As soon as the counselor left, everyone eagerly looked at Chu River, and when Yuanyuan Family took it out of the bag, several girls instantly cheered—
"Little He, you’re awesome, hahaha!"
The girls next door, looking at the scorching sun and the training ground outside without a single bit of shade, were feeling gloomy as they reapplied sunscreen: "..."
Has the military training not even started, and they’re already going crazy?
With an inexplicable sense of anticipation, Chu River maintained an enthusiastic spirit all morning, and during lunch, he let himself go and got in line for food again and again.
And sincerely commented: "Delicious!"
Of course, it’s heavy on oil, heavy on salt, and heavily flavored, with abundant ingredients and tastes better than Tianshui Second High School’s cafeteria! And what doesn’t Chu Fa Da eat? He’s not afraid of any type of flavor, plus training bases are generally for new recruits, so the chubby chef always presses down the ladle generously...
She once again regretted—if she had known earlier, she should’ve applied to a military academy or just enlisted directly!
She brought this up at the dining table, and several girls immediately shook their heads—
"Little He, with your physique, being a soldier would definitely not be a problem, you’re definitely better than us." Googlᴇ search n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
"But if you want to eat so freely, that’s not possible... don’t you know there are set meal times in the army? What if you have to guard the border, patrol every day with just two buns and a bottle of water, would you be okay with that?"
Don’t say it, even with only one night of interaction, everyone has already figured out Chu River’s personality thoroughly. At this moment, a Chinese department girl earnestly recounted from some unknown source of information:
"Plus, being a soldier requires discipline. If you don’t even feel like getting food, you’ll need to train, wash your clothes, and tidy your quarters yourself, I don’t think you can keep it up."
Enduring it would definitely be doable. After all, in a previous life, every soldier had to go through survival training on a Deserted Star with only the most basic conditions.
Chu River nodded and sighed in relief: "You’re right, I can’t endure it."
Having experienced such a life already, this time it’s a no-go, not happening!
Meanwhile, Qin Yuze also followed the training base’s leader to the cafeteria—Mr. Chang Geng’s recent achievements were truly astonishing, so much so that everyone was on edge. And in his social circle, everything else was traceable, except for this Chu River, who was utterly silent.
It’s just... no one knew anything about this girl, yet she made those era-defining inventions and maintained such a low profile, even having an extraordinary relationship with Mr. Chang Geng...
If not for this, just the technological achievements contained in the Yuanyuan Family would be enough for everyone to study for quite some time.
Yet, Mr. Chang Geng insisted on having her keep a low profile...
In short, research wasn’t feasible for the time being. On the contrary, they had to fend off those business people who came knocking after hearing the news...
Finding genuinely diligent people took too long!
If Chu River knew, she’d probably smile politely—if Chang Geng didn’t want it, even if we met every two days, no one would notice.
But since someone paid attention, it proves Chang Geng indeed intended for her to have a relaxed period, while preparing her ability’s groundwork which would facilitate direct recruitment for future large projects...
However, at this moment, Chu Fa Da was still eating heartily, feeling the cafeteria here was truly delightful.
And Qin Yuze, being there, naturally grabbed a tray to get some food.
The chef in the mess hall didn’t recognize him, but seeing he was young, didn’t pay much attention and instead said to the accompanying class leader: "Look, a girl came today, I can tell at a glance she’s soldier material!"
Saying so, his gaze turned over.
The class leader instinctively glanced over, then turned back, laughing and scolding: "What nonsense, the girl’s skin is as pale as a petal, who would come here to be a soldier!"
The chef shook his head: "You’re being one-sided! You can’t judge a book by its cover—that girl got seven servings from me!"
"I saw it, it was all for herself!"
In the middle of deciding what to eat, Qin Yuze was momentarily stunned, instinctively turned around, and immediately caught a detail—
[This Chu River, her similarity with Chang Geng lies in their big appetite, and they both seem to enjoy eating...]
He then chuckled—what’s the big deal about liking to eat? The entire Zheng Country is full of food lovers!
Finally overcoming decision paralysis, he chose what to eat for lunch—
"I’ll have this, carrot lamb chop rice!"
