Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 9 Two Invitations
"This is... too exaggerated!"
"Investigators are, after all, public positions among public positions, and they are currently the only way to get in touch with supernatural powers. It's normal to have more people."
Ye Luo needs to be much calmer.
He should have been surprised, as he had been surprised in the past few days.
What's more, he is already the legendary awakener, so he is not anxious or impatient, and his mentality is naturally stable.
"However, don't be fooled by the large number of people here. I estimate that 99% of them are here to watch the fun."
"Huh? Why?"
"Didn't you watch the press conference yesterday? Investigators are the group of people with the greatest chance of gaining extraordinary powers, but they also bear heavy responsibilities. They are the warriors stationed on the front line to fight against evil."
Extraordinary powers are very tempting, and many people want to open the door to a new world.
But at the same time, there are also many people who are cautious, worried and afraid.
Or maybe they have poor physical fitness and know they have no hope... The spokesperson of the Investigation Bureau clearly stated that recruitment considers comprehensive quality, but athletic level accounts for a large proportion of this comprehensive quality.
This is enough to eliminate 90% of college students.
Ye Luo believed that if he had not awakened and was just an ordinary , he would be like everyone else, yearning for extraordinary powers but... not having the courage to take this step.
It's different now.
I am already standing at the end of many people's dreams. It depends on the situation whether I want to apply for the investigator or not.
He turned his head and asked, "Fan, are you really going to apply for the job?"
His eyes moved slightly downwards and landed on Wang Fan's conspicuous little belly.
It’s not that he doubted, it’s that he simply... didn’t think Wang Fan could pass the test.
Wang Fan patted his belly, "Why not go? This is a chance for the protagonist to transform into a dragon! Even if we analyze it rationally, today is the first time the Investigation Bureau is open for recruitment. As long as we can get in, we will definitely be trained as a key person, and awakening is just around the corner !"
Oh, yes, yes!
That's right, provided you can pass the test.
"Let's go, let's go and sign up. Let's fight together and reach the top of the world."
…
The Bureau's job fair was held in a large gymnasium in the university town.
The testing location was inside the gymnasium, and only those who had registered could enter. Outside was a crowd of college students and other onlookers.
Ye Luo also saw quite a few reporters with cameras and long guns.
This scene is really exaggerated.
It’s only half past seven!
When it was exactly eight o'clock, the job fair began. Ye Luo had already familiarized himself with the job fair process - it was naturally different from a normal job fair.
"First, you have to register. Then, you have to go into the gymnasium in batches of 60 people to take the Investigation Bureau's recruitment assessment. It's an on-site assessment. One of the assessments is definitely related to physical fitness, but I'm not sure about the rest."
Ye Luo pondered.
Since Wang Fan really wants to join the Investigation Bureau, as his old father, Ye Luo naturally hopes that Wang Fan can wake up, so he must do everything he can to help him.
The competition has already begun.
Although he still didn't think that Wang Fan could pass it with his useless physique.
Ye Luo's eyes flickered, and he grabbed Wang Fan and said, "Don't worry, if you want a better chance of passing, just listen to me."
He pointed into the distance.
At this time, there were crowds of people outside the gymnasium , but not many people actually took action and came forward to sign up.
Many people are still watching and hesitating.
Or maybe they never thought about signing up, and just wanted to come here to watch the awakened ones, but after looking around, they all have the same head and two hands, there is nothing different.
This situation is similar to what Ye Luo expected.
"Not many people take this step. Under the current circumstances, if you sign up, you will have to wait a while before it's your turn. In this case, why don't we let others explore the way first and see what the selection of investigators is like."
"We can't see the scene inside the stadium, but we can just wait for the people inside to come out."
"What if they don't tell us?" Wang Fan asked.
Ye Luo pointed to the reporters in the distance and said, "They will ask for us."
Then he took out his cell phone and turned on a TV program. What was being broadcasted was the scene happening right here - the Baiyun University Town Investigation Bureau job fair, live broadcast!
You don’t even have to get close, you can get the general pattern of the assessment by watching the live broadcast on your phone.
Wang Fan was surprised, "You are so cunning!"
"Isn't it all for your own good?!"
"That's right, Dad is very pleased."
"Get lost!"
The first group of sixty people entered, and about ten minutes later, the second group of registered students also entered the gymnasium, and after a while, the third group came.
At this time, the first batch of students who registered came out.
Ye Luo counted and found that all sixty people were here, but they were covered in sweat and many of them looked pale.
Looks like he's tired and scared?
While they were thinking, reporters and cameramen swarmed over, handing microphones forward, almost confusing the students.
When have they ever been treated like this?
The examinees' pale faces, as if they were exhausted, still frightened some people, and many students who had been hesitating backed off.
Wang Fan is super brave.
Ye Luo is confident in himself. Since he has made up his mind to improve himself, he is naturally not afraid of a mere assessment.
Both of them signed up and soon followed the same group of students taking the exam into the gymnasium.
"There are three tests in total. The first one is to stretch out your hands and touch the strange stone in front of you one by one."
"Is this the legendary treasure that can detect spiritual roots?"
"Maybe it's some kind of talent test! It's a bit magical!"
"Examiner, can you tell me what this is?"
Pairs of eyes looked at the strange stone in front of them with curiosity.
This is a gray stone. It looks very rough at first glance, but it seems crystal clear upon closer inspection, which is quite magical.
Within the investigation bureau, this strange stone was named "Mysterious Fusion Stone" and was intended to test a person's acceptance of mysterious energy.
People are different. Some people are naturally more likely to attract mystery and have an extraordinary speed in accumulating mystery value.
Such people are not necessarily gifted, but on the overall level, their talents as “mysterious attractors” are much higher than those of “mysterious insulators”. At the very least, they are the type of people who are easier to awaken.
In this way, one can roughly judge a person's natural talent.
Not necessarily accurate, but still amazing.
Investigator Jiang Feng also found it very magical. After all, their Baiyun Prefecture branch had just received this batch of strange stones from the headquarters a few days ago.
And he heard that this did not seem to be a product of the institute.
But it comes from a mysterious cooperative organization.
Is it possible that in Donghuang, besides the Investigation Bureau, Research Institute, and Special Operations Team, there is a more mysterious department?
Probably, yes.
Because he heard that there was a very precious training opportunity at the headquarters to go to a mysterious place for further studies.
However, for a second-level investigator like him, it was too far away.
Work hard.
Jiang Feng shook his head and kept silent without answering any of the questions from the curious young people in front of him.
One student realized, "Maybe this is a secret of the Investigation Bureau. We will know it when we become investigators."
No, it can't.
Jiang Feng complained.
He is the investigator, but not only him, but also his boss and his boss's boss were as surprised as he was when they first received this batch of special equipment.
"Time is running out, hurry up and test it."
One by one, the male and female college students, either curious or nervous, reached out and held the gray strange stone in front of them. After waiting for two or three seconds, a faint light began to bloom from the translucent stone.
Whether it is bright or dark, everyone has light.
"It turns out that everyone can shine. I thought I had a good talent."
The first person to take the test hung his head.
When Ye Luo tested it, the light he produced was already quite bright. He was still trying his best to restrain the energy stirring in his body. His intuition told him that it could be even brighter, very brighter.
But being too bright is not good. In this dangerous world, only by keeping a low profile can you live long.
Even now, Ye Luo felt it was too bright, and the examiner looked at him sideways.
What surprised him was that the light emitted by Wang Fan was also very bright.
Is there really a chance for this guy to pass?
…
"Fuck it, I can't take it anymore, son, help me up."
"Get lost."
Having said that, Ye Luo still held on to classmate Wang Fan, whose legs were weak.
They had just walked out of the small dark room for the second test.
As for what was in the small dark room, no one could tell, but they just felt terrified, as if they were being stared at by a giant beast and a devil was whispering in their ears.
This test left them confused and they had no idea whether it was good or bad.
Then, after a short break, they started the last test, which was simple and crude, requiring them to run ten laps around the playground.
"Ten laps, I... Damn it!"
Classmate Wang FanOrz.
When Ye Luo finished running slowly, he found that although Wang Fan was as tired as a dead dog and had only run less than half the distance, he actually gritted his teeth and persevered.
This tenacity and persistence...really burns fat.
…
"But I still haven't finished ten laps. Damn it!"
"If the examiner hadn't called a halt, I, Emperor Wang Fan, would have definitely finished the race... God knows there's a time limit!"
Wang Fan was lying on the bed, half tired and the other half also tired.
I am tired physically and mentally.
He felt like he was gone.
Of course, there is no immediate result on whether the recruitment is passed. According to the investigator, a notification will be sent out around the evening. No matter whether you pass or fail, you will receive a text message. Just be patient and wait.
Time is ticking away.
Wang Fan became more and more nervous, and even Ye Luo was a little nervous. He must have been infected.
Not only the two of them, but dozens of people who have registered in the dormitory building are now anxiously waiting.
Sudden,
“Ding Dong~!”
The phone vibrated slightly, and everyone received the same text message.
Text messages with the special logo of the Investigation Bureau.
"I'm dead!"
“Wuwuwu…”
"It's really hard to get into the Investigation Bureau."
"Has our entire building been wiped out?"
In the corridor, students were howling.
Wang Fan trembled, opened his text message, and was suddenly stunned.
On it was an envelope that was different from the others.
[Mr. Wang Fan, you have passed the preliminary assessment and review. Congratulations on becoming a glorious trainee investigator. Please go to the designated location at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to participate in the investigator training.]
"It's over, it's over!"
"Ye Zai, I passed! Hahahaha——"
"Look at yours!"
Wang Fan was so excited that he couldn't control himself and began to feel nervous for his good brother.
But Ye Luo was very fierce during the assessment, so there should be no problem.
He leaned forward to take a look.
Ye Luo also opened the text message, and as expected, it was an invitation letter for training camp.
This was expected and he was not surprised at all.
But wait, why is there another text message?
It’s also an invitation!
An invitation letter with mysterious and profound patterns was slowly opened in front of the two people.
