"The first item is the strength test!"

An instructor stood on the high platform and shouted angrily, "Everyone is divided into five lines and lined up. This time we specially mobilized five strength testing machines from the headquarters' scientific research institute to conduct the test at the same time!"

All the recruits subconsciously glanced to the right of the high platform.

There, there were five instructors standing with their hands behind their hands, and behind them, there were five huge machines that were completely black and lined up side by side.

They are all familiar with this kind of machine, and they have to deal with it every time they conduct daily monthly assessments.

When they were still new recruits, it was already quite good to be able to hit figures above five hundred. But now that times have changed and they are about to graduate, they can hit an average of at least a thousand or more.

The best among them can even hit more than 1,500, but they are still far from the upper limit that the machine can measure.

The main reason is that a few months ago, for some unknown reason, the headquarters' scientific research institute specially allocated manpower and made great efforts to upgrade and maintain this machine, raising the original upper limit of more than two thousand to about four thousand.

It has doubled.

This makes many prospective graduates puzzled.

——Why are you wasting this energy for no reason? Are you worried that recruits like them who have not graduated will break the machine?

It is simply unfounded worry and makes me feel so idle.

At the forefront of the five teams, standing in the middle was a young man with long red hair wearing a half-mask, with a strong build and kinked muscles.

"I'll go first."

He bumped his fist confidently, grinned and said, "It's so early in the morning, I just think it's to give you a good start and lift your spirits!"

"Haha, come on, Bastiu!"

"You are the best guy in our class, that's how you should be!"

"Show some momentum like first place!"

The elite sailors behind him started clamoring, expecting Bastiu to work harder and perform extraordinarily well.

——There is no hope of surpassing the monster named Nuo Xia, but they can’t be suppressed too badly and lose their face this time, right?

"Hey, don't worry!"

Like a red-haired ghost, Bastiu stared at the machine in front of him. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly poured all his strength into it and punched it!

Boom!

The huge black machine trembled slightly, and amid the dull sound, a rather gorgeous number popped up on the display screen above the scale.

"2021! Bastiu, S+ gear, strength individual event, perfect evaluation!"

The instructor in front of this machine glanced at the screen, and while recording and writing, he said in a deep voice, "Very good! Bastiu, there is improvement compared to the previous times!"

"We must work hard to maintain the remaining assessment items and keep working hard!"

"No problem, instructor!"

Bastiu laughed heartily and was obviously very satisfied with his performance. Amid everyone's envious and amazed eyes, he turned around and walked back.

When he passed by Nuo Xia, he slowed down and glanced at the latter intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of his eye.

——My performance this time is excellent enough. It is also a monster level among the graduates in recent years. And how far ahead can the other party be ahead of me?

Nuo Xia sensed his gaze, turned her face sideways, and smiled kindly at him.

"..." Bastiu was stunned for a moment, and felt his heartbeat accelerate rapidly. He hurriedly lowered his head, silently speeded up, and returned to the back of the team.

This person looks quite fierce, why do he suddenly act coy like a little girl?

Nuo Xia looked away speechlessly. He didn't use the toothy smile skill. Who would have thought that this guy would react so strongly? Can't you blame him?

In front of the team, the strength test continues.

With Bastiu making a good start, the sailors who took their turn later seemed to have been injected with a boost of strength, and their overall performance was quite good, exceeding their usual level.

There are many people who have scored more than 1,500, and there are also several people who have scored close to 2,000. The instructors responsible for teaching this graduates frequently nodded with satisfaction, and their hearts blossomed with joy...

Soon, it was Noxia's turn.

He is standing in the line on the far right, which is relatively far away.

But when he came to the machine, even if his view was blocked, all the sailors temporarily stopped what they were doing and stood on tiptoe to cast a glance.

I want to see with my own eyes what kind of terrifying numbers this recruit, who can be called the number one monster in the history of the elite battalion, can produce.

However.

It's a pity that some people don't give them this opportunity.

Because the instructor in charge of the machine on the far right happens to be an acquaintance of Nuo Xia.

"..."

Brandon, who had a grass-green cockscomb head, raised his eyes and looked at Nosha at his feet.

Seeing the latter gearing up and eager to try, the corners of his eyes twitched. He finally couldn't hold it back. The moment Nuo Xia was about to punch, he suddenly took a step forward and shouted loudly:

"stop!"

Click.

Nuo Xia, who was ready to go, staggered forward and almost fell to the ground. He rubbed his twisted waist and raised his head dissatisfied:

"What are you doing, Mr. Brandon, can you not suddenly stop at this time? It will hurt your waist if you twist it!"

Several instructors nearby also stopped recording and cast doubtful glances at Brandon.

Look, what am I doing? Am I not doing this to protect the machine and reduce losses?

Do you know why the headquarters’ scientific research institute suddenly maintained and upgraded the test machine a few months ago?

"Well..." Brandon's heart ached, but he still tried his best to keep calm on his face. He coughed and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to take the test. I will just mark you with the highest rating."

As soon as these words came out, the open space below instantly went into uproar.

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

"Mr. Brandon, how could you do this? This is Chi Guoguo's shady story... Oh, it's not a shady story, but it also violates the assessment rules!"

"Yeah, even if this guy can really get the highest rating, we still have to see what the specific number is, right?"

"That's right! Everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. My neck is sore from waiting. How can I just let him jump over it!"

Listening to the voice behind her ears, Nuo Xia looked up at Brandon, shrugged helplessly and said: "Look, everyone is waiting for me to take action. What should I say now, instructor?"

"I still think it's not necessary!"

Brandon ignored the dissatisfaction and opposition below and stood in front of the machine, refusing to give in. "If you question fairness, you can complain to Mr. Zefa. I believe he will maintain the same opinion as me..."

"Don't say that, Mr. Brandon."

A voice suddenly came from the high platform behind him, but it was the two major generals sent by the headquarters to supervise the situation who spoke.

Major General Dalmecia, wearing a black and white spotted dog hat, lit a cigar and said with a smile:

"No one questions your character, they just want to see how terrifying this guy Nuo Xia's power is..."

"Yes, you'd better get out of the way." Dauberman said calmly, "This is what everyone wants, why bother to ruin everyone's interest."

"To put it lightly, I borrowed these machines from the scientific research institute of our headquarters." Brandon crossed his arms and snorted, "You two are just watching the fun and don't take it too seriously. If the machine breaks down, will you two pay for it?"

"What kind of thing is this?" Dalmesia was slightly startled at first, but then agreed without hesitation, "Just pay, no problem!"

"..." Dauberman glanced at Nuoxia and hesitated for a moment, but in the end he chose to believe in the quality of the machines at the headquarters' scientific research institute and nodded slightly, "I have no objection either."

A naive young general.

Brandon let out a melancholy sigh from someone who has experienced it. He was so naive back then - Speaking of which, it seems that the cost of this upgraded test machine is even more exaggerated. One machine costs nearly 100 million Baileys?

"In this case……"

He glanced at the two major generals sympathetically, took a step back, got out of the way of the machine, and lowered his voice to Nuo Xia:

"Then I won't stop you. You can control your strength and hit it as hard as you can... Do you understand?"
