Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Fourth Generation Biological Mecha·Evil (First Update)

"You, you’re being ridiculous; I absolutely won’t agree to this!"

Deluca was so angry that he momentarily lost the ability to speak, his heart clenching with pain.

Blakes didn’t even give Deluca a direct look, just coldly staring at the virtual image.

"Fine, since you’re determined to go your own way, heedless of advice, then just wait!"

Trembling, Deluca left.

In the Biological Cabin Test Room, Lin Jie silently waited for instructions from her superiors. Under normal circumstances, todays testing would have been concluded, and everyone, including Su Ming, could have been sent back.

However, Lin Jie felt that today was anything but normal, fearing there might be additional instructions from above.

As for Su Ming, he stood there awkwardly, his scores from the two tests so poor he couldn’t bear to look at them, truly hitting rock bottom.

Moreover, Shu’en and the others were all watching him, with many whispering among themselves.

Just then, Liu Qing hurriedly entered, and upon seeing her supervisor, Lin Jie promptly went to meet him.

Shuen and the others turned their heads to look, only to see Liu Qing speaking quietly to Lin Jie about something, a look of sheer horror crossing her face.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s brows furrowed.

It wasn’t long before Liu Qing finished giving Lin Jie his instructions and quickly left. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Lin Jie took several deep breaths, trying to calm her turbulent heart, then approached Su Ming and the others.

"Lord Lin Jie? He’s not going to have a third test, is he?"

Chen Ying couldn’t help but ask curiously.

As Chen Ying spoke, Shu’en and the others all focused their attention on Lin Jie.

Lin Jie too silently bore the immense pressure and said to Su Ming,

"That’s correct, Mr. Su Ming, you will need a third test. Moreover, it will be a real machine test, so please mentally prepare yourself!"

The moment she said this, veins throbbed on Shu’en’s forehead, and Hejassi and the others were in an uproar, disbelievingly saying,

"A third test? And with a real machine, are you kidding?"

"Yeah, that’s totally unfair, even Lieutenant Colonel Shu’en, who has the best scores among us, would have to pass through many rounds of assessment to get a real machine test!"

"Exactly, with his score, you’re giving him a real machine test? There’s backdoor dealing, and then there’s this absurdity!"

...

Seeing everyone’s dissatisfaction, Lin Jie spoke in displeasure,

"Gentlemen, I understand you have objections, but I’m sorry, this is a decision from above."

"We can’t intervene in decisions from above, but we insist on witnessing his real machine test ourselves, to at least understand where we stand in comparison, right?"

Shu’en, struggling to contain his discontent, said to Lin Jie.

"That’s right, we want to witness his real machine test!"

Chen Ying and the others echoed in agreement.

"Alright, then let’s all go together!"

Lin Jie hesitated for a moment, ultimately agreeing since she too felt that the authorities were playing favorites to an excessive and indefensible extent.

"Great!"

Seeing Lin Jie’s agreement, Shu’en and the others didn’t make any further fuss.

Lin Jie then clapped her hands and announced,

"Descend!"

The entire room began to shake as the floor started sinking, which startled everyone, though they quickly regained their composure.

Before long, the floor had descended underground, revealing an entrance to a passage.

"Please follow me. The real machine test area is located beneath building number six. We will now take this express passage directly to the real machine testing area."

Lin Jie led everyone towards the entrance of the passage.

...

At that moment, in the real machine test area, an ear-piercing alarm sounded continuously.

One by one, the staff members clad in white research uniforms hurriedly dashed back and forth as a series of prompts and instructions blared from the intercom.

"Emergency notice: Biological Mecha testing will commence shortly, all staff members, please immediately return to your posts."

"Notice: Unlock biological machine storage number 3!"

....

Meanwhile, Su Ming and the others made their way smoothly to viewing stand number 1 of the test hangar via a fast-track passage.

The immense testing hangar soared to a hundred meters with a floor area of a hundred thousand square meters; its walls were constructed entirely of reinforced alloy, encasing various large-scale equipment within.

At this moment, numerous staff members were hurrying to check each key facility.

"Is this the testing hangar?"

Chen Ying and others gazed at the hangar ahead with faces brimming with excitement.

It was then that the intercom sounded again.

"Attention all staff, the number 3 mecha is about to be moved into the testing hangar, please prepare for its reception."

Following the end of the announcement,

Click!

A circular gap opened up at the base of the testing hangar, followed by the ascent of a black circular metal platform. On it stood a 45-meter-tall humanoid figure adorned with black armor that shimmered with a distinct luster. Two suppressive metal spikes jutted from its back; its heinous head topped with a metal-shrouded spike. Its eyes were deeply recessed, and its mouth displayed sharp and vicious teeth—it was the Fourth Generation Biological Mecha entering their field of view.

"Evil!"

Su Ming couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.

This Fourth Generation Biological Mecha was identical to Evil in the virtual world. If there had to be any differences, it would be the embedded armor on its surface and the fact that its weapons were more complete and advanced.

"Correct, this is the Fourth Generation Biological Mecha·Villain, which is also your testing unit for this session,"

Lin Jie said to Su Ming, somewhat surprised. She hadn’t expected Su Ming to recognize the mecha, considering the guy wasn’t entirely useless.

"Hmm."

Su Ming quickly adjusted his mindset and responded.

"Please, everyone, stay here to watch the live test. Remember not to wander around; causing unnecessary misunderstandings could be troublesome,"

Lin Jie instructed everyone.

"Understood."

Shu’en responded solemnly.

"Mr. Su Ming, follow me, please. I’ll take you to the changing room to prepare!"

Lin Jie courteously lead Su Ming further in.

...

Elsewhere, inside a hurriedly transited emergency corridor, Dr. Liu Qing was leading three people rapidly toward the testing hangar.

These three were none other than Alis and her companions, whom Su Ming and his group had encountered earlier.

"Liu Qing, what’s with the secrecy? I wasn’t informed of any live test today,"

the bald man with a volatile look muttered irritably.

"Lord Fumson, the notification was last minute; otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you back in such a rush,"

"How odd, could it be that the tester today is an exceptional talent?"

the cold woman inquired, full of suspicion.

"Lady Martha, this..."

Dr. Liu Qing found himself at a loss for words, stammering, unable to speak.

They then arrived at zone 2 of the testing hangar, where the Fourth Generation Mecha·Villain, raised into view, greeted them head-on.

"Villain? They’re actually using Villain for the test! Who is being tested?"

Alis asked, visibly moved. The Fourth Generation Mecha·Villain was one of the stronger models among the fourth generation, not usually deployed for testing purposes.

"The Imperial Court Academy’s new student, Su Ming!"

Liu Qing explained, resigned.

"Are the test results very impressive? Show me,"

Alis asked Liu Qing with a very serious demeanor.
