197 Free Mecha (Part 2)

Out of these 400 people, normally, there would be a few lucky ones who could reach C-level, and there would be no B-level.

In the inner city, the probability of a C-level aptitude appearing was more than 50%, a B-level aptitude was more than 10%, and A-level was 2%. Only S-level was very rare, and there was not even one in more than ten years.

This was the cruel reality.

Seeing the crowd discussing, the few student recruitment teachers on duty couldn’t help but start yawning.

In the eyes of these teachers, the qualification test in the outer city was just a formality.

In the early years, there were still some geniuses in the outer city, but in recent years, the situation in the outer city had been deteriorating, and there were fewer and fewer talented young people.

Section Chief Zhao Wang was a practitioner of the Republic concept and believed in equality. He couldn’t help but remind the teachers when he saw their nonchalant looks.

“Teachers, please pay attention. Although the test results of the young people in the outer city are not good, these people’s talents are genuine. They don’t take any drugs or have the assistance of technology.

“Once they enter the academy, they will have resources and go through scientific training. They will often improve very quickly.”

Zhao Wang was right. This was the only advantage of the outer city.

The talent in the outer city was the real talent. Once they entered formal learning and training, their progress was indeed very fast.

People in the outer city were more talented and cultivated faster. There had been stories of counterattacks by young people in the outer city.

One of the teachers couldn’t help but mock, “Section Chief Zhao, the people in the outer city improve very fast, but that’s because they have a low starting point and have a lot of room for improvement.

“You’re not the only one who has faith in this world. You gave up your position as the leader of the inner city and came to the outer city to help the civilians.

“As student recruitment teachers, we still have the basic qualities. Student recruitment is our job, and we will not make any mistakes.”

The teacher who spoke was called Quest. He had a head of golden hair, long, narrow green eyes, and thin lips. He looked very mean.

Quest had a haughty expression on his face, as if he was superior to everyone else, but no one dared to say anything.

It was because golden hair was the symbol of the Hilda family.

In Sword Shield City, the Hilda family’s influence was everywhere. Although Quest was only a collateral descendant of the Hilda family and had no future, he had been arranged by the family to be a recruitment teacher at the Sword Shield City Academy.

However, just the identity of a collateral bloodline was enough to scare off many people.

Zhao Wang did not respond to Quest’s words. It was not that he was afraid of him, but what Quest said made sense.

Among the children in the outer city, only a few with extraordinary talents could make it through and grow into true geniuses.

Most of the students in the outer city had never received a systematic education since they were young. They had poor knowledge of scientific theories and their bodies had not been trained. When they entered the Academy, they were basically marginalized.

No teacher liked to teach their students from scratch.

Zhao Wang patiently gave everyone 10 minutes to discuss.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Wang arrived in front of a metal door. After multiple iris scans and fingerprints, he was finally able to enter the room.

The heavy metal door slowly opened.

A bright silver, egg-shaped machine appeared in front of everyone.

There was a door in front of the machine. Above the door was a high-definition electronic screen.

Zhao Wang stood in front of the door with a serious expression and read aloud.

“No. 1, Cai Tongren, begin the test!”

The first one to be tested was the chubby man who had bragged about eating nutrition for a month, Cai Tongren.

He walked into the testing machine expectantly, and the people around him were very optimistic about him.

“Cai Tongren’s family is quite well-off, and she’s been taking supplements for a month. He’ll definitely have a C-level aptitude, and maybe even a B-level!

“Yeah, he’ll be fine. We’re all different people. My dad went on an expedition last month. Not only did he not get any food, but he was also bitten in the arm by a radioactive creature. He had to pay a lot of money for treatment.”

Ning Shi, however, was not as optimistic as everyone else. He had just used the Eye of Truth to investigate.

Cai Tongren’s Spiritual Power was only 9 points, which was not high among the people around him.

The overall quality of the people of the Titanium Pole World was much stronger than that of the people of Saturn.

Ning Shi checked a few people. Everyone’s Spiritual Power was around 9 or 10 points.

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, a line of words appeared on the high-definition screen above the door of the egg-shaped machine.

“Cai Tongren, test results: D-level.”

Cai Tongren’s aptitude was only D-level. The entire place was silent. The people who had originally held high hopes were now cruelly hit by reality.

Everyone admitted that they were not as qualified as Cai Tongren. If even Cai Tongren had been eliminated, it would be even more difficult for the others.

Seeing everyone’s dejected expression, Zhao Wang’s eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. There were fewer and fewer geniuses among the commoners. How would the commoners fight against the nobles in the future? When would the Republic’s belief be truly realized?

He gathered his thoughts and continued to read, not caring about how dispirited Cai Tongren was when he walked out of the testing machine.

“Next, number 002, Dai Ergou.”

…

After 51 people were tested, all of them were D-level aptitudes. Everyone’s eyes were dull.

Finally, on the 52nd person, a C-level aptitude student appeared and was recruited by the Sword Shield City Academy’s recruitment teacher, Quest.

This seemed to be a positive signal. Among the next dozen or so people, there were three more C-level aptitudes.

When it came to No. 66, the test result was actually a B-level aptitude, causing a small commotion at the scene. A few recruitment teachers fought over him for a while and he was finally accepted into the Southern Academy.
