Chapter 193
After about half a month, the mid-level adventurers used for the experiment were recruited enough.
A total of forty-nine people - Sui Xiong felt that his "commander" value was definitely not as good as Renard, so it was reduced by half. At the same time, he felt that "forty-nine" was more lofty than "fifty", so he reduced it by one.
Compared to nearly 500 applications, this is less than 1 in 10 acceptance rate...... Stand to reason. Neither the conscripts nor the staff of the Northwest Republic felt that anything was wrong.
The legendary powerhouse recruits students, and the requirements are lowered to the middle class, so it is appropriate to be a little harsh. If you don't distinguish between good and bad, it will be wrong.
If that's the case, the recruits will be a little worried, because it means that the senior powerhouse didn't take everyone to heart, and just chose some random people.
Now, this senior didn't even recruit fifty people, which shows that his old man has indeed carefully selected. Some of the selected applicants are outstanding in their own right, and some are not good enough, but they must have some undiscovered potential, and all in all, there will be no indiscriminate filling.
This made those who were selected full of confidence, and those who were not selected were envious of them.
As for protests or suspicions...... The standard of living in this world is much lower than that of the earth, and the relatively harsh society cannot cultivate rotten good people who are overflowing with compassion, and if the weak are not humble enough to the strong, they will only be regarded as a brain twitch beating, and no one will have even the slightest sympathy for them.
Compassion is such a precious thing, and no one will use it on a brain-pumping fool. For example, some people on the earth who climb over high walls and then over barbed wire fences and insist on running to the tiger to deliver goods to their doors, in this world, they will never get the slightest sympathy, but some people will wonder if he has eaten something that can cause abnormal mental hyperactivity, or if he has a problem with his nerves......
Kindness and fraternity presuppose a prosperous life. Therefore, in developed areas, it is common to love dogs and cats more than people, but in barren and barren areas, there are only tough guys who grit their teeth and swallow blood and tears into their stomachs. It's not something acquired, it's just the result of natural elimination.
Compared to these conscripts, the staff of the Northwest Republic did not think so much. They just respect their country's predecessors and masters. In their opinion, it is reasonable for their country's seniors to recruit students, and the requirements are strict, and the acceptance rate of about one-tenth is honestly quite high.
There is nothing wrong with this idea, assuming that a middle-level adventurer is equivalent to an ordinary undergraduate graduate of an ordinary prestigious university, then a legendary powerhouse is equivalent to a Nobel Prize winner, or an academic bigwig who presides over a large Nobel Prize-level research institute. Such a person recruiting researchers should be selected from the top students of famous universities, but now that the requirements have been lowered, it is natural that the selection should be stricter.
Sui Xiong himself had a little sympathy for those who were not selected, and after a little consideration, he decided to give a passage fee to all those who came to apply. The cost of the journey is not much, which is equivalent to the cost of them coming to Void City from their hometown and then returning from Void City.
This unexpected income made the unsuccessful candidates overjoyed, and it also made the inductees even more cheerful - it seems that the senior is a kind person, which is obviously a good thing for them.
Soon, they knew they were wrong.
Sui Xiong is indeed a kind person, but this does not mean that he cannot become a devil instructor.
In order to prevent being recognized, when he appeared in front of these students, he turned into a man who was nearly three meters tall, weighed a conservative estimate of five or six hundred pounds, and his muscles were as hideous and vicious as granite, but his face looked somewhat human, so as not to be recognized as a monster.
This appearance comes from a comic that Sui Xiong had read before, and he forgot the name of the comic, he remembered that there was a very handsome villain in it, usually a young man with black sunglasses, but once the combat effectiveness broke out, the muscles would skyrocket, and even become like armor.
In that comic, the villain isn't really strong. According to the later plot, he doesn't seem to be able to even get into the second line. But his strong temperament is very admirable, compared with another powerful and handsome but split personality, his "strong" has a clear positioning, both physically and mentally impeccable, making people have a feeling of "ah! A powerful villain should be like this!".
"Hello. Sui Xiong, who had turned into a super strong man, looked at the group of students in front of him who had changed into uniform with vicious eyes, and even the muscles on his cheeks squeezed out a "kind" smile, "I hate nonsense, what I should tell you, I will naturally tell you in the future." So, let's do some warm-up exercises. ”
As he spoke, he moved his neck a few times and made a clear "rattle" sound.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the warm-up grounds. ”
The so-called "warm-up venue" is a comprehensive open-air fitness gym, where Sui Xiong has put several sets of various fitness equipment in his impression, and there is a well-groomed and elastic running track around it.
"Start the practice the way you're used to it and practice until you stop when you feel tired. Sui Xiong said, "I just happened to see how you usually exercise." ”
This is not a high requirement, for martial artists who can reach the middle level with their own efforts, it is normal to practice until they sweat to warm up.
If you want to break through this limit and comprehend the fighting spirit, you must go through arduous training, tap the inner potential of the body in extreme exhaustion, or stimulate the potential in the struggle of life and death. Generally speaking, the former is the majority, and even the latter will not lack hard practice. Those who can achieve such a state, even if they come from aristocratic families, must be very hardworking.
So the students didn't have any complaints or questions, and went straight to the gym equipment.
The gym equipment is generally not complicated, and you can learn how to use it with a little research. The trainees quickly engaged in the training in full swing, and the mood was very high.
The physique of the earthlings is much weaker than that of the warriors of this world, so they pay more attention to the meticulousness and comfort of the fitness equipment. Compared with the fitness equipment in this world that works well but tends to be stupid and black, the earth-style fitness equipment is not necessarily very good, but the comfort is completely different.
As soon as the students started to use it, they felt the high quality of these things, and more than one of the students who were quite wealthy began to study these equipment carefully, planning to wait for the end of the study, and when they returned home, they would also draw a scoop according to the gourd, and toss such a set by themselves.
Their ideas were naturally seen through by Sui Xiong, so Sui Xiong smiled secretly in his heart, but he had already contacted the personnel of the church and gave them a set of drawings, and asked them to make a few copies of the samples and put them in the shop in Void City to see if they could sell them.
It would be interesting if this thing could be promoted......
