"He was an insecure and sensitive child who often felt deeply guilty for not being strong enough to protect the people around him. I saw him secretly hiding in a corner of the rooftop and crying several times."
Li Liang, who was eavesdropping outside the tent, said with a moved expression, "See? I told you Brother Shen is the gentlest person in the world."
Deng Wei: He really... I'm crying my eyes out!
The instructors were having a blast watching the drama unfold; all the revelations from everyone else tonight combined weren't as explosive as what Gu Tianchen had said alone.
But as Instructor Han was laughing, he suddenly felt something was off. This kid had been talking about other people's secrets for so long, but he hadn't mentioned a single thing about himself.
Han Li walked up to Gu Tianchen and asked, "And you, what are your special quirks?"
"I……"
"I'm just an ordinary-looking man, like Louis Koo, with no special quirks," Gu Tianchen replied seriously.
"Don't you have a girl you like?"
"No."
"Where is the young woman?"
"A young married woman is fine, preferably a rich lady with fair skin, a beautiful face, long legs, a curvy figure, and a love for kissing." Gu Tianchen's lips curled up slightly.
"Good heavens, you're eating and taking things at the same time?!"
……
dorm room.
The instructors prepared a tub of medicinal bath for each person; it was a dark green color and emitted a strange smell.
Only Gu Tianchen's bathtub was black and red, which was considered compensation from the instructors for giving him three times the weight.
Cao Yuan was already soaking in the bathtub, his eyes closed, thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Ah~"
The moment Gu Tianchen entered the bathtub, he felt as if all the meridians in his body had been opened up, and warm currents washed over his limbs and bones.
It seems that under the influence of this medicinal bath, cultivating the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Gu Tianchen tried circulating his profound energy, and sure enough, his cultivation speed was much faster than usual.
As the profound energy circulated, white smoke began to rise from Gu Tianchen's body, and the medicinal soup in the bathtub began to bubble.
As the commotion grew louder, the dark red medicinal soup in Gu Tianchen's bathtub began to boil, and the entire room was enveloped in white steam.
Cao Yuan opened his eyes and was startled, thinking he had walked into a bathhouse.
Looking at Gu Tianchen, who was about to burst into flames, Cao Yuan asked, "Tianchen, are you alright?"
But the other person seemed not to hear him, keeping their eyes tightly closed, as if they had entered a meditative state.
Cao Yuan knew that this was because Gu Tianchen, a martial arts prodigy, had reached a certain level in cultivating his divine skills, and he should not be disturbed at this time.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Gu Tianchen's snoring reached Cao Yuan's ears with a clear, melodious sound...
Cao Yuan was speechless. Okay, I guess I was overthinking it...
"Ah~"
"That was a really good sleep."
Gu Tianchen stretched and felt more refreshed than ever before.
"Are you awake?"
Having not slept all night, Cao Yuan, sitting on the bed with dark circles under his eyes, asked.
"Mmm, this medicinal bath is so comfortable. I wish I could have one every night."
"Is the cafeteria open?" Gu Tianchen asked.
"It's open. I heard it's soy milk with fried dough sticks and tea eggs," Cao Yuan replied.
"Let's go grab something to eat," Gu Tianchen invited.
"You might not be able to get out now..."
Cao Yuan pointed to the dormitory entrance.
Gu Tianchen turned to look at the door and saw Lin Qiye, Baili Pangpang, and even Shen Qingzhu from the next dormitory building standing at the door, their faces gloomy and their eyes filled with murderous intent.
After several new recruits spread the word overnight, all the new recruits in the training camp now know what Gu Tianchen said last night.
The three of them rubbed their hands together, eager to get started, and slowly walked towards Gu Tianchen in the bathtub.
"No, you are all my dearest friends and family, brothers and sisters. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us..." Gu Tianchen smiled as he looked at the three men who seemed to have ill intentions.
"No misunderstanding, I hit you!"
Shen Qingzhu took the lead, and the other two quickly followed, pinning Gu Tianchen down in the bathtub and giving him a good beating.
"You like smelling feet, huh?!"
"You're a cross-dresser, huh?!"
"You're insecure and sensitive, aren't you?!"
"Don't hit my face! Don't hit my face!"
"Old Cao, why aren't you making a move?" Baili Pangpang looked at Cao Yuan, who was deep in thought on the bed.
Cao Yuan asked with a puzzled look, "I'm wondering... who is Bai Jie?"
Lin Qiye rolled his eyes. "Don't even think about it. That stuff won't work on this kid. He made up everything he said last night."
"what?!"
Cao Yuan was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
He hadn't slept all night, constantly wondering who Bai Jie was. Turns out, there was no such person at all; it was all made up by that kid Gu Tianchen!
Cao Yuan silently got out of bed and rolled up his sleeves.
"Gentlemen, please make way for me."
Four people held Gu Tianchen down and beat him mercilessly.
Chapter 39 The Best Strategies Are Without Techniques
canteen.
With panda eyes, Gu Tianchen devoured meat buns one after another, which pleased Old Sun.
"Young man, you have a good appetite. Here, have another steamer of buns." Old Sun smiled and patted Gu Tianchen on the back, placing another steamer of hot buns on the table.
"Thank you, Elder Sun. You're such a kind person," Gu Tianchen said, moved, after being beaten up by Lin Qiye and his three companions.
Baili Pangpang reached for the meat bun, but Gu Tianchen slapped it away with his paw. With two meat buns stuffed in his mouth, Gu Tianchen let out a beast-like growl, his eyes fixed on Pangpang.
"Wow, so possessive of its food?"
The surrounding recruits pointed and whispered about Lin Qiye and his group, some even laughing so hard they spat out their soy milk.
Lin Qiye looked at Gu Tianchen, his eyes filled with undisguised malice.
"Have one, to calm down?" Gu Tianchen handed him a meat bun.
Lin Qiye rolled his eyes. "Eat quickly, the instructor wants to talk to us after we finish."
"What's the matter?"
What do you think?
Gu Tianchen suddenly remembered that the instructors had promised to fulfill the promise Wang Mian made back then.
"go!"
Gu Tianchen pushed the remaining meat buns to Fatty, then pulled Lin Qiye towards the instructor's office.
While eating a meat bun, Baili Pangpang asked, "Where did they go?"
"They left Jinan Mountain last night, probably to receive an award," Cao Yuan said casually.
"They walked out?! Weren't they all carried out after they fainted?" Baili Pangpang looked shocked.
"You think everyone's like you? You fat bastard who likes to smell feet," Cao Yuan mocked.
"Who are you calling 'wife Cao'? Believe me or not, I'll pull out my greatsword and chop you to death!" Baili Pangpang said angrily.
……
Instructor's office.
Instructor Hong frowned as he looked at Gu Tianchen's panda eyes. "What happened to you?"
Gu Tianchen chuckled, "It's nothing, it's all thanks to the kindness of my brothers..."
Ouch... Shen Qingzhu, that hothead, really knows how to beat someone up when he catches them! If it weren't for my thick skin, I'd be soaking in a medicinal bath to heal my wounds right now.
Thinking back to Gu Tianchen's revelation last night, Instructor Hong naturally understood what had happened.
"You two are here to receive an award, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"You two are really capable. There aren't many people who can squeeze money out of Chief Yuan."
Instructor Hong took out two envelopes and pushed two boxes in front of the two men respectively.
"Each person receives 500,000, which adds up to a full million. This amount is indeed a bit too much. Inside each envelope are bank cards with 300,000 each, and the PINs are written on the back."
Gu Tianchen opened the envelope, took out his bank card, and began silently memorizing the PIN.
Lin Qiye looked at the bank card in his hand, "You mean this money was paid by Instructor Yuan Gang himself?"
“Yes, it was his idea to bring in the Masked Squad. The rewards you have were all paid for by him personally. Our instructors wanted to help him, but they didn’t agree,” Instructor Hong said.
Lin Qiye silently put the bank card back on the table and pushed it to Instructor Hong.
"I don't want this money."
Instructor Hong was taken aback. "What, you think our instructor team didn't keep its word? How about this, the other instructors will make up the rest of the money for you."
