Chapter 861: Deadly Poison!
The next morning, after inquiring about the training location, Gu Yin and Wen Xin went directly there. When they arrived, the ten people were already warming up.
"Hey!? Isn't that Brother Lan and his wife?" Wen Xin was the first to spot the two and exclaimed in surprise.
Neither of them were there when I went to pick them up yesterday.
"We only have colleagues and comrades here; we'll talk about the rest later."
After saying this, Gu Yin patted the notebook in her hand.
Upon hearing the sound, all ten people stopped working and looked at Gu Yin.
I saw this girl yesterday, and today I received a notification to come and wait, and the person in charge will give them tasks.
I never expected it to be her.
"Line up!" Blue Flame shouted, and everyone else quickly stood in line.
"Please give instructions, sir!"
Gu Yin's toes nearly curled up from being addressed as "commander."
"No need to call me 'commander,' just call me Comrade Zhou Xiao, like everyone else. How is your training arranged? Is it arranged by the team leader, or will someone come over later to test you?"
Lan Yan asked in confusion, "Isn't Comrade Zhou Xiao in charge?"
Gu Yin looked puzzled: "With my small arms and legs, you think I'd train you? Are you kidding me? I'm in charge, but not an instructor. I'm only responsible for recording your data, checking where the problems are, and then experimenting. I'm not your sparring partner."
"Sorry! I just had a meeting, that's why I'm late."
Gu Yin turned her head and saw Bai Wuwen, dressed in a long robe, walking in with an elegant demeanor.
Gu Yin checked the time. Well, she was on time.
"Are you an instructor?" Gu Yin asked, puzzled.
Bai Wuwen smiled and shook his head: "The correct way to address me is that I am one of them!"
After speaking, he looked at the ten people: "Now that we're here, names aren't that important. For better training and better teamwork on the battlefield, it's decided at the meeting that from now on you'll all be called by nicknames, 00-09. These nicknames won't be given to you randomly; they'll be based on your training performance! The one who comes in first place is 00, and so on. Understand?"
"clear!"
Bai Wuwen nodded: "Good that you understand..." After saying that, he took out a few talismans from his pocket and threw them at the group without saying a word.
As soon as Gu Yin saw his movements, she knew what he was going to do, and quickly pulled Wen Xin and the other person away from each other.
Sure enough, after a series of crackling sounds, every one of the ten men had black smoke billowing from their faces.
You Niannian touched her burnt long hair and thought that long hair was still inconvenient, so she would cut it short later.
Blue Flame felt his muscles; it wasn't fake lightning, it really hurt!! It was both painful and numb!
The others grinned, both annoyed and exasperated.
"Report!"
"explain!"
"Excuse me, instructor, was the talisman you just used the legendary one?" one of them couldn't help but ask out of sheer curiosity.
Bai Wuwen, holding a talisman, walked past them one by one: "What do you see?"
"Report, Instructor! This contains mercuric sulfide! Mercury, an elemental poison!"
Bai Wuwen: "...Just now you were like that? And you still call it mercury sulfide? This is cinnabar! Cinnabar for drawing talismans! Here, your thoughts will have to clash with each other! But it's okay, you'll learn what traditional culture is next."
Next, Gu Yin saw that all ten of them were either drenched in rain or struck by lightning, or they seemed to have lost their minds and treated their comrades as enemies, and some even went completely mad.
Gu Yin looked at the ten people who were so exhausted they couldn't stand up, waved her hand, and immediately someone came over and took them all to the laboratory for blood tests.
Looking at the data in front of her, then at the data they had sent before, and the data from when she first arrived last night, Gu Yin shook her head.
“Comparing these three sets of data, last night’s data, whether it’s brainwaves or various functions, was significantly more active than before and today. This indicates that the threats they faced from the outside were greater than the threats you gave them today! Your training today was too simple. There must be a life-threatening situation for me to know their bottom line and to make better improvements.”
Bai Wuwen pinched his brow: "Are we really going to do this? What if someone dies?"
"As long as they have a breath left, they'll be fine. You need to think about who their future enemies and adversaries will be! Don't be soft-hearted."
"Fine, you decide."
Gu Yin left the lab and said, "I didn't attend your meeting today. Please inform the other instructors so I can see how to arrange the order."
Bai Wuwen acted quickly, and those people arrived just as quickly.
Looking at these scions of noble families, Gu Yin was surprised: "I have no doubts about the Mo and Bai families, but the Zhu and Zhong families? One of you predicts good and bad fortune, and the other increases luck. How do you train them? What do you train them to do?"
Do we really have to teach them all this? But besides the need for passing down the teaching methods, only family members have the ability to do so.
"It's like this, Elder Jin said you can arrange it however you like. Anyway, we all need to use these skills, otherwise it would be a waste. If Gu Ran and Chi Xing are here too, they will join as well." Bai Wuwen rubbed his nose, mainly because he disliked them always wandering around aimlessly. It would be better to use the ultimate techniques to train these people.
"Is this a shelter? Besides, Sister Zhong, are you the only one with that lucky koi fish-like fortune? There are so many of them, how are they going to train you? Are they going to treat you as the team's healer? ...That doesn't seem like a bad idea, huh? And Sister Zhu, what about you? Are you all alone?"
Zhu Xing'er smiled and said, "We do have some people who can predict good and bad fortune. My father has already issued a notice to all the children in the family to come and train together. However, we will have to take care of these ten people who just arrived. The same goes for the Mo and Bai families."
Gu Yin stroked her chin, looked at them and thought for a while: "Here's the arrangement, Bai Wuwen, you use talismans to train their physical bodies. Mo Ran, you use all your mechanisms and traps. Sister Zhu, you use your predictive abilities to anticipate their movements and have Mo Ran set up mechanisms and traps in advance—use all the combinations of talismans and mechanisms like explosive lightning talismans, lightning bolts, fog arrays, earthen prisons, and ground spikes! I suggest you find someone who knows combat command, or have them create a command system, to fully demonstrate your advantages and force those people to their limits! Don't ask me to do this kind of brain-intensive work; I don't understand combat techniques, I only know how to experiment! Tell Elder Jin what I mean, and then let him make the arrangements! Understand?"
The group looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Understood."
"Then let's call it a day. You all go and discuss your plans. I'll be busy for a while longer."
Back in the lab, Gu Yin compared the data from Lan Yan and You Niannian.
Lan Yan had been in their family for a while and had taken more advanced pills. Later, when You Niannian married into the family, Gu Yin also gave her pills as a gift, but she kept them and didn't take them. When she occasionally returned to the Gu family, she only took the basic version that enhanced her physique, along with some food she brought back from Da Bai Mountain. So the difference in their stats was quite significant.
Even with the basic version of the pill, You Niannian's data was far better than others. Looking at these people's data, Gu Yin was quiet for a while before leaving the room.
