Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty Chapter 203: I Just Want to Show Off

"Sorry, I was too hasty just now," Mo Qu said as he stood up from the ground and gave Lu Xiao a cupped fist salute.

Lu Xiao was also sowhat surprised. He had thought this guy would bear a grudge against him.

But to his astonishnt, not only was the attitude quite good, but there was not a trace of resentnt in his eyes; if anything, there was more admiration.

He’s a straightforward guy.

"No problem, I just wanted to show off a bit," Lu Xiao said, laughing and grinning.

Mo Qu had an expression of resignation. Looks like I’m the material for your show-off act.

"Ladies and gentlen, we will now begin the testing," soone announced.

"The test consists of three parts: talent, potential, and willpower."

"First up is the talent part, please enter the testing machine in turn," they instructed.

Everyone looked toward the testing area with several machines, finally understanding the purpose of these devices.

"High-tech indeed," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but be a bit curious. He didn’t even know the principle behind these things that could test sothing invisible and intangible like talent.

"Highland Takahashi Hirano, please," the voice called.

As the first Heavenly Man entered the machine, the testing area was filled with the sound of beeps and ticks.

The top of the testing machine had a display screen, which was rapidly flipping through numbers at the mont.

At first, the numbers flipped quickly, but as ti went on, they slowly stabilized.

Finally, Takahashi Hirano’s value settled at 79.

"What level is 79?" Lu Xiao asked Xu Youcai beside him.

Xu Youcai imdiately took out a booklet and handed it to Lu Xiao: "The evaluations corresponding to the numbers are in here."

Lu Xiao quickly opened the booklet, and the very first page detailed the interpretations for the talent machine’s numbers.

A number from 50 to 100 corresponded with the evaluation: Heavenly Man First-tier, utterly average talent.

A number from 100 to 200 ant: Heavenly Man First-tier, excellent talent.

A number from 200 to 500 ant: Heavenly Man First-tier, exceptional talent.

In short, the higher the number, the more impressive the talent.

"This is like capturing Pokémon," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but make a snide remark.

The other Heavenly n looked at Lu Xiao with puzzled faces. What’s capturing Pokémon?

Seeing the bewildered expressions on everyone’s faces, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Damn, he wasn’t going to have any common ground with these old guys.

The testing speed of the talent machine was very fast, averaging about one minute per person.

Soon, it was Liu Mingshu’s turn.

"Godmother, you’ll easily get 500," Lu Xiao said with a smile.

Liu Mingshu shook her head with a smile. This cheeky kid Lu Xiao really dared to speak boldly. 500 was already the maximum talent value for a Heavenly Man First-tier. Did he think everyone was as monstrous as him?

Among the others tested earlier, Mo Qu had the highest Talent Value, reaching 192.

Liu Mingshu estimated that her own would be just over 200, but that was not bad either, at least deserving of an exceptional talent evaluation.

As soon as Liu Mingshu entered the talent machine, the number jumped sharply, quickly surpassing 100.

"How powerful, Godmother. Anything below one hundred doesn’t even show up," Lu Xiao exclaid.

The upper echelons of the Seventeenth Bureau also had sharp glints in their eyes. Could Liu Mingshu be another unparalleled genius?

The fact that numbers below one hundred weren’t displayed indicated a very high Talent Value for her.

The number continued to rise without any sign of slowing down.

One minute later, Liu Mingshu’s Talent Value had already surged past 400, and it was still climbing at a rapid pace.

Lu Xiao was a bit stunned. Was he becoming prophetic? Godmother was really heading for 500.

"But it makes sense," Lu Xiao wasn’t too surprised, as Liu Mingshu’s talent was indeed extraordinary.

Keep in mind, she left the Goo Clan in her twenties and had no cultivation resources for all these years.

If she had stayed with the Goo Clan, she probably could have beco a Heavenly Man by her forties.

"Ding!" The talent machine suddenly made a clear sound, and then, the numbers halted, 500!

Heavenly Man First-tier, maxed out.

"Holy smokes, the Goo Clan is going to explode this ti," soone among the higher-ups remarked.

One Lu Xiao was already outrageous enough, but they hadn’t expected Liu Mingshu to have off-the-charts talent as well.

"Team Leader Liuli, if I rember correctly, in the entire Seventeenth Bureau, only you got 500 when at the First Order, right?" Goo Yuexing glanced at Liuli Hong.

"She is more outstanding than , she reached 500 faster than I did," Liuli Hong nodded and said.

"Looks like it’s finally our turn at the Seventeenth Bureau," Goo Yuexing said with a smile on his face.

After stepping out from the talent machine, Liu Mingshu couldn’t help but turn to look at the number. When she saw the 500, she was shocked herself.

Did Lu Xiao really guess it right?

"Godmother, amazing, amazing, amazing," Lu Xiao exclaid while wildly gesturing thumbs up.

A smile also appeared on Liu Mingshu’s face. A Heavenly Man First-tier with top-level talent, she had indeed not let her great-nephew down.

"Last but not least, Goo Clan’s Lu Xiao, please," the announcer said.

All eyes instantly zipped to focus on Lu Xiao.

"Here he cos, what do you think Lu Xiao will score?" one asked.

"His Inner Strength is at the Second Stage of Heavenly Man, so the talent machine will directly assess him as a Heavenly Man Second Rank, which has to be at least over 500," another speculated.

"I guess it won’t be too high, as his realm hasn’t quite reached there yet. He is just strong with Inner Strength," one person mused.

"I think, around eight hundred," soone else ventured.

The higher-ups were abuzz with speculation.

"Team Leader Liuli, what do you think it will be?" soone asked.

Imdiately, everybody’s attention turned to Liuli Hong, as she held the most weight in such a discussion here.

"He... is only 23 years old," Liuli Hong exclaid.

Everyone was montarily taken aback. Damn, they had almost forgotten to consider Lu Xiao’s age.

Age is an important factor in talent machine assessnts.

Given Lu Xiao’s age, his value might shoot through the roof. Eight hundred be damned...
