The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 398 - 174: Regional Cleanup, Land of Nightmares (Part 2)

"He seems completely uninterested."

Qin Jiajia shook her head: "What a pity."

"What’s the pity?"

Beside them, a shorter man spoke up: "The team slots are limited. From now on, we’re comrades, acting together. Everyone is important. This person seems very young; if he takes a slot, it may not be a good thing."

Saying this, he glanced at Qin Jiajia: "Although I was brought in by you, your judgment seems rather poor. Why would you pick him?"

Hearing his words, Qin Jiajia turned back to gaze deeply at him, without a word, her eyes faintly revealing a trace of disdain.

"Enough."

On one side, the captain’s eyes darkened, stopping him from speaking further.

"Qin Jiajia’s choice isn’t without reason."

He spoke with a heavy voice, looking into the distance, towards where Qin Jin had disappeared: "The difficulty of the planet-clearing mission is not low. This task is not publicly announced for everyone. There aren’t plenty of fools volunteering to die."

"This young man, to dare come alone, either is some genius with enough self-confidence or comes from a prominent family with adequate backing."

"Either way, if he could join us, he’d be an asset."

"Continue looking for other teammates."

The short man opened his mouth to say something but ultimately remained silent.

...

Inside the base, silhouettes moved swiftly.

Qin Jin walked quickly.

Regarding the rules of the Pioneer Base, he had naturally understood in advance through Candle Kite.

This time, although it’s an academy task, he originally came alone, surrounded by strangers, with no intention of joining another team.

He had long surpassed the stage where he needed to cooperate with others.

Finally.

In front of a multi-story building, Qin Jin stopped, entering inside.

There were fewer people inside, and upon entry, a staff member in a Federation uniform approached, asking: "Sir, is there anything you need?"

"I want to undergo the solo evaluation."

Qin Jin spoke calmly: "I have made an appointment in advance, Corridor Star System, Qin Jin."

"Please wait a moment."

The staff turned and walked towards the office area.

Qin Jin stood quietly.

A large number came to participate in the clearing mission, and naturally, many chose to act alone.

Inside the base, there’s a designed evaluation area, operating round the clock.

However...

Qin Jin accessed the task through the academy channel, thus skipping the queue, coming directly to this special place for evaluation.

This is also due to Martial Abyss’s influence within the Federation.

Shortly afterward, another staff member approached from the office, kindly: "Mr. Qin Jin, please follow me."

Following behind, Qin Jin stepped to the back of the building, where there were a dozen five to six-meter-high instruments placed here, at the center of the instruments, was a rune-decorated steel surface, which looked quite special.

"Mr. Qin Jin, stand at the center and activate your primordial power."

The staff raised a hand pointing to the side screen: "The Pioneer’s evaluation is divided into five levels, the highest level, Level Five, allows participation in any clearing task on the planet."

"Other ratings have significant differences in the level of tasks they can participate in."

"I understand."

Qin Jin nodded, without hesitation, stepping directly onto the instrument’s central ground.

The instrument initiated.

With a faint sound, runes glowed beneath Qin Jin, simultaneously, he keenly sensed a force rising around him, continually converging, attempting to envelop his entire body.

"Ambiguous detection."

With Qin Jin’s current understanding of the extraordinary, he immediately discerned its function.

This is an extremely ambiguous power detection. The gathered surrounding power likely set multiple force thresholds corresponding to specific evaluation grades.

Not everyone wants to completely expose their progress.

This ambiguous detection enables participants to more easily accept and still achieve the purpose of the evaluation.

Thoughts turned.

The external forces swiftly converged.

Qin Jin remained calm and motionless.

Externally, the staff who guided him hesitated, preparing to remind.

Just then, the external forces contracted into a human shape, enveloping Qin Jin, and in the further contraction, the evaluation power was abruptly shattered and seemingly disappeared completely.

Domain!

A Martial Arts Grandmaster constructs an outer cycle; unless actively released, the domain never leaves the body.

Qin Jin neither activated the primordial power, but the domain constantly operated. As the external power approached, the swift primordial power crushed everything.

On one side of the screen, the level area was initially blank, but at this moment, digits jumped, solidifying directly.

[5].

Top level!

Outside, the staff’s eyes widened suddenly.

Qin Jin stood in the instrument’s center, glancing at the screen, then towards the other: "Is it over?"

"It’s over!"

The staff awakened as if from a dream, speaking with increased respect: "Mr. Qin, I will now transmit the task program to you."

"It will deliver real-time task information and record your task performance, allowing you to exchange relevant rewards with the Pioneer Department upon leaving here."

"During the task, the harvest you gain within the planet can be taken directly."

"This is the Federation’s original reward for pioneers."
