After about half a month, enough mid-level adventurers will be recruited for the experiment.
The total number of people was forty-nine—Sui Xiong felt that his "Commander" value was definitely not as good as Leonard's, so he reduced it by half. At the same time, he felt that "forty-nine" seemed taller than "fifty", so he reduced the number by one.
Compared with nearly 500 applications, this acceptance rate of less than one tenth is really... natural. Neither the applicants nor the staff of Northwest Republic felt anything was wrong.
The legendary strongman recruits students, and the requirements are lowered to the middle level, so the selection should be more stringent. It would be wrong if we recruit students indiscriminately without distinguishing between good and bad.
If that were the case, the applicants would be a little worried, because it meant that this senior expert didn't take everyone to heart and just randomly selected some people.
Now, this senior has not even recruited fifty people, which shows that he has indeed chosen carefully. Some of the selected candidates are very outstanding in their own right, and some are not outstanding enough, but they must have some potential that has not been discovered by everyone. In short, there will definitely not be any fluff.
This made those candidates who were selected feel confident, while those who were not selected were envious of them.
As for protests or doubts... The living standard of this world is much lower than that of the earth. A relatively harsh society cannot cultivate good people with overflowing compassion. If the weak are not humble enough towards the strong, they will only be regarded as crazy by everyone. No one will have even the slightest sympathy for them.
Compassion is such a precious thing, and no one would use it on a twitchy idiot. Like some people on earth who climb over high walls and then over barbed wires, and insist on running in front of tigers to deliver goods to their doorsteps. In this world, they will never get the slightest sympathy. On the contrary, some people will wonder whether they have eaten something. Things that can cause abnormal mental excitement, or there may be neurological problems in the first place...
Kindness and fraternity are predicated on comfortable living conditions. Therefore, it is common in developed areas to see holy mothers who love dogs and cats more than people, but in barren and desolate areas, there are only tough guys who grit their teeth and swallow blood and tears. This is not an acquired trait, it is just the result of cruel and natural elimination.
Compared to these applicants, the staff of the Northwest Republic did not think much. They just respect the senior masters of their country. In their view, it is reasonable and reasonable for senior masters from their own country to have stricter requirements when recruiting students. The admission rate of about one-tenth is actually quite high to be honest.
There is nothing wrong with this idea. Assuming that mid-level adventurers are equivalent to ordinary undergraduate graduates from ordinary prestigious schools, then legendary powerhouses are equivalent to Nobel Prize winners, or academic leaders who preside over large Nobel Prize-level research institutes. . When a person like this recruits researchers, they should be selected from top students in famous universities. Now that the requirements have been lowered, it is natural that the selection should be stricter.
Sui Xiong himself felt a little sympathy for those who were not selected. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to give a traveling fee to all those who applied. The travel expenses are not much, which is equivalent to the cost of traveling from their hometown to Void City and back from Void City.
This unexpected income made those who were not selected overjoyed, and also made those who were selected even more excited - it seems that the senior is a kind person, which is obviously a good thing for them.
Soon, they knew they were wrong.
Sui Xiong is indeed a kind man, but this does not mean that he cannot transform into a devil instructor.
In order to prevent being recognized, when he appeared in front of these students, he transformed into a man who was nearly three meters tall and weighed a conservative estimate of five or six hundred kilograms. His muscles were as ferocious as granite, except for his face. There's something human about it, so he won't be thought of as a monster.
This appearance came from a comic that Sui Xiong had read before he traveled through time. He forgot the name of the comic, but he remembered that there was a very handsome villain in it. He was usually a young man with a short hair and black sunglasses, but once his fighting power broke out, his muscles would become Extremely explosive, it can even become like armor.
In that comic, the villain is actually not particularly strong. According to the later plot, it seems that he can't even get into the second line. But his strong temperament is very admirable. Compared with another powerful and handsome villain with a split personality, his "strong" has a clear positioning, and he appears to be impeccable both physically and mentally. After watching it, I felt like "Ah! This is what a powerful villain should look like!"
"Hello." Sui Xiong, who transformed into a super strong man, looked at the group of students in front of him who had changed into uniforms with ferocious eyes, and squeezed out a "kind" smile on his face with muscles bulging out on his cheeks. "I hate nonsense. What I should tell you, I will tell you naturally in the future. So, let's do some warm-up exercises first."
As he spoke, he moved his neck a few times and made a clear "clacking" sound.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the warm-up area."
The so-called "warm-up venue" is a comprehensive open-air fitness center. Sui Xiong put several sets of various fitness equipment in his memory here, and there is a smooth and elastic running track around it.
"Start practicing with the method you are used to, and stop when you feel tired." Sui Xiong said, "I just want to see how you usually exercise."
This requirement is not high. For warriors who can reach the intermediate level through their own efforts, it is normal to practice until they are sweating.
The limit of ordinary people is only the elementary level. If you want to break through this limit and understand the fighting spirit, you must go through arduous training, tap the inner potential of the body in extreme fatigue, or stimulate the potential in a life-or-death struggle. Generally speaking, the former is the majority, and even the latter will not lack hard practice. Those who can reach such a state must work very hard even if they come from a noble family.
So the students went directly to the fitness equipment without any complaints or questions.
Generally speaking, these fitness equipment are not complicated, and you can master their usage with a little research. The students quickly got into the enthusiastic training and were in high spirits.
The physique of the people on earth is much weaker than that of the warriors in this world, so they pay more attention to the meticulousness and comfort of fitness equipment. Compared with the fitness equipment in this world that has good effects but tends to be silly, big and black, the Earth-style fitness equipment may not be particularly effective, but the comfort is completely different.
As soon as the students started using them, they felt the high quality of these things. More than one well-off student began to study these equipment carefully, planning to follow the same pattern when he returned home and come up with such a set by himself after the study was over.
Their thoughts were naturally understood by Sui Xiong, so Sui Xiong secretly laughed in his heart, but he had already contacted the church personnel, gave them a set of drawings, and asked them to make several copies of the samples and put them in the shop in Void City. , see if it can be sold.
It would be quite interesting if this thing could be promoted...
