Chapter 235 – A-Rank and Above

There were fewer people testing today, but still many. After waiting for half an hour, it was finally Su Hao’s turn.

Unexpectedly, it was the same female Catalyst counselor. Even more unexpectedly, she actually remembered Su Hao a little.

The reason for her memory might be the incredibly cute giant rat printed on Su Hao’s clothes?

It’s not important. What’s important is that the Catalyst counselor’s attitude was stern: “Haven’t you been tested already?”

Su Hao said, “That’s right!”

The Catalyst counselor immediately became impatient: “I see so many people every day, I don’t have time to play childish games with you, hurry up and get out! Don’t disturb my work.”

It could be seen that this person, after dealing with countless children’s tests every day for the past few days, was on the verge of a mental breakdown! She was about to completely explode.

Su Hao thought it was troublesome, frowned, and directly countered with the most practical words: “I just paid twenty thousand, and I want to be re-tested!”

The Catalyst counselor was about to get angry but held back. She still led Su Hao inside, but couldn’t help but grumble, “I hate people like you the most, who act recklessly just because they have money! Don’t you know how busy we are? Do you know how truly annoying you are! If you don’t have talent, you don’t have talent, why bother? You have fun, and we suffer. We can’t even handle the normal people, and we still have to work repeatedly for people like you who are acting on selfish reasons or just for fun…”

This Catalyst counselor kept complaining. She knew that the child next to her couldn’t understand, but it didn’t matter if he didn’t understand; she just wanted to vent.

People in the testing room heard her incessant chatter and couldn’t hide their disgust.

Working with such a bad-tempered person was a real torment. Having to endure the other person’s constant complaints every day ruined an otherwise good mood.

When will this mental torture end!

But no one said anything more. Everyone just went about their business. They all knew that it was best not to provoke women like that, lest you get into trouble.

Su Hao knew that the Catalyst counselor wasn’t targeting him, but the rich and willful person behind him.

Su Hao understood, but that didn’t mean he would tolerate it. Listening to the nagging in his ears, he yelled loudly and sternly at the Catalyst counselor: “Shut your damned mouth, or I’ll break it!”

Who isn’t tired from work?

Who isn’t fighting with all their might to live?

Why should I listen to your complaints?

The Catalyst counselor was stunned. She looked down at the short figure who only reached her waist.

This little runt right in front of her, who didn’t even have the Summoner talent, dared to yell at her?

All the grievances she had suffered these days burst out. She threw Su Hao’s form to the ground and yelled back: “Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you’re small! Get lost, you untalented little beast!”

Su Hao jumped up and punched the Catalyst counselor right in the mouth, sending her staggering backward to the ground, her mouth full of blood!

Now she was completely stunned!

Everyone in the testing room was shocked!

Immediately after, a schadenfreude joy crept onto their faces. They were all trying their best to hold back from laughing.

No one cared how Su Hao, such a small child, managed to knock down an adult.

Because this punch struck a chord with them. It made them feel refreshed, and they almost jumped up on the spot to applaud loudly, shouting: “Well done!”

Su Hao picked up the form that had fallen on the ground himself. Without needing the Catalyst counselor, he sat down on the testing chair and handed it to the recorder.

The recorder took the form with a beaming smile and gave Su Hao a thumbs-up.

This kid actually did something they only dared to think about but not do.

Quickly, he put the helmet on Su Hao and started the test.

The Catalyst counselor seemed to finally realize what had happened. Just as she was about to fly into a rage, two colleagues next to her immediately stepped in to stop her, comforting her: “Why get angry with a child? Kids don’t know any better! Forget it, forget it!”

Meanwhile, Su Hao had already forgotten about her.

When the light lit up in his vision again, spreading into distorted threads, Su Hao surprisingly did not see a chaotic mess of lines like last time.

As these lines entered his sight, under the action of his brain, they converged to form an infinitely looping spatial pattern. With the movement of the lines, this spatial pattern slowly tore open, connecting to another space, and then merging back together, repeating this flow.

The test soon ended!

The helmet automatically came off, and Su Hao looked at the tester.

The tester’s face was full of surprise at this moment.

The result of the test made the Recording Officer almost unable to believe it.

He had just brought up Su Hao’s previous test data, which was ‘Normal,’ and now this test had changed to ‘Above A-Rank’?

What was going on? Could the computer have malfunctioned!

The tester’s mind was in a mess. Seeing that the strange child was looking at him, the tester pointed to another stool, motioning for him to sit there.

Su Hao nodded in understanding, got up, and moved to the second testing platform to sit down.

The helmet was put on again.

The testing officer stared intently at the data on the monitor.

Soon, regular blocks reappeared in Su Hao’s vision, starting to twist and transform. But this time, the changes were no longer a chaotic distortion to Su Hao’s eyes; they became a magical effect of space curvature and folding.

At this point, Su Hao finally understood how to test if someone had Summoner talent.

This testing method was indeed simple and precise.

People without talent would see this mass as just a pile of crap, their minds a muddled mess. But those with talent could perceive a different landscape within it.

The helmet was removed.

Although the Recording Officer found it hard to believe, he still performed his duty and first delivered the good news to Su Hao: “Congratulations, Bai Jing Zhong, you have Above A-Rank talent!”

Then, a large red stamp was firmly affixed to the ‘Above A-Rank’ section of the form!

The sound was so loud that everyone in the testing room could hear it.

Su Hao found the Recording Officer much more agreeable now, reducing his aversion to the people in this testing room.

Regardless, professionalism was a fundamental principle; one must do their job well while on duty.

Unlike that Catalyst instructor, who acted as if the whole world had wronged her for the slightest bit of effort.

But people like that were everywhere. What could one do but endure?

Fortunately, Su Hao possessed strength. He was too lazy to even consider compromising over such trivial matters. If he disliked something, a single punch could resolve his frustration.

At this moment, the Catalyst instructor also heard the tester’s words and was once again stunned on the spot.

She almost jumped up and shouted ‘Impossible!’ or something similar, but luckily, a colleague accompanying her quickly grabbed her mouth to silence her!

Soon, the electronic broadcast echoed throughout the hall: “Congratulations to Bai Jing Zhong for achieving Above A-Rank Summoner talent on the second test!”

“Boom—”

The testing hall immediately became lively, like a concert venue.

When they heard the electronic broadcast, everyone couldn’t believe what they heard.

“Did I hear that right? A-Rank or higher?”

“You heard right, I heard A-Rank or higher too!”

“Is this the third A-Rank or higher from Yongxin City this year?”

“Another great genius!”

…

The most shocked person was Sister Bai, who was waiting by the side door!

She couldn’t help but pull someone next to her and ask, “Did the broadcast just say Bai Jing Zhong has A-Rank or higher talent?”

That person replied, “It should be correct!”

Sister Bai immediately ran to the main entrance and saw Su Hao walking out with a smile, waving the form in his hand at her.

Sister Bai was in a daze and murmured, “It must be fake…”

But when she took the form from Su Hao and saw the large red stamp in the ‘A-Rank or higher’ column, Sister Bai knew she hadn’t misheard!

Bai Jing Zhong was acting very arrogant at this moment, even waving at her and saying, “Sister Bai, the thirty thousand yuan is yours!”
