Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 111: Just Shy of B1 Level

At this moment, Bai Xiaotang was full of admiration in her eyes, her face filled with excitement.

"I want it! Sister Xiaotong will definitely surpass the A-level."

The duty soldier hesitated for a moment and pressed the A-level test button.

Compared to the B-level test, the A-level test was significantly more challenging in every aspect.

Inside, Ye Tong’s movements were noticeably less composed than before and much slower. She struggled to uphold until her body’s limits, then collapsed directly on the ground.

Seeing that she was just a few seconds away from reaching A2-level, the duty soldier regrettably remarked, "Practice a bit more, and you’ll reach A2-level soon."

At this moment, Bai Xiaotang could no longer contain her inner excitement. As soon as the test door opened, she rushed in with a stride.

Shouting loudly, "Sister Xiaotong, can you guess what your physical fitness level is now?"

Ye Tong took a long time to get up slowly from the ground, breathing heavily as she flipped over to sit down. She wiped the sweat-filled eyes on her face, "How much..."

"A1-level... You were just 12 seconds away from passing the A2-level test."

Ye Tong was dumbfounded, looking up at Bai Xiaotang in disbelief.

Doubting if she heard wrong, "How... much?"

"A1-level! You’ve now reached A-level physical fitness." Bai Xiaotang hugged her neck and shook it, almost too delighted not to set off fireworks on the spot.

Ye Tong’s expression shifted from disbelief to ecstasy, then to tears of joy.

"Really... Oh my god... Hahaha... I have to call Sister Ning... Sob sob sob..."

Wiping her tears, Ye Tong asked Bai Xiaotang for a phone.

She knew that her physical fitness had improved with Body Refinement over this period, but she didn’t expect to jump directly from B5-level to A1-level.

It’s only been a month...

"Hey, Sister Ning... I... sob... thank you..."

Listening to Ye Tong’s sobs, Ji Ning raised an eyebrow and looked at the beautiful view outside the window, "Reached A-level?"

"Hmm..." Ye Tong nodded vigorously while covering her mouth.

Ji Ning’s lips curled slightly, "Where’s Bai Xiaotang?"

"She... hasn’t been tested yet."

"Hmm. After reaching A-level, your physical improvement won’t be as fast as now, so you must be mentally prepared."

"Okay, I’m already very satisfied. Really, thank you, Sister Ning." Ye Tong didn’t even know how to express her gratitude to Ji Ning, nodded while covering her mouth.

"Is that all your ambition? If you can’t reach S-Class, don’t mention my name when you go out."

As the call ended, Ye Tong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cried. Bai Xiaotang, anxious, asked, "What did Sister Ning say?"

"She said if I don’t reach S-Class, I can’t mention her name when I go out."

Their conversation was overheard by a soldier lifting weights not far away, who found it hard to believe, "Reaching S-Class physical fitness is tough. We’ve trained for so long and haven’t achieved it. How could you possibly do it?"

Bai Xiaotang, not fond of him, slightly raised her chin and proudly said, "Why not? My Sister Xiaotong went from B5-level to A1-level in just a month. Just because you guys can’t achieve it doesn’t mean we can’t. My Sister Ning’s training is fantastic..."

After speaking, she didn’t listen to the weight-lifting soldier’s rebuttal, covering her ears and said to the duty soldier, "I’m next."

Ye Tong removed the sensors from her body and helped Bai Xiaotang put them on. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

She limped out of the test room.

Being hit by the ball at the end sure hurt.

Sitting outside, Ye Tong carefully rolled up her trouser leg and saw a big red mark with a faint bruise on her calf.

The weight-lifting soldier quickly fetched a small medical kit from a nearby cabinet and handed it to her.

Blushing slightly, he said, "Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. Congratulations on passing A1-level."

"Hmm, I know. Thank you."

Seeing Ye Tong was easy to talk to, the weight-lifting soldier curiously asked, "Did you really go from B5-level to A1-level in just a month?"

Ye Tong nodded.

"How did you guys train?" The weight-lifting soldier blurted out, but seeing Ye Tong pursed her lips in silence, he realized he was a bit abrupt and quickly explained, "Sorry, sorry, I’ve been stuck at A6-level for a long time, I’m a bit anxious, you don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to."

Ye Tong smiled at him, making the weight-lifting soldier blush even more, lowering his head in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaotang’s test had begun.

Perhaps it was because of Ye Tong’s example, Bai Xiaotang was now incredibly motivated, full of confidence in the test.

She quickly leaped from D7-level test to C1-level.

When Fu Yuanxuan arrived, Bai Xiaotang had just completed the C5-level test and was in the middle of testing C6-level.

Fu Yuanxuan was very familiar with Bai Xiaotang’s records, including all her achievements from childhood.

Seeing her in the C6-level test now, he looked at the duty soldier in astonishment.

"Were the base’s instruments checked?"

The duty soldier quickly stood at attention and saluted, loudly replying, "Report, all the instruments at the test center were checked two weeks ago, and no problems were found."

"Good, continue with your work." Fu Yuanxuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued watching the figure in the test room.

minutes later, Bai Xiaotang suddenly staggered, struck on the arm by a ball, and fell directly to the ground.

"Stop!"

Fu Yuanxuan and Ye Tong shouted at the same time.

The duty soldier was startled, clumsily looking at the control panel.

Quickly saluting again to Fu Yuanxuan, "Commander, the test has automatically stopped."

At this point, Bai Xiaotang’s test level had firmly stopped at C9-level.

Once the test instrument stops, the test room door lock opens automatically.

Ye Tong hurriedly rushed in, only to hear Bai Xiaotang, lying on the ground, softly whimpering, "Ouch... it hurts so much..."

"Let me take a look."

Seeing her clutching her left arm, Ye Tong squatted down to roll up her sleeve.

Her fair skin was flushed, even visibly swollen.

Bai Xiaotang’s skin had been sensitive since childhood, slightly bumping it would make it red and swollen, looking quite intimidating.

Fu Yuanxuan also knew this detail; although he used to think of her as pampered, seeing it now, he frowned deeply.

"I’ll take you to the infirmary."

Saying so, he bent down directly and picked her up.

Bai Xiaotang was so startled she couldn’t speak, and Ye Tong beside her covered her mouth to avoid screaming.

Bai Xiaotang’s injury looked scary, but once in the infirmary, after applying pain relief spray, it didn’t hurt after a while.

She even had the mind to care about her scores, "Sister Xiaotong, what’s my test level? Did I reach B-level?"

Ye Tong patted her head, sighing, "Just missed B1-level."

"Ah... I thought I had reached B-level." Bai Xiaotang said dissatisfied, pouting, "Let me rest, I want to test again."

The military doctor in the infirmary laughed, "Little girl, even after resting, you have to wait at least a month before testing again."

"Ah..." Bai Xiaotang drooped her head in disappointment.

Not far away, Fu Yuanxuan, thinking about her physical fitness level, slightly furrowed his brows and suddenly said, "Draw their blood and check other indicators."

The military doctor paused, seeing the look Fu Yuanxuan gave, quickly said, "Okay... I’ll prepare immediately."

Bai Xiaotang didn’t understand, "I just bumped my arm, do I really need a blood test?"

"The base’s test instruments are different from the outside world’s, and also have greater intensity. For your health, it’s necessary to conduct a full body check."
