306: Data anomalies

“They didn't bring equipment, and we're also responsible. Does this match even count towards their score?”

A GTI examiner, who had noticed the anomaly, asked.

He was the only Dragon Country face among the dozen or so examiners present, with sharp features that made him appear very upright.

And although this assessment was for candidates from his own country, he showed no favoritism, only acting impartially.

According to the rules, before candidates enter the restricted area, GTI examiners must remind them three times whether they are ready.

Just now, the General Examiner had only reminded them once, and Xiao Yun's trio had impatiently entered the restricted area, which was unexpected by everyone.

“While it doesn't count as a violation, it does count as a lapse in work. Logically speaking, if this match doesn't yield good results, it can indeed be excluded from the assessment.”

The General Examiner from Lighthouse Country also said at this moment.

After all, this was a Confidential Aerospace Base with top-secret difficulty, and the teams coming to participate in the restricted area were stronger than the last, with many professional teams among them, some of whom had already mastered the identity of special operations agents.

Xiao Yun and his team entered the restricted area without complete equipment, and based on his long experience as an examiner, he felt that this match would likely not have a good outcome.

“Heh, not counted in the assessment? What kind of talk is that?”

However.

Just as the General Examiner was about to announce that this match was void, a female examiner with an Asian face, who was standing nearby, spoke up.

Although she was a GTI examiner, her face had a very futuristic look, with makeup similar to that of a K-pop idol, clearly indicating she was an examiner from the neighboring South Korea.

“When our country's professional team was assessed, that team forgot to fine-tune their weapons, and I didn't give them any leeway. Instead, I included their match in the assessment. What's more, this Dragon Country team didn't even bring all their equipment?”

“That's two different things. How can we, as examiners, know the configuration the candidates want for weapon fine-tuning? What if someone uses this to withdraw data from a bad match? Wouldn't that be cheating?”

The Dragon Country examiner frowned, arguing logically.

“So, no matter what the situation, there shouldn't be any special privileges, right?”

At this moment, a male examiner from Sakura Country also spoke lightly.

“How is this a special privilege? This is clearly following procedures!”

“Oh? Is that so? What if someone deliberately doesn't bring equipment for this first match, enters first to test the data recorded by the wristband, and thus gets an extra round of adaptation compared to others?”

“This…”

Facing the problem raised by the Sakura Country examiner, the Dragon Country examiner wanted to refute but was momentarily speechless.

“Alright, this match will be recorded as normal.”

The General Examiner from Lighthouse Country also spoke quietly at this time.

Although all the examiners present had the same GTI level, a General Examiner was still needed to make judgments on controversial content for a specific assessment, and this assessment happened to have a person from Lighthouse Country as the General Examiner.

Hearing his words, the two examiners from Sakura Country and South Korea secretly rejoiced.

The Dragon Country examiner's expression, however, was somewhat displeased.

“Alas, what a waste of an opportunity…”

“Mr. George! There's new data showing in the system!”

And just after everyone had made this decision, a staff member who was monitoring the match data quickly reported.

“Immediately upon entering the restricted area, the system reported one kill data and one search data. They've started acting!”

“What? So decisive? Where did they revive this time?”

“They revived at the Assembly Room location!”

Hearing this, several examiners were immediately somewhat shocked.

The Assembly Room location, also known as Lao Er by the agents.

This is the only location in the Aerospace Base that cannot enter the Core Area immediately, because whether one goes through the central control bridge above or swipes a card through the East District Suspension Bridge below, there's a high probability of encountering direct suppression from the two teams at Prison Boss and Jail Three.

In a real battlefield, holding a position with a gun has an absolute advantage, and the same is true in the restricted area.

If they encounter enemy suppression, Xiao Yun's team could very quickly be eliminated.

And when reviving at Lao Er, according to the comprehensive data held by GTI, searching on the spot is actually the optimal solution.

Especially for an assessment, directly breaking out might waste the opportunity of this match without gaining any points.

However, directly searching the resource points underfoot at the start would at least guarantee some search points.

“Could it be that Xiao Yun and his team didn't not bring equipment, but rather did so intentionally?”

The Dragon Country examiner raised an eyebrow, immediately thinking of a possibility that shocked him.

However, the probability of this possibility was simply too small.

After all, no matter how good your team is, you can't possibly run around with just a knife in this Aerospace Base full of experts, right?

At the very least, they should wear a headset and carry a weapon for self-defense.

Otherwise, even if they finish searching for supplies and give them to one person, preparing him for a drop-off extraction, they might encounter other teams with similar tactics at the extraction point, and without equipment and firearms, they wouldn't even be able to compete for the dropped package extraction.

“I don't know what they're thinking…”

The Dragon Country examiner sighed lightly, feeling even more anxious and uneasy for them.

“I can understand the search data, but what is the kill data?”

At this moment, the South Korea examiner next to him also asked in confusion.

“Right, this restricted area has just opened, and they've just entered it without weapons. Where did the kill data come from?”

The Sakura Country examiner also asked.

And facing the questions from the two, the examiner who was reporting the data changes also looked puzzled.

“I, I don't know either, but the data just shows that they instantly killed a Hafuk Soldier after landing, and the equipment of Candidate Number One has also changed at this time.”

Candidate Number One refers to Xiao Yun.

And Liu Shihhan and Lu Xueqing were Candidate Number Two and Three, respectively.

“Is it possible to kill a Hafuk Soldier without weapons? By the way, what is the difficulty of this match?”

The General Examiner frowned and asked.

“Report, this match is Confidential Aerospace!”
