Chapter 606: Assessment
Chapter 606: Assessment
After observing Chao Ming, Zhuang Guanli brought Chen Chuan to the simulation area, where a screen displayed a simulated combat scenario of Chao Ming, generated by a dormant consciousness entity.
Chen Chuan witnessed Chao Ming soaring through the sky, suddenly receiving a signal, and swiftly locking onto a ground-based armed target. With a dive, he descended rapidly like lightning, attacking and tearing apart the target before swiftly ascending again.
The entire process was fluid and rhythmically brisk, showcasing Chao Ming's agility and ferocity. And the transformed organisms involved were all marked with red light, indicating their function."
Zhuang Guanli explained, "Supervisor Chen, this simulation is calculated by our company's active consciousness entity, and it basically demonstrates the abilities your pet will possess as it grows.
If you wish, we can implant link-style domain creatures into your pet, allowing you to communicate with it even in the wild, sending precise commands from afar."
"Alternatively, you can use tools for verbal communication, but this method lacks stealth. However, your pet's transformed organism has excellent vision. If you establish gestures, actions, or info cards in advance, it can still understand your commands. We can assist with the training if you require it."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the screen displayed a tutorial video.
Chen Chuan saw recordings of training sessions, where "info cards" were colorful cards with clear instructions to prevent confusion. Pets could be trained to recognize the meaning of each card, ensuring they followed their owner's commands.
However, the system was limited to simple commands, as more complex instructions were beyond the pet's understanding.
Zhuang Guanli added, "Supervisor Chen, after your pet emerges, it will require further training. Our company has tailored a set of training techniques based on your pet's transformed organism, which you can use with confidence.
But please note that the growth of the transformed organism will occur in two main stages.
In the first stage, after the basic formation of the transformed organism, it will enter a new growth phase. The size may increase slightly, but not excessively. For instance, your pet will likely grow to its adult size."
"The second stage is our Wingblade Nucleus Corporation's proprietary technology, similar to a fighter's limit growth. The transformed organism will further develop, and if it reaches this stage, it can surpass its original life limits."
Chen Chuan asked, "How long will it take?"
"Each biological individual is unique," Zhuang Guanli replied. "Our company has conducted a thorough analysis of your pet, and if we follow the cultivation plan, it will take approximately three to six months."
Chen Chuan nodded slightly, thinking that this timeframe wasn't too long. After all, these creatures had short life cycles, and without quickly breaking through their limits, the initial investment would be wasted.
He paused for thought and asked, "Is there any other cost for such rapid growth?"
Zhuang Guanli smiled and assured him, "Supervisor Chen, we use our company's newly developed gentle drugs, which won't forcefully deplete the creature's potential."
In reality, it was primarily a matter of investment. As long as clients were willing to pay the price, the company could provide the best resources and technology.
"However, in the second stage, both the pet's physical characteristics and growth remain within control. But if it reaches the third stage, it will no longer be limited by the company's growth plan. At that point, it relies on the creature's natural growth.
Few creatures can grow to this extent because they act on instinct and can only accept customized training from their owners. Breaking through limits is a highly personal endeavor, requiring the creature to adjust and grow from within, which is extremely challenging."
Chen Chuan inquired, "Are there precedents for such breakthroughs?"
"There are many, but most occur due to fortunate circumstances.
According to our data, the highest proportion of these cases is in the Samawoga region. This is because of the concentrated investment in modified creatures and the frequent wars there, leading to the emergence of exceptional individuals beyond the group."
Zhuang Guanli smiled, "Supervisor Chen, your pet is very intelligent, and it might surpass this limit."
This was a polite statement, as reaching this stage could provide the company with an opportunity to advance to the next level. They might even pay for tracking, monitoring, and research.
In the current era, the entire world is under immense pressure, forcing progress. Creatures seek breakthroughs on their own, and companies strive for technological advancements."
Chen Chuan understood that this would be challenging, similar to a fighter's upward growth, relying on personal talent and luck without a comprehensive system.
However, if Chao Ming could break free from its original life constraints, that would be a significant achievement, and he wouldn't ask for more. "Let's leave it to nature then."
After meeting with Chao Ming, Chen Chuan left the Wingblade Nucleus Corporation with Zhuang Guanli, who bid him farewell with a smile as he entered the vehicle.
Chen Chuan nodded in response and then instructed the driver, "Take me back to Wu Yi Academy."
The armored convoy slowly started, heading towards the direction of the Wu Yi Academy.
As Chen Chuan gazed at the passing scenery outside, he thought to himself that Chao Ming would be able to leave in a few days. In that case, he could take him along when he returned to Yangzhi. After all, three months was not too long or too short, and it would be better to have him by his side.
Upon returning to the academy, Chen Chuan went to his dormitory and accessed the Wu Yi platform. He submitted his application for teaching qualifications and then proceeded to the training room.
Only half an hour had passed when a message arrived through the Intercom, informing him that the academy had approved his application. He was requested to choose a time for the assessment.
"So soon?" Chen Chuan was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected a response so quickly after submitting his application. He thought it was likely due to his current status.
He checked the response and saw that he could participate in the assessment at 1:00 PM or 5:00 PM every day, starting from the following day.
After some consideration, Chen Chuan decided to schedule the assessment for the next afternoon and continued with his cultivation for the rest of the day.
The next day, after the morning's routine training, Chen Chuan took a short rest and consumed a few nutrient paste sticks. When the time approached, he changed into a new set of clothes and made his way to the assessment location on the 75th floor.
Upon arrival, he noticed a few people waiting there, and one of them caught him slightly off guard. When this person saw Chen Chuan, he smiled and greeted him, "Supervisor Chen."
Chen Chuan replied, "So, it's Assistant Ling. Are you in charge of the assessment?"
Assistant Ling smiled and said, "Not me. Although I'd like to test Supervisor Chen's current strength, the academy has its rules and will only assign suitable assessors."
In a 16-9-1-book-1-look-no-1-wrong version!
Assistant Ling gestured towards someone and said, "This time, the assessment will be conducted by Teacher Yang, who is standing next to me."
Teacher Yang was a tall and slender man in his thirties. He proactively greeted Chen Chuan, "Supervisor Chen, I'm Yang Jianying, and I'll be assessing you today."
Chen Chuan politely responded, "Hello, Teacher Yang."
Teacher Yang smiled and nodded. Although he was the assessor, he felt a bit nervous facing Chen Chuan. As he stood before Chen Chuan, he could clearly sense the gap between them.
Before coming, Teacher Yang had reviewed Chen Chuan's records and was amazed by his many battle records. Especially the recent incident where he had split the Skywheel with a single strike—that was the strength of an Execution Captain in the Handling Bureau. He was undoubtedly a fighter who had mastered Heart Energy.
To be honest, assessing such a person was a challenging task for anyone. But since the academy had assigned him, he had no choice but to take on the responsibility.
Chen Chuan could discern from Teacher Yang's aura that he was an ordinary Third Limit Fighter. His strength was probably at the level of Wu Wusheng before he had mastered the integration of hard and soft techniques.
His strength was not bad, but for a typical assessment, it was unlikely that Teacher Yang would be able to test Chen Chuan thoroughly. It wasn't that Chen Chuan underestimated him, but the difference in their basic qualities was too vast for Teacher Yang to pose any real threat. Even if Chen Chuan stood still and allowed Teacher Yang to attack, he wouldn't be able to cause much harm.
However, with Assistant Ling's presence, Chen Chuan felt that the assessment might not be as straightforward as it seemed.
Assistant Ling smiled and said, "Supervisor Chen, this is an assessment, not a direct fight, so please don't take it lightly." Then, he spoke to an empty space in front of him, "Red Whirlwind, please display the assessment content to both of us."
Red Whirlwind's voice echoed, "Alright."
Neither Chen Chuan nor Teacher Yang had prior knowledge of the assessment content or questions. As Red Whirlwind's voice sounded, the assessment details were transmitted to both of their Intercoms.
Teacher Yang glanced at the information and felt a surge of confidence. He looked at Assistant Ling and thought that this assessment played to his strengths. With this setup, he might have a chance.
He turned to Chen Chuan and said, "Supervisor Chen, do you have any objections to the assessment content? If not, shall we begin now?"
Chen Chuan examined the content and showed no discernible reaction. He nodded and said, "Teacher Yang, I have no issues here."
Teacher Yang acknowledged and said, "Red Whirlwind, change the assessment scene."
In an instant, the surroundings began to transform. The environment around the two men changed into a dense forest, with the light becoming extremely dim. The tree leaves above blocked out the sunlight, and the ground was covered in a soft layer of humus. Only the occasional sounds of birds and insects could be heard.
At the same time, Teacher Yang's figure disappeared from in front of Chen Chuan.
