On the sa day, in the Freshman Area of Yanhuang Soul.
"Have you heard? This year's first point assessnt for freshn seems to be an outdoor simulated combat exercise."
"Yeah, our instructor ntioned it too. They told us to train hard, but said that final confirmation will still take a while. However, the instructor privately hinted that this year's exercise will be different from previous ones, so we should always be prepared."
The so-called point training is the most direct way to beco a formal mber of Yanhuang Soul. In each assessnt training session, an individual's points are added to their assessnt scores.
Once a specific point is reached, one can enter the internal base of Yanhuang Soul. After a period of observation, they will be assigned to a team and can start going out on missions with the squad.
So, not all freshn can stay; every step is incredibly difficult.
And every ti a new exercise is introduced, the instructors will always inform the freshn in advance, before the final information cos out, to ntally prepare. As a result, the topic of the exercise spreads amongst the freshn, and everyone is eager to achieve better results in the new assessnt.
"What? Outdoor simulated combat exercise?"
On this side, Xiaofan and others also received the news. They couldn't understand why they had to join the exercise with the freshn. For Xiaofan and the others, it didn't seem to offer much growth experience.
It's not that Xiaofan looks down on these newcors. After all, every freshman able to enter Yanhuang Soul is a top soldier or a guy with special abilities, but even with their outstanding personal skills, there is still a significant gap compared to Xiaofan and his crew.
"Are you interested?"
"Not at all."
Facing Fan Lingtian's inquiry, Xiaofan didn't hesitate to answer. Their training schedule is already so tight, who would waste ti playing house with kids?
"Consider it as doing a favor. You also promised when you ca in." Fan Lingtian ca prepared, clearly predicting Xiaofan's outright refusal.
"But you also said the choice is ours. From my perspective, this kind of training is optional for us... unless you have a specific reason why we need to participate." Xiaofan said softly.
"Well, it's not that it's absolutely necessary for you to join. After all, the final exercise project hasn't been finalized. However, if you're willing to help, the project can be pretty much determined."
"Help?"
Xiaofan's confusion was normal, aning this exercise wasn't prepared for Xiaofan and his team, but was to have them assist in assessing the freshn.
"Yes, the past years' outdoor combat exercises have been too traditional, due to limited facilities. So, since you guys are here, I wanted your help. Let's see how many of these newcors have the chance to stay." Fan Lingtian continued.
"Tell about the exercise content." Xiaofan seed slightly interested.
It's not that he's interested in the exercise, but he thinks nurturing more talent for Yanhuang Soul is a good thing. So, facing such a request, he wouldn't refuse.
"If you guys are willing to help, you'll play the role of criminals. Then, all the freshn will go into the mountains to find you. What you need to do is take them down one by one, collect their number tags, and see which of these freshn catch your interest, then separate their tags."
Xiaofan realized this was just playing a cops and robbers ga, but Fan Lingtian's suggestion was quite good. It could assess the capabilities of these freshn from various aspects, a ticulously planned effort indeed.
"What's the ti limit? Will everything we need be provided?" Xiaofan continued to ask.
"The ti limit is three days. Facing all the freshn won't be easy for you either, so you can make any requests. We'll do our best to et them."
"Three days?"
Honestly, surviving three days in the mountains is no small physical challenge. And there's also the challenge of being surrounded by so many freshn.
"So, their goal is to find us. And we need to hide well, avoid direct confrontation, and take down anyone who's isolated, right?" Li San asked softly.
"Exactly."
"Hey, it sounds pretty interesting. Xiaofan, I'm fine with it." Li San laughed.
Everyone else had endured so many days of combat training and was evidently eager to try a new training approach.
"Do we have any special requirents?" Xiaofan asked again.
"Well, just go easy on them. Don't break those little ones. Besides that, I have a special request for you." Fan Lingtian looked directly at Xiaofan.
"?"
"Yes. For this exercise, you can't join the fight. We will set up a command center for you, and you can command from there. But you can't leave a 300-ter radius around the command center."
"What? So if they're attacking the command center, I can't fight back?" Xiaofan pouted.
"You can use a gun." Fan Lingtian continued.
"Fine, I'll use a gun. Anyone else have any opinions? If not, then that's settled."
The team's strength might be significantly reduced without Xiaofan participating in the fight. But no matter how weakened, the strength of Li San and the others is a factor. It's not sothing the newcors can easily overco.
But Xiaofan's previous antics of sneaking into Yanhuang Soul were vivid in Fan Lingtian's mory. More than half the official mbers of Yanhuang Soul had co out to encircle him, yet he still managed to escape. Gosh, letting him play around with the freshn like that might just overwhelm them.
"Elder Fan, can I join too?"
Just when everyone had no objections, Shen Zuimo suddenly spoke up.
Indeed, everyone imdiately turned to look at Shen Zuimo. She had beco interested in this exercise.
"Hmm? Alright. We can let you have one more person." Fan Lingtian smiled gently, clearly agreeing.
Shen Zuimo actually wanted to accompany Xiaofan's team to see how they execute their plans. At the sa ti, she wanted to test her own abilities.
"Um, Elder Fan, can we join in on the fun too?" Over here, Shen Junjie asked with a mischievous grin.
"Fun? Haven't you had enough fun yet? You guys are running here every day, and you have a mission in Vietnam tomorrow." Fan Lingtian gave Shen Junjie and the others a sideways glance, then turned to Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, if there's nothing else, I'll be off."
"Hey, one more thing, how many freshn are there this year?"
"Oh, not many. Two hundred and sixty-eight."
