As Lin Yao sat in the chair, a glimmer of hope flickered in her mind. Could the hospital's surveillance footage provide any clues? If what you said was true, then that person could easily access the medicine storage with just a thought. They might even have a device to block the cameras. The most likely outcome of checking the footage was that it would only show her sneaking around.
With a sigh of resignation, she slumped back in her seat, wishing for nothing more than to obliterate everything around her. At that moment, she thought it might be better to return to the Mingguang Star System, where she wouldn’t have to deal with so much advanced technology that seemed to conspire against her. However, once she left this place, she was determined—she absolutely had to brush up on her tech knowledge! No, when she got back to school, she would take some extra courses in information engineering.
Seeing her look startled, Zhao Chuan couldn’t help but chuckle as he tapped her on the head. “Were you scared?”
“Not really! I’m just frustrated with my own foolishness,” she replied.
“Good! It’s a good thing you weren’t scared. But let me give you a heads-up: next time you find yourself in such a situation, remember to report it immediately. Don’t try to follow up on your own.”
“I understand. One instance of this kind of embarrassment is enough for me.”
With Zhao Chuan’s assurance as a top doctor, Lin Yao felt safe coming out of this ordeal; however, her file would still remain under scrutiny for now. Therefore, it was necessary to inform her instructors about the incident.
During training that day, many instructors came up with various excuses just to check on this reckless student. Lin Yao could only feel speechless about it.
Meanwhile, Zhao Chuan had retrieved some of the unknown substances from the medicine cabinet and confirmed that there were indeed some unidentified elements present. However, their specific effects were still unclear at this point. Given that Lin Yao’s capture had caused quite a stir, it was likely that the person responsible was aware of it; thus, this lead had become somewhat useless for now. There was no rush to investigate those substances further.
The priority was to focus on finding that person quickly. At the very least, they needed to strengthen their defenses and not give anyone else an opportunity.
Due to the heightened tension, Lin Yao had put her role as Zhao Chuan's assistant on hold and was strictly following training protocols every day. Finally, with just over two days left until military training ended, Lin Yao let out a sigh of relief.
However, she had relaxed too soon.
“Have you all heard? Other special schools from the Yunmeng Star System are coming to compete with us at the military base!” During lunch on the third-to-last day of military training, several students gathered together and began discussing it excitedly.
The five special schools from Yunmeng Star were participating in military training at the base due to their unique circumstances—except for the First Middle School.
The management of the other four special schools was relatively lenient, allowing them to complete military training only within their own institutions. As for the new competition, it seemed that the other schools might not have the conditions to participate. Competing at the military base indeed appeared to be a more reasonable option.
But what would they be competing in? They had only trained in the basic five items; it couldn't possibly be those. Competing in just the basic five items would hardly qualify as a real competition—it would simply be a test!
As the discussions among the students grew heated, the instructor announced the competition details at the start of the afternoon training session: shooting, weighted cross-country running, and combat.
Upon hearing this, the students erupted in an uproar. Cross-country running and combat were manageable, but they had never practiced shooting at all!
"Exactly! I heard that the other schools' military training included shooting, weighted cross-country running, and combat. How can we compete with them?"
"Right! They’re using their familiar events against us; what’s the point in that?"
Hearing the chatter below, the instructor quickly reprimanded them, "What’s going on? Are you scared?"
"How could that be? Even if I haven’t practiced for a day, I could still easily beat those other schools," Wang Jincheng was the first to protest.
Xie Zhuo shot him a glare and snapped, "Who are you calling 'I'?"
Wang Jincheng quickly shrank back.
The others watched as the instructor lost his temper and immediately tensed up.
"Do you really think that just because you haven’t practiced for a day, you won’t measure up to other schools? You’re underestimating the training methods at the military base. While we wait for them to arrive, let’s give it a try this afternoon."
Xie Zhuo led them to the shooting range and casually picked out a few individuals.
"Take off your gravity belts and do a few practice shots first. Then we’ll shoot seriously and see what scores you can achieve."
In interstellar shooting, the most fundamental aspect involved high-speed moving targets. This not only tested shooting stability but also required prediction and trajectory calculations.
The selected students were merely average performers in their class; being chosen suddenly tested their psychological resilience as well.
Following instructions, they removed their gravity belts and took a few practice shots to get a feel for it.
At first, it seemed like there was no foundation, but the more they tried, the higher their accuracy became, and their condition improved as well. When the results were revealed, the onlookers were somewhat astonished. How could their accuracy be unexpectedly high when they hadn’t practiced at all that day?
Xie Zhuo said, "The Yunmeng Star garrison base has developed these five fundamental training exercises after years of research. They are not just randomly chosen. Every slight improvement in your fundamentals can reflect in various aspects. If you elevate all five to their peak, you’ll be able to quickly become a top expert in any other discipline you choose to learn."
The students of Class One listened with eager anticipation and excitement. Among them, there was a clear example: Lin Yao. Upon hearing this, everyone turned their bright eyes toward Lin Yao, who was not very tall and even a bit frail.
At first, due to her inferior physical skills and other aspects, I had the upper hand against her. But once she adapted to my rhythm, she could occasionally counterattack me. Now, we were nearly evenly matched. This is the tremendous boost that the five fundamental exercises provide!
"Now tell me, are you still worried about not being able to compete with other schools?" Xie Zhuo suddenly raised his voice.
"We're not worried!" Class One responded loudly, their voices filled with confidence and expectation.
"Good! This afternoon, I’ll give you time for free training to find your rhythm. Tomorrow, when the other schools arrive, we’ll start the competition directly."
After giving his instructions, Class One dispersed in a flurry. Those who wanted to practice shooting hurried to the shooting range, while others paired up for sparring at the combat arena.
Xie Zhuo noticed Lin Yao still standing there in a daze and walked over to her quietly. "You’d better not get involved in what’s coming next. If you notice anything unusual, report it immediately."
At first, Lin Yao felt a bit awkward due to Xie Zhuo's words, but after that initial embarrassment passed, she began to grasp the situation.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
Xie Zhuo remained silent.
Lin Yao furrowed her brows and thought for a moment before saying, "You suddenly organized so many students to come for a competition—are you trying to draw out something?"
"You’re quite perceptive. Our leaders have instructed me to share this with you: if anything happens, do not act on your own; make sure to report it to us first."
