Chapter 238: Chapter 14: Mu Fan Dominates the Cafeteria Chapter 238: Chapter 14: Mu Fan Dominates the Cafeteria “`
(Well, the word count for this chapter has already exceeded 3500…
Combining three updates into two, consider this as me going all out.)
The special combat team members who were paying attention to this place couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Hahahaha!
The first tragic figure has emerged.
The soldier on guard with a gun prepared to go over and pick up Xize, but after Xize rolled over twice, he surprisingly got up and continued running without stopping, although at a visibly slower pace, with a face now too pitiful to look at.
“Giggle giggle giggle, I’m dying of laughter!” Tracy laughed so hard she couldn’t even stand straight, the Bearded one just laughed foolishly along, while Wolf and Deer stared intently at Tracy’s ample chest, quivering with every laugh.
The tight military uniform clearly outlined every curve.
This woman is quite a sight!
Huh?
A glare reeking of murderous intent made the two straighten up immediately.
The commotion with Xize had already caught the eye of some observant people behind him.
Something’s fishy!
The remaining dozen or so elite cadets truly lived up to their names.
At the moment of Xize’s tragic faceplant, they immediately made the necessary adjustments, and in the next ten seconds or so, save for a few who might not have been fully prepared due to a lack of knowledge regarding the military’s exact legwork and thus appeared a bit unsteady, the rest smoothly passed through.
But this was just the first wave.
A much larger second wave was to follow, and so the soldiers present, along with the twenty or so special combat teams, witnessed a comedic scene.
A row of people fell over each other in a race to get up, with two even falling repeatedly.
“Hahahaha, this is too funny!!”
The special combat teams laughed out loud; they were not strictly subordinate to Lin Hao but had a cooperative relationship.
So apart from the pressure of military rank, there really wasn’t much else to fear.
On the other side, Lin Hao, the Major, nodded continuously as he listened to the Captain’s report from the underground base.
When the last candidate had passed, he hung up the Sky Communication, then turned to Wu Yue and praised him, “The quality of this year’s students at your school is quite impressive.
Everyone actually passed the first round of tests, and those who were clearly injured also got up and ran before the soldiers arrived.
This spirit is exactly what we in the Federation Armed Forces need!”
This was clearly praise, but it still didn’t sound pleasant to the ear.
The approach he took to prove his discernment through this test seemed to have gone awry; he had to admit that in terms of physical quality, the first place was indeed well-deserved.
But there were still remaining tests!
As long as the final score was turned around, it didn’t matter if one fell behind by one position in a single event.
Mu Fan, who had just passed the finish line, immediately felt an unexpected surge in gravity.
The weight on his shoulders instantly doubled.
But as the gravity hit, his body, blood, and bones adapted even before his mind could.
As if…
He quite enjoyed this kind of gravity.
It felt like back in the Martial Arts Hall’s Gravity Training Room, where gravity gradually increased.
The difference this time was the weight increased only on his shoulders, not the kind of overall heaviness of the body.
Thus, what seemed like an unusual increase in weight to others was essentially ineffective for Mu Fan.
For food, nobody can take away my first place!
Is this just a run?
Mu Fan’s muscles tensed firmly as he took large leaps with the weighted backpack, almost completing the first lap.
Originally third place, Yin Shuai was slowly overtaken by some of the candidates who had adjusted well.
Causing him to mutter in annoyance, “I hate this kind of no-brainer stuff the most, and…
it’s so tiring!
I wonder if there’ll be enough dinner for me; if not, I’m not running!”
Major Lin Hao watched as Mu Fan neared the finish line again and smiled, “The real test is only starting now.”
He pressed a button.
200KG!
Mu Fan’s body sank once more, but his muscles tensed even tighter.
“Report, sir, Mu Fan’s squat depth increased by 1 centimeter, no other anomalies.”
Lin Hao: …
Circle 12 ended, 240KG!
“Report, sir, Mu Fan’s squat depth increased by 0.5 centimeters, no other anomalies.”
The increment in squatting depth is decreasing!?
Lin Hao couldn’t believe his eyes as he first glanced at Mu Fan, then at the group of youngsters behind him who were starting to breathe unevenly.
His physical stamina seemed a bit exaggerated.
Circle 13, 280KG!
Instantly eliminated 56 people.
Circle 14, 320KG!
Only 23 left.
Circle 15, 360KG!
Only 8 elite cadets remained…
White Hair Yin Shuai waved his hand in front of the finish line to indicate he was done, while Xize, incredibly, managed to sustain running with a swollen face, completing circle 14, finally collapsing on the ground after crossing into circle 15, where a group of soldiers came forward.
Although there were still 8 people left…
Gao Baiyun, who was running at the back, watched Mu Fan pass him with tearful eyes, not because he was originally leading, but because he had lapped him…
Carrying that huge weighted backpack tirelessly, still in that super-leap posture.
You must be a humanoid Fierce Beast from another planet, right?
Raised in the Martial Arts Hall since he was young, his repertoire of Fighting Skills far exceeded that of ordinary people, but endurance was truly not one of Gao Baiyun’s strong suits.
His style was all about explosive power, unleashing all his energy in a brief outburst.
So when he took heavy steps and saw a fierce figure flash by his side, Gao Baiyun, stretched to his limits, finally gave up.
One less competitor!
Circle 16…
Circle 17…
When approaching the end of circle 18, with his foot frequency reduced to a fifth of what it was at the start, Young Master Zhang Shaotang, pale-faced, raised his hand to signal surrender.
His score was quite remarkable, as the third place stopped at the very start of circle 16.
Wu Yue consoled Zhang Shaotang, whose legs trembled as he left the field, patting his shoulder.
“Remarkable, you’ve refreshed the special recruitment record for the previous session!”
Zhang Shaotang’s face was drenched in sweat, too weak to speak, he just pointed behind him, not wanting to talk.
Wu Yue’s face also stiffened.
Now everyone’s eyes were focused on the only person left on the field—Mu Fan.
But unlike the others who were either pale or drained,
Mu Fan’s face was flushed, the veins on his neck all stood out, and his trapezius muscles on either side behind the shoulders were bulging!
Now every footstep made the ground tremble.
“`
The atmosphere on site went from initial laughter to teasing, to applause, and now to a collective silence.
Everyone had grown numbly accustomed to watching that figure complete the 20th lap.
Subconsciously, Lin Hao pressed the command button in his hand.
“Beep.” The prompt indicated operation failure.
He pressed again, “Beep” the prompt still indicated operation failure.
Only then did he realize the weighted backpack had reached its limit!!!
520KG of weight!!
To think that running 19 laps with a half-ton on the back…
Unnoticed, that youth named Mu Fan had already reached the limit of the weighted backpack.
As Mu Fan finished the 20th lap and started on the 21st, passing by Lin Hao and Wu Yue, he suddenly tilted his head, “Instructor, why isn’t the weight increasing?
How much longer do I have to run?”
Lin Hao almost wanted to throw his command device at Mu Fan’s face.
He actually came over just to throw this in my face.
Turn around and take a look!!!
It’s already dark out, but the bright lights clearly illuminate the entire base.
Why keep running?
Can’t you see the fifty-plus people lying on the ground next to you?
Can’t you see those elite students staggering around?
You’re the only one left on the field, okay?!?
“Student Mu Fan, first place in this weighted physical endurance test, the test is over.”
Phew!
Mu Fan, still in midair, seemed to suddenly have all the strength drain from his body upon hearing this command, and the backpack, now weighing 520KG, was thrown heavily onto the ground.
And Mu Fan landed from midair, simply sitting down without getting up again.
Everyone present: …
So you were pretending this whole time?
However, Mu Fan quickly sprang to his feet and then shouted at the top of his lungs, giving the other students a sinking feeling, “Reporting to the instructor, can we eat now?
As the first-place finisher, do I get to eat first?!”
Young Master Zhang Shaotang had just managed to regain his composure when he heard this, and he looked over in disbelief.
You idiot, don’t tell me you ran to the death just for a meal!?
Everyone’s eyes were on Lin Hao.
After a long silence, the Major waved his hand, “Commence eating!”
“Yay!”
Mu Fan jumped nearly 2 meters high on the spot!
A few students nearby wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Compared to this beast, playing by oneself is just kidney failure.
No wonder Mu Fan previously bragged about having a strong back to that insanely wild senior!!!
With such physical stamina, it’d be a wonder if his back weren’t strong.
Time to eat!
Time to eat!
Time to eat!
As soon as the Major pointed in the direction, Mu Fan had already vanished like a shadow…
The remaining students quickly formed a new understanding of this core member.
This core member…
was much more formidable than they had imagined!
But when their guard was finally lowered, they realized their stomachs had long been growling with hunger.
No wonder they motivated us with food, so cunning!
Hurry up and eat!
A group of people also formed several small clusters and ran toward the mess hall.
But when they reached the brightly lit mess hall, brimming with delicious aromas, they were stopped by dozens of fully armed soldiers.
A Lieutenant holding a floating screen continuously checked off names from a list:
“Second place, Young Master Zhang Shaotang, please enter.
Food limit, 3.8KG.”
Young Master Zhang Shaotang walked out of the group with a dark face, Do I look like a food container?
It’s only to compete with that core student in such a contest that I’ve strived for first place.
And behind him, a few burly types looked on enviously.
“Third place, Shi Sen, please enter.
Food limit, 2.7KG.”
“Fourth place…”
It was only then that the young men remembered what the Major had said before.
So this was what he meant, but with so much food, who could eat all that?
Poor kids, the less they finished, the less they got, but many had already gone in.
When the last person entered and heard they only had 200g of food, their near-collapse expression brought smiles to the faces of Lin Hao and Wu Yue, who were observing.
Only by experiencing it once would they know the value of food.
…
When Young Master Zhang Shaotang walked down the long corridor into the fragrant mess hall, what he saw made his stomach feel tight again.
Fried rice!
An entire bucket of fried rice appeared before him!!
Even though the staff sergeant next to him claimed it was high-energy, high-quality rice from Green Farm Star, Young Master Zhang Shaotang, who was accustomed to delicacies from land and sea, really didn’t want to make do.
But just as this thought surfaced, it was interrupted by the ravenous eating sounds next to him.
Huffing and puffing~ So tasty!!
“So delicious!”
“Hahaha, I knew my efforts weren’t in vain!”
Mu Fan, laughing somewhat manically with his face covered in rice grains, appeared in front of Young Master Zhang Shaotang with his cheeks bulging to the point he doubted a touch would send out a bowlful of rice.
What was even more terrifying was the wooden barrel in front of Mu Fan, which was twice the size of his own!
Truly, a gigantic bucket of rice!
“How much food does he get…” Stiffly twisting his neck, Young Master Zhang Shaotang asked the staff sergeant.
“10 kilograms!
That’s the Major’s reward for the first place.”
The color drained from Young Master Zhang Shaotang’s face.
So the hard-earned competition was just to vie with this glutton for that 10 kilograms of fried rice!
And most infuriatingly, that core student really did it all for a meal!
Behind him, more and more people were coming in, and soon they’d realize that a godlike figure who would dominate the entire mess hall was about to be born right before their eyes…
