Chapter 34: with translation of chapter title

What really makes these trainees feel somewhat unaccustomed is actually the training.

According to Fan Tianlei, the schedule is just half an hour earlier than when they were in the Iron Fist Group.

But the training intensity has directly more than doubled.

And this is not yet the final training intensity.

In just three days, the soldiers encountered a period of fatigue.

Muscle soreness after physical training is still basic; what truly makes these young people unable to adapt is their proficiency and application of those absolutely "high-tech equipment" to them.

The only thing Liu Xiaotian feels he has gained an advantage from is precisely these.

His memory, which noticeably improved after obtaining the system, has been a great help to him.

Otherwise, just the complex operation of those electronic devices could make this low-key rich second-generation from another world find a rope to swing on a crooked tree.

Unlike others, besides learning operation, Liu Xiaotian also has to additionally learn troubleshooting.

That stack of manuals and detailed explanations of common faults, let alone memorizing, even just reading through once takes at least a week.

And it has to be read around the clock.

The only benefit is that, during the first week of training, Liu Xiaotian could on average complete three to five regular system tasks each day; although he saw no reward at all, and the "De Yun-produced" system voice never appeared, but after the training ended on the eighth day, that purely mechanical system voice finally "awarded" him a reward.

But Liu Xiaotian somewhat couldn't understand the content of this reward.

A first‑level electronic scanner—what is this thing? The key is, what is it used for?

After choosing to claim and successfully activating the synchronization, Liu Xiaotian did not feel any change in his body.

But…

This mission reward, however, is one of the rewards that Liu Xiaotian will be most grateful for from the system in the future.

Even when that hateful, always‑talking‑back humanized system voice reappeared and he noticed the system's automatically granted auxiliary function and wanted to take it back, Liu Xiaotian would even not hesitate to turn against it! However, that voice obviously has no authority to alter the system; at most, this guy is merely a high‑end system "supervisor" of the "intelligent brain" type, and in reality is also subject to system control.

After confirming this, Liu Xiaotian actually spent two months' worth of his allowance to treat all members of the Red Blood Cell Group to a big meal.

Of course, that's a story for later.

Now, after pondering for two days, Liu Xiaotian discovered that when "Jiaweis" appears, there is a lightning‑shaped icon in the upper right of his field of view, indicating the scanner.

But Liu Xiaotian still doesn't know how to use it.

Moreover, after training each day he even washes up with one eye closed, and he really has no mood to carefully study this seemingly useless auxiliary function.

Physical training, shooting, combat, electronic system operation, plus a fault‑maintenance item—just these already make Liu Xiaotian feel that the storage capacity and powerful computing function of the brain belonging to the original owner of this body, located in his head, is about to explode.

Even, he neglected whether he still had the morning "one‑pillar‑holds‑up‑the‑sky" that belongs to youths when he got up.

After half a month, although the training intensity increased again, the training enthusiasm of these twenty‑four young soldiers surged several times compared to the previous half month.

As for the reason…

They are all vigorous young people, and all male beings; what can stimulate their morale to rise, besides the opposite sex—and moreover an opposite sex with top‑notch looks and figure—probably neither money nor power has such an effect.

And it is precisely this factor that caused this bunch to react that way. After breakfast that day, Chen Shanming came to the barracks to inform everyone that the originally scheduled shooting training was temporarily cancelled and changed to electronic information engineering study.

Instantly, the faces of the twenty‑four young people drooped.

Logically, the only one who shouldn't have such a reaction is Liu Xiaotian.

After all, his head wears a "high‑tech top talent" hat.

But even though now, thanks to the system's assistance, his memory has greatly improved and he has memorized and understood more than half of the content, he still has a certain instinctive resistance to those arcane‑looking data and information.

But resistance aside, the order must still be carried out.

Forty minutes later, when the two female military officers entered that classroom which at a glance exuded a high‑tech aura, the twenty‑four pairs of eyes instantly widened.

Even, at that moment they all involuntarily straightened their backs.

One cannot deny that the instinct of animals, especially male animals, is truly powerful and somewhat frightening.

A peacock spreads its tail to attract the opposite sex, a gorilla beats its chest to attract the opposite sex; now these young soldiers straightening their bodies is likewise to attract the attention of those two female instructors who are absolutely beauties.

Too bad, those two never gave them a proper glance from the moment they walked in.

At the same time, this was Liu Xiaotian's first encounter with Tang Xinyi.

To be honest, he felt a bit disappointed.

Perhaps it's a matter of personal taste; when he first watched that TV drama, Liu Xiaotian wasn't particularly fond of the character Tang Xinyi.

How to put it?

It's not that Tang Xinyi isn't pretty; it's just not his type.

That face and expression, every time he sees it, Liu Xiaotian feels it's a "crying face," making one lose the mood to think of anything else upon seeing it.

In their hometown dialect, that would be called a "widowed‑husband face."

Even when she smiles, it makes him feel somewhat oppressed.

Tang Xinyi standing before him is actually a bit better; her facial features don't look as "cold," and there is a faint hint of cuteness.

This lets Liu Xiaotian feel somewhat more comfortable.

Another reason is that, in his mind, Tang Xinyi and He Chen Guang are a couple.

He admits he is an "interloper," but he doesn't want to wedge himself in that "slot."

It's not some boring notion about brothers or clothing; the key is, his gaze merely swept across Tang Xinyi's face for a moment, then was drawn away by another face.

Tang Xinyi's shoulder insignia is that of a Lieutenant, while the one who came with her is a Second Lieutenant.

The two took their places behind the podium in turn; Tang Xinyi opened the microphone, cleared her throat, and then spoke first: "Hello everyone, from today onward I am your electronic information instructor."

"I am Tang Xinyi; the person beside me is your assistant instructor, Qin Yuxi."
