The next day.
The training activity was a 400m obstacle run. There were also activities such as a 100m sprint, horse stance, crossing mud pits, wall climbing, balancing, and wire-mesh drilling.
As they were extremely difficult, the time restraints were looser.
They also added a shooting activity at the end. Gu Mang’s shooting was so terrible there was no room for getting any worse.
Although the superiors had told Li Mu not to question Gu Mang’s training performance, for some reason, he kept trying to help her.
Being cared for so nicely, Gu Mang did not know what to say. So, she told Li Mu, “Sir, I am very good. I just don’t want to take part in the assessment for the documentary. You don’t have to provide so much guidance to me.”
Li Mu did not believe it. He looked at her with a serious and stern look. “Practice makes perfect. I believe that you can become better.”
Gu Mang was expressionless, and her tone was calm and cold. “Military instructor, what is the first duty of Red Scorpion?”
Li Mu answered, “Obey!”
Gu Mang nodded and questioned nonchalantly. “Then why aren’t you obeying your superiors.”
Li Mu was silent for a second. “The superiors think that you are too under-qualified. I think there is room for improvement.”
The corner of Gu Mang’s lips curled up and she said frivolously, “Your superiors are right. So you should obey them.”
Li Mu couldn’t think of a rebuttal suddenly.
Gu Mang smiled. “Goodbye, Sir.”
With that, she turned to leave.
…
At night, they let the students rest instead of making them run cross country carrying heavy loads.
Gu Mang played games in Lu Chengzhou’s office and said casually, “That military instructor of mine…”
Lu Chengzhou was sitting beside her. He turned to look at her and waited for her to finish her sentence.
Gu Mang cleared her throat. “…has quite a great sense of responsibility.”
Lu Chengzhou laughed. “Li Mu is quite a qualified person. He ranked first in all areas in the reserves. When this military training ends, he will be transferred to the main base.”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows without stopping her hand movements. She headshot her opponent and then looked at Lu Chengzhou. “Did you pick him as my military instructor?”
Lu Chengzhou was still smiling. He answered with a low voice, “Guess.”
Gu Mang did not answer. She picked up the cup of water and finished it. Her eyes were still fixed on the computer screen.
Lu Chengzhou took her cup and went to refill it.
…
The obstacle course training lasted for three days.
On the first day, Li Mu paid careful attention to Gu Mang’s training and he guided her along from the sidelines.
Two days later, Li Mu no longer seemed to care about Gu Mang as much. So many rumors sprang about it. The most debated version was that Gu Mang’s performance was so poor that the military instructor had given up on her out of helplessness.
Gu Mang’s poor performance during the military training was nothing new.
The training activities after that were no longer as time-consuming as the previous ones.
The temperature was low in the morning and at night. As usual, they had cross country with heavy loads. They also added carrying logs. They also had two days of climbing with heavy loads.
They had two days of abseiling and two days of swimming with heavy loads.
All the individual training sessions were about the same. The military instructor went to every dormitory and handed out the planned training schedule. In the middle of it, there was some skill training. Fighting accounted for the heaviest proportion.
Just when everyone thought Gu Mang, who had been fighting since she was a child, would make a comeback at the combat activities, Gu Mang applied for leave and claimed to have heatstroke.
Everyone was speechless.
…
Lu Chengzhou’s office.
Gu Mang led Qin Fang, He Yidu, and Lu Wu to play games.
Half the players in the game were killed by Gu Mang. She was really cool!
Qin Fang and the other two leeched off Gu Mang. They won without doing much in the entire game.
“Damn! I’ve won 18 consecutive times! Sister-in-law, you’re so impressive!” Qin Fang shouted. He was really excited.
Gu Mang looked rather calm. She took the cup of water Lu Chengzhou handed her and drank it.
Lu Wu went into his group chat with his buddies and boasted to them that Gu Mang had led his in the game.
Lu Wu: “Ms. Gu led us in the game. We won 18 consecutive times. I felt like boasting for a while.”
He attached a screenshot of his consecutive wins in the game.
In the next second…
You have been muted by the admin for a month.
Lu San: “Hahahahahaha nice!”
Lu Wu was speechless.
Lu Yī, you idiot!
