After the greeting barrage, the mockery ensued.
"You want to join the Dinsional Limit chanism? Don’t you have any self-awareness?"
"Why would they recruit you, to watch you kneel and beg in front of criminals?"
"Betting a spicy strip, you’ll definitely be eliminated."
"Everyone be polite, otherwise there’s no fun to watch."
This close-quarter mockery made Jiang Siqi’s eyebrow twitch, but recalling her sponsor’s presence, she imdiately restrained her emotions, treating them as insignificant noise.
The line moved forward slowly, with buzzing sounds constantly emanating from up ahead.
She interacted with her fans while observing the screen—a prerequisite for joining the Dinsional Limit chanism was having abilities, so the preliminary screening, like previous tests, required standing inside a device resembling a security gate for a mont, and the panel above the gate would report a score. The baseline was 50, with no upper limit; scores below 50 indicated a very low probability of possessing any abilities.
The buzzing electronic sound ca from the detection gate.
Through the large screen, it could be seen that registrants’ scores were mostly above 50, with so exceeding 100, indicating they weren’t just curious visitors trying to see if they had abilities but generally knew they possessed and could use abilities.
Last ti she tested at 52 points, just over the line.
As for the detection principles and who invented these machines, Jiang Siqi had no idea.
On the other side, Chen Xuan posed the sa question.
"How does this thing evaluate abilities?"
"No clue, it’s company tech too." Lin Qing truthfully replied, "All I know is that early detection tech was quite primitive, only able to roughly judge if one had abilities and their strength. To specifically determine a Wanderer’s abilities, mainly relied on inquiry."
Torture and truth serum-assisted inquiries, right?
Therefore, Fei Wuniang was indeed treated well by them after being captured, leaving records in the database.
"No wonder you’re looking to apply. Turns out they can’t precisely discern your abilities..."
"Exactly. That’s why I said it’s the rare flaw that the chanism shows—the employees aren’t criminals lurking in the shadows, they at least can’t openly use coercion to force applicants to disclose truth." Lin Qing said, munching on chips, "Of course, the chanism isn’t completely incapable of discerning abilities... after all, this is just a branch, even those devices recording intrusion shock waves are likely imitations of headquarters’ machines."
In other words, if enemies get suspicious, taking people to headquarters for inspection isn’t impossible.
"And later stages?"
"Then it splits... we stop relying on abilities, fighting with prosthetics instead." Lin Qing replied.
...
At this mont, Jiang Siqi finally reached the front of the line.
"I rember she barely made the pass line last ti?"
"Quickly step up, let’s see if you’ve improved."
"Unless your determination shattered in these days, and you’ve regressed!"
The mocking barrage peaked during this ti.
She took a deep breath, walking into the detector. Waiting a full ten seconds with no sign, causing her a pause-ti illusion, as if the wait had been years long.
When the buzzing finally sounded, the surrounding erupted in surprised discussions.
Eager to move through the machine, Jiang Siqi turned to find the screen showing 178! She wasn’t the first over 100; others barely exceeded, while her number was nearly hitting 200!
The chest cara caught the mont too.
The barrage exploded!
"This machine must be broken!"
"She pulled it off, others failed, being overrun by a rookie!"
"Magical Girl rules!"
"Wow, that’s my idol’s strength! It’s still ti to apologize!"
"Looks familiar..." People around scrutinized her, "Wasn’t she on that accident-prone variety show, nad Si Tian?"
Pressing her pounding heart, Jiang Siqi pretended not to hear, moving to the next test table—the recent gloom swept away, her steps felt incredibly light.
The second preliminary step was simple, completing a registration form, photograph, and ID copy... sa as ordinary recruitnt.
Jiang Siqi noted the form required honest declarations of abilities, awakening ti, and usage cost (if any), just reading through the content seed professional.
It was her first ti hearing that using abilities entailed a cost.
Swiftly, she completed the form... Jiang Siqi disclosed three abilities truthfully, except for awakening ti, lying that they awakened alongside her Fla Magic.
Of course, viewers didn’t see the filling process.
Handing over docunts, she was directed to a tent for a short wait, where prior gate-passers gathered.
Entering the tent, eyes turned her way, with looks both familiar and uncertain. In a way, they’re competitors yet peers, creating an odd atmosphere.
Fortunately, awkwardness didn’t last long, soon an attractive young man approached, "Thank you for waiting, I’m Wang Baihu, and next nas I call have passed the preliminary, follow to the next stage."
And the first na he announced was Jiang Siqi!
She felt so moved, almost tearful.
Endless exams and contests since childhood, always at low ranks, though striving hard never matched those gifted ones. Unexpectedly, at the chanism’s recruitnt her chance to lead! Despite just being one of the first across the preliminary, and with days left in the event, it was gratifying.
The stream began shifting too.
More viewers turned to support her, even occasional mockers were quickly drowned.
The second round took place inside the job market’s large conference hall.
The format was unexpectedly written test.
"Greetings, everyone!" A man in a pink suit stood onstage, warmly greeting, "Let briefly introduce myself, I am Xiao Canong, the Jiang City branch’s head of the Dinsional Limit chanism! Whether you pass the assessnt to join, it’s up to ! My most admired trait is honesty, so this test’s core is being truthful!"
"Help! His taste is oddly peculiar."
"Is the chanism capable, with him handling recruitnt?"
"Get him offstage, the earlier guy seed fine, call him back!"
"Agreed!"
The audience flooded with critique.
A recruit loudly asked, "Mr. Xiao, are there no restrictions to this test?"
"None whatsoever." Xiao Canong smiled, "Use phones, AI, even collaborate! Only requirent, honesty in all answers. You have 30 minutes, hurry before the next batch arrives."
Jiang Siqi received her paper.
Since there seed no anti-cheating intent, she imdiately aid the cara at the paper.
Ten questions total, keen viewers wrote the first on the barrage.
"Do you think Ability Users differ from ordinary people? If so, which excels?"
Thank goodness, not advanced calculus.
Jiang Siqi relaxed, though graduating in June, she seed to forget everything taught.
"Your thoughts? Any scholars help answer!" She whispered into the cara.
An influx of diverse answers hit the screen.
Jiang Siqi wouldn’t copy a viewer’s response, rely engaging with atmosphere. Regarding answering, she’d follow the man in pink’s advice—answering with sincerity.
