Astral Apostle

   Chapter 234 Investigation and Optimism

   "Old He, don't ask too much, it's good to have new people."

   A captain next to him shrugged.

The rough man smacked his lips, looked at the students, and introduced himself with his hips on his hips: "You guys, remember, my name is He Zhifei, a fourth-level power user, sergeant major rank, I have served many times, and I am a senior captain. ."

  Begins with him, and many captains have introduced themselves, basically all third- and fourth-level power users.

He Zhifei had a stern look and shouted: "I have read your files, and to be honest, there is almost nothing outstanding, I am very disappointed! If you want me to grade, you are all unqualified! The current college students are really worse than the previous one! "

   Zhou Jing secretly pouted.

   It sounds like "You guys are the worst class I've ever had", and it must have been a deliberate attempt to give them a bad rap.

  Shen Xinqin smiled and said: "Okay, don't scare people, there are basically freshmen here, what kind of powerful people can there be? Since you have all come to investigate, you must be interested in them."

   "That is, today's young people are all smart, and your old style is outdated."

   A captain named Huang Zhuo said with a smile.

   This man has a pair of squinting eyes that look like two slits.

   He Zhifei snorted and said nothing.

  Huang Zhuo looked at the crowd and said with a smile:

"Let's not waste time. Today we come to inspect you to select new recruits for your respective teams. Now you are still in school, of course it will not be of use. We are looking at your potential, as long as you graduate to us We will invite you to join our team...as long as we are not killed in the line of duty."

   The students couldn't help looking at each other, not knowing how to respond.

   Shen Xinqin coughed and reminded:

"Joining a suitable team of explorers is an important thing for recruits. If they are picked up by a senior team and taken by someone, it will be easier for recruits to accumulate merits and promote faster. So before you graduate, if you can get Invitational commitments from one or more fixed teams that are of great benefit for the future.

   Moreover, not all senior teams have manpower gaps at all times. Since these captains are interested in you, they are your opportunities, and you better take them seriously. "

   Hearing this, a student asked curiously, "What would happen if I wasn't selected by the team?"

  Huang Zhuo took over the conversation and explained with a smile:

"If the recruits are not reserved by the team, they will either be assigned to the new sergeant major with other recruits who are unsuccessful, and form a temporary team. Only when they perform well can they be retained by the captain. Or they will be directly commanded by the other world stronghold and be the most basic executive officer. Responsible for some basic tasks that are unimportant but time-consuming and labor-intensive... Of course, it is more likely that you will be able to serve in the service for a long time after losing the election. If you repeatedly perform poorly, you will eventually be transferred to civilian or other positions."

   Zhou Jing raised his brows.

This form of    seems to be similar to the draft. As long as some explorer teams take a fancy to them, they will be followed and followed during school, and they will join the team directly after graduation, and the future will be smooth.

  If you lose the election, the road to promotion will be bumpy.

   However, it doesn't matter to him, as long as the assigned team is not too stretched, it is acceptable. Because no matter whether he joins the team or not, relying on his own uniqueness, he has the confidence to be promoted quickly - this is one of the reasons why he decided to take up the position of the Exploration Bureau.

   At this time, He Zhifei said impatiently, "Let's get straight to the topic, hurry up and finish the inspection, I hope this time is not a waste of time."

  Huang Zhuo nodded, his face became serious, and said:

   "We understand everyone's abilities and have read the files, but the actual situation needs to be witnessed, so today's inspection is divided into two parts, one is the actual combat, the other is the written test, come with us."

   The group followed the captains, walked for a while in the passage, and came to a spacious indoor training ground.

   A staff member was waiting here. After a few words with the captains, they pressed a few times on the console.

With a    click, the ground in the center of the training ground was cracked, revealing five hexagonal gaps, and five mechanical soldiers with different equipment rose from it.

"When explorers serve in another world, they often have to face complex environments and unknown enemies, so they need to be proficient in chaos with one enemy and many enemies... The actual combat investigation is very simple, try to hold on to the hands of five mechanical soldiers for a longer time, Or smash them and we'll see how you do."

   Huang Zhuo explained.

   Hearing this, all the students were eager to try.

   Soon a student was named to play, and he developed his ability to fight against five mechanical soldiers, but he soon fell into a hard fight.

   These five mechanical soldiers have high armor and defense, hard and beaten, and are equipped with different weapons and equipment and combat logic, with different styles. There are long-distance battles with firearms, close-range killings, and even AI pre-judging the opponent's position and using traps to control them. The combat effectiveness is not bad.

   For freshmen who have just entered school and have little experience, this team of mechanical soldiers is a formidable opponent.

   After a while, several students were defeated, and they persisted for as long as possible.

  It was Wu Fan's turn to play, but he persisted the longest. His imitation ability has a very high learning ability, but in the end he was exhausted due to insufficient destructive power.

   The captains seemed to be quite interested in his performance, and each took out a tablet to write and draw, recording something.

Soon after Lin Kun came on the field, his abilities were very destructive. After transforming into a little muscular giant, he beat the mechanical soldiers one by one. Although he was slightly injured, he was the only one who broke the mechanical soldiers. student.

   All the captains admired it, nodded and recorded it.

  Lin Kun solved his opponent and couldn't help but raised his chin at Zhou Jing, demonstrating to show off.

   Zhou Jing ignored him and went straight to the field to face five new mechanical soldiers.

   "Do you want a weapon?" the staff asked from a distance.

"no need."

   Zhou Jing waved his hand, but did not hold a knife, so he decided to fight the enemy with his bare hands and show it a little bit.

   The next moment, five mechanical soldiers activated and killed them.

   "Thumbs-"

   A series of specially made bullets lashed.

   Zhou Jing had already distinguished the ballistic trajectory, dodged lightly, and moved quickly and swiftly to meet a mechanical soldier who was close to him in the opposite direction.

brush!

   The uncut sword in the hands of the mechanical soldier slashed head-on.

   Zhou Jing turned his body slightly to one side, and then came first to get into the arms of the mechanical soldier, and let the sword cut through the air.

   At the same time, his hand was attached to the breastplate of the mechanical soldier, and he gave a shock.

   I saw his palm, suddenly bursting out with dazzling lightning arrogance.

  Zi La-Boom!

   The melee mechanical soldier collapsed and flew out, his breastplate was sunken, electric sparks splashed all over his body, and billowing black smoke came out, which was actually scrapped by one move.

  Since he inherited the power of the third-level elemental wizard that Bill transformed for free when he was eternalized, all the attributes of Zhou Jing's body have all climbed to the second-order level, which is very comprehensive, and various indicators have stood out among the freshmen.

  The energy attribute reaches 60+. He transforms the discharge of the alien blood warrior into martial arts arrogance, and the frontal destructive power is also outstanding. It is no longer the same as before, which can only be used to kill with rapid attacks.

   These mechanical soldiers are just tools for testing new students, and their combat power is not at the same level as him.

   In just over ten seconds, Zhou Jing walked through the field and scrapped all five mechanical soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. Not only was the efficiency higher than Lin Kun, but he was also unscathed.

   Seeing this, Lin Kun couldn't help but lose his face.

   Huang Zhuo's eyes lit up: "This kid is not bad, his fighting power is obviously a level higher than others."

   "Strange, he is much better than the records... Although he is a student, he seems to be progressing too fast." A captain next to him was surprised.

  The record in Zhou Jing's file is still the performance of the freshman game. And after he got Bill's ability transformation, because he did not participate in other activities, it has not been fully revealed, and the file has not been updated.

   Many captains were very interested in Zhou Jing, but they didn't come to chat at this time, and each made a record.

  Because of the small number of people, the actual combat inspection was completed quickly.

  The crowd came to an office again for a written test.

The format of the    written test is to complete a paper.

   Everyone didn't know what to test, and when they got the paper and saw the content, they were all surprised.

Huang Zhuo explained in a timely manner: "A qualified explorer needs to fully understand the target astral world before serving... Since you are both freshmen, you have basically only taken science courses in the first two months, so today's written test only examines the ones mentioned in the class. Astral data, that is, the planes that are about to meet, you can answer as much as you can."

   Hearing the words, the faces of many students turned bitter.

  Explorer's science course, introduced the situation of the astral world that is about to meet, but did not assign homework, and did not require memorization.

   Therefore, they all listened to it as a story, not paying attention to it, and they forgot about it after listening to it.

   Now they have to test these things... Why didn't they remind them in advance, they were not prepared!

   Unlike others, Zhou Jing has a subtle expression.

The content of the    exam paper is all kinds of questions related to the Great Xia Dynasty.

   I have lived there for more than a year, isn't this a shot at the gun...

   Zhou Jing couldn't help but feel a little worried.

   is not because he is afraid that he will not be able to answer, but because he is afraid that he will be dragged and questioned if he answers too carefully.

   There are not many questions, and it took everyone just over half an hour to write it.

   Each captain rolled up the papers, checked a personal answer, shook his head and sighed from time to time, looking helpless.

   "This is just a random answer. You must have forgotten it in class, right?"

   "Do you think this information has nothing to do with you for the time being, so you just listen to it as a pleasure? This is the information collected by the Exploration Bureau after spending countless manpower. Freshmen are freshmen, and their attitude is not correct."

   Listening to the criticism of the seniors, the students twitched and felt quite ashamed.

   At this time, when the captains saw Zhou Jing's papers, they were instantly refreshed.

"Yes, some people remember it, although there are some mistakes, but it's basically the same... See, you should all learn, even if there is no requirement in the class, you should take the information of each world seriously, this is what you want. manner!"

   Zhou Jing coughed and excused, "I'm just interested in another world, so I deliberately remembered a little..."

   Huang Zhuo praised: "Very good, you are curious, this is the awareness that a prospective explorer should have, and you can do this job well in the future."

   Zhou Jing's mouth twitched slightly, feeling strange in his heart.

   got the results of the investigation, and the captains also had a choice in their minds, and they all found their favorite targets.

  Some people were surrounded by a few captains, flattered, and there were students who were ignored and sat lonely.

  Wu Fan has high learning potential, and Lin Kun has powerful abilities and is very popular, but Zhou Jing is the most concerned about by the captain.

   He Zhifei came over, looked at Zhou Jing, and said solemnly:

"Among this group of newcomers, you are the only one who can barely get by, so I didn't waste my time. But you are still far from my standard. My team only accepts elites, and everyone has to come in handy. I have some requirements, you If it can be achieved, I will be eligible to join my team after graduation.”

   "Please speak." Zhou Jing responded patiently.

"First, your graduation GPA must be ranked at least in the top ten this year. Second, my team has no shortage of fighters, you can let go of the martial arts, don't practice hard, go and learn a skill first. Super power system, machinery, magic will do. Third..."

   He eloquently said six requirements, and wanted Zhou Jing to adjust his studies according to his needs.

   Zhou Jing listened with a smile on his face, he had already given up on this person in his heart, and did not intend to change his cultivation plan according to his request.

   He could see that this He Zhifei had a strong desire to control, and even dictated how he practiced. Most of his team members were regarded as tools.

   Aware of Zhou Jing's perfunctory, He Zhifei frowned, a little dissatisfied, and said, "Do you remember what I said?"

   "Remember, but your request is too much. I'm not your team member yet." Zhou Jing smiled.

  He Zhifei narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to teach him a lesson.

At this time, Huang Zhuo came over, interrupted the conversation between the two, and smiled at Zhou Jing: "You are very good, I will continue to pay attention to you, as long as you can continue to maintain such a level of dedication, I will give you after graduation. The one who sent the invitation to join the team... don't worry, I don't have as many conditions as Lao He, you can practice how you want."

   "Thank you." Zhou Jing thanked politely.

   "Humph." He Zhifei snorted, turned and walked away.

   Zhou Jing glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze, not caring.

  I am only in the first grade, and the current invitation will only take effect in the future.

   Moreover, he is a fragrant pastry, and this is only the first group of teams to inspect and see his own. In the future, there will be opportunities to cast a wide net, and there will be no shortage of choices, so he is not in a hurry to respond to any captain's intentions.

"I'm optimistic about you." Huang Zhuo patted Zhou Jing's shoulder and encouraged: "I've seen your profile, it seems that the initial potential is not particularly high, but don't be discouraged, as long as you practice hard, you can grow to be very strong the day after tomorrow. I'm going to serve in a period of time, and when I come back, I'll pay attention to your learning progress, don't let me down."

   Zhou Jing nodded and thought to himself.

  This person is going to serve, he should be shuttled to the D19 plane... Maybe his apostle will meet him in the future.

  Huang Zhuo smiled and said to himself: "Study hard, if you can join my team, I will take you to fly."
