I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2895: Chapter 2895: I’m Going to Speed Up

"Finish within a day!"

Upon hearing this answer, many people found it unbelievable.

If the previous projects had consumed too much energy, even those projects that could theoretically be completed later might be at risk of failing.

Lin Yi stood there motionless. Although this assessment posed no difficulty for him, he had to admit that the intensity was indeed quite high.

"Don’t think the assessment is harsh, because your every move concerns the safety of people’s lives and property, so this job demands a lot in terms of your physical strength and endurance," Wang Qin said.

"Yes!"

"Now, let me explain the assessment criteria. 4 minutes and 25 seconds is considered passing, worth 1 point. For every five seconds reduced, you earn 1 additional point. 3 minutes and 40 seconds is a perfect score, worth 10," Wang Qin said:

"Now do some warm-up exercises; the assessment will begin in ten minutes."

After Wang Qin’s speech ended, whispers began among the crowd.

"This is too insane, right? 4 minutes and 25 seconds just to pass? I haven’t even broken 4 and a half minutes usually."

"It seems like this year’s assessment standards have gone up. Now it’s all about luck."

Wails filled the crowd because what they had found was different, and the difficulty had indeed increased.

"Brother Ming, I remember back in school, you won first place in the district sports meet for the 1000 meters. The first project should be nothing for you, right?"

"Getting a perfect score is definitely no problem, but that’s not my goal; among the four specially recruited, I must get first place," Sun Ming said:

"Your stamina isn’t bad either; it shouldn’t be a problem for you."

"I practiced at home before, around 4 minutes; getting first isn’t possible, but I should secure a middle ranking."

"Your written test scores are good; with a middle-ranking score, you can definitely get in steadily."

"Then I’ll take your good wishes."

On the other side, Lin Yi and Li Dong were also quietly discussing.

"Bro, do you think you can make it?" Li Dong asked quietly.

"It’s no big deal."

"I’m done," Li Dong said:

"My written test scores weren’t high to begin with, and now the physical test’s intensity is too great; I’m probably not gonna make it."

"Don’t say that. There are a total of seven assessments, so if you look at it as an hour per test, there’s still quite a bit of rest time. It’s not as hard as it seems."

"The problem is my scores aren’t high. The physical test must reach an incredibly high score to pass," Li Dong said:

"You prepare well. I’ll pace you in the front to help you get a good score, but let’s agree in advance—if you get accepted, treat me to a meal later; that braised chicken rice at the entrance seems pretty good."

Lin Yi smiled, "Let me pace you. I should be able to bring your score up."

"No way, it’d be bad if I held back your score."

"It’s no biggie; 1000 meters is no hard job for me."

"Then I won’t be polite with you. I’ll treat you to lunch."

Soon, the ten-minute warm-up ended, and the assessment officially began.

Over three hundred people taking the assessment were divided into five groups, each with more than sixty people.

And the assessment sequence was in accordance with the written test rankings.

Lin Yi and Li Dong were both placed in the last group.

The two were quite pleased with the relaxation, sitting on the sideline watching others’ assessments.

Originally, Lin Yi thought that the 1000 meters, being the most straightforward assessment item, should be a guaranteed scoring project.

But in truth, quite a few people’s level was indeed subpar.

In the first batch of more than sixty people taking the assessment, nearly twenty didn’t finish, with an elimination rate close to thirty percent.

However, among these people, four achieved notably bright results, all scoring 10 points.

Such results were already quite good.

And the fastest one, Lin Yi remembered a bit, was none other than Sun Ming, who had been showing off with Li Dong earlier.

Three minutes and 8 seconds, which is rather impressive.

Each group’s assessment was almost seamlessly connected.

And in almost every group, more than ten people were directly eliminated.

After about another half hour, it was Lin Yi’s group’s turn.

"Look, that guy is so handsome!"

Some women taking the clerical assessment started whispering involuntarily upon seeing Lin Yi.

Their eyes couldn’t hide the infatuation.

"These women are so superficial, right? This is recruiting firefighters, not models. What’s the use of being handsome?" Zhou Chunkai complained.

"Women are just such creatures. Why do you care so much?" Sun Ming said:

"Just based on his written test score, he will definitely be brushed off; it’s not worth wasting time on such a person."

Meanwhile, Lin Yi’s group came to the track.

Soon, the starter gun went off, and everyone charged ahead, leaving Lin Yi and Li Dong at the back.

But the two were running the steadiest, gradually increasing their pace, soon overtaking more than ten people.

"This pacing is okay, right?"

"No problem; saves me a lot of energy," Li Dong said:

"Never mind me now, you run faster; your written test score is low, you need to get a high score to be accepted, forget about me."

"No worries, there are still several items ahead; I can catch up," Lin Yi said casually.

"Still, better be steady and compete for every point," Li Dong said:

"You run on, I’m fine now; I shouldn’t end up at the bottom."

To avoid delaying Lin Yi, Li Dong separated himself, losing their pacing run’s significance.

Now freed from Li Dong’s constraint, Lin Yi no longer held back and planned to increase his speed.

On the other side, Lin Yi also became an object of focus for many people, who were staring closely at him.

"His speed seems a bit slow; even if he completes it, he’s probably gonna end up at the bottom," a long-haired girl said.

"A slightly lacking physical test score doesn’t matter; as long as the written test score is high, one can still pull through," another long-legged girl said.

"Afraid to disappoint you, his written test score is 61, barely over the line, considered bottom of this lot," Zhou Chunkai said indifferently.

"No way, just 61? This year’s written test wasn’t that hard."

"It’s got nothing to do with hard or not. It’s him not being capable, just good-looking is all," Zhou Chunkai gloated:

"This happens to be the place least interested in looks."

"Ah... this..."

The women fixating on Lin Yi didn’t know what to say.

With such a physical test score, along with a barely passing written test score

Passing the assessment seems impossible.

"They’re only recruiting 30 people this time, I guess he has no hope," the long-haired woman said.

"Surely no hope, instead of focusing on him, why not focus on us?" Zhou Chunkai said ostentatiously:

"Want to grab lunch together at noon sometime? Might become colleagues later."

"Hmph, dream on!"

Zhou Chunkai: ...

"Wow, so fast!"
