Chapter 299 High-pressure training
The Imperial College had high admission requirements. Except for some who had gained admission through connections and some special admissions, the physical fitness of the new students was very good. Even if they were hungry, they gritted their teeth and stood at attention for three hours.
Si Ming came here early in the morning mainly to see Ye Jiaojiao. It was impossible for him to stay here for three hours. The only one who kept an eye on the whole process was Philemon, who was in charge of the twelve groups.
"Very good, I am very satisfied with everyone's performance." When the time was up, Philemon pressed the timer and smiled with satisfaction.
The freshmen breathed a sigh of relief. Just when they thought they could at least rest for a few minutes, Philemon spoke again: "Next, the second phase: four hours of standing at attention."
Everyone: “???”
Facing everyone's incredulous gazes, Philemon repeated it again, completely destroying everyone's hope and continuing the high-pressure training to the end.
From six o'clock to nine o'clock, the morning freshness has gone and the sunlight is getting more and more scorching. After another hour, some people in the team began to be unable to hold on.
One of the girls in Group S008 swayed, and Philemon caught it and announced loudly, "Group S008 will train for an extra hour."
After Philemon made the announcement, the girl from Group S008 turned even paler. She only managed to hold on by one breath and not faint, fearing that she would bring trouble to her teammates.
Things had begun, and in the next hour, everyone heard:
"Group S010 will receive an additional hour of training."
"Group S005 will receive an additional hour of training."
"Group S012 will receive an additional hour of training."
"Group S003 will receive an additional hour of training."
"Group S003 will receive an additional hour of training."
"Group S003 will receive an additional hour of training."
From six to nine in the morning, and then from nine to one, almost every group had people moving, adding more and more, and the team did not disband until three or four in the afternoon.
S001 group.
"I'm sorry. I can't hold on any longer." The boy from the Mecha Construction Department was sweating profusely and moved his lips slightly.
"Hold on a little longer, it will be over soon." Jodian was standing in front of the boy. Their group had a relatively short overtime period, and the time was up soon. Afraid of being discovered by the instructor, Jodian didn't dare to say much. He just said a comforting word and shut up.
After being exposed to the scorching sun for nearly half an hour, just when the boy felt he was about to faint, he heard the sound of someone falling to the ground.
Someone fainted, more than one.
Seeing their teammates faint, more or less people in the twelve teams started to move.
This time, Philemon was kind and did not punish them.
He waved behind him, and the soldier who came with Philemon walked forward and stuffed all the fainted freshmen into the treatment cabin.
There were twelve groups and one hundred and twenty people, but by five in the afternoon less than half of them were still standing. Finally, Philemon announced the end.
As soon as he finished speaking, bang bang bang, a large group of people fell down again.
Not dizzy, but tired.
"Gather at six o'clock tomorrow morning. If you arrive late, you will have extra training." Philemon stood at the front, smiling inexplicably and meaningfully. Everyone was tired at this time and had no energy to pay attention to him. Only Ye Jiaojiao was in good spirits. She noticed that his smile was very strange and kept a close eye on him.
After disbanding, everyone was led by their respective captains and continued to do what they were supposed to do. Those who had not finished renovating the wooden house continued to do so, those who were responsible for hunting hunted, and those who were responsible for cooking cooked. They did their work silently, and everyone was so tired that they didn't want to talk.
Ye Jiaojiao's cultivation has reached the great perfection of foundation building. After a whole day, she seemed to be in a trance, not hungry, not tired, and there was a clear difference between her and the others in the team.
In the evening, everyone was eating quietly in the wooden house.
Because she was too tired, even Connie had a poor appetite. Ye Jiaojiao did not have this worry. Her eyes were shining. She ate the food she cooked with great relish and was not at all listless.
"Classmate Ye, aren't you tired?" Claire was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to lift her chopsticks. She simply put down her bowl and watched Ye Jiaojiao eat.
Ye Jiaojiao picked up a piece of exotic plant with chopsticks, and poured herself a bowl of chicken soup that she had specially made for nourishment: "I'm not tired!" It's just a punishment of standing. She was often punished by the senior brother before, so it's no big deal!
After dinner, seeing that everyone was too tired to move, Ye Jiaojiao took on the task of cleaning up after cooking. The others saw Ye Jiaojiao running around, and thought of their initial actions, and they all felt annoyed for a moment.
Ye Jiaojiao took the dishes to the lake to wash them. In the cabin, Qiao Dian, who was considered the strongest in the team, suddenly said, "Mr. Ye is very strong."
"Student Ye, who was assigned to Group S, must have her strengths. We were wrong before," Theodore, who was also in the command department, said first after exchanging a glance with Claire. Claire followed up with another remark, urging everyone to adjust their attitude towards Ye Jiaojiao. Finally, her gaze fell on Fern: "Fern, no matter what happens in the future, at least for the next month, I hope we can all get along well."
"I understand." Fern tilted his head and spoke in a low voice, making it impossible to guess what his specific attitude towards Ye Jiaojiao was, but at least he agreed to Claire's words.
On the other side, next to the lake.
All twelve groups were exhausted today. Except for Ye Jiaojiao's group, no one had anything complicated to eat in the evening. They just ate something casually and went to rest. There were not many people coming to the lake to clean the dishes and clothes.
Ye Jiaojiao deliberately lingered for a while, waiting for the freshmen who came to fetch water to leave. Then she put down the bowl in her hand and dialed Si Ming's number.
"Hmph!" As soon as the video call was connected, Ye Jiaojiao snorted in annoyance as soon as she saw Si Ming's face, leaving him with only the back of his head.
It just doesn't seem like the one who took the initiative to call the other party at all.
Those who are favored are fearless.
In the Fifth Army warship.
Noticing the background of his young wife, Si Ming put down his official business, returned to the bedroom, and asked, "Are you tired, Jiaojiao?"
"I'm not tired, I'm just a little uncomfortable." Ye Jiaojiao really wasn't tired, so she didn't play the victim to her Taoist partner. She answered honestly and then curled her lips unhappily: "The wooden bed is too hard, and there's a cold wind at night."
"Be good, hold on for a few more days." A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, and Si Ming coaxed the person in a gentle voice.
This time, as the person in charge of military training, Si Ming's first priority is to accompany his little wife, but this does not mean that he will go easy on his little wife.
Si Ming hopes Ye Jiaojiao can become stronger more than anyone else.
So strong that no one can hurt her.
Ye Jiaojiao, who had originally intended to call for vengeance, gradually forgot under Si Ming's doting gaze that she had called to show her temper. As they chatted, Ye Jiaojiao and Si Ming talked about the planet D484: "A Ming, I've discovered that the spiritual energy on this planet is quite rich. Although it doesn't have the spiritual veins of the mining planet, it's quite suitable for growing fruits and vegetables."
After Ye Jiaojiao confessed to Si Ming, Si Ming had a basic understanding of Ye Jiaojiao's situation. He guessed her thoughts as soon as he heard her: "Jiaojiao wants to grow fruit here?"
"Fruits must be grown, but I haven't decided on a location yet. I just said it casually." Ye Jiaojiao shook her head in confusion, turned her gaze to the lake beside her, and casually fiddled with the water twice.
She hasn't toured the entire planet yet, so she should wait until she can explore it again.
