Yan Three looked viciously at this major who caused him to disgrace himself. However, no matter how much he glared at him, the major was seemingly not affected at all. He just continued to smile gently at him.
Yan Three took his new number and went back to join the crowd. The members of Evil Wind exchanged glances with each other. Finally, one of them took his first step forward. Soon, all the members of Evil Wind got their new numbers.
The major continued, "Since everyone got their new numbers, I will now announce what you will be doing for the next period of time. Don't think that everything will be fine after getting your numbers. This is just the start. You will need to work hard to protect your number. You will be eliminated after failing three times to complete your mission or test. The eliminated people…" The major then gave an evil smile before he continued, "Unfortunately, will have to go back to the medical department and become the talent the head of the medical department is looking for." What he meant was, they still couldn't escape their fate of becoming guinea pigs if they do not work hard.
The members of Evil Wind got a shock. They put aside their anger and started to listen to the major attentively. They were afraid that they would miss something and get eliminated because of it.
Yan Three was shocked too. However, his reason was different. He was shocked by how eloquent the major was. Each scheme was sneakily sowed in between his sentences, making him not have time to think carefully. Firstly, the other party gave him an opening gambit, destroying his reputation and lowering his position in the hearts of his team members. Next, he shifted the attention of his team members away from the anger and frustration of changing their numbers. All his team members were now focused on the missions and tasks they were assigned to.When everyone focused on completing missions to prevent them from getting eliminated, the hatred and anger caused by destroying their mecha team would subside as time goes by. In the end, all the negative emotions towards 250 Ace Mecha Clan would disappear.
"From today onwards, this will be your daily mission."
"You will wake up at 6 am and have breakfast at 6.15 am. Breakfast will be held at the logistician canteen. If you are not sure where it is located, please find a logistician and ask him for a map."
"At 6.30 am, even if you are not full, you must gather at the training ground and run two hours with weights on. At the start, we will only put 15kg on you so that you can get used to it."
"After running for two hours, you will go through our special training." The masked major gave an evil smile again. "This special training has another name. We call it The Living Hell. I sincerely hope that you all will have the energy to crawl out of the training ground after that."
As the major recited the mission, the expressions of the people continuously turned more complex after every sentence. They didn't know if they should retaliate or obediently go through The Living Hell. The name of this training was enough to send a chill down their spines. Of course, the two hours of running was enough to tire them out already.
"You will only have the right to eat lunch after you completed all these missions. I hope that you can do this, as there will be even worse things waiting for you in the afternoon. I highly suspect that some of you will use up your three chances on the first day.""Okay, the time is 8 am now. It's slightly later than the time we said just now, so we will spare you today. There will be no The Living Hell today, but you still have to complete the two-hour run." The masked major kindly gave the members of Evil Wind a let off. Yan Three looked at him with suspicion. He felt that this let off was a trap. However, he couldn't determine what the trap it was.
"Qi Long, Xie Yi, you two will lead them to the training ground." The masked major finished speaking to the members of Evil Wind and started talking to the two medics beside him.
"Why is it us again?" Qi Long asked unhappily.
"Li Lanfeng, you can't push your responsibilities to us," Xie Yi refuted. He wanted to take off his medic uniform already.
"I'm not pushing my responsibilities away. The regiment commander wanted me to tell you two that he is waiting for you two at the training ground." Li Lanfeng was schadenfreude. "You two hadn't trained for three days, right?"
Xie Yi and Qi Long's face turned pale. Li Shiyu gave them so much work that they didn't have the time to train their team. They thought their Boss would not notice such small matters but he did. Not only did he notice it, but he was also planning to punish them personally at the training ground. Xie Yi and Qi Long felt that they were going to die today.
"I wish you two good luck!" Li Lanfeng patted their shoulders and disappear instantaneously.
Li Lanfeng was very busy too. His team had its own mission. It was as bad as Qi Long and Xie Yi.
Military cook. This sounded like an easy job. They just had to cook some food. How hard could it be. However, the agile mecha operators almost destroyed the entire kitchen while they were trying to cook. The old military cooks looked at them with disdain. If they weren't mecha operators, the old military cooks might have scolded them already. Oh, these military cooks hated people who wasted food.
Just as the mecha operators were about to breakdown from the torment and embarrassment, (It couldn't be helped. They really couldn't cook. The food was either raw or burnt. If it was cooked properly, there would always be a problem with its taste. It was either too bland or too salty. All in all, these powerful mecha operators couldn't cook at all.) their life savior arrived.
'This is bad.' When Li Lanfeng walked into the kitchen, he could already feel the depressing atmosphere in there. He was afraid that after they finished this temporary job, his mecha operators wouldn't be able to operate their mechas anymore. Hence, he had no choice but to do it himself.
Fortunately, Li Lanfeng had some cooking talent, he managed to make a delicious dish in his first try. The military cooks complimented him and his team members looked at him with admiration. They didn't expect their team leader to be so good at cooking.
Li Lanfeng helped his mecha operators gained some of their confidence back. At the same time, all his team members finally acknowledged him as their team leader. They didn't look down on his weak and skinny frame anymore. This was an unexpected outcome for Li Lanfeng.
Li Lanfeng was surprised. Although this was not a generic way to obtain respect in the military, he didn't mind. According to what Ling Lan said, any cat that can catch mice is a good cat. Similarly, any method that could help him gain the recognition of these experienced mecha operators was a good method.
