After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 573: Chapter 437 Victory Won’t Come to Me

"When I am exhausted, that’s when my training truly begins."

—Arnold Schwarzenegger

The last eight days of training for the team consisted of integrating basic movements learned into routines.

Everyone was undergoing intense self-upgrades under the immense pressure of Fang Huai’s terrifying physical ability.

The process of performing routines is omitted here by tens of thousands of words.

In addition, everyone was concerned with their physical condition daily. Following the ghastly "anatomy" that Old Randy preached, they tested and adjusted their "technical quality."

To adjust technical quality meant Meng Qiang recorded each training session. Before practice, the team headed to the Multi-Function Classroom to review videos of yesterday’s most successful and most failed attempts, discussing every individual’s strengths and weaknesses during the training to make improvements, then immediately going downstairs to execute the practical part.

The focus went down to the frequency of running steps, gait, awareness of grabbing guns and water hoses, which sections to slow down, and which to charge.

And Fang Huai’s training was even more refined, precise to the contact time of his footsteps on the ground. Coaches had to play Fang Huai’s training videos at 0.125x speed in order to accurately adjust his every subtle movement.

At first, the coaches thought there wasn’t enough time and prepared to focus on adjusting his leg movements; unexpectedly, Fang Huai’s learning capability was shockingly amazing; with his terrifying memory and reaction ability, it only took a few days to complete the testing and modifications as per the coach’s directives. fгeewebnovёl.com

All this could be termed horrifying.

The three coaches were seasoned and experienced. They had been exposed to national and world-class athletes and were constantly pushing those athletes to their limits. These soldiers were far from reaching those limits, so even Fang Huai’s extraordinary speed and physical fitness only merited simple praise from them.

But Fang Huai’s learning process had almost made Old Randy use up all the dozen exclamatory words and seven or eight terms for "genius" in English, intermittently calling out their "God."

Coach Yin and Coach Huang referred to him as an "unpolished gemstone," but then decided that was not fitting; he was simply a pair of jade.

It seemed as though he had no body inertia.

Whatever they asked him to change, he could change, only needing a few tries to adapt and then executing the required power moves consistently.

All three coaches unanimously suggested he retire and enter the athletic field, as he would definitely receive better treatment than the troops. And with his physical fitness as a base, he stood a real chance at sprinting for an Olympic gold medal.

The national bonus for an Olympic gold medal had risen from 6,000 yuan during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games to 250,000 yuan now, and it was bound to go even higher in the future, not to mention sponsor rewards and huge endorsement deals.

But Fang Huai just looked at them with a half-smile, which slowly reminded them who had paid for their trip, so they reluctantly shut up.

Damn it, he was the sponsor!

A group of people came and went in a rush, treasuring every second, bringing an unprecedented tension to the Second Squadron.

How tense? On the last day of state adjustment, Lian Xu’s girlfriend came to look for him at the Squadron’s War Training Department where the deputy director had even approved his leave, yet he still did not go out.

Lian Xu was quite handsome and cultured. His girlfriend was also pretty—a lovely young lady just waiting there. Everyone felt bad for her. They said he was about to go to Tianjin for a competition and encouraged him to go out and spend time with her, but he hemmed and hawed, and finally, with a mournful expression, secretly told everyone:

"I really don’t dare to go out! The moment I leave, my girlfriend... she’s like a vampire! If my energy gets sapped, what will you guys do?"

Wow, just wow.

I was just like, wow.

Out of the ten representatives, seven were bachelors.

Fang Huai was something like a half bachelor in that regard.

After hearing his reason, nobody could even bring themselves to laugh.

Gui Qiang received a nickname from Chen Zhenghai, called "Gui Mazi." His face was forever numb, having never had a girlfriend. In his sixth year as a soldier, at 24, he was still a virgin. Hearing this, he sighed deeply:

"Ah damn, some die from drought and others from floods. If I had such a pretty girlfriend waiting for me, I’d go out even if it meant breaking discipline. I wouldn’t come back even if my back was broken! I’d hope to be so drained I’d take all of you down with me!"

Then everyone burst out laughing.

Lian Xu glanced at Fang Huai: "My girlfriend is pretty? People in the Second Squadron say that Fang Huai’s girlfriend is the true goddess! Everyone says she’s like a fairy descended to earth! Long legs! He’s the lucky one!"

At this moment, He Zhijun also showed a smile, gossiping: "Little Yang is indeed pretty. Fang Huai, you must have enjoyed yourself last time you went home?"

Seeing the conversation shifting towards him, Fang Huai’s expression was one of surprise as his mouth opened and closed.

"I... forget it, let it be destroyed."

The others immediately revealed sly smiles.

Seeing even the Big Demon King Fang had a mountain he couldn’t conquer comforted them considerably.

Fang Huai really wanted to bring Yang Shaoqing over, playing the tender bird next to him so they could truly appreciate the different pronunciations of "jealousy."

But just then, his phone rang in his pocket.

Checking the caller ID, Fang Huai smiled.

It was September 12th, and this call indeed should be coming.

"I don’t want to keep jabbering with you guys. Rest well, we leave tomorrow at noon!"

With that, he walked off to the side and answered the phone.

"Hello, Secretary General."

On the other end came Secretary General Hao’s voice, suppressed yet excited.

"Little Fang, just as you said, the American Secretary of the Treasury, Paulson announced today that the Federal Reserve will not bail out Lehman Brothers. They should be filing for bankruptcy protection soon!
