Chapter 274: The Performance Begins (2)

He Zhijun's speech lasted a full fifteen minutes.

To Liu Xiaotian, over ninety-five percent of it was meaningless "boilerplate"; using a phrase common among web novel readers in his previous world, he would describe it as: This guy can really bullshit!

Just like the author of the anti-Japanese war novel he once liked, Return My Rivers and Mountains, Gou Han Tang, who could bullshit four or five chapters in a pre-war mobilization, over ten thousand words.

He Zhijun spoke for fifteen minutes; even if it wasn't ten thousand words, it was at least seven or eight thousand; but Liu Xiaotian summed it up in eight words: Take it seriously, strive for victory!

The rest was nonsense.

Of course, he only dared to think that secretly in his heart; saying it out loud would be unthinkable.

When Liu Xiaotian was already getting sleepy and planning to close his eyes for a quick nap, He Zhijun finally uttered the most important words; strictly speaking, it should be called an order:

Actually, there was no need for Zheng Sanpao to remind him; Xiao Zhuang already knew Liu Xiaotian's target was his "Siberian Wolf"; he remained silent because he also wanted to take this opportunity to stretch his muscles.

In one, one look `no, one mistaken version%!'

And Liu Xiaotian is still standing here, and has become the instructor of the Fire Phoenix Women's Special Forces Team; at least on the two key issues of loyalty and stance, there is no possible problem.

The lone wolf has had no missions for over a month; normally that's a good thing, indicating the guys they have to deal with have been quiet lately; the downside is that someone like Xiao Zhuang, a born soldier, feels uncomfortable all over once idle; sparring with the lone wolf's members no longer interests him, and now he finally found a decent-looking opponent, so Xiao Zhuang is itching to take this chance to stretch his muscles.

But he knows he is only a temporary instructor and will ultimately have no connection with the Fire Phoenix.

And he himself has more important things to do, namely to measure himself against Xiao Zhuang.

On the vehicle, Liu Xiaotian, who had already prepared his equipment the previous night, gave no plans to the eight female soldiers of the Fire Phoenix; he simply donned his gear and said lightly to He Lu and Tan Xiaolin: "You are the training instructors of the Fire Phoenix; I am a temporary instructor, so for this confrontation drill I will not take command; command authority goes to you, you decide how to arrange tactics."

Liu Xiaotian really has no interest in being an instructor, but this is an order, a mission, and he must carry it out.

Regardless of whether the captain of the Fire Phoenix Women's Special Forces Team in this world will ultimately be He Lu, he must now follow the 'script' of the 'storyline' and hand command authority to He Lu and Tan Xiaolin.

Xiao Zhuang guessed wrong; Liu Xiaotian is doing this not to prove his strength to someone, but because just now the system issued him a new task: to defeat Xiao Zhuang head-on in this confrontation drill.

Unbeknownst to him, the person he selected actually thinks the same way in his heart.

At least, Shen Lan Ni and Ye Cunxin feel somewhat uncomfortable about Liu Xiaotian's arrangement in their hearts.

Back then it was already like that, let alone now?

Women, after all, it's normal to have jealousy; even soldiers cannot completely rid themselves of it.

However, Xiao Zhuang did not suspect Liu Xiaotian's various odd behaviors, because he knows that whatever he can think of, He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei can also think of.

The reason is just two words: Why? In training, those eight people are together all day, receiving the same training, identical in intensity and content; in rank, Shen Lan Ni is also an officer, only one grade below He Lu, while Ye Cunxin is a top student specially recruited, inherently possessing a superiority; if these two could be convinced, Liu Xiaotian would think it abnormal. She has not yet been appointed captain of the Fire Phoenix Women's Special Forces Team, and even He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei have not yet decided who will be the captain of the Fire Phoenix, but Liu Xiaotian has placed her on the same level as Tan Xiaolin, which will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among some individuals.

What he most wants to know now is just how much Liu Xiaotian knows about him and the lone wolf.

Moreover, that unreliable system also doesn't know what wind it caught, and actually gave this mission a name, called 'Wolf Totem'.

"All personnel immediately board the vehicles, proceed to the respective drill starting points; at 9:30, the drill officially begins!"

Xiao Zhuang said nothing, but a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

In these people's eyes, not only now, but even when he was first selected to participate in the Red Blood Cell Group's selection training, Liu Xiaotian has always been a troublemaker; although his training results were not outstanding, he has never admitted defeat.

Seeing Liu Xiaotian lead the Fire Phoenix away, Zheng Sanpao sidled up to Xiao Zhuang and whispered:

Those who don't know think this 'newly promoted' instructor Liu Xiaotian is eager to show off, impatient to prove his strength to He Zhijun and Fan Tianlei through this drill; while Gong Jian and a few judges who know Liu Xiaotian better clearly know that this kid is just bored and annoyed, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

"I say, this kid looks a bit energetic, and I feel he's already taken you as an imaginary enemy; I advise you to be careful."

But why did he suddenly become 'heroic' all of a sudden? And in such a short time, this is really somewhat unscientific.

As for Liu Xiaotian's arrangement, Tan Xiaolin is fine with it, but He Lu looks very surprised.

Before the words finished, Liu Xiaotian 'squeezed' up, stood, turned, and loudly issued commands to the eight female soldiers of the Fire Phoenix:

"Attention! Turn right—march! Run—go!"

Now having the chance to 'spar' with Xiao Zhuang, Liu Xiaotian's heart is naturally full of anticipation.

He has read all of Liu Xiaotian's materials; he knows that this new recruit's 'rise' only happened in the past six months; before that, he was consistently ordinary, even somewhat lacking.

Since returning from Warrior School, it's not been short; spending all day with the eight female soldiers of the Fire Phoenix, Liu Xiaotian's true feeling is sheer boredom.

If it weren't for Liu Xiaotian still wanting to ask the system for something, he would be cursing in his heart right now.

Lacking culture, just say you lack culture; even if you named this task 'Wolf Slaying', that would show some meaning, but this 'Wolf Totem'—what does it mean? That book is completely praising wolf nature; are you wanting me to go give the lone wolf a 'gift of heads'? It's not that Liu Xiaotian is unwilling to be a 'green leaf' for Xiao Zhuang and his lone wolf; it's that the system this time made it clear: if the mission fails, the punishment is actually to pursue Tang Xinyi...

Perverted, really too fucking perverted!

Solely to avoid this perverted punishment, Liu Xiaotian swore he must succeed!
