The God of Eternity

Tests for Seven People

"The plaque of the institute is displayed outside, and with such a unique metal building, this must be the institute without a doubt."

Yu Jing looked around at the busy street with people coming and going, and occasionally saw patrolling policemen passing by. If this was a fake institute, it should have been shut down by the government long ago.

No one would be so bold as to blatantly deceive people in such a central area.

While Yu Jing was examining the institute, a mature woman in a white turtleneck sweater, holding a map of the A-level student source city, swayed her hips and came to the entrance of the institute.

After confirming that the location on the map corresponded to the name of the institute written on the metal plaque, she stopped and turned to look at Yu Jing, who was dressed in cheap clothes.

The woman asked with a slightly dismissive tone, "Are you also a selected research subject?"

"Yes."

Yu Jing stared at the woman in front of him. Although her appearance and figure were indeed attractive to many men in society, Yu Jing easily noticed a look of disgust in her eyes.

"So, you're also a competitor? Kid, go back to school quickly. It's not that easy to get the money."

The woman swayed her hips and stepped forward to knock on the copper door, but after a long while, there was no response from inside.

"What a lousy place! It was made out to be so high-end on the phone, but no one's answering the door here?" The woman had a bit of a temper and directly hit the copper door with her handbag, but still, there was no reaction.

"Let me have a try."

In daily life, Yu Jing was used to observing the expressions of others and noticing small details of the surrounding environment.

While the woman was knocking on the copper door, Yu Jing noticed a few things worth paying attention to.

First, there was a strip-shaped notch at the lower end of the copper doorknob, which seemed to be for inserting a card. In addition, there was a bell tied to the upper left corner of the copper door for visitors to use.

When Yu Jing stepped forward, the woman, with a look of disgust on her face, stepped aside as if afraid of getting her clothes dirty.

Yu Jing quickly reached out and rang the bell in the upper left corner. Immediately, a liquid crystal screen appeared on the copper door, though it seemed that the power was not connected.

Then Yu Jing took out his ID and inserted it precisely into the slot at the lower end of the doorknob.

"Beep!"

The liquid crystal screen quickly started up, and a scanning ray covered Yu Jing's face.

"Facial authentication successful, iris authentication successful! Tester Yu Jing, welcome to the District 19 Life Research Institute!"

"Please pick up your tester's identification tag on the right side of the door as you enter.

Your ID will be kept by us during the test. Don't worry, your electronic communication device will not be collected before the test starts, and you can contact your family and friends during this period."

"Click, click!" After the mechanical announcement ended, the door automatically opened inward.

Yu Jing deliberately turned to look at the beautiful woman beside him, pointed slightly at the bell and the card slot, and then entered through the copper door.

When the woman, with a disdainful look, tried to follow Yu Jing in, the copper door immediately closed, blocking her outside.

"A woman dressed so flamboyantly, coming here for money, probably has some urgent need too."

Inside the copper door was a long corridor in front of Yu Jing. The wooden door ten meters away was closed tightly.

The walls of the corridor were covered with wallpapers with large flower patterns of different colors. Staring at them for a long time would give the illusion that the flower patterns were spinning.

Yu Jing was in no hurry to move forward and took out his phone to check the signal.

"My ID was taken away, but the communication device can indeed be used as just explained."

Yu Jing first sent a text message to his mother, telling her that he was staying overnight at a friend's place and asking her to have something to eat when she got up.

Then, as prompted, he found seven hooks on the right wall of the corridor. One of them had his tester's number plate hanging on it. The photo seemed to be a one-inch formal photo taken during his physical examination.

"Tester Yu Jing, number Pro—031." A simple description was engraved on the number plate.

Looking at the hooks, apart from the number plate Yu Jing took, there were already two empty spaces, indicating that two people had arrived earlier.

"A test for seven people. If there is a competitive relationship, the one-in-seven chance of getting a reward of over three million is actually quite a high probability."

In Yu Jing's opinion, although he was a bit physically weak at the age of nineteen, his powers of observation and reaction were no weaker than others.

At this time, the copper door opened again, and the woman who had looked down on Yu Jing walked in from outside and took the number plate numbered Pro—035.

Perhaps because of Yu Jing's actions of opening the door just now, the woman's look at Yu Jing had changed.

"My name is Jiang Tian, from B-level Muqiu County."

"Yu Jing, from C-level Pingxiang County."

Although this beautiful woman was willing to start a conversation, Yu Jing wasn't interested in her and guessed that she had ulterior motives for being so friendly.

After introducing himself, Yu Jing walked along the long, straight corridor in front of him and pushed open the wooden door at the end.

First, a fragrant aroma wafted into Yu Jing's nostrils. In the hall in front of him, there was a spacious square table, and on the table were delicious foods that Yu Jing had hardly ever seen in his life. However, they were currently wrapped in a layer of film, so only the fragrance seeped out, and the food inside couldn't be touched.

Around the square table, the two testers who had arrived earlier were already sitting.

One was a man in his thirties, gentle-looking with glasses and a well-tailored suit, very similar to the workers Yu Jing had seen walking on the street when he first arrived in the A-level urban area.

The other was a girl who seemed to be about the same age as Yu Jing, wearing light, form-fitting sportswear. She deliberately sat in the corner. When Yu Jing entered, she didn't move a muscle, and didn't even glance over.

"She seems to be quite an interesting girl from the side view."

Yu Jing didn't keep his eyes on the girl for too long. He randomly found a seat and sat down, pulling his hat over his head. Yu Jing was still not used to interacting with strangers and was thinking alone about the doubts he had about the institute.

While thinking, Yu Jing scanned the hall with his eyes. Apart from the wooden door he had entered through, he couldn't find any other exits. The only other place connected to the outside was the central air conditioner overhead.

In addition, there was a monitor in each of the four corners of the hall, monitoring the situation here in real-time.

"From the moment we entered until now, no staff from the institute has shown up.

The dishes should have been placed here before everyone arrived. The film covering them has a heat-preserving function and will be removed when everyone is here.

That's probably one of the reasons why we were required to arrive before 6:00 pm tonight."

Shortly after, the woman named Jiang Tian arrived here, and then the last three of the seven people also arrived before the appointed time...
