25: Chapter 25 Assessment

A quiet day passed just like that.

The next morning, that girl Jiang Qin left with Tang Xiaotang secretively.

After seeing his own sister off, Fang Xun also sat down in front of the television and skillfully launched his favorite gala game.

To be fair, the gala games in this world are really fun.

"Start directly! The Otherworldly Adventure of My Greatest Hero King, Lance!"

...

...

Just as Fang Xun was engrossed in playing the game, Jiang Qin was already sitting in Tang Xiaotang's new car, arriving at the entrance of the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau.

Today's ability assessment would be held in the laboratory inside the Special Affairs Bureau.

Looking across the entire Dongcheng City, only the equipment here had the capability to thoroughly analyze these students' abilities.

"Xiao Tang, your car was fixed so quickly?"

Jiang Qin looked at Tang Xiaotang's emerald sports car with some surprise.

It was already fixed in just two days?

"It's not that," Tang Xiaotang shook her head proudly. "My dad ordered another one."

"Alright..."

"Okay, Qin Qin, stop spacing out. Let's go in and take a look!" Tang Xiaotang shook her hand. "Qin Qin, what score do you think you can get?"

"I don't know," Jiang Qin scratched her head.

This assessment was a multi-dimensional comprehensive evaluation, and the specific scoring formula was extremely complex.

The only thing Jiang Qin knew about this assessment was that the maximum score was one thousand points.

So, if one was strong enough, they wouldn't even need to take the liberal arts exams; one punch could smash open the gates of Jing University.

But a Genius like that had never appeared before.

"Let's go in first. Once the assessment starts, we'll naturally know," Jiang Qin said, turning and pulling Tang Xiaotang toward the Special Affairs Bureau.

The number of students inside the Special Affairs Bureau at this moment was not large.

After all, only a few dozen people were qualified to participate in this assessment.

Soon, the two took the elevator down to the eighth basement level.

"Hey Qin Qin, it looks like they are all up ahead."

After getting off, Tang Xiaotang pulled Jiang Qin forward a bit, and indeed, quite a few students had already arrived.

The two were not familiar with these students, so they stood at the back of the line, waiting for the assessment to begin.

Just then, Lu Li appeared from some unknown corner. Her gaze swept over and accurately locked onto Jiang Qin and Tang Xiaotang standing in the back row.

"You're here?"

Lu Li came over and greeted Jiang Qin, while also waving to Tang Xiaotang.

Seeing Lu Li, Jiang Qin remembered what Pei Ruanruan had mentioned yesterday.

"Captain, that Spiritual Energy Armor, can we apply for a higher-grade one?"

"Uh..." When asked this by Jiang Qin, Lu Li clicked her tongue.

"I already submitted an application, but we'll probably have to wait. Spiritual Energy Armor is very scarce right now.

Your armors are still... Anyway, the quota is limited."

"Got it, thank you, Captain," Jiang Qin replied.

Now she knew that what Pei Ruanruan said was true. Resources were limited, so they had to be prioritized for use by higher-level cities.

Smaller cities like theirs had to wait their turn for now.

"Right, Jiang Qin, come with me for a moment." Lu Li spoke, suddenly gesturing for Jiang Qin to follow her.

Jiang Qin looked at Lu Li, then looked at Tang Xiaotang.

She shook Tang Xiaotang's hand.

"Then Xiao Tang, I'll go with the Captain for a bit and be right back."

"Mm-hmm, Qin Qin, you go ahead," Tang Xiaotang nodded even though she didn't know what was happening.

Lu Li led Jiang Qin to a secluded corner.

After confirming no one was around, she lowered her voice and asked directly, "What exactly is your relationship with that Senior?"

"Ah?"

This question completely stumped Jiang Qin. Why was the Captain suddenly asking about this matter?

In fact, the Special Affairs Bureau had only just reacted to this matter.

Early that morning, Pei Ruanruan and her group had arrived at the Special Affairs Bureau and gone to question Wei Heng.

After parting ways with Jiang Qin the night before, Pei Ruanruan belatedly realized that she had steered the conversation toward Jiang Qin's brother.

Not a single piece of information about that Senior had been obtained.

So, she went directly to ask Wei Heng.

This was her thinking: since this happened in Dongcheng City, Wei Heng, as the head of the Special Affairs Bureau, must know everything clearly.

But...

Wei Heng was completely baffled.

Wei Heng took a while to process the question.

In reality, he hadn't thought about it in that way before; he just considered Jiang Qin to be a lucky kid.

After all, he knew Jiang Qin's background clearly.

Her parents died young, and she only had an older brother at home who made a living writing novels and suffered from some mental issues. Besides him, she had no other relatives.

With such a clean background, Wei Heng naturally hadn't connected the dots regarding Jiang Qin.

But when Pei Ruanruan brought it up, Wei Heng suddenly connected all these events.

Right! Why was it that every time Jiang Qin encountered a crisis, that Senior would appear?

Dongcheng City hadn't been without disasters before; situations with heavy casualties had occurred, but why had that Senior never shown up?

Why did he only appear at the exact moment something happened to Jiang Qin?

Once he figured that out, it was obvious, wasn't it?

That Senior definitely had a connection with Jiang Qin.

However, as the Director of the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau, to miss such a simple question made him feel quite embarrassed.

So, he quickly found an excuse, left Pei Ruanruan waiting there for a moment, and delegated the task of questioning Jiang Qin to the idle Lu Li.

Wei Heng was currently listening to the updates from this area through the internal channel.

"What's wrong? Is there something inconvenient to say?" Seeing Jiang Qin looked somewhat confused, Lu Li asked again.

"N-No, Captain," Jiang Qin immediately shook her head. "It's just that I don't know either. I just happened to run into the Senior."

"You don't know?" Lu Li confirmed again.

"Yes," Jiang Qin nodded. "Someone asked me yesterday too. She was a Senior from the Jing University Invincible Genius Society."

Thinking of this, Jiang Qin laughed again.

"That Senior even thought my brother was that Senior. But how could that be?"

"I see," Lu Li nodded. "Alright, I was just asking casually. Go take your test. It's about to start, good luck!"

"Mm-hmm, thank you, Captain!" Jiang Qin nodded heavily and trotted back to Tang Xiaotang's side.

Meanwhile, Wei Heng, listening to the report, had already walked back to his office.

"That thing, what was it I said just now? Oh right, about that Senior. Jiang Qin herself isn't really clear about it.

But according to our speculation, that Senior has actually always been by her side."
