Chapter 756: Unable to Determine
Chapter 756: Unable to Determine
boom--
After a long time, when Lu Li landed on the ground, a huge roar sounded again, and the pit spread out again from where Lu Li jumped.
In the smoke and dust, Lu Li waved his arm lightly, creating a breeze and revealing his figure.
The examiner who was in charge of recording the results had a trembling pen in his hand as he wrote the four big words "cannot be determined" on Lu Li's transcript.
The members of the test group all had their mouths agape at this point, still looking up at the sky above the building, wondering if they really needed to be heroes?
That cyborg just now was fine, but is this guy who can jump into the space station really a human?
"Next...next test, repeated horizontal jumps, please let candidate Lu Li enter."
The examiner at another venue was terrified when he saw Lu Li walking towards him, and subconsciously stepped back away from the test site.
Not only that, even the other candidates who were supposed to take the test together all avoided it.
Are you kidding? We all saw this monster running and high jumping just now. Who dares to take the test with him?
What if the noise made by the other party kills you?
Lu Li walked into the examination room. He was very satisfied with the current situation. He saved himself from saying anything and started taking the test in front of everyone.
Repeated sideways jumping tests mobility and agility. It tests the number of times you can jump sideways repeatedly within a time limit. The higher the number, the higher the score.
This sport is actually a conventional competition. In Lu Li's memory, it is more common in a certain island country. The rule is that there will be three parallel lines on the floor with an interval of 1 meter.
Start from the center line, after the timing starts, repeatedly jump from center to right → center → left → center → right..., and repeat this cycle.
Therefore, a certain pattern of movement is required. It is not enough to just jump left and right mindlessly. The pause in the middle really tests the body's balance and sense of proportion.
The Hero Association's test records the number of repeated horizontal jumps within 20 seconds, with jumping from one line to another counted as one time. For example, completing the jump from center to right → center → left → center counts as 4 times.
According to the standards of the Hero Association, if you can jump sideways more than 1000 times within the seconds of the test, you will get a full score.
This is in line with the common sense of this world. After all, Lu Li had read a superpower tennis comic when he was a child, and the number of times Echizen Ryoma jumped sideways repeatedly was only 71 times.
Being able to jump sideways more than 1000 times within a limited time is definitely a superhuman for ordinary people, and as long as you can jump sideways more than 50 times, you can meet the standards of the agility test item of a C-level hero.
If it can reach more than 500 times, that is the agility standard for an A-level hero. Of course, the Hero Association's assessment of the hero's level is not based solely on a certain physical test, but a comprehensive assessment is required to come up with a final rating.
"Start...start..."
The referee waved his hand with sweat on his forehead, shouted "start", pressed the counter, and then ran away with his head in his hands.
The next moment, Lu Li's figure in the examination room turned into a phantom, and the sound of his feet stepping on the floor was like thousands of machine guns firing at the same time, and the sound became more and more dense, and finally condensed into a continuous sound.
The strong wind caused by the repeated jumping stirred the air in the conference hall, making it difficult for the candidates to stand steadily.
Genos's mechanical eyes stared at Lu Li's movements, but even with his most advanced eyes, he could only see Lu Li's phantom that had blurred into a horizontal line, and could not see clearly how Lu Li jumped.
The moment the timer ended, Lu Li stopped moving. The field where he was jumping was already in tatters, but the detector made by Metal Knight was still intact and was fulfilling its mission.
But its dynamic shooting capability seemed to have its limits. The numbers on it kept jumping and flipping, and finally it crashed. The long string of numbers on it kept scrolling back and forth, and it was impossible to determine them accurately.
Seeing that the test was over, the examiner came over and looked at the instrument. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He glanced at Lu Li's list and could only follow the example of the two people in front of him and added a sentence at the end: "The number is too large, and the measurement cannot be made."
After he adjusted and reset the instrument, he allowed Genos and others to go forward for testing.
Genos's performance was relatively normal. He jumped sideways 20 times in 1233 seconds, which caused another round of amazement. This showed that as a cyborg, his agile turning performance was also maximized.
"Mr. Lu Li is too... outrageous, isn't he?"
The members of the Fubuki team who were watching the exam outside the venue all opened their mouths wide. They had not yet recovered from Lu Li's previous test. They just felt that such a great player was not someone that their Fubuki team could keep.
"This is the strength that our Fubuki Group should have!"
Fubuki ignored what the team members said and looked excited.
The others looked at each other, and they all felt that the team leader had fallen into a pit and couldn't get out. They could only join her in making trouble, hoping that Lu Li could stay in their team for a while longer, just to make the team leader happy.
Whoosh whoosh—
At this time, a tornado swept through the field again. It turned out that Lu Li was holding the heaviest weightlifting bar as a brush. The top-grade ten-ton weight made by Metal Knight with special materials was as light as a toothpick in Lu Li's hand, and he lifted it with ease.
The examiner in charge of this project could only wipe the sweat from his forehead, write down ten tons on it, and add a sentence (the limit has not yet been measured)
Finally, it came to the punching strength test. Lu Li looked at the punching strength tester with a huge spring embedded in the back. "Although it seems a bit late to ask now, but if this thing is broken, I don't have to pay for it, right?"
The examiner was about to say something but stopped himself. He quickly stepped forward and stopped Lu Li who was about to attack. "You don't have to pay compensation, but please calm down, candidate Lu Li. I will just write the score for you!"
"That's not good. What if someone suspects me of bribing the examiner to cheat?"
Lu Li said with a smile.
"No, no, no. Every hero exam is recorded on video. I believe the Hero Association will not question your results. If you have any objections later, you can retake this one."
The examiner said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Are you kidding? The guy in front of me has failed several tests in a row. He can jump to the space station with a high jump, but this punching strength tester will definitely be blown up!
Although as a project to recruit talents, if their examination property was damaged it would only mean that their own skills were not strong enough and it would be impossible for the candidates to compensate, but even if it was damaged it would still cost money. He felt that he could not measure the upper limit of the man's ability anyway, so he might as well just let him pass with full marks.
Even if the higher-ups investigate, they will think he has done a good job and he will probably even receive a bonus.
After all, this punching force tester is not cheap, and he can't afford it even if he works here for a lifetime. "I'm not a person who likes to destroy things, so let's just leave it at that."
Lu Li turned and left, letting the examiner wipe his sweat and help Lu Li write down the highest score, adding a sentence that it could not be determined.
The physical fitness test in the afternoon ended in a hurry. Mainly because after seeing Lu Li and Genos’ tests, a large number of candidates simply gave up on continuing the test.
They felt that they might not be suitable to be heroes, and they thought that all those who wanted to be heroes were monsters like this.
The Hero Association is extremely efficient. Lu Li had just returned to the locker room, changed his clothes, and walked out the door when he saw Fubuki and the others waiting for him excitedly.
The people from the Hero Association also stepped forward and handed Lu Li a bag wrapped in brown paper, which contained his transcript.
"Open it quickly and take a look. If your written test score is acceptable, it should be an A, right?"
Fubuki asked excitedly, "No, maybe he will be S-rank right away."
Lu Li opened the bag and took out the report card. He was a little disappointed. The comprehensive evaluation on it had a big 'A'.
Out of curiosity, he used his perception ability to spy on Genos who was receiving his report card not far away, only to find that he was S-level.
This made Lu Li a little puzzled. He showed the transcript to Fubuki in confusion, "I say, is there something shady going on in the Hero Association?"
He looked and saw that both he and Genos got full marks in the written and physical tests, but why was the other party S-level while he was A-level?
"You weren't famous before, so this is normal."
Fubuki didn't find it strange. She leaned close to Lu Li, glanced at Genos, and whispered, "That cyborg had already eliminated a lot of difficult monsters before applying to join the Hero Association. He has a certain reputation among the people. He came to take the exam just to go through the formalities. According to my personal information, the higher-ups have already held a meeting to discuss his rating."
Lu Li felt unhappy after hearing this. He felt that this hero exam was just a joke. Whether one could be rated S-level did not seem to be determined by these simple tests.
Fubuki's words made him understand that what the Hero Association looks at mainly is the battle record, and it has to be a record that is recognized by the public. It would be best if you have a certain popularity as a hero and can generate certain commercial value for them.
When Lu Li and Fubuki walked to the gate of the Hero Association, there was already a group of reporters waiting there. However, they were not flocking to him, the new hero who had performed well in today's physical test, but to Genos.
"Mr. Genos, what are your thoughts after officially joining the Hero Association?"
"Mr. Genos, now that you have become an S-class hero, do you have anything to say to the audience?"
"Devil Cyborg, did you come up with this heroic title, or did the Hero Association come up with it for you?"
"..."
The reporters kept asking one after another, and seemed to have annoyed Genos. He was a cyborg, so his facial expressions were not vivid enough. He stretched out his hand to dismiss the reporters like a cold and expressionless person.
"There's nothing much to say. This test is extremely boring."
Genos said indifferently, pushing the reporter away and walking towards Lu Li on the other side. His mechanical eyes saw the report card held in Lu Li's lowered hand when he glanced sideways, and knew that the other party's grades were A.
He walked over to Lu Li and the reporters all rushed over. Lu Li was fine, but Chuixue quickly straightened her collar and lifted her hair to ensure that her demeanor was in the best condition.
"I just want to say that hero ratings are boring and meaningless. The guy next to me is much stronger than me, but he was only rated A."
Genos added this when he saw the reporter was still following him.
It was only after seeing Lu Li's rating that he couldn't help but feel disappointed with the Hero Association. He had previously followed the doctor's advice and officially became a hero, thinking that it might be easier to find his enemies through the resources of the Hero Association.
But he didn't expect that the Hero Association was more commercial than he imagined, and the ratings were not convincing at all.
"Hello, I'm Hell Blizzard, the number one in B-Class."
Fubuki looked reserved, but when facing the camera of the reporter, she was very proactive and stretched out her hand towards Genos.
However, Genos didn't look at Fubuki and walked straight towards Lu Li, "Mr. Lu Li, please tell me the secret of how you became so powerful!"
Lu Li was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that this cyborg is really stubborn. I have already told you that I am not a cyborg and I do not have any technology.
As for the secret of being strong? Am I supposed to tell you that I am a space dweller and all my attributes are the result of hard work and sweat?
Lu Li felt that the blonde cyborg in front of him was difficult to deal with. If he got entangled with her, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. The usual excuses would not work. After thinking for a while, he simply pointed at Fubuki and said, "It's all my team leader. Miss Fubuki gave me good instructions."
Genos was also stunned when he heard that, and then immediately turned his gaze to Fubuki. The mechanical eye activated the combat power measurement system, but after looking at it, he didn't think Fubuki was that powerful.
In terms of physical strength, there is a huge gap between him and his transformed self.
Fubuki didn't expect Lu Li to use this excuse, but she was good at taking advantage of others after all, so she immediately showed a smug smile on her face, "A devilish cyborg, right? The reason why Lu Li is so strong is the secret of our Fubuki team. Please don't harass our Lu Li anymore in the future."
She actually originally wanted to use the reason Lu Li gave her to trick Genos into joining the team, but she thought about it and felt that it was too unfair. After all, she didn't know how to teach people to become stronger.
Of course, she hoped that the Fubuki group could become stronger, but she also didn't like to cheat others, so she simply cooperated with Lu Li and wanted to get Genos away first.
Several people had their own drama in their hearts, but it looked different in the eyes of reporters who were unaware of the inside story.
They suddenly felt that there was a big explosive point in today's news. An S-class devil cyborg actually admired an A-class new hero so much, and this A-class hero was a member of the Blizzard Group. Could it be that the Blizzard Group had been in the B-class for many years and had already transformed?
If you think about it carefully, Fubuki, who is ranked first in B-class, is the younger sister of Tornado, who is ranked second in S-class. They are both users of super powers, so how could their potentials be so different?
Could it be that Fubuki has actually been hiding her strength, and her true strength is not inferior to that of Tornado?
For a moment, the reporters had already figured out how to "make up stories" when they returned.
Taking advantage of the reporters and Genos's daze, Lu Li changed direction and left.
Chuixue originally wanted to revel in the crowd of reporters, but when she saw Lu Li walking away, she quickly pushed the reporters aside and followed him, fearing that Lu Li would run away, "Wait for us."
