48: Chapter 48

The morning break was heaven for others, but for Lin Fan, it was hell.

He paced back and forth in the dormitory, bored out of his mind.

His chubby roommate and the others had long since run off to have fun somewhere.

Only Lin Fan remained, like a lonely ghost, feeling miserable all over.

"This won't do. I can't keep going on like this."

"If I don't get beaten up soon, I feel like my Indestructible Divine Body is going to rust."

He sat on the edge of the bed and began to seriously consider a grave problem.

How could he get Instructor Lei Zhan and that group of instructors to willingly, or even impatiently, train him?

Furthermore, it had to be the kind of training that beat him to death.

Afternoon. The training ground gathered once again.

All the freshmen's faces were beaming with relaxed smiles.

The morning break had made them less fearful of the afternoon training.

However, they were still too naive.

Instructor Lei Zhan stood on the assembly platform, his expression ten times more serious than in the morning.

"You were very happy this morning." His voice was icy, and a single sentence made the training ground silent again.

"But I want you to remember one thing."

"What I praised was the potential you displayed, not your behavior itself!"

"And now, I want to add a prerequisite!" Instructor Lei Zhan's voice rose sharply.

"The afternoon training intensity will be doubled!"

"Furthermore, if there is another student who acts like a troublemaker for personal reasons and disrupts the training order!"

"Then, all of you will pay for his actions together!"

"Do you understand!"

"Ah..." The atmosphere, which had been relaxed and joyful just moments ago, instantly plummeted to the bottom. Everyone's smiles froze on their faces.

They weren't stupid; naturally, they understood what Instructor Lei Zhan meant. A certain student? Who else could it be!

Swish! Thousands of gazes, like searchlights, focused in unison on the back row of the formation. On that guy who was scratching his ear with an indifferent expression.

Those eyes were filled with resentment, warning, and a trace of... pleading.

"Big brother! Ancestor! I beg you! Can you stop causing trouble! We just want to finish military training peacefully!"

Being stared at by thousands of people, Lin Fan was not the least bit uncomfortable. Instead, he grinned at everyone, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth.

In the girls' queue, Xia Wanqiu was so ashamed she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She covered her face with both hands. She felt she had never been this embarrassed in her entire life.

Ever since she got close to Lin Fan, she felt her sense of shame was gradually being extinguished. Because she was on the road to feeling embarrassed for Lin Fan every single day!

And Murong Yan, who was beside her, watched this scene with great interest. The smirk on the corner of her mouth, enjoying the spectacle, never faded.

"It's over, it's over..." A lackey beside Lei Hu said in a crying voice, "Look at Lin Fan's expression, he's definitely going to pull something today!"

Lei Hu's face turned green. He regretted it now. He shouldn't have taken the lead in organizing that sensory deprivation thing. Now it was great; he had completely activated this plague god.

Just then, an unexpected scene unfolded. A boy who looked gentle and wore glasses suddenly rushed out of the formation. He trotted all the way to Lin Fan. Then, with a thud, he knelt on both knees, firmly kneeling in front of Lin Fan.

"Big Brother Lin Fan! Ancestor Lin Fan!" The bespectacled boy hugged Lin Fan's thigh, crying and wailing with snot and tears.

"I beg you! Please act like a human being!" "We have elderly parents and young children to support; we want to go home after military training! Just behave for two days, okay? I'm begging you!"

This kneeling completely stunned everyone. Lin Fan also looked down at the bespectacled boy who was hugging his thigh and crying his heart out, dumbfounded.

"No, brother, what are you doing?" "Begging me?" Lin Fan grinned, a smile that looked more terrifying than a devil's to the bespectacled boy. "You have to wait in line to beg!"

Lin Fan patted the boy's shoulder and said earnestly, "Young man, you must remember, life lies in tossing and turning! If you don't toss and turn, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"

After speaking, his gaze crossed the crowd and cast once again toward Instructor Lei Zhan on the assembly platform. That look was filled with naked provocation and desire.

Instructor Lei Zhan felt his scalp tingle from being stared at. This kid is sick! He definitely has a mental illness! And he's not mildly sick! He felt he wasn't leading troops, but rather playing a battle of wits with a mental patient.

Instructor Lei Zhan took a deep breath, forced himself to look away, and announced loudly: "Attention everyone! Twenty-kilometer armed cross-country! Target, Highland No. 3 ahead! The last team to arrive gets no dinner!" "Move out!"

Following his order, thousands of freshmen wailed, shouldered their heavy packs, and began a hellish afternoon.

Lin Fan blended into the crowd, running with such ease and comfort. While running, he was still calculating in his heart.

"Collective training is too inefficient." "I must think of a way to make Instructor Lei Zhan give me special treatment!" "One-on-one, VIP-level customized beatings! That's what you call enjoyment!"

His brain had already begun to frantically conceive a hundred ways to provoke Instructor Lei Zhan. For example, going to tuck him in again in the middle of the night? No, that trick had been used; it lacked novelty.

For example, rushing onto the stage and grabbing the microphone to sing while he was speaking? That was interesting, but not great. It was too disrespectful to the instructor; how would that make me any different from a beast?

Lin Fan's eyes began to scan Instructor Lei Zhan, as if looking for some flaw. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He saw a metal flask hanging at Instructor Lei Zhan's waist that looked very old but was polished until it gleamed. Judging by the action of Instructor Lei Zhan picking it up to touch it from time to time, this thing must be very important to him!

"Hehehe..." A smile appeared on Lin Fan's face, the kind that would give Li Hao nightmares. The plan was set!
