During the following training, Shi Jin was thinking about a question: why did his progress bar drop?
After Xu Jie was dealt with, his progress bar once dropped to 100. Later, after Xu Jie finished the operation and woke up, the progress bar value rose a little, to 300. After that, Lian Jun helped him arrange Xu Jie to go to a mental hospital abroad. On the day Xu Jie left City B, his progress bar dropped to 200. After that, Xu Jie arrived at the mental hospital and met the nurse arranged by Lian Jun. From then on, his progress bar has been steadily falling from 200. When he came to the school to report, the value of the progress bar was stuck at 100 and never moved again.
This should be the limit of Xu Jie's influence on his progress bar. With Xu Jie's current state, he can be sure that the last 100 progress bar values have nothing to do with Xu Jie.
Since it has nothing to do with Xu Jie, what influence will affect the progress bar this time?
There should not be any lethal factors for him in this barracks, because if there are lethal factors in the barracks, then when he first landed in the barracks, his progress bar should have increased directly, instead of suddenly decreasing a few days after he arrived at the barracks. He didn't do anything to improve his safety just now, he was just carrying water. Excluding
these two points, plus the fact that the progress bar only decreased and did not increase... maybe it is not related to the lethal factor, but the survival factor?
His eyes could not help but fall on Xiang Aoting - was it because of Xiang Aoting? Did Xiang Aoting's existence increase his survival factors? Or... He glanced at the absolutely closed and safe environment of the military camp again, and blinked in confusion - was it because of the environment? No, that's not right. If it was because of the environment, then the progress bar should have dropped immediately when he just landed in the military camp... So it was not because of the environment.
After eliminating all the possibilities, his eyes fell back on Xiang Aoting, thoughtfully. This wave of progress bar decline should still be related to Xiang Aoting. At that time, he had just finished talking with Xiang Aoting, and there was an 80% chance that the progress bar was affected by Xiang Aoting.
But it didn't make sense. According to his previous guess, the survival factor he got from someone should have a limit. The value of this limit is related to the energy of that person and the intensity of his desire to protect him.
During the period when his relationship with the five brothers of the Shi family was up and down, the survival factor given to him by the five brothers of the Shi family should have reached the limit long ago, and the progress bar should have been saturated in accepting the survival factor. Not long ago, he obtained Ruixing from Shi Weichong, and got such a big security guarantee, but the value of the progress bar did not move at all. It can be seen that the last bit of progress bar value he had left should no longer be affected by the survival factor. Xiang Aoting didn't say anything special or make any special promises just now, so why did the progress bar go down...
"Afternoon training is over, disband! Gather in the cafeteria for dinner at six o'clock, and gather in the playground for evening training at seven o'clock. Don't be late!"
Xiang Aoting's voice suddenly rang out very close. Shi Jin came back to his senses and turned his head to look at the source of the voice.
Xiang Aoting was standing on the side of the team and was looking at him. When he saw him looking at him, he frowned and raised his hand to make a gesture of knocking on his hat. Shi Jin felt a little disappointed, knowing that he had been discovered by him for being absent from duty. He smiled at him embarrassedly and raised his hand to pat his hat.
…
The content of the evening training was very relaxing. Everyone just ran, sang songs, and practiced the basic movements they had practiced in the afternoon, and the time passed by in a flash.
Until before going to bed, Shi Jin's mind was still full of questions about the progress bar. He really cared about it. Now that the plot had been completely revealed, he had never figured out where the last point in the progress bar came from. Now that he finally got some clues about the last point in the progress bar, he had to catch it.
Just thinking about it, he fell asleep in a daze, and didn't notice that after Xiao Si reminded him that the progress bar had dropped, he abnormally did not comfort him who had been struggling, but just kept silent.
Perhaps he dreamed about what he thought about during the day, and that night Shi Jin actually dreamed of Xiang Aoting.
In the dream, he turned into the original owner, lying on the cold ground with blood all over his face, dying. His face was disfigured, his fingers were broken, and it hurt a lot, probably because he lost too much blood. His body was a little cold, and his mind was a little confused.
Was he going to die?
He wanted to blink, but found that his body had no strength.
Why didn't his brothers come to save him? Where were his brothers...ah, his brothers ignored him and didn't want him anymore...He moved his arms, trying to prop himself up...I can't die here, I have to go out, I have to go out.
Bang!
There was the sound of the door being knocked open, and light finally came into the dark and damp basement.
Are they coming again, those who tortured him...He fell back to the ground, turned his head with difficulty and looked at the doorway through which the light came in, his eyes full of despair.
This time it's probably over...
A familiar tall figure rushed in.
"Xiao Jin!" Then a familiar voice came.
His eyes suddenly widened as he looked at the man running towards him, his eyes reddened, and he didn't know where the strength came from, but he actually relied on his injured arm to prop up his weak body and crawl forward a little. The moment the other person knelt down, he held the other person's outstretched hand with difficulty.
It's so warm, it's my brother's hand.
His fingers are broken, and holding the other person so tightly, the wound is compressed and it hurts, but he doesn't want to let go. He
has to hold it tight even if it hurts, and never let go, never.
"Fourth brother..." He fell back to the ground, wanting to see the other's face, but his consciousness gradually reached its limit, and he said vaguely, "...It hurts."
...
"Shi Jin!"
A call rang in his ears, Shi Jin opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling for a while, then frowned and climbed up from the bed, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
Luo Donghao patted his bed frame and said, "Get up quickly, or you will be late."
Shi Jin came back to his senses, responded to him, wiped his face vigorously to cheer himself up, folded the quilt, and got off the bed along the ladder.
Luo Donghao stood by and waited for him. Seeing that he looked a little pale, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you too tired?"
"No, I just had a messy dream and have a headache." Shi Jin answered half-truthfully, and changed the topic casually while changing clothes. He took the toiletries and went to the public washroom with him.
...
On the way to the playground, Shi Jin kept his head down and remained silent, looking listless.
Last night's dream was too real, so real that even now, he still felt a dull pain in his fingers. He had never been affected by the original owner's memory to this extent before. In the past, when he thought of the original owner's memory, he thought from the perspective of a third party. When he looked through those memory scenes, it was like watching a movie where the protagonist looked a bit like himself. He couldn't really feel the protagonist's emotions. But last night, in that dream, he was the original owner, and he felt all the pain that the original owner had experienced.
This was a really bad experience.
He bent his fingers hard to suppress the dull pain, and asked Xiao Si in his heart: "I suddenly dreamed of the original owner's memories last night. It was not the same as before when I dreamed from a third party's perspective, but from the original owner's perspective. After waking up, I kept thinking of those scenes. Is this normal? Do I need to pay attention to anything?"
Xiao Si's answer was unusually brief: "Normal, no need, just let it go."
Shi Jin frowned: "Why do you look listless today, what's wrong?"
"I..." Xiao Si started, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I miss my baby."
Hearing it mention Lian Jun, Shi Jin paused, then couldn't help but sigh, and directly put aside the things that had just been worrying him, and said: "I miss him too... I don't know if Xiang Aoting brought a message for me yesterday..."
...
Perhaps because he was too deeply affected by the dream, Shi Jin suddenly had a lot of mixed emotions when he stepped into the playground and saw Xiang Aoting.
He wanted to avoid him, to question him, to rush over and hold his hand... These conflicting emotions came and went quickly. Shi Jin paused for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. After these emotions faded, he took another step, lowered his head, followed Luo Donghao and others into the team, and consciously stood in his own position.
After Xiang Aoting waited for them to line up, he counted the number of people, glanced at Shi Jin who had been looking listless with his head down, frowned, and said, "As usual, we will warm up first, run three laps, and then stand at attention. The rules of the training remain the same."
The students did not have any special reaction to hearing this. They did not take a breath of cool air like they did on the first day, nor did they fight like they did yesterday. They just quietly and obediently warmed up, looking particularly mature and stable.
Xiang Aoting looked at them pretending to be calm, as if they were holding back some bad water. His eyes glanced at Shi Jin who was concentrating on warming up, and his fingers unconsciously drew a line on the flower list.
The three laps were quickly finished, and everyone consciously lined up and began to stand at attention. On
this day, everyone seemed to have agreed on it. No one gave up. No matter if they moved or not, or how many times they moved, they insisted on standing. No matter what Xiang Aoting said or promised, they all pretended not to hear it.
Under this collective insistence, the training time was indeed extended indefinitely as Luo Donghao worried yesterday, and the total time soon exceeded the morning training time. After Xiang Aoting found that he could not fool these trainees no matter what, he finally shut up, understood what the "bad water" they were holding back, and decided to change his strategy with relief.
"I'm glad you all chose to persevere." He stopped in front of the team and softened his tone, "But time can't be wasted indefinitely. Now, all those who were shaken, get out of the line and form another team."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although they didn't survive the training as a group, they felt that they had defeated Xiang Aoting. Those who were shaken quickly and consciously left the team, and they breathed a sigh of relief that they no longer had to drag others down.
Wow, 39 of the 40 people in the team left at once, and only Shi Jin was left standing on the field.
The students who had just breathed a sigh of relief froze upon seeing this. Looking at the lonely Shi Jin, they felt a slight pain in their hearts - so in the end, the young master was the only one left alive...
Everyone looked at Luo Donghao vaguely, with pain in their eyes - didn't you "survive" yesterday!
Luo Donghao lowered his head in shame and whispered: "Just now, there was a sudden gust of wind, and sand got into my eyes. I couldn't help but move..."
Everyone: "..." Brother, your excuse is too strong.
"What are you all standing there for? Line up!" Xiang Aoting frowned and urged.
Everyone hurriedly did as he was told, and then looked at Xiang Aoting, wondering what tricks he would do next.
Xiang Aoting walked up to them and said, "You can't hold on because your physical strength and endurance are not up to standard. If you don't meet the standard, you have to practice, and you have to practice without giving up! You all have to remember the number of times you shake, do ten push-ups for one shake, twenty push-ups for two shakes, and so on. Supervise each other and don't be lazy."
Ah, it turns out to be push-ups, that's easy!
Some students who only did it once, such as Luo Donghao, had their eyes light up.
"Before doing push-ups, all of you run five laps around the playground." Xiang Aoting suddenly added, then looked at the lonely Shi Jin on the other side, and said, "Shi Jin has passed the military stance for three consecutive days, which proves that his endurance and physical strength are far beyond ordinary people. He doesn't need to run and do push-ups, just follow me to learn fighting."
What? Fighting? !
The students who were shocked by running suddenly brightened their eyes and looked at Xiang Aoting. Luo Donghao couldn't help but yelled, "Instructor, I want to learn fighting too!" Fighting is so cool and much more fun than running!
"Qualified people are qualified to make requests." Xiang Aoting was very cold. He glanced at the group of excited quails and said coldly, "When you pass the military posture, I will let you learn something else. Otherwise, just watch others learn." Hiss
- so cruel!
The quails took a breath of cool air.
Xiang Aoting glared and said, "Why don't you run!"
Everyone was shocked by the glare and dared not make any more requests. They looked at Shi Jin with envy and walked onto the track with their heads down.
"Shi Jin, I'll accompany you tomorrow." Luo Donghao couldn't help but whispered as he ran past Shi Jin, his eyes full of jealousy and envy.
Shi Jin twitched his lips and said dryly, "Come on." Also, congratulations on taking Xiang Aoting's bait.
After the group of quails ran away, Xiang Aoting immediately walked up to Shi Jin, raised his hand and touched his forehead, and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night? I see you look bad."
The hand on his forehead was warm. Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Xiang Aoting with concern in his eyes. The scene in his dream last night flashed through his mind. He took a deep breath silently to suppress the inexplicable urge to knock his hand away, took a step back, took off his hat and put it aside, and walked towards Xiang Aoting. Xiang Aoting waved his hand and said, "Come, let's practice. I couldn't beat you last year, but this year I will definitely beat you down."
Xiang Aoting felt relieved when he saw that he was energetic again. He also took off his hat and put it aside together with the roster,
then got ready: "Okay, let me see how much you've grown in this year." Shi Jin looked at him, and his fighting spirit burst through the sky without any need for a word. He immediately tensed up his body and attacked him.
...
On the track, after turning the corner, Luo Donghao instinctively looked towards the position of his team. Then, when he saw two figures fighting back and forth, he immediately widened his eyes in shock. He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again, and screamed in disbelief: "Fuck, Shi Jin is actually fighting with the instructor! He actually knows how to fight!"
All the classmates were shocked when they heard it, and they all turned their heads to look. They just happened to see Shi Jin forcing Xiang Aoting back with a fierce high kick, and they were all stunned.
"So fierce! Is that Shi Jin?"
"Fuck, that kick was too fierce, such a neat move, Shi Jin is a martial artist."
"Hit him in the face, hit him in the face, kick him! Yes! Kick him!"
"Oh my god, is he really the young master who was raised in a coquettish way? You guys are lying to me."
Luo Donghao was already confused. He looked at Shi Jin's flexible movements and ruthless attacking techniques, and inexplicably felt a chill on his back - why did he feel that Shi Jin's fighting skills were a bit strange, as if they were all killing moves, where did he learn all this.
On the playground, Xiang Aoting also asked Shi Jin this question during a break in the fight.
Shi Jin attacked his lower body with a sweeping kick and replied, "Didn't you say last year that my attack was too rigid and formulaic? This year I have been practicing hard on this aspect." He was beaten up a lot by Gua Er and Gua Yi during the practice. The two men claimed that they wanted to improve his rigid fighting skills, but in fact they were just beating him! They kept beating him!
Hearing this, Xiang Aoting thought of the group of dangerous men under Lian Jun's command and frowned. He inexplicably felt that his younger brother was raised crooked by the other party. He pressed down Shi Jin's shoulder with a grappling hand, knocked him on the side of the waist, and said, "The damage here is too big. While attacking, you must also focus on defense. Try again!" Shi Jin's
face turned black after being knocked. Seeing that he was so at ease, he quickly turned around and struggled to break free from his hand, changed his attack method, and punched him in the face.
A team of runners happened to pass by here. When the trainees saw this scene, their blood immediately boiled. Some people took advantage of being in the crowd and shouted desperately: "Hit him! Come on Shi Jin! Beat the devil!" Shi Jin
was almost scared to the ground by the shout. His attack lost its strength and was grabbed by Xiang Aoting.
"It's too easy to be distracted. Pay attention." Xiang Aoting taught him, then looked at the running team and said coldly, "Liu Yong, do 50 push-ups. Pay attention!"
The trainees immediately retracted their necks and stayed down. Liu Yong, who was called, turned his head back with a pale face, regretting that he said too much.
...
Round and round, everyone ran and watched Shi Jin and Xiang Aoting fight each other, their eyes almost red with envy - they also wanted to be like Shi Jin, and fight the instructor for 300 rounds!
"The content of the military training is fixed. What the instructor teaches Shi Jin now, we can learn later, provided that we complete all the previous training." Luo Donghao suddenly spoke up and said, "It's like playing a game. You can only go to the next level after passing this level. Shi Jin has already had the strength to reach the next level, but he has been dragged by us. Today, the instructor took him to the level where he should go. If we don't catch up quickly, we will be left far behind."
Hearing this, everyone remembered Shi Jin's excellent performance in the past three days, and their overheated brains calmed down a little, and they all buried their heads and ran seriously - if they want to pass the level, they must work hard, and they don't have time to waste.
… Although they were calm, they couldn’t help but feel jealous when everyone came back from running and did push-ups painfully, while Shi Jin and Xiang Aoting were practicing fighting and learning martial arts boxing in advance.
Is that the world of the strong? They want to go there too.
Also, who lied to them that Shi Jin was a spoiled brat? Look at the strong little muscles on Shi Jin’s arms that bulged when he was fighting. Can those be developed from spoiled habits?
Just as they were roaring in their hearts, they saw the instructor from the next company suddenly run over, swiping at Shi Jin with sparkling eyes, and then took the initiative to ask Shi Jin to have a few moves.
Xiang Aoting agreed on behalf of Shi Jin, pulled Shi Jin over and talked to him for a few words, then made way for him.
Shi Jin and the instructor from the next company had a fight, and the players from both companies began to cheer for their own contestants. The lively atmosphere here quickly attracted the attention of other companies, and more and more people gathered to watch.
Three minutes later, Shi Jin threw the instructor from the next company to the ground with a beautiful side throw.
The cheers stopped abruptly, and the field was as quiet as death - what did they see, the trainee pushed the instructor down?
The people from Shi Jin's company were stunned at first, and then cheered loudly.
Win! Shi Jin actually won! The trainee beat the instructor! The legendary spoiled young master beat the instructor!
Shi Jin stood up and let the man go. He reached out and pulled up the instructor from the next company, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, instructor."
"What kind of guidance is this? You're really good, have you trained specifically?" The instructor from the next company stood up with his strength, and looked at him with sparkling eyes as if he had found a treasure. He turned his head to look at Xiang Aoting and asked, "What's his name?"
Xiang Aoting looked proud and replied calmly, "His name is Shi Jin. He is the first in the police academy this year and scored 600 points in cultural subjects."
"So you're the student who was almost specially recruited by XX Military Academy. I knew it." The instructor from the next company exclaimed in surprise, then looked Shi Jin up and down, patted Shi Jin on the shoulder happily, and said, "My brother also graduated from your school. We are family, family. You have good taste. You picked a good school." Shi Jin's
shoulder hurt from being patted, and he said with a fake smile, "It's fate, it's a reward."
The instructor from the next company became more and more excited: "I heard that you have been on a mission. What type of mission was it? Tell me about it."
"Nothing, just a small mission..." Shi Jin couldn't bear it anymore, and silently moved towards Xiang Aoting.
Xiang Aoting quickly reached out to save him from the fire and water, and found an excuse to send away the instructor from the next company, and then directly announced the end of the morning training. He used the excuse that he had not yet finished explaining a fighting move to Shi Jin, and took Shi Jin away first.
Everyone watched the two of them walk away, and the wind was in chaos - first place? Special recruitment? Mission? What the hell? This is talking about Shi Jin? Isn't Shi Jin a young master? The kind of person who has a mine at home but is too stupid to fold the quilt. Is the person the instructor just talked about the same person as they heard?
"Hey, Luo Donghao." Liu Yong couldn't help but poke Luo Donghao, who seemed to have been petrified beside him.
Luo Donghao looked at him stiffly.
"Who said Shi Jin was a young master first?" Liu Yong asked expressionlessly.
Luo Donghao replied dryly: “Who knows…”
…
Shi Jin became famous again, in a positive way, but he didn’t feel very happy because he had another dream.
It was the dark basement again, the dying state again, and Xiang Aoting rushed in when he was about to despair. The same scene, the same pain, the same dull pain in the fingers. Shi
Jin buried his face in the basin and used cold water to sober himself up, then stood up and looked at his trembling fingers. He poked Xiao Si with despair and said, "It has been five consecutive days, and He Qun, who has the worst physical strength in the team, can stand steadily in a military posture. Why do I still have this dreaming problem? Xiao Si, is this really normal?" Xiao
Si remained silent.
"I understand. I can't say it." Shi Jin covered his face with a towel and sighed. "Xiao Si, for more than a year, you only choose to remain silent when I ask you the two questions of what your existence is and why I was reincarnated into the original owner. If you do this, I can't help but have wild thoughts."
Xiao Si did not remain silent this time. He just reminded carefully: "Jin Jin, it's time to go to training, otherwise you will be late."
"You bastard..." Shi Jin took off the towel, looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, what are you afraid of? You're already crying, and I'm not scaring you."
Xiao Si was silent, as if he was holding back his tears. After a long while, he said: "Jin Jin, don't be angry with me, and don't leave me."
"How could I not want you?" Shi Jin collected the towels and various toiletries, put them into the basin one by one, tightened his fingers that began to ache again, and sighed softly, "Xiao Si, I miss Lian Jun."
I want to stay by his side and sleep peacefully, without dreams.
