Chapter 239: The Military Training

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For the following six days, Team Savage Blade battled Lei Zhika relentlessly in the Epidemic Pond. Lei Zhika’s indignant face made him seem like a ferocious ghost, and it was a constant horror for the players to look at his face. The biggest change was when Baili Changcheng took off his gaming goggles to exit the game to do a self-proclaimed “magnificent” feat: to risk his life to accompany a gentleman, no, it should be risking his life to be with his beautiful lady. He remained absolutely calm when he watched a 3D horror movie with a cute girl in the cinema! He was overjoyed when the girl hugged him because she was afraid.
When he told Lin Jie about it excitedly, Lin Jie almost vomited blood. This dude was hopeless! What the sh*t, how was this a magnificent feat?
From the six-day battle in the dungeon and the information she had gathered from the forum, Netherblue’s medical book was recorded with many medical formulas, and they even included some medications which Lin Jie had forgotten. The information was a valuable asset because having the knowledge was as good as understanding all of the Lei Zhika’s attacks. Therefore, it allowed Lin Jie to attack Lei Zhika more effectively and efficiently, and Netherblue was of great help to Lin Jie!
The equipment which the team possessed had undergone huge changes!
Mixed Breathless was wearing a Gold Blasphemer Set and looked like a gold holy warrior. The heavy gold armor and helmet, which had a curved piece that contoured his jawline, made him look majestic and together with the shield in his hand, he looked invincible! Bu Yi had also gathered a Blasphemer Set specifically for healing purposes which could increase the effectiveness of healing by 30%. The Power Word Shield could ignite the Fire of Truth within a particular range and had a healing effect on the surrounding bodies that was worth 10% armor points.
However, the explosive power of the Blasphemer Set was low. Hence, unless it was a full set, its attributes were weaker than that of other odds and end pieced together.
In the progress table published by the official website, the center of attention—Team Savage Blade from the Brotherhood had merely progressed by 15%. In contrast, the big three alliances had surpassed 30%, while the Metal Alliance had reached the 30% mark, but they were all stuck at the Death Slime summoned by Lei Zhika.
However, Kingdom of Glory was a dark horse and emerged as a new force which hit the 40% mark. They appeared very aggressive as though they were going to be the first to slay the dungeon.
“Don’t overestimate your abilities and continue creating a mess. Haha…” Lin Jie smiled because he didn’t see the need to rush since the dungeon would only be conquered after one month.
Lin Jie took off his helmet and woke up from the game, then he began on a series of focused physical and boxing training. After washing up, he greeted his parents and took his clothes, then walked down the stairs. Zheng Ziliang’s car awaited him at his doorstep.
Today was the tenth day after the university had started, and it marked the start of the military training.
Every university student had to participate in the university military training. The training was meant to develop the students into patient, humble, and persevering individuals. It was said that the training in the Jiang City University of Arts and Sciences was particularly tough, and even the students who had trained since a young age would be exhausted by it. More than 300 students would faint because of the training.
“Woahahaha, I heard a long time ago that we could see real soldiers during the training, isn’t it very exciting?” exclaimed Zheng Ziliang as he slapped the steering wheel. He added happily, “I heard that there would be a “king of soldiers” in every military instructor team, it will be so thrilling if we get him! Have you read those urban novels? The “king of soldiers” would attract the pretty girls, Little Jie, we could learn more from him and, haha, who knows, maybe the girls will be attracted to us as well? The thought of this makes me so excited!”
Lin Jie glanced at Zheng Ziliang’s shriveled muscles and his little fat belly and nodded. “It’s indeed exciting, but I suggest that you do some preparation because I keep getting the feeling that you would be one of the many students who would faint during the training.”
The car sped to school as if it was a flying car. The Rolls Royce stirred the air and created a flirty curve, capturing the attention of many pretty girls.
“Wow, a tall, rich and handsome dude is here!”
“Rolls Royce… I’ve decided that as long as this man that appears is not more than 50 years old, I’m going to get him!”
Zheng Ziliang opened the car door in a suave manner amidst the chattering of the crowd. A flirtatious little suit and shiny hair together with his fair face made him appear very dashing.
However, the strange thing happened when Lin Jie alighted from the car.
The facial expressions of the girls became this:
( ⊙ o ⊙ )!
Two dudes had come out of the car!
Lin Jie had well-maintained muscles, and his bronze skin glistened with dazzling glimmer under the sun. In contrast to his manly contoured face, Zheng Ziliang appeared to be much more gentle.
Weren’t these two an S and an M…
“Arghhh, why is there always another man next to a handsome guy?”
“He is indeed a rich man with some special hobby…”
“What are all these people saying?” said Lin Jie as he cringed.
“How would I know? But I can tell that I am quite popular. Let’s go,” said Zheng Ziliang as he placed his arm on Lin Jie and they headed to the field. As their shadows lengthened when they walked away, some fantastic reveries were induced in the onlookers…
The freshmen military training was both a training and an opportunity for the students to interact with one another. Many friendships began with the training. For instance, you and another noob could be resting at the same spot while the rest started to march orderly; hence, the both of you would be punished by the instructor to stand for the entire afternoon. Then, an amazing friendship would be born.
“Hi, Zheng Ziliang and Lin Jie!”
“You two are finally here.”
Zhang Qiong and Yan Li carried a big bag each and smiled. Then, they waved the things in their hands, and said, “Come, here are your green caps and torn shoes, put them on quickly. Then we’ll go and have our meal because we have to start to report at 12 o’clock.”
Green caps and torn shoes…
Lin Jie couldn’t contain his laughter after he heard the familiar terms. This was how the students called the training uniform to vent their frustrations triggered by the cruel training.
The few of them changed into their uniforms and snuck into the canteen that was already full of “green caps” and “torn shoes”. Lin Jie and Zheng Ziliang were not extremely particular about dining in a restaurant. Hence, they decided to fill their tummies there before the training!
Zhang Qiong knocked his chopsticks and stopped eating, then he whispered, “Hey, I heard about something, do you guys want to know about it?”
Zheng Ziliang immediately lowered his voice and asked, “Tell us, what is it about? Instructors, training? I heard that a model soldier would be selected every year, it sounds so cool…”
“Stupid! Who would take the training seriously? All those model soldier things are there to scare the kids! My information is definitely more exciting! It is about the ranking of the campus belles in our batch, I got it from a few seniors after putting in tremendous efforts. I’ve also saved many beautiful photographs on my computer.” Zhang Qiong giggled at that. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Look, over there, over there, that’s the most beautiful campus belle amongst the freshies, and she is called Zhang Yingfei.”
“Chey,” said Lin Jie and Zheng Ziliang unanimously.
Although Zheng Ziliang was still a virgin, he had a wide outlook because he had dined with an uncountable number of celebrities. Therefore, he was not interested in a freshman. Lin Jie, on the other hand, had a crush, and even though they have not started dating, his heart had no more room for other girls.
Of course, they could still admire her beauty.
Zhang Yingfei’s figure was extremely attractive from the side with a perfect S shape curve. She deliberately had worn a top, which revealed her tummy, and a mini skirt, which showed her fair and smooth long legs. She grabbed her tiny waist, which was a huge contrast with her unrealistically big bosom. Her face was pretty, but her makeup was too thick, and it seemed as though she had undergone plastic surgery because her chin was as sharp as an awl.
“Ugly.”
“Not nice.”
Lin Jie and Zheng Ziliang looked at each other and expressed their opinions.
However, Zhang Qiong’s saliva was dropping, and he said, “I think that she’s not bad, that figure and those boobs, oh my goodness…”
Yan Li frowned and coughed. “Keep your volume down, she seems to be walking in this direction.”
They were right, Zhang Yingfei seemed to have heard what Zhang Qiong had said, and she walked towards them with a smile. Her long wavy hair bounced up and down as her heels clicked rhythmically, attracting the attention of quite a few juniors and seniors.
“Hello, Zhang Yingfei.” She stretched out her palm with a smile on her face, not to anyone else but Lin Jie. “Nice to meet you,” she added.
Many people looked on with envy and seemed to be surprised that the newbie Lin Jie could capture the goddess’ attention.
Lin Jie noticed sharply that two faces had turned unhappy.
“Using me as a shield?” Lin Jie smirked.
He immediately realized the intention of this new campus belle. She was sick and tired of her suitors, so she had found someone to be her shield. This girl must be a brilliant hunter in a game because she was good at diverting hatred away from herself.
She was going to have it easy, but Lin Jie was going to be pestered by some people who were obsessed with her.
“Hello, Lin Jie,” said Lin Jie as he grabbed her delicate little hand. Then, he pulled her, causing her to lean forward and fall onto the seat.
Zheng Ziliang, Zhang Qiong, and Yan Li looked at Lin Jie with astonishment. They looked at Zhang Yishuang and gave one another a meaningful look before moving away quietly.
“What does Lin Jie want to do?” said Zhang Qiong as he scratched his head. Then, he added, “Did he fall in love with her and wants to date her? That’s too fast?”
Yang Li shook his head and said softly, “Doesn’t seem like it.”
Zheng Ziliang sneered. “That woman is an eyesore to Lin Jie. He is going to give her a warning! She was obviously going to use Lin Jie as an excuse to ditch her suitors. I can read Lin Jie’s mind, that woman is doomed!”
Zhang Qiong and Yan Li looked at Zheng Ziliang in awe and moved further away quietly as they nodded.
…
“Brother Xiao, isn’t that the fellow who found fault with you the other time?”
“Humph, he’s tired of living! We were unlucky to encounter that insane teacher the previous time, he will not be so fortunate this time round.”
The person who was sitting at the corner was not anyone else but Zhou Xiao! He had long been attracted to the pretty Zhang Yingfei, and he intended to woo her. In this period of time, he had given her flowers and chocolate and even wanted to treat her to a meal. Despite his great efforts, she had remained indifferent. The worst thing was that she had actually walked towards that audacious fellow.
Zhou Xiao had three sidekicks with him, and one of them was a hooligan called Guo Wangtao. Wangtao rolled up his sleeves and giggled. “Brother Xiao, do you want us to teach him a lesson?”
Zhou Xiao waved his hand and said, “Don’t rush, this is the canteen, and the teachers are around. Also, it would not be nice if others know that we bully a freshman. Unlike the registration period where the freshmen are not bonded, and we could just bully them, the freshmen are now a united bunch. There is still half an hour before the training starts, we could bribe the instructor to make things hard for Lin Jie and let him know who he is.”
Guo Wangtao laughed. “Brother Xiao’s plan is indeed well thought.”
“Also, find some people to ‘take care’ of Zhang Yingfei, let her know that she can’t look down on men just because she’s good looking,” said Zhou Xiao, and he emphasized the words “take care”. He grinned and flashed a meaningful gaze.
