49 -49: Earth Flame Star Battle

He pressed the start button.

Zap~

Accompanied by a slight hiss, the transparent lid of the simulation cabin opened, revealing the internal equipment.

Su Ming was slightly stunned; this simulation cabin was indeed completely different from the one at school.

Inside was just a reclining chair with a helmet integrated with numerous circuits in the head area, and around the simulation cabin, there were only a few mechanical buttons to adjust the reclining chair.

Su Ming took a deep breath and sat down.

The lid of the simulation cabin automatically closed, and immediately, the transparent lid in front of him turned into a holographic screen.

“Identifying identity…”

“Identification successful: Examinee number 45712, Name: Su Ming, Gender: Male, Age: 18….”

Su Ming looked at the displayed information, his eyes revealing an incredulous expression.

Something was off about this simulation cabin; why was it intelligent?

Before Su Ming could react, a message popped up on the virtual screen in front of him.

“120 seconds until the start of the second test, please adjust the reclining chair to the most comfortable position.”

Su Ming immediately hurried to adjust it.

After he adjusted the reclining chair, another prompt popped up on the virtual screen.

“Fixation device activating!”

Click~~

Fixing clasps sprung out from the reclining chair, firmly securing Su Ming’s body on the chair.

However, it wasn’t suffocating; overall, it was still very comfortable.

Following that, a new prompt popped up on the virtual screen.

“Neural helmet, beginning placement, please relax your body and keep your head still…”

Before Su Ming could react, the metal helmet was already placed on his head.

“Placement successful, exam countdown 47S, 46S…”

The virtual screen continuously displayed the countdown.

Su Ming watched the changing countdown, feeling inexplicably excited.

At the moment when the countdown reached zero,

Su Ming suddenly felt a faint electric current sweeping his brain, his consciousness blacked out instantly, and he felt as if he had suddenly become weightless, plunging into endless darkness.

Then the next second, Su Ming abruptly opened his eyes.

He found himself in a huge sealed space, the walls around him were made of high-strength, lightweight alloy, shimmering with a cold metallic luster, and the floor beneath his feet was solid steel casting.

Dazzling lights were on overhead, and the air was filled with a mixture of oil and metal smells.

Su Ming was also momentarily dumbstruck; how did he end up here?

And from the looks of it, this place resembled the cargo hold of a spaceship.

Before Su Ming could figure out what was going on,

Swoosh~

He suddenly saw, appearing out of thin air around him, one after another familiar yet unfamiliar figures.

These figures were indeed the examinees.

Su Ming even saw Chen Tong, appearing not far in front of him.

Everyone was surprised, chattering noisily.

“Where is this?”

“Wow, this is really magical, isn’t it?”

“Am I dreaming?

I’ll pinch my face to try, ouch…”

“Hell, this isn’t a dream.”

…

Su Ming tried pinching his own arm, a clear pain coming rapidly, which somewhat shocked him, leaving him a bit dazed for a moment.

At that time, Chen Tong walked up to Su Ming with a gloomy face and said,

“Su Ming, do you know what’s going on?”

“I’m not sure; I entered the simulation cabin and suddenly ended up here.

But I’m certain we must be in an exam.”

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

“So what do we do now?”

Chen Tong asked in a grave voice.

“Let’s see how things unfold.”

Su Ming quickly suppressed his fluctuating heart and calmly spoke.

Just then, the entire transport cabin suddenly shook violently, nearly sending everyone tumbling.

At the same time in the transport cabin, an alarm device continuously flashed red light and emitted a piercing sound.

A tense atmosphere instantly spread.

“What’s happening?”

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know, but isn’t that the sound of an alarm?”

“Why am I even here?

My minor is in mechanical repair!”

“Stop complaining, my minor is in nursing and treatment.”

…

All the exam candidates present were flustered.

At that moment when everyone was anxious and unsettled, a stern voice suddenly came over the broadcast.

“Hello, candidates, let me introduce myself.

I am Ames Major General from the Imperial Court Sect!”

As soon as he said this, everyone’s eyes widened, and some even swore loudly.

“Fuck, did I hear that right?

A general?”

“What’s the situation?

The general is the chief examiner?”

…

Ames ignored the shocked students and continued to speak in a stern voice.

“You all must be very confused and perplexed about your current situation.

Let me explain briefly, you are using the Federation’s latest developed neural simulation cabin, which can realistically emulate all sensations, including pain!

So although you are now in a virtual world, it feels no different from the real world.

In addition, your minor examinations are about to begin.”

Hearing Ames’ words, Su Ming took a deep breath, surprised by the advanced technology the Federation possessed!

In fact, the Federation had never abandoned research in the intelligence field, it’s just that Su Ming and others had no access to it.

“Minor examination? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

How will we be tested?”

“Yeah?”

…

The crowd on-site asked perplexedly.

At that moment, Ames Major General spoke in a serious tone.

“Pay attention now, I’m about to make the final remarks and I will only say this once!”

Immediately, the chaotic scene quieted down, everyone perked up their ears to listen carefully, afraid of missing a single word.

“Look around you.

Can you see all the students in the same examination room?”

Ames reminded them in a stern voice.

Su Ming looked carefully around and saw Lin Chuyu, Li Fubai, and others from afar, then whispered to Chen Tong.

“All the students in our examination room have gathered together.”

“Fuck, what the hell are these people up to?”

Chen Tong couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

“Just listen patiently.”

Su Ming calmly told Chen Tong.

“Examinees of the same examination room, you are all now aboard the same spaceship.

Among you, there are students from the Mecha Department, the Command Department, the Repair Department, the Ground Combat Department…

In short, all departments are present!

And the core of this minor examination is simple, it is to take control of the spaceship you are on and participate in the epic battle of Earth Flame Star!”

Ames announced passionately.

“You’re kidding, right?

They want us to take part in the Earth Flame Star battle?”

“This has to be a joke, right?”

“Is General Ames being too reckless?

Hardly anyone survives that battle.”

“Don’t talk like that, do you know who General Ames is?”

“Who?”

“This guy is one of the tough survivors of the Earth Flame Star battle.

I read an interview about him once.

When he participated in the Earth Flame Star battle, he was just an unknown lieutenant!

Now a hundred years have passed, and he’s become a major general.”

“Holy shit, that’s something.”
