Chapter 2139: The Chief Instructor Must Have a Deeper Meaning

Someone whispered in the crowd, "The food in the fridge is definitely fresh."

"Yeah, we ate some too, the meat quality is excellent!"

"They ate too much, couldn’t handle it, and got diarrhea."

"They live below us, last night they opened the window, and the smell of grilled meat wafted up, seemed like they ate until past two in the morning."

"They were dancing and singing too. We live below them and heard constant wailing from upstairs."

"Clearly it’s their own fault, yet they blame the food in the fridge. So shameless!"

Upon hearing the whispers, Little Taotie narrowed her eyes, "I don’t need your excuses for being late. The fact is you’re late, go stand in the open space."

"Just stand there?"

"The punishment is too light, right?"

"If being late only means standing as punishment, I’ll get up later tomorrow too."

"I woke up early out of fear of being late, if it’s just standing as punishment, I wouldn’t have risen so early."

Little Taotie glanced coldly at everyone, "One by one, so much nonsense?"

Despite being a woman, seemingly younger than most, her aura and the cold, stern vibe she emitted discouraged anyone from contradicting her.

Everyone instantly fell silent.

Little Taotie said flatly, "Run three laps around the open space."

"Huh?"

"Run again?"

"After yesterday’s run, my legs cramped up in the middle of the night."

"I woke up this morning in pain all over."

"I can’t take it anymore, with training like this every day, I feel like I’m going to die young."

"Any more nonsense, add two more laps!"

Everyone shut up and obediently went to run.

During the run, they whispered, "Why do we listen to her so obediently?"

"If we don’t run, what can she do to us?"

"How about... a collective strike?"

"Don’t even think about it!" Two voices spoke in unison.

The crowd looked over; it was Xiao Jin and Jin Hancheng.

Xiao Jin was a goddess to most, a child star who debuted early, known by peers of her generation.

Plus, she first gained fame as a comedian, then achieved notable success in singing and dancing based on her own abilities, setting an inspirational image that attracted many fans.

Jin Hancheng, however, due to his family background, had many fearing or trying to curry favor with him.

Both had considerable influence in the group.

Actually, most people looked to their behavior as a benchmark; now, since they were running seriously without complaints, it led others to follow blindly.

"Hey, big shots, what can we learn from running every day? We came all the way here not to become long-distance runners; we’re here to learn special abilities!"

"Exactly! Both yesterday and today, it’s been physical training, without learning anything substantial."

"We only have a year; surely, we won’t spend the whole year on physical training?"

Xiao Jin frowned, "Do whatever the Chief Instructor tells us; why complain? We’re here to learn, and if the Chief Instructor tells us to build physical strength, there must be a deeper purpose."

Jin Hancheng nodded, "Xiao Jin is right, the Chief Mentor surely has a deeper purpose."

"Ugh, I can’t run anymore."

"Me neither."

"I want to go back home. If this continues daily, I want to apply to return home."

"Even if there’s a deeper meaning, they should at least give us a hint, otherwise we’re worried."

"Brother Cheng, as our representative, could you ask for us? So we can feel a bit more reassured, and find out what the Chief Mentor’s deeper purpose is?"
