After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 38: The new guests each possess unique skills; Jiang Hanying's keen perception...
A more luxurious-looking van slowly pulled up next to the van where the non-celebrity guests had just been sitting.

The camera pans to reveal a handsome, fair-skinned face behind the automatically opening car door.

[Another handsome young man has arrived!]

[Yun Shuihan! It's actually Yun Shuihan! The production team actually managed to invite Yun Shuihan!]

[That's a nice name, but who is Yun Shuihan?]

Don't you guys follow the sports world? Yun Shuihan just won the world swimming championship last year, and he's also known as the male mermaid.

[It's my fault for not knowing much about the sports world; I'll go catch up now.]

After Yun Shuihan greeted the camera and got out of the car, everyone saw that there were still people sitting inside, and they got out as well.

"Hello everyone, I am Yu Feng."

[Judging from the name, I thought it was a man, but it turns out to be another young woman. Is she also an athlete? Does anyone know?]

[I know, I know, Yu Feng is a fencer, and he's even a world champion.]

[Old Wang is impressive; he managed to bring in two world champions all at once.]

Wait, there seems to be someone else in the car.

After getting out of the car, Yun Shuihan and Yu Feng didn't go directly to the group; they were clearly waiting for someone.

The young man, wearing a black baseball cap and carrying a small black bag, stepped over the seat in front of him and easily got off the bus.

After standing still and looking up, his cool and aloof face, hidden under the brim of his hat, was finally revealed to the camera.

[There was even a really handsome guy hiding at the very back!]

[As expected, the most stunning appearances are always the last ones; this one must be a celebrity, right?]

[Not necessarily. The first two are athletes; could this one also be an athlete?]

I know a fair bit about the sports world, but to be honest, I'm a little confused right now.

Fortunately, the person whose identity was being speculated about quickly gave a brief self-introduction, simply stating her name: "I am Chi Song."

[Wow, that's a deep, recognizable voice. Who cares what their profession is, I'm a fan now!]

[This show was absolutely perfect! First, we had a super handsome male instructor, then another cool and aloof guy, and so many young male athletes—looks-obsessed fans are ecstatic!]

[Chi Song? Is that what you mean? Go search it!]

[Found it. Not a celebrity, but an athlete. I've copied and pasted the information; you're welcome.]

[He's a baseball player! No wonder he's wearing a baseball cap and uniform.]

This sport has always been quite niche; no wonder I'd never even heard of it.

[If this young man, Chi Song, were playing another popular sport, he'd probably be famous by now!]

While Jiang Hanying appeared to be warmly welcoming the new guests along with everyone else, she was actually already multitasking, thinking about what kind of breakfast the cafeteria would prepare that day.

No other reason than I'm hungry!
Suddenly, he noticed a gaze fixed on him and instinctively looked up back.

He was met with a pair of eyes that held a scrutinizing gaze.

He raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

Does this person know her?
Or did they know the original owner?

However, this person just said his name was Chi Song, but the original owner's memories did not contain this name, nor did they contain this face.

What are you looking at? Is it because she's pretty?
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Jiang Hanying glared back defiantly.

Chi Song's shoulders stiffened slightly.

He had only wanted to check out his target, and he never expected the other party to be so perceptive.

They had only looked over briefly, and before they could even see the face clearly, they were already noticed.

This is the first time I've been so directly provoked.

Li Chengxiao didn't pay much attention to Chi Song at first, until he noticed Jiang Hanying's subtle actions.

Following her gaze, he saw three people standing side by side at the end. He only needed to glance at them to know that Jiang Hanying was looking at Chi Song.

As he looked away, he also kept a close eye on things.

The new guests are either still in school or come from relatively simple social circles, so their backgrounds are pretty straightforward. It's just that Chi Song gives him a somewhat contradictory feeling.

When he saw Wang Jun treat Chi Song with a slightly more subtle attitude compared to the other two, he understood what was going on.

Now everyone should be here, right?

I have a feeling the competition is going to be incredibly fierce!

[That's right. Athletes train almost every day, and there are also strong and healthy college students. Their physical fitness is much better than that of celebrities. So, Captain Jiang, aren't you worried?]

It seems unlikely that Jiang Hanying will be able to stand out like she did a couple of days ago!

Wait a minute, are the celebrity guests going to get outplayed by the non-celebrity and athlete guests?

[It's possible; I have a feeling that all the new guests Lao Wang invited this time possess extraordinary skills.]

Thumbs up for Lao Wang!

[I can't wait for our new guest to join the training today!]

For their audience, the fiercer the competition, the more interesting it is!
Wang Jun didn't disappoint: "The new guests have finally all arrived. The next nine new guests will join the recruit team and undergo recruit training under the command of Instructor Li. For those who want to see how the new guests perform, remember to tune in to the 'Absolute Experience' live stream..."

[Locked up! Locked up!]

It's on all day long, only turned off when I go to sleep.

I didn't even turn off the alarm while I was sleeping, afraid of missing this big surprise—the nighttime emergency drill.

[It's a big surprise for us, but a big shock for the guests.]

[I missed the last nighttime emergency drill, so I'm asking if there will be another one?]

There will definitely be one, but it's uncertain which night; it depends on which night the instructor feels like it.

After the new guests handed over their mobile phones and other electronic devices in accordance with the program's usual rules, and selected three items from their luggage to take with them, they entered the base under the guidance of the veteran guests.

As I walked, I looked around curiously.

Although I had already seen a general overview of the base in the live stream, being there in person was a completely different experience.

[Will the instructor give the new guests another six-kilometer "baptism of fire" this time?]

[Uncertain, keep reading to find out.]

[Forget it, I won't take a nap now. I'll catch up during the guests' afternoon nap.]

Me too. I was really sleepy when I first woke up, but now I'm not sleepy at all.

The new guests had to go to their dormitories to settle in first, and the live broadcast camera finally followed them back to the dormitories.

Wenwei's previous berth was given to Yu Feng.

The other two female guests were placed in the dormitory next to theirs.

Two more dorm rooms were added for the male guests: one for the non-celebrity guests and one for the athlete guests.

Two days have passed, and the guests' dormitories are still in pretty good condition.

After all, who isn't afraid of surprise inspections by the drill instructors?

The current dormitory arrangement is quite reasonable. Since we're all in similar situations, our daily routines are also similar, giving us more common topics to discuss.

I had just put down what I was holding when the breakfast whistle blew.

The new guest was a little confused when he suddenly heard the whistle and stood there, somewhat at a loss.

The veteran guests, led by Jiang Hanying, reacted much faster, running out as quickly as they could, not forgetting to turn back and call out to the new guests, "What are you standing there for? Come on, let's go eat!"

When the new guests came to their senses and followed downstairs, they saw that the old guests were already lined up in a neat row outside waiting.

"Stand back in line, destination: the cafeteria!"

[Unexpectedly, the integration of the new and old guests actually started with a meal in the cafeteria.]

[Friendly advice: Don't be shy in front of the camera, eat more, otherwise you might not be able to keep going all morning.]

If you ask me, just eat what Jiang Hanying eats!
