Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 668 - 226: Lin Xiaolu’s Test

Just like Bai Jingxuan, Lin Xiaolu walked into the exam hall and was instructed to wait for a moment before being guided to the equipment in the corner to start testing the values of her own Magic Armor.

The same equipment, the same process, the same examiner, everything seemed no different from Bai Jingxuan's test. Lin Xiaolu stood there blankly, watching the equipment scan back and forth over the white scepter in her hand.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes… When Lin Xiaolu started to wonder why her examination was taking so long, the instrument in front of her finally stopped.

The ring-like detection structure slowly folded up, retracting into the instrument, and the raised analysis device gradually descended back to the horizontal plane. The indicator lights on the surface of the instrument blinked in a fixed rhythm, and then—

—"Beep—"

The red light came on.

This strange occurrence immediately caught the attention of the nearby examiners. Lin Xiaolu didn't know what the red light meant, but they were well aware: it indicated that the instrument had reported an error.

From Lin Xiaolu's perspective, one of the examiners put away the light screen in her hand, walked quickly to the instrument, fiddled with the operation interface for a while, muttering something, then turned to look at her:

"Did you bump into the screen over there when you walked past?"

"Huh? What screen?" Lin Xiaolu was confused.

"The one I was just operating on." The examiner pointed.

"No, I was very careful when I walked by." Lin Xiaolu shook her head.

"Then when you extracted your Magic Armor, did you release too much Magic Power? Could the magical power fluctuation have affected the backup operator over there?" The examiner had a puzzled expression.

"Definitely not, I've used Magic Armor before, how could I make such a basic mistake?" Lin Xiaolu replied confidently.

"That's strange... If nothing was moved, how could the instrument report an error?"

The examiner didn't continue to question, nor did she seem to suspect Lin Xiaolu, because she actually knew very well that the on-site instrument calibration took various special situations into full consideration, and it was difficult for a candidate who knew nothing to influence the instrument's detection results by conventional means. The inquiry to Lin Xiaolu was just out of a sliver of hope.

After all, if it wasn't Lin Xiaolu's operation that caused any issues, then the problem could only lie in the instrument itself.

"You wait a moment."

So, the examiner instructed Lin Xiaolu and walked to the other end of the instrument, placed one hand in a slot on the instrument, and released her Magic Power—she decided to delve inside the instrument to find the root cause of the error.

This process lasted about five more minutes before the examiner took her hand off the slot with a peculiar expression.

"Instructor, what does 'Detection data exceeds the Seed Level report template limit' mean?"

She turned her head, asking the examiner still on the other side of the exam hall.

"...What?" The examiner, who hadn't spoken a word the whole time, finally reacted.

"The data exceeds the Seed Level report template limit." The examiner beside Lin Xiaolu repeated.

"Oh, that, it means that the results detected are higher than the highest value in the historical database, so it can't generate a report, hence the error."

The examiner referred to as "Instructor," clearly with more experience, put away the light screen in her hand and walked towards Lin Xiaolu and the young examiner: "Is this the reason given by the instrument for the error?"

"At least that's the reason I saw..." The younger examiner answered.

"Alright, let me see." The older examiner signaled the younger examiner to step aside, then walked to the slot on the instrument and placed her hand on it.

In no time, just like the younger examiner before her, she released her hand with an equally peculiar expression: "Indeed, you weren't mistaken."

Having said this, both examiners' gazes simultaneously focused on Lin Xiaolu's face.

"...Is something wrong?" Even Lin Xiaolu, who wasn't initially nervous, felt a bit anxious under their scrutiny.

"No, it's just that we might need your cooperation to test again."

The older examiner, unfazed, merely squinted her eyes, giving a warm smile, and then looked at the younger examiner: "Adjust to Flower Level standard."

"Are you serious? Not adjust to Bud Level?"

"Just adjust it, less talk." The older examiner poked the younger examiner's waist, causing the young examiner to wince.

Two minutes later, the instrument rebooted, and the two examiners stepped aside, once again leaving the stage to Lin Xiaolu.

This time, the adjusted instrument presented a completely different posture, as its detection ring structure expanded into a door, fully encompassing Lin Xiaolu, while the white detection light continuously spun, forming a vortex, awaiting Lin Xiaolu.

"Your Magic Armor shouldn't be an ordinary single-piece Magic Armor; it also has an expanded form, right?"

The older examiner smiled at Lin Xiaolu: "This time, remember to use it as well, the results will be more accurate."

"Ah, oh." Realizing that her Magic Armor seemed to hold a unique distinction in the examiner's eyes, Lin Xiaolu felt invigorated, lifting her hand once more to extract her Magic Armor before the instrument.

"King's Key!"

The white scepter manifested with a glow in her palm, causing the detection light inside the instrument to fluctuate violently.

Clearly, after raising the standard, the instrument's reaction to Lin Xiaolu's Magic Armor also became more active. But everyone knew, this wasn't the end.

"King's Key, form expansion, defensive form!"

With Lin Xiaolu's command, the white scepter underwent a transformation.

The shaft elongated, the tip became sharp, as threads from nowhere wrapped around, forming a protective layer on the surface. Ultimately, the scepter in Lin Xiaolu's hand transformed into a pale blue spear.

This transformation left the two nearby examiners agape. If the older examiner was merely momentarily surprised, the younger examiner was as if her worldview had been obliterated.

"…Instructor, what is this?"

Only after a while did the younger examiner seem to awaken from a dream and ask.

"I don't know."

The older examiner's answer was straightforward, yet unlike the younger examiner's bewilderment, her eyes twinkled, as if she had discovered a gold mine: "I just know that the research project for the next few years is secured."

"What project? Magic Armor transformation?"

The younger examiner looked to her instructor: "Has this thing ever had any precedent? I've never heard of it."

"Precisely because there's no precedent, it's worth studying. A transformable Magic Armor, doesn't that sound intriguing enough?"

The older examiner rubbed her chin: "Moreover, this child's Magic Armor has two forms. The current weapon-like form aside, that scepter-like form… Hmm, better not to speak carelessly."

"Scepter-like form? Instructor, did you notice something?"

"Let's look at the report first."

The older examiner waved her hand, and at that moment, the instrument in front of them also ceased operation, this time with a green light. She told Lin Xiaolu to take a rest nearby, while she eagerly opened the test information on the light screen.

The first thing that caught her eye were two of the most direct results:

[Ability Specification: Level 4]

[Development Potential: Gemstone Scepter]
