Chapter 2894: Chapter 2894: High-Intensity Assessment
"Stop talking nonsense."
Ji Qingyan playfully scolded, "Go eat quickly, it’s the physical fitness test today, don’t be late."
"Got it."
After eating something casually downstairs, Lin Yi took a taxi to the test site.
Compared to the written exam, at least a third fewer people came for the physical test.
But for Lin Yi, no matter how many people are eliminated, it doesn’t affect him.
As long as the written test is passed, getting the job is practically guaranteed.
"I heard they’re only recruiting 30 people this time, but over 300 passed the written test. The acceptance rate is less than 10%," said a short man with a middle parting.
"You should also consider what kind of position this is; they can’t just casually hire that many people."
Speaking was a man with short hair, standing confidently under the shade of a tree.
His name was Sun Ming, one of the four special recruits.
No need to take the written test—passing the physical test alone would be considered passing the assessment.
The person next to him was his childhood friend, named Zhou Chunkai.
"And let me tell you, although it says 30 people will be recruited, you must reach the standard. It’s not ranked by position. Even if you get into the top 30, you won’t be accepted if you don’t meet the standard."
"Meeting the standard isn’t a problem, but the issue is, I’ve heard many great talents have come, and four spots are filled by special recruits, leaving fewer opportunities for others."
Zhou Chunkai said:
"Sun, I really envy you for being specially recruited. I might not make it."
"Even as a special recruit, I still have to take the physical test, and there are three others like me, so I’m also under pressure."
"A physical test is no big deal for you; otherwise, they wouldn’t have specially recruited you. What pressure could you have?"
"My pressure doesn’t come from you guys, but from the other three," Sun Ming said:
"Our results could affect future development, so I can’t slack off; I have to get first place."
"I can’t understand matters at your level, as long as I can have a stable job."
Lin Yi stood next to them, clearly hearing their conversation.
Didn’t expect to encounter a big shot who’s a special recruit.
"Bro, you look like you have tender skin, why are you here to test for a firefighter? With your looks and physique, you could easily be a model."
The person speaking stood next to Lin Yi, slightly dark-skinned, flashing two rows of white teeth when he smiled, looking very sociable.
"Being a firefighter has been my dream since childhood, so I applied," Lin Yi lied casually.
"Bro, you’re impressive; your awareness is much higher than mine."
The man extended his hand, "My name is Li Dong, let’s be friends."
"Lin Yi," Lin Yi replied.
"Have you ever tested yourself at home?" Li Dong asked.
"I heard the physical test is pretty crazy; if you fail even one item, you’re out."
"Haven’t tested, but it should be about right," Lin Yi said:
"And it makes sense for it to be strict. After all, it’s a matter of life and death, so the selection process needs to be stringent."
"That’s a reasonable point, but I’ve heard, the final overall score is the sum of the written and physical tests. If your written score is high, you might have an advantage."
While speaking, Li Dong looked at Lin Yi.
"Bro, what was your written score?"
"61."
"Wow, finally met someone lower than me, looks like my 62 isn’t the lowest."
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, "Looks like we’re in the same boat."
"Isn’t that right, because of this connection, I’ll treat you to lunch."
"Sounds good, sounds good."
"You two have some nerve, with 62 and 61 points, you’re still thinking about food," Zhou Chunkai said.
"What? Just because our scores are low, we can’t eat?" Li Dong said.
"I didn’t mean that, just reminding you not to waste your time," Zhou Chunkai said:
"They’re only recruiting 30 people. With special recruits and veterans, there are over 100, and you guys just barely passed the written test. You’re not going to outdo us in the physical test, entering the exam is just a waste of time."
"Now you’re underestimating us. Although we came in through open recruitment, our stamina is decent."
"So what if it is? Forget comparing to Brother Ming, even against me, there’s a big gap. Besides, I scored 89 in the written test. Do you think your physical test can make up for that?"
Upon hearing this, Li Dong was taken aback, not expecting the other party to have such a high written score.
Compared to him, he had no advantage.
"It’s just a slightly higher written score; what’s there to be proud of," Li Dong said nonchalantly:
"The test hasn’t started yet, no one knows what the final score will be."
Zhou Chunkai shrugged, "If that’s how you think, it’s fine, it’s none of my business anyway."
"Alright, don’t bother with them, let’s just focus on our stuff," Sun Ming said, evidently not considering the two people seriously.
As a special recruit, Sun Ming had his own pride.
His target was the other three, and people like Lin Yi and Li Dong who came through open recruitment were not in his sights at all, nor would he even look at them properly.
"Gather!"
At that moment, a commanding voice rang out.
Several uniformed men walked over from a distance.
Those who came for the physical test found their positions and stood still, though not very neatly.
The incoming examiners didn’t make a fuss about it.
"Welcome everyone to the firefighter exam. Let me first introduce myself; I am the instructor for this assessment, my name is Wang Qin."
"Hello, Instructor."
"No need to be so formal, relax," Wang Qin said with a smile:
"Today is the physical fitness test, and I’ll explain the specifics to everyone."
"The physical test is divided into 7 events: the first is a 1000-meter run, the second is a standing reach, the third is a standing long jump, the fourth is pull-ups, the fifth is push-ups, the sixth is a 100-meter run, and the seventh is a weighted stair climb. If you fail any of these events, you will lose your qualification for the exam. Once you pass, we will use the overall score to select the top 30 for acceptance. I hope everyone prepares well and achieves a good result."
Upon hearing Wang Qin’s introduction, many people grimaced.
Such a high-intensity physical test might be too much for them to handle.
"Instructor Wang, I have a question," Li Dong raised his hand and said.
"Alright, go ahead."
"I want to ask how many days these 7 subjects will be tested over?"
This was a concern for others as well.
If the assessment was spread over a few days, they would have enough rest time, increasing their chances of passing the physical test.
"It will be completed in one day."
