Chapter 841: Lin Qiye’s Training
“Fool, of course, it’s because the bad guys all laugh like this!”
The pale spider-like figure flickered and transformed into the appearance of the child A Zhu. He crossed his arms over his chest and said in a wise-beyond-his-years tone, “You’re still too young! There are many things you don’t understand. Just follow me, the Minister, and you won’t suffer any losses!”
“Oh…”
“You two stop playing around. There are still a few new recruits hiding in the underground shooting range to the southeast. Go and drag them out.” Lin Qiye’s voice suddenly echoed in the minds of the two.
Upon hearing this voice, A Zhu and the raccoon immediately stood up straight and replied seriously, “Yes! Dean, we guarantee to complete the task!”
…
Office building, rooftop.
Lin Qiye stood alone, his eyes tightly closed, his mental power already covering the entire training camp.
In his perception, the movements, positions, and expressions of every new recruit were clearly presented. He was like a large tracking processor, firmly grasping the situation of every new recruit in the camp.
While tracking the new recruits, he communicated with the caretakers using his thoughts, directing them to pursue different targets.
These caretakers had signed a summoning contract with Lin Qiye, allowing them to communicate seamlessly even without modern information transmission devices. To the new recruits, this was just a simple chase, but they were unaware that from the very beginning, this was a one-sided chess game.
In this chess game, there was only one player, Lin Qiye.
Using the training camp as the chessboard and the “mysterious” caretakers as the pieces, he systematically hunted down all the new recruits.
He decided when to mobilize a large number of caretakers to pursue a specific group for an extended period, forcing them to unleash their potential; when to slow down these caretakers or have them chase other new recruits, giving the already exhausted recruits a chance to catch their breath; and when to use thunderous methods to capture some recruits who had reached their limits, forcibly removing them from the battlefield to prevent irreparable damage from prolonged extreme exercise…
To the new recruits, all of this seemed chaotic and random, yet it was filled with hidden intricacies.
In this chase, the most exhausted were not the desperately fleeing recruits, but Lin Qiye, who was secretly controlling everything.
Fortunately, as more and more new recruits could not hold on and were forcibly removed from the field, the number of recruits Lin Qiye needed to pay attention to gradually decreased, and the pressure also lessened. From the start of the escape until now, about two hours had passed, and the number of recruits on the field had sharply decreased from over six hundred to around four hundred.
This batch of new recruits, due to a large-scale expansion, had a mix of quality, with many being physically weak. To have lasted this long was already their limit.
Of course, the effects of just these two hours of escape were far more effective than simply carrying weights for five or six hours.
Perhaps even the recruits themselves did not realize that in this extremely tense and high-pressure environment, their potential was being rapidly tapped. Their physical strength, endurance, and willpower were all quietly improving.
If given a little more time, their physical fitness would undergo a tremendous transformation.
…
Dawn broke.
Tanshang City.
Morning mist enveloped the desolate and lonely mountains, and a young man walked slowly and steadily along the rugged mountain path, filled with gravel, toward the summit.
“Is this your hometown?” The voice of the demon child echoed in his mind, “Tsk tsk, so remote and desolate. Are you really willing to live in a place like this forever? Don’t you have any money? No way, with your current strength, isn’t money something you can have as much as you want?
As long as you have money, you can go to the most prosperous cities, buy the most expensive and luxurious houses, and find four or five dozen women…”
“Shut up!!”
Lu Baoyou frowned tightly and suddenly shouted, his voice echoing across the empty mountains.
“I find it strange. Deep down, do you really have no desires?” The demon child continued relentlessly, “Why do you suppress yourself? Why not unleash your true nature? You are the agent of corruption, yet why do you resist it?
It can bring you joy, power, and everything countless people dream of…
What are you holding on to?”
Lu Baoyou took a deep breath and ignored the demon child in his mind, for he knew that the more he engaged with it, the more it would enjoy speaking.
He had been driven nearly mad by the demon child on this journey.
The demon child was right; its existence posed no threat to Lu Baoyou, but that was only on a physical level. On a mental level, this creature was like a piece of gum stuck to the sole of his shoe, tormenting him to the brink of insanity.
From the moment he left the train station in the capital to arriving in Tanshang County, and now in this wilderness, the demon child was like a devil trying to lure him into the abyss, constantly tempting him…
The most critical part was that the demon child’s irritating words constantly stirred the rage and ferocity deep within Lu Baoyou.
Under the influence of the fallen angel’s power, he felt like a powder keg, easily ignited, and with the demon child’s provocation, he could hardly control his inner fury, his emotions igniting uncontrollably.
Yet Lu Baoyou had no way to deal with it!
If it weren’t for Lu Baoyou constantly suppressing his emotions, that train would have probably exploded countless times by now…
After enduring this torment, Lu Baoyou’s spirit had been severely tested, but in an intangible way, his control over his emotions had slightly improved.
While enduring that annoying voice, Lu Baoyou slowly made his way along the mountain path and arrived at a small mountain village with almost no inhabitants, stopping in front of a two-story small villa painted white.
Amidst the surrounding low houses made of cracked earth bricks, this small villa stood out, looking particularly conspicuous and out of place.
“Eh?” The demon child exclaimed in surprise, “This is your home? The decoration is much better than I imagined… It seems your family isn’t that poor?”
Lu Baoyou ignored him, quietly gazing at the small villa, remaining silent.
It hadn’t always been like this.
Seven or eight years ago, this place, like other nearby buildings, was a small, dilapidated earthen house. He was born and raised here… until one day, his father, Lu Qiu, who had been away from home for many years, suddenly returned with a large sum of money, saying he wanted to take the family to the city for a better life.
However, his grandmother, attached to her homeland, refused to leave, so Lu Qiu could only spend money to renovate this dilapidated little house, turning it into the best building in the village, which made the other villagers envious at the time.
