"Everyone, please be quiet!" Sergeant Ives said in a deep voice through the loudspeaker equipment of the exoskeleton armor on his body.
All the young people present stopped chatting and looked at Sergeant Ives.
"The auction held by the Titan Consortium will start in three hours. As usual, there will be some fun activities before the auction. Everyone is welcome to participate. Of course, the prizes are also very generous!" Sergeant Ives said as he spoke. clapped hands.
The staff took out three exquisite all-wooden boxes and put them on the table beside them.
"These three boxes contain the exchange certificate for first-class weapons, the third-class funding contract of the Titan Consortium, and the recommendation quota of the consortium, which can help you get better job choices when you enter the government, company and army!" Sergeant Ives pointed to the three wooden boxes on the table and said.
His voice was very flat, but the young people present were excited.
"Jim, what is the third-class sponsorship contract?" Myron asked softly.
"Myron, that's not for you and me. Only heaven can enjoy it. Before becoming a soldier, the annual subsidy of one million credits will become a subsidy of three million credits per year after becoming a soldier. Thirty years old." Jim shook his head and sighed.
"David, this is good, come on!" Myron said excitedly to David.
"I prefer the exchange certificate for first-class weapons." David didn't fancy the third-class funding contract, and tied himself to the Titan Consortium for one million credits, which was a bit uneconomical.
Even the three million credit points per year in the future, he didn't like it.
He didn't notice the confidence that he showed when he spoke, and the few people around him didn't care, everything seemed natural.
"If it were me, I would choose the quota recommended by the consortium." Daly said softly aside.
Jim also nodded, and he thought the same.
People like them who are not considered geniuses actually choose to work after they have no hope of becoming a soldier.
And the consortium recommendation quota is the best help, which can make their starting point much higher than others.
"Look at the event, it may not be easy to get rewards!" De Quincey said in a deep voice.
In fact, several people here understand that these prizes are not so easy to get, their hope is slim, and the only hope is David.
Sergeant Ives paused for a while, let the young people present discuss for a few minutes, and then coughed lightly.
"There are three items in the activity, one is quick answer questions, the questions are all high school knowledge, and will not involve content beyond college, the one with the highest correct rate within the specified time, and the one who answers the most questions wins.
The second event is a squash game. In a sixteen-sided closed room, the longer the time to return the ball without mistakes, the higher the score.
The three items are to fight with me, the longer you persist, the better your results will be!
You can participate in any one or more items at will, and the person with the highest score in each item will have the right to choose a prize. Of course, the order of selection is also arranged according to their performance. This point is fair and just for the Titan Consortium. "
Sergeant Ives' voice stopped, and the surroundings became noisy again.
"Mr. Ives, you use exoskeleton armor, we can't even withstand a single blow when we fight with you!" The local Hector said in a deep voice.
As a quasi-military soldier, he naturally chose to win the prize by fighting, but this time the difficulty was too great.
"I only use one-tenth of the power, and I don't know how to use high-grade weapons!" Sergeant Ives replied in a deep voice.
Hector nodded, expressing his understanding.
"Mr. Ives, do you want to restrict weapons, otherwise, if someone uses a second-grade weapon, it will have a great advantage!" Bruno said loudly at this time.
"Bruno, the weapon itself is a part of strength. If you have the ability, you can also get a second-grade weapon!" Before Sergeant Ives could answer, Jim retorted dissatisfiedly.
But at this time, no one supported him. No one wanted David to use a second-grade long sword, and there were still two, which was too advantageous.
It is estimated that if the Ives soldiers do not use high-grade weapons, they will be greatly restricted in battle.
"For the sake of fairness and justice, all weapons used must be provided by the consortium!" Sergeant Ives waved his hand and decided.
"Okay, it's fair and just!" Many young people shouted.
"Jim, it's okay, I can fight without a second-level long sword!" David patted Jim who was still about to talk, and said with a smile.
"That's right, David showed them the warhammer!" Myron also said aside.
"I wish you all a good time!" Sergeant Ives spoke, and the ring rose again under him.
Next to the hall rises a sixteen-sided transparent room, which is where the squash games are played.
And another quick answer can be done directly with the identity bracelet, just need to connect to the answering system.
David was very curious about the squash. He also had squash in his previous life, but it was not as complicated as that.
At this moment, someone has already signed up for squash first. It is a thin young man who should be very confident in his reaction speed.
After receiving a racket, he stood in the middle of the sixteen-sided transparent room, a gap appeared in the ground, and a ball the size of a tennis ball shot out from it.
The speed of the ball is very fast, and the angle of shooting is also irregular.
After hitting the racket in the hands of the thin young man five times in a row, the speed of the ball was obviously faster. When he hit the racket for the sixth time, he rubbed the ball with the side of the racket, which made the ball move faster. become very strange.
The bouncing ball prevented him from finding the trajectory of the rebound, and the sixteen transparent rooms glowed red.
The skinny young man came out disappointed. He was very dissatisfied with his grades, but there is no second chance here.
"David, you haven't played squash, have you?" Myron asked softly.
"No, there shouldn't be such an activity in school, right?" David shook his head and said.
"Squash is only practiced in college, and you don't usually go to high-end clubs to play, so of course you don't have the opportunity to get in touch with it!" Myron replied.
"This sport is really good. It should have a good training effect on reaction speed!" David is very interested in this sport.
"When I go back, I'll take you to play. It's a pity that you can't participate in this activity this time. I'll sign up to see if I get good grades!" Myron patted David on the shoulder, a picture of regret However, David didn't look like he was a pity, but a gloating reaction.
Sergeant Ives has not challenged yet, but just now Hector was asking the staff something, and it seemed that he was choosing a weapon.
David checked that it was all right, and directly connected the answering system with his identity bracelet.
Talent is not just force. The reason why the Titan Consortium includes quick answering questions in the three activities is also an incentive for knowledge-based talents.
As for knowledge-based talents, if they choose a three-level funding contract, some of the content will naturally change accordingly, which is also an emphasis on knowledge-based talents.
In fact, among the young people in the hall, those with invitation cards were all from a group of people with profound backgrounds in their respective cities.
The young people brought by the owner of the invitation card are the elites of their respective cities. In this way, almost all the geniuses in a city can be attracted.
Some of these people in the hall want to become soldiers, and some are gifted in cultural knowledge.
The answering system is very simple. The questions are all multiple-choice questions. Choose the correct answer among the five items.
But the switching speed of the answering system is very fast, and it will automatically switch to the next question in five seconds.
Of course, if you are fast enough, you can take the initiative to switch to the next question.
After opening the answering system and reading the instructions, David entered the state. He blocked the noise around him, and his spirit as high as 3.73 made his concentration extremely strong.
When the first question appeared, he considered it for three seconds before answering, but then his speed became faster and faster, and he kept switching answers. Five seconds was too long for him.
Jim on the side saw that Myron's squash game was about to start, and was about to call David to watch it, but found that David was answering questions quickly.
He couldn't help but patted himself on the head. Could it be that David is still an intellectual
It didn't look like David was answering questions randomly, he looked around and decided not to watch Myron's game, but chose to protect David from being disturbed.
