Chapter 125: I Want to Be a Real Soldier!

"Hey, not you, oh my, this..." Qi Lin's words left Liu Chuang unable to say a complete sentence for quite a while.

In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.

"Hey, Sister Qi Lin, you're just teasing me. It's only because Super Soldiers don't get high blood pressure; if it were anyone else, their blood pressure would be shooting straight to two hundred!"

After saying this, Liu Chuang sighed again.

Watching Liu Chuang's current state, Qi Lin shook her head, but she didn't say anything, merely silently using a Micro-wormhole to fetch a lighter.

"Alright, stop sighing," Qi Lin said as she handed the lighter to Liu Chuang.

"I'll let you smoke one this time, but only one."

"Did you hear me!"

As soon as her voice fell, Liu Chuang snatched the lighter away and quickly lit his cigarette.

After one puff of the cigarette, a look of satisfaction appeared on Liu Chuang's face.

"Oh my, Sister Qi Lin, this cigarette really is different! The taste is just right!"

Listening to Liu Chuang, Qi Lin rolled her eyes.

"Stop spouting nonsense there," Qi Lin said.

"You've smoked your cigarette, shouldn't you tell me why you're not in the mood to train?"

"The legendary Angel is acting as our sparring partner, and you still say you're not in the mood? You're being a bit too arrogant."

However, Liu Chuang did not immediately answer Qi Lin's question, but instead asked one back.

"Let's not talk about why I'm not going to training first, why aren't you going either, Sister Qi Lin?"

Qi Lin:...

She was a bit speechless.

"Liu Chuang, are you stupid?" Qi Lin said with some helplessness. "I'm a sniper!"

"Can a sniper's training be the same as yours? I can't exactly use a Sniper Rifle to jump an Angel, can I?"

Hearing this from Qi Lin, Liu Chuang also realized it.

"Hehehe, I just forgot!" As he spoke, Liu Chuang scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Didn't you just ask me why I wasn't in the mood to train?"

"How should I put it?"

Speaking of this, Liu Chuang pondered for a few seconds, organizing his thoughts.

Only then did he continue.

"I feel that me joining this Xiongbing Company is meaningless, and being trained by that Angel is also meaningless."

"I don't want to go on like this!"

Qi Lin raised an eyebrow.

"I get it, Liu Chuang, you want to be a deserter, right?"

"As expected, you..."

Hearing the word "deserter," Liu Chuang immediately became anxious.

"What deserter! I'm not deserting anything! Although I, Liu Chuang, used to be a thug, when it comes to protecting my home and country, I absolutely do not waver!"

"I'm telling you, Sister Qi Lin, you can't look at me through colored glasses!"

"You can't just because of my past, and then..."

Watching Liu Chuang, who was about to continue explaining, Qi Lin hurriedly interrupted him.

If she didn't interrupt, Liu Chuang would likely explain for an hour.

"I'm not looking at you through colored glasses; it's you who didn't make yourself clear, that's not my fault," Qi Lin said.

"Hurry up, what exactly are you trying to express?"

This time, Liu Chuang thought about it seriously before saying: "I want to quit the Xiongbing Company and go to Chief Engineer Ye."

"Why?" Qi Lin asked with a calm face.

"We've only met Chief Engineer Ye four or five times at most, why are you suddenly thinking of going to him?"

"Is the Xiongbing Company not good?"

Looking at the calm Qi Lin, Liu Chuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that if he said he wanted to quit the Xiongbing Company, Qi Lin would definitely be angry.

But the reality was the exact opposite.

Not only was Qi Lin not angry, she was actually very calm.

Of course, it could also be the calm before the storm.

However, the words were already out, and there was no use saying anything else.

Thus, Liu Chuang continued: "Sister Qi Lin, I won't hide it from you."

"Although I am a Nuo Star God of War in the Xiongbing Company, what use is this Nuo Star God of War?"

"I can't even get past one move from the Special Forces Deputy Captain."

"And, look, ever since we joined the Xiongbing Company, what have we done?"

"Every day, we just exercise on the Juxia, running around like idiots, not knowing what we're training for, and now what? Another alien has come to train us!"

"I just don't understand, Sister Qi Lin, does our Huaxia not have anyone capable? Must we have an alien come to train us?"

"I, Liu Chuang, although I'm not a good person, I also want to protect my home and country, but the result, as you've seen, I won't say more."

"Really, there's no use saying anything, I don't want to say anything anymore! Sigh!"

After saying so much in one breath, Liu Chuang's mouth was dry, but fortunately, Qi Lin used a Micro-wormhole to fetch him a bottle of water in time.

Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Liu Chuang took the water bottle and drank it all in one go.

Qi Lin also took this opportunity to reflect on everything that had happened since she joined the Black Troop.

Just as Liu Chuang said, they had never received any basic training; for instance, her own sniper training—no one had ever taught her anything at all.

As for where she got her methods, they were naturally things her friends had helped her obtain.

Then there were the missions; from the time she joined until now, the first was fighting Sun Wukong, where Du Qiangwei's command was a total mess, simply too ghastly to look at.

Next was the time in Tianhe City; that time was truly speechless, charging straight in without any air superiority.

Oh, right, and there was that time at Yunshan.

That time, it ended before they could even be deployed.

To sum it up, this past year had just been idling about and wasting time.

Morning drills, and then self-directed training... self-directed training... it was truly perfunctory, just like coaxing a child.

Finally, there was Angel Leng coming to train the members of the Black Troop.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin glanced at Ge Xiaolun and the others who were sparring with Angel Leng.

She couldn't help but shake her head.

This wasn't training at all; calling it "playing around" would be more accurate.

That Angel Leng always had a playful smirk on her face; if you called this training, then it really was...

"Liu Chuang, I didn't expect that someone as carefree as you would discover so many problems," Qi Lin said, patting Liu Chuang on the shoulder.

"I underestimated you; you really are meticulous despite your rough exterior."

But Liu Chuang shook his head.

"Stop praising me. I'm not 'meticulous despite a rough exterior'; I was just thrown into wakefulness by Commander Qing Long."

"Unorthodox methods... practiced for so long and still unorthodox; when it comes down to it, I haven't practiced anything at all," Liu Chuang said, sighing for the nth time.

"I don't want to waste my time here in the Black Troop anymore. I'm different from Xiao Lun; he still has plenty of time!"

"Really, I want to be a real soldier, a soldier who protects the home and defends the country, not stay here doing some inexplicable training."

"Sister Qi Lin, I feel like a clown right now, I really do!"

Looking at Liu Chuang's dejected expression, Qi Lin handed him another cigarette at just the right moment.

"Thanks, Sister Qi Lin," Liu Chuang said, taking a puff of the cigarette.
