2: Chapter 2 Everyone thought Yang Han had gone mad

A group of new recruits stood on the training ground, each looking rather slovenly.

Lao Hei stood on the high platform, looking down at this group of recruits.

Gong Jian looked at the recruits and asked, "What did you come here to be a soldier for?"

The new recruits were a bit bewildered, but several bold ones still spoke up.

"To protect the country!"

"To improve my Physical Fitness and fight the devils!"

"My mother said that it's easier to find a job after being a soldier..."

A group of new recruits spoke up like this.

Gong Jian said expressionlessly, "Good, very good... everyone has such grand ambitions!"

"Protecting the country, fighting devils, making money after discharge..." Lao Hei shook his head and laughed; these reasons were truly bizarre.

He looked amused. It was customary for new recruits to be trained particularly hard on their first day.

Gong Jian looked at the crowd and threw out another critical question.

"If you were on the battlefield, would you help me block that fatal bullet?"

The new recruits looked at each other. What did this mean?

They had just enlisted and didn't yet have the concept of comrades.

Some recruits muttered to themselves, "Block what bullet? Staying alive is the most important thing."

Seeing no one speak, Gong Jian sighed slightly.

Just then, a loud voice said, "I will!"

Gong Jian looked closely and realized it was Yang Han. He was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected this rich kid to have such poor training, but his character seemed decent.

"Likewise, I will also block bullets for you!"

Gong Jian's expression was solemn.

Next, Gong Jian began to issue orders.

"At ease!"

"Attention!"

"Left face!"

"Right face!"

"Squat, stand up!"

Clatter...

Gong Jian's orders rang out. The group of new recruits was in a chaotic scramble, and the rustling sounds were jarring. Gong Jian tutted twice.

At this moment, Gong Jian's expression suddenly turned fierce, "Look at yourselves! At ease, attention, squatting, standing, turning—you can't even do these basic movements well... And you want to protect the country? Fight devils?"

"If you go to the battlefield like this, ten of you combined couldn't beat one devil."

"Going to the battlefield is just suicide; there is no way to survive."

"You can't even do 'at ease' and 'attention' right. Didn't your elementary school PE teacher teach you?"

"Are you deaf? Listen to this sound—it's simply noise, an insult to the ears."

"Since you can't even stand properly, get ready for a 3,000-meter run!"

"Everyone, 3,000 meters! Get ready!"

Gong Jian scolded them.

They were all frightened by the suddenly fierce Gong Jian; his speech was really startling.

The new recruits were bewildered. This was too bullying; making them run 3,000 meters just after waking up—sigh.

He Chenguang also shook his head helplessly. He knew this was the situation in the army; the three months of the New Recruit Company were all about various trials, mainly to smooth out their tempers.

He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, Li Erniu, and the others all got ready. They had to run this 3,000 meters whether they wanted to or not.

Gong Jian looked somewhat satisfied. The first step in training new recruits was obedience.

Moreover, the discipline of these new recruits was truly poor; they looked more useless than the next.

However, at this moment.

When everyone on the training ground started moving, one figure stood still as a mountain.

At this moment, Gong Jian's face instantly dropped.

"That soldier, why aren't you moving!" Gong Jian shouted.

Yang Han still didn't move, his body standing very straight.

Gong Jian's face became very gloomy!

His voice was loud; it was impossible that he didn't hear. The only explanation was that this kid heard but deliberately disobeyed the order.

Gong Jian was full of murderous intent. Very good, disobeying orders, huh? Only been here a few days and already this arrogant?

Lao Hei on the high platform also looked surprised. He looked closely—wasn't that the rich kid?

"What is this rich kid doing? Just arrived here and already wants to be a troublemaker? He's practically courting death."

Lao Hei laughed.

He and Gong Jian had been partners for two years, so he naturally knew Gong Jian's methods. To deal with this kind of person, Gong Jian had a hundred ways to make him miserable!

It wasn't just Gong Jian and Lao Hei who saw; even the recruits beside Yang Han were somewhat shocked.

"Buddy, what are you doing? Run!"

"Yeah, the squad leader has already given the order, why aren't you moving?"

Li Erniu whispered a piece of advice from the side.

He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing also looked over. He Chenguang frowned slightly; he just thought Yang Han was an idiot. How could being a troublemaker end well? He would definitely be targeted and have a miserable time for these three months.

"Trying to act cool, huh... He will regret it." He Chenguang glanced over, watching the scene with interest.

Yang Han turned a deaf ear to this; he was also a bit nervous now.

After all, it was his first time showing off.

Being watched by so many people, he was somewhat anxious.

But for the emotion points and his own path to becoming an invincible Soldier King, he had to go all out!

When the system notification sounds came one after another in his ears, Yang Han instantly stopped being nervous.

"You provoked others' emotions, emotion points + 10."

"emotion points + 10"

...

The sounds of emotion point increases rang out continuously, and Yang Han's confidence grew stronger and stronger!

At this moment, Gong Jian had already walked up in front of Yang Han.

Many new recruits looked at Yang Han with sympathy. He was done for. Gong Jian's eyes were like lamps in the night, terrifyingly sharp. Just his gaze was enough to make people feel fearful, and with Gong Jian himself being tall and sturdy, he clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with.

When facing this kind of squad leader, the recruits often felt deep respect.

"You, why aren't you running? If you don't have a suitable reason, I guarantee you will regret it!"

Gong Jian shouted suddenly.

Many people were watching him. Yang Han took a deep breath, his gaze calm, looking straight into Gong Jian's murderous glare, and said, "Report Instructor, I just woke up, my legs are very sore, and I don't want to run right now!"

With one sentence, the field fell silent, everyone stunned.

Many new recruits were bewildered. This guy is this tough?

You, a frail-looking new recruit, are clashing with this sturdy and majestic Instructor?!

Are you tired of living?

Even Gong Jian himself was taken aback for a moment.

"emotion points + 10!"

"emotion points + 10!"

...

emotion points kept increasing in his ears.

Yang Han was overjoyed in his heart.

Taking advantage of the gap while Gong Jian was too shocked to speak, Yang Han added, "I am not disobeying your order, it's just that my legs are too sore to run!"

Once these words came out, everyone was even more stunned.

This was simply arrogant to the extreme.

In front of a group of new recruits, provoking the Instructor of the New Recruit Company!

This new recruit really has something.

"This guy is completely crazy!"

"Damn, I've seen tough guys, but I've never seen one this tough in the army. This brother is the first."

He Chenguang whispered, "Wait to be played to death..."

"Do you know what you are saying?" Gong Jian stared at Yang Han, saying word by word.

emotion points + 10

emotion points + 100...

Yang Han was ecstatic. This sudden increase of 100 points meant that the more arrogant his words were, the better.

His lips curled into a smile unconsciously.

In Gong Jian's eyes, this was an even greater provocation!

"Report Instructor, I know what I am saying. Do you need me to repeat it?!" Yang Han said, looking at Gong Jian.

Gong Jian was speechless, but suddenly sneered.

He suddenly found it interesting!

Because in all his years of leading troops, it had been a long time since he met something so brainless!

It seems this rich kid likes to show off, huh? Trying to show himself off in front of so many people?

Very good. Since you like to show off, then come on!

Gong Jian nodded slightly, a strange smile appearing on his face. This smile seemed a bit wrong to everyone, as if something bad was about to happen.

He walked to the crowd and scanned them casually, "Let me introduce myself again."

"My name is Gong Jian!"

"Don't think that just because I am the Instructor, I am easy to provoke..."

Gong Jian sneered, "Since you don't want to run, that's fine. Then 500 sit-ups, start!"

"One person makes a mistake, the whole team gets punished!"

After this sentence fell, many people's eyes widened.

Are you kidding me?

500 sit-ups right at the start?!

They were all new recruits. Even if some had previous physical training, they couldn't do 500 sit-ups.

This Gong Jian making them do 500 was practically a rhythm to play them to death.

"It seems you are not satisfied with the number 500?"

"Now it's changed to 800!"

Gong Jian announced expressionlessly, like a cold judge. Many new recruits were bewildered!

This Gong Jian is really dark; starting with 800 sit-ups—isn't this killing them?

He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing, and others frowned. It was all because of this Yang Han that they were punished with 800 sit-ups!

He Chenguang muttered to himself, "Just looking at his physique, he's a slacker. Forget 800, he probably can't even do 80!"

In his heart, he had already labeled Yang Han as someone who only knew how to show off and had no ability.

But it was true; at least from his appearance, Yang Han really didn't look like someone who worked out!

Quite a few people also gave Yang Han annoyed looks.

But at this moment, Yang Han didn't pay any attention to this.

He checked his attribute panel, took one look, and his eyes immediately lit up; he was completely excited.

emotion points had reached a full 450 points!

Then, he looked in Gong Jian's direction, and a smile also appeared on his face.

Since Gong Jian wanted to test their stamina, let's boost the stamina first.
