53: Chapter 53 Military Training Dispute

Zhao Yang and Wang Ming spent some time catching up.

Everything was quite new at the vocational college where Wang Ming was located, and the living conditions were decent; he had settled in now.

As for the situation with the shop, everything had been mostly arranged.

"Mm, it's good that everything is normal! Once military training is over, let's find a time to get together."

After chatting with Wang Ming for a bit, Zhao Yang hung up the phone.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Zhao Shiyu, whom he had met on the train.

What about this girl?

He wondered if she would repeat the path she took in her previous life in this lifetime.

Without him as a butterfly, Zhao Shiyu should still be able to successfully walk that path to greatness from her previous life!

Shaking his head, he set these thoughts aside for now.

Zhao Yang's gaze turned to the student card on his desk.

This thing was roughly equivalent to an all-in-one card.

It contained his identity, and similarly, money could be loaded onto it to be used as a meal card in the school cafeteria.

It could also be used as a library card.

It had many uses.

Zhao Yang was quite satisfied with this; otherwise, keeping track of many cards would make it too easy to lose them.

He put the card away.

Zhao Yang continued reading his book.

"Ding! Gained Mathematics Experience +1!"

"Ding! Gained Mathematics Experience +1!"

Zhao Yang studied until midnight as usual.

Once it hit 12 o'clock, Zhao Yang went to bed right on time!

The next day during military training.

By eight in the morning, the sun was already hanging high in the sky.

Zhao Yang and his class were waiting in a relatively shaded area.

The entire playground was filled with students from various colleges; there were many people, and it was bustling.

"Brother Yang, what do you think we'll be doing for military training?"

Li Tianqi and Wang Mian didn't know much about military training; in fact, the vast majority of students on the playground didn't understand it either.

Most people had somewhat unrealistic filters and ideas about military training.

Many were looking forward to military training with great enthusiasm.

Including Li Tianqi and Wang Mian.

"Standing at attention."

Zhao Yang said succinctly.

"What else besides standing at attention?"

Li Tianqi continued to ask.

"Marching in goose-steps."

Zhao Yang said calmly.

"And what else??"

"That's it."

"That's it???"

Li Tianqi and Wang Mian were both stunned; including Sun Xu nearby, the three of them all looked toward Zhao Yang at the same time.

"Yeah, that's it."

Zhao Yang shrugged.

"Don't tell me we won't get to touch guns during military training??"

Wang Mian got a bit anxious, looking at Zhao Yang.

"Yeah! Shouldn't there be things like crawling on the ground and then the horizontal bars? Are there really none??"

Li Tianqi beside him was also a bit frantic.

"Where did you guys hear all this??"

Zhao Yang looked at the two of them with a strange expression.

"TV! I've seen special forces on TV, and army training..."

Li Tianqi said hurriedly.

Zhao Yang smiled.

True, although the internet existed these days, due to connection speeds, video and other media weren't developed enough yet, and phones didn't have cameras.

Zhao Yang could understand why ordinary students had unrealistic ideas about university military training.

"Don't worry, everything you're thinking of—none of it exists."

Zhao Yang smiled slightly, looking at the two in front of him.

"But..."

Li Tianqi was very confused and wanted to keep questioning.

Just then, Li Yan walked over with two instructors dressed in military uniforms.

"Girls' side, follow Instructor Song Hao. This is Instructor Song Hao. You will be in a class with the girls from Class 3 and Food Science and Engineering, totaling thirty-eight girls."

"Boys' side, follow Instructor Wang Xi. This is Instructor Wang Xi..."

After finishing the introductions.

"The next fourteen days will be military training. I will come to the playground every day. If you have any problems, you can ask me or the instructors at any time."

After saying that, Li Yan glanced at Zhao Yang beside her before speaking to Instructor Song Hao and Instructor Wang Xi.

"Instructors, I'll leave things here to you."

"Alright."

The two instructors nodded.

Quickly, the students in the class began to divide into two lines, male and female.

The boys from class 1 of biological sciences were assigned to Company 3, Platoon 7.

The Counselors of each class stood under the shade of the trees, watching the freshmen's military training.

Zhao Yang didn't feel much about military training; he had already experienced it once in his previous life.

Now, he was just experiencing it once more.

The only thing that made Zhao Yang a bit dissatisfied was that neither the goose-stepping nor the standing at attention counted as medium-to-high intensity system tasks.

Fortunately, this kind of exercise could barely be considered physical training, and Zhao Yang could see his physique progress bar rising.

If this continued for over ten days, combined with his daily 12-kilometer run, he might soon reach 9 or even 10 physique points.

By then, his physical state could be said to have completely escaped sub-health and become healthy!

The healthy physical state of an 18-year-old youth!

One could say this basic buff was fully stacked.

Li Yan didn't watch from the shade for too long, nor did the Counselors of the other classes.

It couldn't be helped; university military training was simply too boring.

It was nothing more than standing at attention or teaching how to goose-step.

Under the scorching sun, everyone was sweating. Aside from physical exhaustion, there was only boredom left.

Zhao Yang didn't feel much; he could stick to over an hour of medium-to-high intensity exercise every day, so this was child's play to him.

But Li Tianqi and Wang Mian beside him were already complaining bitterly after just one day.

In just two days, all the beautiful fantasies they had about military training were shattered to pieces.

"Damn! Tianqi, didn't you tell me before that military training was cool! You even said we'd get to touch guns! Where are the guns!"

"How the hell should I know! I saw in the news before that some school got to touch guns! It's just that there were no real bullets!"

"I've realized you're a damn liar!"

"? I haven't even started on you yet! You said before that military training would definitely be exciting! Damn! You call standing at attention exciting?"

...

Zhao Yang enjoyed watching these two jokers bicker occasionally; it made him feel like he was young again.

This feeling was very nice.

"Brother Yang! This is bad! A fight broke out up ahead!"

Just as Zhao Yang and his two roommates were slowly walking toward the rest area, Sun Xu ran toward Zhao Yang, somewhat out of breath.

Zhao Yang's brow furrowed slightly. He looked up and indeed saw that many people were gathered around the shaded rest area, and the instructor wasn't there.

"What happened?"

Zhao Yang asked Sun Xu calmly.

"The students from our Platoon 7 and the students from Platoon 5 got into a fight. It seems to be over snatching the rest area. It started as just an argument, but they started throwing hands as they kept cursing!"

"Let's go, we'll go take a look!"

Zhao Yang said immediately, making a prompt decision.

Li Tianqi and Wang Mian, who were bickering nearby, glanced at each other and followed behind Zhao Yang along with Sun Xu, immediately rushing toward the rest area.
