"...
'S-level...' Chen's mouth twitched slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and chose it!
The pain index for A-level is around 60, while the pain index for childbirth is between 9.2 and 9.4. The pain Chen just experienced was over six times that of childbirth!
What would S-level be?
'Start!'
As soon as Chen made his choice, he immediately felt every nerve, every bit of flesh and blood, and even the most primitive cells in his body plunge into intense pain. If the pain index of having all 20 bones in the body broken is equivalent to 9 points, then Chen's pain index at this moment was at least 90 points or more, because all 200+ bones in his body were broken, and shattered into pieces.
In addition to the bones, all muscle fibers and pain nerves were also plunged into stimulating pain.
Painful to the bone!
Chen felt like he was going to go crazy and wanted to faint immediately, but doing so might result in failing the test. He tried to hypnotize himself that time would pass quickly, but the intense pain left his mind completely blank, and his thoughts couldn't concentrate.
He didn't know how much time had passed before Chen gradually regained a sense of consciousness in his mind. He immediately heard a message: 'Pain index 126, S-level test passed. Moving on to the next test...'
Passing the S-level pain index test is only one aspect of willpower, which also includes the senses of itch, taste, hearing, and desire.
The sense of itch and pain do not share the same neural pathway, so they are tested separately.
After experiencing the S-level pain index, Chen felt like he had died once. He thought this would be the hardest to endure, but when he experienced the S-level itch test, he realized what true torment was!
His entire body was incredibly itchy, yet he couldn't scratch it. Whether it was his hair, face, hands, or feet, they all itched so intensely that it felt like his blood was itching.
Bang! Bang!
Chen used his head to violently bang against the experimental bed, and his body twisted frantically, trying to use friction to relieve the itch, but the more he rubbed, the itchier it became. At this moment, he even felt that experiencing the S-level pain index again would be a blessing!
Chen himself didn't know how he passed the S-level itch test. He only remembered hearing the word 'start' and then his mind went blank. When he regained consciousness, he found that he had successfully passed it.
He sighed in relief, still feeling apprehensive.
The taste and hearing tests that followed were much easier. Although they were both S-level, they only made Chen feel a bit uncomfortable, which was nothing compared to the intense itch.
The final test was desire!
The desire test measured mental fortitude, no longer involving pain but rather various pleasures. This pleasure was not simply simulating some superficial enjoyment like beautiful women or delicious food. Instead, it used wave sensations to directly stimulate the nerves controlling pleasure, giving one an incredibly satisfying feeling, hundreds of times stronger than an orgasm!
This immense pleasure could be irresistible, especially after experiencing the previous pain and itch tests. There was no resistance to such pleasure.
Chen wished he could stay in this moment forever!
However, the goal of this test was not to endure for as long as possible but to regain consciousness within 60 seconds to complete it. He desperately pinched his thigh, but his pain nerves seemed to be numb. Only after pinching his thigh almost to the point of bleeding did he feel a slight, faint pain.
With this slight pain as stimulation, Chen felt that he could control himself again. He roared and stood up, and all feelings of pleasure immediately disappeared, but they still left a lingering aftertaste, even generating a desire to experience it again.
'Pain, itch, taste, hearing, desire...'
'Comprehensive analysis in progress...'
The synthetic intelligent voice was as calm as an ancient well, making Chen nervous.
A few minutes later.
'Final rating: S-level!'
Chen was so excited that he almost jumped for joy. The series of tests had almost driven him to emotional collapse, but thankfully, his efforts were rewarded with the highest S-level evaluation!
'Final evaluation for the examinee: SSA-level!'
'The examinee has the right to enter the Relic Retention List. Please provide a name!'
Upon hearing the cold voice of the three-eyed woman, Chen's heart filled with joy. An evaluation of 2S was the highest evaluation that only "Zeus" from his previous life had obtained!
'Chen Chao,' he reported his name.
'Recording...'
'Examinee "Chen Chao" has obtained an SSA-level evaluation and currently ranks first on the Retention List!'
As the three-eyed woman's voice fell, a square screen on the dark metallic sphere displayed a series of data that quickly combined into a message: 'First on the Exam Value List: Chen Chao!'
'Evaluation: SSA-level!'
Chen knew that this Retention List would remain, and future entrants to this relic would see this list.
'Now, presenting the evaluation rewards!'
The three-eyed woman's voice was icy: 'For an evaluation of 2S, you are rewarded with an Evolution Tree. Additionally, you have the right to choose any three items, with the highest grade of chosen items being S-level!'
'Evolution Tree?' Chen was surprised. What was this? He had never heard of it before. Could this be the same item that Zeus obtained? If so, then this Evolution Tree was incredibly powerful, allowing someone ranked 90+ on the Global Warfare List to skyrocket to 7th place in just a few months. In the current timeline, it was undoubtedly the first relic treasure to be discovered worldwide!
At this moment, a beam of light shot out from the golden vertical pupil on the three-eyed woman's forehead, projecting a virtual list that hovered in front of Chen. It contained many item images, along with filtering options.
'Please choose three items.'
The images of these relic items were all ultra-modern firearms, rare titanium alloy forged cold weapons, precious potions, and some strange items from this civilization.
The Gandhara civilization was the civilization of the first solar era, also known as the civilization of superpowers. The people of this civilization were self-awakening evolvers. The source of special abilities for all males was the third eye on their forehead, while for females, it was their genitalia.
The mythology of this civilization stated that the genitalia of females could communicate with the stars!
Furthermore, people of this civilization did not have hearts. Their vital points were their heads and third eyes. During the first solar era, their civilization's technology was highly developed, far advancing modern technology by tens of thousands of years. All relics from the Gandhara civilization could provide items related to evolution!
For example, evolution potions, evolution armor, and so on.
'Let's look at the S-level items first,' Chen scrolled through the virtual list and entered the S-level item section.
'Nuclear Force Bomb... S-level Evolution Potion... S-level Genetic Dragon Armor...'
The S-level list contained only a few dozen items, but each one was a super treasure. Chen's heart raced as he gazed at them. He had never even touched these items, let alone used them!
For instance, the S-level Evolution Potion had a 30% chance of turning an A-level evolver into an S-level evolver, which could cause countless people to go crazy with desire.
And the Nuclear Force Bomb, a compressed nuclear bomb, could instantly flatten an entire city!
As for the S-level Genetic Dragon Armor, it was even more exaggerated. It could be integrated into one's genes and, when activated during combat, materialize on the body, providing incredibly strong defense. Modern weapons couldn't harm it in the slightest; only other S-level relic items could inflict damage!
'Truly worthy of being top-tier S-level items. Any one of them is a treasure capable of exchanging for an entire city!' Chen's heart swelled with excitement, but he resisted the urge to choose and instead looked down at the A-level item section.
After spending more than ten minutes, Chen had examined almost all the items. He ultimately chose three items, among which only one was S-level, while the other two were A-level and B-level, respectively.
The S-level item was the 'Dimensional Folding Space'!
This was an invisible space hidden in another dimension, with an area of 100 kilometers, capable of storing items, including living beings!
Of all the S-level items, this was the only one Chen could use. The others, such as the Nuclear Force Bomb, could destroy an entire city, but after the explosion, he might not even escape its blast radius, essentially resulting in mutual destruction!
As for the S-class Evolution Potion, he must first reach the level of an A-class Evolver before he can consume it. Even if he had it in his hands now, it would be useless to him.
As for the S-class Genetic Dragon Armor, which is currently invincible in defense, Chen's current genetic strength is simply unable to support its use, making it equally useless to him.
Good steel should be used where it is needed most. Although it may seem like a waste to use the privilege of selecting an S-class item to choose A-class and B-class items instead, these two items are of great assistance to Chen at this stage!
The A-class item is a pair of Gene-Modified Dragon Wings!
Like the Genetic Dragon Armor, these are genetic items that can be fused into the body. However, the difference is that they are gene-modified dragon wings with an independent energy core, meaning Chen does not need to expend his own genetic energy to keep them open. In other words, these wings can already exert the full power of an A-class item at this stage!
In the early days of the apocalypse, anyone who uses an A-class relic item knows how much destructive power it possesses!
As for the B-class item, it is called the "Black Hole Bomb"!
Although its power is not as strong as a nuclear bomb, it does not leave behind nuclear radiation after exploding. It is a bomb made from compressed matter that annihilates and consumes everything within the explosion radius!
The only reason Chen chose this bomb is for...
The zoo!
