It was the kind found on trains.
Peanuts, sunflower seeds, drinks, mineral water.
No, not accurate.
As the small trolley was pushed closer, everyone was utterly gobsmacked. Damn, it’s like a little convenience store!
Chicken feet, braised pig’s leg, instant noodles, all sorts of snacks, cola, Sprite, orange juice, fruit, you name it.
Hu Peizhou approached the cart with a smile and said,
"For the entire duration of this concentration training, we too will have the ’Strong Army Combat Vehicle’! But you’ll need points to make a purchase!
Starting today, we will score you daily based on your training performance! The points might be positive or negative, and anyone who disobeys orders will lose points!
Right now, everyone starts at zero points. Anyone who falls to negative twenty points will be eliminated from the training!
These points can be used to buy stuff! Additionally, your historical points will also determine your final rank!"
As Hu Peizhou spoke, he took a pack of braised pig’s trotters from the cart, waved it in front of everyone, and said,
"This, for five points! Those who perform well in daily training can earn up to five points!"
Then he picked up a bottle of cola.
"This, for three points!"
Having said that, he opened both right in front of everyone, took a bite of pig’s trotter, followed by a swig of cola, showing off.
Damn? Damn?
"Captain Hu! Didn’t you say you’d only have two meals a day with us? You have no points, why can you eat?"
Hu Peizhou chuckled, "I’ll start once I’m done eating."
Everyone watched the pig’s trotter in his hand, grinding their teeth in envy.
Damn, each of these people has their own annoying ways.
Li Kui was challenging everyone, bobcat was mocking everyone, and Captain Hu was disgusting everyone with various actions.
"Huh, junk food, I don’t eat that." Some expressed disdain.
But some were drooling.
"Hey, if you don’t like it, exchange some points for snacks for me once you’ve got them. I just love junk food! My mom always says I was picked up from a trash heap, so I love this stuff—it tastes like home!"
"Heh, then go live next to the trash can by the toilet, see if you can find that feeling of home."
Fang Huai couldn’t help wanting to laugh as he listened from the sidelines.
All the big shots had quite the trash talk game.
But this points system, why does it sound so familiar? frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Could it be that my ’Merit System’ is related to the Hus?
However, the cost-performance ratio is way too low—five points just for one pig’s trotter, when with my damn five military merit points I could get several ladies’ hairstyles, and every day there’d be old ladies waiting to feed me pig’s trotters.
Fang Huai, having watched countless special forces TV shows and short videos in the future, keenly felt that Old Hu was employing a very melodramatic special forces training method. It was meant to break down their limits step by step, making them obey orders and become machines. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
And he himself was that constantly rebellious thorn.
Indeed, he had little respect for this method.
In Squadron, he never liked such oppression. Serious training and a joyful life had always been what he pursued.
Unyielding willpower was a deep-seated belief. The selfless bravery of countless firefighters wasn’t instilled by kicking feet on butts.
Nonetheless, for this mere forty-odd-day training, he had no illusions about changing anyone. If he could respect the rules, he would; if not, he’d find a way around them. If all else failed, he’d exit. It was crucial to stay true to himself—he wouldn’t agree to train soldiers in such a manner.
If he were the one leading such a group, how would he do it?
Defiant and unruly, even Lian Xu, who currently seemed inconspicuous in the formation but showed off during the Corps Martial Arts Competition, he had seen.
Winning over the group was a primary concern.
...
Fang Huai wasn’t wrong.
At 10 a.m., the one who would win over the group arrived.
Everyone in the courtyard was heaving and hoisting tires when two military trucks and a bus rolled in, hugging the wall and coming to a stop behind the crowd.
"Captain, the vehicles have arrived!" Kui Li bellowed up to the upstairs.
Hu Peizhou stepped out of the office just as several officers were disembarking.
Everyone cast curious glances in that direction.
The bus was packed with people, all seats filled, but the two preceding trucks had only the driver and a passenger.
Hu Peizhou waved over at one of the young captains who had just gotten out of a vehicle.
The captain nodded in acknowledgment.
Kui Li, standing at the command post, dropped the tire he was holding, wiped off his sweat, and walked straight over to the captain, laughing heartily as he slung an arm around his neck, saying,
"What took you so long?"
The captain pointed towards the people on the bus, "I got to Chongqing yesterday, Captain Hu told me to borrow some vehicles and people from the Chongqing Team."
This aroused quite some curiosity among the bystanders.
Bringing vehicles was one thing, but bringing so many people? Would there be enough room?
"What are you looking at?" Bobcat’s voice shattered everyone’s gazing:
"Quickly get back to work! It’s none of your business!"
Fang Huai was lifting a huge tire, but still sneaking peeks in that direction.
Unlike the others who were merely curious, he was filled with envy.
Damn, being in a big unit has its perks, just open your mouth and you can borrow two large trucks and a busload of people!
Humph, when my unit has money and manpower, I won’t need to borrow from anyone!
"Tsk, Number 1, I’m talking to you! Do you want me to help you pluck your eyes out to affix them to the back?"
Aside from his mouth, Bobcat had a sharp eye, catching every little action of the 48 men as clear as day.
Fang Huai turned around, smacking his lips.
"Bobcat, that’s too light. Give me something heavier! Li Kui can’t keep up with me anymore, he’s worn out. Why don’t you give it a try?"
The others laughed.
This new recruit, who had earned First Class Merit, was truly fierce, growing fiercer by the day, and it seemed he was not satisfied with Bobcat. He had issued a few challenges to Bobcat that morning, enough to give the smart-mouthed man a hard time.
Everyone found it very amusing.
Bobcat wasn’t one to back down: "Heh heh, okay! Wait till this afternoon, I’ll take you for a run!"
He was sure that Fang Huai wasn’t fast, always stabbing at Fang Huai’s weak points.
Kui Li, overhearing this, felt a bit dissatisfied, "Kid, wait and see, I’m going to play something big with you later!"
The captain standing beside him heard this and gave Kui Li a look: "What’s up?"
Kui Li chuckled, "Hey, this kid is quite stubborn. He trained with me all of last night, and he still wants to train with me today. He’s got some backbone."
The captain frowned slightly, patted his service uniform, removed his broad-brimmed hat, and walked through the crowd holding tires to the front of the formation.
Bobcat immediately made way to the side.
Everyone looked at the captain with curiosity.
The captain’s expression was serious as he stared at the crowd and said,
"My name is Chen Qingzhao, codename Lin Chong. You can call me by either name. This afternoon, everyone will undergo a physical fitness test. If you can’t make it, don’t go around challenging the instructors later on. Just follow the training obediently."
His words carried an oppressive force from above.
Unlike the others, this man spoke with clear enunciation, not a word out of place, without any hint of jest.
Just plain scorn.
With that, the troops were in an uproar.
Since last night till now, their instructors had been talking about following the rules, but this was the first time someone had spoken so brazenly.
Fang Huai also smiled.
Free-to-play? You want to challenge me with free-to-play? I’m a pure pay-to-win player!
