Chapter 217: Chapter 217 Dumbfounded (Extra for Alliance Leader Wuxie without worries) (Third Update)

Su Ming and the others watched as the officer called out was taken away, suddenly feeling the pressure intensify, but they still patiently sat and waited.

About another hour passed when Lin Jie came over again, holding a list and calling out names.

"Shu’en!"

"Present!"

Lieutenant Colonel Shu’en stood up solemnly.

"Chen Ying..."

Lin Jie called out names one by one, and the remaining officers in the hall stood up one after another.

Soon Lin Jie called Xu Ze, and he immediately stood up and responded.

Just as Lin Jie was about to lead these ten officers away, she suddenly noticed Su Ming sitting in his chair and was momentarily taken aback.

She looked at the list in her hand, which was complete, and puzzled why there was still someone left, so she approached Su Ming and asked.

"Hello, what is your name?"

"Su Ming!"

Su Ming immediately stood up and responded.

Lin Jie began to check the list in her hand again and did not find the name Su Ming. She furrowed her brows slightly and said,

"Your name isn’t on the list. Why are you here?"

Shu’en, Xu Ze, and the others looked at Su Ming in astonishment.

Su Ming was also surprised and replied uncertainly,

"Were you the ones who invited me?"

"Invited?"

Lin Jie’s face showed a surprised expression.

"Yes, this is the invitation."

Su Ming pulled out an invitation and handed it to Lin Jie.

For a moment, Xu Ze and others were shocked, and a few officers whispered among themselves.

"He has an invitation. We all have letters of recommendation!"

Lin Jie took the invitation from Su Ming, opened it, and then said to him,

"Why didn’t you say you had an invitation earlier? You didn’t need to queue."

"I wasn’t aware,"

Su Ming was also a bit taken aback that the invitation allowed him to skip the line.

"Never mind, you come with them and follow me."

Lin Jie didn’t dwell on it and led them inside.

They soon entered a silver corridor.

Su Ming observed the corridor, which was devoid of any unnecessary decorations and had no dead angles for hiding. Moreover, every interval had a concealed shutter door, and Su Ming also noticed many hidden cameras.

As they walked in, two men and a woman approached them.

The leader was a man with crimson hair who looked proud and wore a nano-armor. Behind him was a giant man who was 2.5 meters tall, completely bald, with a somewhat fierce expression, and a very attractive woman with a cold gaze, clearly the drivers here.

Seeing them, Lin Jie quickly moved her group aside to clear the spacious path.

As the three passed in front of Su Ming and the others, Shu’en respectfully greeted them.

"Lord Alist!"

The leading man glanced at Shu’en and, with a cold demeanor, went straight past with his companions.

Su Ming watched this scene, slightly surprised. Were Biological Mecha Drivers held in such high regard? Even a Lieutenant Colonel greeting them gets ignored.

However, he didn’t say anything since the party concerned showed no objection.

"The test room is just ahead,"

Lin Jie continued leading them forward.

Soon, Su Ming and the others entered a sealed test room, which covered about two thousand square meters and contained various devices for testing bodily functions.

Besides that, the testing chamber’s ceiling had a transparent glass wall, within which there was an observation area where people could look down and see the entire testing area.

At this time, a doctor with somewhat white hair and a slightly hunched body, dressed in a white lab coat, was standing in the observation area watching.

This research doctor was named Liu Qing and was specifically in charge of the Biological Machine tests; he was essentially a supervisor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Testing Chamber No.1. Our first assessment will be the physical ability test. Since Biological Mechas have very stringent requirements for physique, those with inadequate physical ability might be eliminated. I hope everyone will demonstrate their strongest capabilities."

Lin Jie said to the crowd.

"Don’t worry, we are the elite of the elite!"

Chen Ying and others were all full of confidence.

Su Ming looked at the confident crowd and suddenly felt a great pressure; these guys were not weak, each one of them was battle-hardened.

"Very well, we’ll start with the strength test. Everyone will strike the testing device with all their might. The higher the kilograms you register, the stronger your strength. Now, let’s line up and take turns for the test!"

Lin Jie said to the crowd.

"Understood!"

Shu’en and the others immediately lined up, with Su Ming taking the last spot.

"Ah!"

Shu’en took a step forward and shouted, his muscles swelling as he clenched his right fist and smashed it onto the testing device right in front of him!

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the device registered 1231 kilograms.

Su Ming’s eyelids twitched as he saw this number. A normal person’s punch would probably only be around 50-80 kilograms, with a maximum of just over 200 kilograms. But this Lieutenant Colonel had just hit 1231 kilograms? Could the device be broken?

Shu’en looked very satisfied with the value and then stepped aside, allowing Chen Ying to step up and deliver a fierce punch.

The test value soared to 1021 kilograms!

Though not as high as Shu’en’s, it was still incredibly impressive.

One by one, the officers put all their strength into their punches on the testing device, and the numbers kept popping up.

Su Ming was overwhelmed; even the least impressive, Xu Ze, who was in front of him, hit 712 kilograms.

This was just too exaggerated.

Now it was his turn, and Shu’en among others watched Su Ming intensely.

"Come on, brother!"

Xu Ze cheered Su Ming on. Anyone who could obtain an invitation was definitely a remarkable person and worth getting on good terms with.

Su Ming took a deep breath and charged forward, smashing his fist onto the testing device.

The device instantly displayed a value of 275 kilograms, which would be considered excellent compared to a regular person. But compared to the others present, it was practically nothing.

Shu’en and others looked at this scene, their expressions filled with surprise as several officers whispered among themselves.

"Why is it so low? Could he have a deficiency in strength?"

"I’m not sure."

...

Xu Ze was also dumbfounded. What was happening?

Lin Jie looked at Su Ming’s data, equally puzzled. She even suspected that the device might be malfunctioning.

However, she restrained herself from checking the device and addressed the crowd.

"The next test will be for neural response and speed!"

Lin Jie led them to a metallic platform and raised her hand to slap it.

Numerous red lights shone on the metallic platform.

"Being touched by the light means you lose, and the time you persist will be your score!"

Watching this, Su Ming suddenly gained some confidence. His strength might not be up to par, but his speed and reflexes should be decent.

"Okay, I’ll go first!"

Shu’en was the first to step onto the metallic platform.

"Start!"

Lin Jie promptly announced, and the originally stationary lights suddenly began moving.
