"Another newcomer has arrived," everyone said, turning their gaze to Xu Qing and Luo Feng.

Luo Feng nodded to the Huaxia people, while Xu Qing remained indifferent; he only showed a gentle attitude to people he knew.

"Xu Qing, you wait here. Also, you are now a member of the Elite Training Camp and will have your own student code name, which is six digits."

"The first four digits are the year and month you officially joined the Elite Training Camp. You don't need to think about that, so you only need to figure out the last two digits."

"I'll take Luo Feng to take the test first. You can think about it here. Tell me when we come out," Yang Hui said.

"Okay," Xu Qing nodded.

Afterwards, Yang Hui led Luo Feng into a room deep inside the hall for a Level B test.

Xu Qing sat down at the side. "Code name, code name, just pick any two numbers, right? 11, 22, 33 or something like that? That seems easier to remember and looks better."

"How about something more auspicious, like 66, 88, or 99? Which one is better...?"

Just as Xu Qing was still considering his code name, a young Huaxia man walked over with a smile, "Hello, you're Huaxia too, right?"

Hearing the voice, Xu Qing looked up at the person who had come in. "Yes, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, let's get to know each other. I'm also Huaxia, from Northeast Base City. My name is Lin Hong," he introduced himself.

"Xu Qing, from Jiangnan Base City," Xu Qing replied.

"Xu Qing, are you also here to take the test?" Lin Hong asked.

Xu Qing shook her head. "No."

"It's alright, even those in the Basic Training Camp have a chance to be promoted," Lin Hong comforted them with a smile.

"What Basic Training Camp? I'm also in the Elite Training Camp, I just don't have to take the test. You're overthinking it," Xu Qing rolled her eyes. She's really letting her imagination run wild.

Lin Hong was shocked, his eyes widening. "You don't have to take the test?!"

"Yes, what's wrong? Do we have to take a test to get in?" Xu Qing nodded.

"This..." Lin Hong was speechless. This was the first time he had encountered a student who could enter the Elite Training Camp without passing a test.

He scrutinized Xu Qing closely. She had big eyes, a small, cute face, a slender figure, and short, black hair. "Xu Qing, do you have a boyfriend?"

Lin Hong was too embarrassed to ask Xu Qing directly whether she was male or female, so he used a more tactful approach.

"What boyfriend? I only have a girlfriend, not a boyfriend. I'm a guy," Xu Qing her eyes at him. This kid really thought he wouldn't understand if she phrased it differently.

"Huh?!" Lin Hong was even more shocked than before; he had thought Xu Qing was most likely a girl.

"What do you mean, 'huh'? What's wrong with me being a guy?" Xu Qing was speechless. How old is he? Why is he still so loud and boisterous?

The other person looked to be at least twenty-five or twenty-six years old, six or seven years older than him, and yet so immature.

"No problem, no problem," Lin Hong quickly waved his hand.

"Look at you, so silly and not very bright. Don't talk to me, or I'll catch your stupidity and become stupid too," Xu Qing said with a look of disgust, turning away and ignoring him.

Lin Hong was embarrassed; he hadn't expected to leave such an impression on others.

Watching Xu Qing's slender back, Lin Hong ultimately said nothing and turned away.

"Is it really not a girl?" He still couldn't believe it and suspected that Xu Qing wasn't telling the truth.

"Lin Hong, how did it go? Did you come to take the test?" As soon as Lin Hong returned, several Huaxia people asked him.

Lin Hong shook his head. "He said he doesn't need to take the test; he's already a member of the Elite Training Camp."

"What?! How is this possible? This must be a lie," they all reacted exactly like Lin Hong, finding it unbelievable.

"They have no reason to lie to me. Besides, once Teacher Yang comes out, we can ask her and find out if it's true," Lin Hong said.

The group glanced at Xu Qing and said, "That's right, we'll just have to ask Teacher Yang later."

About twenty minutes later, Yang Hui and Luo Feng came out.

As soon as the two came out, everyone in the hall looked over, very curious about the outcome.

"Teacher, did he pass the test?" a young Huaxia man asked.

Yang Hui smiled and nodded. "It's through."

Upon hearing this answer, the trainees' expressions changed.

"Huh? Where's Xu Qing?" Yang Hui noticed that Xu Qing hadn't come over and looked around.

"There," Luo Feng pointed to a corner.

Xu Qing was sitting there, muttering something that sounded like numbers.

"Xu Qing? Xu Qing, what are you doing?" Yang Hui shouted loudly.

Xu Qing snapped out of her daze, turned her head to look, and asked, "Is the test over? Did you pass? If not, I'm going to go and tattle on you."

Yang Hui and Luo Feng both twitched at the corners of their mouths. So you didn't hear anything, huh? "You heard it through."

"Hehe, that's good, that's good. Actually, I don't really like tattling either. It's a very unethical thing to do, and I strongly condemn it from the bottom of my heart," Xu Qing stood up and said righteously.

Hearing his words, Yang Hui and Luo Feng were speechless, only thinking that he... was really shameless.

"Have you decided on a code name yet?" Yang Hui asked.

Xu Qing looked troubled. "It would be so much better if it were three numbers, like 666, 888, 668, 886, 688... That sounds so nice. Two numbers just don't sound good."

Yang Hui was completely baffled. What kind of nonsense was this? It was just a code name, only two numbers. Did it really need to take so long to figure it out?

You're even worrying about whether it sounds good or not? You're really just wasting your time.

"Just two numbers, don't worry about whether they sound good or not," Yang Hui glared at him, "Can't you be a little more reliable? Stop acting like a child."

Luo Feng, standing to the side, was barely able to hold back his laughter; he was struggling to suppress it and really wanted to burst out laughing.

His future brother-in-law is quite the character.

"Then let's say goodbye," Xu Qing pondered for a long time before finally making his decision.

Yang Hui chuckled. "For good luck? You actually believe in that?"

"No, no, no, Uncle Yang, you underestimate me. Think about it again carefully," Xu Qing said, raising a finger and waving it.

Yang Hui stroked his chin, "Eighty-eight, eighty-eight..."

"Pfft..." Xu Qing immediately covered her mouth, her shoulders twitching, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

Yang Hui froze for a moment, then realized what was happening, looked at Xu Qing, and his face darkened. "You brat... you want a beating, don't you?"

Xu Qing immediately took a few steps back. "Uncle Yang, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Seeing Xu Qing pretending to be confused when he knew the truth, Yang Hui was furious. He realized that this kid was getting more and more mischievous.

Could it be because he left home and Qin Lin was no longer there to take care of him?

Luo Feng, who was standing next to him, also realized what was going on. His lips twitched. How ruthless! Shouting out those numbers directly turned into acknowledging a godfather.
