Chapter 78 The assessment begins!
The fourth star ring vacated the council hall and placed the star network connecting the entire body capsule.

Nearly 1000 silver-plated cabins, shimmering with silver light, clearly indicate their high value.

Melina, the Director of the Education Bureau, spoke first: "This is a highly anticipated exam. Your every move will not only be recorded by [Nuwa], but will also be broadcast live in front of everyone."

"Your seats are randomly assigned. The full-body capsule will provide the energy your body needs, and the realism will reach 99.9% once you enter the StarNet."

Melina said seriously, "I hope everyone will treat this test as a real battlefield and not harbor any illusions. Next, we will hand over command to [Nuwa]."

Nuwa's voice rang out from the council hall's sound system: "Attention candidates, please enter your assigned full-body capsule within 10 minutes. The capsule number has been sent to each person's AI."

Lin Xiaohe glanced at the smart brain, which displayed [Cabin: 01].

01 is the most eye-catching bag placed at the very front.

There was only one full-body capsule in that row.

Lin Xiaohe clicked her tongue, wondering if this was something Nuwa had deliberately arranged.

But it doesn't matter. Her excellence is as dazzling as the moon at night. No matter how low-key she is, it cannot hide her brilliance.

Lin Xiaohe was very confident that at least half of the audience watching this match were there to see her.

Ignoring the faint gazes around her, Lin Xiaohe strolled leisurely to the front and quickly climbed into the full-body cabin.

Inside the hall, a soft, unconvinced snort rang out.

Once all candidates were ready, Nuwa officially opened the examination hall.

Lin Xiaohe felt as if her consciousness was weightless, being pulled into a void.

The silvery data stream, like rays of light, passed through her body.

[Hello, Lin Xiaohe, I am Nuwa, the chief examiner for this exam. Please listen carefully to the instructions for this exam.]

[Rule 1: To ensure fairness in the examination, all equipment will be provided by the Federal Government.]

Rule 2: To exit the exam, simply press the emergency help button.

Rule 3: Do not overexert your mental and physical energy during the exam, as this risks damaging your mental and physical strength.

The final interpretation right belongs to Nuwa.

After saying this, Lin Xiaohe was placed in the StarNet examination room.

boom!
A bomb fell from the sky.

Lin Xiaohe scrambled and crawled into a nearby crater.

She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling a wave of fear wash over her; she had almost been eliminated.

A notification sound from [Nuwa] came to my ears.

[Brave Federation soldiers, please note: The capital planet has fallen. The enemy launched a blitzkrieg with five times the manpower; the Federation space fleet has been completely annihilated, ground forces are divided and surrounded, and supply lines have been completely cut off.]

President Johnson refused to surrender and called for national resistance, but was ultimately captured after being betrayed.

Your mission is to rescue President Johnson.

[Number of Federal Operations Team Members: 1035]

The background and mission are very clear; it's truly worthy of being a product of Nuwa.

Lin Xiaohe felt heavy-hearted. The pink little bug hadn't gone into the Star Network with her, so what about Xinbao and the others?
Xinbao: [Xiaohe, we're all here.]

The personal image and data in the examination room are restored 1:1 by [Nuwa] scanning the individual's real data.

After activating the [Five-Star Matrix], Xinbao and the others already had a symbiotic relationship with Lin Xiaohe.

Therefore, Nuwa treated them as part of Lin Xiaohe and projected them into the Star Network.

Lin Xiaohe knew she wasn't fighting alone, and breathed a sigh of relief, which gave her the peace of mind to observe her surroundings.

This is an abandoned federal artillery base located on a hill, surrounded by dense bushes.

Enemy artillery fire roared through the air and landed near the base. Lin Xiaohe lay motionless in the shell crater, while a fierce battle was raging not far away.

It should be at the two o'clock position, where nearly a hundred Imperial mechs are besieging a Federation mech squad.

The missile launcher occasionally emitted a piercing whistle as it launched laser-guided missiles one after another.

The federal squad quickly found itself at a disadvantage.

Hald opened the player: "Calling for backup, calling for backup!"

Outside the examination hall, people were discussing the candidates' performance.

Melina: "Is this a simulation of the Battle of Selfa?"

"Yes, that's right. The candidates from the second and third star rings have all studied this battle and know how to break the deadlock. The candidates from the fourth star ring and Lin Xiaohe will be at a disadvantage."

The Deputy Minister of Education of the Third Star Ring said: "It seems that Nuwa has a high evaluation of Lin Xiaohe's strength, which is why she placed her on the outskirts of the capital city."

Of the more than 1000 examinees, apart from Lin Xiaohe and Halder's group, the rest were all placed in the capital city.

Compared to these 1000 lucky individuals, Lin Xiaohe faces an additional hurdle: getting into the city.

Cassian knew more about Nuwa: "Nuwa always believed that there is always a glimmer of hope in everything. Halder and his group were the assistants that Nuwa left for Lin Xiaohe."

If Lin Xiaohe can save Halder and his group, they will have a chance to get closer to the capital city.

Judging from the previous two assessments, Lin Xiaohe is a very strong, confident, enthusiastic, and responsible qualified soldier.

How will she save Halder and the others?
Surprisingly, Lin Xiaohe made no attempt to rescue them.

She lay in the crater like a real corpse, her breathing barely audible.

Lin Xiaohe kept her eyes tightly closed.

She wouldn't go to save anyone.

Without weapons or mechs, how can we fight the enemy?!

The missile's exhaust plumes crisscrossed, filling the entire battlefield.

The sounds of the energy machine guns and the explosions of the shells were like a symphony in harmony.

Lin Xiaohe lay there peacefully.

But this tranquility was not what anyone, including Nuwa, wanted to see!

What they want to see is a fight! Whether it's using intelligence or overwhelming strength, it's all about fighting, not lying here and doing nothing.

“This is really…” Cassius frowned deeply, completely baffled as to why Marshal Chu would choose such a timid person.

Ivand was also feeling frustrated.

Anyone randomly picked from the Central Military Academy would be far better than Xiao He!
"Is she going to lie here forever? But their mission is to rescue the president! If Lin Xiaohe can pass the test with this kind of performance, I have to suspect that there is something fishy going on."

Everyone was talking about it, saying that so far, Lin Xiaohe had not shown any of the courage and fighting spirit that a soldier should have.

Weasley retorted, "What do you know?! Having guts doesn't mean you're brainless. In this situation, whoever goes in will die!"

Some countered, "There's a fully functional mech near Lin Xiaohe, equipped with all the necessary weapons and gear. She's perfectly capable of climbing onto it to rescue her."

"That's right. Lin Xiaohe is timid and cowardly, which is why she doesn't dare to go."

Weasley retorted, "Lin Xiaohe has her reasons for doing this."

"What's the point?"

Weasley retorted confidently, "I don't know! How could I possibly guess what the big boss is thinking?"

"laugh!"
