Chapter 81: Evening Of The First Day Of Field Training
In the end, it wasn’t until the evening disbandment that Xiang Chuan’s eyes fully recovered.
For this reason, Liang Gong and Chou Manman felt very sorry for her that she didn’t get to see the forest, but Xiang Chuan didn’t mind this at all.
It had been less than a few months since returning to her hometown in her previous life. Her hometown had many mountains and woods, and she had seen them for more than twenty years from childhood until she started working and entered the concrete forest, which distanced her a bit from the green woods in the mountains. But she still went back during holidays, so for her, the forest wasn’t some rare thing yet.
On the contrary, the terrain of the forest caught her attention more. There was no choice; it was for the safety of her meal box.
“Ainuo did make a record,” Ouyang Yating reminded.
Whatever she was afraid of would come!
Complain as she might, for the sake of the meal box, Xiang Chuan still gritted her teeth and shook off Ainuo, who was looking at her smugly.
“Hmm… what to do~ Should I give it or not~”
Perhaps to vent about the afternoon assembly, Ainuo’s tone was extremely punchable. Xiang Chuan clenched her fist several times, nearly punching over.
She managed to hold back her fist anyway, then Xiang Chuan raised an eyebrow: “If you give me the topographic record, I’ll let you eat lunch.”
Thus, Ainuo’s smugness lasted less than five minutes before it ended with the person involved bending for two dou of millet.
No problem, just consider it an equal exchange. Ainuo thought to himself while slicing the fish fillet, hinting to himself that this absolutely wasn’t because he couldn’t get revenge for the afternoon’s arrow and was still brooding over it. Absolutely not.
“The north side is indeed good.” Xiang Chuan looked at the topographic map converted by Ainuo using the holographic camera and nodded. Although she had completely returned geographical knowledge like terrain latitudes and longitudes to her high school teacher, she still had some impression of general geographical knowledge. From the topographic map, the north side was indeed the best staging area. “Have we decided on the north side?”
“Not yet. After dinner, the class presidents from each class will gather at the sports field for drawing lots. Then we can see where we draw.” As she spoke, Nancy opened the teaching program on the light screen, which indicated that the class areas hadn’t been assigned yet.
“Sigh… Pray that the class president’s luck is better.” Chou Manman patted Xiang Chuan’s shoulder. “You’re probably the one in the whole grade most concerned about the staging area location.”
Xiang Chuan raised an eyebrow: “Then after tomorrow, don’t come to my place to mooch food.”
As soon as she said this, the playful expressions on everyone’s faces instantly turned serious:
“Class President Lu Daiqing must draw the north area.”
“Our respected class president will have great luck.”
“I can ask the Information Technology Club people to see if they can get first-hand information.”
“We can think of ways to camouflage the meal box or something…”
Concerning the desire for food for the next week, everyone now had to get serious. The more they talked later, the more outrageous it got, even saying things like “ask the Information Technology Club to tamper with the drawing lots results in the background.” Xiang Chuan broke out in a sweat listening.
This is a military base! Not a school club! How could they just casually modify it like that!
While the students in the training base dormitory in the nature reserve were chatting enthusiastically about the next day’s Class Competition, in the villa area nearly half a main ship away from the nature reserve, in the entertainment room of the Xiang Family Mansion, Xiang Xue and Xiang Qi were also chatting animatedly about the latest two episodes of Empresses in the Palace, with Lin Ming occasionally chiming in to share his viewing experience.
[Young Master Xiang Qi, Miss Xiang Xue, Young Master Lin Ming, it’s rest time now. Please return to your rooms to wash up.]
The starfish servant cleaning up snack crumbs nearby reminded them.
“Eh, so soon?” Xiang Xue checked the time, which clearly showed nine-thirty. “Ah—feels like it’s not enough!”
“This is also for the sake of health.” Seeing his sister’s entangled little expression, Xiang Qi couldn’t help but smile.
“Two episodes a day just isn’t enough. Sister won’t let me play these at school either.” Xiang Xue pouted, expressing dissatisfaction.
“That’s normal,” Lin Ming agreed. “If you brought this image to school, students from all classes would probably crush our class door. Even Aunt, as the Director of Cultural Affairs Bureau, can’t resist its attraction, let alone our peers?”
“That’s the reasoning, but I’m still not willing.” Xiang Xue sighed and turned off the big screen and live stream room.
As the three were about to stand up, Xiang Xue’s terminal suddenly sounded with a notification of an incoming communication. Xiang Xue puzzledly opened the light screen.
Ever since starting the live stream, she had suddenly attracted many audience fans, all eagerly exchanging contact info with Xiang Xue. At first, Xiang Xue gave it to everyone she met.
Later, there were too many people, and fan communications received outside live stream times nearly burst her inbox. She had no choice but to apologize one by one and clear out people she didn’t know, leaving only family, close classmates, good friends, or her live stream room maintenance team, and set personal message hiding so strangers couldn’t search for her signal.
Who would send it at this time… First, it definitely wasn’t the friends from class; everyone was getting ready for bed now, probably being nagged by home servant robots or parents to wash up and sleep just like her. So the remaining possibility was…
Opening the communication light screen, sure enough, it was Mother.
What Lin Minzhi sent was a text communication with an attached document file. Xiang Xue curiously opened it, her eyes growing brighter the more she read, nearly jumping up from her seat midway, which also drew Xiang Qi and Lin Ming’s attention.
“Xiao Xue?”
“What’s wrong?”
Xiang Xue chuckled, signed on the document, sent it back to Lin Minzhi, then bounced off the sofa and left the entertainment room. Xiang Qi and Lin Ming looked at each other: What was this about?
At this time, Lin Minzhi in her personal study on the third floor of the Xiang Family Mansion received her youngest daughter’s reply. She opened the document and saw the final signature, couldn’t help but smile.
[Looks like a reply worth celebrating?]
The person on the video communication light screen on the desk laughed.
“Yes, just as I said earlier, our little daughter will definitely agree.” Lin Minzhi smiled, copied the signed document, and sent it over.
The person opposite opened their terminal light screen, confirmed the final signature, nodded, then laughed:
[I wonder what expressions the students will have when they find out. They probably won’t get the message until after the Confrontation Match ends.]
“Before that, this project of ours will undoubtedly cause a sensation.” Lin Minzhi smiled slightly. “Now, everything is ready; just waiting for tomorrow’s arrival.”
