The God of Eternity

Yu Xiaoxiao

In Yu Jing's view, the seven people, including himself, were completely different in all aspects.

The last three arrivals were a middle-aged woman with a stern face, a fat man in his twenties, and a tough and hale old man in his sixties who already had some white hair.

"How could there be a fat guy? What on earth are the selection criteria for the testers? Isn't the principle for test subjects to keep them as uniformly similar as possible?"

As the seven people arrived and took their seats, a voice came from the bottom of the monitor.

"All seven testers for this round have arrived. This round of testing will start at 8:00 pm tonight. You now have two hours to have your meal and communicate with each other.

To avoid interference with the test, our staff will not have any contact with you throughout the process. You can all choose to leave before the test."

"However, once the test starts, every tester must stay until the end of the testing period. Now it's your mealtime. Enjoy yourselves."

When the voice ended, the film covering the delicious food on the dining table automatically dissolved and disappeared.

When the sumptuous meal was revealed, the already starving fat man started gobbling it up without any regard for his appearance.

There was at least enough food for fourteen people on the table, more than enough to fill the fat man's stomach.

"The test will start in two hours. Just eat until you're seven-tenths full and try to focus on light food."

Yu Jing ate some light food in moderation. This test was related to his mother's hope of survival.

However, what made Yu Jing a little curious was that the girl who had been sitting in the corner didn't come over to eat. Instead, she took out an apple from her pocket and started nibbling on it alone.

For some reason, perhaps because they were close in age, this girl caught Yu Jing's attention.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Yu Jing asked specifically.

But the girl didn't respond to Yu Jing's question at all. She just kept her head down and continued to take small bites of her apple.

"Okay."

Yu Jing shrugged helplessly and was about to turn around when the girl suddenly looked over. Her clear eyes, like limpid water, made Yu Jing freeze for a moment.

On her fair and jade-like face was a delicate, light pink mouth, and evenly spaced on either side of her straight nose were two exquisite eyes. Her ear-length hair made her look even daintier.

"Get me some food, nothing greasy. Just half a small bowl."

The girl's voice was soft as silk at first, but there was a faint coldness in it.

Yu Jing couldn't really refuse, so he did as he was asked. After picking out some suitable dishes, he handed them to the girl behind him and took the opportunity to ask her name.

"My name is Yu Jing. What's your name?"

When the girl took the bowls and chopsticks, she didn't answer Yu Jing about her name. She just turned around and ate her meal slowly in the corner.

"Yu Xiaoxiao."

She finally replied to Yu Jing after finishing the food in her hands.

"Yu Xiaoxiao..."

Yu Jing murmured, involuntarily curving the corners of his mouth into a smile. After all, this name was "kind of interesting" when pronounced, and it seemed to match the girl's rather strange personality.

"Yu Jing... You seem like an ordinary person, right?" Yu Xiaoxiao said softly. Since everyone was still having dinner at the table, only Yu Jing could hear her low voice.

"Ordinary person?" Yu Jing didn't quite understand the real meaning of her question.

"The way you looked at me just now didn't have that disgusting look that other men have, and the way you served me food just now didn't seem like a bad guy. There's still a chance to leave here. If you want to stay alive, leave quickly."

"Stay alive? What are you talking about?" Yu Jing had no idea what this girl was talking about.

This time, the girl didn't respond to Yu Jing's question. Yu Xiaoxiao continued to sit motionless in the corner, turned to the side.

"Weird person..." Yu Jing didn't take Yu Xiaoxiao's words seriously at all. He turned around and stopped eating when his stomach was seven-tenths full.

"This fat guy can really eat."

Yu Jing noticed that among the seven people present, except for the fat man, everyone else resisted the delicious food in front of them to some extent. But the fat man had almost eaten all the food by himself.

At that moment, the fat man was sprawled on his seat, lifting his belly clothes without a care in the world and patting his big belly.

"How was he selected as a tester?"

Yu Jing looked the fat man up and down. The fat man was so full that he could hardly walk, and Yu Jing was puzzled.

Three minutes after everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, the dining table quickly retracted the remaining food plates inside.

The table was only made of a special material board ten centimeters thick. It was unclear how it managed to take in the plates, and soon the tabletop was as clean as new, without any oil stains from the previous meal.

"Truly worthy of a research institute." The white-collar man with glasses exclaimed.

"The broadcast just now said that the upcoming test, although we don't know if we'll be together for it, we're all strangers here. Introducing ourselves to each other might ease the tension. Since we're all testers who passed the screening, we might end up working together in the future."

This white-collar man was quite good at talking and making connections, so he made the first suggestion.

"My name is..."

At this moment, the seemingly strict middle-aged woman immediately interrupted the man's self-introduction: "I don't think it's necessary at all.

In my opinion, someone here will get the 3.5 million bonus in this test. Once your real name is leaked, with your appearance, it's actually quite easy to find you with a little effort.

"The security in the A-level urban area might not put your life at risk, but I assume that since we're all here because we're short of money, we're all ordinary people from inferior counties.

With 3.5 million in a lower-class county, you'll become the target of everyone."

Before the white-collar man could say his name, the middle-aged woman who arrived later said crossly. Judging from her perpetually strict expression, it seemed that she had been hostile to everyone since entering the institute.

But the middle-aged woman wasn't wrong. The security in Yu Jing's C-level Pingxiang County was indeed quite problematic.

However, Yu Jing didn't see things as seriously as this middle-aged woman did. Yu Jing had already told some of his information to Jiang Tian and Yu Xiaoxiao earlier.

Although he wasn't sure if what Jiang Tian said was a lie, Yu Jing felt that Yu Xiaoxiao's name was definitely real.

Because of what the middle-aged woman said, the atmosphere became unpleasant even before the test started.
