Chapter 197 The Assessment Begins, Lin Yu's Observation
Although the "Predators" are large in scale, it is relatively easy to get promoted in this organization.
Whoever can fight can be the boss.
Most player organizations have this tendency to a greater or lesser extent.
But only for the "Predators", strength is almost the only indicator to determine their status within the organization.
This is why Ah Yu, a young girl who clearly has no experience in leading an organization, was able to serve as the deputy director of the Yanjing headquarters.
Because she is the "only profession", and the "only profession" of the "third level".
After the standard and consensus that "strength" determines status became popular, other things within the "Predator" organization, besides "status", would often be judged by "fists" as the final criterion.
Whether it is a disagreement or distribution of interests among members, it can ultimately be resolved by "just having a fight."
That's the case today.
Inside the cabin, A Yu was half lying on the sofa, announcing the next selection rules.
"While I'm delighted that you're all here, this operation involves a lot of complications... 'Order' has already begun to move, and I'm sure everyone will want a piece of the action... In short, the situation is very complicated!"
"I don't want anyone to hinder such a crucial operation, so the necessary selections must be made."
"Of course, please rest assured, I don't want you to duel in pairs or anything like that... that would be too inefficient."
A Yu snapped his fingers.
"The one in charge of the assessment will be my capable subordinate and most trusted right-hand man—Sea Cucumber!"
"Come on, sea cucumber, give them the whole life!"
A tall and thin young man dressed very fashionably and with a tinfoil perm stood up.
"Fuck, go!"
He did a side flip and jumped up, then with a strange cry, he jumped directly onto the half-meter-high ring.
Afterwards, the young man named "Sea Cucumber" stood on the ring and moved his joints.
Then he raised his head and spoke.
"Everyone, my name is Hai Shen. I'm from the Yanjing headquarters. I'm a Level 2 rank fighter!"
"I will be responsible for testing you from now on... Don't worry, this isn't a life-and-death battle between you and me."
"All you have to do is come up, complete three moves under my hands, and attack me once."
"I'll hold back—after all, the injuries I inflicted on you still need treatment."
"In the meantime, you can use any of the [props] you want, but I will only use one or two."
The sea cucumber said as it circled around the group.
"Who's first?"
Although the sea cucumber's aura and identity as a second-level "thug" are scary.
But most of the "Predators" members are not afraid of fear and are often very brave.
Therefore, many people were eager to step forward.
Sea Cucumber picked one of them at random.
"You, it's you!"
A local member of the "Predators" from Jiangcheng came on stage.
"My job is 'corporate slave', I've learned that."
After a brief greeting, the sea cucumber nodded.
"Then I'll start!"
After seeing the other party ready to move, the sea cucumber immediately rushed forward.
Lin Yu looked at this scene below the stage and raised his eyebrows.
"A martial artist..."
Sea Cucumber's footwork is very professional, and it is obvious that he has practiced Sanda.
The "corporate slave" took two steps back to distance himself from the sea cucumber, then took out a baton from his arms.
Seeing the baton, Lin Yu couldn't hold it back and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
He had sold that before.
For some unknown reason, it ended up in the hands of a member of the 'Predators'.
No one knows whether someone sold it to him or he stole it from some unlucky buyer.
In short, the office worker swung the baton up and down, trying to hit the sea cucumber.
But for sea cucumbers...
This move is so amateurish!
Ah Yu's left and right arms easily avoided the chaotic swings, and then he turned sideways and punched the office worker in the liver area.
"One!"
The sea cucumber shouted loudly.
Then he pulled away again, with a ferocious expression on his face, but he could still stand.
After taking some time to steady himself, the office worker attacked the sea cucumber again.
Only after seeing the office worker moving again did the sea cucumber start moving again.
He still dodged the attack twice, swaying his body slightly - but this time it was a side kick and low sweep.
"boom!"
The sea cucumber kicked the office slave on the calf, and the office slave lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Seeing the other party fall to the ground, the sea cucumber took a step back.
"Two!"
He held up two fingers.
The office worker staggered to his feet.
After seeing the other party stop, Hai Cucumber did not wait for the office animal to move first, but went straight forward and threw a jab.
"Three!"
"boom!"
The sea cucumber hit the office worker so hard that he started bleeding from his nose.
The office worker covered his nose with his hands, a ferocious expression on his face.
"It's really awesome!"
He looked at the sea cucumber in front of him and said with emotion.
This guy is considered quite strong among the average "Second Stage".
But the sea cucumber beckoned.
"Come, it's your turn to hit me—this time I won't interfere. Use your full strength."
The office worker nodded, then took out something like a "spray" from his pocket and took a sip.
After inhaling this stuff, the office worker seemed to have forgotten the pain, stood up straight, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Obviously, he used some kind of power-up item!
He shook the baton in his hand and spoke in a low voice.
"Be careful!"
Then, the office worker's body rushed towards the sea cucumber like an arrow.
The baton fell heavily, making a dull "bang" sound!
At some point, a very elastic "shield" that looked like a giant konjac appeared in the sea cucumber's hand.
The baton hit it, and all the force was removed, causing the surface of the konjac shield to shake continuously.
But even so, the sea cucumber still took two steps back.
The repelled sea cucumber showed an approving look.
"That thing just now was pretty good. If you can use it again tomorrow, I'll give you a pass!"
"Of course I can use it. I wouldn't use up disposable items or items with long cooldowns just for the test."
The office worker put away his baton and answered while panting.
"Then you've passed!"
The sea cucumber also declared faithfully.
This made Lin Yu in the audience fall into deep thought.
"Well, it seems like even if it's a little messy, as long as it looks 'useful', it can pass."
The office worker in the front was almost made fun of in the "fighting" segment, but the final attack seemed to be fierce enough, so he got through it.
Perhaps, this is the reason why we cannot forbid our opponents from using [Items].
"In other words, the assessment criteria are not as strict as imagined."
Thinking of this, Lin Yu temporarily left the arena and then found a seat near the bar and sat down.
Then, he continued to observe the contestants who came after him!
After the performance of the "corporate slaves" just now, everyone has a certain understanding of the "assessment process" of sea cucumbers.
Therefore, people who go on stage have become more active and enthusiastic!
