Chapter 497 Solving One Person
The effects of the mental spell on Yi Zhonghai only gradually disappeared after the host collected the test papers from the participants of the Level 7 assessment.
Only then did Yi Zhonghai seem to wake up from a dream.
The effect of the Mental Derangement Curse is somewhat unique. After the curse's effect wears off, the other person will not lose that part of the memory; on the contrary, they will remember it clearly.
Recalling what he had just written on the exam paper, Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale.
"How... how could this happen?"
A look of despair flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.
He clearly knew most of the answers on the test paper, but just now he seemed possessed, scribbling and drawing randomly on the paper.
He knew perfectly well that the written test was over.
It was only because Yi Zhonghai was so shrewd that he didn't show it; otherwise, he would have screamed at this point.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just the written exam, it's nothing. We must not let what happened earlier affect the actual exam next."
Yi Zhonghai remained strong-willed; he immediately took several deep breaths to adjust his emotions.
He knew very well that although the written test for senior technicians was important, the actual test was still the most important.
As long as the actual test score is good, even if the written test score is poor, there is still a good chance of passing the assessment.
Now, all Yi Zhonghai needs to do is forget what just happened and focus entirely on preparing for the upcoming assessment.
Even though Yi Zhonghai gradually calmed down, a shadow still lingered in his heart.
He couldn't help but recall that strange state he had just experienced.
Yi Zhonghai also didn't know how to explain it.
If feudal superstition hadn't been rejected, he might have even wanted to pray to the gods on the spot.
Li Qin watched quietly from the sidelines.
Seeing how quickly Yi Zhonghai was able to adjust his mindset after encountering difficulties, he was also very impressed.
This is something that most people cannot do.
After encountering such a strange event, most people would either break down and cry or become suspicious and paranoid.
But Yi Zhonghai was able to quickly adjust his mindset.
It was as if nothing had happened.
This way, it won't affect things later on.
However, this only strengthened Li Qin's resolve to cut off Yi Zhonghai's path to the seventh-level assessment.
Otherwise, given the other party's temperament, coupled with Old Silver Coin's personality, deep cunning, and the added advantage of being a seventh-level worker.
This will definitely cause Li Qin some trouble.
As time passed, the actual exam soon began.
Li Qin did not intervene in Yi Zhonghai's affairs at the beginning, but went to check on Liu Haizhong first.
Although Liu Haizhong's level was still some distance from passing the Level 7 assessment, Li Qin thought about it for a while to prevent any unexpected situations.
They still acted decisively.
This time, Li Qin's target was not Liu Haizhong himself, but the various sizes and models of hammers in front of Liu Haizhong.
For blacksmiths, the hammer is their most crucial tool.
A skilled blacksmith is certainly very familiar with every hammer.
When using these hammers, you don't even need to calculate how much force to use; you can do it simply by relying on muscle memory.
Li Qin intended to take advantage of this.
Li Qin pointed lightly at the hammers on the control panel;
"Change!"
This time, Li Qin used a transformation spell.
However, he did not change the shape of the hammers or anything else; he simply made a slight change to their texture.
As the texture changed, the weight of these hammers immediately underwent a subtle change.
In this way, when Liu Haizhong used these hammers to forge the parts, the weight of the hammers changed, but Liu Haizhong was unaware of this.
Or perhaps they didn't realize it at the time and continued to forge with conventional force.
The final part will definitely not be up to standard.
It doesn't even reach the level of completion.
After all, the senior technician assessment focuses on the processing and forging of precision parts, and even the slightest error in precision parts can lead to disastrous consequences.
Even the slightest error during forging can result in vastly different final products.
Liu Haizhong's skill level was already somewhat lacking, and now with Li Qin's "help," his chances of passing the Level 7 assessment have dwindled even further.
Unless Liu Haizhong pulls some kind of cheat, the outcome is basically already decided.
Having settled things with Liu Haizhong, Li Qin returned to Yi Zhonghai's side.
The next step is crucial.
When Li Qin arrived at Yi Zhonghai's side, he found that the other party had already begun using equipment to process the precision parts for testing.
Although the equipment at this time was very bulky and difficult to operate.
However, Yi Zhonghai's performance remained very stable.
His hands did not tremble at all when he was processing the parts.
To become an excellent fitter, a steady hand is the most basic requirement. Only with a steady hand can you operate the machine well and produce parts with small errors.
From this perspective, Yi Zhonghai is indeed very talented in fitter work.
No wonder he rose from an apprentice to a level seven or even level eight fitter in just over ten years.
While the claim of being at level eight might be somewhat exaggerated, level seven is definitely accurate.
The more this was the case, the less Li Qin wanted Yi Zhonghai to pass the Level 7 assessment too early.
Since Yi Zhonghai uses machinery to process parts, this is a good thing for Li Qin.
He only needs to exert a little influence to render the parts processed by Yi Zhonghai unusable.
However, Li Qin was not in a hurry.
He planned to wait until the most critical moment before making his move to have Yi Zhonghai destroy the parts in his possession.
Li Qin even planned to strike when Yi Zhonghai was about to succeed, just to disgust him.
Let Yi Zhonghai experience what it means for joy to turn to sorrow.
Li Qin wanted to see if Yi Zhonghai could maintain his composure under these circumstances.
Thinking of this, Li Qin looked at Yi Zhonghai with a strange smile.
Yi Zhonghai, who was operating the machine, suddenly couldn't help but shiver.
Fortunately, his hands were steady enough; otherwise, Li Qin wouldn't have needed to intervene, and he would have ruined the parts he was processing.
"It seems the weather has really changed; I'll have to prepare some warm clothes."
Yi Zhonghai glanced around instinctively and found nothing unusual.
I had a vague feeling of unease just now, but now I think it was just my imagination.
The chills were simply due to the drop in temperature.
Yi Zhonghai then focused his attention once again on operating the machine to process the parts.
Yi Zhonghai's reaction surprised Li Qin;
"Is this due to a strong innate sense or some kind of unseen connection?"
Li Qin looked at Yi Zhonghai with great surprise.
He strongly suspected that Yi Zhonghai's shivering earlier was not due to the cold weather, but rather because of the malice he had just exuded.
However, this was only Li Qin's suspicion.
Moreover, such things cannot be verified in a short period of time.
It's also possible that he's overthinking things, and what just happened was simply a clever misunderstanding.
However, Li Qin kept this matter in mind.
He plans to find an opportunity to conduct more experiments in the future to verify the results properly.
Now is not the time to delve into this matter.
