"Could it be that other beasts killed the Pangolin Rat, and this guy just happened to get lucky?"

Li Qiang really couldn't believe that this young man could kill a Pangolin Rat.

To put it bluntly, even if the Pangolin Rat stayed there motionless, a new War Soldier might not be able to kill it!

Let alone a Logistics Soldier who couldn't even produce a sharp knife...

But the wounds on the Pangolin Rat looked like they were caused by humans.

"Forget it, thinking too much is meaningless."

After Li Qiang finished counting all the prey, he remembered he forgot to ask for the other person's name.

"Hey, what's your name? I need to register it."

Gu Han had just finished heating up two rabbits and some leftovers and was eating heartily. He replied with a mouthful of food, "Gu Han."

"So it's him."

Li Qiang had some impression of the name Gu Han.

Although he and the Logistics Soldiers belonged to different branches, the first place in the Logistics Soldier assessment was worth paying attention to.

Li Qiang noted down Gu Han's name on the list of prey submitted by the Logistics Soldiers.

He picked up his pen, thought for a moment, and wrote "600" Logistics Points after Gu Han's name.

The beasts Gu Han hunted were actually not as many as in the afternoon.

But the Pangolin Rat and the Short-tailed Viper were extremely valuable, and Gu Han hardly hunted common prey like rabbits in the evening.

This allowed Gu Han to earn far more Logistics Points in the evening than during the afternoon assessment!

Li Qiang had two ledgers in his hands.

One was specifically used to record the Logistics Points of the veteran Logistics Soldiers.

It was filled with dense names.

Although most veteran Logistics Soldiers hunted weak beasts like wild rabbits, over the years, the accumulation had been significant. Apart from those who had spent some Logistics Points, most had a considerable amount.

On this new ledger, there was only Gu Han's name for now.

Li Qiang estimated that Gu Han's Logistics Points would soon surpass those of the veteran soldiers.

After Gu Han ate his fill, he smiled and greeted Li Qiang before leaving.

Returning to his humble dwelling, he was immediately hit by a wave of sweat and grime.

Ma Tie and the others, who hadn't rested yet, quickly stepped forward to greet Gu Han.

"Gu Han, where did you go? Why are you back so late?"

Gu Han casually took off his blood-stained jacket and prepared to wash up.

"I was bored, so I went hunting for a while."

As soon as he said this, Ma Tie and the others remained stunned until Gu Han picked up his clean clothes and headed for the public bathhouse.

"Bored... hunting?"

"I understand all these words individually, but why can't I comprehend them when put together?"

Before coming to the military camp, Ma Tie and the others were either farmers or craftsmen, essentially the most ordinary people in this world.

And none of them were hunters by profession.

For ordinary people, hunting was an endeavor fraught with danger and opportunity.

And the danger far outweighed the opportunity!

If it hadn't been for Gu Han's insistence, their only thought upon encountering a Green Wolf would have been to turn tail and run!

Serving in the military as a conscript, with no income, why risk their lives?

Therefore, they found it difficult to understand Gu Han's idea of risking his life out of sheer boredom.

"Perhaps this is the gap between us and Gu Han."

Ma Tie shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

It was definitely not a coincidence that Gu Han could become the top-ranked recruit in the Logistics Camp's assessment through his own efforts.

In the following days, Gu Han settled into a routine of hunting day and night, resting at night.

Without the pressure of new recruit training, Ma Tie and the others would handle the camp cleaning duties required of Logistics Soldiers, leaving him free to focus solely on hunting, unburdened by other matters.

However, among the veteran Logistics Soldiers, there was a commotion due to Li Xuan's disappearance.

It had even attracted the attention of many veteran War Soldiers.

"Li Xuan hasn't returned since that day he went to bring the new recruits. Could something have happened?"

"It shouldn't be, right? Although Li Xuan doesn't have much talent for martial arts, he's managed to reach the threshold of a Third-Order Martial Disciple over the years."

"Although Li Xuan has a bad temper and has offended many people, others shouldn't want to kill him.

Even if his combat ability isn't as good as a Third-Order Martial Disciple, after spending years climbing the mountain every day, he probably wouldn't get lost in this mountain forest even with his eyes closed. Self-preservation is definitely not a problem.

However, I seem to have heard that Gu Han, the top-ranked soldier in this batch of logistics personnel, seems to have some conflict with Li Xuan."

The words of an old logistics soldier immediately drew the attention of others.

"Although Gu Han has hunted a few wolf beasts, he's just a newcomer. His strength is estimated to be at most a First-tier Martial Apprentice, close to a Second-tier Martial Apprentice. How could he be Li Xuan's opponent?"

"But, what if we count Gu Han's five War Soldier Brothers?"

Everyone's brows furrowed instantly upon hearing this.

At this moment, they weren't even considering whether Gu Han had killed Li Xuan.

Instead, they were wondering if it was worth offending five War Soldiers for Li Xuan!

Although Li Xuan often offended people, he was exceptionally respectful towards those of higher status than him!

When he returned from hunting, he would also secretly leave some demonic beast meat as tribute for them.

Over the years, some affection had developed.

Now that Li Xuan was in trouble, some of the War Soldiers who often received his tribute were naturally unhappy.

"A bunch of cowards!"

A burly man, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly stood up.

He swept his gaze over everyone with disdain, snorted coldly, "They're just a few new recruits. If you're afraid, I'm not."

After speaking, he strode towards the Logistics Camp.

Even though Lei Chao called them cowards, no one dared to step forward and refute him.

This was because Lei Chao was undoubtedly the number one among them!

He could even rank in the top ten among the thousand War Soldiers of the same batch in their camp!

"It's Lei Chao? I don't recall Lei Chao having any connection with Li Xuan."

"Lei Chao and Li Xuan are barely considered fellow townsmen?"

"No wonder. Being in a foreign land, although fellow townsmen may not always be in contact, they are closer than others."

"Let's go, let's go and see."

The training for veteran warriors wasn't as grueling as that for new recruits. They could arrange their own time, and all training relied on self-discipline.

The group, full of curiosity, followed Lei Chao towards the Logistics Camp.

However, Lei Chao asked around but couldn't find Gu Han in the Logistics Camp. He could only change course and head to the warrior training grounds.

It was already close to noon, and the new recruits' training had just reached its halftime break.

On the arena in the middle of the training grounds, two people were fighting fiercely, covered in blood.

Gu Chen and his brothers were all watching by the side of the arena, cheering for one of them.

That person was Gu Jing, who had just broken through to the Third-Order Martial Disciple realm yesterday.

Her opponent was also a new recruit who had recently broken through to the Third-Order Martial Disciple realm.

The two fought tooth and nail, refusing to yield.

But in the end, Gu Jing was slightly inferior and was defeated.

"It's okay, Gu Jing, you were already amazing."

After all, her opponent had entered the Third-Order Martial Disciple realm a few days earlier. Both in terms of control over their strength and other aspects, they were superior to Gu Jing.

It was only natural that Gu Jing was defeated.

Although Gu Jing felt a bit dejected, she didn't become dispirited because of it.

Just then, a furious roar came from outside the crowd.

"Where are Gu Han's brothers? Get out here for me!"
