Chapter 202 Sect Assessment!
"Here are several sizes of barbells. Try lifting them, starting with 100 pounds."
The staff led everyone to an open space and pointed to a pile of barbells of different sizes.
Nako looked in the direction the other person was pointing.
I saw more than a dozen metal barbells neatly arranged on the ground.
Numbers are engraved on the barbell handle.
Nako happened to recognize the numbers on them.
The weights are 100 jin, 150 jin...500 jin, and the largest is 1000 jin!
Soon, everyone began to try it out one by one as instructed.
The staff members were taking notes on paper, recording the data for each examinee.
He would nod in satisfaction at those who performed well, and wave them aside if they performed poorly.
The younger the age, the heavier the barbell they can lift, indicating more amazing talent.
Those over thirty years old have basically exhausted their talent and have little value for further development.
"Not bad!" At this moment, the staff member looked at a burly man and smiled with satisfaction.
"Brother Tie Tou is really amazing! Congratulations!"
"Yes, Brother Tietou! Don't forget us when you become a master blacksmith!"
Everyone around them bowed and congratulated him, their flattery reaching its peak.
Dozens of people signed up today, but he's the only one who can lift a 500-pound barbell!
It's easy to see that this burly man truly has reason to be proud.
With such excellent results, once you enter the training area, you will definitely receive special attention and training.
In the future, I can at least become a level 3 or 4 blacksmith!
"Of course, of course! I hope you will all guide me in the future! Hehehe!" The burly man cupped his hands to the crowd and laughed smugly.
As he spoke, he strode into the crowd with an air of indifference.
Looking at the short-haired, spirited beauty beside him, standing at 1.7 meters tall, the burly man grinned and teased, "How about it? Little sister, I'm pretty amazing, aren't I?"
As he spoke, he even showed off his muscular biceps.
"Hmph! Idiot!" Nako snorted, not wanting to pay any attention to this fool.
"Hey...do you have bad eyesight?"
The burly man wasn't annoyed that the tall girl ignored him, but seeing her walk straight towards the barbell, ignoring the hundred-odd pounds of weight, he quickly reminded her.
"With your skinny arms and legs, you shouldn't try to be strong. You probably couldn't even lift 100 pounds. You might as well just go home..."
He felt a pang of regret; the girl was beautiful and had such a great figure, but unfortunately... she was blind.
However, before he could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened and his mouth gaped open.
Then... the tall, short-haired girl walked straight to the 1000-pound barbell.
With both hands gripping the meter-long handle, he casually lifted it above his head.
"Great! Great!" The staff member taking notes immediately brightened up and said "Great!" twice.
Completely ignoring everyone else, he quickly recorded the tall girl's score.
Because the heaviest barbell we prepared was only 1000 jin (500 catties).
Therefore, he recorded the girl's weight as over 1000 pounds!
"Hiss~ How is this possible? Am I seeing a ghost?" The burly man watched as the girl slowly walked back into the crowd, and... the girl's handsome face, full of heroic spirit, was not even red or out of breath.
So...they didn't even put in much effort? How is that possible?
It's obvious that this girl has amazing talent!
According to the rules set by the city lord, anyone who can't even lift a 300-pound barbell will be eliminated.
Because Dragon City will be following an elite path from now on, and will not accept those with poor talent.
Moreover... Xiao Yu directly adopted the formula from the fantasy novels of his previous life.
A talent capable of lifting 300 jin (150 catties) is acceptable; one could be considered an outer disciple.
They are taught by 1st or 2nd rank blacksmiths in the forging area.
If a burly man can lift more than 500 jin (250 catties), he is considered to have excellent talent and is an inner disciple.
It was guided by dozens of 3rd and 4th level blacksmiths, including Tie Nan.
The burly man thought he was already incredibly powerful.
But I never expected that the little girl next to me would be so terrifying!
Anyone capable of lifting over 1,000 jin (approximately 500 kg) is at least a strength-type mutant, or even an awakened being...
This is a true genius, qualified to become a core disciple!
According to the staff, only core disciples can be personally taught by Chu Ling Shuang, the forging master!
At the entrance to the forging area, Nan Yun paced back and forth, occasionally peering inside.
"Mother!" At that moment, her daughter's familiar voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, her daughter Nako ran out of the forging area.
"Success?" Seeing his daughter's beaming face, Nan Yun immediately guessed what had happened.
"Of course!"
Nako, abandoning her previous aloof demeanor, raised her chin and said, "Don't you even know who your daughter is? Let me tell you, out of the 20 of us who went in together, only 5 passed. Moreover, I am the number one among all the examinees and will become Miss Ling Shuang's only personal disciple!"
"Really? You can learn forging from Miss Ling Shuang?"
Even though Nagumo had some suspicions, he was still very excited.
My daughter has always wanted to learn forging from Miss Ling Shuang, and now her dream has finally come true.
"Mother, let's hurry up and pack up and move into the forging area." After a moment of excitement, Nako grabbed her mother's hand and said as they walked towards the Dragon Gate Inn.
"What? Living in the forging area?"
“Yes! The staff said that Longcheng will arrange dormitories for us. During the study period, we can bring our families to stay in the dormitories.” Nako’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"Oh, oh..." Upon hearing this, Nan Yun nodded repeatedly.
She kept thinking about learning forging, but forgot that learning forging is a long process.
It can take anywhere from three to five years to a few months.
So, does that mean anyone who passes the test can live in Dragon City?
In that case, wouldn't my daughter be able to stay in Longcheng for a long time?
“Mother, the staff also said that after the trade fair ends, Dragon City will be leaving Sunset Mountain Range, and they told us to pack our things quickly,” Nako reminded her mother, remembering what the staff had said.
“We have nothing to pack up. Your father died fighting for the tribe, and after his death, our lives in the tribe have become worse day by day. So, there is nothing in the tribe that we are attached to. If you want to move, we can move now.”
"Really? That's great! I can't wait!"
After discussing it, the mother and daughter quickly returned to the Dragon Gate Inn.
In the wasteland, the most valuable things are usually what you carry with you.
So, after packing a few personal belongings, the two checked out and headed straight for the forging area!
There are many other cases similar to Nako's.
There were quite a few people participating in the assessment today, numbering in the hundreds.
But less than a third of them were ultimately approved.
Each person contributes 100 energy stones, so 100 people would contribute 10,000 energy stones.
Originally, many people were even willing to pay 1000 energy stones as tuition just to study in Dragon City.
However, they were all ultimately turned away.
After all, the elite academy that Longcheng built was about building a brand reputation.
The people we recruit now are all carefully selected, and they all have good talent and character.
If some useless people join, it will only weaken the overall quality of the trainees.
