Chapter 160

Fang Kexin's eyes lit up. "Shall we visit the other three battalions?"

Gu Xiuwen nodded, "As members of the Command Camp, you must understand the operational models of the other battalions to facilitate command and dispatch at any time."

Xu Jintang immediately stood at attention. "Understood! Captain Gu, when do we depart?"

Gu Xiuwen turned to look at her. "Now."

"Understood!" Fatty Fang and the others replied in unison.

In the afternoon, the dazzling sunlight shone brightly on the earth, making me feel warm all over.

Inside the workshop control room of the Armament Camp battalion.

All the trainees stood in neat and orderly square formations.

The battalion commander addressed the group from the front. "Today is the day the training troops from the Command Camp are coming to visit. Everyone, please be spirited and show the best of our Armament Camp's spirit."

"Yes!"

Standing in the crowd, Xue Zhongqi stood upright with his legs perfectly straight.

"Alright, dismissed. Everyone go back to what you were doing."

After the announcement, everyone dispersed and returned to their assigned areas to continue working diligently.

A few minutes later, the door to the workshop control room was opened.

Then, the deputy commander of the Armament Camp walked in with a smile. At the door, he stopped, stepped slightly to the side, and gestured for him to enter. "Captain Gu, please."

Gu Xiuwen was dressed in a silver-white military uniform with his collar turned up, revealing his Adam's apple. A silver moon pendant was pinned to his waist, swaying gently as he walked.

Xu Jintang and his four companions followed behind, entering the workshop together.

"You know what, we're getting great treatment. While others are still touring outside, we're going straight into the workshop," Fatty Fang muttered to himself from behind.

The incident occurred when Gu Xiuwen led them to the Armament Camp for a tour, and they happened to run into the deputy commander.

The deputy captain had interacted with the elders of the Gu Family before, so he was very enthusiastic and offered to take Gu Xiuwen and his team members to visit the workshop, which led to this trip.

"Our workshop is also divided into different areas. The newly recruited trainee soldiers are currently helping out in the logistics area, responsible for inspecting and classifying basic military equipment parts," the deputy commander explained.

Xu Jintang glanced curiously into the depths of the workshop. "So the further in you go, the more crucial the work becomes?"

The deputy commander looked over with a smile, "That's right, the innermost part of our workshop is the assembly and testing area, responsible for the final step of assembling military equipment and simulating combat experiments."

Xu Jintang became somewhat interested.

When she was in charge of creating Tracking Inscription for the Ordnance and Equipment Depot, she specifically learned about the current state of the military equipment.

She continued, "I've heard that many high-damage weapon systems now come with special enhancements or functional runes to improve their combat effectiveness."

The deputy commander nodded. "The combination of weaponry and inscriptions will make the weapon more lethal. However, the requirements for custom inscriptions are also high, and there are too few inscription masters who can meet our requirements."

Wang Qian, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked, "What is the lethality of the highest-level military equipment and weapons in the current Armament Camp?"

"Well..." The deputy commander shook his head with a smile, "This is a military secret, and I don't know much about it either."

Xu Jintang glanced at Wang Qian casually, said nothing, and continued to follow the deputy captain as they toured the interior.

"Squad leader!" A familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Xu Jintang immediately recognized who it was.

She turned her head.

Xue Zhongqi was waving excitedly in her direction, "I'm here!"

The deputy captain and Gu Xiuwen turned around at the same time.

"You two know each other?" the deputy captain asked.

Xu Jintang nodded, "We're from the same military academy."

"I see." The deputy commander's smile widened. "No wonder Leikedasi was able to become the First Military Academy. Your classmate has performed exceptionally well in our Armament Camp."

Xue Zhongqi walked up to the deputy commander and immediately gave a serious military salute.

"Vice Captain."

"Well, how did today's training go?" the deputy commander asked.

Xue Zhongqi: "It's all finished, and we're currently doing extra practice!"

"Great, your classmate's here. I'll give you twenty minutes to rest and catch up with him," the deputy captain said graciously, waving his hand.

A flicker of excitement flashed in Xue Zhongqi's eyes, "Yes!"

Xu Jintang stood aside, looking at Xue Zhongqi with amazement at his completely transformed appearance.

It's only been a week, and the once carefree and irresponsible Young Master Xue has become so well-behaved?

The Armament Camp is something else.

Gu Xiuwen also looked over, "Then you may all disperse and go on your own to explore. Meet back here in twenty minutes."

"Yes!"

After the meeting ended, Fatty Fang and his friends immediately went to visit and study the areas that interested them.

Xu Jintang didn't move, still observing Xue Zhongqi had undergone many changes.

"Squad leader, have I become more handsome or more dashing? I'm getting embarrassed by you staring at me like that." Xue Zhongqi suddenly snapped open his folding fan and awkwardly held it up to his face.

Xu Jintang: "..."

I thought he had changed, but it turns out he was just pretending.

Chapter 160

Xu Jintang didn't bother with his reply and went straight to the point, "How's it at the Armament Camp?"

Xue Zhongqi cleared his throat, put away his folding fan, and his face returned to seriousness.

"It was alright. I learned a lot of things I wouldn't have encountered in military academy."

Xu Jintang looked at him, "Can you get access to the core area of Armament Camp?"

Xue Zhongqi shook his head. "We trainee soldiers can only do logistics in the outer areas. But our captain thinks highly of me and said that if there's a chance, he'll take me to visit the core area."

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the parts handling area of the workshop.

"This place makes military parts, so some technical experience is required," Xue Zhongqi continued.

Xu Jintang's gaze swept across the entire area, and a topographical map of the entire workshop began to appear in his mind.

Xu Jintang spent the entire morning in the workshop learning about various situations.

She was led to the Armament Camp canteen for lunch.

"Wait, why is the menu at the Armament Camp' mess hall so much more lavish than ours?" Fatty Fang noticed something was amiss and immediately asked.

Wang Qian and Fang Kexin also noticed this problem.

The two exchanged a glance.

"Do the canteens in different camps treat people differently?" Fang Kexin asked.

Xue Zhongqi chuckled twice and quickly explained, "The food in this canteen was improved by the members of the Armament Camp themselves. As you know, many people in the Armament Camp are inscription masters; these guys are the least short of money, and they're also picky eaters."

Fatty Fang sighed enviously, "It's so good to be rich."

Fang Kexin: "It's so good to be rich, add one."

After spending a day touring the Armament Camp, the Command Camp members visited the Logistics Camp the next day.

Xu Jintang's team of five enjoyed another round of VIP treatment with Gu Xiuwen.

However, Xu Jintang did not see Yan Yuting, probably because the Logistics Camp was too busy with training.

On the third day, they arrived at the last Recruit Camp camp, just in time for the Recruit Camp training competition.

"Come on! Who wants to challenge me? Today I'll show you whether the title of number one in the Recruit Camp is just empty talk!" Song Tianqi stood ramrod straight on the stage, hands on his hips.

Xu Jintang had just walked in when she heard his arrogant voice.

Fatty Fang to the side, laughed, "This guy's even more arrogant than me."

Xu Jintang pretended not to recognize him and glanced at the arena with nonchalant ease.

"I've run into an old friend, aren't you going to say hello?" Gu Xiuwen suddenly looked over.

Xu Jintang: "What old friend? I don't know him."

Gu Xiuwen chuckled twice and didn't continue the topic.

Song Tianqi was still shouting and yelling on the stage.

Although he was arrogant, not a single person in the audience stood up to refute him; they all awkwardly lowered their heads.

They were probably terrified of Song Tianqi.

"If no one challenges me, then I'll consider this match a win. Does anyone have any objections?" Song Tianqi continued to ask.

Those below immediately fawned over him.

No, no.

"Brother Tianqi certainly has the ability."

"Alright, then I declare myself the winner of this arena match!" Song Tianqi pointed to the sky and announced in a loud voice.

The audience immediately responded with enthusiastic applause.

Xu Jintang's lips twitched, and he quickly lowered his head, turned around, and walked to the side.

"Hey? Class monitor!" Song Tianqi's loud voice suddenly rang out.

Xu Jintang's face stiffened, and he didn't dare to stop walking, immediately continuing forward.

However, the voice behind him grew louder and louder, "Squad leader, why are you running? It's me!"

Song Tianqi strode up and stood directly in front of Xu Jintang.

The commotion they made instantly attracted the attention of everyone around them.

All eyes in the room turned to this.

Xu Jintang's lips twitched several times before he stopped.

Song Tianqi caught up from behind, looking at him with a surprised expression, "Squad leader, why are you running?"

"It's nothing." Xu Jintang lowered his head and touched his nose.

Fatty Fang stared at the two of them in astonishment. "You... know each other?"

"Yeah, we went to the same military academy." Song Tianqi patted Xu Jintang on the shoulder, his other hand on his hip.

Mo Yuqi looked up and said, "No wonder, they're all from Leikedasi."

Fang Kexin stroked her chin and muttered, "Are there really that many ruthless people in Leikedasi?"

"By the way, why is it only your Command Camp that gets to visit other camps? Our captain said we don't have this activity, and I was disappointed for a long time," Song Tianqi asked, scratching his head.

Xu Jintang gestured with her chin toward Gu Xiuwen's location, "Then you'll have to ask our captain."

Song Tianqi immediately looked over, stared for about ten seconds, and suddenly realized, "Wait, why does this person look so familiar?"
