CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 71: STIRRING THINGS UP_3

Suddenly, the tedious military training became a lot more interesting. Not only did the instructors take notice, but the students nearby were also full of anticipation.

The instructor was about to call it nonsense—where did the playing cards come from during military training?

But then he saw an instructor from three departments away run over, pulling out a deck of playing cards from his pocket:

"Use this first; I was planning to add extra training for everyone today."

As he spoke, he laughed, enjoying the show.

Chu River thought to himself, I "foresaw" this coming, otherwise, I wouldn’t have made the suggestion.

The students who escaped extra training—there’s no denying it, this girl is a true benefactor.

The expression of the short guy beside them turned stiff.

But since Chu River could make such a suggestion, he didn’t dare show fear either. Now, he proudly and loudly said, "Reporting to officer, I can do it!"

"Of course." Chu River maintained his stance but his lips emitted an old raspy voice.

"A grown man claiming he can’t do it, he should save some face."

The short guy was very angry, yet unable to move, so he was trapped in a fit of helpless rage.

The playing cards were quickly unwrapped, the instructor took a deck and stood between the two, but his eyes were fixed on Chu River: "Confirm 15 cards?"

"Confirmed."

Now the instructor was also energized.

One card on the back of the neck, one on the chin, six cards in each hand, and one between the knees...

Perfect!

When all 30 cards were evenly distributed between the two students, the short guy tensed all his muscles.

He didn’t even dare look at the girl beside him, because just by the pleasure in her voice as she spoke, it was clear she was at ease.

Isn’t that right?

Confident as ever, Chu proposed a terrifying suggestion:

"Reporting to officer, this is a friendly exchange to deepen ties between our two departments as well as a test of male and female stamina! To ensure fairness, I propose that for every fallen card within an hour, there will be an additional 10 minutes of training, and those who fail to complete it are not allowed to rest."

Who knows how she managed to produce such a bright voice without dropping any of the cards from her body... Anyway, the short guy was frozen stiff.

At this moment, his sore calves relaxed slightly, and the card between his knees began to quiver.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew by.

Previously, the short guy had been eagerly awaiting the wind’s arrival, at least it could dispel some of the heat—although summer winds were hot themselves.

But now, this accursed hot wind not only blew away the card from his knees, but also the cards on his left and right hands, perched between his middle and ring fingertips, all fell instantly!

Standing in the same military stance, with the same tense body that couldn’t move, in the same poised height, nonetheless, the cool voice of the girl beside him came through—

"Oh my, you’ve already accumulated half an hour."

And the officer’s jovial reprimand: "No chatting allowed."

The short guy: "..."

...

6:10 in the evening.

Chu River was already holding a full tray of food, having found a spot, while the boys from the engineering department were still hesitating, and the girls from the math department had already gathered around her with their trays.

The girl who fainted, Li Yiwan, was indeed allergic, but not to ultraviolet light, rather a slight heatstroke combined with a sunscreen allergy. After applying some recovery ointment at the medical center, she was better and could resume training tomorrow.

Hearing this news, Chu River nodded—she had "seen" it in the afternoon, everything was fine.

Meanwhile, the girls from the math department looked at her with admiration:

"Chu River, you are amazing."

With this dinner’s spreading news and the lone short guy standing in the training field, by tonight, Chu Fa Da’s name would be known by everyone.

Chu River had grown tired of such praises.

She scooped up a piece of potato-based pork with her spoon, and accepted such accolades as a matter of course.

"Indeed, I am quite amazing, so don’t mess with me, or I don’t care if you’re male or female, I’ll beat you the same."

—Cool!

This was meant to be a serious warning, but surprisingly, the girls looked at her with bright eyes, thinking that a girl with brains, strength, and such a cool personality was so attractive and secure!

The atmosphere suddenly became even more lively.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the hefty master pressed his tray down firmly, and laughed at the officers serving nearby: "How about that? Didn’t I say, she’s our military material!"

Fifteen playing cards in an hour of military stance, and by rule, each card only had a single corner touching the body—

If you don’t have some skill, it’s not something ordinary people can do!

But the engineering department instructor just smirked—

"Come on now, her brain is meant for scientific research, while we, the rough ones, have to fight hard. In twenty years, maybe we’ll get the chance to be her security!"
