Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 11: When Something Happens, It Really Means Killing People

"Teacher Zhou, how is my physical condition?"

Early in the morning, Lu Zhao arrived at the edge of the playground again and squatted into an odd horse stance, with his center of gravity heavily tilted backward and his hands not allowed to extend forward for weight. This put a greater strain on his leg muscles, so at first, he had to hold onto a tree for support.

"Your reaction speed is quite good, and your other qualities... are quite good among ordinary people."

Zhou Changsheng said, "You should strengthen your body a bit more. As I said before, eat more and exercise more."

However, he didn't know that the so-called reaction speed was actually brought about by dog ​​breathing.

This is not his fault. Even if Qin Shi Huang came, he would never have imagined that someone would have mastered special skills before even starting to practice martial arts.

Lu Zhao's focus wasn't actually on himself; he continued, "Is Chen Qinhu alright?"

"Indeed, he has a natural talent in terms of physical attributes."

No matter what Zhou Changsheng said, he was deeply impressed by the muscular sports committee member. "He is suited for martial arts, but his family doesn't seem to support it. It's fate that he was recruited."

Lu Zhao said, "Teacher Zhou, I've heard that experts get itchy when they see a good seedling."

Zhou Changsheng realized what nonsense he was about to spout: "I only drank your wine, not his."

"We only drank one bottle, there's one left."

"..."

"Anyway, you're teaching one or two, so why not just do it on the side? After all, he's running errands for you every time he's in class, so even if he doesn't do anything special, he's still doing his job."

Lu Zhao took the opportunity to persuade him for several more minutes.

"Alright, have him come over."

In the end, Zhou Changsheng nodded in agreement.

There are only zero times and countless times for everything. Once Lu Zhao opened his mouth, one more wouldn't make a difference.

Seeing this, Lu Zhao was overjoyed, then, taking advantage of the situation, said, "Actually, I have a younger sister, and I think she's also very talented..."

"Why don't you invite all your extended family members over?"

"You're going to start a training course?"

"Enough talk, stand still!"

.....

[Void Wind Long Silent Lv4: Loading progress 28%]

By the end of the day, Lu Zhao had advanced the loading progress by another 10%, and as his relationship with Zhou Changsheng grew closer, it would only accelerate further. At this rate, he would definitely be able to obtain that red-level four special skill before enlisting.

After get off work, he and Chen Qinhu left the school together.

"Zhao, thank you."

Chen Qinhu said frankly, "I couldn't help at all. It's all thanks to you that I was able to learn the 'Strengthening Body Method' from Teacher Zhou."

Lu Zhao waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense. I was mostly doing this for myself. I just happened to say a few more words and invited you to come along."

"I will repay you."

Chen Qinhu stubbornly insisted, "Teacher Zhou's cultivation techniques are clearly extraordinary. We'll definitely be able to squeeze into the elite troops in the future, and maybe even earn military merits!"

He knew that he was physically fit, but as Zhou Changsheng said, his family was poor and he couldn't learn martial arts.

Furthermore, due to his poor family background, he was always in a state of inferiority, feeling that others had connections while he only had physical strength, so even after enlisting, he might not be able to surpass others.

But now that he has Zhou Changsheng's "body strengthening method", he has become confident.

"Look."

Lu Zhao picked up his phone, no longer dwelling on the topic.

He had to admit that there was indeed a utilitarian element to helping Chen Qinhu. Having more help would increase his chances of survival on the battlefield. But more importantly, the two had a good relationship, and Chen was an honest and simple person. Helping him wouldn't be a mistake.

At that moment, a new group message appeared on the screen of his raised phone.

[Zhang Zilian: Let's go to the military post together tomorrow.]

[Huang Chan: Aren't you living with your family?]

[Zhang Zilian: From the night of conscription, we must prepare ourselves to become Qin warriors. We must be independent; are we supposed to go to the battlefield and still need our families?]

Huang Chan then spoke.

Two other people in the group chimed in, and Lu Zhao and Chen Qinhu also chose to join.

After returning home, Lu Zhao told his parents that he would be reporting for duty the next day. Gu Yong naturally agreed wholeheartedly, while Zhang Shuhua was a little worried and kept giving him instructions for a long time.

The next morning, Lu Zhao took the light rail and met up with Chen Qinhu at the transfer station, and they headed north.

All the prefectures and cities of the Qin Empire were very large, starting at the size of Shanghai before the Qin Dynasty, or even larger. The urban areas were divided into many centers, more like multiple interconnected city clusters.

Therefore, although the military post is nominally within the city limits, it is actually quite far away. It takes an hour to reach the city by maglev light rail. On Earth, that speed would be almost enough to travel from Chengdu to Chongqing by high-speed rail.

However, the light rail has many more stops than the high-speed rail, so the actual distance is not that far.

After exiting the station, Lu Zhao saw a completely different scene.

The buildings here have more antique elements than those in ordinary residential areas. The buildings are grand and imposing, mostly built on high platforms, and the stairs and steps are carved with phoenix patterns.

The ordinary buildings, built on the basis of the common modern form, have been covered with roofs in the style of Qin and Han dynasties. Lu Zhao does not understand architecture, but he can only tell that, unlike the upturned eaves of the Ming and Qing dynasties, these ancient-style roofs are flat and downward, which do not look as lively, but are much more heavy and stable.

Underfoot, the sidewalk tiles are interspersed with cloud and dragon patterns, which are quite exquisite from an art appreciation perspective. However, they are probably all molded.

As for the colors, when he visited the Forbidden City before, he saw that most of the buildings were decorated with gold tiles and red lacquer, but here they were decorated with blue tiles and black lacquer, presenting a solemn atmosphere.

This is a military zone that exists in all the cities of the Qin Dynasty. It has a very high level of control, and a large area is not open to the general public.

"Don't look around."

Chen Qinhu whispered, "There are patrols over there. Be careful not to get arrested and interrogated about whether you're a spy for another race."

Lu Zhao followed his gaze and saw a group of five Qin soldiers at the crossroads ahead, dressed in black combat uniforms, helmets, boots, and fully equipped with guns and swords.

He was both amused and exasperated, thinking to himself that this guy was too timid. Both of them were students from the Great Qin Empire with impeccable credentials, soon-to-be recruits, what was there to be afraid of?

However, before the thought could even cross his mind, he suddenly heard a shout from the patrolling group of soldiers.

"Stop! Check your identification."

They stopped a man with a ponytail and glasses.

Upon seeing the soldiers approaching, the bespectacled man visibly panicked. He reached into his pocket, seemingly to retrieve his identification, but suddenly turned and ran away unnoticed.

The soldiers were not fooled at all and moved in an instant.

One of them burst forth with the speed of a cheetah, catching up with the bespectacled man in the blink of an eye. He grabbed the man's neck with one hand like an iron clamp, and drew his sword with the other.

puff!

A knife pierced his abdomen, and the bespectacled man fell to the ground.

The other four soldiers were not idle either. They dispersed to different directions along the street and drew their guns to sweep at the passersby.

"Halt! One more step and you will be killed on sight!"

Looking at the thick, black gun barrel, Lu Zhao realized he had misjudged Chen Qinhu.

It's not that he's a coward; the Qin warriors really do kill when they're in trouble.

One of them walked over, glanced at the two young faces, and said, "Identity documents."

The two were there to register, so they naturally brought their belongings. After taking them out, the other party actually took out something that looked like a mini POS machine and swiped it.

The soldier, having apparently seen the two men's conscription notices, gave a cold laugh: "Soldiers, turn right at the intersection ahead. Don't wander off. Wait until we lift your confinement before you leave."

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Zhao didn't have a joking expression, but he didn't seem too scared either.

Wu Zu raised an eyebrow, smiled naturally this time, and turned to check the identities of the passersby behind him.
