Chapter 3: Training Camp
"Stand up straight, you rice buckets! What do you think of this place? Can you still bring back a large sum of money from the Boy Scout camp when you leave? With your weak chicken arms now, sending you to the closed beta is better than driving a group of donkeys into battle! ”
On the edge of the desert on a cool day, the black instructor's gruff and awkward Chinese accent echoed again and again among the undulating sand dunes. Hundreds of beta volunteers www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion were divided into more than 20 phalanxes, each of which was equipped with a mercenary-turned-instructor as a physical training guide and daily administrator. In the just-unveiled fourth-generation "Law of Predation" closed beta training camp, many players who had no foundation before are undergoing a double test of physical fitness and technology.
It's a deserted town near the northern edge of the Sahara Desert, where daytime temperatures can reach over 40 degrees Celsius, even in the best of seasons. Every morning, more than two hours of heat-resistant training made the sand under the campers' feet dry and wet and dry, and finally condensed into a snow-white salt frost. When the campers finish their training, the local herders drive the goats to the edge of the training ground, where they lick the salt on the ground. At this time, the tired campers will invariably look at the leisurely goats, and their eyes reveal more than just the yearning and coveting of roasted whole sheep.
After a short period of mobilization and mobilization, Lu Pingchuan and 526 other beta volunteers were taken by plane to this remote and desolate desert town. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, probably no one would have believed that there was such a large training camp in this town surrounded by mud walls and camels, which was as complete and functionally advanced as a military base.
However, the initial exclamation did not last long, and soon, the rationing of water supply, militarized management, harsh conditions, and the rough words and deeds of the instructors gave the group of urban men and women a series of disadvantages. Less than a week after the start of the training camp, no less than 30 people voluntarily quit - not counting those who forgot to sprinkle insect repellent powder at night and were bitten by a desert snake and rushed to the hospital.
At this moment, Lu Pingchuan, like the others who stayed, had a 25kg equipment bag in his hand, standing motionless in the scorching sun. The camouflage jacket that I had just changed in the morning was now covered with sand and salt inside and out, and it was very uncomfortable to rub against the skin. In the past ten days, all the campers who stayed behind could feel a transformation from the outside to the inside quietly going on in themselves - when he walked out of the bathroom last night, he glanced at his glasses, and the dark and hard facial contours and the nascent lines of his chest and abdomen muscles almost made Lu Pingchuan dare not recognize himself.
", just with this body of tendon meat that you have practiced, it's worth this trip!" At this moment, on the right side of Lu Pingchuan, a round-faced young man with a slightly short head was gritting his teeth and sighing. His words immediately drew a rebuttal from his teammates behind him: "Little Lizi, look at you for a little bit!" After playing two BB bullets, I was so happy that I couldn't find the north when I practiced the arms of the two chicks! If you want to leave, get out of here, don't come to rob the 3 million with the master! ”
"I'll go, Brother Nan, are you there? If you really enter the internal test, who is afraid of whom......" "It doesn't matter if you go or not, with Xiao Lizi's pair of lap legs, he can't rush to the championship if he is equipped with two motors." The round-faced young man was about to refute, but his teammate on the right spoke first, making several people around him unable to hold their breath and snicker, and their shoulders trembled. The round-faced young man blushed, and couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "The pig kidneys are just good-looking!" Lao Tzu looks at you a lot, and I feel that it nourishes yin and yang! ”
Everyone's shoulders trembled again, until the reminder of "the instructor is here" came from the back row, and several people stopped talking. Lu Pingchuan moved his somewhat stiff wrist, and felt a little relaxed in his heart - in this boring desert, there are so many brothers who love to talk witty, it is really a great gift from God to him.
The above three people are all Lu Pingchuan's roommates in the training camp, named Li Wenjie, Situ Nan, and Zhu Yaoming.
In addition to the regular activities of the training camp, most of the private time, the campers will consciously form small groups in the form of "dormitories" for free activities. Lu Pingchuan, Li Wenjie, Situ Nan, and Zhu Yaoming are roommates in the same dormitory, and in just ten days, several peers from Tiannan and Haibei have formed irreversible friendships, which has added a lot of color to the originally difficult training camp life.
At the end of the two-hour heat-resistant training, all the campers went to the cafeteria to pick up their lunches. Taking advantage of the relaxation time during lunch, Lu Pingchuan's three roommates continued to fight - Li Wenjie was jointly ridiculed by Situ Nan and Zhu Yaoming, and his round face turned into a pig's liver color. Seeing that the little guy was a little angry, Lu Pingchuan hurriedly came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, don't keep taking Wenjie to have fun, it's not easy for everyone to get together, and the bonus is not a matter of maybe, if Xiao Lizi really hits the jackpot, it's not good to talk about it in the future." ”
"That's it, Brother Lu is right! Who knows who is going to do it now? Maybe I'll be Li Million when I come out in a circle in the game, and when the time comes, you will come to hug your thighs, and you won't be able to look at you squarely! Li Wenjie, who was still angry just now, heard Lu Pingchuan's help. Immediately, I got up again. Li Wenjie is the youngest of the four, he just turned 19 years old this year, and there is a childishness in his words and deeds that cannot be concealed, and the other three actually take care of him during training, of course, because of his simple temper that is full of joy and anger, the three of them usually tease him.
"It's not fun to say this, Lao Lu, this kid doesn't entertain our brothers on weekdays, but I haven't seen you administer justice for us at that time!" Zhu Yaoming, who was sitting opposite Lu Pingchuan, suddenly restrained his smile and asked, this black and thin man from southern China is a solid and capable person, and treats people warmly, just because his chin is a little covered with the sky, why did he get the nickname of "pig kidney" when he first came, and he was a little angry every time he heard someone call him.
"Eh, you don't understand this, do you? Brothers and brothers, the food is the same and the bed is the same. You see that Xiao Lizi has been diligent since he entered the camp, Brother Lu is long and Brother Lu is short all day long, and he almost didn't give a warm quilt before and after the saddle. This Lao Lu's heart is also fleshy, and he can't pretend not to see it, right? Do you say that people can not feel distressed? Can we compare the two of us? You are congenitally deficient enough for me to be yellow yesterday, how can there be a small plum with this little fresh meat to be competitive~" Situ Nan, who was sitting with Zhu Yaoming, said slowly. He is the oldest of the four, but he is unreliable in his speech and deeds, and occasionally there are some literary and artistic young people, and he has the nickname of "Sanxian Nan" when he comes and goes-the owner of the partial life is not ashamed but proud.
"Sanxian Nan Lao Tzu said that you are an ancestor! cough cough cough cough ...... "Li Wenjie, who had just finished his hair, exploded again when he heard this, and wanted to scold back before he could swallow his mouthful, but he choked himself and coughed again and again, staring at Situ Nan and saying a whole sentence. Seeing this posture, the three of them had to pat their backs and hand over the water for a while, but they didn't expect this baby to appreciate it, and the first thing they said when they relieved their breath was to point to Situ Nan's nose and say, "Tonight's simulated warehouse!" Duel! The loser has to stand in the middle of this cafeteria, and the winner is called Dad! ”
"Hehe, okay, I'm going to decide your son!" Situ Nan laughed and agreed, but then turned his head and added to Lu Pingchuan, "One-on-one, two wins in three games, no teamwork and no substitutions, Lao Lu, you are not allowed to interfere!" ”
There is a reason why the three of them are in awe of Lu Pingchuan.
Compared with the harsh physical training in the morning, the theoretical classes and scenario simulation training conducted indoors in the afternoon are much more enjoyable for the campers. The remaining 400 people were divided into 25 classes, each with a theory instructor and five equipment instructors, who needed to complete one hour of game-related theoretical knowledge learning and three hours of tactics, target shooting, realistic combat, technical training and so on every afternoon. Compared to the boring morning training time, this three-hour enrichment content is enough to make all campers enthusiastic.
In addition to the realistic battle, what made the campers of Lu Pingchuan's seventh class look forward to it more is their theoretical instructor - to Lu Pingchuan's surprise, Elise will also come to this deserted town, and also serve as the theoretical instructor of their class.
"What a coincidence." Recalling that at the beginning of the first day of class, Elise, who was dressed in military uniform, greeted him generously in a whistle, and Lu Pingchuan still blushed uncontrollably. Even during the teaching period, Elise never shied away from the favor and care of Lu Pingchuan from other campers. The identity of "special recruitment" spread far and wide, and over time, in the entire seventh class, Lu Pingchuan obtained a special status that was inexplicable. Some people are green-eyed and some are skeptical, but that doesn't stop everyone from seeing him as the biggest competitor in the game of the future.
Lu Pingchuan was originally a little uneasy about these discussions and conjectures, but as this impression continued to deepen among the campers, he occasionally felt inexplicably that he should indeed have something extraordinary. After all, Lu Pingchuan was born in a prestigious school, and his theoretical literacy was indeed better than that of most campers, and the fact that he was able to survive the brutal physical training also gave Lu Pingchuan great confidence.
"Let's first review what we talked about yesterday, who will answer what are the four basic classes in the game setting of "Law of Predator"?" Even in a camouflage uniform, Elise still looks so delicate and eye-catching. She automatically ignored the arms raised by the group of men under the podium, turned to Lu Pingchuan and said, "Mr. Lu, can you please answer?" ”
"Uh...... They are a sniper, a fighter, a race car driver, and a medic officer. Hearing this, Lu Pingchuan stood up honestly, avoiding the eyes around him and Elise's deep blue eyes as deep as a lake in a calmest manner as possible, "...... That's it. ”
"What are the characteristics of their professions?" Elise didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go easily.
"Snipers are good at long-range and trap strikes; Fighters are good at infiltration and melee combat; Racers are suitable for mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare; Medical officers are auxiliary professions and are specially protected by the rules of the game. Lu Pingchuan said with a glance.
"Very well, can you elaborate on the sub-classes and their characteristics of these four professions?"
"The Sniper can be transformed into a Heavy with a superior range and attack power, and a Demomanist, with the latter being able to use most trap-like equipment to create the most varied attack levels; Fighters can be converted into Killers and Armored Divisions, the former is further enhanced in stealth and sneak attacks, and the latter can be equipped with heavy melee equipment such as Biomimetic Armor for the highest defense; Racers can be converted into Rangers and Heavy Riders, with the former being a high-agility, high-speed mid-range output; The latter can use heavy mobile firepower equipment, and has the highest attack power in all classes; Medic officers can be converted to the White Butcher, a bioweapon-wide assault class that is no longer protected by the rules, and the Red Angel, a full-time healer......"
"Very good! Have a seat. After Lu Pingchuan memorized a whole paragraph of theoretical knowledge, Yili's undisguised praise and appreciation made the other campers present envy him. Feeling that the flying red on his face had spread to the root of his ears, Lu Pingchuan hurriedly sat down and buried his head in the book, but as soon as he sat down, he was elbowed by Situ Nan behind his back, and then his obscene laughter with great personal characteristics came:
"Hehe, Lao Lu, you can do it! Is it good for Yanmar? I'm not interested in asking for a phone call for my buddy, and I'll send you eighteen hooves as a thank you gift! ”
"Don't make a fuss, go to class." Lu Pingchuan turned his head in embarrassment. For him, who has been dull and depressed for more than 20 years, it is still a little difficult to adapt to such an important life.
