Building a sect from scratch.

Isn't Chapter 23 about playing games?
Before Han Yi could finish his explanation, his father excitedly slapped his thigh: "Your school is backing you up? Then why wouldn't you agree? Of course you would! Are you stupid? The national team specifically sought you out and you still hesitated? How can you... how can you... do that to yourself!"

Han's mother, standing to the side, was still a little worried: "Oh, what if he's a scammer?"

Mr. Han said nonchalantly, "Hey, our son is an adult now. If he doesn't even have this much discernment, then he deserves to be scammed. Besides, if he really gets scammed, let him use his New Year's money and pocket money to cover the hole. Consider it tuition for society, right?"

"makes sense……"

"Besides, the national team is already asking for you. They're offering you money and promising great benefits. You have to go even if it's raining knives on you! What are you hesitating for!" Han's father said firmly, then added, "Your mother and I are going to be busy. You handle this. If you dare to do anything wrong... wait till we get back, I'll break your legs!"

"Dududu-"

As the busy tone sounded from the loudspeaker, Han Yi gave Aunt Wang and the other young men an awkward smile, trying to salvage the situation: "My dad, well, he's so red it's almost black..."

Aunt Wang smiled calmly and said, "Everyone understands our trust in us. But Xiao Han, don't feel burdened. The reason we only signed a confidentiality agreement for the content of the conversation is because this matter is not mandatory, and we will not do anything against the will of the citizens or force them to make sacrifices. So you should put your own thoughts first. We fully respect your personal choice."

Han Yi thought for a moment, then pressed his advantage and asked in a low voice, "May I ask how many of those 50 randomly selected players were recruited like me?"

Aunt Wang raised an eyebrow, mimicking Han Yi's gesture, and covered her mouth with her hand, replying in a lower but still clear voice, "This is confidential information, but I can give you a vague answer as a favor, no more than 10."

“I still really want this opportunity,” Han Yi gritted his teeth, his toes in his slippers secretly scratching the soles. “After all, my dad is right. No matter what, as long as… it’s needed, I’ll definitely do my part.”

Aunt Wang pointed at Han Yi and praised him to the three young men who hadn't said a word, "Look at Han Yi's awareness, how high it is!"

Then she added, "Xiao Han, do you have any special plans for today? If not, why don't you come to our base this afternoon? It would be best to bring some basic necessities, since the server opens around midnight, so you might have to stay up late. The base provides basic necessities, but we're worried you might not be used to them. Also, we've transferred your student status directly to Jinghua University. Your major remains the same, but the courses will definitely have slight differences depending on the university. Oh, by the way, our base is in Beijing. Of course, if you want to go to N City, you can come back anytime during your break. We'll reimburse all your round-trip airfare and high-speed rail expenses."

Han Yi was a little surprised: "So in such a hurry?"

I didn't see any urgency in Aunt Wang's chat with him before.

Aunt Wang explained, "This is to make sure we can launch the server soon. Of course, if you think the time is too tight, we can postpone it for a couple of days. We can discuss this flexibly; it's not mandatory. Besides, it's normal for students to be a little confused when they first encounter this level of classified information. When I first learned about this project, I was also confused for several days! Or, if you want to take these few days to have some fun, meet up with your classmates, and relax, that's fine too."

Han Yi quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't make any plans. My classmates all went back to their hometowns for summer vacation, and I'll just play games at home anyway. It's the same as always. I'll pack up right away!"

Modern college students are all about being afraid of causing trouble for others. The more Aunt Wang said that, the more embarrassed Han Yi felt about delaying, and he even spent less than half an hour packing his luggage.

However, Han Yi, who responded so enthusiastically to the call, had no idea at this moment how bleak his future would be...

...A few hours later, Han Yi successfully checked into the "dormitory" with conditions comparable to a high-end hotel after signing the confidentiality agreement and various responsibility letters. He then registered a series of information with Aunt Wang and finally stood in a closed space the size of a basketball court, dumbfounded.

“Aunt Wang…”

Standing inside the "training hall," Han Yi looked at the weapon racks filled with various cold weapons and the enclosed space with a pile of sponge mats and sandbags. He swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly: "Are you sure... my mission is to play games?"

"Why do I have a martial arts instructor?"

Aunt Wang, who accompanied Han Yi to the training hall for registration, smiled, and winked mischievously, saying, "There's more than one!"

"Oh, Sister Wang is back so soon? This must be Xiao Han, hello, hello,"

Before Aunt Wang could finish speaking, a slightly overweight middle-aged man who didn't look like a martial arts expert at all hurriedly put down the sponge mat he was tidying up and walked over. He even took the initiative to shake hands with Han Yi and said kindly, "My surname is Ren. You can call me Coach Ren. I am your head coach. Although there will be at least three coaches in your martial arts training career, the other two will not arrive until next week. We can get to know each other better these few days."

Han Yi was already somewhat numb: "Three...three people?"

Coach Ren was amused by Han Yi's reaction and reassured him, "Haha, yes, besides me, there's also Master Chen and Coach Wang. But don't worry, you also have senior brothers and sisters, and there might be more fellow disciples in the future, so it's not just the three of us teaching you. However, your senior sister has some schedules recently and can only come to train with you next week."

"Okay, okay..."

Hearing that he wasn't the only one being trained, Han Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still looked at everything on the training field with some trepidation, feeling like he couldn't see enough with his eyes.

Coach Ren put his arm around Han Yi's thin shoulder and said with a smile, "How about this, before lunchtime, we do a quick familiarization with the training content? It'll be a lot of fun!"

Aunt Wang also encouraged him from the side: "Our Coach Ren is the top martial arts coach in China. Many of China's world champions were trained by Coach Ren. Since 12, Coach Ren has been hired as the head coach of China's martial arts training team. The opportunity for him to personally guide you is something that ordinary people really can't get!"

"Wow...wow—that's amazing!"

Han Yi, who almost blurted out a vulgar curse, quickly changed his tone and nearly bit his tongue.

"Oh, no, I was just lucky, haha..."
