More People Like Me Than You Know-Who Do You Think You Are?

What conditions could she even propose...

What did she want to get from him?

Actually, she had been tempted to say it just now.

But something like this, of course, shouldn't be... demanded like that, right?

That would be too stupid.

Du Qiangwei leaned against a large rock, her quiet gaze fixed on Wang Ji, who was lying on his side some distance away, hugging a Rocket Launcher and flipping through a book again. Countless times before, she had felt this unwillingness in her heart.

Why had she been a few days later than everyone else?

Just a few days...

Why was it that the moment her heart had begun to stir, before she could even test the waters and take that first step, his heart already belonged to someone?

Why was it that they had no emotional foundation at all, yet he was already devoted to someone else?

He had not left her even the slightest chance...

And just now, he had directly shut her down with his words.

This was fucking infuriating!

Du Qiangwei shot him two vicious glares, then took a deep breath.

"So you knew I liked you?"

"Huh? Mm, I did."

Wang Ji looked up at her in surprise, then nodded. Finally, he lowered his head and continued reading.

That strange, calm reaction made Du Qiangwei's heart race. She took another deep breath and looked at him with slight nervousness.

"Then... what do you think about it?"

She could practically hear her own heartbeat. She did not know why she was facing such a strange... confession.

"Lots of people like me. Who do you think you are?"

Without even raising his eyelids, he hugged the Rocket Launcher and rolled over, leaving her only his back.

"Big Brother advises you not to mess with Big Brother. If it weren't for you, Big Brother would've at least made it to first base by now. Big Brother wants to hold hands, Big Brother wants hugs, Big Brother wants kisses. Can you stop blocking Big Brother's progress bar?" His lazy voice seemed to drift with the languid wind.

It filled Du Qiangwei's stomach with anger!

Her chest puffed up with rage. She clenched her fists, closed her eyes, then opened them.

She stood, walked behind him, and kicked him!

"I'll fucking kick you to death! Kick you to death! Kick you to death! What are you acting so smug for? What are you acting so smug for? I'll kick you to death! I have a condition! Why shouldn't I make a condition? You're not allowed to chase anyone else anymore! You have to chase me!"

"Tch~"

"Tch my ass! What are you so proud of? I'll fucking kick you to death! Kick you to death! From now on, I'll pick you up and throw you around every single day! Let's see you act smug! Keep acting smug!"

Wealth cannot corrupt him, poverty cannot shake him, and force cannot bend him. That is what makes a true man.

"You carry a Rocket Launcher around like it's your wife every day? Is that even in the game?"

Leina clicked her tongue, hands on her hips as she lifted her chin at Wang Ji and teased him.

The hour-long warm-up run had quickly passed. As for what had happened between Du Qiangwei and Wang Ji, no one knew.

Du Qiangwei claimed she had figured out the cause of her earlier strange behavior and fobbed them off with muscle spasms. No one pressed her on it.

Since she herself said she was fine, then naturally she was fine.

Leina had also just assigned everyone their specialized training. In truth, it was simply having them make greater use of their respective abilities and master them as skillfully as possible.

There were not many formal classes over those half a month—one could even say there were practically none—because these people were truly uneven in their abilities, and their basic knowledge structures were incomplete. Even if they were taught, they would not understand.

Most of their training was focused on controlling their bodies, physical conditioning, and their initial abilities that could be used without much knowledge. These were the innate foundational talents of Super Soldiers.

Powerful physical fitness, speed, reflexes, strength, eyesight, and so on.

These were the easiest things to grasp and develop, things that could be used without needing much knowledge.

For example, Zhao Xin's genetic model was De Xing's Spear. Although he did not have a spear, his abilities were indeed related to speed. After his Super Gene was activated, his training task was to run more.

The more he ran, the faster he became. Little by little, through that experience, he began to master his genetic abilities.

Qi Lin's genetic model was God River Sniper. Her vision was sharp and her hearing acute. Her training was sniper practice, adapting to her extraordinary senses while improving her marksmanship.

Cheng Yaowen was rather fantastical. His genetic model was Heart of the Earth, allowing him to summon rock and sand, forming them into enormous stone hands for attacking or other uses.

Du Qiangwei, Space-Time Rose, could alter space and manipulate wormholes. She was the tactical core of the entire Super Soldier Company.

Du Qiangwei had her own training plan: continuously carrying out Space Jumps, transporting herself while equipped with Dark Alloy Armor, and adapting to the use of her God River Armor.

As for transporting others, she still could not easily do that, much less apply it in combat tactics.

Liu Chuang and Rui Mengmeng were much simpler. They either ran or jumped, chopped down mountains and felled trees, or grabbed axes and blades to fight one another.

They belonged to the warrior type. Even if they had special abilities, they lacked the necessary knowledge to master and develop them.

That left Leina, Ge Xiao Lun, and Wang Ji.

With everyone else arranged, Leina led the two of them elsewhere.

Leina could hardly be blamed for feeling helpless. If you saw someone carrying a Rocket Launcher over a meter long everywhere he went every day, you would have to make a few remarks too.

And he was carrying a bunch of obsolete models, probably ones Huaxia no longer even used. No one knew whether this guy had picked up a pile of junk and treated it like treasure.

"Hehe, of course there isn't one in the game. But as long as there is one in real life, that's enough." Wang Ji grinned foolishly, and with the way he hugged the Rocket Launcher, he looked like a complete idiot.

"You really don't know how to ask for something better when you're getting your stuff back." Leina shook her head helplessly again, feeling that there was really something wrong with this kid's brain.

Wang Ji smiled without saying anything. Of course, he knew Rocket Launchers of this caliber were antiques, but they were exactly what suited him.

Those new rocket launchers were several meters long and weighed hundreds of pounds. Holding one, he would not even fit through the cafeteria door, much less go anywhere else.

These were perfect: cheap, plentiful, and light.

"Then, sis... what should I do?" Ge Xiao Lun scratched his head and asked.

He wanted superpowers too...

Maybe then, the girl he liked would look at him a few more times.

"Mm, all right." Leina smiled at that, patted Ge Xiao Lun on the shoulder, and said, "Just stand here and don't move, okay? We'll give you some special training right away."

There was a trace of something odd in her smile.

Then, with one hand, she summoned an ancient-looking greatshield. With the other, she grabbed Wang Ji and quickly retreated.

Only Ge Xiao Lun remained standing there foolishly, waiting.

Wang Ji instinctively looked at the dozen or so artillery vehicles that had already appeared in the distance and had a bad feeling...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Behind the greatshield, Leina had him tucked under her arm by the neck as they hid. Yet he could still see Ge Xiao Lun's "special training" through his domain...

It was fucking tragic!

They were bombarding him with artillery!

Towering artillery flames erupted from the center of the field, instantly swallowing Ge Xiao Lun's six-foot figure. Sand, rocks, and dust flew everywhere, while massive shockwaves blasted in all directions, pressing Leina's hair flat against Wang Ji's face.

More than a dozen artillery vehicles were firing directly at him!

The horrifying sight made Wang Ji tremble in terror, trapped beneath Leina's arm and face-to-face with a great truth.

That was too ruthless!

"All right, aren't you getting up yet? Is big sis's breastplate that soft?"

She slapped the back of his head, making his forehead knock against her breastplate again.

Wang Ji got up as if nothing had happened. Using Leina's greatshield as cover, the two slowly retreated.

Meanwhile, Ge Xiao Lun was still being bombarded.

"Hard as a rock. It knocked everything in front of my eyes black." He held the Rocket Launcher calmly, his tone equally calm.

"Oh? Taking advantage of me and then acting innocent? Should I be careful not to leave you with some psychological trauma, then?"

"No need for that. Actually... what would be wrong with it happening one more time?"
