5. Knocking, banging, hitting the wall with a hammer

the second day.

In the testing building of the Empire's highest military academy, Jiang Ling and the system stood in front of the cube black box, looking at each other.

We are currently conducting a mental power control test. Jiang Ling saw female insects taking turns entering the black box, and after 10 minutes, she walked out with a face as pale as earth and sweat all over her head.

Is it still possible to start practicing mental power control now? "Jiang Ling asked dryly.

Is it still possible to switch hosts now? "The system replied firmly.

The format of this test is similar to playing groundhog or music games. The tester enters a 3-meter-long cube black box, and randomly lights up red on all six sides of the black box. The tester needs to manipulate their mental power to hit the red dot, requiring that the force of the mental power strike must exceed a certain value to be considered effective. The test progresses from simple to difficult, with only one or two red dots appearing at a time at the beginning, and possibly dozens of red dots lighting up at the same time in the end. The test lasts for 10 minutes, and the number of effective hits by the tester is counted to determine the score.

It's your turn, host

Jiang Ling walked heavily into the black box, as if rushing to the execution ground.

System, do you think if other female insects see me miss a red dot and realize that I'm a vegetable chicken, then my 250 reputation points are enough to deduct

However, Jiang Ling soon realized that he did not need to have such concerns.

When a single red light is lit up, the spiritual power flows naturally without his manipulation, smoothly hitting the correct position.

When several red dots light up at the same time, Jiang Ling doesn't know how to separate her mental power, so she simply pours out, and the rainstorm hits the box wall like a pear blossom.

Wherever it lights up and hits, the system no longer has to worry about my reputation.

Just like this, Jiang Ling smashed fiercely for seven minutes, feeling a little tired, but also figured out a way to control his mental power.

Just like Xiaolongnu drawing circles and squares with one hand and the other hand, dispersing spiritual power requires a versatile mind, while making spiritual power your eyes, tentacles, and extension of your body.

So, since you understand, host, why are you still banging on the wall

Ideas are one thing, practice is another. Hey

——

In the teaching management office of the highest military academy of the empire, school leaders, teachers, and some senior officers of the empire are currently facing thirty screens watching videos of new students engaging in unarmed combat. They all have sharp eyes and rich experience, able to accurately analyze students' strengths and weaknesses.

Compared to the previous academic year, there has been significant improvement in the physical fitness and on-the-spot reactions of the beetle. However, unfortunately, he encountered Ulysses this time. Ulysses was adept at handling the mentality of beetle and had superb combat skills. Watching him fight was like watching a performance, and he truly lived up to his reputation as the top female beetle of his generation

The rotation technique has become more mature and flexible, allowing one to fully utilize their strengths

Elijah still hasn't changed his reckless personality, he will definitely lose this game

...

Hey, who is this? "The face of a strange female insect appeared on the screen in the lower left corner, and he was fighting against the" Titan "Bao Li, who was highly anticipated by the fighting teachers.

Although the two insects are not of the same size, they are evenly matched in their attacks.

The teacher in charge of the archives called out his information from Optical Brain and read: "Jiang Ling, whose birthplace, race and graduation school were unknown, was invited to enter after Optical Brain retrieved them from the big data of citizens in the underground city."

Why was he invited by the optical brain without any information

Perhaps it's because his differentiation level is extremely high. The surveillance shows that he had a pheromone standoff with Ulysses yesterday, and the two insects were evenly matched

Besides Ulysses, is there another S-grade female insect among this class of students? "The academic affairs teacher was shocked.

On the screen, the black haired female insect attacks the fatal spot of Bao Li with fierce and sharp movements. When the situation was deadlocked, he used his own life as bait, at the cost of a broken left arm, to induce the opponent to relax their defense and successfully defeated Bao Li.

This female insect has a great sense of the big picture. She understands her strengths and weaknesses, and from the beginning of the battle, she has figured out how to win. Moreover, she has sharp tactics and flexible and versatile tactics, making her a rare combat talent, "commented the president of the highest military academy in the empire.

Although Bao Li has a strong physique and rich experience, he has never encountered such opponents and lacks adaptability. He still needs experience

But we can't find the specific identity information of this female insect, and he comes from the underground city of the Pixiang Rat Roar! "A military officer questioned.

The principal spoke loudly, 'Heroes don't ask about their origins. General Gundra also came from a marginal star, but he was a pillar of the resistance against the rebels back then.'.

Our academy cultivates soldiers who can fight against rebels, starthieves, and foreign tribes, not just machines that have received uniform training. In recent years, the rebels have resurged and are eager to move, encroaching on the border. It's time to put a catfish among these students who haven't experienced the battlefield of life and death, to stimulate their sense of crisis

After completing the mental power control test, the mechanical assembly test is carried out.

All insects stand in front of their respective independent workstations, and each insect is displayed with different mechanical drawings by the optical brain, including but not limited to weapons, armor, power sources, etc. They were asked to assemble the equipment shown on the blueprint within three minutes, and the computer scored them based on their level of completion.

The exam question assigned to Jiangling is' Light Shield '. This is a portable armor with a built-in energy pool. When turned on, it can instantly release a circular energy shield with a radius of about one meter to resist external attacks. However, once the energy pool is depleted, the light shield will disappear.

Jiang Ling handled not only tens of thousands but also thousands of light shields in his previous life. He flipped his fingers and quickly assembled it, even removing a redundant part, resulting in less energy consumption per second when the light shield was released.

After finishing the competition, Jiang Ling had nothing to do. He leaned his hand on his face and lazily looked around the examination room, meeting Ulysses' gaze from afar. The two of them turned their heads to avoid each other.

It was completed quite quickly, "Jiang Ling thought to herself,"... and he looks like a bug and a dog

The light shield assembled by Jiangling encountered problems during the testing and acceptance process. The optical brain placed in front of the console emits radiation and scans the light shield, but it is unable to provide results for a long time.

The invigilator noticed the abnormality here and picked up the walkie talkie to report to the higher-level teaching management office.

After a period of time, "Classmate, please release the light shield and hold it for 30 seconds. We will test its energy consumption." A voice came from the optical brain.

Jiang Ling turned on the switch as instructed, and a smooth white light instantly appeared indoors. The optical brain monitored various data of the light shield in detail and obtained the result that the light shield modified by Jiangling consumes less energy and has a more stable energy supply when released.

In the teaching management office, the mechanical teacher exclaimed excitedly, "This female insect is simply a genius. She creatively improved the structure of the light shield with her own efforts

He should get full marks in this mechanical assembly test, and even he can skip some courses

But the exam requirement is to assemble according to the drawings, and if he doesn't follow the exam requirement, he should be deducted points, "the director of the discipline department complained.

The purpose of the exam is to test students' abilities. Jiang Ling can improve the drawings and enhance the performance of the light shield, which proves that he has sufficient ability! "The mechanical teacher argued with reason.

Rules are rules. Rules serve people, and different situations require different treatment

...

The two insects argued incessantly, making their faces red and their necks thick.

Jiang Ling knew nothing about the dispute in the office, and he felt that improving the structure of the light shield was just a casual matter and insignificant.

Give him full marks, "said a tall and imposing military woman at the top of the conference table, her body full of killing intent," as a reward for him improving weapons for the empire

Since Lu Zhongjiang has made such a statement, others naturally have no further objections.

The system suddenly spoke out unexpectedly: "Received approval from the division commander, reputation value+30

Jiang Ling was puzzled but grateful. Thank you, the pie that fell from the sky.

As soon as the three tests are completed, the total score will be announced:

Ulysses ranks first with a perfect score of 90; Bai Conghuai, second place, 86.4 points; Abel Zachary, third place, 84.2 points; Jiang Ling, 84.0 points, fourth place... Class Zimo, fifteenth place, 76.7 points... Bao Li, fifty sixth place, 68.1 points

Successfully admitted to the highest military academy in the empire, with a reputation value of+50

Ranked fourth among testers with a reputation value of+30

In fact, this ranking has a certain degree of randomness. For example, Lei Zimo, whose three abilities may not be worse than those ranked ahead of him, unfortunately encountered Ulysses and lost a battle, so his ranking dropped significantly. But overall, the admission test is still rigorous and fair, able to select 600 more outstanding female insects from the best group in the empire. The insects who entered the top 600 were beaming with joy, cheering loudly. Those who were not admitted had a sad expression and walked away with heavy steps.

When Jiang Ling walked out of the testing building, it was already dark and street lights had lit up in the college. Ulysses was waiting by the flower bed at the entrance of the testing building, with the light shining on his angular profile, revealing his superior eyebrows and straight nose bridge. His rose colored eyes looked up at the night sky, with an inexplicably lonely expression.

Seeing Jiang Ling appear, he walked over with long legs and stood in front of him, smiling lightly and asking, "Sir, perhaps I am fortunate enough to have your terminal number

Host, did Ulysses ask for your terminal number to facilitate seeking revenge on you?

After all, you interrupted his pheromone pressure on other female insects and saw him in a state of embarrassment when he was in heat

I don't rule out the possibility, "Jiang Ling replied to the system in her mind.

Sorry, "Jiang Ling said to Ulysses," my terminal has been lost recently

Ulysses raised an eyebrow and did not expose the obvious refusal gesture as an excuse. 'Well, since you don't want to, then don't disturb me,' he said

Jiang Ling watched as Ulysses turned around and boarded the silver white aircraft, which looked very expensive, and secretly felt heartbroken while holding on to his face.

I won't tell you, I haven't bought a terminal yet because I don't have money
