Chapter 28 - Best Ratio 24%? Instrument Malfunction?

Although Gao Xu knew the result long ago, when it was confirmed, he still couldn't help but be excited.

 

Zhang Sheng nodded. "Not bad, you passed."

 

Behind, many people couldn't help but exclaim.

 

"Impressive." "Really want to replace him!" "Heard Gao Xu was originally a Beast Taming genius, got the professional Beast Tamer license long ago, and devoted himself to the research industry out of passion." "So that's it. No wonder he could bring a Silver-tier skill to Entry Level in just a few hours."

 

After checking Gao Xu, Zhang Sheng continued to pick people. The subsequent two boys also passed without mishap. Their formulas could only increase speed by 10%, belonging to the kind that just scraped past the passing line.

 

Zhang Sheng expressed understanding of this. Being able to research a 10% formula in such a short time was already rare talent. Speaking of which, the skill Bide Time, he led a team to research the best ratio. Spent two months deducing to the best, 24%. Knowing that every 1% increase in ratio efficiency is difficult upon difficult, especially harder towards the end. This result of 24% allowed his team to directly win last year's Best Team Award.

 

It was Zhou Qiong's turn.

 

The skill proficiency lit up the yellow light unexpectedly, while the formula ratio directly made everyone's eyes pop out.

 

"20%!!!???" "Holy crap!!" "How is it so high?"

 

Zhou Qiong raised her eyebrows at Yi Tian, seeming to say, I'm amazing, right? Her luck today was simply exploding. After getting the material list Yi Tian gave, she tested out a decent ratio in just a few hours.

 

Zhang Sheng was bewildered. "Is it luck?"

 

Thinking back, their team used two weeks to raise the ratio to 20%, while Zhou Qiong only used 5 hours. He had an impression of Zhou Qiong; she had participated in assessments several times before. Ability was okay, but according to Zhang Sheng's estimation, Zhou Qiong wouldn't pass this time. Standing at the front was already surprising enough. Didn't expect she could actually create such an outrageous result.

 

"Are we really taking the same assessment?" Behind, many people grabbed their hair, doubting life.

 

"Hehe, definitely cheated, right? I don't believe it!!"

 

The few people who passed earlier were also dumbfounded. The distance between 20% and 10% looked like only double, but anyone who knew the trade knew. The difficulty difference was at least 10 times.

 

Gao Xu originally felt confident that first place was secure, didn't expect a monster like Zhou Qiong to appear. "Really a despair-inducing result." Gao Xu sighed, face full of depression.

 

"You are very good." Zhang Sheng exhaled, calmed his mood, and stared at Zhou Qiong with burning eyes. Regardless of the research topic, luck factors exist. But it still couldn't cover up Zhou Qiong's excellence. "Zhou Qiong, pass."

 

Zhou Qiong just smiled a little, not too excited. Because she had already been excited. Now what remained in her heart was all gratitude towards Yi Tian.

 

"Xiao Tian, you really gave sister a big gift."

 

Entering the Research Institute was her goal for many years. To realize the goal, when others were playing, she was studying; when others were dating, she was still studying. It could be said she spent almost all her time working towards this goal. But because of the assessment content reform, the goal that was within reach suddenly became distant. It could be said, if not for Yi Tian, she would have had to spend at least two years preparing again.

 

Maybe because Zhou Qiong's result really shocked Zhang Sheng. Compared to others, he spoke more to Zhou Qiong.

 

"Zhou Tiangang really gave birth to a good daughter, haha." Zhang Sheng stroked his scarce beard, completely forgetting the previous unpleasantness with Zhou Tiangang. "The best ratio for Bide Time is 24%. Your result is already very close to this number. Not bad, not bad."

 

Zhang Sheng's words stirred up another uproar.

 

"24%?" "Meaning Zhou Qiong is only 4% away from reaching the best ratio?" "Good guy, I seem to see a new star in the nurturing world rising."

 

Yi Tian paused for a moment. "What? Best ratio 24%? Isn't it 30%?"

 

Understood. 24% was the limit Zhang Sheng's team found, not the limit of the ratio itself.

 

Listening to the exclamations from all directions, Zhang Sheng seemed very satisfied. "That's right, it is 24%. This is the best ratio I led the team to research last year."

 

Zhang Sheng looked at Yi Tian. "Candidate Yi Tian, it's your turn."

 

He deliberately saved Yi Tian for last. Didn't you want to embarrass yourself? Then I'll let you be the grand finale of embarrassment. At this moment, there was a trace of disgust for Yi Tian in Zhang Sheng's heart. Feeling he was wasting time. But due to procedure, he had to allow him to test.

 

Yi Tian nodded, ignoring Zhang Sheng's gaze. Let Great Sage connect to the instrument and issued the command to use Bide Time.

 

Soon, just like the others. A light lit up on the screen. But the difference was, the light Great Sage lit up was red.

 

"Haha, look, I said he couldn't pass." Several candidates behind discussed animatedly. Yi Tian left a deep impression on them. Frankly speaking, they didn't want to see Yi Tian succeed. Seeing no yellow light lit up, many felt happy.

 

But some candidates were puzzled. "If failed, shouldn't it be no light? What the hell is this red light?"

 

Suddenly someone shouted "Holy crap." Staring at Great Sage as if seeing a ghost. "If I remember correctly, if skill proficiency reaches Proficiency, the test will light up red, right?"

 

Everyone froze. Not only the candidates, the two examiners finally realized what happened.

 

"How is it possible?"

 

Because Zhang Sheng never expected to see a candidate raise skill proficiency to Proficiency in the assessment, when he saw the red light turn on, he didn't react immediately. Just 5 hours, no matter how genius a Beast Tamer is, they can't nurture a Silver-tier skill to Proficiency level, right?

 

After a brief daze, Zhang Sheng chose not to believe.

 

"Hehe, the testing instrument must have malfunctioned."

 

So he looked at Yi Tian, his voice somewhat urgent. "Candidate Yi Tian, the instrument might have had a little problem just now. So test it again."

 

Yi Tian chuckled lightly. It seemed the examiner didn't quite believe him.
