After the physical examination, everyone received a number tag: 1554, 1555.
Lu Fei Fan, A Teng, and Niu Dali had consecutive numbers, meaning they were positioned at the back of the line, among the fifteen hundredth numbers.
Once they got their number tags, the group was once again directed towards the Assessment Venue. Lu Fei Fan, along with A Teng and Niu Dali, followed the instructions and headed towards the base's Assessment Venue. The three of them were busy scouting for girls, discussing which girl had a slim waist and long legs, and eventually devolving into lewd conversations about which girl had a big backside that could bear children.
There were indeed many girls participating in this Assessor Unified Examination. When the trio arrived at the base's Assessment Venue, they found several plazas outside filled with waiting crowds. Nearly a thousand people were gathered in small groups, chatting animatedly, while many took the opportunity to flirt with girls.
Lu Fei Fan, A Teng, and Niu Dali were no exception. They swaggered around, trying to collect contact information from girls. Some girls turned away disdainfully, but Lu Fei Fan continued to flaunt his charm and move on to the next target. Unlike A Teng's taste, who preferred mature women and employed shameless tactics like clinging on or rolling around to gain attention, Lu Fei Fan was more straightforward. Out of ten attempts, at least two or three girls would give him a beating for his advances, another two or three would simply walk away, while the rest would reluctantly provide their contact information.
In comparison to the other two, Niu Dali’s taste was even more indiscriminate; he wouldn’t let any girl escape his notice regardless of her appearance—be it unattractive or short—he behaved like a beast that had never encountered a female before.
The assessment at the Assessment Venue didn’t require them to wait in long lines; instead, there were loudspeakers outside announcing random numbers for entry into specific arenas. While the three of them were enjoying themselves, their number was finally called.
“Contestants with number 1553 may enter Arena Four for assessment!” The announcement echoed three times over the loudspeaker—perhaps out of concern that contestants might not hear it since missing this call would mean forfeiting their chance to participate.
Lu Fei Fan glanced down at his number; he was 1553, A Teng was 1554, and Niu Dali was 1555. He looked up and spotted Arena Four before waving goodbye to his companions.
Not long after he started walking, another announcement came through.
“Contestants with number 1554 may enter Arena Four for assessment!”
“Contestants with number 1555 may enter Arena Four for assessment!”
The announcement repeated three times again. A Teng and Niu Dali exchanged glances before heading towards their respective Assessment Venues. As Lu Fei Fan walked away, he deliberately turned back to check on Niu Dali and A Teng. A Teng was strutting around flamboyantly, blowing kisses to nearby women and waving as if he were a star walking down a red carpet—much to the bemusement of onlookers who regarded him as if he were foolish.
Niu Dali scratched his head, relaxed his shoulders, and strode confidently toward his venue.
“Alright, let’s all do our best, brothers,” Lu Fei Fan encouraged quietly, tossing his handsome hair back. However, as he stepped forward, his foot slipped on something beneath him, and with a loud thud, he fell spectacularly.
Lu Fei Fan landed in a most ungraceful manner, instantly drawing laughter from the crowd around him.
“Hahaha, look at that fool! He just flipped over like a sack of potatoes!”
“Trying to show off and look what happened—serves him right!”
“This rookie is something else! Hahaha!”
Amidst the laughter, Lu Fei Fan sprang back up with lightning speed and began cursing vehemently at the banana peel that had caused his fall. It seemed he was determined to curse the ancestor of the person who left the peel there a hundred and eighty times before he would let it go. The crowd was once again impressed by his colorful language and sharp wit.
Eventually, it was only when the announcement urged everyone to hurry that Lu Fei Fan rubbed his forehead where he had bumped it and dashed into his assessment venue.
At the entrance stood two plainly dressed individuals wearing armbands who checked Lu Fei Fan’s identification badge before allowing him inside. Once inside the venue, he was taken aback by the impressive facilities.
The spacious area was as large as a basketball court, filled with several large machines. There were cylindrical glass slots filled with liquid, intricate blue electronic devices whirring away, and two spiral jet guns made of glass-like material hanging nearby. Numerous cables sprawled across the floor, connecting everything haphazardly.
“Are you number…?” One of the middle-aged men in a white uniform approached him. Behind him, several staff members busily inspected the equipment before quickly returning to their posts to report their findings.
“Yes,” Lu Fei Fan replied.
“Good. I’m the examiner for this venue,” the man said, nodding as he checked Lu Fei Fan’s badge. He then pointed to an open area in the venue.
“Insert your badge into that glass slot in the center and stand in the open space.” The man instructed.
Lu Fei Fan followed the instructions and moved to the open space in the center, loosening his limbs.
"Well then, let's begin," the Fourth Examiner said, pressing the start button on a control panel. Nearby, a dozen operators began their synchronized data migration work.
Suddenly, Lu Fei Fan heard a loud clang above him. He looked up and was startled to see a large black turntable slowly rotating overhead, with dark openings resembling cocoons.
Without warning, flexible mechanical tentacles extended from those dark openings—seven or eight of them—each ending in a sharp needle-like tip. The tentacles moved with the grace of a serpent, sending a chill down his spine. Even more frightening was how these mechanical appendages seemed to move like living creatures, spreading out as if searching for acupuncture points on his body.
"Don't move; it might hurt a little, but it won't be too intense—probably just like an ant bite. If you're scared, you can close your eyes," the Fourth Examiner advised from the control panel at the end of the room.
Lu Fei Fan took a deep breath and prepared himself for what was to come.
"Here we go," came the Fourth Examiner's voice.
In an instant, the mechanical tentacles darted toward Lu Fei Fan's body. He felt sharp stings at nine different points—his head, hands, feet, back, and buttocks—all at once. The pain was brief, akin to being pricked by needles (which was exactly what was happening). After that fleeting discomfort, he felt no significant rejection; instead, it was as if a special liquid was being injected into him, lulling him into drowsiness.
This marked the beginning of anesthesia and hypnosis. Machines on both sides of the hall began to hum as operators monitored Lu Fei Fan's bodily data on three-dimensional screens.
"Blood pressure is normal."
"Pulse is normal."
"Heart rate is slightly elevated; begin administering stabilizing medication."
The monitoring assistants reported a series of data observations in succession.
"Alright then, let’s start ‘Braided’," ordered the Fourth Examiner.
Two spiral jet guns in the venue began to rise, instantly shooting out a beam of white light that converged together. A splash of white Energy Flow spread like froth, and a screen made of energy began to materialize before everyone.
On the blank screen, images slowly emerged...
Lu Fei Fan had no idea that he had entered the 'Braided' program designed by the Evaluator. When he opened his eyes, he found himself meditating on a protruding rock at the base of a roaring, cool waterfall. The water cascaded down from above, flowing right past the base of the rock into a deep pool below.
What astonished him was that the height of the waterfall seemed endless, shrouded in a thick mist. The thunderous sound of rushing water indicated that this flow must be coming from a very high cliff.
"Is this the assessment? Meditating here?" Lu Fei Fan thought to himself. Suddenly feeling uneasy, he stood up and looked down; the distance to the bottom was quite deep. He pondered, "Is the test about how to get from here to the shore?"
He glanced around and realized there was no shore in sight!
So what was this assessment about?
As he contemplated the nature of this test, he suddenly noticed a massive shadow covering him from above. He looked up in shock, his eyes widening.
It was a gigantic Luo Shi!
It was plummeting rapidly toward the rock where Lu Fei Fan was standing. In an instant, Lu Fei Fan unleashed his maximum explosive power and propelled himself off the rock as quickly as possible!
His target was a small rock that had already fallen on the other side of the larger one. Although it wasn't big, it was sufficient for him to land on. He leaped onto that rock, quickly pushing off with his foot and easily jumping onto the massive boulder that had just threatened him!
However, he did not relax; the rock beneath him continued to plummet rapidly and crashed down onto the very rock he had just vacated. Clearly, if he did not keep moving, he would fall into the pool below and be crushed.
Ahead of him, another rock fell from the waterfall's cascade. He jumped over to it and looked up, instantly understanding what this assessment entailed: he could not fall into the water!
Above him and around the waterfall, various large rocks were continuously falling. Shadows loomed over him as more boulders descended, but there were still enough gaps between them for Lu Fei Fan to leap and move upward.
Lu Fei Fan took a deep breath and began to leverage his surroundings, jumping and weaving his way up the falling rocks. His agile body and impressive jumping ability were once again a testament to the training regimen devised by the hero, allowing him to bounce from stone to stone amidst the mist of the waterfall. However, just when Lu Fei Fan thought he was adapting, he underestimated the 'Braided' level of the Data Analysis System, which increased the difficulty due to his growing strength.
The rocks began to vary significantly in shape and size; some were too small for Lu Fei Fan to land on, while sharp rock spikes fell from above. A moment's inattention could send him plummeting into the abyss, forcing him to concentrate intensely once more. At times, he found himself in precarious situations, but he managed to avoid falling into the water below.
He persevered, and after some time, he became adept at handling this new level of difficulty. Yet, the 'Braided' program continued to ramp up the challenges.
The speed of the falling rocks increased, and aggressive creatures began to descend from above—like a ferocious Black Octopus or an Electric Eel crackling with lightning!
Lu Fei Fan finally found himself in a dire situation. While scrambling to find footholds among the falling debris, he couldn't help but curse under his breath. Several times he nearly fell into the deep pool below, but with his astonishing jumping ability and explosive power, he managed to leap onto another rock, seizing a new opportunity.
He had lost track of time; all he knew was that rocks kept falling endlessly. At times, their scarcity forced him to push beyond his limits in leaps, while at other moments, their overwhelming numbers threatened to crush him. Amidst this chaos were aquatic creatures that took advantage of the situation to attack him, yet he skillfully dodged each one.
Despite everything, the 'Braided' assessment program continued to throw challenges at him. Lu Fei Fan was like an unyielding warrior leaping between rocks in the waterfall, becoming increasingly agile—like a flying monkey.
In reality, the Fourth Examiner observed Lu Fei Fan's frantic movements on the three-dimensional energy screen. The various challenges seemed ineffective against him, which surprised him and even left him slightly astonished. He nodded thoughtfully and murmured to himself, "Interesting."
With that, he lowered his head and began recording Lu Fei Fan's final results for this assessment.
