Chapter 19 Formal Training
There was nothing to pack in the dormitory, so after saying goodbye to his two roommates, Xu Lingqu left the dormitory building.
Xu Xizhen and Jin Qiang were in a fight. When Xu Lingqu found them in the huge training ground, the two of them started competing in pull-ups.
"Aren't you tired? You still have training soon." Xu Lingqu found it hard to understand these two people. Their hair, one golden and one red, was shining. Could it be that the special hair color had some kind of bonus to physical strength?
"It's okay! I'm going to compete with him today and let him know what strength is!" Xu Xizhen said as he did it.
"You? Do you think I will lose to you?" Jin was not willing to be outdone.
The two started arguing while doing this.
Xu Lingqu sat down on the spot and watched the two people bickering as if they were watching a crosstalk.
The wind blew across the lawn on the ground. Watching the grass dancing slightly in the wind, Xu Lingqu felt a little dazed again, as if he had returned to his college days before the end of the world.
"Classmate Xu." A soft call interrupted Xu Lingqu's scattered thoughts. She raised her head and saw Tang Muwen. He was standing beside her with a box in his hand.
She had looked at the real-time updated rankings. Tang Muwen had also successfully added points to his score for this rescue operation, currently standing at 10 points. His ranking was considered high, and among the analysts who were not currently in a dominant position, he was considered to be among the best.
He opened the box and found that it contained food packed from the cafeteria, and the bottom layer was filled with nutritional supplements for military agents.
"You probably haven't eaten yet." Tang Muwen handed the box to Xu Lingqu with his eyes downcast. "I went to get it because I heard you came out of the infirmary."
Xu Lingqu still reached out and took it: "Can you still hear whether I've been in or out of the infirmary?"
Many people are now staring at Xu Lingqu. Some admire him, especially the students majoring in command. They are now claiming that Xu Lingqu is the pride of the command department of Moye Military Academy.
Some were irritated with her, watching her secure first place in points, and were eager to take advantage. Sun Liao was the most enthusiastic among them. Others liked to use him as a target. After all, Sun Liao had fallen asleep and been washed away, and his points were dismal. Most people believed that he would eventually be eliminated, so they decided to use him as a weapon to attack Xu Lingqu.
Not to mention, the steamed buns from Moye School were quite delicious. Xu Lingqu took a bite and they tasted almost the same as those made by the chef specially hired by Xu Mansion. They didn't have the feeling of being pre-made by machines that was common in interstellar food.
Seeing her eat, Tang Muwen breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down next to her: "I thought you would refuse me."
Xu Lingqu chewed his steamed bun and asked, "Why?"
"Before, I thought you disliked some of my actions." Tang Muwen explained, "There may be some misunderstandings between us."
The steamed buns were solved, and Xu Lingqu stood up and clapped his hands: "There are still some now."
Eating food given by others is a tacit and potential signal of reconciliation between humans, but Xu Lingqu doesn't think so. She just happened to be hungry, and someone handed it to her mouth. In a completely safe situation, she would eat it if she didn't.
Even if Tang Muwen poisoned the place, it was only a minute's walk from here to the infirmary.
"What?" Tang Muwen stood up, his eyes full of confusion.
"I'm not as strong as you think. I can't guarantee that I can get you through the tryout period without getting eliminated." Xu Lingqu said bluntly, "Pandering to me will be a waste of energy and serve no purpose."
A pop-up window popped up on the intelligent computer, and the formal training began. Everyone gathered towards the gathering place. Before the winner between Xu Xizhen and Jin was decided, Xu Lingqu pulled him away quickly, like a master pulling a puppy home.
Instructor Kaian did not show up, so Instructor Chen took charge of the situation. The river raid training was actually a case of execution without prior approval from a procedural point of view. Kaian was captured and brought back to the school to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.
Instructor Chen still had a smile on his face, but no one could feel the spring breeze from it anymore.
Everyone just thought that this smile was sinister, and they didn't know what evil was hidden behind it, just like that day when he smiled and told everyone to have a good sleep.
"Everyone is very energetic after the rest." Instructor Chen looked at everyone who had arrived. Having learned from the lesson of pulling people out during the first assembly, this time the assembly was very fast and no one dared to drag their feet. He nodded with satisfaction and asked other instructors to bring up the training equipment that would be used today.
Hundreds of common weights were brought up, and the students carried them on their backs, weighing about 20 kilograms. Instructor Chen said, "The 5-kilometer weighted run begins now."
The cadets in the combat field were very familiar with this, so they immediately put the bags on their backs and started running. The students in the non-combat field complained bitterly, but they had no choice but to put the bags on their backs and run with them.
Xu Lingqu was afraid of this.
It was already difficult enough for this body to bear the weight, and now it had to run with the weight. This was only the first training program of the day. Xu Lingqu had a hunch that he might have to go to the infirmary again today.
Each person's backpack contained a sensor that recorded the mileage and synchronized it with the intelligent computer in real time. The battle between Jin and Xu Xizhen for first and second place was still going on. In order to determine who was the better of them, the two ran very fast, leaving the main group far behind.
The person leading the group is Liu Zheng.
Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, which swayed in the air. She led the crowd and looked heroic.
Xu Lingqu followed the main group at a leisurely pace, basically at the tail end. She tried her best to adjust her breathing, saving energy whenever possible, and chose the person in front of her with a slower pace as her reference point. She felt thankful that she could finish the race.
Just as she was running, a familiar face suddenly appeared beside her. Shen Shouli was running at almost the same level as her. Xu Lingqu turned her head to look at him, and he looked back silently.
"What's wrong?"
"Am I trapped now?" Xu Lingqu calmly analyzed the problem.
“No.” Shen Shouli frowned, “Running too fast will make you sweat too much. I’ve taken three showers today and don’t want to take any more.”
If he washed it again, his skin would probably be rubbed off. Xu Lingqu found it a little funny that this person's mysophobia could be so serious.
Xu Lingqu's footsteps became heavier and heavier, and the gap between her and the person in front of her gradually widened. Correspondingly, she noticed that Shen Shouli's speed beside her also slowed down.
“You…” Xu Lingqu turned his head and looked at Shen Shouli again.
Shen Shouli pursed his lips slightly nervously.
"Are you so afraid of sweating?" Xu Lingqu couldn't believe that this person could actually do this just because he was afraid of sweating. The last time he saw something so exaggerated was the Princess and the Pea.
“…” Shen Shouli stopped talking, but Xu Lingqu could feel the little anger coming out of him.
"Being afraid of sweating is not just an excuse you make for yourself, are you just weak like me?" Xu Lingqu said this deliberately to add fuel to the fire of anger.
If emotions could be visualized, Shen Shouli's anger at this moment would rise from the size of a lit match to fireworks exploding in the sky.
