I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 22 Military Training
After meal.

Chen Yan casually swung his racket and asked, "Are you going to play badminton later?"

"I went to ask, and the stadium won't open until next Monday. It's been closed for the next few days." Shen Dong paused, as if he had something else to say.

"I see." Because his back was to Shen Dong, Chen Yan did not notice anything unusual about the other man.

"Brother Yan, I probably won't be able to play badminton with you this semester." Shen Dong said somewhat apologetically, "I might have to spend some time with my girlfriend every night from now on..."

"I see." Chen Yan didn't think much of Shen Dong not wanting to be his basketball partner anymore, since it wasn't like Shen Dong suddenly stood him up.

What truly intrigued Chen Yan was...

"Your girlfriend didn't ask you to spend every night with her before, so why has her attitude suddenly changed?"

"Oh, I wasn't talking about her." Shen Dong scratched his head and said, "Didn't I tell you before that I dated a junior in my senior year of high school? After I came here, I broke up with her."

She didn't do well on her exams last year, so she repeated a year. This year she did well and got into the Chinese Language and Literature program at Jianghai University, which is located on the Xixi campus right next to us.

“Xixi Campus? That’s pretty close to us, only a little over a kilometer away, I think.” Chen Yan looked at Shen Dong and teased, “You really are something else. I remember you dumped her right after the exams, and now you’re together again?”

“Since we lived so far apart and could only see each other once a month, I might as well have broken it off sooner.” Shen Dong chuckled. “I went back to my hometown during the summer vacation and ran into her. We chatted for a while and got back together.”

"You can even get involved in this? Being handsome isn't everything."

"Brother Yan, don't underestimate yourself. You're just as good-looking as me now." Halfway through his sentence, Shen Dong paused, then asked with some doubt:

"Wait a minute, I don't remember you being this handsome before. Skincare products couldn't possibly have such amazing effects!"

“I’ve always been like this. I guess we’ve lived here for so long that you didn’t notice,” Chen Yan said in an extremely honest tone. “If you don’t believe me, just consider it as me going through a second puberty.”

Shen Dong: "..."

As the two were chatting casually, the curly-haired man... Pan Yang, suddenly asked, "Brother Yan, Brother Dong, aren't you taking a shower now?"

He and Qi Li had just returned from a class meeting, covered in sweat, and wanted to take a good shower before lying in bed playing on their phones.

"No, I'm not going to shower." Chen Yan shook his head and then said, "If you want to take a shower now, I suggest you wait a while."

"Huh?" Pan Yang was taken aback and asked, "There's no hot water right now?"

"There is hot water, but you'll be going to military training soon," Chen Yan added. "You'll be sweating anyway, so you might as well shower later."

Chen Yan's words stunned Qi Li and Pan Yang, who were standing nearby. After about two or three seconds, Pan Yang asked somewhat blankly, "Didn't they say military training would start tomorrow?"

"They say military training is tomorrow, but if nothing unexpected happens, the instructors are already here, just waiting to give you a hard time later."

After saying that, Chen Yan turned to Shen Dong and asked, "Back then, the instructors seemed to arrive around 7:30, right?"

"Almost." Shen Dong glanced at his watch and continued, "It's already 7:25. In another five minutes you should receive a message requiring you to put on your military training uniforms and arrive at the drill ground within thirty minutes."

"Let's get ready, so we don't end up in a panic."

Chen Yan "kindly" urged him on, which, while not exactly gloating, did have a hint of the wicked humor of "I've been rained on, so you can forget about having an umbrella too."

To be fair, the intensity of the school's military training wasn't that high... but in temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius, you'd break out in a sweat if you stood outside for a while, let alone wearing such a thick military training uniform.

When Chen Yan received the message late at night to go to the playground for military training, he cursed the school while getting dressed.

Not long after they finished speaking, Qi Li and Pan Yang received messages from the class group chat on their phones. They grumbled as they put on their military training uniforms and left the dormitory shortly after. ...

The gymnasium is closed, and the playground has been used for military training, so we can't exercise tonight.

Chen Yan opened his laptop and began typing away.

Towards the end of the book, updates became as sporadic as constipation. Even with the five times the typing speed provided by the [Tentacle Monster], Chen Yan could only write about five thousand words per hour.

At the same time, Chen Yan's problem of "starting strong but finishing weak" has also fully surfaced. At least there are more comments in the comment section about "declining performance" and "lack of exciting moments". The reason why the overall evaluation is still good is entirely due to Chen Yan's large volume of updates.

"You're typing again?" Hearing the clicking of the keyboard, Shen Dong casually asked, "How's the new book doing?"

"That's fine, I'll just accept the full attendance bonus and consider it a way to earn some living expenses." Chen Yan was very secretive about the issue of royalties, and no matter who asked, he always said he only accepted the full attendance bonus.

"That's pretty good. Right now, I still have to rely on my parents for living expenses."

After finishing writing, Chen Yan closed his laptop, took a shower, soaked his clothes, and then went to bed to play on his phone.

When it was 9:30, Qi Li and Pan Yang finally finished their evening military training and walked into their dormitory covered in sweat, taking turns to take a shower.

……

Lights out promptly at 10:30.

Pan Yang originally wanted to play games a little longer, but seeing that his other three roommates were already in bed, he hesitated for a long time before finally deciding not to risk offending them on his first day of school and reluctantly went to bed.

only……

After all, she usually went to bed at three or four o'clock every day during the summer vacation. One day, she went to bed at ten-thirty, but Pan Yang tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He opened his eyes and looked around the somewhat quiet dormitory room, then suddenly asked, "Um, are you guys asleep?"

"No."

The other three all gave the same answer.

Seeing that everyone was still awake, Pan Yang got excited and started complaining about the school.

"What a garbage school! Conducting military training late at night, giving the freshmen a hard time right from the start. I'm so pissed off, the school leaders are really incompetent."

"I should have applied to another university. Even a dog wouldn't go to this school."

"Wow." Chen Yan didn't participate in the discussion, but was somewhat impressed by Pan Yang's "fierceness".

One sentence dragged in the other three roommates, and even himself, into the mess...

"Actually, the school is alright. Not many people from our school can get into here," Qi Li interjected.

Pan Yang was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Not many people get into this school... Qi Li, where are you from?"

“From Huiyang.”

"Your place is poor, so the educational resources are bad," Pan Yang said bluntly.
