Chapter 86: Chapter 82 Perfect Graduation (First Update)

Prosthetics doctors are a profession that lies between engineers and doctors; they must not only be familiar with the installation and tuning of implants but also have a mastery of medical knowledge.

Relatively speaking, the license for prosthetics doctors might be a bit simpler, but to become a skilled prosthetics doctor, you need to establish a good relationship with patients.

However, Lille had no intention of switching careers to become a doctor.

The assessment for an A-level Prosthetics license required physicians to learn how to install spinal prosthetics and perform compatibility calibrations for both spinal prosthetics and chips, which Lille passed with ease.

Technical experts, on the other hand, are those engineers who understand circuit operation, the working principles of implants, and even remote control of military robots.

People usually only care about whether their prosthetics doctor is trustworthy, but when mercenaries are cornered, with bombs exploding in the next room, the escape elevators not working, and firearms jamming, that’s when they realize just how important technical experts are.

Of course, in everyday life, the general public actually likes technical experts too, it’s just that in such cases, what they usually like is a branch of technical experts with a lower level of skill — Super Dream editors.

The assessment for an A-level technical expert isn’t as simple as editing Super Dreams or calibrating implants.

In the examination, Lille had to restore electricity to a bombed company factory, and distribute the spare power, which wasn’t abundant, to the still-functional production and defense facilities.

He needed to protect the factory from being leveled by invaders and also yield enough products after the battle—

This was indeed a brain drain.

[Warm Reminder: The reality system used in the examination might stimulate the nervous system]

[In rare cases, it may induce neurological diseases, with symptoms similar to epilepsy]

[Taking part in the examination means you accept and sign the "Assessment Safety Regulations and Liability Notice"]

Accessing the Reality Cabin, Lille found himself in a dilapidated factory, where everywhere he looked were broken walls and flashing electrical lights.

"Power insufficient... Warning, power insufficient..."

Lille immediately tapped into the factory’s surveillance probes and located a rather intact armory, which housed Combat Robots that hadn’t yet been activated.

He then opened the distribution box—

The backup power supply located in the basement was relatively intact.

The spare power source couldn’t support the entire factory’s electricity consumption, and the extensive internal line damage had led to the factory’s paralysis.

The first step he had to take was to reroute the lines to supply electricity only to the Combat Robots.

"This time, I don’t need to touch the wires with the back of my hand; the high voltage would likely cling to my hand due to the electric current."

Lille looked at his left hand.

Old Wei had equipped him with a set of technician gloves which had several ports installed on his forearm. When in use, he would connect his personal link to the gloves through the palm of his hand and then put them on.

The technician gloves would automatically collect information and then connect with the user through the personal link. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The four epidermal layers of his arm automatically opened like machinery, the locking mechanism at the end of the gloves expanded to secure the gloves on the forearm, and then extended four neural connections to plug into specially designed neural sockets.

The fingers of the gloves came with voltage detection features and could serve as normal tools like screwdrivers, chisels, wrenches, and even included low-temperature soldering functionality with a small amount of material.

Under Lille’s control, a few fingers twisted and struck, quickly completing the power distribution modifications, and all the remaining power was transmitted to the first robot warehouse, activating the military robots.

In total, 16 military robots were activated, with 2 guarding the factory breach to fend off attacks, 4 reaching the factory turrets, and 2 beginning wiring.

In less than a minute, Lille overwrote the programs for these four robots, starting repairs and connecting lines for the turrets.

Eight robots entered another military robot storage room to clear debris and pull lines for restarts.

By 2 minutes, with two robots lost, the turrets were activated, and the robots designed for repairs made a kamikaze attack in the factory, creating explosions to block the breach.

The first wave of attacks was alleviated.

At 12 minutes, the second robot storage was activated, and at 15 minutes, the robots acquired weapons and organized a structured defense.

After 45 minutes, the fourth robot storage was activated; this also was the last robot storage.

An hour and a half later, all the factory turrets were restored, and half of the robots joined the production line for repairs, starting to resume production.

Three hours later, the robots and Lille successfully repaired the main power source, and by four hours, the second production line was back in production.

By the six-hour mark, the fourth production line was restored, with enemy attacks intensifying, and all robots were used to repel the assault.

Eight hours in, the assessment ended, with two robots remaining and the production quantity exceeding expectations by 10%.

Over these 8 hours, Lille had used up his brainpower, starting with restoring electricity, controlling robots to repair facilities, expanding the defensive perimeter, resuming production, dismantling, and modifying firearms—he had encountered nearly all technical-related aspects of the assessment.

Apart from the technical evaluation, he also had to be aware of resource distribution and tactical calculations concerning management knowledge.

Limit—It could be said to be extremely limiting.

The combat capabilities of the enemy were not strong; in fact, if you understood all the technology involved in the process, you might find the difficulty somewhat low.

But... it was too mentally taxing.

This made Lille curious—Did that many people really obtain the A-level technical expert license?

[Assessment concluded—You have passed the assessment]

[In light of your exceptional performance, you will receive a 60% refund of your tuition fees]

Transfer:+48000 euros.

Account balance: 58000 euros.

[Congratulations, you have been selected for the Arasaka talent pool, with 5938 job positions awaiting applicants. Join Arasaka and build a wonderful life]

Lille ignored the rest and immediately exited the exam.

[Mental pressure from the reality simulation has been eliminated.]

Now he could pay back the ten thousand he owed Old Wei from yesterday, and after that he would still have forty-eight thousand left—Not bad at all.

Lille stretched lazily and walked out of the examination hall.

Then, just outside the Arasaka Academy, Lille saw someone familiar:

David was coming out of the academy and casually tossed a bag containing Arasaka Academy clothing into a trash bin.

After discarding the items, David also saw Lille—

"You are—Big Brother!"

...

"Impressive..."

In the principal’s office of Arasaka Academy, the principal furrowed his brow while looking at the freshly released assessment results, realizing that something was amiss.

The assessment requirement for an A-level Prosthetics Doctor was to make no mistakes, and even more advanced requirements necessitated that doctors gain insights on their own during work.

However, that seemingly torturous assessment for an A-level technical expert wasn’t actually demanding that level of harshness—it was actually part of a stress test.

It was actually about a grading system, and scoring 60 points was enough to pass.

But in this exam, someone had achieved full marks—and it wasn’t just any kind of full marks.

"Dennis... Burger King?"

The dean of Arasaka Academy rubbed his balding scalp, somewhat puzzled.

With such potential, why enrol in an adult education institution?

"Which position has he chosen to apply for?"

In response to the principal’s confusion, the AI replied, "The candidate did not choose to apply for any Arasaka position. According to the psychological model, this person has a strong aversion to the corporation.

In terms of quality education, he scores low, is prone to using foul language, and there is a 97% probability of identity falsification, with a high possibility of criminal activity."

The principal fell silent.

Low quality of education?

If that’s considered low, it’s hard to say whether half of Arasaka Academy’s student body is illiterate.

A harsh reality is that, even for lifelong students of Arasaka Academy, it is very difficult to obtain such licenses—or rather, they don’t actually need it.

Most children still rely on their family connections to secure a managerial position or something else within the company.

Of course, high-level positions with political implications still require a quality university diploma.

As for those truly engaged in technology and scholarship—They still need to study in universities with strong backgrounds because technology is highly monopolized.

Those caught in the middle are in an awkward predicament—they can’t learn, they don’t have connections, they just go to factories for assembly where not much technology is needed; plug in a chip and it’s done.

The honest ones enter factories, the dishonest ones join action squads or security teams as expendables—Everyone has a bright future.

But for technical personnel with such skill levels... there’s too much use for them.

"No good, I need to give him a call, he is a talent..."

"Hello, the number you have dialed is unreachable."

The principal stood there, stunned.
