Chapter 75: Morning Of The First Day Of Field Training
[Ding ding ding~ Dong dong dong~ Ding dong ding dong~]
“I C (civilization censorship)……!”
Xiang Chuan was directly startled by this wake-up tune that couldn’t even be called music and jumped up. After watching the promotion image last night, she chatted with Chou Manman until late at night. When their sporadic conversation gradually died down, Xiang Chuan glanced at the time and was still worried about whether she could wake up today.
She checked the terminal’s time: 6:00.
Now it seemed this worry was quite unnecessary. Normal people could usually wake up under the bombardment of such loud, bizarre wake-up music.
Chou Manman on the next bed: “Hoo…… hoo…… Zzzz…”
Xiang Chuan: …
She took back her previous statement; there was one right next to her.
“Man Man, get up quickly, it’s already morning.” Xiang Chuan climbed down the bed and shook Chou Manman. She originally thought it would take a lot of time to wake up Chou Manman, who couldn’t even be roused by the bizarre wake-up music, but unexpectedly, just shaking her shoulder made her groggily open her eyes.
“Xiang Chuan……? Why are you in my room?” Chou Manman looked at Xiang Chuan in a daze, her brain seemingly not reacting yet.
“Wake up, this is the field training base, not at your home.” Xiang Chuan had black lines all over her face upon hearing this. She reached out to ruffle Chou Manman’s hair to shake her awake, then rolled up her sleeves and started washing up and preparing breakfast.
Chou Manman, not yet awake: “……? What training base………… Ah!”
Xiang Chuan was in the washroom chewing on nano robots for teeth cleaning when she heard the flustered noises from outside from Chou Manman. She thought to herself that modern people really couldn’t adapt to the military training schedule…
After chewing for five minutes, she spat the nano robots onto the cleaning container. The soft gel-like nano robots were covered in cleaned plaque. She put the lid on the cleaning container, opened the water inlet above the lid shell, poured clean water in, pressed the cleaning switch, and then heard a sound like a washing machine from inside the cleaning container. After the sound stopped, she removed the groove below, dumped the cleaned plaque into the nearby trash can, poured out the water from the cleaning container, and finished today’s teeth brushing task.
On the first night after transmigration, Xiang Chuan learned from “memory” that modern toothpaste and toothbrush were actually this soft gel sponge-like thing, and she was very resistant at first.
But she couldn’t tolerate the feeling of plaque on her teeth even more, so enduring the discomfort, she “brushed her teeth” and found this thing really worked. Corners that required an electric toothbrush in her previous life were cleaned spotless by the teeth-cleaning nano robots, even the grooves and tooth gaps of the molars were taken care of. So she decisively cast aside her prejudices and gladly accepted this modern toothbrush.
—After all, a good set of teeth was the foundation for enjoying delicious food in the long road of life ahead.
After finishing washing up, she returned to the dormitory building. After turning on the heating function of the meal box, she finally started to slowly change her clothes.
[Classmates who have finished washing up, please head to the canteen to eat as soon as possible. Today’s training will start promptly at 7:00.]
Then she heard a commotion of chaos outside the door. Chou Manman, who was washing up, curiously stuck her head out to look toward the door, then looked at Xiang Chuan with some schadenfreude, her eyes clearly saying “we don’t have to squeeze into the canteen hahaha.”
Xiang Chuan, holding two plates of hot buns, was now wondering if her first friend had spent too much time with Nancy.
Five minutes later, Chou Manman finished washing up, and the A Bite of China Club trio plus Nancy came over to mooch food. Xiang Chuan was delighted inwardly: perfect to finish off the half meal box of dish left from yesterday.
Modern people had no objections to eating overnight food; they just considered it Xiang Chuan not wanting to waste ingredients.
“I wonder what training there will be today,” Chou Manman bit into a big chicken bun, her face full of bliss. After savoring and swallowing a mouthful of bun, she continued, “…Our training schedule this time is different from the senior students’. The training precautions I heard from other clubs before are all useless.”
“No way? Can’t even the class competition part be used as reference?”
Xiang Chuan asked doubtfully.
“This part is the least referenceable.” Ainuo took a bite of steak bun. “The third-year seniors from the information technology department told me that their class back then used camouflaged nanomachines at night to lure people from other classes to their own camp and got second place.”
“Our second-year seniors from the engineering and construction club said the same. Back then, their two classes cooperated: the engineering department built simple defenses, and the sports department used terrain advantages to launch attacks.”
Nancy put half a steak onto her plate. Last night, she had been imitating Xiang Chuan’s gestures to cut steak, and after a few tries, she was much more proficient. Now her steak-cutting posture was so elegant that Xiang Chuan felt like she was watching a young lady from a prestigious family eating Western cuisine… though Nancy was indeed a young lady from a prestigious family.
“I heard that a previous champion team used local materials on the spot, combining stones and nano robots to create a batch of stone giants and won the competition.” Liang Gong said, taking small bites of the triangular sugar bun in his hand.
Why were they all such intense matches? Xiang Chuan ate a bite of fish fillet depressingly. Mm, the tender sea fish was indeed delicious. She wondered what reaction her family would have if they knew she had used up all the sea fish reserves in one go… No, they were talking about the class competition now.
“Each class has different proportions of club members, so there’s no way to know what kind of offensive everyone will take. So thinking about precautions for the class competition is a waste of effort.” Ouyang Yating gave the final summary after swallowing the last bite of bun.
“So that means responding to changes with no change…” Xiang Chuan tilted her head. “Just thinking that I’m the easiest target makes me feel so insecure hearing about these previous confrontation matches.”
“If you don’t bring the meal box, you won’t be targeted. Everyone just wants your meal boxes, right?” Chou Manman directly pointed out the root of the problem.
“No way, if I don’t bring the meal box, I won’t have anything to eat.” Xiang Chuan took a big gulp of fruit milk and started throwing a young lady tantrum that had gradually been spoiled out since transmigration.
“Then I advise you to give up early. Last night when I went for a walk on the nearby sports field, I heard many people discussing your meal boxes. I suggest you prepare a backup plan for all your meal boxes being robbed, otherwise you won’t have anything to eat for the next week.” Ainuo looked at the fruit milk in the water bottle in their dormitory, frowned, decisively took out his own water bottle, and happily drank a sip of juice: Mm, juice was indeed more to his taste. He continued, “During the class competition, teachers and instructors at the training base won’t provide us with any supplies unless the entire class is defeated by the opponent.”
“It’s just first-year military training… Ah no, just the first-year class competition, is it necessary to make it so life-or-death!” Xiang Chuan’s scalp went numb upon hearing this. Wouldn’t that mean she couldn’t even eat the mud-like liquid food?
Isn’t this too much?
Sudden exams these two days, one day without update
Originally thought after the third mock exam, there wouldn’t be exams until next week at least, but unexpectedly a baseline test came suddenly, exams twice a week, numbed
