Chapter 21 Tempering 1
The "training debt" owed due to rest must be made up.
The whole day today was basic physical training, a total of 10 kilometers of weighted running plus 10 kilometers of steady-speed running. When everyone was almost finished, they dispersed to the cafeteria to eat.
Xu Lingqu is still running.
She still had 5 kilometers of weighted running and 8 kilometers of steady-pace running to do, so she decided to finish the 8 kilometers of steady-pace running first.
Xu Xizhen packed a box of food for her from the cafeteria, but Xu Lingqu didn't even have the strength to chew it. Fortunately, Tang Muwen appeared at this time with a nutritional supplement, and helped her drink it. After a few minutes of rest, she continued.
"Very considerate." Xu Xizhen muttered softly.
"Miss Xu, I'm here to help you now. You can go back and rest and wash up first." Tang Muwen said softly, "If she needs anything, I can help her first. When you are free, come back and I can leave."
Xu Xizhen had come straight here after finishing training, having gotten her food from the cafeteria. She hadn't had time to eat or wash up yet, and there might be an emergency meeting that evening. Tang Muwen seemed reliable, so she accepted the offer and left.
Tang Muwen watched Xu Xizhen leave, then turned to look at Xu Lingqu on the track, who was walking slowly but never stopping.
Her accumulated kilometers on the intelligent computer kept increasing, very slowly, but never stopped.
She just kept running, the wind blowing across her face, sweat soaking almost her entire body, and she looked even more miserable than after the rescue in the early morning.
The students finished their meals one after another, and many of them came to watch Xu Lingqu who was running. Some of them mocked her openly, while others talked about her in a low voice.
Although commanders and analysts have been left with a general stereotype of being fragile, but in this training ground, at least they are enrolled in the six major military academies, and fragile is relative to the group of non-humans in the combat direction. At least the basic physical fitness has been trained and has a certain foundation.
This level of physical training would put them on the same level as those in the combat direction, but they couldn't do it, but they could still complete it on time. Fighting was their real weakness.
However, Xu Lingqu's basic physical fitness seemed too poor, yet he could fight in seven different directions by himself. This was completely against the will of heaven and violated common sense.
"Did you really not give in to her back then?" A friend who attended the same military academy as Wang Qihu in the Second Star System asked curiously, "How did she let you go so easily? Did she give you money?"
"Get out of here, your dad will never play a match-fixing game in my lifetime." Seeing that it was almost dark, Xu Lingqu was still working hard like a little snail. Wang Qihu was really puzzled. Suddenly, he couldn't figure out how he lost to her. He estimated that he would have to keep muttering this question in his mind for the next month and a half.
It was not until around 10 o'clock in the evening that Xu Lingqu finally completed today's training task. Tang Muwen and Xu Xizhen came forward together to support her and helped her walk slowly to help her recover.
Xu Lingqu now looks like a ghost, neither human nor ghost, which is very scary.
The night lights in the training ground were not on at night, but the red hair was still so eye-catching in the darkness. Jin and Shen Shouli, who had a sour face beside him, came in at some point. The two of them did not speak until Xu Lingqu and the other two came up to them before they spoke.
"Commander Xu, you're almost dead." After just two exchanges, Jin had already witnessed how irritating Xu Lingqu's words were. Taking advantage of the fact that she was too tired to speak, he quickly argued with her every word to win her over.
Xu Lingqu really couldn't speak, but she gestured with her shoulders as Jin did.
Jin looked in the direction she was gesturing and spotted a large flying insect on his shoulder.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” He screamed and jumped up. The insect was frightened and rushed towards Shen Shouli, who froze completely.
In the end, it was Xu Xizhen who helped get rid of the bug. As he did so, he complained, "What the hell are you doing here? There were so many bugs in the woods yesterday, and you didn't seem scared!"
Jin said confidently: "Even though there are many of them, they didn't climb onto my shoulders, and this one is obviously huge and scary!"
"Coward." Xu Xizhen began to poke Jin's lungs simply and bluntly.
"You're the coward!" Jin remembered the important matter. "Shen Shouli and I came here to make a bet. We bet on whether the instructor would call for an emergency meeting tonight and then we came here to wait. To our surprise, the instructor didn't arrive and our commander was still here."
"Give me money." Shen Shouli stretched out his hand. Obviously, he was the winner.
"I don't have any money right now. Let's talk about it when we get back... Hey, you're not short of money, why would you ask me for this little money?" Jin lost unwillingly. "Besides, it was your suggestion to come here and wait, okay?"
Xu Lingqu withdrew her arm that was supported by Tang Muwen. She had recovered a little now, at least she could walk on her own. At this time, she had to hurry back to wash up.
Tang Muwen nodded, politely said goodbye and went back to the other side of the boys' dormitory. For some unknown reason, Jin and Xu Xizhen wanted to compete with each other again. They stayed up late at night and did pull-ups.
Xu Lingqu walked towards the girls' dormitory and found that there was a person behind him who was like a ghost. He took one step for every step he took.
"Student Shen, is there anything wrong?" She looked back at people a little helplessly.
Shen Shouli had a fresh scent of gardenia on him. He probably took a shower after training. The wind blew his fluffy and smooth hair in the night sky, occasionally covering his light brown pupils.
He looked a little weird.
"I know you said that on purpose. You didn't want me to fall behind with you." He muttered, but the distance was too close, so Xu Lingqu heard every word.
No, actually, I think you're too much of a nuisance. She thought to herself, but said nothing. She adhered to the principle of provoking him once and forgetting about it. If she provoked him too much, he might get angry, which would cause more trouble.
Shen Shouli took something out of his pocket and handed it to Xu Lingqu.
Xu Lingqu thought it was something important, so he took it in his hand and looked down, and found it was a nutrient supplement. He didn't know why he gave himself the nutrient supplement at this time. He looked up to ask, but the person had already walked away.
What's wrong with Shen Shouli?
Xu Lingqu was very puzzled. This question flashed through her mind quickly, but was quickly thrown aside. Now, it was more important for her to wash up, rest, and think about whether the Xilek Condensate in the infirmary could cure her muscle pain.
Things like decoding a young boy's thoughts should be put at the back of the list.
Xu Lingqu returned to the dormitory with her tired body. Lin Xiao and Liu Zheng were not at home. She went into the bathroom to wash up. Although her body was clean, the muscle soreness from excessive exercise was too torturous.
After drying her hair, Xu Lingqu headed towards the infirmary. This time, Dr. Li only glanced up at her and then immediately looked away: "Do you think this place is your home?"
"Yeah." Xu Lingqu said as a matter of course.
