The First Mist Chapter 73 Test
After saying goodbye at Building 17, Xu Shen found Building 2 according to the map.
It is more accurate to call it Manor No. 2 rather than Building No. 2.
When Xu Shen came to this living area belonging to the first echelon, he immediately felt the treatment gap among the first echelon.
The guard at the gate of the manor saw Xu Shen's attire and asked in confusion : "Who are you?"
"I'll report."
The guard was surprised because no one from the second team had come in as a substitute for a long time.
But Xu Shen was in combat uniform, so it was obvious that he was not someone he could afford to offend, so he carefully invited Xu Shen into the manor.
The manor was extremely luxurious, but Xu Shen could smell a strong scent of Xu's power, which remained on the walls and other places. This gave him the illusion that he seemed to have walked into Xu's lair.
"Newcomer?"
On the first floor of the manor, a young man wearing headphones that looked like white skeletons was shaking his body, and strong vibrating music came from the headphones.
He was immersed in it, but the moment Xu Shen walked in, he turned around, took off his headphones and turned off the music.
Xu Shen couldn't help but take a few more glances at this peculiarly shaped headset. How could such a small thing produce so many noisy sounds?
"Are you interested too? This is the latest product launched by the Steam Association. I stayed up all night to queue up to buy it." The young man smiled and said, "Wait here, I'll notify the boss."
"Yeah, okay." Xu Shen seemed very honest.
The young man called twice using the communicator, then sat down on the sofa, put on his headphones, and continued to immerse himself in it, without entertaining Xu Shen.
Not long after, footsteps were heard.
Three figures came over one after another, led by a tall woman wearing a graceful long dress, with a pretty face and fair skin. The only thing that caught people's attention was that one of her eyeballs reflected a dark purple light, and it moved in a strange way, like a machine.
Xu Shen could tell at a glance that this was a prosthetic eye.
The woman in front of him had obviously suffered a serious injury and lost an eye.
Behind the woman was a burly middle-aged man and a thin and pale young man in casual clothes.
"Sister Xue!"
The young man who was listening to the music with headphones on immediately stood up, turned off his headphones, and said to the woman in front of him with a smile: "The new guy you mentioned is here."
Without him saying anything, the three people's eyes fell on Xu Shen as soon as they appeared.
"Are you Xu Shen?"
The woman came to the sofa in the living room and sat down, pointing to the sofa chair in front of her and said to Xu Shen: "Don't be too nervous, sit down."
Xu Shen immediately came over with his luggage and sat down.
"Director Liu mentioned you to me. You are a natural born with great powers. Director Liu is very optimistic about you and wants to focus on cultivating you..." The woman said slowly with indifferent eyes.
Xu Shen scratched his head. He knew that Director Liu was optimistic about him, and that he was able to be transferred to the second team, obviously thanks to the director.
"But unfortunately."
The woman suddenly changed the subject, staring at Xu Shen calmly, and said, "Being in our first echelon is no joke. No matter how great your potential is or how excellent your qualifications are, if you don't have the ability to stay in the first echelon, we still won't accept you, even if Director Liu asks for it himself."
Xu Shen was stunned.
"That's right. Our team is not like other small teams. We can cram anyone in whenever we want." The burly middle-aged man chuckled. It looked like a smile, but there was no warmth in it.
"When we are in the hunting ruins, the only thing we can rely on is the sword in our hands and the teammates behind us. We will not leave our backs to a young master." The young man wearing headphones said with a smile:
“Those guys in the bureau, when they sit in their offices and type on their mechanical keyboards, never consider how hard we work on the front lines. They only look at our statistics. We can only protect ourselves.”
Xu Shen nodded slightly. He could understand their thoughts.
"Perhaps you will definitely be able to enter the first echelon in the future, and even have the hope of becoming the captain, but I looked at your information and it has only been about half a year since you graduated from the training camp..."
Sister Xue looked at Xu Shen quietly and said, "For Director Liu's sake, I'll give you a chance."
"Um?"
Xu Shen immediately pretended to listen carefully.
"Just hold on in his hands for three minutes and you'll be able to stay." Sister Xue pointed at the young man wearing headphones.
Xu Shen was stunned and couldn't help but look at the young man.
The young man wearing headphones was stunned and said bitterly: " Boss, shouldn't this matter be left to Uncle Ba? I just got my hair done today, I..."
The following words were killed by Sister Xue with a raised eyebrow.
"All right."
The young man with headphones had a bitter face and could only agree dejectedly. He then took off his headphones, carefully put them aside, and said to Xu Shen: "Wait for me to change into my combat uniform."
After saying that, he hurried upstairs.
Soon, he changed into combat uniform and jumped down the stairs.
"bring it on."
The young man drew his sword and shook it at Xu Shen twice: "Do you need some time to warm up?"
"Need not."
Xu Shen put his luggage on the sofa and walked into the living room.
"Should we let them fight outside?" The pale-faced young man whispered beside Sister Xue, "These furniture pieces are all newly bought..."
"No need." Sister Xue waved her hand:
"Break it and buy it later."
"Your name is Xu Shen, right? Xiao Xu, I'll give you a chance to show off. You attack first."
Inside the hall, the young man wearing headphones smiled and spoke with great confidence. After all, he was a veteran member of the first echelon and had been through hundreds of battles. Even if Xu Shen had not been promoted from the second echelon through the backdoor but based on his own abilities, he was confident that he could easily defeat him.
Those guys have no idea what it takes to be so strong and experienced to fight C-level Ruins so often!
"Yes, thank you."
Xu Shen didn't dare to be careless and slowly walked towards the other party.
The young man with headphones was stunned when he saw Xu Shen approaching cautiously.
You...are planning to attack?
But did you forget to draw your sword? !
Seeing Xu Shen approaching cautiously like he was exploring the way, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. This scene was so stupid no matter how he looked at it. How powerful is this guy's backing? How dare he come to the first echelon like this? !
Do you really think their team is for retirement?
The name of the Longevity Team was not gained by shrinking, but earned through fighting!
“If you continue like this, you might not be able to handle a single move.” The young man with headphones shook his head, a little impatient to wait.
"I'll try my best." Xu Shen blushed a little.
The young man with headphones was itching to wait and wanted to end this ridiculous test right away, but he had already said it and it was not easy for him to go back on his word in front of others. He could only wait for Xu Shen to approach slowly like a thief.
"Has it started yet?"
The young man with headphones felt helpless when he saw Xu Shen so close to him.
"Xiao Gu!"
Sister Xue’s expression changed slightly.
As helplessness appeared on the face of the young man wearing headphones, a hint of snow-white light was reflected in his pupils. The light approached in an instant, but disappeared in an instant.
He was stunned for a moment. Was it just an illusion?
He saw Xu Shen holding the sword and returning to the slot behind him. He felt more and more that it was an illusion and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you attack?"
Xu Shen was stunned, and showed a puzzled look: "Doesn't this count?"
"Um?"
The young man with headphones was confused.
"you lose."
At this time, Sister Xue's voice came from the side coldly: "When did you learn to be so careless? Just because the opponent is not Xu, can you underestimate him?!"
The young man with headphones was stunned. Seeing that Sister Xue was angry with him, he immediately realized something. He then saw Uncle Ba beside Sister Xue touching his bald head.
He was stunned for a moment, touched his hair, and suddenly felt a cold spot.
There was a spot on his head, but it was empty!
