Chapter 58: Chapter 26 Warning of Flattery...and Battle with Celestial Beings_3

"Anyone else want a smoke?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Me, me, me! Squad Leader!" Sun Lianhai excitedly raised his hand as well.

The remaining new recruits all raised their hands.

Even Yue Tao, who didn’t smoke, became somewhat wide-eyed with eagerness, saying he wanted to try it for fun.

After all, in the new recruit group, cigarettes were an incredibly precious resource for the new recruits. Yue Tao didn’t want to miss out, feeling like he would be at a loss otherwise.

Fang Huai was torn.

Oh my god, it’s just a single cigarette! A whole one!

In my previous life in the new recruit group, squad leader Xiang Zhiyuan only f*cking handed out one cigarette for eight people to share!

Craving for a whole month, the sensation of just making do with a drag of a cigarette, I’ll never forget. Everyone used to think it was an even more unforgettable experience than having slept with a prostitute together.

That night, everyone agreed to one drag per person, a cigarette could go around twice. But there was a f*cking guy who took three huge drags in one go, causing everyone else to lose out on a puff. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

That cigarette was almost completely burned down to the filter before it was finally discarded.

The one who took three drags was ostracized by everyone for a week.

It was hard to let go of the grudge.

Squad Leader Hao was indeed generous! Just like that, one cigarette per person!

"Fang Huai, you going to smoke?" the few words uttered by Hao Chengbin sounded almost temptingly devilish.

Smoke it! One drag and my throat would feel all cleared up!

Don’t smoke it! If I can’t even quit cigarettes, what can I possibly achieve in life? Do I want to be like before, getting up every day to spit in the trash bins and starting to cough violently whenever I talk too much?

Scared of what? I’ve got the system now, If anything, I can just remodel my lungs and air passages!

Who knows if the system even has that feature? With such a weak-ass system, what if it doesn’t?

The two voices in Fang Huai’s head were fighting.

But the last thought, that was offensive.

No, it was offensive to the system.

Just as Fang Huai was about to take the cigarette and think about whether to smoke it in that instant.

[Task: Quit Smoking.]

[This task uniquely awards the "Neurological System Enhancement" once, if the host actively smokes, the award will be retracted. (Summary: A good nervous system is not just quicker in response, but also has a stronger endocrine system.)]

F*ck this.

This system, it’s like it’s forcing me to be better.

Of course, I know the harms of smoking; my dad used to preach it to me all the time with inspirational quotes.

Apart from damaging the lungs and the respiratory system, heavy smoking can also harm neurons and brain tissue.

So... quitting smoking also "enhances the neurological system," right?

Is this something I fought for myself or is it the system award?

This award...

To hesitate even a moment is to be a grandson.

Fang Huai’s nearly extended hand immediately turned away, and he pulled out his little green basin from under the bed frame.

"Squad Leader, I guess I’ll quit. It’d interfere with the training... Jiang Peng is right, besides my heart, my lungs might not be so good either. If I keep smoking, I’m afraid they’ll really fail me in the medical examination."

Fang Huai had initially planned on pretending, saying that smoking would impede training, but seeing the seven others around him with cigarettes in their mouths, he conveniently placed the blame on Jiang Peng.

Having said that, Fang Huai looked around cautiously.

"Squad Leader... I feel uncomfortable just from the smell, can I go wash my face now?"

Hao Chengbin smiled, "Don’t overthink it. Everything Jiang Peng said was just nonsense. If your body got disqualified in the physical, not even ten people in the group would remain... But it’s good that you’re inclined to quit smoking. Go ahead and wash, just try to be quiet when you open the door."

"Yes, Squad Leader!" Fang Huai left the squad still looking concerned.

Once Fang Huai left, all the new recruits in the squad were reminded of the afternoon’s events and looked at Jiang Peng with some resentment.

Look what you’ve done, causing such mental harm to someone else?

He’s not even smoking now!

Jiang Peng had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

He had originally thought that everyone smoking together and bragging would ease the relationships, but that idea had now burst like a bubble.

The cigarette in hand lost its allure.
