Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Black Wolf looked at Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, from now on you are the captain of this training camp team. Say a few words!"

Ye Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over each person.

A normal person would say, "Hello everyone, please guide me in the future. Let's work together to successfully complete this training camp!"

But Ye Chen suddenly spoke up: "Why are you all standing so far away? Watching a show? Come over and line up properly. What do you look like, all crooked and slouching like this? You're all respectable people from an organized group, don't act like rogue cultivators!"

"If I had stood like this during my college military training, the drill instructor would have started cursing and I would have had to run at least two laps around the track."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ye Chen to have them do something as simple as standing in line.

Even the head instructor didn't say anything, so why are you taking it so seriously?

They're really making a mountain out of a molehill.

Many people harbored such grievances in their hearts.

Ye Chen, as if reading everyone's thoughts, urged them on:

"What are you standing there for? Get moving! The instructor might be waiting for us here. Head Instructor Black Wolf, since his skin isn't dark, think about why he's called Black Wolf? Haven't you seen him on TV? Who knows what kind of mischief he's up to? Hurry, hurry, line up in a row with me as the center, left side higher than right. 30 seconds to adjust!"

Chief Instructor Black Wolf's face twitched. This kid actually made fun of him, but he didn't say anything!

He began to look at Ye Chen with newfound respect.

Dongzi's second uncle, A Long, had already taken the lead in expressing his opinion, quickly running over and standing in a row. The others looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally followed suit!

Although Zhao Tianlong was reluctant, he obediently stood in line.

The nine people were eventually arranged in a row according to their approximate height.

Ye Chen then slowly spoke: "That's right. Remember your positions and stand like this from now on. We're here for training, so we should look like we're in training. Even elementary school students know how to line up. Don't be getting more and more outdated!"

"Now, let me say a few words. Although we come from different departments, it's fate that we've gathered here today..."

Ye Chen rambled on for more than 10 minutes without any breaks. His core idea was that he had no core idea at all; he was just talking for a couple of minutes, much like the principal did.

Black Wolf, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted, "Hmm, not bad, Ye Chen explained it very well. I hope you can work together seamlessly from now on!"

Ah Long and Dongzi clapped enthusiastically below, while the others, who were being held up, also gave a few symbolic claps.

Next, Instructor Wang arranged a simple meal for everyone to welcome them back.

The meals were indeed very simple, just steamed buns and pickled vegetables.

Instructor Wang's reasoning was that resources were scarce in the mountains, and having anything to eat was already a blessing; everyone should overcome their difficulties.

People here don't have many problems on a regular basis, so eating a steamed bun is nothing unusual for them.

Therefore, no one has expressed dissatisfaction yet.

What's more disappointing is the rest area.

When everyone finished their meal and arrived at their assigned rooms, they were all stunned.

It's one thing to have a 10-person room, but there aren't even beds. Everyone just has a makeshift bed on the floor. One big room is all you need!

Many people have realized that this is not a training camp, but a place to suffer.

Zhao Tianlong went even further, hurling insults and curses.

"Holy crap, what a crappy place! There's not even a bed. I must have been out of my mind to come here and suffer like this."

Ye Chen took a deep breath and slowly said, "It's good enough that there's a place to shelter from the wind and rain during the training camp. We might even have to do wilderness survival tomorrow. Let's make do and get some rest. The formal training starts this afternoon!"

Team leader Ye Chen's words carried some weight; upon hearing about wilderness survival, everyone suddenly found the bed much more appealing.

In the end, I reluctantly accepted the status quo.

The training officially started at 1:30 pm, but there were no basic military training items such as standing at attention or lining up.

Perhaps it's also related to their special status.

However, thanks to Ye Chen's organization of the group this morning, everyone is now standing quite properly.

The instructors may not mention it, but they cannot refrain from doing it.

There should still be a basic level of neatness, otherwise it will look like a disorganized rabble.

The instructors immediately got straight to the point—explaining and applying firearms!

Each person was given several firearms, and they learned as they disassembled them—there's nothing more practical than this.

Although they are cultivators, it is necessary for ordinary cultivators like them to use some firearms.

Firearms can elevate their strength to a higher level, and they also have a better effect in the hands of cultivators.

Cultivators possess spiritual perception and other abilities that surpass those of ordinary people, making it much easier for them to practice with firearms.

Instructor Wang and Instructor Li took turns explaining some common firearms before moving on to the practical training session.

Most of the people present only came into contact with firearms after joining the BeiDou system, and none of them had received much professional training.

With such a detailed explanation, this has filled in the gaps in my knowledge.

Everyone listened attentively, and even Zhao Tianlong had put away his arrogance.

"Bang bang bang—"

The deafening roar echoed through the deep mountains, stirring the blood and making one's blood boil.

Everyone was a little excited, and when they actually tried it, they were quite skilled and followed the rules to shoot.

Ye Chen was no exception. Although he had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment stage, this was every boy's childhood dream.

Even as I've grown up, I still genuinely love it.

I can't refuse a single thing!

The last time Ye Chen went shooting was at the Duoyi Shooting Range, where the firearms were ultimately different from those used in the regular range.

Moreover, this time it's completely free, and there's plenty to go around.

This is going to feed everyone in the simplest and most brutal way!

......

Amidst the hail of bullets in the mountains, Chen Tingting from Xiamen University of Technology was also engaged in a frenzied battle in the stock market.

Chen Tingting still didn't go to class today, and her total earnings have reached over 15 yuan.

The sheer amount of profit she made in just two days was like a windfall, making her extremely envious.

This afternoon, encouraged by her senior classmate Liu, she took out loans from two online lending platforms.

Including yesterday's, Chen Tingting has now taken out more than 90 yuan in online loans. Combined with her original capital of more than 100 million yuan, the amount she has invested in the stock market has reached 200 million yuan.

She seemed to have completely grasped the workings of capital: making money with money is the only way to succeed.

The thrill of earning tens of thousands a day is incomparable to anything else.

In just two days, she earned more money than her father could earn in a year carrying cement.

She felt she was moving towards a higher and broader stage, and that she was about to transcend social classes.

If there were a way to get her to borrow another million, she probably would be willing to do it.

Just as she was fully invested and hoping for a steady rise in stock prices to earn her hundreds of thousands more, the stock price began to fall.

The original total profit of over 15 yuan shrank to 10 yuan in less than an hour.
