Chapter 34: Assessment

Zhang Yuan was also tempted. In the past few years, he had come to the county town many times, but this was the second time he saw the notice of recruitment in the county government. This was just like the civil servant recruitment in Zhang Yuan's previous life, and there must be many people participating. He was not interested in the errands and postmasters. He was interested in the patrol position! The reason was simple. The benefits of being a constable in the government were quite good, and the most important thing was that he could learn martial arts! Previously, Zhang Yuan had inquired many times and paid some silver. He learned that ordinary people wanted to learn real martial arts, and there were four ways to choose. The army, the government, the gang and the martial arts hall! There were martial arts halls in Linhe County, and there were more than one. However, Zhang Yuan asked and learned that martial artists like him who had already entered the martial arts needed to sign a contract with the martial arts hall and serve for the martial arts hall for three years before they could receive personal teachings from the owner.

If you don't want to sign a contract, you can just pay a high amount of silver. Zhang Yuan asked three martial arts halls, and the conditions were basically the same. And he couldn't even afford the tuition! Zhang Yuan finally understood why he couldn't warm Gao Liehu's heart even after working for him for three years. Because in Gao Liehu's eyes, what he did was not worth the tuition. How could he accept Zhang Yuan as his disciple? The martial arts school was not feasible, and Zhang Yuan had no intention of joining the army. The only options left were the government office and the gang. The government office must be stronger than the gang! Now such an opportunity suddenly appeared, and Zhang Yuan certainly couldn't miss it. So he immediately rushed to the county government compound to sign up according to the regulations on the notice. The county government compound was already crowded with people, and it can be seen that the attraction of taking the civil service exam is almost the same in different worlds. The iron rice bowl is really good! After paying the registration fee of one or two silver coins, Zhang Yuan successfully filled out the patrol assessment and received a numbered bronze medal representing the candidate's identity. It was quite formal. Compared with the lowest-level police officers, the application requirements for patrol officers are much higher - they must be martial artists. Zhang Yuan originally thought that there were not many people who met the requirements. But when he arrived at the scene, he found that this idea was too optimistic! The patrol officer assessment is divided into three rounds: strength test, interview and martial arts test. The first two rounds were scheduled for five days later.

After registering, Zhang Yuan returned home and prepared for this assessment with all his heart. Since the requirement is to be a martial artist, it must be a martial arts test. Zhang Yuan's current strength and cultivation are not a problem, but the problem is that he is not proficient in martial arts. Once he fights with others to decide the outcome, this is his biggest weakness. In order to make up for this weakness, Zhang Yuan has been practicing "Rock Pillar Kung Fu" more diligently these days, and he has also spent every day soaking in medicinal soup to do his best to improve his upper limit of qi and blood. His biggest reliance is the Shenchao host. The higher the qi and blood value, the longer the time to bless the extraordinary ability. In this way, day after day, five days passed quickly. On the appointed day, Zhang Yuan changed into a new set of clothes and rushed to the county government compound to take the exam. There were already many warriors participating in the exam in the county government compound, and four stones were placed in the center. Stones are weapons used to defend the city. When the enemy approaches the city wall, they are smashed from above. Ordinary warriors cannot withstand the impact of stones. The four stones are of different sizes, and there are signs erected behind them, indicating the weight. They are 300 jin, 500 jin, 700 jin and 1,000 jin respectively! Can 300 jin be considered the starting standard for the strength test? Zhang Yuan was somewhat puzzled. But this did not prevent him from waiting in line patiently. When the time came, the gate of the county government was closed, and the first round of patrol assessment was officially announced. "Number one, Wang Xinming!" As the chief examiner called out the names again and again, one warrior after another went on stage for the first round of strength test. Strength is the most basic standard for testing the gold content of a warrior. The warriors who take part in the assessment can challenge in sequence, so most people first try the lowest level of 300 jin, and then challenge 500, 700 or even 1,000 jin after passing the test. But there are also some who are very confident in their own strength and start directly from 500 jin! "Number 27, Zhang Yuan!" When it was Zhang Yuan's turn, he also chose 500 jin as the starting point. According to the requirements of the assessment, Zhang Yuan squatted down and opened his arms to hug the stone in front of him. The next moment, he suddenly exerted force to lift the stone weighing 500 jin and held it for ten breaths. "Ding!" The gong sounded, indicating that Zhang Yuan had passed the first level of the strength test. After entering the strength and becoming a warrior, Zhang Yuan practiced "Panshi Zhuanggong" diligently every day, and insisted on using medicinal soup to bathe his body to promote the enhancement of physical fitness and blood.

Over this period of time, it can be said that it has been very effective. At present, Zhang Yuan can still burst out more than 500 jin of strength without the help of Shenchao. So this level is not difficult. He patted the stone powder on his hands and stood in front of the second 700-jin stone. This time, Zhang Yuan quietly activated the parasite and added double the power of the black giant ant to himself. His strength instantly rose to over 1,000 jin. The 700-jin stone was easily taken down! Under the surprised eyes of the crowd, Zhang Yuan continued to challenge the 1,000-jin stone. In the county government compound, everyone's attention was focused on him. "Get up!" Holding the largest stone tightly, Zhang Yuan suddenly exhaled and spoke, and the muscles of his arms swelled at the same time. The thousand-jin stone rose three feet above the ground! The crowd was in an uproar. "Awesome!" "What a hero! Whose son is this?" "Thousand-jin strength, peak of dark energy!" "I don't think he has dark energy, probably born with supernatural power." "That's also amazing!" The warriors present were talking about it, and some were whispering to each other. Shock, astonishment, envy, jealousy... Everyone looked at Zhang Yuan with complicated eyes, and some of them were quite unfriendly. There is no doubt that Zhang Yuan is one of the most powerful people among all those who participated in the patrol assessment this time! When the time came, Zhang Yuan put down the thousand-jin stone. Then he got a sheet with the "A-grade" evaluation and went to the wing room next to the compound. To accept the second round of interviews. After a cup of tea, Zhang Yuan, who was originally full of confidence, walked out of the wing room with a confused look on his face. The second round of interviews was hosted by three examiners, who asked Zhang Yuan many questions in turn. Including his date of birth, address of origin, family situation, etc.

The questions were quite detailed. The last examiner gave a "C-level" evaluation, and two gave the worst "D-level". The three combined as "D-level", eliminated Zhang Yuan on the spot, and he was not even qualified to participate in the last round of martial arts test. Even if he got "A-level" in the first round! One of the examiners seemed to be reluctant and said that if Zhang Yuan was willing, the county government could directly recruit him as a policeman. If there is a chance in the future, he can still be promoted to patrol. The other two examiners agreed with this, and they looked like they were rewarding Zhang Yuan. To be honest, Zhang Yuan really had the urge to burst out four times the strength and beat these hypocritical guys to death on the spot! But such an impulse can't solve any problems, it will only put him in an irretrievable situation. So Zhang Yuan held his breath and politely declined the other party's seemingly well-intentioned proposal. He left the county government office with a depressed mood. As soon as he stepped out of the door, a voice came from behind: "Brother, please wait a moment!"
