Chapter 565: Ability Test

Zhao Yao was brought into a huge white room. It had a television placed in its center and an outdated Nintendo game console.

Looking at the FC game console, which was the most popular game back in the 1980s, Zhao Yao blinked and said, “Hey, the test you were talking about, don’t tell me it’s to play this game?”

Kaede Hattori laughed, “Why, Mr. Yamada, have you not played this game before?”

Zhao Yao frowned slightly, “Well, it’s not that I haven’t played it before, but what does this game test?” Deep in his heart, he knew that this test was definitely not easy and based on his understanding of his character and his real attitude toward Japan. He was 80% sure that he would not be able to pass the test.

Hence, Zhao Yao’s objective was to understand the principles of the game and mask his real personality to pass the test.

But the game console in front of him slightly puzzled him.

Kaede Hattori casually walked to the game console and turned it on. It was a game that Zhao Yao had never seen before. He told Zhao Yao, “Try playing this game. If you win this game, you will be able to join us and become one of our members.”

Zhao Yao frowned. Though he was still unsure of the objectives of this game, he started playing it anyway.

As he watched Zhao Yao start a new round, Kaede Hattori smiled slightly and left the room.

Left with no choice, Zhao Yao grasped the joystick and started to play the game. He realized that this game was similar to Mario’s platform video games. As he played, he thought to himself, “Does this mean that the better I am at playing this game, the higher the rating I will get?”

…

Kaede Hattori walked to another room that was full of huge screens showing Zhao Yao playing the video game from all angles. This was obviously the security footage of the scene.

A Japanese cat was sitting in front of the security footage, staring blankly at Zhao Yao as he played the game.

When he saw Kaede Hattori walk in, the Japanese cat yawned and pressed some keys while asking, “The person being tested this time is this guy here? He looks so weak.”

Mr. Yamada looked like an average man. He had the face of a normal white-collar, middle-aged office man that could easily blend into a crowd at first glance.

Kaede Hattori laughed when he heard what was said, “Ah-Ri, Mr. Yamada may look like an average man, but in reality, he is a rare talent. He single-handedly investigated the truth behind Kappei’s assault and when I sent people to question Momo, the information I received was the same as what he said.

He shares our aspirations and is thus a potential ally. I have high hopes for him.”

The cat named Ah-Ri pursed his lips, “Talented or not, one look at his basic properties will tell. As long as he plays my game, I will be able to detect the level of his fighting power, intelligence, charm, loyalty, luck, and chivalry. As for loyalty, only those that are truly loyal to the Special Higher Police will be able to pass these numerous tests.”

A hexagonal image appeared on the screen in front of Ah-Ri, it was a graph representing the six basic qualities.

This was Ah-Ri’s skill, the power of ‘Individual Basic Properties Analysis’. That Nintendo game console was a superpower item conjured from his powers. No matter who played the game, Ah-Ri would be able to detect their six basic properties: fighting power, intelligence, charm, loyalty, luck, and chivalry. Ah-Ri designed the loyalty detected here to be specific to the Special Higher Police.

The values of the six basic properties would determine whether or not the person passed the test.

However, in the radar that had appeared, the six basic properties had very low values and formed a very small hexagon.

Seeing the values on the screen, Ah-Ri pursed his lips and said, “So weak, he will most likely fail the test.”

Kaede Hattori pointed angrily at the property labels on the radar image and shouted, “What is going on here?”

Ah-Ri looked at it again and realized that what was written above was promiscuous, cuckolding, H-rate, flexibility, outdoors, swallow-

Kaede Hattori grabbed Ah-Ri’s head and said, emphasizing each word, holding back his anger, “What are you up to?”

“Ah!” Ah-Ri immediately turned off the radar image and laughed coyly, “Hahahaha, this was a new radar image I thought of yesterday when I was testing Peach. It’s a small problem. Don’t be bothered by it. I will adjust the radar for you immediately.”

“Wait!” Kaede Hattori had a cold expression on his face as he took out his phone to snap a photo of the six-dimensional image in front of him and asked again, “Is this image accurate?”

As the two were talking, they did not notice that in a corner of the room a small cat head had quietly sneaked out from the floor below, raising his cat ears to hear what was being said.

The eavesdropping cat was Gaia whose superpower was the ability to burrow into the ground. Before entering the room, Zhao Yao had called him out with the help of Roly Poly’s invisibility power to let him tail Kaede Hattori and gather intel about him.

Gaia quietly tapped on his phone to send a message to Zhao Yao.

In the game room, Zhao Yao glanced at the invisible phone on the floor and thought to himself, “So this what it’s about? Fighting power, intelligence, charm, loyalty, luck, and chivalry… I have no problem with everything except loyalty, which is my main worry. This seems to be a bit of a problem.”

Zhao Yao thought for a bit. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he said to Matcha, “Matcha, come and play this game.”

“Huh?” Matcha put both paws on the joysticks. He controlled the game while Zhao Yao held his paws, moving them as if he were the one playing the game. Due to Roly Poly’s power of invisibility, Matcha could not be seen from the security footage. It looked as if Zhao Yao was playing the game.

In the control room, as Ah-Ri was controlling the panel of the six-dimensional basic properties, a radar image of the six basic properties appeared on the screen.

“Fighting power 1, Intelligence 30, Charm 1, Loyalty 0, Luck 1, Chivalry, 1.”

Both Ah-Ri and Kaede Hattori were shocked beyond words.

“There actually exists such a lousy level of basic properties?” Kaede Hattori was shocked and gaped at the screen before he continued, “Even for a cat, shouldn’t there be more than 10 points in its fighting power? How can a person’s basic properties be so low? What’s more, an intelligence of 30 points is considered mentally retarded. A charm of 1 point and 0 points for loyalty, how is that possible? Even a pig wouldn’t have such a low score.”

Ah-Ri also scratched his ears and wondered aloud, “Are my superpowers expired?”

“How can superpowers expire?!” Kaede Hattori slapped Ah-Ri’s head and said, “You better be more serious with this!” Thinking about the adult version of the six-dimensional basic properties that had previously appeared on the screen, Kaede Hattori concluded that Ah-Ri was not doing his job seriously and that this had resulted in the distorted values on the radar image of the basic properties.

Ah-Ri drooped his ears and said in defeat, “Alright, alright, I will try again.”

Zhao Yao received a message informing him that Matcha’s test worked. “Good, since a cat can also be mistaken as a person doing the test…”

“Let’s try using the Sixth Sense illusion first. If it doesn’t work, there’s only one other way…” Zhao Yao looked at Matcha, whom he was holding, and activated the Sixth Sense illusion. All of a sudden he said, “Be loyal to Japan! You are the heir to the Empire of Japan! A true blue Japanese cat!”

In the next moment, Kaede Hattori stared at the values before him and squeezed Ah-Ri’s neck in a fit of rage, screaming “What the hell are you doing? His charm also went to 0? You better be more serious about this!”
