11 Two Idiots

~Ding.

[Complete 100 push-ups in under 12 minutes.

Rewards: 20% Extract of Supreme Fantasy Serum.]

...

Eh?

Looking at the reward, Ji Shen couldn't help smiling like a fool.

A fantasy serum would be something that didn't exist in reality, right?

First off, the system itself wanted to turn him into a super-soldier.

But that term didn't exist in the barracks on earth or here.

One could be a special force soldier and whatnot, but a Super-soldier was a fictional concept.

These were soldiers who could exceed human capabilities through surgery, gene-altering, super serums, cybernetic implants like robotic arms and so on.

Now, the system had wanted to award him with a Fantasy serum.

So, didn't this mean that he would be stronger than ever?

F***!

Looking at the mission, he wanted to get It done as quickly as possible.

He had a feeling that he would need it to get through the day.

This place was just too unpredictable!

As for doing 100 push-ups, one shouldn't look down on it at all.

Firstly, he just ran an almost impossible task outside, which still left his body numb.

Looking at his attributes, Ji Shen didn't know that it was nothing compared to others here.

Yes. Now, he has become ordinary.

But for soldiers or even trained professionals, many were already above the layman/ everyday person's body limits.

At least in this world, soldiers were stronger than those back on earth.

The layman's strength here was also higher than that back on earth.

Ji Shen didn't know why, but since the beginning of time in this can't, humans here seemed to be stronger when compared to Earthlings.

So to them, their strength was just ordinary since everyone had more or less the same strength.

Put them on earth, and they might all be trainers or soldiers.

That said, the former Ji Shen had the strength of a healthy ordinary earthling.

But over here, it was a weak body that couldn't even do much or bear the pressure from the exams that the everyday person in this world could do.

On that note, many recruited candidates were above ordinary people.

So even though Ji Shen had managed to boost his attributes earlier on, he was still weak compared to a few others.

From what he understood, when it concerned attribute points, Ordinary people had 10, recruits/Candidates typically had 10~14, and those who successfully entered the barracks, A.K.A the soldiers, had 12~25.

And, the soldiers with the highest attributes were typically within the special forces because their training was deemed the most brutal, pushing them above the other soldiers.

Looking at his attributes, Ji Shen's eyes shone with desire for the Fantasy Serum;

Physique: 11.5

Stamina: 9

Strength: 10

Speed & Agility: 9

....

Even after the added attribute points from the system, his results were too sad.

Presently, because they weren't soldiers yet, they were more like Candidates coming for an interview.

So looking at the stats for most Candidates, with attributes that were typically 10~14, Ji Shen had a hunch that the top people had one or two attributes already around 13~14 when it came to strength.

Take for example his buddy Lin Chindu.

The guy's stamina seemed to be ordinary, around 10. But, strength was no doubt around 13 or 14.

It's said that he got specially recruited because the examiners were too impressed by his strength.

Each top candidate had 1 or 2 attributes that were far from ordinary, hence giving them presidential treatment.

People accepted into the barracks typically started with attribute points at 12, after rigorous training and shaping here.

So an untrained candidate with stats at 13~14 was too magical!

.

Ji Shen continued analyzing things while dreaming about the serum.

In the meantime, the Keeper and the Hell Shadows had already rounded up their speech.

Suddenly, everyone heard the loud sounds of a door opening.

~Bam!

Eh?

So there was a door in here?

Everyone stood alert as they watched more than 20 soldiers push in wheeled carts forward.

These people had popped out from behind the gigantic stairway.

The double-sided door they came from wasn't obvious, unless one took a closer look at it.

As the veterans pushed the carts forward in formation, The Keeper squinted his eyes coldly at Ji Shen and the rest.

"While staying here, these are the only things you are allowed to keep or wear publicly.

From now till you leave this place, you'll only be called by the names on your tags."

Those who had already received their name tags, glanced at it again and inwardly registered their names in their minds.

Presently, the veterans who brought the carts out, partnered with the Hell Shadows to distribute everything swiftly, while the Keeper gave them a few ground rules.

"Within this building alone, this room is forbidden for all candidates.

Anyone who dares to disobey will face my wrath!"

Instantly, everyone felt The Keeper's murderous aura and couldn't help shivering up a bit.

There were still forbidden rooms here?

Many secretly took note of the door at the back of the stairway.

Their expressions all turned grim, with only a handful of candidates remaining calm.

The Keeper looked at these unique candidates deeply.

They should've already figured out the meaning in his words.

He looked at them one by one and was inwardly pleased.

It was just that looking at the last 2 people, he almost stumbled in disbelief.

His lips twitched uncontrollably while glaring at them.

Could anyone tell him why these idiots were doing push-ups at a time like this?
