Ye Xuan turned a blind eye to the mocking gazes and gleeful smiles on the faces of the thirty-six individuals. He wasn't worried about his own situation at all, and he stood there with an indifferent expression on his face.
"Alright, after you've chosen your partners, everyone can begin the spiritual power compatibility test!" Pendicus stood on top of the stage, silently observing everything that was happening below. His face was expressionless, and he only glanced at the similarly expressionless Ye Xuan before opening his mouth to speak.
As soon as Pendicus finished speaking, seven or eight staff members pushed out two instruments that were connected by a dense network of wires. Each instrument had two metal chairs, and on the metal chairs were two metallic helmets. The helmets were also connected by several wires to the two instruments.
"This is the same neural connection device as the Pirate mecha. However, everyone, please be at ease. This is just a simplified version of the neural connection device that we've modified. Even if you have a reaction like 'Chasing a Rabbit' or 'Shameful Reflex' during synaesthesia, this neural connection device will not cause any damage to your brain. Now, according to the order you've lined up, from left to right, come up two by two for the test! " Pendicus first introduced the two machines that had been pushed up to the stage, and he specifically explained the safety of the devices so that the test takers could feel at ease.
After two months of study, Ye Xuan could be considered to have gained a better understanding of this world's Pirate Gull Mech. Just like the two reactions that Pendicos had mentioned to Wanderers, "Chasing Bunnies" and "Shameful Reflex", that were commonly encountered after using Synesthesia.
The term 'Chasing a Rabbit' originated from a fairy tale, 'Alice in Wonderland'. The original story referred to the main character of the fairy tale, Alice, who fell into a wonderland in order to chase a rabbit. In this world, it referred to the moment when the'd * mn ft 'system was activated. The two rangers would have to act as if their minds were blank, and the AI transmission buffer would capture the brainwaves of the two and link them together. If one of them were to let their imagination run wild during this time, the frequency of their brainwaves would change. As a result, the intelligent transmission buffer would not be able to complete its capture. The fusion of the brain pulses of the two people would cause them to fall into that person's' dream ', causing the synchronization to fail and the mecha to lose control. There was such an example in the original movie. When the protagonist Raleigh and Mori Mako were synchronized, Mori Mako fell into a dangerous situation of "chasing a rabbit." In the end, if Cai Tiantong hadn't unplugged the power supply, the dangerous wanderer would have almost lost control.
The so-called "Shameful Reflex" referred to the moment when the synchronization went out of control. However, he could slightly diverge his thoughts, which meant that he could think of things in his mind. However, a person had a lot of things, such as going on a date with a beauty last night, or rolling in the sheets with two beauties. These were things that he definitely didn't want others to know. However, the "d * mn ft" system allowed both parties to enter their own brains. Sometimes, this kind of thing could not be avoided if the other party found out. It would be very awkward and cause a delay in processing information. It could also cause the mecha to lose control.
These were all fatal dangers when piloting the Pirate Gull mecha. Pendicos's explanation was actually to calm the uneasy hearts of these test subjects, hoping that they would perform well.
After hearing Pendicos's words. Sure enough, these people who were originally worried immediately calmed down. Soon after, the two people standing in front looked at each other, smiled, and confidently walked forward.
"Report your names, soldiers!" Pendicos said expressionlessly as he looked at the two people walking forward.
"Reporting, sir. My name is Grant Walker!"
"Reporting, sir. My name is Gray Warren! "
"Good. Grant, Gray, the two of you sit on those chairs, put on those helmets, and don't move. Try not to think about anything in your head. Leave the rest to us," Pendicos said as he looked at the two of them.
"Yes, sir!" Grant and Gray both shouted. Soon after, they walked over to the chairs, picked up the helmets on the seats, and sat down.
"Let's begin!" Seeing that the two of them were seated, Pendicos stood at the side and gave out orders. Soon, the staff at the side got busy and started pressing a button.
Hum!!!
As soon as the button was pressed, Grant and Gray, who were originally sitting on the chairs, immediately closed their eyes at the same time. Everyone present subconsciously held their breath as they looked at the two people sitting on the chairs. Apart from the low vibrations of the machine, there was nothing else.
Beep Beep! Beep Beep!
Suddenly, a red warning light on the machine lit up, and a brief alarm sounded from the center of the machine. Gray, who was originally sitting on the chair with a calm expression, suddenly had a sinister look on his face, as if he was having a nightmare.
"Sir, Gray Warren has lost control. The compatibility between the two is less than 60%," a staff member reported to Pendicos after checking the machine.
"Disconnect!" Pendicos ordered expressionlessly.
Upon receiving Pendicos's order, the staff member quickly disconnected the machine. The sinister look on Gray's face finally disappeared, and he gasped for breath like a drowning man.
"Grant Walker, Gray Warren, fail!" Pendicos said in an ice-cold tone.
"No, General, this is a mistake. Please give us another chance, I beg you! We promise that we will absolutely not make the same mistake again. " Upon hearing Pendicos's announcement, Gray and Grant's faces paled, and they hurriedly begged Pendicos.
"The price of a mistake on the battlefield is your life, soldier!" Pendicos coldly looked at the pleading Gray and Grant, and his ice-cold gaze swept across everyone present. He warned, "Moreover, as rangers, the price of a mistake is not only your own life, but also the lives of millions of ordinary civilians that you need to protect."
Hearing Pendicos' warning, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts, a sense of mission emerging in their hearts. Gray and Grant both lowered their heads, no longer begging, and walked away with dejected looks on their faces.
"Next pair!" Without looking at Gray and Grant, Pendicos's heart seemed to be as hard as steel as he continued to host the next test.
The test wasn't complicated. It only required the two partners to sit on a chair, and the rest would be left to the staff member operating the machine.
Very quickly, in less than 30 minutes, the 36 pairs, a total of 18 pairs, had completed the test. However, out of the 18 pairs, only 7 pairs had reached the 90% compatibility standard.
These seven pairs were respectively the Quake brothers from Australia, the Hardy father and son from Mexico, Brian George and Carl Owen from England, the husband and wife Hank and Sophia from France, Zhu Yuan and Zheng Dong from China, the Hall brothers from Canada, Grace Adams and Cronin Leslie from the United States, the Eugene brothers from Germany, and Fowler, Gerald and Martin Clive from Russia.
After the test was over, Pendicos read out the name list and said, "Apart from the qualified matches, all those who have been eliminated must leave this room!"
Upon hearing Pendicos's order, all those who had been eliminated could only dejectedly walk out of the room. However, there was still one person who remained. He was Ye Xuan, who had been standing alone from start to finish and hadn't taken the test.
"Hey, kid, haven't you listened to General Pendicos's orders? Hurry up and scram!" Brian, who had a grudge with Ye Xuan, couldn't help but sneer arrogantly when he saw that Ye Xuan was still standing there.
"That's right, so what if you're the champion? Without anyone to partner up with, do you think you can pilot a mecha by yourself?" There was no lack of people in this world who would kick someone when they were down. The American competitor Grace Adams also said disdainfully.
"Who said that a single person can't pilot a mecha?" A voice suddenly came from above.
"Haha, a single person can pilot a mecha? Which f * cking idiot made up this story? "Brian laughed loudly with a face full of ridicule.
Suddenly, Brian saw that the people around him were looking at him as if he was an idiot. The smile on his face froze and he turned his head. His pupils shrank and he had a bitter expression on his face. "Pen- General Pendicos …"
