"Ah Qi, I heard you brought back a master hand who can sculpt a person with his bare hands?"

Da Vinci leaned closer to Sing Sing, his eyes shining behind his thick-rimmed glasses.

Despite the question, the truth is that Wenxi had already identified his target long ago.

Before Lao Zhou reply, he looked directly at Christopher behind him.

"Young man, would you be interested in a part-time job in our Research Department?"

"I'm currently developing a fully automatic solar-powered appendectomy flashlight, and I happen to need a clinical consultant with knowledge of human anatomy!"

Sing Sing stood warily between the two, blocking his view.

"Go away, Wenxi, stop trying to poach our staff! Comrade Christopher is the pillar of our Medical Department!"

"If I follow you in making those deadly inventions, I'll be in the ER within three days!"

Just then, Jacqueline, who had come out of the classroom to smoke with Gambit, came over and curiously examined the thermos cup wrapped in black tape in Da Vinci's hand.

"Director, is this guy the arms dealer who made that pink plunger Bamboo-copter, and folding stool for you?"

In fact, Jacqueline Gavin and Christina had an in-depth conversation.

They learned that Sing Sing had broken into Silver Peak's base in search of him/her, and even jumped off the top of the tower.

That's how I learned about Bamboo-copter.

Please call me Professor Da Vinci, or respectfully address me as Vinci!

Da Vinci straightened his chest and corrected him with a serious expression.

"That's no ordinary plunger; it's a strategic-level escape device that combines fluid dynamics with individual soldier vertical take-off and landing technology!"

"If it weren't for the limited budget, I originally planned to install two electromagnetic guns on it!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, the group arrived at a cylindrical building.

Hu Yingying swiped her card, pushed open the door, and turned around to gently explain to the twelve nervous students.

"New colleagues, this is our Ability Safety Boundary Assessment Center on the first floor."

"As you can see, the entire roof is made of glass, and the windows on all four sides are completely open, with no blocking devices whatsoever."

She pointed to the testing equipment covered with soft padding in the venue and the alloy target in the distance.

"According to the bureau's regulations, today's skills test is entirely voluntary."

"We will only assess the upper limit of each person's capabilities and the boundary of potential safety hazards, so that the Personnel Division can match everyone with the most suitable job."

"If anyone feels unwell, they can sit in the rest area over there and have some tea now."

Marcus Howard, the Rock Boy codenamed Cornerstone, was the first to raise his hand.

"Instructor Hu, I'm strong and thick-skinned. I want to test whether I can operate an excavator on a construction site!"

Seeing that Hu Yingying agreed, Cornerstone clenched his fists, covered his entire body with rocks, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a granite giant.

The head of the Medical Department operated the non-contact laser rangefinder on the control panel, directing the rock boy to punch the hydraulic force target in front of him.

Bang!

The numbers on the electronic display screen on the force target jumped rapidly, eventually settling on a value of twelve tons.

"Excellent static compressive strength, stable dynamic explosive power, and no tendency towards manic behavior!"

Sing Sing stood by the control panel, nodded in satisfaction, and then waved to the Personnel Division's record clerk.

"Make a note of this. This young man has extraordinary physique; he's a natural-born civil engineering genius. Send him to the civil engineering department for four years, and after graduation, he'll be directly assigned to the infrastructure engineering department as a special shield tunneling machine guard, enjoying a first-class field post allowance!"

Cornerstone shed his stone armor, his face flushed with excitement. He bowed three times to Sing Sing and Hu Yingying, then happily ran back to the group.

With the rock boy taking the lead, the remaining eleven students also let loose completely.

Tasha Jefferson, a Black girl codenamed "Arc," was assigned to the State Grid's Special Inspection Preparatory Class.

Codenamed "Tar Red-Haired Flame-Controlling Boy," Leo Gorr spews out high-temperature liquid flames and is immediately booked by the director of the Special Metallurgy Laboratory, whose eyes light up.

Next, Cole Turner, codenamed Vernier and a former Detroit auto mechanic, strode onto the stage.

The young man with a buzz cut placed his hands on a scrapped diesel engine, a glint of light in his eyes.

In just ten seconds, he could detect seven micron-sized metal fatigue cracks inside the metal with his bare hands and guide them back to their original positions using a weak magnetic force.

Da Vinci's eyes lit up, and he almost drooled.

"Engineering God of War! Admitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering without taking the entrance exam! You must come to my lab as a specially appointed mechanical experimenter in your spare time. My spaceship-level invention is just missing your hands!"

Then, Lin Xiaoyu, a Chinese-American girl with bangs, walked onto the stage.

The light around him was strangely distorted, and visible light and infrared radiation within five centimeters of his body surface were all swallowed up.

Direct physical evaporation under the monitoring of a professional thermal imaging camera.

"Top-tier optical camouflage talent! Sent to a top university's physics department for advanced studies in optics, and his file will be incorporated into the covert reconnaissance team of the Bureau's Field Intelligence Division!"

Sixteen-year-old identical twin sisters Abby White and Bella White walked forward hand in hand.

Abby, the older sister, released gentle, water-like infrasound, calming the tense operators in the room.

Bella's palm glowed with a soft bioluminescence, as bright as day, and the scratches on the surrounding frightened mice quickly stopped bleeding and scabbed over.

The two sisters timidly expressed that they only wanted to study medicine.

Hu Yingying nodded in agreement and arranged for them to enroll in the Bureau-affiliated High School, where they would work as intern assistants in the medical laboratory during their spare time.

When it was Jacqueline's turn, this tough woman with big wavy hair stretched her wrists, took two steps forward, and kicked the special alloy target into a U-shaped iron pot with a whip kick.

Remy, standing on the sidelines, blew a loud whistle.

"Well done, Jacob! Looks like those two bags of lion and tiger meat weren't a waste!"

Jacqueline rolled her eyes and stepped off the testing platform.

Deadpool, however, found this scene quite captivating.

The young man sidled up to Sing Sing and whispered, "Director, Jacqueline's got a great figure now, with big, wavy hair..."

"Remy's always sticking close to his buddy, what if one day fencing turns into a base raid?"

"Does he love his fencing buddies or the busty girls?"

The loud noise caused Jacqueline and Gambit to bulge veins on their foreheads and immediately give chase to Deadpool.

Chaos erupted instantly.

Christopher Muse was the final performer.

Da Vinci specially brought a grass carp that had just been stunned from the cafeteria kitchen and placed it directly on the lab table.

Christopher's hands glowed with a milky white light as he gently pressed them onto the grass carp's head.

In less than three seconds, the grass carp, which had been rolling its eyes back, flicked its tail, its scales even brighter than when it was first caught.

The head of the Medical Department stared wide-eyed, grabbed Christopher's hands, and his face flushed with excitement.

"A miraculous skill! This is truly a medical miracle that can bring the dead back to life and heal bones!"

"Comrade Christopher, starting tomorrow, you will be a specially appointed deputy chief physician at our bureau's Clinical Emergency Center!"
