Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 110: Constitution Breakthrough

Bai Xiaotang’s joyful expression fell immediately with that sentence. She looked up at Fu Yuanxuan in the rearview mirror, ready to speak but then hesitated.

As sharp as Fu Yuanxuan was, he immediately turned to her and asked, "What’s wrong?"

The sudden male voice startled Bai Xiaotang, making her quickly cover the Smart Brain, but Chang Ru on the other end had already heard. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Tangtang, where are you? Why do I hear a man’s voice?"

"I... I’m at a classmate’s house, that was the sound from a video."

But Chang Ru didn’t believe it at all, her tone raising a few degrees, "Tangtang, send me the address right now. Otherwise, I’ll tell your brother that you stayed out all night and went out with a male classmate."

"No... no, I didn’t. That was... was..."

"Was what, Bai Xiaotang? The address!"

Sitting in the front, Fu Yuanxuan heard this and saw Bai Xiaotang in the backseat about to cry. He asked again, "What’s wrong? What happened?"

This time, Bai Xiaotang really couldn’t hide it anymore and decided to go all out, pressing the speaker button.

Immediately, Chang Ru’s somewhat sharp voice came from the Smart Brain, "Bai Xiaotang, where are you now? Do you believe I’ll call your brother right now..."

"It’s my cousin," Bai Xiaotang whispered.

Fu Yuanxuan’s frown deepened, and when Chang Ru threatened her for the third time, he raised his voice, "Jiuming Mountain Base."

Chang Ru’s voice paused on the other end, and after a long time, her tone returned to normal, replying warmly, "Thank you, I’ll be over there shortly. Could you please pass the phone to my sister?"

Bai Xiaotang immediately chimed in, "Sister Ru..."

"Tangtang, why did you run to the base?"

"Ah, I went with a friend."

"Is your friend a family member of someone from the base?"

Bai Xiaotang glanced at Fu Yuanxuan in the rearview mirror and perfunctorily hummed in agreement.

Chang Ru continued, "What’s wrong with your voice? Are you sick? Do you need a doctor to check on you?"

"Ah, no need, I’m okay."

"Alright, if anything happens, you must tell me. Conveniently, my friend the divine doctor, Ming Qi, has returned to Hua Continent. When we get back, I’ll have him check on you."

Bai Xiaotang repeatedly agreed, relaxing only after hanging up the phone.

Beside her, Ye Tong expressed admiration, "Tangtang, your cousin is really good to you."

Bai Xiaotang hesitated and nodded.

Sister Ru seemed a bit off.

***

Inside the hotel.

After hanging up the phone, Chang Ru, unlike before, smiled and looked at her newly painted nails in a good mood, calling her assistant with one hand, "Prepare the car, we’re going to Jiuming Mountain Base."

"Miss, aren’t we waiting for Miss Bai to return?"

Chang Ru seemed to recall something, her eyes darkening slightly, "She’s already at Jiuming Mountain."

"Oh, contact Ming Qi, I need him to save someone."

"Yes."

After hanging up, Chang Ru gazed at her beautiful nails, murmuring to herself, "He doesn’t like heavy makeup, what a pity..."

***

In the car, after Bai Xiaotang finished the call, Fu Yuanxuan reminded her, "My identity needs to remain confidential for now, don’t reveal it."

Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong nodded repeatedly.

For some reason, Bai Xiaotang instinctively didn’t want Fu Yuanxuan to meet Chang Ru.

"Brother Fu, can we test our physical fitness level at the base?"

Fu Yuanxuan was slightly taken aback. He glanced at the rearview mirror again to see Bai Xiaotang with hands clasped under her chin, pleading with her expression.

For the first time, his usually stern face showed a slight smile, "Okay. I’ll contact the testing center shortly."

Bai Xiaotang’s tense nerves relaxed a bit.

But the thought of Ye Tong being negatively portrayed online made her feel angry again.

Fu Yuanxuan, sensing the tense atmosphere behind, glanced up at the rearview mirror.

He remembered what his brother-in-law once said: "Women change moods faster than flipping a book, and you won’t even know what made them angry."

...

As Fu Yuanxuan’s car stopped, he saw Zhang Huaixin’s orderly jogging over, saying, "Captain Fu, the chief would like to see you."

"Alright, you take them to the fitness test center to test their physical fitness and spiritual power."

Afterwards, Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong followed the orderly to a five-story white building.

The orderly explained their purpose to the duty soldier at the entrance and handed them over.

The on-duty soldier looked simple and clumsy, seemingly not good with words, his cheeks flushed, unable to meet their eyes directly.

"You... follow me..."

The ground floor hall of the small building was filled with various body refinement equipment, some soldiers were shirtless, grunting as they lifted weights.

Their muscular physiques and well-defined lines left the two girls spellbound, their cheeks reddening.

"Oh my..."

Some soldiers were startled by the sudden appearance of the girls, quickly grabbing nearby t-shirts to cover themselves.

"Lao Liu, why didn’t you announce the arrival of girls!"

This caused many soldiers to stop what they were doing, scrambling to put on clothes, moving with impressive speed.

Even the disorderly equipment was quickly organized.

Bai Xiaotang and Ye Tong were stunned.

The duty soldier scratched his head sheepishly, "Squad Leader Li asked me to bring them for the test."

"Test? Can they handle it?" One soldier asked skeptically.

The standards for physical tests at the base were more rigorous, even harsh.

What was a B5 level test at school or outside could be a B4 level test at the base.

Thus, the base-certified test results were the absolute authority in Hua Continent, with no one questioning their authenticity.

The duty soldier, still looking sheepishly, said, "Squad Leader Li said to give them tests below B-level."

Then, the duty soldier led them to two test rooms and kindly asked, "May I know your external test fitness levels?"

Bai Xiaotang felt a bit embarrassed, her voice low for fear of the soldiers overhearing, "My physical ability is D8-level, spiritual power is C9-level. Sister Xiao Tong’s physical ability is B5-level, and spiritual power is C2-level."

The duty soldier, still wearing a sheepish look, scratched his head and said, "No worries, I was pretty weak when I first came here, but I’ve improved by one level over the years. Who will test first?"

"I’ll go first." Ye Tong noticed Bai Xiaotang’s apprehension and reassured her with a pat on the shoulder.

The duty soldier then opened one of the doors, allowing Ye Tong to enter.

The testing equipment at the base was slightly different from school, requiring more complex attire.

Besides having her limbs affixed with skin sensors, Ye Tong had to wear a lightweight helmet on her head.

"Miss Ye Tong, I’ll start with a B4-B6 level test for you. If you pass, I’ll increase it gradually. If at any point you cannot continue, feel free to call it off." The duty soldier kindly explained from behind the controls.

Ye Tong responded with an ’OK’ gesture.

The two were separated by a piece of reinforced glass, speaking through an intercom.

"Alright, Miss Ye Tong, we’re starting. 3, 2, 1, begin!"

Inside the reinforced glass, the testing machine started launching real baseballs at her, not the soft ones used in school tests.

Being hit would undoubtedly leave a bruise.

Bai Xiaotang, observing from outside, was stunned and quickly asked, "Mister, are these balls soft?"

"Yes, they don’t hurt when hitting the body."

At this moment, a soldier lifting weights walked over, chuckling, "Lao Liu, we don’t have soft balls; these are real baseballs."

"Huh?"

"Baseballs are the softest things we have here."

With the weightlifting soldier’s words, Bai Xiaotang’s expression turned more solemn, asking, "Will the balls hit the face? Sister Xiao Tong is an actress; her face can’t be injured."

"Well, that’s hard to say..."

"They won’t! I’ve adjusted the ball hit area; it’s definitely below the neck." The duty soldier stopped the weightlifting soldier from saying more.

Only then did Bai Xiaotang breathe a sigh of relief, continuing to watch Ye Tong inside the reinforced glass testing room.

At that moment, Ye Tong’s fitness level test had passed B4, moving on to B5.

Bai Xiaotang clenched her fists, silently cheering for Ye Tong.

Five minutes later, Ye Tong successfully passed B5 and proceeded to challenge B6.

Ten minutes later, Ye Tong successfully passed B6.

...

Twenty minutes later, Ye Tong passed B9.

The duty soldier behind the controls was as surprised as anyone, turning to Bai Xiaotang, "Shall we increase the challenge to A-level?"
