"Hey ha!"
"Ura ura ura..."
"Aaaaaah!!"
Strange noises came from all over the training ground. After putting on the wristwatches, everyone seemed to transform into acrobats and perform in the open space.
Front flip, back flip, one-handed handstand, inverted hook, Thomas full twist, straddle vault...
What was supposed to be a proper training camp has been transformed into a large-scale circus.
Lin Qiye's lips twitched slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly put on the wristwatch on his hand.
The instant the wristwatch closed, a powerful electric current surged through Lin Qiye's body, catching him off guard and causing all his muscles to involuntarily contract...
Then, Lin Qiye suddenly did a front flip!
Just as he was about to perform his second front flip, Lin Qiye channeled his mental energy into it, barely managing to counteract the electric current and thus preventing its generation, allowing him to stand firmly in place.
But as the instructor said, the magnitude of the current changes constantly, and Lin Qiye must always pay attention to its changes while injecting corresponding mental energy.
"It's harder than I imagined..." Lin Qiye sighed.The instructor on the platform looked down at the chaotic scene below, his lips twitching wildly as if he were trying hard to suppress a laugh. Then he nodded and calmly commented:
"Hmm... there are a few more people doing somersaults this year than in previous years."
Among the more than two hundred new recruits in the entire training camp, very few people, like Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan, stopped after doing one somersault.
Or Lin Xi Chen was completely normal—doing nothing at all—since she hadn't been able to turn it off in the first place.
There were at most twenty of them.
Among the remaining group, half of them did more than a dozen somersaults before they grasped the knack and stopped, panting heavily.
The remaining half is still being turned over...
It must be said that the sight of nearly a hundred new recruits in military uniforms performing synchronized backflips on the training field was indeed quite spectacular...
The instructor seemed to have finally lost his temper and waved his hand, "Dismissed! Go eat!"
In fact, the current recruits are practically disbanded. Thanks to the acrobatic detonator, formations and such have long since disappeared, and the one who's doing the most impressive flipping is already at the canteen entrance.
The new recruits, who had calmed down, gritted their teeth and focused intently on their mental energy as they slowly moved towards the mess hall...
Their cautious manner made it seem as if everyone had developed hemorrhoids.
However, there are also some people who, in order to get food, simply let loose and quickly scramble their way to the cafeteria.
Soon after, Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan stood in front of the dining table.
"Why aren't you eating?" Lin Qiye put a piece of meat in his mouth, looking at Baili Pangpang beside him, whose face was pale, with some doubt. "Aren't you hungry?"
"Hungry." Baili Pangpang stared at the food on the table, swallowed hard, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed unable to resist the temptation of the food, and with lightning speed, he reached out, grabbed a piece of meat, and stuffed it into his mouth...
Whoosh—!
Baili Pangpang suddenly did a backflip, and the meat in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Baili Pangpang: (ಥ﹏ಥ)
Fortunately, there were no chairs at the recruits' dining table, so everyone ate standing up; otherwise, such a flip would have overturned the entire table.
Hmm... Could it be that the cafeteria was designed this way just for this situation?!
"Is it difficult? I think it's alright." Cao Yuan easily picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed, smacking his lips every now and then. "Mmm, the meat is really delicious today."
Baili Pangpang stood there looking aggrieved, staring at Lin Qiye, his eyes seemingly filled with tears...
"Hey me..." he said with a mournful face.
Lin Qiye sighed helplessly, bent down, picked up the piece of meat from the ground, and stuffed it into Baili Pangpang's mouth.
Lin Qiye seemed to transform into Baili Pangpang's loving mother and strict father, feeding him by hand. When Baili Pangpang was enjoying his meal, he would occasionally do a couple of backflips to entertain Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye: (҂⌣̀_⌣́)
Without comparison, there is no harm; as it turns out, it wasn't just Lin Qiye and his group at their table who did this...
Shen Qingzhu stood by the dining table, one hand supporting his forehead, helplessly watching his three lackeys, Deng Wei, Li Jia, and Li Liang, who were constantly doing somersaults. He sighed softly...
"Brother Shen, I'm hungry~"
"Brother Shen, Brother Shen... I want to eat!"
"Um, cough cough, Brother Shen... could you please feed us..."
Shen Qingzhu took a deep breath, grabbed the bowls and chopsticks from the table, and walked towards the three of them, speaking menacingly:
"Damn it, all of you better behave... one at a time!!"
...
Thump thump thump—!
"Enter."
The door to the head instructor's office slowly opened, and Yuan Gang looked up, his eyebrows slightly raised as he saw the young man walking into the room.
"It's you?"
Lin Qiye walked to the desk and gave a military salute.
"Report! I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Yuan Gang nodded slightly, put away the documents on the table, and said, "Sit down and let's talk."
Lin Qiye sat down in the chair opposite Yuan Gang. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a silver nameplate from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Yuan Gang narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing the nameplate.
"Forbidden items?"
"That's right." Lin Qiye nodded. "This is a loot I obtained during my vacation after fighting a group of [believers]. It seems to possess a forbidden energy called [Boiling Blood]."
"Sequence 209, [Blood Boiling]..." Yuan Gang nodded, looking at Lin Qiye, seemingly understanding his intentions. "You want to hand this over?"
"If I hand it over... what will I get in return?" Lin Qiye asked cautiously.
"The Night Watchers don't have many forbidden items in their reserves. Although [Blood Boiling] isn't a particularly high-risk forbidden area, it can still be quite useful in certain situations. Handing it over should earn you some merit points or cash. What you want is up to you."
"Cash? How much?"
"Based on market prices, it's probably around two million."
Lin Qiye gasped!
This thing was taken from Scorpion's corpse. To be honest, Lin Qiye didn't really like this forbidden item, and it wasn't very useful in actual combat, so he had been thinking about getting rid of it.
But when it comes to dealing with prohibited items, Lin Qiye has no idea how to assess their value, nor does he know where to sell them. Even if he found a place similar to a black market for prohibited items, he wouldn't have enough time to find suitable buyers...
After much deliberation, he still felt that handing it over directly to the Night's Watch was the most reliable, safe, and would bring immediate benefits.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"I choose to hand over this prohibited item. As for the exchange conditions... two million in cash will suffice."
"However, I still want to know some more information."
"What news?"
"Regarding news about Chen Muye and Wu Xiangnan," Lin Qiye said calmly, "I want to know... what exactly happened to them?"
