Chapter Five Hundred Ninety-Nine: Wilderness Survival
There was still one chapter before this, two chapters released in succession.
"By the way, when I think of the Art Academy, I remember that next month Dream Butterfly will hold a concert specifically to encourage our community. Are you interested? I can help you get tickets." It was undeniable that Fang Jinke, being wealthy and generous, casually offered to get tickets for a few people.
Given the popularity of Dream Butterfly, although the ticket prices were not set too high, ordinary people often had to buy tickets from scalpers, with even regular tickets costing several hundred.
For students, it was already quite generous of Fang Jinke to offer this to his dorm mates.
His words also shifted Yang Xiaoyou's attention away from that Cup Doll. That kind of fellow was certainly not worth worrying about. As for the girl named Menglu, if Feng Lin was around, any trouble he caused would likely end up being more disastrous than the trouble itself.
Now they were entering a phase of preparation to suppress the accumulated malice from Myanmar and India. Even if trouble came their way, it would likely be something similar to the last time—a light punishment. But if it fell on Feng Lin...
They would have to prepare for the aftermath.
Hearing Fang Jinke's words at that moment, Yang Xiaoyou immediately shook her head and said, "I might have something going on, so there's no need to prepare for me."
It was a joke; she was actually planning to use that opportunity to confront Dream Butterfly directly or find a way to draw out her inner persona.
That incident seemed not to have caused much panic or turmoil globally; it appeared confined to India. Yet Yang Xiaoyou felt a heavy weight in her heart.
Especially after receiving help from a certain girl who liked playing with equipment, it seemed she had truly captured something significant.
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person would definitely be misled and avoid trying to capture that nemesis with whom they had been entangled for two lifetimes.
However, that time, because the girl primarily wanted to take candid shots, she inadvertently captured something extraordinary.
Clearly, according to the contact information, she was in Singapore, yet she inexplicably appeared on the school campus.
Did this mean that she usually had the ability to create the illusion of being simultaneously present in India and beside Sister Wu You? Perhaps by tapping into her mental powers.
Yang Xiaoyou wasn't particularly intelligent, but as long as he had sufficient conditions, he could analyze things at an astonishing speed!
“Tsk, I almost forgot. You really do know those two enchanting beauties. Although Dream Butterfly is a hot idol, just watching them from afar seems enough for you. Tsk tsk, even if you can't get close to them, perhaps just admiring them is a blessing in itself. With that kind of influence, you might become quite picky,” Fang Jinke said with a hint of envy and jealousy upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's refusal.
Such a fool was completely wasting resources. If he had gotten to know those two beauties earlier, there would have been a real chance for deeper interactions.
As for now, he was self-aware enough to know that trying to pursue someone directly and expecting mutual feelings was pure nonsense. If he wanted to use unconventional means, facing such celestial beauties, he truly lacked the capital.
Moreover, if such high-caliber beauties decided to retaliate against someone, the power they could muster would be terrifying.
At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh; if only he weren't so outstanding. Now he could only watch from a distance and even dared not look too much for fear of stirring unwanted thoughts.
Then there was Zhao Xinglong. Cough cough, he was indeed a bit more talented than most and came from a good family. If he were looking for a normal relationship, there wouldn't be any problem. It was just unexpected that he would stumble in front of this foodie roommate.
Thinking about this made Fang Jinke feel a sense of schadenfreude. The more outstanding one was, the greater the chance of tripping up while trying to stand out. He had seen how much this foodie roommate could eat in the morning; it made his head spin. No wonder they had such great stamina.
Although Yang Xiaoyou didn't care much about what this guy thought and found Fang Jinke somewhat unappealing, he still found him more likable than Zhao Xinglong.
Especially for this kind of perceptive fellow, if given the chance to show off in front of him, he would definitely be more obedient than Sun Tzu, avoiding trouble and thus not too annoying.
"Alright, the break is over. As you all have seen, the three schools will now engage in mixed training. Additionally, you must complete the basic courses. We will now establish some rules: each formation will start receiving scores. The formation that performs the best will receive an extra fifteen minutes of rest compared to the lowest scoring one, and there will be additional food served. The worst off will only get steamed buns."
After a stern warning with a big stick, the Second began to incite internal competition, prompting all the students to start comparing themselves against one another.
Although Yang Xiaoyou was quite interested in the extra food, he realized that such matters couldn't be accomplished alone. It's not the formidable opponents that are frightening; it's teammates who are as useless as pigs. If teammates don't pull their weight, even the strongest individual can't make a difference.
Well, perhaps taking that instructor's position could yield some results.
He then began to secretly calculate whether this was truly worthwhile. Ultimately, considering the punishment of not having food yesterday, he decided against it; as long as he didn't come in last, that was good enough.
Yang Xiaoyou's knack for jinxing things was fully confirmed here. No matter how well he executed his movements, if the entire formation couldn't synchronize properly, his qualified actions might even detract from the overall 'aesthetic.'
In the end, he had no choice but to pull a long face and synchronize his movements with that group of fools beside him, becoming one of them.
With Huangpu Military Academy's cheating formation next to them, there was no doubt they were categorized into the lowest tier. Aside from having soy milk for breakfast, lunch and dinner consisted solely of pickled vegetables and steamed buns.
So,
Due to the poor quality of their meals, they compensated with quantity.
The daily feasting at the cafeteria became a fixed spectacle at specific times. Fang Jinke from beside them initially kept shifting positions to pretend he didn't know them.
But this guy does this at every meal, and once the matter of sharing a dorm couldn't be hidden anymore, all he could do was shed tears while using his slightly plump body to cover up. Damn it, having such a fellow beside me is just too embarrassing; this is just pickled vegetables and steamed buns, yet some people think it's some kind of delicacy.
"Haha, Wang Chong, you’re really getting worse! Just look at this kind of person you’re stuck with? Haha, being personally questioned by the vice dean and then getting lectured—this is killing me with laughter." At a nearby table laden with chicken, duck, fish, and meat—far more abundant than anyone else's—a man with a defiant expression looked quite arrogant as he patted Wang Chong on the shoulder, laughing heartily.
Wang Chong's face was extremely gloomy at that moment. He didn’t say a word, occasionally casting a cold glance at Yang Xiaoyou while also staring blankly at Qi Menglu, who was sitting a little further away with an infatuated look.
Perhaps because the boys from Menglu's group were quite impressive, their meals were relatively decent among the students at East China Jiaotong University.
At that moment, she was enjoying her meal happily but seemed to want to hide some food away as if preparing to take it with her. However, her clumsiness always led to failure.
"Hey, Wang Chong, I can see you like that girl. Actually, if you just agreed to what I said last time, beauty, wealth, and status would all be within your grasp. Haven't you already tasted the effects of the first phase? How was that feeling? It’s completely different from what you’ve known before. Now it's almost time for you to decide whether to proceed to the second phase; otherwise, after this best opportunity passes, you might lose it forever. I’m only considering bringing you in because I've watched you grow up in the courtyard; otherwise, your qualifications really don’t deserve it."
Seeing that Wang Chong ignored him completely, the somewhat defiant and arrogant man seemed a bit dissatisfied and urged him to make a decision.
"Shut up! That beautiful girl cannot be sullied by words like 'within reach'!" Wang Chong appeared somewhat irritable at this kind of urging and growled in a low voice, his face looking somewhat ferocious.
"I never would have guessed you were such a lovesick fool. Hey, but that’s how Wang Luoyan’s brother should be. As for your beautiful girl over there, I won’t interfere. How about I help deal with that idiot instead? You’ve already been marked; it might not be convenient for you to retaliate."
Surprisingly, the seemingly unruly and arrogant man didn’t get angry at these words but instead smiled and said nothing more.
At the same time, he cast a cold glance at a corner where someone was secretly taking pictures of Yang Xiaoyou and couldn’t help but touch his nose when he glanced at Yang Xiaoyou's head.
Indeed, several instructors had fulfilled their 'promise' by completely compressing standing postures and marching drills into all the students' bodies.
"Remember, cannon fodder, starting with the role-playing game is just to get you used to obeying orders. For the next week and a half, you will undergo various Wilderness Survival Training, and finally, you will be divided into groups for a week of field practice. After that, you'll be handed over to those Executioners from Hive Security Company. So, be mentally prepared; by then, you will have steamed buns to eat, which is quite a Mercy."
After completing the final inspection of the marching drill, one of the five senior instructors stepped forward to deliver this heavy news to the students.
However, most people seemed to have little understanding of what Wilderness Survival Training entailed and appeared somewhat confused.
Yang Xiaoyou felt a bit surprised at this moment. To be honest, for ordinary college students to undergo such intense training seemed a bit excessive.
Of course, if they truly mastered it, their chances of survival in large-scale disasters like Earthquakes or Mudslides would significantly increase.
It was just that this so-called Wilderness Survival Training would reach a certain level.
