Bang!
Accompanied by the violent explosion, Raphael's right hand holding the guardian gun jumped up slightly. A ball of flame the size of a watermelon spurted out from the muzzle, carrying the heavy warhead etched in the Origin Stone and rushing towards the target dozens of meters away. target.
Raphael raised the corner of his mouth slightly, straightened his arm, and formed a straight line with his right eye and the sight of the guard gun. He pointed the muzzle of the gun at the distant target again and pulled the trigger.
Valentin looked at Raphael's back and yawned, with a tear falling from the corner of his eye. He adjusted the noise-cancelling headphones he was wearing and looked around absently.
This is the shooting range of Rhode Island and one of the venues for actual combat testing. After communicating with Kelsey, the test order of the three Valentines was decided. First, Raphael's shooting test, then Xing Yihuang's actual combat test, and finally Valentine's sword test.
As for other tests, they will not start until some time after joining the company. Kelsey also explained this. The machines currently on the market that test the strength of Originium skills have large errors. Rhode Island does not plan to conduct this test on new operators. Instead, it will evaluate the performance of various tasks that the newcomers participated in six months after joining Rhode Island. , and finally the exact result will be given to a new operator.
In other words, all newcomers will have a half-year "internship period". However, the salary during this half-year internship period is the same as after becoming a full-time employee, but there are some differences in other benefits.
When he heard this, Valentin felt relieved. He is the last test. Someone will cut him with a sword before he comes up. He still has time to prepare. Although the order of the tests does not affect the fact that Valentine will be knocked out, it will be a while later.
Maybe the system... Jiao Zhengyu can help him?
After Valentin looked around again to make sure that everyone's attention was on Raphael who was shooting, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
Razer, who was recording data not far away, raised his head and glanced at Valentine, then moved his eyes back to the display.
"Ten rings." She murmured and recorded the data on the PAD.
Franka noticed Razer's little movement, nudged her gently with her elbow, and pulled away Razer's headphones: "What, have you fallen in love with that little guy?"
Razer expressionlessly pushed away Franka who was approaching, and continued to monitor Raphael's target practice.
"Say something, right?" This time Franka's voice rang directly from Razer's noise-cancelling headphones, and she hugged Razer's left arm and rubbed it.
Although Razer is not old, only twenty-four years old, he is indeed at the age where he should find a boyfriend. If Razer really takes a liking to the new little Vaivan guy, Franka doesn't mind giving him a small assist in the final sword test.
By the way, that Vaifan looks so young. Is he an adult? It turns out that Razer likes cute boys younger than him?
Razer ignored her and continued to observe Raphael's target paper.
"Hey, why didn't you say anything? You acquiesced? I didn't expect you to like men like this... I don't usually notice it, you hide it well enough."
"Did you see that little guy's mother's love overflowing?"
Franka's laughter came from Razer's headphones, stinging her eardrums.
Bang bang bang, a scene of Franka being shot by a pistol appeared in Razer's mind. She gritted her teeth, reached down with her left hand and pinched Franka's thigh before getting rid of her.
"He just looks like a guy I know."
If Franka didn't explain, she would definitely continue to entangle him. As her partner for many years, Razer knew this guy's nature more thoroughly than Xiao Shitan.
There was just one thing that Razer didn't tell Franka.
The name of the Vaifan man was exactly the same as the one in her memory.
With the ejection of the last bullet casing, all the bullets used for the test handgun were completely consumed. Raphael turned her wrist and turned her guardian gun on her index finger. After showing off her skill beautifully, she placed it on the table.
She turned around and looked in the direction of Valentine, but she only saw the guy sitting in a chair and sleeping soundly.
He folded his hands on his lower abdomen, leaned back on the chair, tilted his head up, and pressed the blue horn against the wall. The position of the noise-cancelling headphones changed. It can be said that the posture was not elegant at all. With him The appearance is completely inversely proportional.
It seemed that the noise during the shooting test did not disturb him at all, and he slept soundly.
"..."
The corners of Raphael's eyes twitched slightly, and he barely allowed the expression on his face to change, maintaining his ladylike image.
Xing Yihuang glanced at Valentine sitting next to him and crossed his arms across his chest.
"Next item, assault gun test. Target distance, 100 meters."
"start."
Razer pushed away Franka who wanted to get closer again and gave the order.
Raphael skillfully picked up the assault gun on the table, loaded the magazine, pulled the charging handle, turned sideways and faced the target in the distance, and pulled the trigger at three points and one line.
"asshole……"
In her eyes, the target in the distance had turned into the image of Valentine.
"Hey, did you see the expression on that angel's face when he saw the Vaifan sleeping?"
Franka's voice came out from Razer's noise-cancelling headphones again, but this time it was a little quieter, but still mean.
As a swordsman, Franka's observation ability is much better than others, so she naturally saw the little movement in the corner of Raphael's eyes just now.
"What's the meaning?"
Razer felt that Franka had nothing good to say.
After all, when she and Franka went on a mission, the other party never stopped mocking her.
"You have a competitor."
"What?" Razer didn't quite understand.
"The angel is interested in that Vaifan man, and they came together..."
Franka didn't finish her words and deliberately left half of them.
Razer shook his right hand and the PAD almost fell to the ground. She was not stupid and knew what Franka was talking about.
"I'll say it again, that guy just looks like an acquaintance of mine, I'm not interested in him!" Razer lowered his voice and growled at Franka, looking like an angry dragon.
Razer promised that if there was no one else around at this time, she would definitely take out the shield to let Franka feel how dazzling the 54 million lumens of light are.
"I saw heaven, and God was reaching out to greet me." - From an enemy who has been hit by the Razer Supernova on the battlefield.
Let me explain that the supernova here is Franka’s nickname for Razer’s flash skill.
Razer was angry, and Franka took a few steps back knowingly. Her eyes lingered on Valentine's body, her eyes gradually narrowed, and her smile grew stronger.
——————————Valentin: Danger————————————
When Valentine opened his eyes again, there was only endless darkness and the faint white light of the distant horizon.
He has entered the spiritual world.
"Jiao...Jiao Zhengyu! Jiao Zhengyu! Are you there?" Valentine put his hand to his mouth and shouted to the black sky in the shape of a trumpet. The system used to appear automatically soon after he entered the mental space, but considering that the other party was on vacation, Valentine didn't know how to communicate with the system, so he could only use the most primitive method of shouting loudly.
After all, it was Jiao Zhengyu who came to him most of the time.
"Jiao Zhengyu... the name is quite interesting. Is this guy interested in ancient Chinese music?" Valentine sat cross-legged on the ground and muttered softly, waiting for Jiao Zhengyu to appear.
"Indeed. Ancient music is simple and pure enough, just like unpolluted mountain spring water." A white-haired Philin appeared in front of Valentine, sitting cross-legged like him, with his waist The rod is straight.
"Although today's music has artistic conception, it always lacks that close-to-nature flavor. I can imagine the emotions expressed in the music, but I can't be there personally."
"What's more, most of the music nowadays has been polluted by love and electronics. I can only smell the burnt smell left by the current passing through the copper wires and the sour smell of love."
"Do you know how many people will want to beat you up with your words?" Valentine looked up and down at Jiao Zhengyu in front of him. It's been a long time since the system had a body, and it also had a name. Valentin had never observed the other party carefully, so he took the opportunity to take a closer look while communicating with Jiao Zhengyu.
The man's appearance looked a little thin, and Valentin guessed that when Jiao Zhengyu opened his shirt, he could definitely see the bulging marks on his ribs. He is a little taller than him in stature. Of course, if you include the corners, Valentine is taller. His face is not as feminine as Valentin's. He can clearly tell that he is a man, with strong lines.
It can be seen as a younger version of Silver Gray.
"I always feel that you are thinking about something inappropriate for children." Jiao Zhengyu tightened his clothes.
"I'm not here to chat with you." Valentin waved his hand. "I'm about to take part in the actual combat test in Rhodes Island. I think they will send a group of sword masters to attack me. What should I do?"
"Fight, even though you look like a woman, you are indeed a man." Jiao Zhengyu made a fist with his right hand and lightly hammered the ground. He completely lost the sense of independence from the world when he first talked about music with Valentine. "As a man, you must not be timid, especially when your opponents are a group of women."
"But I can't beat them!" Valentine spread his hands.
Although Jiao Zhengyu's words were a bit strange, as if he was scolding him, Valentine had no time to talk nonsense at this moment.
Otherwise, you should be beaten if you drag yourself along. Now Valentin's mind is filled with the scene of Francascadi Shining drawing his sword towards him. How miserable it would be, not even a single corpse would be left behind.
"Didn't the Immortal give you a bunch of swordsmanship and weapons at that time? Why are you being cowardly?" Probably Jiao Zhengyu went to Valentine's hometown for a vacation, and his words were all mixed up, switching between local dialects, and they were all dialect versions of Mandarin. .
That is why Valentin can speak Chinese when communicating with Jiao Zhengyu.
"He gave me sword skills, but I don't know how to do it. Do you think I'm a robot like you that can just input data and run it? Besides, you can't run those software without a driver."
"My current situation is that I have software but no driver, even though the computer configuration is quite high."
"You really know how to praise yourself in different ways." Jiao Zhengyu's mouth twitched.
This system is really becoming more and more user-friendly.
"A prize, a prize, a prize." Valentin chuckled.
"I never..." Jiao Zhengyu was about to scold Valentine, but he covered his mouth.
"Okay, if you have time to scold me, you might as well think of a solution for me."
"You must defeat the opponent in the actual combat test?" Jiao Zhengyu slapped Valentine's hand away, conjured up a tissue and wiped his mouth.
"Don't always touch me from now on. Men and women can accept or not kiss each other."
"It doesn't have to be defeated, but I must show my swordsmanship skills. Everyone in Rhode Island knows that I rescued ACE. I guess they also know about my ability as a nanny."
"How did a wet nurse rescue a living person from the crisis-ridden Qicheng City? There must be other means. When I entered the information, I mentioned swordsmanship and nothing else. If he was not proficient in this swordsmanship, I would have doubted Luo Will Tokushima treat me as an undercover agent sent by the Integration Movement?"
Now Valentin regrets it, very much. Why didn't you take Xing Yihuang and Raphael with you when you rescued people? If that's the case, it's easier for me to find an excuse now. Just say that the three of them cooperated and avoided countless life dangers to save ACE. This way, the credibility will be higher.
Xing Yihuang's fists were hard enough, his milk volume was sufficient, and Raphael's shooting skills were accurate enough.
As a result, I was determined to go alone. The hero has been fooled, and now the other party asks the hero to perform his special skills. Do you think he should not perform them or not?
Because there is nothing to perform!
Talking trash doesn’t count, I can make everyone present want to beat me to death on the spot.
Valentine believed that if he really said that, Kelsey would definitely ask Mon3tr to throw him out. Before throwing him out, he would be chopped to pieces by a group of sword masters.
It's so hard for me.jpg
Valentine was now sitting on the ground, shaking all over, holding his calves tightly with his hands, his palms becoming sweaty. A speech bubble with a white background popped out of his head, with the words "What to do" written inside.
"As for that..." Jiao Zhengyu's eyes twitched as he looked at the bubbles on Valentine's head.
The dialog box was so scary.
"Don't you think of a solution yourself? I am your system... Jiao Zhengyu, not your mother." Jiao Zhengyu stretched out his hand towards the bubble above Valentine's head, his nails became sharp and long, and he directly The bubbles popped, like balloons.
He shook his hand and his nails returned to their original shape.
"I feel like I have no choice but to get beaten." Valentine shook his head.
Who's on the other side? A guard operator with many years of combat experience, the sword in his hand has already been immersed in his soul, and his swordsmanship is directly proportional to his appearance. Who is Valentine? He relied on powerful foreign aid to defeat Tallulah's hanging wall. Although he received the inheritance of swordsmanship from major European systems from the foreign aid, he had never practiced it once, and his body had no corresponding muscle memory at all. Even if he could perform those postures, he was still extremely stiff. , the combos are fixed and cannot be used flexibly at all.
His only advantage is that he is durable and can breastfeed on his own.
"Yes, then you can summon the spirit behind you when the fight starts. Even if you are injured, you will recover quickly. As time goes by, you can always break through the defense and hit the opponent."
"Don't you have a Weapon Angel? Let her out by the way, and use the holy light as a flash bomb from time to time. Although it is not as good as the shock bomb, it is still enough to harass the opponent to a certain extent."
"At this time, if you use the swordsmanship in your mind, you will not be injured yourself, and if you are interfered by the strong light, the opponent will definitely have flaws. You are not the kind of rookie who doesn't know any swordsmanship. You should know how to fight. Bar?"
"Isn't this just a fool's errand?"
Jiao Zhengyu analyzed it for him vividly. Valentin thought this scene looked familiar, except for a table, a plate of kebabs and two bottles of snowflakes.
A bunch of cumin, a bunch of spicy food, let's bravely explore the world together.
At this time, Valentine suddenly calmed down, and the matter of the actual combat test gradually sunk into his heart.
The past was like smoke, filling my mind... and then disappeared with a wave of Jiao Zhengyu's hand.
"You should change your pretentiousness. What's the use of asking for trouble when you have nothing to do."
"Uh... okay." Valentine shook his head. "Actually, I don't want to release the Angel of Weapons. A Vaifan possesses the soul of a Sakota... It's strange no matter how you look at it, right?"
"I feel like I will be closely monitored in the future."
"Isn't this nonsense? When you came here, you also heard what the leader said. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in this base, and there is also an inspection department. You yourself also know that there is also a SWEEP."
"So..." Valentine's face looked a little ugly. "In the end, I still have to rely on myself."
"You can rely on me. Do you have the source stone?"
"No."
"No need to discuss it."
Gan!
"Think carefully about what you can do to make this beating more bearable. This is also your first training. It will allow you to better familiarize yourself with the swordsmanship system in your head. Generally speaking, there is no harm except a little pain."
"I don't think it hurts..." Valentine covered his face.
"You can't die, so what are you afraid of? Hurry out and it's your turn for the test!" Jiao Zhengyu issued an eviction order, and the bodies of the two of them gradually faded.
"Wait a minute." Valentin put down his hand and looked at Jiao Zhengyu who slowly disappeared in front of his eyes: "Didn't you say that time flows very slowly in the spiritual space?"
"That's the result of my manipulation. If I want it to slow down, it will slow down. If not, it will still flow at the normal time speed."
"so……"
"Open your eyes and see for yourself."
Jiao Zhengyu disappeared, and Valentine's consciousness returned to his body. When he opened his eyelids again, there was no one in front of him. Raphael was not at the target position, and the Rhode Island operators were not around to watch and record data. The entire shooting range was empty except for him lying on the chair.
Oh, by the way, there was also Raphael sitting next to him.
Valentine felt like he had slept, and the scene when he was talking to the system just now was a dream. He scratched his head, took off his noise-cancelling headphones, threw them on the table, and stretched.
"woke up?"
Valentine nodded and yawned.
But if Raphael's voice doesn't sound right, is it a little emotional?
"Yihuang is conducting a practical test next door. It should be over now. It's your turn." Raphael patted Valentin on the shoulder, with the smile still on his face.
Valentin thought Raphael's smile was a bit dark.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Raphael pushed open the door to the shooting range, and Valentin followed behind her.
"It's not long, about ten minutes."
"You tested so quickly?" Valentine was a little unconvinced.
"Because we are really powerful." Raphael looked back at Valentin.
At the beginning of the interview, she really didn't expect Valentine to say that he had a specialty in swordsmanship. Raphael has been with him for a year and has never seen Valentine touch a sword. He doesn't even have a sword collection.
There were quite a few Origin Stones, but when he escaped with ACE, he didn't see Valentin coming out with his box of Origin Stones.
"I don't understand... why did you tell Rhode Island that you knew swordsmanship?" Standing at the door of the actual combat test site, Raphael couldn't help but ask this question.
She didn't want to see Valentine getting beaten.
"Well...actually I know a little bit, but I'm not very skilled." Sweat broke out on Valentine's forehead.
Raphael lowered his head slightly and stared into Valentine's eyes. Valentine looked away from the other person's face slightly, his cheeks gradually turning red.
"Although I always feel like you are hiding something from me, but..."
"It doesn't matter."
Raphael sighed softly, and the dark clouds on his face disappeared, and she turned into the angelic sister who smiled gently no matter where she was.
"I hope I can get you to open up to me in the future."
"I will always be by your side."
Valentine's body was shaking as if it had been electrified, and his whole body was numb.
So damn...exciting.
"Okay, okay... today is really a day to be happy about. Even if you get beaten, it doesn't matter." Valentine opened the door of the testing venue and saw the Rhode Island operators who were recording information.
Xing Yihuang and Seria were talking to each other. They were wearing protective clothing of different colors and seemed to have just completed a training session.
Now, the tests for Raphael and Xing Yihuang are over.
"Is it my turn?" Valentine raised his hand.
Kelsey nodded and motioned for him to go to the locker room and change into protective clothing. The swordsmanship test is different from other actual combat tests. Although the sword is used for training, it is also made of steel. Wounds may still appear on the body, so protective measures must be taken.
When Valentin opened the door to the dressing room, he turned back and met Franka's eyes. Franka's eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her mouth raised crazily, and the swift sword in her hand gradually turned red.
Valentin swallowed and closed the door to the locker room. Looking at the neatly arranged protective clothing inside, he could only pray silently in his heart.
I hope I don't die too miserably.
