"Hey, Wang Han, wake up, it's time to get to work."
The next day, at six o'clock in the morning, just as the sun was shining on the earth, Wang Han was woken up by Wang Dachui from the communal bed.
"It's not a dream, my cheat system has really arrived." Upon waking, Wang Han immediately closed his eyes. Seeing the download progress bar already more than halfway complete, he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's already 57% complete. It has to be a cheat system that works right now!"
"You brat, what are you daydreaming about? Get up now, the Japanese are making us work." Wang Dachui saw Wang Han close his eyes again and thought he was about to faint again, so he slapped Wang Han and said.
Outside the barracks, the incessant shouts and curses of the traitorous translator could be heard continuously.
Wang Han jumped up from the communal bed, put on his shoes and coat, and ran outside with the others. If they were late, the Japanese and traitors would make things difficult for them.
Outside, the four or five hundred prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp had already gathered. A squad of more than fifty armed Japanese soldiers counted the number of prisoners, distributed the tools for their work, and then escorted them toward the place where they were to work, the quarry.
The quarry was located in a mountain valley about two kilometers east of the prisoner-of-war camp. There were steep mountain walls on both sides formed by quarrying. The prisoner-of-war camp where Wang Han was located was responsible for quarrying the stones here to supply the Japanese soldiers for building various fortifications.
Here, the Japanese only needed to block both ends of the ravine to prevent any prisoners from escaping. The work of supervising the mining was done by a group of Japanese soldiers leading the Chinese collaborators. Once the rocks were almost completely mined, the Japanese would escort the prisoners to transport the rocks to where they were needed, and then return to continue mining.
After Wang Han and the other prisoners arrived at the quarry carrying tools on their shoulders, they immediately began working amidst the shouts of the traitors.
The work in the quarry was very simple, but extremely physically demanding. The Japanese soldiers would blast the rocks down from both sides of the ravine, and then the workers would carry them on their backs or in their arms to the wheelbarrows that the Japanese had confiscated in the middle of the ravine. Larger rocks were broken by several people working together or by using tools, while smaller rocks were carried in baskets, shoulder poles, and dustpans, and then transported away by manpower.
It seems simple, but these stones weigh tens or hundreds of kilograms each, which is very physically demanding, and the Japanese and their collaborators don't give them much time to rest.
"Ding..." At noon, a crisp notification sound rang in Wang Han's mind as the computer completed a download.
Wang Han, who was carrying stones on his back, paused for a moment, dropped the stones, and quickly closed his eyes.
Closing his eyes, Wang Han trembled with excitement, as if he were seeing a beautiful paradise. Before him, the computer's download bar was empty, and an icon appeared below it with a line of small text: "Giant Object Cheat has finished downloading and has automatically installed." A further explanation followed: 'Giant Object Cheat can infinitely magnify any physical object, and the user will not perceive the difference in weight after magnification.'
Below the icon is a text that reads: Using cheats requires a strain on the body or soul. The stronger the cheat, the better the effect, but also the greater the burden. If the burden exceeds the limits of the body or soul, one will fall into a coma. Note: Cheating is risky; use with caution. To use it effectively, physical health is key, and energy is fundamental.
"A giant cheat, it's a cheat, it's actually a cheat! You little devils, you're dead!" Wang Han trembled with excitement as he read the explanation.
Suddenly, Wang Han, in his excitement, noticed something was still changing. He quickly looked over and saw that although the download progress bar had turned to zero percent, it was still showing that it was downloading, and the message about the three-day, thousand-fold accelerated download had not disappeared. Moreover, the download bar quickly turned to one percent.
"Uh... still downloading. It seems I have more than one cheat code. My cheat ability seems to be quite powerful." Wang Han stared blankly at the progress bar, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly.
"You brat, how dare you slack off!" A traitor nearby noticed Wang Han staring blankly with his eyes closed and cursed loudly. At the same time, the leather whip in his hand immediately lashed out at Wang Han.
With a sharp crack, a bright red welt appeared on Wang Han's back.
"Ah..." Caught off guard, Wang Han cried out as he was struck by the whip. He then gritted his teeth, fell silent, and glared at the traitor who had struck him.
"Hey, you little brat, you've got some nerve. I'll see how long you can keep up this tough act." Seeing this, the traitor raised his whip again, ready to strike.
"Wait, wait, he's just too tired. Let's get to work right away, let's get to work right away." Wang Dachui, who noticed the situation and rushed over, quickly came in front of Wang Han and blocked him with his body.
"I can't be impulsive. I just got the cheat, and Big Hammer and the others are here. I can't drag them down with me." Looking at Wang Dachui standing in front of him, Wang Han tried his best to suppress his impulse.
"Alright, since he wants to rest, let this kid go down to the forest this afternoon. If he survives, he can rest." A Japanese soldier in charge of supervising the work said, stopping the traitor's actions.
"What, the forest farm?" Wang Dachui's face turned pale when he heard the Japanese soldier's words, and he immediately wanted to speak.
“Brother Big Hammer, thank you. I will live.” Wang Han stopped Wang Dachui, who was about to speak, and said, “If you continue to speak, you will only offend them and drag you down to the forest farm as well. We might even be executed right now.”
