"My name is Wai Duo Mi. I will lead you to complete the 'Basic Fitness Test'," Wai Duo Mi said as he led Brother Jue forward.
"Okay," Feng Bujue replied.
"Before the test starts, I need to confirm something." Wai Duo Mi turned back to look at Brother Jue. "Is the equipment that you're currently wearing the standard equipment for a hero event?"
"You can say that," Feng Bujue replied.
"Hmm …" Wai Duo Mi continued. "To ensure that the data obtained during the test is not too different from your actual hero event, we normally recommend that you wear the equipment for the test. Of course, if you need it, you can change into something lighter. There's a changing room over there. "
"There's no need for that." Feng Bujue rejected the offer. "I don't need it."
Unless it was a special situation permitted by the system, the players were not allowed to change their clothes in the scenario. Therefore, Brother Jue did not need to worry about changing his clothes.
"Okay …" As they spoke, Wai Duo Mi led Brother Jue to the corner of the room and stood next to a circular machine. "Before we start, there are some other things that I need to confirm with you." He picked up the tablet in his hand and tapped it a few times. "According to the information fed back by the instrument when you passed the 'checkpoint,' your basic biological information is — young male Earthling, thermostatic mammal, can't tolerate vacuum environment, requires oxygen environment to maintain respiratory system, adapts to gravity about 2.3 times, bun …"
"Er …" Feng Bujue could not help but interrupt. "Excuse me … but what does' bumpy 'mean?"
"'Bumpy' is the universal unit of measurement for gravity. It was named after the great cosmic physicist, Professor Graviti Bumpy." Wai Duo Mi was very patient when he answered the question. He had to face all kinds of questions from aliens from different solar systems and races every day, so he was used to it. "Of the known high civilizations in the universe, most of them grew up in an environment with a gravity of 13 to 3 times bumpy, so we usually use this range as the standard range. Earthlings like you are considered a race with above average physical fitness in this standard range."
"Oh …" Feng Bujue listened to the other party's narration with great interest and nodded in response like a humble student. He was most interested in this kind of worldview setting. Even without the purpose of "collecting materials", he was very happy to learn this kind of thing.
"Alright, let me confirm it again …" Domi quickly brought the topic back on track. "Are there any serious deviations from what I just said? If you do, please raise it now to avoid injury during the test. "
Although the data fed back from the checkpoint was accurate 99% of the time, the staff would still repeatedly confirm these matters with the hero himself because there had indeed been incidents of "testing injuries."
"No problem," Feng Bujue replied. "I can start anytime."
"Then, now … please stand in the testing device." Domi raised his hand and gestured to the ring-shaped device beside him.
This machine looked like a large metal tire without a contour, or rather, it looked like a standing ring with a diameter of six meters.
After Feng Bujue stood in it, he noticed something strange. He immediately understood … Within the range of this "ring," there was a different gravity from the outside world.
"The first test will test your limit and average running speed under a standard buggy. The test time will be one universe hour (about five minutes). Please use your full strength at the beginning of the test and try not to slow down until the end so that we can measure the best peak and true stable average, "Domi said. "During the test, you can use auxiliary items or activate special abilities, but you are not allowed to use vehicles. In addition, please do not use flying or teleportation abilities. That is not part of the test scope of this project." After saying that, he walked to the console next to the machine. "If there are no objections, I'll start the device."
"Okay." After Feng Bujue said that, he was already in a running position.
Buzz —
The next second, a mechanical sound was heard, and an electronic voice followed. "The program has been activated. The speed testing ring is counting down. Five, four, three, two, one …"
Boom —
There was a shocking explosion, and there was a burst of red spirit light.
At the beginning of the test, Brother Jue used [Body Enhancement Spell — Modified] and sprinted with all his might.
During the test, the speed testing ring itself did not "rotate," and the user's position did not change. Once the person running in the ring started running, their feet would become a state of walking on air. It looked like they were running on an "air treadmill," but they would still feel "down to earth."
At that moment, looking from the outside of the machine, Feng Bujue's body was leaning forward and running wildly. The frequency at which his legs and hands moved had already created an afterimage in the eyes of most aliens with motion vision.
"Hmm?" Domi looked at the constantly soaring data on the console, and his expression changed slightly. "This …" It looked like Brother Jue's performance had greatly exceeded his expectations.
Even many heroes and staff members who were waiting nearby to do other tests were attracted by the Earthling in the corner.
"Hey, hey … is that really an Earthling?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe he's a hybrid between a human and an alien."
"Don't underestimate Earthlings. Although the probability is very low, some of them are mutants who can withstand the effects of chemicals or special radiation. Their physical fitness can reach the level of a galactic hero."
"Hmm … it's also possible that he's a speed-type hero."
"You're all thinking too much … That must be some galactic predecessor trying to break the test record!"
Just like that, Feng Bujue completed the first test amidst the discussion around him.
In the first minute, he used the Body Enhancement Spell, but after a minute, he stopped. After all, he was losing 1% of his Life Points every second. There was no need to put his life in danger for a test.
In the next four minutes, his running speed was not slow either. This was because the gravity of a standard bungee jump was relatively easy for humans. It was equivalent to reducing the weight of humans on Earth by more than half.
When Brother Jue came down from the speed testing ring, Domi's tone changed. "Oh! Poker Man, your performance is not bad. " He thought that he was a cold guy, but it turned out that he was a normal (alien). "If your results in other tests are also at this level, it's possible for you to be rated as a planetary … no, it's possible for you to be rated as a galactic hero."
"Haha … I hope so," Feng Bujue replied with a smile.
To be honest, Brother Jue really hoped that he could be ranked as a galactic hero. Otherwise, he would not have waited until level 50 to return to this mode. For the time being, he did not insist on a god-like existence like the "Universe level," but if he wanted to have higher authority and freedom and be able to participate in more events … the higher the hero level, the better.
"Hmm, then …" Domi continued. "Please follow me. The second test is over here."
…
In the next one and a half hours, Feng Bujue, accompanied by Domi, completed all the tests of the 'Basic Fitness Test'.
Although there were quite a lot of tests, tests such as the 'Jumping Strength Test,' 'Physical Damage Test,' and 'Weightlifting Test' were all completed in less than a minute. As for the 'Reaction Strength Test,' 'Pressure Test,' and 'Air Movement Test' … they only took a few minutes.
In addition, there was almost no rest time between each test, and he was not allowed to take things like 'nutrient fluids' to replenish his physical strength. This was because at the end of the test, the computer would evaluate 'endurance' and 'resilience' based on the hero's physical strength decline in each test. If supplements were used, the data obtained would not be accurate.
To make a long story short, after Brother Jue played around with all the equipment in the stadium, he had used up more than half of his physical strength. However, the 'Hero Level Test' … was far from over.
Next, he had to face the 'written test.'
"Follow this path. When you reach the venue for the written test, the worker there will continue to guide you." After Duo Mi led Feng Bujue to the exit of the physical test field, he pointed the way for him.
"Okay," Feng Bujue said.
"Good luck." Domi waved at Brother Jue.
"Well, thank you for your kind words." Brother Jue said a few polite words to the other party, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
The written test venue was not far from here. The connecting passage was only about twenty meters long, but there was an additional layer of force field in the passage. When Feng Bujue passed through the force field, he knew that this layer was used for 'soundproofing.'
Waiting for Brother Jue was a staff member who looked like a cactus. She was about 1.5 meters tall, and her facial features were very 'cartoonish.' Her whole body was green, thorny, and she had a bucket-like figure. She had three hands (probably hands), and the lower half of her body was connected to a mechanical flower pot with a suspension device.
Although he could not see any of the sexual characteristics of an Earthling (breasts, hair, voice, etc.), Feng Bujue judged from the style of her uniform (which was undoubtedly a skirt) that she was a female alien.
"Poker Man?" she asked when she saw Brother Jue.
"That's me," Feng Bujue replied.
"Your seat is 213. Go forward and turn left at the 21st row." The staff member did not even bother to say her name. She directly said in a commanding tone, "Take your seat. Once you're seated, you can start answering the questions."
"Uh …" Feng Bujue did not leave immediately. He still wanted to ask some details about the questions, such as the time, the type of questions, the grading criteria, and so on.
However …
"What do you mean by 'uh'? Hurry up and go inside, "the staff member said quickly.
"I just …" Feng Bujue said.
But the staff member interrupted him again. "Okay, you don't have to say anymore. I won't go out with you. Don't say things like 'I think I've seen you somewhere before' or 'give me a chance.'" She rattled off, "I already have a boyfriend. Even if I don't, you're not my cup of tea. You can say that I'm shallow, but I like handsome men. Although you're not bad, you're far from my boyfriend. And I like men who are more mature … I'm annoyed to be harassed by a brat like you every day. Hurry up and leave! "
Brother Jue heard this and stood in place for a few seconds. He came to the conclusion that he could not communicate with her normally. He could only give up and walk into the venue silently …
The layout of the written test venue was like a Go board. In the square compartments separated by thin walls, the superheroes of different appearances and clothes were all sitting obediently in front of the metal table, writing at a rapid pace …
Feng Bujue quickly found his seat 213. After he sat down, he looked down at the metal table in front of him.
The surface of the table was an interactive electronic display screen, and words would appear on it. On the right side of the table, there was a small storage box that could be opened with a touch. The storage box contained several metal rods of different lengths and diameters. Based on the shape … they should be pens.
"Hmm … I actually have to write by hand?" Brother Jue looked at the [Instructions for the Written Test] on the table and took out a pen suitable for him from the box.
There were three main reasons why Yu Chaolian used this written test format. First, the keyboard input method and operating system of each planet were different. Second, the races of the heroes, their relative intelligence, and their cultural level were uneven. Third, most of Yu Chaolian's written test questions were very strange.
Combining the above three points … Using a "pen" to answer the questions was undoubtedly the best way.
[If you are unable to read the "Instructions for the Written Test", please click on the icon in the lower right corner of the table and enter the voice and graphics mode.] A few seconds after Feng Bujue sat down, the metal table in front of him issued this voice prompt.
The supercomputer in Yu Chaolian's testing area had already known that Brother Jue was a creature with vision and hearing, and that he did not have any disabilities based on the data that he had obtained when he passed the "checkpoint." However, the system could not confirm whether he was illiterate, so it issued this prompt.
"Quite meticulous …" Feng Bujue muttered. He ignored the voice prompt and continued to read the instructions for the written test.
After reading the entire content, Brother Jue's eyebrows relaxed slightly. He smiled and said, "Ha … This is quite a novel format."
Yu Chaolian's written test did not have the feel of a school exam at all. Instead, it was more like a variety show. The computer would randomly generate questions based on the race and civilization of the tester, and the questions would be given in a step-by-step manner. Each "step" had seven questions. As long as you answered five questions correctly, you would be able to move on to the next step, and the difficulty of the questions would increase accordingly.
The written test would end when the hero could not answer any more questions.
As for the content of the questions, at the beginning, it was usually … general knowledge questions, intelligence tests, natural science (of the hero's home planet), simple concepts of good and evil, basic mathematics, and so on. After the third to fourth steps, which was around thirty questions, there would be questions about middle-level knowledge reserves, logical analysis, academic inclination, more complicated concepts of good and evil, and middle-level mathematics. After the fifth to sixth steps, there would gradually be questions about unpopular knowledge reserves, cosmic physics, advanced mathematics, in-depth discussion of law and morality, case reasoning, and even tactical formulation in simulation scenarios that were very difficult to answer …
At this stage, if one could still persevere, the computer would begin to make things difficult for the hero. It would give questions that could only be answered by people in specialized fields. Furthermore, it would be a mix of questions … For example, the geological situation of a certain planet, the profound theory of cosmic physics, the superiority of certain electronic devices compared to similar products, the analysis of their cultural emotions from the perspective of Planet Shrugger's psychology, and so on … Questions that required researchers in various fields to answer were all answered by one person.
Although this was not impossible, the difficulty was undoubtedly astonishing. As the researcher and first batch of testers for this "written test," Toad Hero Enway Slubb and Tinfoil Hero Ketas Nitto were the only two people who had finished answering a total of 168 questions in all twenty-four stages.
According to internal statistics that were not made public, the average result of the Yu Chaolian heroes participating in this test was … fourth step. In other words, most superheroes failed at the twenty-second to twenty-eighth step … They had not reached the "middle-level" level of the question bank.
"OK …" Feng Bujue finished reading the instructions and moved his arms a few times. "I want to see how difficult this written test can be …"
