C1342 The World of Ordinary People
Baptista is only 17 years old this year. However, his height had already reached 2. 05 meters. However, because he had always been malnourished, his body had become slightly thinner.
However, even so, Baptista was still the strongest person in their mining area!
Others could only dig about 500 kilograms of ores a day, but Baptista could usually dig up more than 1,000 kilograms of ores!
Therefore, he could get more water and food from the foreman every day than others.
However, Baptista was not like the others, who could be satisfied with only the lowest grade of water and food. He yearned very much for higher quality and less polluted water and food.
Therefore, even if he could earn more than others every day, the quantity would be extremely limited. It would only be able to maintain his basic physiological needs and daily consumption.
This had always troubled Baptista. He did not like such a life. He was different from the other people who were content with their current situation. He yearned for a better way out and a higher position!
He didn't want to be buried in the depths of the mine for the rest of his life. From life to death, he would have to dig nonstop.
However, he could only think about it. No matter how dissatisfied and unwilling Baptista was, the reality was that as long as he didn't mine, he would definitely starve to death!
He could not even enlist in the army. More than half a year ago, the company recruited a new army. Baptista wanted to enroll in the company with great anticipation, but in the end, he was told that laborer miners were not qualified to participate in the selection of the new army.
All the new soldiers would only be selected from the higher levels of civilians, and there were many contacts who had informed them in advance.
In this current era, the profession of a soldier could be considered superior.
This time, the blow to Baptista was huge. What made him most painful was that he could not see any hope at all.
He could only eat and drink food and water of a higher level than other miners. Other than that, he could not find anything special about himself.
Living in the mine every day was a process of wearing down one's life force, and the spread of the pathological tissue in one's body was getting bigger and bigger. Sometimes, Baptista was not even looking forward to the future like he did in the past.
Until three days ago, the entire Atville suddenly announced a piece of news. There was an audition for the Cutting-Edge Martial Force Training Program among all the people in the Atville!
This kind of audition did not question one's background or status!
As long as one had sufficient talent and strong willpower, as well as absolute confidence in oneself, one could sign up!
And those who sign up will have to pass through three tests. Those who pass the test will be treated as the company's most promising and promising warriors and be heavily nurtured!
At the same time, these warriors would also receive personal guidance from the company's CEO, Qin Yunyi! Basically, the selected warriors could be considered Qin Yunyi's personal guards!
This kind of advertisement content immediately made Baptista fall into an extremely excited state!
He did not care about his background, nor did he care about his status!
Baptista almost instantly felt that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Baptista had absolute confidence in himself. He just needed an opportunity! As long as he had an opportunity, he would be able to soar into the sky!
Therefore, after learning about the contents of the advertisement, Baptista changed his daily income to the lowest quality of water and food. In the next two days, Baptista did not go to the mining area. Instead, he ate until he was full. After that, he rested his spirit and went to the registration point of Seventh Division, the headquarters of Atville, with full confidence.
The thirteen settlements under Atville all had places for registration. After the publicity was released, these thirteen registration points had been in an extremely popular state.
As a result, the Administrative Department had no choice but to open up a large number of regions for registration points to use. In order to allow the registration process to proceed in an orderly manner, the Administrative Department used a large number of personnel to carry out logistics work.
Even so, the registration points were still extremely crowded.
All the residents in the Atville expressed great enthusiasm for this audition!
When Baptista arrived at the headquarters' Seventh Division registration point, he saw a sea of people in front of him!
The Seventh Division registration point was set up in the square below the headquarters' central building.1
After the expansion, the square, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, was now side by side, crowded with people.
Baptista looked at the scene in front of him and could not help but be stunned. Before this, he had never seen such a big scene.
But soon, he realized that even though there was a huge crowd in front of him, it was obviously very orderly.
He randomly found a long line and lined up in a line. Then, he followed the line and wiggled bit by bit.
The registration point in front seemed to be the first stage of the auditions at the same time. Only by passing the first stage of the auditions could one be considered to have successfully registered.
Baptista was very curious and wanted to see further. However, there were too many people in the crowd that were taller than him, so Baptista could not see anything at all.
As the line kept moving forward, Baptista looked back and saw more and more people queuing behind him. He could not help but feel happy.
The happiest thing about the line wasn't that there were fewer and fewer people in front of them, but that there were more and more people behind them. This was absolutely a reasonable explanation.
After queuing for almost two hours, Baptista finally arrived at the registration point.
The person in charge of registration was a Rank-8 powerhouse.
As the number of experts in the seventh district of the headquarters far exceeded the number of other settlements, the experts in charge of registering in the headquarters were clearly on a higher level than the people in the settlements.
"Age. " The expert in charge of registration looked at Baptista and asked.
Baptista was a little nervous. After being stunned for a while, he said, "Seventeen. "
"Height. "
" 2. 05 meters. "
" Oh. . . If you're 17 years old, come, this strength testing machine, if you can produce more than a ton of numbers, you'll pass. " This Rank-8 powerhouse pointed to a machine specially used to measure fist strength behind him and said.
Baptista was stunned for a moment, then he hurriedly walked to the front of the machine. He took a deep breath and then heavily punched the machine!
"Bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang. . . "
After a series of fine sounds, the number displayed on the Strength Testing Machine actually reached 1,750 kilograms.
The Rank-8 powerhouse in charge of registration was obviously very satisfied with this number as well. He sat back down in his seat, looked at the 3D projection in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"
"Baptista. "
" Baptista? A regular miner in the eastern sector of the headquarter, Cassel Iron Mine?" The Rank-8 powerhouse raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, it's me. "
"Mm, very good. You can go back. Registration for the first round is calculated. You have passed. The time for the second round is set to be one week later. Prepare well. Since you've already passed the first stage of the examination, you don't have to worry about your diet for the next week. The company will take full responsibility for it. "
The Rank-8 powerhouse said very amiably.
Baptista immediately bowed with a face full of excitement.
