Actually, from the start of last night's graduation ceremony, it was almost time to open the chest.

But Gu Ji was so focused on the rehearsal at that time, and afterward, drank a lot with his roommates, that he ended up forgetting about it.

Thinking about it now, he quickly pulled up the game interface.

[Would you like to spend 1 crisis point to open the chest?]

[Yes!]

As he watched the crisis points drop to "0.4", the treasure chest in the inventory began to shake violently, with faint cracks appearing, as if it was about to explode at any moment, accompanied by a blinding white light:

[Congratulations on obtaining a white mark: Reflex Enhancement (Small)!]

This was the initial reward I chose after the first round of death rollback?

Gu Ji's face lit up with joy.

If you asked him, "What would you most want to choose in the 'Golden Truth' scenario?"

Without a doubt, it would be this one right in front of him.

Marks like "Fighting", "Firearms", "Strength" have too narrow an applicability, but "Reflex" is different. It perfectly fits all the components of a crisis: sudden outbreak, unpredictability, urgent handling, all of which require quick reflexes.

He clicked on the mark, and a prompt popped up:

[Marks are divided into five levels: Small, Medium, Large, Pure, Perfect; three of the same level can be synthesized into a higher-level mark, failure will destroy them all; the higher the mark level, the higher the synthesis success rate.]

[Current synthesis success rate: 35%]

This is interesting.

It's the first time Gu Ji had seen a mechanism where the higher the enhancement, the higher the success rate. Most games have a higher chance of failure with higher levels, but this game does the opposite.

It's a bit fair, but not too much.

He embedded the mark into the only slot under the attribute board, and his gaze immediately sharpened a bit.

If he had this mark during last night's rehearsal, he believed he could have performed even better in that final confrontation with his seniors.

After dealing with the game, Gu Ji grabbed a breakfast coupon and drank a bowl of porridge.

When he checked out from the hotel, it was already ten in the morning.

He returned to the school dormitory, finding the room empty. There were only three beds left, his, Gao Bo's, and Jiang Hao's.

"Back quite early, huh?"

Gao Bo laughed while brushing his teeth: "I thought after drinking so much, you'd wake up in the afternoon."

"My drinking capacity isn't that bad."

After speaking, Gu Ji pointed to the empty beds, "Have the others left?"

"They've all gone, eager to go home and prepare for interviews. I'm leaving soon too, got a flight at 1 PM."

Jiang Hao placed his suitcase, pulled those boxes of fitness food from under the bed, and handed them over, "Gu Ji, I noticed you love eating chicken breast, so take these fitness foods and supplements. They're heavy to carry anyway, a hassle."

"Thanks, big brother."

Gu Ji knew Jiang Hao was afraid he wouldn't accept, so he deliberately said it was a "hassle". "Shall Gao Bo and I go see you off?"

Jiang Hao declined a few times but eventually couldn't refuse.

After seeing off the big brother, it was just Gu Ji and Gao Bo left in the dorm. The two began to study the second round job selection for the joint exam. This year, the special police recruitment in Ningzhou didn't have many positions, with only one in the assault team, though the patrol special police had more considerable openings.

Unlike the armed police special forces, public security special forces are under the police system, classified as civil servants.

Aside from the conventional "four-tier division" of "all staff, major staff, middle staff, and general staff", special police positions are divided into two types: one is the assault team, which is mostly understood as special forces responsible for counter-terrorism, bomb disposal, anti-hijacking, and anti-plane hijacking.

The other type is the patrol special police team, which conducts urban armed patrols, handles various emergencies, supports national economic construction, and performs rescue and disaster relief tasks. It's the "jack-of-all-trades" type, mostly involved in street patrols, checkpoint duties, assisting in setting up roadblocks, searching for vehicles, and capturing armed criminal suspects.

Some cities also have anti-riot police teams, which deal with unrest, riots, and illegal gatherings.

"Gu Ji, I think the two of us should choose patrol special police for a more stable option. Our class monitor Wu Kang has always wanted to become a special police officer. He's a local of Ningzhou and will definitely compete for that single assault team slot."

Gao Bo offered his analysis and advice on the side.

Thinking it over, Gu Ji thought it made sense.

One must admit, Wu Kang's public security joint exam scores were indeed high, and to join the special forces, he even gave up a round of job selection opportunities. Even if he could get a full score in the interview, scoring by the 80-20 rule, he might still not surpass Wu Kang.

In the end, the two chose the Ningjiang District Special Police Brigade's Patrol Special Police Team 1 position, which happened to be recruiting two people.

The next few days involved receiving notifications, medical exams, and physical fitness tests.

The police physical fitness test might be difficult for others, but for special police students, things like high-jumping, 4×10 meter shuttle running, and 1000 meters are almost daily training.

After passing smoothly, Gu Ji was scheduled for an interview on June 10th at 9 AM in room 302 on the fourth floor of the main building at school.

"Gu Ji, I'm a bit nervous."

On the 10th, Gao Bo and Gu Ji queued up in the corridor as their numbers were called, and as it was almost their turn, Gao Bo suddenly became a bit flustered.

"We've reviewed for so long, it's definitely solid."

Gu Ji pinched the back of Gao Bo's arm, "Keep calm."

For some reason, Gao Bo subconsciously thought back to graduation rehearsal day, recollecting Gu Ji's calm command throughout, and his heartbeat gradually slowed.

When Gao Bo came out, the teacher inside stepped out, looked at the list, and called out: "The last one, Gu Ji."

Gu Ji took a deep breath. He was the final candidate of today's interview round. He verified his information and documents at the door, greeted politely.

Facing a table put together, five examiners from the provincial and municipal bureaus sat behind it. One middle-aged female examiner read the unified opening statement for the interview, which consisted of three questions, mainly related to how special police should properly handle various crisis situations.
