Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

Chapter 6: Challenging the Newcomer Combat Power Rankings

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Peter walked into the training room and found that it was empty.

He only saw a huge object placed in front of him.

This was an intelligent testing machine used to test challengers.

It was currently turned off.

The activation method was very simple. As long as one entered the testing range of the intelligent testing machine, it would automatically activate.

Then, Peter entered the testing area. The intelligent testing machine automatically scanned his eyeballs after it was activated.

This was to confirm Peter’s identity and information.

If Peter’s test results could get into the rankings…

Then the information on the ranking board would be updated immediately.

After confirming Peter’s information, a holographic interface appeared in midair.

The interface displayed a list of newcomer challenge categories.

The newcomer challenge was divided into three categories.

For the first category, the power of his punch had to reach 1,000 kilograms, which was equivalent to a combat power value of 1,000.

For the second category, he had to run at a speed of 15m/s, which was equivalent to a combat power value of 1,500.

For the third category, his body’s reaction would be tested. He had to obtain one star, which was equivalent to a combat power value of 6,000.

Only by reaching these values of the above three categories could one participate in the Newcomer Rankings.

It was very easy to understand the first two categories.

However, why did combat power value needed for the last category increase by so much?

He operated the interface and selected the last category.

Then, a more detailed description appeared.

A few minutes later, he closed the holographic interface in front of him.

It turned out that after the newcomer who challenged the third category entered the testing machine…

They had to dodge attacks from different directions while standing inside the designated circle.

It was mainly to simulate the attacks of mutated creatures.

It could be a mutated snake creature.

It could even be a mutated bird of prey.

According to the difficulty selected by the challenger, the intelligent testing machine would arrange for mutated creatures of similar levels.

For example, if the new challenger did not step out of the circle and endured the attack of E-Grade mutated creatures for six seconds…

The challenge would be successful.

They would also obtain one star.

The ability to endure for six seconds corresponded to a combat power value of 6,000.

If they could endure for seven seconds without getting injured, they would obtain two stars.

The combat power value obtained would also increase to 7,000.

By this analogy, as long as he could last 10 seconds without getting injured, he would obtain five stars.

Next, Peter locked his eyes on the Newcomer Rankings on the holographic interface.

Currently, the first person on the Newcomer Rankings was someone called Eric.

He received a reward of 5,000 points from the Genetics College.

Seeing that the first place would receive a reward of 5,000 points…

Peter was very envious.

He had no choice. After all, his need for food was greater than anything else.

By selecting Eric’s name, Peter could check the results of his three challenges.

[Eric]

[Power]: 1,569kg (Combat Power Value: 1569)

[Speed] 15.8m/s (Combat Power Value: 1580)

[Neurological Response Quotient]: Four Stars (Endured for nine seconds without getting injured. Combat Power Value: 9.000).

[Combat Power Value] 12,149

Peter then clicked on the second place results.

The person who had ranked second place had a combat power value of 9,982.

His power had reached 1,502 kilograms, and his speed had reached 14.8m/s.

However, he had only received two stars for his neurological response quotient, which meant that he had endured for seven seconds.

Peter found that the algorithm for combat power value was fair.

Take the third category, the neurological response quotient, for example.

The passing standard was to last for six seconds, and one would receive an additional combat power value of 6,000.

It should be known that Genetic Warriors did not have mechas to protect themselves when fighting mutant creatures.

At this time, the reaction of the Genetic Warriors to dodge the attacks from the mutated creatures would be tested.

If a Genetic Warrior was very powerful, but had very slow reactions…

It would be impossible for them to survive on the battlefield.

Then, Peter controlled the holographic interface in front of him and began the first challenge.

The first challenge was the power test.

After the intelligent testing machine received Peter’s selection of the power test, a punching machine immediately rose.

After the eye-catching bullseye appeared…

Peter stretched his upper limbs. He felt that he was in a good state.

Bang!

Peter punched the bullseye accurately. There was a hint of joy in his eyes.

“Test complete!”

“Power: 7,254kg!”

The sweet, simulated female voice reported the data for Peter’s power test.

The results were not bad.

It was slightly higher than expected.

Next up was the speed test.

This time Peter didn’t have to control the machine. Instead, the testing machine proceeded straight into the second test.

After the punching machine sunk underground, the ground under Peter’s feet turned into a treadmill.

As the treadmill began to accelerate, the speed detector began recording Peter’s speed.

11.5m/s…

15.3m/s…

18.8m/s…

Du du!

A moment later, the final result was displayed on the speed detector.

It was 20.7m/s!

This was almost the same as the value given by the system previously.

After testing his speed, the testing machine waited for ten minutes.

This was to give Peter time to catch his breath.

Ten minutes later, Peter’s breathing had stabilized.

Then, the final test began.

It was the neurological response test!

Of course, it was also the most difficult test. After all, it was very difficult to not be injured by the sudden attacks.

Du du du!

An ear-piercing alarm sounded, indicating that the attacks of the mutated creatures was about to arrive.

When the alarm went off, a mutated gray wolf suddenly appeared on Peter’s left.

The timer began!

After Peter successfully dodged the attack of the mutated gray wolf, another mutated ferocious bird appeared above him.

At this moment, Peter’s attention was highly focused and he kept dodging.

The timer exceeded six seconds…

After dodging the attack from a mutated python…

The timer exceeded eight seconds…

Suddenly, Peter noticed that the light around him had dimmed.

Damn it!

The testing machine had deliberately dimmed the brightness, making it more difficult for the test-taker to dodge attacks.

After sensing the sudden change in light, Peter could only rely on his feelings and instinctively make evasive movements.

A dark shadow passed under his armpit.

The timer exceeded ten seconds!

Du du du!

The alarm on the testing machine suddenly sounded, and the surrounding light returned to normal.

Peter looked down to find a red mark on the outside of his thigh.

This was proof that he had been hit.

Then, the testing machine produced a sound.

“Newcomer Challenge Test completed.”

“Student Peter’s final combat power value is…”

“19,324!”
