Chapter 23
Qiushen spoke to Lin Yuan again, giving him some precautions when using the virtual world cabin.
He respectfully exited the room.
"Virtual world cabin."
Lin Yuan carefully observed for a while and then lay down.
Buzz
A slight ripple passed through.
Lin Yuan only felt a slight tingling on his skin, and then he heard the voice saying, "Replication complete, please connect to the virtual world, Evolver."
"Welcome to the assessment world."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and saw a stern man looking at him.
"Assessment world?"
Lin Yuan immediately assessed himself.
Physical strength, the circulation of elemental power in his body, and the spiritual power in the Niwan Palace in his mindall were no different from his external body.
"The Human Alliance is truly formidable."
Lin Yuan was secretly surprised. Such perfect replication meant that he had no secrets.
"No."
"The Gateway to the Myriad Realms hasn't been replicated."
Lin Yuan seemed to realize something and focused his mind deep into his thoughts.
In the position where the Gateway to the Myriad Realms should have stood, there was nothing.
"Even the Human Alliance can't replicate the Gateway to the Myriad Realms?"
"Or is it that they can't even detect the existence of the Gateway to the Myriad Realms?"
While relieved, Lin Yuan couldn't help but speculate.
"Evolver, please choose your assessment scene," said the stern man nearby, suddenly breaking the silence.
As soon as he finished speaking, scenes appeared before Lin Yuan.
There were deserts with miles of yellow sand, forests with ancient trees, and cities with towering buildings.
"Just the desert."
Lin Yuan randomly chose one.
"Scene confirmed." The stern man waved his hand.
The surrounding environment changed instantly, and Lin Yuan found himself in a desert, with endless yellow sand and scorching heat.
"According to the energy fluctuations in the Evolver's body, this assessment will start directly from the first stage."
"First, you have to defeat the opponent at the first stage. Only then will you qualify for the next assessment."
"Understand?"
The stern man looked calmly at Lin Yuan.
"Understood."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Swoosh.
The stern man disappeared.
Not far away, a large expanse of yellow sand quickly gathered, forming a humanoid figure.
This was a tall man with dark skin, and a fierce black horn grew on his forehead.
"Die for me."
The man with the black horn didn't say a word, striding towards Lin Yuan.
"His speed is a bit faster than an ordinary master, but he's not a threat to me."
Lin Yuan remained calm.
According to the stern man, the assessments progressed from weak to strong. The first opponent's strength was at the first stage. Only by defeating him could Lin Yuan face a second-stage opponent.
Crack.
The man with the black horn suddenly stopped, his gaze dimming instantly, and his body turned back into yellow sand and dissipated.
Lin Yuan stood still, without even moving.
"Good."
Zhu Qianqian steadied herself and sat back at her workstation.
"Little Zhu, where do you think Mr. Lin will be placed?"
The President of the Evolvers Association also became interested and casually asked.
"Mr. Lin is a Second-tier Citizen. Since he came to register, he must have at least the strength of the first stage."
Zhu Qianqian said cautiously.
For ordinary people, becoming an Evolver was extremely difficult.
But in the eyes of higher-tier citizens, there were many methods, and the simplest was to buy a bottle of genetic elixir and follow the 'Genetic Warrior' evolutionary path.
Although Genetic Warriors had significant drawbacks and lacked potential, relying heavily on external substances, they were undoubtedly Evolvers.
"Exactly."
The President of the Evolvers Association nodded slightly.
He also thought that Lin Yuan definitely had the strength of the first stage; it was impossible for him to still be a non-ranked Evolver.
Typically, higher-tier citizens were likely Evolvers, but many weaker Evolvers remained First-tier Citizens.
"In my opinion, Mr. Lin will likely be placed in the first stage, between the second and third stages."
The secretary next to the President, who was following him, spoke up.
This speculation made the President of the Evolvers Association nod again.
Higher-tier citizens finding it easy to become Evolvers was one thing, but becoming powerful Evolvers was another, and it had its own set of challenges.
And this challenge lay between the first stage third tier and fourth stage.
In the first twelve stages, every three stages formed a bottleneck. To advance from the third stage to the fourth stage, it required not only hard work and effort but also a certain level of talent.
Higher-tier citizens might have extraordinary abilities in other aspects, allowing them to contribute to human civilization and gain recognition from the Goddess of Wisdom.
But talent in evolution was something money couldn't buy.
Using genetic elixirs could forcibly enhance abilities, but there was a certain risk of death. Higher-tier citizens wouldn't play with their lives.
"Little Zhang is right."
The President of the Evolvers Association looked approvingly at his secretary.
Zhu Qianqian, listening nearby, had no objections.
Although she had a favorable impression of Lin Yuan, strength was strength.
"After Mr. Lin finishes the assessment, remember to let me know."
The President of the Evolvers Association was about to leave.
Just then, on the screen in front of Zhu Qianqian, the first column suddenly lit up.
"It seems Mr. Lin has started the assessment."
Seeing this, the President decided not to leave, intending to wait for Lin Yuan's assessment to finish.
In the President's opinion, Lin Yuan, at most, had the strength of the first stage third tier. Passing three stages would be sufficient.
However, what happened next left the President of the Evolvers Association stunned.
On the screen, after the first column lit up, the second column instantly followed.
Then came the third.
The fourth.
The fifth.
Until the twelfth.
Almost within a few breaths.
All twelve columns were lit up.
At this moment, the President of the Evolvers Association hadn't even fully taken his seat.
"This is the twelfth stage?"
Zhu Qianqian widened her eyes, and the President beside her was also somewhat astonished.
