Chapter 61 - Your Stage

There were only 15 minutes left before they left.

Chen Yu came to the restaurant alone. He randomly ordered some dried fruits and sat in a corner to kill time.

There were very few examinees in the restaurant. There were less than 20 of them.

The rest of the people were all gathered in the hall.

The moment that determined one’s fate was about to arrive. There were not many people like Chen Yu who were heartless and could still eat…

At this moment.

Three examiners appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Chen Yu.

The female examiners in the lead went straight to the point. “Excuse me, are you student Chen Yu?”

Chen Yu: “My name Is Gangmen Residence.”

“…” Beads of sweat appeared on the female examiners’ forehead. “We know that you are Chen Yu.”

Chen Yu: “Why are you still asking if you know?”

Female examiners: “…”

“Why?” Chen Yu raised his head, looked at the three of them, and raised his food bag. “Do you guys want to eat walnuts too?”

“Thanks, we don’t want to eat them.” The female examiner refused. “We came here because we want to check some data with you.”

Crack–

Chen Yu broke a piece of walnuts, threw the kernel into his mouth, and chewed. “Let’s eat the walnuts.”

“May I ask what your current strength level is?”

“Around 0.7.”

“Can we measure it?”

Chen Yu unhesitatingly opened his clothes and revealed his belly. “Touch it.”

The examiner: “…”

“Don’t be shy. Come, touch it.”

“We… We have professional equipment. Please put down your clothes.” The female examiner was a little embarrassed. She took out a device that looked like a blood pressure meter and placed the probe on Chen Yu’s abdomen.

“Student Chen Yu, please operate the cyclone,” another examiner said.

Chen Yu nodded. He chewed on the walnut and unleashed the strength in his body.

[112.5 gf/h]

[Fighter level: 0.75]

Looking at the data displayed on the device screen, the female examiner put away the probe and said seriously, “Your strength level is above 0.7, but why does your data show 0.35?”

“The data from No. 7 High School?”

“Yes.”

“Oh.” Chen Yu decisively stabbed the knife. “They filled it in randomly. I didn’t go to the literature exam at that time. In a school like this, you have to punish them to death. I’ll testify.”

“The… the matter of punishment should be put aside for now. There will be a special organization to deal with it.” The female examiner took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat. “But when you were in No. 2 High School, your strength level didn’t break 0.4 on the last side.”

“I reported it. No. 2 High School also made a false report. You should punish them together with No. 7 High School.”

“…”

The female examiner was silent for a long time. “Student Chen Yu, please be more serious. Your body test data at No. 2 High School is recorded in a video.”

“Oh, then it’s fine.” Chen Yu nodded. “You guys can go. Just punish No. 7 High School.”

“Okay, sorry to bother you.”

“It’s okay.”

“…Wait… Wait a minute!” The female examiner was just about to turn around, but she turned back. “We’re not looking for you to punish any high school! As for the punishment, there will naturally be other organizations responsible!”

Chen Yu frowned. “Then what’s the use of me looking for you?”

The female examiner roared, “We’re the ones looking for you!”

In the restaurant, everyone looked over…

The female examiner quickly covered her mouth and lowered her voice, “Student Chen Yu, please be normal.”

“Alright, what exactly are you guys doing?” Chen Yu ate another piece of walnut.

“We mainly want to understand that in just over a month’s time, you have broken through from 0.4 to 0.7.”

“That’s right.” Chen Yu nodded. “Is there a problem?”

“Don’t you think that this speed of improvement is too fast?” the female examiner asked.

“I ate the 4,000 Qi boosting pills that my sister gave me,” Chen Yu explained.

The female examiner: “…There aren’t 4,000 pills in the entire Qingcheng City.”

“Oh, then that’s 4 pills. There’s not much difference.”

The female examiner always felt that her brain circuits could not keep up with the examinee in front of her…

Chen Yu spread his hands. “Moreover, my talent isn’t too bad. It’s just that I didn’t practice well. Within a month, I rose 0.3, 0.4, it’s not a big deal.”

The three examiners looked at each other. “But we feel that this kind of progress is too fast. Is there any other explanation?”

‘If I wasn’t afraid of scaring you, I would have broken through to Level 1 long ago…’

After silently criticizing her, Chen Yu continued to eat his walnuts, acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He said casually, “There’s no other explanation. Maybe I was born a genius.”

The female examiner frowned and stood in place for a moment.

She really did not want to communicate with Chen Yu anymore. In the end, she sighed. “Alright then, we’ll go update your data now. In order to prevent you from using special prohibited items and harming the interests of other examinees, please follow us for additional blood and urine tests. The samples will be sent to the capital for professional testing.”

“Urine test?” Chen Yu immediately stood up. “If you mention this, I won’t be sleepy anymore!”

…

Five minutes later.

Chen Yu finished the blood and urine tests and left the bathroom.

Only two male examiners who were ‘doubting their lives’ were left behind..

When he returned to the main hall, the hundreds of examinees who had advanced had already gathered. Under the lead of the bald Chief Examiner, he walked to the exit of the main door.

Chen Yu quietly blended into the team and looked left and right. He saw quite a number of familiar faces from No. 2 High School.

They were all the top students he had to look up to in the past.

Among them, there was also the female class monitor from his previous class…

“Stop.”

Walking to the metal gate, the Chief Examiner stopped and raised his wrist to look at the time. “There are still two minutes left. If the time is not up, you can’t go out.”

All the examinees became alert.

“One minute.”

“Thirty seconds.”

“Ten seconds…”

Other than the Chief Examiner’s time, the scene was silent.

“Hu.” Chen Yu inexplicably became nervous. He took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.

“Five seconds.”

“Three.”

“Two…”

“One.”

Putting down his wrist, the bald Chief Examiner slowly pushed open the metal door.

Creak, creak, creak…

Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of metal friction, rays of sunlight shone in, causing the examinees to unconsciously squint their eyes.

Creak, creak, creak…

The gap of the huge door was getting bigger and bigger.

Other than more light, there were also deafening cheers.

It was the sound of tens of thousands of people shouting at the top of their lungs.

It was warm and powerful.

It was far more shocking than the explosion of an ice-cold cannon..

Creak, creak, creak… Dong!

The metal door was completely opened.

All the examinees could see the boiling ocean outside.

The waving flag.

The undulating waves of people.

The sound waves that pounced on them…

As well as the emotions and wills that were difficult to describe but were real and could only be expressed to the same race.

“Humans…”

Chen Yu’s heart was surging. Suddenly, he had a deeper understanding of the word ‘civilization’.

The Chief Examiner turned around and opened his arms. “Go. That is your stage.”
