Father, you've been drafted four times already, please spare us!

Very well, Chen Nian's other purpose besides wanting them to back down was to provoke them.

He came from the Special Police Force and knew all too well what kind of people these so-called top investigators were like.

They all have their noses in the air and think they're the best in the world. If we don't find an opportunity for them to challenge us, how can we curb their arrogance and make them obedient and cooperative?

Chen Nian was too shrewd; he was betting that these people would never submit to him.

Because he was just like them; when he participated in the special forces assessment in the reconnaissance company, he was even more arrogant than them!

While others were still thinking about how to smoothly pass the assessment and how to deal with the instructors' hellish torture, Chen Nian had already begun to figure out how to turn the tables on them.

While others were still worried about whether there would be a "gas blitz" tonight, Chen Nian had already secretly infiltrated the instructors' dormitory, ready to deliver a thunderous blow.

Even towards the end of the assessment, Chen Nian dared to solo Lu Te's instructor assistant, risking his life.

Now, if someone suddenly appeared and told Chen Nian, "I am your captain, but you are not yet qualified to be my teammate. I need to test you," and even insulted Chen Nian for being afraid of death.

Without saying a word, Chen Nian planted his flag, saying, "If you want to test me, you'd better beat me first!"

This is the instinctive thinking of top students: they will not submit unless they are defeated.

"Heh, so you're not convinced?"

Chen Nian smiled as he looked at the man.

"Submit? Either you fuck me to death, or I'll fuck you to death. I just don't know how to write the word 'submit'!"

The man had his neck stiff and looked very arrogant.

"Tch, so you're not very educated! You don't even know how to write the character '服' (fú)!"

Chen Nian sneered at the other party.

The man hadn't expected Chen Nian to be so unethical, resorting to verbal attacks right from the start.

"Don't give me that nonsense. If you want me to submit, beat me first!"

"Beat you?"

"That's too easy!"

"Alright, all of you come at me together, and we'll fight one-on-one. I'll take on all twenty-seven of you!"

"If I win, you'll all behave yourselves. If I lose, I'll turn around and leave, and tell Political Commissar Qin to find someone else!"

Chen Nian didn't want to waste time with these people. On the border, the blood of his comrades was still warm, and he was in a hurry to get the Indian heads to pay tribute to his fallen comrades!

"Oh right, there's protective gear over there. Put on the gear, apply magnesium powder to your hands, and we'll determine the winner based on the point of impact!"

The man was taken aback, then waved his hand dismissively:

"You should wear it; I'm worried you'll get hurt!"

"We don't need those protective gear!"

"Yes, we don't need it. You should wear it, or we'll beat you so badly you won't be able to get out of bed!"

"..."

"Pfft!"

Chen Nian scoffed, "He's just a kid who hasn't experienced real combat!"

"Fine, we'll do as you say, no protective gear!"

"Let's begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nian moved like lightning, instantly arriving in front of the person who had initially provoked him, and delivered a straight right punch to the man's stomach.

"Pfft! You attacked me from behind!"

"If you're not alert, will your opponent wait for you to get into position?"

"waste!"

Chen Nian threw a punch without even looking at the person, then swung his right fist.

"what!"

"Holy shit!"

"Damn, he's so tough! My fists are practically useless against him!"

"Holy crap, that kick!"

"stop!"

"Captain, I give up!"

Chen Nian grinned, showing his big white teeth, when he saw the kid who had shouted "I'm impressed!"

"Give in? Even if you do, you'll still get beaten up!"

"Bang!"

Chen Nian punched him in the back, and the kid felt like his internal organs were about to shatter.

"Your skills are indeed decent, but they're too formulaic. They're fine against people of your own skill level, but if you really run into a tough opponent, you... heh!"

"Everyone! Attention!"

The 27 people who were lying on the ground, groaning, immediately stood up upon hearing the command and lined up in a row.

"From now on, you will not have names, only code names!"

"From left to right, they are numbers 1-27!"

"I will select five people from among you to form my mission team!"

"Specific tasks will be communicated to you after the team is formed!"

"Now, I will call on the person whose number is next to step forward!"

"Number 2, take charge of the squad's sniper!"

"Number 7 is responsible for the squad's field first aid and logistical support."

"Number 12, you are in charge of information warfare."

"Number 17, you'll be the deputy assault soldier!"

"Number 24, you'll be the machine gunner!"

"These are the team members I selected myself based on your information!"

"I know you're all unhappy with this result, so I'll give you a chance. You can challenge these people in your areas of expertise, and if you win, you can replace them!"

After explaining the rules of the challenge, Chen Nian immediately announced:

"Let's start with information warfare! Anyone want to challenge Number 12?"

As soon as Chen Nian finished speaking, three people immediately shouted "Report!"

"Come to the information warfare zone. The three of you will be the attackers, and you, number 12, will be the defender. You need to build a firewall to resist their attack. If you fail, you will be disqualified!"

"Don't tell me it's unfair. If you want a spot, you have to beat all your competitors!"

"Number 12, you have ten minutes to prepare. You can begin!"

After the four left, Chen Nian looked at the remaining people.

"The battlefield first aid assessment and challenge have been postponed due to your unique circumstances. I believe your first aid skills are definitely not a problem, but this mission will not only assess your first aid abilities, but also your overall military combat skills!"

"The remaining three challenges will not take place inside the warehouse."

Chen Nian took out the map he had prepared beforehand and distributed it to everyone.

"The map in your hands is the challenge area for this time."

"There are four scenarios: desert, plateau, rainforest, and plain. Let's start with the sniper. You will enter these areas in this way. The challenger is the defender and has ten minutes to enter the scenario first. The challenger must find the challenger in the area and kill them."

"The challenge ends when one side is completely wiped out!"

"Now, those of you participating in the sniper assessment, you can discuss and decide the order of the scenarios among yourselves!"

"Once you've made your decision, you can begin. There's one thing to note: when you head to the challenge area, there will be no vehicles, no navigation; you'll have to rely solely on yourselves!"

"Furthermore, you must not be detected by sentries or surveillance cameras when you depart from the base; otherwise, it will be considered a failure!"

"The challenger and the challenged are the same; if no sniper can be selected, then I will be the sniper!"

"If there are no objections, we can begin!"

After the four left, Chen Nian looked at the remaining people.

"Numbers 17 and 24, you'll be in the same group and participate in the selection together!"

"Challengers must set up a protective target within area C12. This target can be moved, hidden, or even carried on their person!"

"I'll give you two hours to prepare. You can set up ambushes, lay mines, and do whatever you can think of and do on the road to C12!"

"I have only one request: protect the target, or take them both out!"

"You will set off two hours earlier than them to prepare!"

"Numbers 17 and 24, your mission is clear: protect the target and escape unscathed! And you cannot suffer fatal injuries in the process!"

"Anyone have any objections?"

Report number 15 stated:

"Captain, we've successfully completed the challenge. With so many people, how do we determine who was the last one to join the team?"

Chen Nian nodded:

"Excellent question. I will be monitoring your every move and will decide who joins the team based on your battlefield performance and the feedback from your combat terminals!"

"So please demonstrate your abilities as much as possible!"

"Now, if there are no problems, we can set off!"
