297: Why don't you just grab it and make it mine?

"My codename will be—Xia!"

After pondering, Lin Yang personally wrote down the codename.

Xia!

This character holds a very special meaning for any Chinese person.

He originally wanted to use 'Mu' to split his surname, but Lin Mu wanted to use that codename, so he simply used Xia!

"Alright, Xia. Your and Mu's mission is to obtain a total of six bu bo pearls before the assessment ends. Please note, this assessment mission is a special one. Any discovery of cheating by any means will result in a lifelong blacklisting from the Cosmic Mercenary Corps."

The staff member of the Cosmic Mercenary Corps responsible for this assessment solemnly reminded them again. He then said, "Also, please wear the special token wristband from this moment on. The wristband will record your performance throughout the assessment. Please do your best to showcase your excellence; this is crucial."

"Finally, please protect your wristband. Once the wristband is damaged, regardless of the reason, the assessment will immediately be deemed a failure and treated as cheating."

"Understood, thank you for informing me," Lin Yang thanked him and immediately put on the token wristband.

The wristband had comprehensive special monitoring equipment and positioning functions, meaning any slight act of cheating would be immediately detected.

However, Lin Yang was still somewhat surprised by the fact that a damaged wristband would be directly treated as cheating.

Because this meant that if someone didn't want a person to successfully pass the assessment, destroying his wristband would suffice, and this also meant that this assessment was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Once a struggle occurred and the wristband was destroyed, it not only prevented the other party from obtaining the bu bo pearl but also directly destroyed the other party's hope of joining the Cosmic Mercenary Corps.

Being blacklisted by the Cosmic Mercenary Corps for Life, restricting one from becoming a mercenary, was quite serious.

"Commander, I feel that this assessment might be somewhat unusual. We need to pay a little attention to safety," Lin Mu suddenly whispered.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yang looked at him.

"Commander, the point about treating a damaged wristband directly as cheating, I just feel it's not that simple. It's more like a special, targeted restriction," Lin Mu said gravely.

Lin Yang looked at him in surprise: "You feel?"

He was very shocked.

Lin Mu was a Robot.

He actually used a term like 'feel' to express himself?

"Yes, Commander, you don't need to be surprised. I will evolve on my own, and my intelligence will also increase with evolution, becoming more and more like a true human," Lin Mu then forced a smile.

"...That amazing?"

Lin Yang was even more shocked. He couldn't help but scrutinize Lin Mu up and down. Just as he was about to say something more, the voice of the Cosmic Mercenary Corps assessment supervisor suddenly rang out:

"Attention all assessment participants, the assessment officially begins. Please complete the mission within one month. Please pay special attention: no personnel are allowed to use any weapons or tools exceeding Level 3 peak technological power, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

The supervisor did not directly state what the consequences were, but everyone understood that those four short words, 'bear the consequences,' meant being executed on the spot by Mi Star's law enforcement team!

As the supervisor's words fell, a large number of assessment participants instantly rushed into Bu Bo Ze in various ways, each displaying their unique abilities to explore for bu bo pearls. The technological tools they used indeed did not exceed Level 3 peak technological standards.

It seemed that this requirement was indeed the most rigid requirement, without exception.

Cheating would only result in being blacklisted by the Cosmic Mercenary Corps, but using weapons exceeding Level 3 peak technological power would result in direct killing.

Everyone was still aware of which was more important.

"Let's go in too," Lin Yang observed for a moment, re-entered the spaceship, and directly rushed into Bu Bo Ze.

The spaceship was a standard Level 3 spaceship, so its use was not restricted.

However, although using weapons exceeding Level 3 peak technological power was prohibited, no one forcibly checked the armaments carried on each spaceship.

This point also made Lin Yang even more cautious.

After all, rules are ultimately rigid. He didn't believe that these assessment participants didn't have strong backgrounds or abundant financial resources. Perhaps some people's spaceships also had Level 4 technological weapons.

When it came down to Life and death, it would be impossible not to use them because of rigid rules.

As for Mi Star's law enforcement team?

As long as one could escape Mi Star before the law enforcement team arrived, the law enforcement team would be helpless.

However, this possibility was too small, and Mi Star's law enforcement team was very strong, so such incidents rarely occurred.

But this assessment even made Lin Mu feel something was amiss, so Lin Yang became even more cautious.

If it truly came down to Life and death, he wouldn't possibly leave those Level 4 peak technological weapons on the spaceship unused.

"Commander, there are currently more people trying to find bu bo pearls than there are pearls. We don't need to explore at all. When someone finds a bu bo pearl, it will definitely cause a stir immediately. At that time, we'll just directly snatch it," Lin Mu spoke again.

These words equally shocked Lin Yang: "This is your plan?"

"Yes, Commander, our current overall strength can be said to be in the absolute first echelon. At such a time, directly snatching is the optimal approach," Lin Mu's eyes gleamed.

...Lin Yang was a bit speechless.

Lin Mu truly lived up to being a special combat Robot. His style of action was becoming more and more domineering.

However, this also suited his intentions!

This mission was practically openly encouraging mutual competition.

With monitoring and scoring involved.

It was clearly encouraging competition.

"Then let's use the effort of exploring for bu bo pearls to monitor other assessors. As soon as a bu bo pearl appears, we'll go directly to snatch it," Lin Yang said faintly.

To obtain six bu bo pearls within a month, it would be impossible to complete the mission without snatching them!

"Understood, Commander, I have activated monitoring mode," Lin Mu replied.

And not long after his words fell, he suddenly said, "Commander, I found that there are others monitoring us as well. It seems they have the same idea."

"Heh heh, it seems everyone also understands that relying on oneself to find bu bo pearls is not as fast as directly snatching them," Lin Yang smiled and then said, "Don't mind them. You counter-monitor them back and let them know that we are not to be trifled with."

"Good!" Lin Mu's eyes instantly brightened.

As Lin Mu directly and undisguisedly counter-monitored, Lin Yang immediately noticed that several warships sent some detection waves towards his spaceship, and then quietly dissipated.

It seemed they did not want to cause trouble before the bu bo pearl appeared, benefiting others.

Just like that, everyone maintained a mysterious tacit understanding for three consecutive days.

On the morning of the fourth day, someone in Bu Bo Ze suddenly exclaimed, "bu bo pearl! bu bo pearls have appeared! There are two bu bo pearls beneath this marshland!"

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, a large number of warships arrived.

Lin Yang naturally also arrived at the first opportunity.

However, before he could make a move, he heard a domineering voice ring out:

"Everyone, these two bu bo pearls belong to Lian Sha. You, go find others!"

In his tone, there was an undeniable and arrogant superiority!

Let me tell you something funny. Tonight, when I was getting an MRI, I felt like I needed to pee beforehand, but when it was my turn, I held it in. After the MRI was done and I returned to my chair, I suddenly felt a chill on my butt, like water had soaked through my pants. Then I was silent for two seconds, couldn't hold it in, and blurted out: "I'm incontinent!"

Everyone instantly looked at me, and their expressions became strange!!!

It turned out that the cap of the drink bottle I bought wasn't twisted tightly, and water leaked from my bag, soaking my pants...
