Chapter 2081: Potential Enhancement Experiment
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Are you thinking of joining Team 1?” Yang Xiaoshan asked.
“Not necessarily. I was just curious.”
Ling Han was highly competitive, but she chose not to express her ambitions openly at that moment.
She believed that some things shouldn’t be talked about; they needed to be achieved.
“I don’t know the exact standards,” Yang Xiaoshan continued. “My cousin said that Team 1 doesn’t just look at raw strength. They assess overall abilities, including intelligence. They’re looking for people with sharp minds. But if you perform well enough, the leader of Team 1 will definitely notice and might recruit you.”
“That makes sense.”
Ling Han replied, her expression becoming more serious.
Initially, her goal was simply to join the Central Guards Brigade, which would have been an honor in itself.
However, hearing more about Team 1 ignited a new fire within her.
She was a perfectionist; she either did something to the best of her ability or not at all.
While joining the Central Guards Brigade was already a significant achievement, she felt that if there was an even better opportunity, she had to pursue it.
Moreover, she was intensely curious about the leader of Team 1, who was reputed to be exceptionally talented.
The fact that he was younger than her and had already reached C-class fascinated her.
As the group quietly discussed these topics, Tao Cheng emerged from the Central Guards Brigade’s building.
Seeing him, the trial candidates quickly gathered together, standing straight and waiting for the trials to begin.
Tao Cheng glanced at the assembled group and announced in a loud voice,
“We’re going to wait a bit longer. The other three team leaders from the Central Guards Brigade will be here shortly. Once they arrive, the trials will officially begin. In the meantime, feel free to warm up. Don’t be nervous; just do your best.”
Hearing that the other three team leaders would be present, the group of over eighty candidates began whispering excitedly.
They were well aware that the Central Guards Brigade consisted of four teams, and they knew that the man in front of them, Tao Cheng, was the leader of Team 4.
This meant that all four team leaders would be present for the trials!
This made it a highly prestigious occasion.
Among the candidates, many, like Ling Han, were particularly interested in the legendary Team 1.
The leader of Team 1 was rumored to be a prodigy, and everyone was eager to see him in person.
The eighty or so candidates instantly fell silent, standing at attention, though the excitement in their eyes was unmistakable.
Lin Yi glanced at Tao Cheng.
“Brother Tao, I’ve got some other things to take care of, so I won’t be staying for this. I’ll come back after I’m done.”
“Go ahead, take care of your business.”
“I’ll go with him,” Ning Che added. “Call me if anything comes up.”
“Alright, take care.”
With that, Lin Yi and Ning Che prepared to leave for the research facility.
However, just as Lin Yi turned to go, he noticed Ling Han standing in the crowd.
Their eyes met briefly.
Lin Yi was slightly surprised to see her there but didn’t dwell on it.
He gave her a quick glance and then continued on his way with Ning Che to the research facility.
Among the candidates, Ling Han clenched her fists even tighter.
She still couldn’t reconcile the image of Lin Yi with that of a formidable leader.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Ning Che had arrived at the research facility behind the office building, where they were greeted by Li Hang, the leader of Team 8.
“Good to see you again, Team Leader Lin,” Li Hang said warmly, extending his hand.
“Likewise. Sorry to trouble you again,” Lin Yi replied with a smile.
“Not at all. If anything, we’re the ones troubling you.”
“We’re all on the same side, so let’s not stand on ceremony. How is this experiment going to be conducted? Is there anything I need to prepare?”
“There’s nothing you need to prepare for,” Li Hang explained.
“But the experiment will take about twelve hours, so I’d suggest you make any necessary arrangements to ensure you’re not disturbed during that time.”
“That’s no problem,” Lin Yi agreed.
“But I heard from Liu Lao that this experiment involves limb enhancement. How much of an improvement can I expect afterward?”
After a moment’s thought, Li Hang replied,
“For most people, their strength would increase by about 15% to 20%. But in your case, the upper limit should be around 30%, with a minimum of 20%.”
