisattva Empire, the Three Kings, and the RAS worked together to put in a lot of effort into the selection test. They changed the selection test time and the number of examinees.
In the past, in order to participate in the selection test of the affiliated schools, one had to be recommended. Those without recommendation cards were not qualified to participate in the assessment test. However, after the reform, there was an additional requirement: In addition to recommendation cards, there would also be a certain number of places on the "Return" forum. Those places were completely based on one's true ability, and it was purely academic.
Although a lot of people still criticized the system, it was a lot better than before. It gave more people a chance.
When Silin and the others came, they came in a group of three people and a cat. When they left, it was two people and a cat. Tang Qiuqiu was left behind by Guan Feng. Guan Feng and Tang Qiuqiu were researching the world of firearms, so they didn't have time to pay attention to the selection test instructors' invitations. In Guan Feng's opinion, they could be ignored. Guan Feng was going to refuse them at first, but he happened to run into Silin and Silin. Silin was more than qualified to do so.
Since Cillin had accepted Guan Feng's mission, he had to treat it seriously. Of course, he had to take care of the exams he missed while he was away from the academy. Guan Feng had already informed the instructors about this, and a lot of instructors knew that Cillin was a special student. Therefore, the make-up exams went relatively smoothly.
Silin's make-up exam results were very good, and the instructors didn't say anything. They weren't just giving face to Guan Feng, they were also giving face to Silin. In fact, a lot of the instructors thought highly of Silin. Silin said what they didn't dare to say, did what they didn't have the ability to do. Moreover, he created the "return" forum, which was the most authoritative forum in the Mist Bodhisattva Empire where scholars gathered. It was much more influential than the RAS's internal communication forum.
After the make-up exam was over, Silin took care of his classes and began preparing for the selection test that was going to be held on the satellite not far away from the affiliated school's main campus in five days.
Silin passed his library card to Czedow. For the past few days, Czedow had been spending his time in the affiliated school's library and enjoying himself. That was why Cillin wasn't worried that Czedow would feel bored. Right now, the guy was spending the night in the library every single day, and unlike humans, Czedow didn't need to sleep at night. Instead, he sat at his desk and read attentively at night. Even the librarians who worked at the library recognized this strange 'student'. It was said that there were even some students who got addicted to chatting with Czedow while they were searching for information. At the end of the day, Czedow was a celebrity in the affiliated school's library.
Silin took the invitation card Guan Feng gave him and went to the organizer to report. The organizer hadn't expected Guan Feng to accept the invitation at first. He just sent it out as usual and waited for Guan Feng's rejection letter. However, the rejection letter never came. They waited for a while longer, but it still didn't come. Therefore, some people began to speculate that Teacher Guan had forgotten about the invitation in a fit of anger.
The organizer was a little surprised when Silin passed the invitation card to the organizer. It took him a long time to realize that Silin was going to replace Guan Feng as a member of the assessment team.
"How's Teacher Guan doing lately?" The organizer tried to get close to Silin while handling the invitation card.
Outsiders might not know, but some of the higher-ups of the affiliated school knew that there were a lot of people behind Silin. Teacher Guan wasn't the only one, but the royals and the imperial family as well. Everyone knew that Silin had a good relationship with the three princes of the royal family. Moreover, other than this reason, Cillin was the number one administrator of the 'Return' forum he created. Although this administrator didn't really manage the forum after it was created, his status as an administrator was still there. People in the academic and educational circles had to give some face to Cillin. Otherwise, this "troublemaker" grandpa's roar on the forum would be more than enough to make them suffer.
"Teacher Guan has been doing well lately." Silin replied with a smile.
"Didn't you say that Teacher Guan lost his temper because of something?"
"That's all in the past now. It's nothing serious. Teacher Guan's been in a good mood lately. If there's anything you want to talk to him about, you can try. "
Everyone knew that Guan Feng had lost his temper. There were a lot of people who wanted to ask Guan Feng for help, but none of them dared to do so. The organizer wanted to get some information from Silin. Silin understood, so he revealed some information to the organizer.
After processing the personal information on the invitation card, the organizer passed the newly registered invitation card to Silin. Silin's name had already been recorded in the assessment team, and his information had been refreshed. Therefore, all Silin needed to do was bring this invitation card with him to the preparatory campus.
As for Huimao, it had participated in the selection test because of Silin. Its role was the same as King Kong and the others that Silin and the others had encountered during the selection test, and that was to cause trouble for the candidates. To put it bluntly, it was toying with them.
Huimao was very happy to take on this task. Not only could it fight alongside King Kong and the others, it could also earn some extra money to buy cat food by toying with the new students …
Why not?
Since this was the first selection test after the reform of the system, there were more people coming to the preparatory campus. Many buildings had been built there as well.
Before Silin left for the preparatory campus, Gen Xingming and the others pulled him over for a friendly chat. They had only wanted to catch up with Silin because they hadn't seen him for a long time. They didn't expect that Silin would be on the list of invigilators this time. The three of them were overjoyed. As usual, they would take one of the five tests together with the candidates who came to participate in the selection test. It would count as their semester assessment.
"Silin, you have to go easy on us!"
"That's right, we're counting on you!"
"You have to help us. I don't know if we'll be as lucky as last time and run into good teammates. If we're unlucky and get a low score, we'll definitely get beaten up when we get back."
Silin was helpless against the trio's complaints and requests. He didn't know anything about the details of the test at all. After the reform, the higher-ups were even more tight-lipped about certain secrets. This was a joint decision of the royal family and the RAS. No one dared to object.
Because Gen Xingming and the others had dragged him to drink the day before, Silin arrived at the preparatory campus a little late the next day. Most of the invigilators were already in the dorms by the time he arrived. When Silin went to check in, he ran into one of the main invigilators. It was an old instructor from AF1. He looked like he was easy to talk to, but he was actually an old urchin who often had the temperament of a child. Silin had just finished his make-up test two days ago.
"Yo, Silin. You're going to have to deduct your pay for coming so late," said the old instructor.
"It hasn't expired yet, so it's not considered late." Silin took out his invitation card and handed it to the person handling the check-in while replying to the old instructor.
The old instructor looked at the check-in form displayed on the device and chuckled. He said to the person in charge, "Transfer him to the temporary accommodation area. The one on the first floor of Block C is pretty good. Take it as punishment for being late."
The temporary accommodation area … was where the candidates lived. It was where Silin had lived before.
The person in charge looked at Silin, then at the old instructor. He moved his finger and bound Silin's information to the temporary accommodation area.
Silin looked at the old instructor who was smiling kindly and accepted the check-in and invitation card. Before he left, he said to the old instructor, "You look like a fox when you smile."
"Thanks for the compliment. Oh right, Old Man Guan seems to be doing well recently. I heard that he took in a new disciple. You have a little junior sister now."
"Yes, that's what happened."
"You've fallen out of favor, young man!" The old instructor said with a regretful look.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. I was the one who recommended my new junior sister." After saying that, Celine waved her hand and left.
Watching Silin leave, the old instructor rubbed his short beard and humphed. "Old Fox Guan is such a lucky bastard!"
The person in charge of the accommodation area was silent. He thought to himself, 'That's so sour.'
When Silin arrived at the temporary accommodation area, he recalled the first time he came here. These unfamiliar faces were the same as the people in his year. They were all full of hope and ambition.
From the preparatory campus planet, they could see the big official campus planet. That was their final destination. This place was just a temporary place for them to stay.
That planet was like their religion. It was a place where they could change their fate.
Some of these people were born poor, some were descendants of mutants, and some were nobles. No matter who they were, this was a rare opportunity.
Building C, first floor, room 103?
Right now, not all of the examinees had arrived. There were still two days left, and the members of the assessment team would arrive a little earlier than the examinees. This was because the assessment team needed to make a series of deployments and assignments, and there were still a few more meetings to be held after that. They would not be idle at all.
Silin swiped the card on the door and walked into the dormitory. The candidates' dormitory was definitely not as good as the assessment team's dormitory, but compared to the dormitories of many schools, this was already very good.
Silin was not dissatisfied with this. Two of the five rooms in room 103 were already occupied. Silin randomly picked one of the remaining three rooms. There wasn't much to tidy up. It was just that Huimao's cat nest was a little more troublesome. The old cat wanted to lay a blanket in the cat nest. Silin struggled for a long time before he managed to tidy it up.
"You can clean up your own nest later. I won't interfere," Silin said.
"Don't worry, I'll have the robots do it." Huimao walked around the cat nest, rolled around, and nodded in satisfaction.
The two examinees who arrived first were probably training, so they weren't in the dormitory. Cillin made some food and then left while carrying his toolbox.
This time, Silin would participate in the deployment of some of the test sites. Guan Feng had taught him a lot of dirty tricks, so Silin was too embarrassed to torture the poor candidates. He chose a few suitable ones and deployed them according to the situation.
After he came out, he saw that there was a match going on in the open-air training field in front of Building C. There were a lot of people watching. The candidates were martial arts. One was an alien, and the other was a normal human. However, neither of them were weak and were evenly matched. It was a stalemate.
Silin prepared to leave after watching for a while. He still had things to do. But he had only taken two steps when he heard a faint sound of something cutting through the air. It was very hard to hear in this noisy field.
Whoosh!
Cillin raised his hand and caught a soft object between two fingers. This object looked a little like a soft bullet a child would play with, but it was slightly smaller than a normal soft bullet. Its quality was a little better, and it shot out faster than a normal soft bullet. On the premise that it wasn't fatal, it would cause the opponent to suffer a little.
Through the crowd, Silin saw a person sitting on a shelf at the edge of the field. It was a girl about the same age as Tang Qiuqiu. When Silin looked over, the girl made a face at him. She didn't feel guilty or guilty at all about being discovered.
Some people had also seen the scene of Celine catching the soft bullet. Quite a few people had suffered at the hands of the little girl over the past few days, so Celine being able to catch the soft bullet surprised some people.
Cillin ignored them and flicked the soft bullets into the nearest trash bin with a flick of his fingers. Then, he left the place.
"Who's that guy?" Someone who saw the scene asked the candidate next to him.
"I'm not sure. I've never heard of such a powerful person. He can't be from our Star Region."
"That kid is quite strong. No wonder he doesn't care about the things here."
"That's called hiding your true colors. Being too arrogant makes it easy for others to plot against you."
After Silin left, the girl sitting on the shelf pulled up her sleeve, revealing a bracelet. It looked like a very exquisite accessory, but it was actually a communication device.
"Help me investigate someone," the girl said into the communication device.
"Yes!" The person on the other side of the communication device replied respectfully.
…
After Silin left the temporary accommodation area, he went to inspect the terrain of the field. The guards there were quite surprised by this young member of the assessment team. Could he be a candidate in disguise?
After checking Silin's identity information and invitation card several times, the guards finally let Silin in.
"Silin, do you want to install a hidden weapon?" Huimao said as he squatted on a tree after running around madly.
