NFBE Chapter 30: Man can conquer nature
Chapter 30: Man can conquer nature
Li Jie and Lin Qiye exchanged a glance and shook their heads at Wang Mian.
"No need, we are new recruits, we should eat what new recruits eat."
Seeing that the two declined the invitation, Wang Mian pondered for a moment, then took two dishes from their table and came over.
When he arrived at the table, he politely addressed the new recruits sitting opposite them.
"I'd like to talk to them. Could we go somewhere else?"
The new recruit stood up, flattered, and gestured for Wang Mian to sit down. At their table, besides Li Jie, Lin Qiye, and Fatty, there were three other people present.
The other recruits wisely went to find other seats.
Wang pushed the dishes he was holding forward and first looked at Li Jie and said something.
"Thank you."
Li Jie nodded slightly, ignoring the dishes Wang Mian pushed towards him, and continued eating the steamed bun in his hand.
He knew that Wang Mian was thanking him for giving them face, even though he really wanted to eat the dishes Wang Mian served.
However, he was afraid of giving Yuan Gang a handle to use against him, as the latter was looking for a reason to increase their training intensity.
They're making up excuses even when there aren't any. If they actually ate it... things might get even worse.
"I have a question, but I'm not sure if it's convenient to ask."
Lin Qiye looked at Wang Mian, who had sat down, and spoke.
After all, in this vast military camp, besides him, only Wang Mian was a representative of the gods, and he guessed that only this captain of the "Masked" could answer his questions.
After receiving the king's approval, Shichiya inquired about the matter of the god's representative.
Simply put, the act of acting as an agent is a kind of contract between gods and mortals.
While receiving divine power, one must also complete the tasks assigned by the gods.
Lin Qiye lowered his head thoughtfully. It seems that I am different from ordinary agents of the gods.
Judging from the current situation, it seems that Michael has not given me any tasks, not to mention my mother, who is still not quite mentally stable.
Wang Mian looked at Lin Qiye, who was deep in thought, and did not disturb him. Instead, he solemnly asked Li Jie a question.
"Li Jie, are you also an agent of some deity?"
Upon hearing Wang Mian's question, Lin Qiye, Pangpang, and Shen Qingzhu, Cao Yuan, and Moli, who were sitting next to him, all stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to wait for his answer.
In the monitoring room, Yuan Gang watched what was happening in the cafeteria and anxiously gave orders to the instructors beside him.
"Turn the volume up right now! I can't hear anything!"
"Yes!"
Sensing the strange atmosphere around him, Li Jie stuffed the last piece of steamed bun in his hand into his mouth and said calmly.
"do not know."
Ok?
Upon hearing Li Jie's answer, Lin Qiye showed an expression of "I knew it," and then continued to lower his head to think.
Everyone else was stunned.
I don't know what that means...
Yuan Gang waited expectantly for what would happen next, but when he saw that Li Jie didn't seem inclined to speak further, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Is this how he usually fools people?..."
Instructor Hong felt the oppressive atmosphere in front of him and swallowed hard.
"Perhaps he really doesn't know... After all, Chen Muyi's team in Squad 136 has been searching for him for so long, yet they haven't been able to deduce what his forbidden realm is. It's reasonable for this kid to say he doesn't know..."
Don't know? Really don't know? ...
Hearing Lao Hong's explanation, Yuan Gang was still skeptical. How could someone use it so skillfully if they didn't know it...?
Wang Mian, not waiting for further instructions, continued to ask questions.
"What do you mean? Is my question unclear?"
"Let me ask you this: has an old man ever spoken to you in your mind, telling you to do some random, nonsensical things?"
"Or rather, a strangely dressed person suddenly appears before you and says, 'Young man, let me give you power!'"
Li Jie looked at Wang Mian with a strange expression. Why did the captain of "Masked" seem a bit like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?
Surprisingly, he guessed right; there really was an old man in my mind... However, the system probably has nothing to do with gods.
After thinking for a while, he gently shook his head.
Wang Mian was also a little undecided, and muttered to himself.
"Logically speaking, if it weren't a divine agent, it would be difficult to explain why it possesses such terrifying destructive power, even..."
He stopped abruptly halfway through his speech, because he felt the intense gazes of the new recruits around him.
Li Jie shook his head with a faint smile.
"Can't an ordinary person do it? Does it have to be some kind of agent of a god?"
Ordinary people?
Upon hearing Li Jie's words, Wang Mian gave a wry smile.
How could an ordinary person possibly defeat a god? Even Cao Yuan, who possessed the 031 [Black King Annihilation] technique, couldn't compare to a true god after he grew up, let alone anyone else.
Li Jie clapped his hands and cleaned the food scraps off his clothes.
"I am indeed not some agent of a god, just an ordinary person."
"But...I believe that human determination can overcome nature!"
Instructor Yuan's allotted time was almost up, so he called Lin Qiye and the others to leave the cafeteria.
Wang Mian, however, stared blankly at the two untouched plates of food in front of him.
Can man conquer nature?
..........
As the whistle blew, the new recruits turned around in unison to face the podium.
Although the formation wasn't perfectly orderly, at least they looked like soldiers, no longer slouching and crooked like when they first arrived.
Just then, an instructor they had never seen before appeared on the platform.
He coughed lightly, glanced at the new recruits present, and silently cheered himself on.
Han Li, you can do it! You definitely can! Those guys are just a bunch of greenhorns; handling them will be a piece of cake!
"Now! Let's begin this morning's training!"
"As Night's Watchmen, our primary enemies are mysterious creatures from mythology, legend, and the countryside."
Their abilities are incredibly diverse, and their characteristics vary greatly, but there's no doubt that they possess far greater attack power and physique than humans!
"And what do we rely on to fight these powerful and mysterious beings?"
After Instructor Han finished speaking, the new recruits began to whisper among themselves. He looked at the whispering recruits and spoke in a booming voice.
Tell me! What are you relying on?
At this moment, the arrogant Shen Qingzhu lazily raised his hand and said.
"Report! It's thanks to the powerful Forbidden Ruins!"
Upon hearing Shen Qingzhu's reply, Han Li gave a cold laugh.
Finally, one of these little rascals has taken the bait! Good, I'll start with you!
"The Forbidden Ruins are indeed an important means for us to fight against the mysterious, but your answer is too one-sided!"
Forbidden Ruins don't mean everything, unless your Forbidden Ruins are extremely powerful, so powerful that they can annihilate the Mysterious with just a snap of your fingers.
Are you sure you can do it?!
After Instructor Han finished speaking, everyone who knew Shen Qingzhu was stunned.
His explanation was practically just short of revealing the guy's ID number.
Shen Qingzhu chuckled and replied.
"I can do it."
"Hmm?" Han Li, sensing something was off, asked.
"What is your forbidden ruins?"
An innocent person: "Forbidden Ruins Sequence 068, [Qi Min]".
Instructor Han:.........
