Hernans’ words made Mu Yaoyao’s expression crack, recalling what she just said to Ackman...
Five laps?
Isn’t that going to kill her?
"Instructor... I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would be like this..." Mu Yaoyao’s eyes reddened, finally understanding what it meant to shoot herself in the foot.
Mu Yaoyao felt regret and hatred in her heart! If she hadn’t spoken, at least Yu Manman would have had to run with her! No! This was obviously Yu Manman’s deliberate setup!
"Instructor, it’s not that I’m unwilling to accept the punishment, but... my physical condition seems like it might not permit it." Mu Yaoyao looked at Ackman plaintively and said, "If I run five laps, it surely wouldn’t be good for my hand, and might even make it worse, right? Instructor, I play the piano, I can’t injure my hands..."
"Instructor, seeing as this is my first mistake, please spare me. I promise I won’t do it again."
"Discipline is discipline!" Ackman saw right through Mu Yaoyao’s little attempts at manipulation, "Besides, it’s not your first offense!"
"But..."
"Since you can’t run, then switch to standing at attention for an hour!" Ackman immediately blocked Mu Yaoyao’s attempt to make excuses.
"Yes... instructor." Mu Yaoyao lowered her head, loathing this unyielding instructor Ackman.
"Training continues!" Ackman immediately gathered them together.
Yu Manman wasn’t interested in watching Mu Yaoyao stand at attention and went directly to rest in the shade.
[Ding! You have successfully received the gratitude of the heroine Mu Yaoyao! Rewarded with 500 Luck Value! Rewarded with Basic Danger Perception talent!]
[Host～]
Tianba had a tone seeking praise.
Yu Manman was in a very good mood.
——Thank you, Tianba! Tianba, you’re amazing!
[Hehehe! Then could the host give Tianba a little reward?]
Yu Manman leaned against a tree and quietly asked Tianba: What do you want?
The system had helped her so much, as long as she could do it, Yu Manman was willing to go all out!
[Host, I want to try what the ice cream in your world tastes like～]
Yu Manman was surprised, the system could eat ice cream? How does it eat? Can it become tangible?
[I accumulated some points in my previous tasks.]
Then, it exchanged those points for the ability to manifest into a physical form! With the remaining points, it could eat and drink, and when the points ran out, it would just do more tasks!
Yu Manman viewed her Spiritual Sea, and in a corner saw the system’s mimicry—a chubby red squirrel was jumping and bouncing around in her Spiritual Sea!
"Tianba?"
"Yes, host!" The red squirrel bared its teeth, speaking in her Spiritual Sea, its eyes dark and clear, round and bright.
"Host, am I cute?"
This form was carefully selected by it!
Yu Manman’s spirit body was a blue butterfly koi, with long and graceful fins.
She circled around the little squirrel Tianba twice, "Cute! Tianba is the best-looking little squirrel I’ve ever seen!"
The little red squirrel jumped and smiled broadly.
Yu Manman left the Spiritual Sea, and after training ended, she picked up a nutrient solution, and then went to a small shop, bought a bag of soft bread and an ice cream, turning in another direction.
After passing a patch of greenery, the ice cream in Yu Manman’s hand disappeared, and a small squirrel appeared on a tree, gnawing on the ice cream...
Yu Manman didn’t bother with Tianba, as they had already signed a contract, and once it was done playing, it would naturally return to her Spiritual Sea.
She went directly to Xu Wanwan’s training ground.
The place where Xu Wanwan was located wasn’t very far from hers; Yu Manman got there in less than ten minutes.
Xu Wanwan was sitting under a large tree, feebly waving towards Yu Manman.
"Manman..." Xu Wanwan dropped her bag and hooked her arm through Yu Manman’s, "I’m so tired! I can’t even stand up!"
She had said she would find new cadets as models from the military academy, but Xu Wanwan had already lost that idea! She just wanted to find a bed to lie down on!
But there was none here! She could only sit on the ground!
Thankfully, she didn’t have a fear of dirt!
"You’ve practiced with me before; you should be able to keep up with the intensity of the training, right?"
Xu Wanwan blinked, "I hardly trained during the few months of summer vacation..."
She spent all her time in the art studio, which meant she didn’t train much, so naturally, her physical condition declined a lot.
Xu Wanwan quickly focused on the bread in Yu Manman’s hand, pouting, "Nutrient solutions taste awful."
"Here you go." Yu Manman could guess that the young lady wasn’t used to the nutrient solutions, "I bought it especially for you."
"The store didn’t have anything else, and this was the best option available."
"Thank you!" Xu Wanwan immediately took the bread and started nibbling!
Though it was quite ordinary, compared to the nutrient solutions, it was already very nice!
Yu Manman propped her chin up, watching her, "If it wasn’t so far, I would have gotten you an ice cream too."
She was afraid it would melt on the way, so she didn’t buy one.
Xu Wanwan’s eyes lit up!
"There’s ice cream there?" Xu Wanwan got up, her willpower strong as she excitedly looked at her good friend, "Let’s go get ice cream!"
"Didn’t you say you were tired?" Didn’t you say you couldn’t stand?
The power of ice cream is that strong?
"Tired, but I’ve still got to have ice cream! In this blazing sun, an ice cream would be so refreshing!"
"Alright then, let’s go." Yu Manman could only lead Xu Wanwan over.
After ten minutes, Xu Wanwan took a bite of the ice cream, so happy she could cry.
"It’s just a pity they didn’t have my favorite flavor!"
The little shop was almost bursting, and just having some left was already pretty good.
Xu Wanwan sat under the tree, slowly savoring it.
Suddenly, Xu Wanwan’s eyes lit up, "Manman! Look! There’s an incredibly well-built male over there!"
Yu Manman looked up accordingly, wasn’t that her instructor?
Xu Wanwan had an eye for quality, Ackman the instructor indeed had an outstanding physique, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, legs longer than her lifespan!
Xu Wanwan met Yu Manman’s gaze, "What, you know him?"
"He’s my instructor." Yu Manman said helplessly.
Xu Wanwan’s eyes lit up again, and she looked envious, "How nice! Having such an eye-pleasing instructor, over on my side... they’re too burly."
Like a bear.
"If only your instructor could be my model!" Xu Wanwan sighed, "What a pity."
But that instructor seemed like one meant for admiring from afar.
"Okay, but Xiao En from your family isn’t half bad either!"
Following Yu Manman’s words, Xu Wanwan nodded in agreement, completely missing Yu Manman’s phrasing, "That’s right! Xiao En’s not bad! I’ll ask him to model for me another day!"
Then, Xu Wanwan’s eyes, always keen to spot beauty, lit up again, "He looks good too!"
Yu Manman looked again.
Uh...
Hernans.
"You know him too?" Xu Wanwan nudged Yu Manman with her elbow.
"Sort of, we’re in the same major."
"Can you..."
"No." Without needing Xu Wanwan to finish, Yu Manman understood what she meant.
If she guessed rightly, Hernans was likely from the Hayes family of Glacier Country.
Getting him to model?
Is that possible?
