15: Chapter 15: Test Arena 101 15: Chapter 15: Test Arena 101 Inside the flying car, it was as if surrounded by the stars. Everywhere I looked, there were twinkling lights. To the ordinary person, this sight would be dazzling. Even with Lin Xiaosu’s extraordinary eyesight, she could only clearly see the sparkling lights but not understand why they were twinkling. There was no one inside, it was an unmanned vehicle. Chang Ye comfortably sat down in a recliner and casually said the word: “101!” Then, in a flash of light, with a light body, Lin Xiaosu also followed the flying car away. Unable to see the outside, not even the slightest bit, but he could feel the speed, the speed that in an instant had reached an unimaginable realm. “What does ‘101’ mean?” Lin Xiaosu sat down next to her. “It’s a very interesting symbol,” said Chang Ye with a slight smile on her lips. “Symbol? Isn’t it a number?” “It is a number, but to understand the meaning of this number, it’s more accurate to interpret it from its shape... The ‘0’ represents Earth, and the two ‘1’s next to it represents pillars.” Lin Xiaosu’s head tilted slightly backward: “The Earth’s two pillars... You say I’m narcissistic, but I think you are the ones who are truly narcissistic... Can’t we see outside from this flying car?” “You can see, but you currently don’t have the authority.” “When will I get it?” “In principle, you need to get the Qianlong Gold Medal, at the very least you need to pass the training and assessment. Any more questions?” Chang Ye asked. “Just one last question...” Lin Xiaosu touched the refined interior decoration of the flying car: “With our salary, how many years would it take to afford a flying car like this?” Chang Ye gently shook her head: “Are you still fixated on income?” “That’s right, isn’t that what one should be most concerned about when applying for a job?” “Can’t you think a bit bigger?” “I can! Let me ask something wild... If I work hard in the future, can I buy a car and house within one year? The car being this kind of car, the house in the provincial city...” Chang Ye’s head hit the back of the recliner, murmuring: “Comrade Xiao Lin, don’t talk like this at the base, any of your words related to mundane money when spoken aloud will add difficulty to your review. Qianlong members, if they set their hearts on making money, that’s really taboo...” “You and I seem to have a very big difference in perspective,” Lin Xiaosu said: “I know you are dedicated to serving the country, but serving the country and personal pursuits are not contradictory, right? I once had a buddy who said something that sounded very ‘cheesy’, but on second thought, it actually made sense. She said, if a person has no personal pursuits, how can you expect them to seek welfare for the people? To derive from that, there’s that eternal saying: If one’s own house is not swept, how can one sweep the world? If one does not take responsibility for their own wife and children, how can they take responsibility for the people of the world?” Chang Ye glanced at him: “That buddy of yours, it’s Li Diandian, right?” “It’s not, how could it be? Her thoughts are very pure... The only one who isn’t that pure is me!” “Hmm...” Chang Ye gently nodded: “Although you’re still smelling of copper, hedonism embedded in your bones, at least you have a good trait, you’re quite loyal, you don’t cause trouble for your comrades, that’s not bad, today at first encounter, if this was an assessment, you’re not too far from the passing line...” It was Lin Xiaosu’s turn to rest his head against the chair and bump it. This journey also involves an assessment. Every action and word was within the assessment, damn it, I’m just an ordinary university student, I have a plethora of emotions and desires, if you use the machine’s assessment law on me, I might as well roll up my bedding and go home... About three hours passed. The flying car landed. When the door of the flying car opened, Lin Xiaosu was stunned. In front of him was an island, a large one with mountains, waters, jungles, and all sorts of modern buildings, like a resort built with a heavy investment, and behind him, as far as the eye could see, was all seawater. Within his field of vision, there was not a second piece of land. Between the matching colors of the sea and the sky, one did not know where they were. “Guess, where do you think you are right now?” Chang Ye’s voice came along, starting with the sea breeze. Her hair didn’t float up, because for one reason, she was the poison man, and each strand of her hair was a lethal weapon, thus, under normal circumstances, her hair was absolutely immaculate. Lin Xiaosu took out his phone. On the phone, there was time displayed, but the current location indicated unknown, and the phone signal showed restricted. Chang Ye laughed: “You’re still hoping to use your phone to check the address here? What were you thinking?” “Completely isolated?” “There are satellite signals on the island, it’s just that you don’t have the permission to access them right now. Luckily, you’ve already asked for leave from your mother. Even more fortunate is that, according to the data I’ve collected, you don’t have a girlfriend.” Not having a girlfriend has also become fortunate! Damn, shouldn’t this be considered tragic? Lin Xiaosu’s eyes flickered: “So, the question you asked, is it also part of the assessment?” “Assessment... what assessment?” Chang Ye asked. Lin Xiaosu said: “You’re testing me to see if, without any technological aid, I can deduce where I am right now.” Chang Ye laughed: “You’re wrong! A so-called assessment, theoretically, must have possible options of passing to become an assessment question. And the one you’re imagining, has no possibility of passing, so, this isn’t an assessment... I was simply letting you know your current situation.” Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat. He seemed to have touched upon the profundity of Qianlong, this profundity was extremely deep and profound, but, after all, there was a boundary. For example, Chang Ye, as an important person within Qianlong, had made a mistake. She said without technological aid, it was theoretically impossible to deduce the location, not possible at all. That was a mistake. In fact, theoretically, it’s possible. How to calculate? Just need the sun and time! The Earth revolves around the sun, and with the changing seasons, the direction of the sunlight follows a regular pattern. In winter, the Southern Hemisphere is directly illuminated, while in summer, the Northern Hemisphere is. At any given time, every latitude and longitude on Earth receives different sunlight. By implanting this massive database in one’s mind, corresponding to the changes in sunlight at various times, you can reverse-engineer your location. That’s the theory, at least. Of course, turning theory into reality is no easy feat. Supercomputers might be able to do the calculations, but the human brain certainly can’t. But who can know just how powerful “Human Tao Orchid Heart” is? Lin Xiaosu did not continue to discuss this baffling question with her, taking the card she gave him and proceeding to his own experimental area. The Qianlong experimental area for newcomers is unlike a regular military camp; it is ten thousand times more upscale and luxurious. The rooms are like hotel guest rooms. And they are five-star suites. With living rooms, bathrooms, toilets, and even kitchens. What Lin Xiaosu didn’t expect was that there was even a female host... As soon as he entered, he saw a tall and beautiful woman, comparable to Hu Ya, standing before him, smiling as she told him, “Mr. Lin, I am your private assistant, little Luo.” “Private assistant? What do you do?” Lin Xiaosu asked. “I cook for you, wash your clothes, answer all your questions...” What a good deal, training and having a private assistant. Lin Xiaosu sat down: “Little Luo, you said you can cook?” “Mhm, I can make all Eight Great Cuisines and seventy-two local snacks.” “Can you make Fengcheng’s Snowflake Rice Cakes?” “Yes!” “Can you cook some for me?” “I cannot!” little Luo said, “You have not yet unlocked the privileges.” “Darn, privileges again? Look, we’re all in the same trench now, isn’t it unnecessary to be so strict about privileges? Be a bit flexible, eating isn’t a matter of principle.” “I cannot! Because I am not human, I am a simulation robot!” little Luo blinked her eyes. Lin Xiaosu’s eyes widened. His “God Eyes” could perceive the smallest details, but upon first glance, he really didn’t realize that the person in front of him was a simulation robot; only after her reminder and a closer inspection did he truly find out that, indeed, she was a simulation machine, with hair, skin, eyes, lips, teeth all being so. Perfect to the extreme, but too perfect to be real. “How can I unlock these privileges?” “Here is the privilege correspondence chart, you can take a look...” Little Luo blinked lightly, and a holographic projection appeared in the room, displaying a clear privilege correspondence table. Her functions were incredibly numerous and powerful, but the privilege correspondence was quite complex. There are five major types in the experimental area, or five major directions. One is combat. One is firearms and weaponry. One is espionage. One is medical. One is special operations. No need to be omnipotent; everyone can choose a direction that suits them. Every experimental area has its own standards, and by passing the assessment, you can unlock assistant privileges. Perhaps, the real function of the assistant is to stand as a motivational target by your side, constantly reminding you to pass the assessment; otherwise, when others have assistants with high-level privileges, and yours is pouting next to you, how could you stand it? After checking out all this, Lin Xiaosu was slightly speechless: “Even though I have an assistant proficient in the Eight Great Cuisines by my side, when I’m so hungry that I could cry, do I still have to grab a shabby bowl and go to the cafeteria for food?” The assistant conjured a bowl from behind as if by magic and handed it to him. Lin Xiaosu took her bowl and went to the cafeteria. Along the way, he finally saw his fellow inductees. In fact, there were quite a few. Ahead in the cafeteria, three long queues formed, consisting of both men and women, with the common trait being their suntanned complexions, clearly the kind that had been weathered by the sun. Unless mistaken, eight or nine out of ten were soldiers, and not just any soldiers but the elite among them, the “Military Kings.” The Qianlong Selection had two forms of entry. The mainstream channel is still selecting Military Kings from various military districts and the best police officers from the public security system. The side door channel is civilian recruitment. His pretty-boy looks amidst a queue of battle-hardened Military Kings made him an outlier. Similarly conspicuous as an apparent civilian recruit was a lean young man who kept his head down, exuding a bit of shyness. Indeed, in the face of these elite soldiers emerging from the military field, those recruited from society were inherently less confident.
