Lan Se brought Han Sen to the testing center. She wanted to test his fitness before assigning him a job.
Han Sen thought Planet Kate looked like a modern society, and he thought the testing center would be similar to the testing center in the Alliance. He thought the testing center would be similar to the testing center.
But when Han Sen went in, he realized he was wrong.
There was only one hall in the testing center, and there was no testing room. In the middle of the hall was a semicircle. There was a flower pot, and inside it was a small tree. It was around one foot long, and it looked like a bonsai.
However, the small tree was completely black and did not have a single leaf. It was bare and did not look beautiful at all. It looked like a withered potted plant.
There were a dozen people in line, and Lan Se asked Han Sen to join the line.
As soon as Han Sen stood up, he saw a man at the front of the group walk to the platform. He reached out his hand and used his other hand to cut his middle finger with a dagger. Blood began to ooze out of the wound.
The man dripped a drop of blood onto the potted plant that looked like a dead tree. The blood seemed to drip onto a sponge, and it was immediately absorbed into the wood.
Han Sen was surprised to see this. The dead tree absorbed the man's blood, and then it started to grow. It did not grow leaves, though, but red flowers. Not long after, the flowers bloomed. They were like red bells, and they were very pretty.
Han Sen looked at the flowers, and he could see how many there were. There were twenty-three of them, and they were all red.
"Twenty-three flower powers. That's not bad for normal people. You can do most normal jobs with a fire element," Lan Se said.
"Officer Lan, how much is one flower power?" Han Sen did not know what twenty-three flowers meant, so he asked with curiosity.
"One flower power is one flower power. What do you need to convert it to?" Lan Se looked at Han Sen with confusion.
Han Sen was speechless. This place looked like the Alliance, but there were many differences.
Soon, the bell-like flowers withered and melted. In the end, nothing was left. The small tree still looked like a withered tree.
After the man, the people in front of him went to take the test. They were like the man, and they dripped a drop of blood onto the tree. Flowers of different colors and numbers grew on the tree.
Most of the people there were adults, and they had twenty flowers. There were red, yellow, blue, green, purple, white, green, and black. They represented their attributes.
Finally, it was Han Sen's turn. Han Sen walked up to the platform and cut his finger. He let a drop of blood fall onto the branch of the small tree he was standing on.
Han Sen was curious to see how many flowers he could get. According to the standards of the Alliance, before he went to the ruin, his fitness was around one hundred thousand.
But the units there were different. It was hard to tell how many flowers he could get. The adult Kate only had twenty flowers, so Han Sen couldn't get much more than that.
Not many people had come to the testing center that day. They had gone to the crime scene earlier, so they were late. Only two Kate were left behind Han Sen. Including Lan Se and Han Sen, there were only four people left.
Lan Se looked at the small tree with curiosity. There weren't many foreigners on Planet Kate, so she was curious to see what Han Sen's fitness level was.
When Han Sen's blood was sucked into the small tree, it was no different from the Kate's. Flowers grew on the tree.
The flower buds were white. Han Sen did not know what element they represented, but the number of flower buds made his face darken. There were only eleven of them. That meant he only had eleven flowers. That meant he was half as good as an ordinary adult Kate.
Lan Se looked at Han Sen's fitness level and shook her head. If Han Sen were to work with a fitness level like that, it'd be like hiring a child. There weren't many jobs that suited him, either. It'd take a lot of effort to find a job for him.
Eleven white bell-shaped flowers gradually bloomed. They were sparkling and translucent, and their color was very beautiful. However, the color only represented the attribute. The number of flowers represented the strength of the power. Eleven was clearly a little too weak.
Han Sen didn't think much of it, though. He'd been prepared for this, and it was much better than he thought it would be. At least, he wasn't in danger.
Just as Han Sen was about to leave the platform, he suddenly heard a tinkling sound. He looked down and saw the eleven bell-flowers on the small tree. They were all swaying and making tinkling sounds.
Han Sen didn't know what was going on. When the Kate took the test, the flowers would wither. Han Sen thought he had done something wrong, so he looked at Lan Se.
Lan Se's eyes opened wide, and she looked at the bells in disbelief. She was frozen.
There were two Kate waiting in line. When they saw Han Sen only had eleven flowers, they looked down on him. But now, they couldn't believe it.
The tree used for the test was called the Geno Source Tree. It relied on the genes of creatures to survive. The flowers it produced represented the strength of the person who watered it.
The color was the element of the gene, and the number was the power of the gene. Those were the only two things that could happen.
But under special circumstances, there was a third effect. It was when the geno tree wanted that particular gene, and it wanted more of it. That was when the flower made a noise. That noise represented the geno tree's desire, and it also meant that the tester's genes were very good.
It was impossible for ordinary people to make the flowers ring. According to legends, Nobles with geno armaments could make the flowers ring, but Nobles rarely tested their abilities in front of ordinary people. So, most people couldn't be sure if this was true.
There was also a situation where a young man could make the flowers jingle before he had a geno armor. If he could make the flowers jingle before he had a geno armor, there was a high chance he'd be able to generate a geno armament and become a Noble.
It wasn't a hundred percent chance, but it was at least fifty percent. It was much higher than an ordinary person's chances of generating a geno armament.
