Chapter 102: I’ve Rebelled!
“Then hurry up and tell me!”
The Assassin was thinking of strangling Chang Ning right now. He never expected Chang Ning to be this kind of person.
At the same time, he felt a bit fortunate that he had weeded out this thick-browed, big-eyed guy in advance. If he had really been selected into Wolf Fang, given this guy’s behavior, Chang Ning could have wrecked Wolf Fang!
This thought wasn’t just the Assassin’s; the Wolf Fang Instructors were all thinking the same.
Meanwhile, Gao Zhong Dui didn’t want to see Chang Ning anymore and had left. He was probably isolating himself in some corner right now.
Among the Instructors, who didn’t know that Gao Zhong Dui thought very highly of Chang Ning? But after this incident, his heart was truly broken.
“You guys prepare the money for me first.”
Seeing Chang Ning’s money-grubbing look disgusted the Assassin and Vulture, who were handling the Interrogation.
“Name a number, and we’ll scrape it together for you.”
The Assassin suppressed the urge to stab Chang Ning to death and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.
If his Headset were removed, one would surely see that the Assassin’s expression was extremely vivid.
“Give me fifty million Dollars.”
Chang Ning said with a cheeky grin.
Hearing Chang Ning casually ask for fifty million Dollars, how could they not know that Chang Ning was just playing with them?
Even if Chang Ning’s Intelligence was worth fifty million Dollars, they couldn’t come up with that much. It wasn’t waste paper they could print as much as they wanted.
Chang Ning didn’t know their Reaction, but in his heart, he was laughing his head off.
Knowing the truth, he was directly teasing the Instructors. As long as he didn’t tell them what they wanted to know, he would be fine. At most, he’d endure some Pain as early adaptation to professional Benefits.
“Fine, you’ve got guts, kid!”
The Assassin spoke lightly; he was happy as long as the kid could endure it.
Gao Zhong Dui didn’t even know what to say about Chang Ning right now. Still, this guy knew how to play. It had made his emotions like a roller coaster, up and down, super thrilling.
“I told you Chang Ning is reliable when it comes to major issues.”
As soon as Gray Wolf Mada said this, he immediately received disdain from a bunch of Comrades. His expression earlier hadn’t been any better than Gao Zhong Dui’s.
Putting on hindsight here without any shame.
“Recently, I looked into your country’s punishments, like skinning and stuffing with grass, lighting heavenly lanterns, and such. It really opened my eyes.”
Vulture deliberately lowered his voice and leaned close to Chang Ning as he spoke.
To be honest, if he didn’t know this was Training, Chang Ning would have bitten off this guy’s nose no matter what.
“I know about skinning and stuffing with grass. During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with those corrupt officials that way.”
Vulture had intended to scare the kid, but who knew Chang Ning could calmly educate him on it.
No! Something was very wrong!
Chang Ning’s Reaction was off; this didn’t seem like a captive’s Reaction at all. Which captive could face torture with a smile and chat casually with the executioners?
Vulture and the Assassin exchanged a glance; they realized the severity of the problem.
If the Training had been figured out by Chang Ning, then this Training would have no meaning at all.
Now that everyone knew they were in cahoots, they definitely wouldn’t be afraid and wouldn’t reveal any Intelligence.
The Assassin decided to Probe a bit.
“But given that you have the Intelligence I want, we won’t kill you.
So skinning and stuffing with grass won’t happen to you, but you should know that sometimes living is more Painful than dying.
Last time I’m asking: will you talk or not?”
“I want to talk, but you guys don’t have enough money.”
Chang Ning looked extremely wronged. He wanted to talk, but the two weren’t giving him the Opportunity.
His Intelligence was so important; how could he reveal it easily? He had to get some Benefit.
Seeing Chang Ning so uncooperative, the Assassin had no choice but to take off Chang Ning’s shoes together with Vulture.
The moment the shoes were removed, a sour stench filled the Interrogation room.
Facing Chang Ning’s bare feet directly, the Assassin and Vulture’s eyes were even teary from the smell.
The Rookies, as trainees, ran dozens of kilometers every day, so that smell was self-evident. Chang Ning hadn’t expected the two Instructors to actually remove his shoes, leaving him completely unprepared. He felt quite embarrassed, since the smell from his feet was indeed unpleasant.
“Don’t know if you’re afraid of tickling?”
The Assassin said darkly.
“Of course I’m afraid, but even if you tickle me to death today, I won’t betray my Comrades or say a word!”
What righteous indignation!
But no one appreciated Chang Ning’s Acting.
Whether the Instructors or the Assassin and Vulture as Interrogators, they all understood Chang Ning’s personality.
They all knew Chang Ning’s personality wouldn’t say such lofty words.
Either Chang Ning had figured out this was Training, or he was a genius who knew how to deal with Interrogators without being taught. Someone like that didn’t need this kind of Training at all.
So, was Chang Ning a genius?
From certain behaviors, this guy was undoubtedly a genius, but saying Chang Ning knew how to deal with Interrogators was pure nonsense.
First, Chang Ning’s current age meant he lacked enough life experience to master such a skill. Second, there was no place for him to learn it—who would Interrogate a worthless young man for no reason?
Just for his New Year’s money? The cost wouldn’t match the return; only someone with a screw loose would do that.
Based on Chang Ning’s performance, he had definitely guessed this was Training. What was the point of continuing the Interrogation!
The play couldn’t go on; from start to finish, they had been fooled by Chang Ning.
“Alright, since Chang Ning has figured it out, there’s no need for us to keep Acting with him.”
Gao Zhong Dui planned to move on to the next round with everyone. Not everyone in Rookie A Squadron was as sly as Chang Ning.
“Hey, wait, let’s talk it out. Are you guys for real?”
Chang Ning struggled hard. He watched his bare feet being fixed in place, then the two Interrogators went somewhere to pick some foxtail grass and, enduring the foot stench, gently tickled the soles of Chang Ning’s feet.
Although Gao Zhong Dui’s side said the Training for Chang Ning could end, the Assassin and Vulture clearly didn’t want to let him off so easily.
Now that the truth was out, from start to finish, Chang Ning had just been Acting along with them.
So they decided to give Chang Ning a little punishment.
The itch on his soles transmitted through his Nerves to his brain, making goosebumps rise all over Chang Ning’s body.
His feeling could be summed up in two words—uncomfortable. And he was still tied up, with no way out.
“Kid, tell me, how did you figure out this was Training?”
The Assassin said viciously.
“Without fifty million, I won’t say!”
Chang Ning had no mind to listen to what the Assassin was saying right now; he just stuck to one point: want Intelligence? Fork over fifty million first. He firmly kept the money-grubbing persona on himself.
“Chang Ning, stop Acting!”
Seeing Chang Ning’s money-eyed look, Vulture also laughed and directly called out Chang Ning’s Name.
Now that his Name was called out, everyone was being open, so Chang Ning had no need to keep pretending.
“Instructors, can you untie me first? Being bound is a bit uncomfortable.”
Vulture and the Assassin hadn’t removed their Masks, so Chang Ning still didn’t know who was Interrogating him.
“Does calling out my Name mean I’ve passed?” Chang Ning asked.
“We don’t know about that; Gao Zhong Dui didn’t say.” The Assassin answered truthfully. Gao Zhong Dui hadn’t said if Chang Ning passed, but according to his Guess, it should be fine.
“So we’re just gonna wait here?”
He didn’t know when the others would finish; Chang Ning didn’t want to waste Time.
“What else?”
Vulture said irritably. Through this interaction, he had seen how weird Chang Ning was.
“Talk to Gao Zhong Dui for me. I can cooperate with you. I don’t know what the Training content is,
but helping with Training is my duty.”
The Assassin was enlightened by Chang Ning; how thick-skinned did he have to be to phrase Pit Teammate so elegantly?
