Chapter 312 Strength Test
"I'm here," Elbert said, strolling out with his hands behind his back.
Meanwhile, a guy in a suit was losing his cool in the distance.
This dude was holding the 48th entry ticket.
The rich kid cursed, "Damn it! This punk had the nerve to mess with me. He was first in line and still bid against me, making me waste 6 million bucks!"
The hot-headed rich kid couldn't take it anymore and was about to step forward!
The on-site supervisor barked, "All testers, keep quiet. Anyone causing trouble will be disqualified!"
The rich kid had to back off, fuming with anger!
His eyes flashed with a cold glint. "You jerk, don't let me catch you again, or I'll break your legs!"
Other testers were giving Elbert weird looks, thinking he was way too skinny.
More importantly, the strength test had just been reinforced!
Everyone seemed to foresee Elbert walking out all defeated!
But Elbert slowly walked into the testing hall.
He was the calmest one there!
Elbert scanned the room. He noticed the staff were half Veridianians and half foreigners.
It was Veridiania, after all. Even BioGen Innovations probably couldn't fully privatize this place!
At the first checkpoint, a foreign doctor in a white coat and mask looked at Elbert's info and said flatly, "Mr. Perry, the first step is a blood test."
Elbert shook his head slightly, "I checked the instructions. This step can be skipped, right?"
The foreign doctor suddenly looked up. He had tested thousands of applicants, and every one of them followed the procedure respectfully.
This was the first time he saw someone not playing by the rules!
"Let me make it clear, if you skip the blood test, you'll miss the best opportunity. If you have HR-negative blood and pass the test, you'll be placed in a special group and get special treatment. But if you don't cooperate, I'll assume you're giving up this chance." The doctor's tone was a bit annoyed.
Elbert shrugged, "I choose not to have my blood tested!"
The foreign doctor frowned deeply, thinking, 'Arrogant Veridianian! Do you think you're brilliant?'
He looked at Elbert with disdain and marked a big red cross in the blood type section of Elbert's form.
Then, he handed the form over with a smile, "Young man, your choice is wise. After all, the result will be the same!"
Elbert said nothing and walked straight to the next area.
As soon as he entered the strength testing area, Elbert couldn't help but laugh, because it was so similar to the underground lab of FutureTech Group. It had a spacious area, reinforced walls, and the same strength testing machine!
"Tester Elbert. There's glucose water here, and a warm-up area over there. I can give you 5 minutes to adjust!"
The staff member next to the strength testing machine was a kind-looking Veridianian, much more polite than the foreigners.
Elbert replied, "Thanks, but no need!"
Elbert walked straight to the center of the area.
He stood in front of the strength testing machine, which was over two people tall.
The machine was made of iron, with a red cushioning gel in the center, which contained dozens of force sensors.
Elbert hesitated slightly, various data flashed before his eyes.
"Veridianian-made impact testing machine, force accuracy less than or equal to 0.5%, unique accuracy less than or equal to 0.8%," Robert Williams' excited voice came through, "Elbert, your test is coming! If you need the machine to show a single punch force of 500 pounds, you need to control your strength within 0.35%-0.38%!"
"To be precise to one ten-thousandth? That's a bit tricky," Elbert thought.
He had planned to just meet the test threshold while keeping his true strength under wraps to avoid drawing too much attention from BioGen Innovations.
Now it seemed a bit more challenging.
While Elbert hesitated, a graceful figure watched coldly from a distance.
She had an impressive figure, wearing tight leather clothes, high heels, straight black hair, and lips painted a seductive purple.
Her code name was Violet Moon, one of the instructors hired by the Hero Academy.
And today's reserve hero selection was for her group.
At this moment, Violet Moon frowned as she looked at the man in white in the area.
If he was hesitating, there was only one possibility!
He had no confidence at all, just like those who couldn't pass the test!
Violet Moon was a bit disappointed.
For two whole days, no outstanding talent had appeared!
Elbert took a deep breath, his expression serious.
He moved his shoulders a bit, his eyes fixed on the strength testing machine.
The on-site staff had no expectations for him. "Just throw a punch, why is he so hesitant?"
Little did they know, Elbert was troubled by how to control his strength!
Finally, Elbert moved! He threw a straight punch with unprecedented momentum.
With a loud noise, the machine trembled!
The numbers on the display screen rose rapidly!
From 0, it shot up to 100!
Everyone was startled by the loud noise and looked over!
From the vibration just now, they could feel Elbert's strength was not ordinary!
Violet Moon also frowned instantly, staring intently!
The numbers on the display kept jumping!
Everyone was almost biting their nails!
They expected that after raising the entry threshold, the selected ones would be one in a million, but they didn't expect the first one to be this strong.
The numbers kept soaring.
Gradually, the numbers on the display slowed down as if losing power!
Finally, it stopped at 493!
Everyone sighed, it was indeed a pity that Elbert could almost pass the strength test!
But his strength was definitely one in a million!
If he had come a bit earlier, he would have had excellent results and passed the selection steadily!
Elbert was also stunned when he saw the numbers! "What? Control failed! How to explain to my mom? Won't Dennis laugh at me? This won't do!"
Elbert quickly thought and came up with an idea!
Given the current situation, he had to cheat!
The next moment, Elbert concentrated all his strength in his arm!
The fist in front of the strength testing machine, with terrifying power, advanced again!
In the blink of an eye, it rushed out and quickly returned!
Although this punch didn't hit the machine, it caused a small-scale sonic boom under Elbert's strength!
The onlookers only saw a blur and their eardrums trembled slightly!
"What happened?" They looked at Elbert again.
He had already retracted his fist and stood with his hands behind his back!
It seemed like he did nothing, but the numbers on the machine's screen started jumping strangely!
The numbers gradually broke through 500 pounds!
The machine suddenly made a crisp sound, "Congratulations, you passed the strength test!"
Everyone was dumbfounded! Could the machine be slow to react?
Only Violet Moon on the stand had bright eyes, her cold expression instantly turned into shock!
She quickly walked a few steps forward, hands on the railing, squinting again!
Her heart was in turmoil! 'What just happened? Was it an illusion? Or was that the so-called physical sonic boom?'
