Chapter 78

Seeing Chen Zhiyi's signal, the researcher increased the setting to level eight.

At this point, it was clearly visible that Yu Siying's expression was pained, to the point where she could hardly bear it.

In comparison, Sui Qiang's condition was a bit better, but he was also enduring it with great effort.

"Siying's condition is about right. If she can endure a bit more, we might be able to push to level nine, but it could be dangerous," Ning Che said.

"Sui Qiang is doing well. Reaching level nine shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Yi nodded, her thoughts aligning with Ning Che's.

"About right, stop the second machine," Chen Zhiyi said.

The operation indicator light of the second machine went out, and Yu Siying's expression quickly calmed down.

The first machine, where Sui Qiang was, continued and, at Chen Zhiyi's signal, increased by one more level.

When it reached level nine, the new recruits present drew in a sharp breath.

This was a level that only team leaders could achieve!

And an ordinary member of Team One had done it!

No wonder they were a distinguished team; these people were truly exceptional.

"Stop the first machine."

Seeing that Sui Qiang had reached his limit, Chen Zhiyi had the machine stopped.

The level nine setting also left many of the new recruits in awe.

Even Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo cast admiring glances.

After level five, each increase in level would exponentially increase the stimulation to the muscle cells.

For them to achieve such results was already very impressive.

Lin Yi, however, felt that such results were to be expected.

Apart from himself, Sui Qiang had the best physical condition, and reaching level nine was within expectations.

On the other hand, Yu Siying reaching level eight was very reassuring to Lin Yi.

She was a woman and not particularly strong, so reaching this level was already very good.

"Boss, this level should be okay, right? I didn't embarrass you, did I?" Sui Qiang asked with a laugh.

"Very good."

Then, Lin Yi looked at the others in Team One. "You continue."

"Come on, Qiqi, let's give it a try."

Xiao Bing pulled Luo Qi, preparing to experience it.

"Wait a moment."

Just as the two were about to go, Yu Siying called them over and took Sui Qiang to the side, looking at him.

"Did you take everything off when you went in?"

"Yep." Sui Qiang nodded.

Yu Siying looked at Xiao Bing and Luo Qi. "When you go in, take everything off your bodies."

The two reacted for a moment, understanding what Yu Siying meant.

She was referring to the bracelets and rings they were wearing.

"Got it."

The two nodded and walked toward the machine.

At the same time, Lin Yi came over. "What's the matter?"

"Look at this."

Yu Siying took off her ring, and Lin Yi noticed a dark mark on it, as if it had been burned.

"How did this happen?"

"Before the experiment, we had to take off our clothes. Director Chen reminded me to take off my bracelet, but I forgot about the ring on my hand," Yu Siying said.

"When it reached level five, I felt my finger getting very hot, and by level eight, I couldn't bear it anymore."

Lin Yi frowned slightly, thinking for a few seconds before understanding the reason.

Whether it was the ring or the bracelet, they were items from the island.

The core of the two machines was also made from minerals obtained from the island.

There must have been some reaction between the two, causing this effect.

Lin Yi grabbed Yu Siying's hand and examined the burn mark.

"It's not a big problem. Apply some ointment afterward, and it should heal in a month."

"It's a minor issue, it doesn't hurt."

After that, everyone's attention returned to the machine.

At this point, the level had already been increased to four.

In the end, both of them reached level seven, which was their limit.

This result was in line with Lin Yi's expectations.

The two were relatively weaker in Team One and had their own specialized roles. Reaching this level was already very satisfactory for Lin Yi.

Soon, the remaining members of Team One also entered the machine one by one.

The results were all within Lin Yi's expectations.

Sui Qiang reached level nine.

Yu Siying, Zhang Chao Yue, Shao Jianfeng, and Zhao Yunhu all reached level eight.

Xiao Bing and Luo Qi both reached level seven.

Overall, their levels had already surpassed those of ordinary members.

This left the new recruits watching in awe, each of them envious.

"Team Leader Lin, it's your turn. Show us what you've got."

Ning Che raised her head and said, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She wasn't the only one with this thought.

As the distinguished team leader of the Central Guard Brigade, Lin Yi's reputation had reached a level of admiration.

Now, there was a chance to see his level directly, and everyone wanted to know his limit.

At the same time, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor.

Everyone saw that the other new recruits, who were training outside, had also run over to watch.

Such an opportunity was rare, and no one wanted to miss it.

Lin Yi was taken to the back by the researcher.

"Team Leader Lin, you need to take off your clothes and just wear your underwear."

"Okay."

Lin Yi took off his clothes. Seeing the scars on his body, the researcher was moved.

Truly deserving of the title of distinguished team leader of the Central Guard Brigade, all his honors were earned through these scars.

The researcher took several patches and placed them on the most muscular parts of his body, then sent him into the machine.

"Start at level five. Starting too slow would waste time."

"Team Leader Lin, that might not be a good idea. It's your first time, so it's better to start gradually."

"It's fine, just do as I say."

"Understood."

The researcher left and went to Chen Zhiyi.

"Team Leader Chen, Team Leader Lin said to start at level five."

Chen Zhiyi paused. "Alright, do as he said."

"Okay."

Soon, all the preparations were complete, and the training officially began.

"Wow, he jumped straight to level five," Ning Che said in surprise.

"Given his level, starting at level five shouldn't be a big deal. He probably won't even feel it," Liu Hong said.

"That's true."

Ning Che agreed. "What do you think his final score will be? I feel it should be at least level ten."

"I think it should be around level twelve," Qiu Yuluo said.

"Strength is his strong point, something ordinary people can't match. His muscle structure must be superior to ours."

"Probably around level thirteen," Liu Hong said, giving his opinion.

"Let's wait and see."

While they were talking, the level had already jumped to nine.

Lin Yi remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened.

"Truly worthy of Team Leader Lin. He's already at level nine and looks like nothing's wrong. I'm so envious," Ning Che said.
