Chapter 114 (2/2)

There were a lot of people watching the show here, and Bai Jing’s team naturally attracted a lot of attention. Luckily, Bai Jing didn’t let them down. As soon as they arrived at the guarded entrance, the team neatly got out of the cars at the same time, their momentum grand. Just as people began to speculate on whether or not this team that appeared to be pretty good would be able to enter, they saw a graceful and refined person step forward and wave the document in their hands. That person then turned to Bai Jing and asked, “May I ask if you are Young Master Bai?”

Bai Jing frowned without confirming or denying it, “Who are you?”

“Hello, Young Master Bai. Mr. Bai sent to me to pick you up?”

“Proof.”

“Mr. Bai showed me your picture, and also––” The person who had come over gave a good-tempered smile and stretched out his right hand to reveal a watch-like wrist guard on his wrist. “This is my communicator. Wait a moment, I will contact Mr. Bai.”

Having said so, he pressed down on the surface several times, and Bai Jingcheng’s voice emerged from the wrist guard soon after. Bai Jing’s eyes widened as he saw something new. By this time in his last life, he had already departed from the Capital a long time ago. He hadn’t expected the Capital’s development to be so fast.

“Is it Little Jing? Father will come over in a little while. You should go ahead and register with Little Lin first. If you need anything, just tell him. Father will help you arrange it.”

Bai Jing’s lips twitched. After making an affirmative, “Oh!” sound, the communication was quickly terminated. Little Lin asked them to park their cars to the side, then took them directly to the inspection office. He patiently explained, “You must go through inspection before entering the base. Even Mr. Bai isn’t exempt from this treatment. Please wait here a little while.”

After entering the inspection office, Bai Jing felt like a country bumpkin once again. In the empty room, other than a desk, there were only two metal instruments that were about the height of the door and covered with colourful lights. The equipment was manned by two staff members and surrounded by an armed guard who was there in case of sudden outbursts or unexpected events.

Bai Jing stepped back and pushed the people next to him forward. Wu Guoan choked for a second, then took the lead in walking forward. He secretly felt a little depressed inside; didn’t this mean he was being used as a guinea pig?

Xiao Sa was amused but did not say much. He also wanted to see what the instrument did. In the past year or so, they had visited many places, but normally, when they went to a new base and needed to be inspected, they either had to take off their clothes or wait for seven days. They had never seen such high-tech equipment before.

Wu Guoan stepped up in front of the machinery, and the staff arranged for him to stand in place before pressing a button. All the lights on the machine went out, and only one laser beam remained as it scanned him from top to bottom. Soon after, the machine beeped, and three brown lights lit up on the left, while a row of green lights lip up on the right.

The staff members weren’t surprised by the results. They pointed to the desk and said lightly, “Okay, earth ability user, level three, in good health. Go ahead and register.”

Wu Guoan was tongue-tied; he hadn’t expected that it would be so simple. Xiao Sa’s expression didn’t change, and he was able to keep his equanimity, but Bai Jing considered things more deeply. A third level ability user couldn’t be considered a low rank, but the staff’s attitude was too ordinary, as though they had seen level three ability users everywhere.

Bai Jing found it difficult to remain calm. They had spent the entire trip trying to strengthen themselves and improve their power so that they could be full of confidence when they arrived at the Capital and wouldn’t be underestimated, but who could’ve known…

What was wrong with this world???

Bai Jing’s heart sank, but he did not worry for long­­––

Following that, another person stood in front of the instrument, and two long lines formed behind the two pieces of machinery. Other than their group, there were also other individual mercenary teams who were returning from their hunting trips outside.

The staff member’s voice continued…

“Fire ability user, level three, healthy.”

Following one inspection after another, Bai Jing discovered that there were also several level three ability users in the other mercenary regiments. He had thought that their team would have a very dominant position, but unexpectedly the others weren’t bad either. He really suffered a mental hit, but compared to Bai Jing’s frustration, in fact, the staff members and mercenaries around him were even more surprised. Level two ability users were common, but it was unusual for there to be so many of them in a team.

Bai Jing felt really dissatisfied and was unwilling to go up. He was extremely depressed; although there were advantages to using such equipment, this kind of examination left them with no secrets.

Bai Jing’s expression was ugly. When it was his turn, he tested as a level three space ability user, and then it was someone else’s turn. Little Lin pushed up the glasses on his nose, and the gaze he used to look at Bai Jing turned a little more cautious.

It wasn’t until the instrument tested seven level four ability users in a row that noise burst out around them. Even the eyes of the staff shone brilliantly, but then Xiao Sa finally went up and stood steadily in front of the instrument, his expression cold and solemn. Five golden lights lit up, and it was particularly dazzling.

“Oh my God! A level five ability user.”

“It’s a level five metal ability user.”
