The next morning,
Shen Jin sat crouched in the newly leveled Training Ground, unsteady on his feet and sporting two dark circles under his eyes.
When Zhao Chao arrived with his ten recruits, their first activity was collective bewilderment!
The mountain path that had been full of bumps and potholes yesterday was now a smooth Hard Stone Road, its slabs neatly fitted together.
"Damn, it's so level! Even a master contractor with thirty years of experience would have to call this professional work!"
"Look at this place. Whoever made it must have terminal OCD. No one else could pull this off."
