Chapter 47: As Long as You're Human, You Must Attend!

  （0047）

  When Xia Xingxiao heard the names of the three, she almost burst out laughing. How could there be such a naming style? Not only did they look strange, but their names were also weird. And this Li Yuzhi was also an oddball, actually gathering such three teammates.

  No wonder someone said before, if Li Yuzhi insists on not changing people, he will definitely not be able to invite substitutes. It's indeed the case. With these three weirdos around, others would need some courage to join in. Even idiots wouldn't expect these three to win the game!

  The conscription system of the federal army is also in need of a thorough review. What's going on here? People who don't want to join the military are being forced to do so. Even cripples, hunchbacks and fat people are being dragged into the ranks. If reforms aren't made, the federal army will eventually become a gathering place for all sorts of freaks.

  Li Yuzi finished speaking, and the three old men seemed to have no reaction. To be precise, they didn't have absolutely no reaction. The Buddha's eyelids lifted slightly. The Buddha's eyebrows moved slightly. The Buddha's fat seemed to tremble slightly. Li Yuzi could only apologize to Xia Xing and say: "Sorry, they have... some problems with that aspect."

  As he said that, he pointed to his own head. Indeed, the three of them not only had problems with their physical appearance but also with their brains. It's no wonder they were beaten by Yan Baoqing until they were rolling all over the ground. With these three guys around, even if Li Yuzhi had incredible skills, it would be impossible for him to beat any normal team!

  Xia Xingxiao pulled Li Yuzhi aside and asked knowingly, "Are you talking about IQ?"

  Li Yuzi said with some emotion: "Yes. Among the new recruits of our batch, only those three had some problems in their brains. You also know that the federal army's recruitment system has a lot of problems. As long as they are not disabled, it is impossible for them to retire. So, the higher-ups handed them over to me to lead. Now, I need your help."

  Xia Xing said in surprise: "Your superior... assigned you to bring them?"

  Li Yuzhi's face was somewhat gloomy. He said slowly: "Xia Xingxiao, I know you may not like them. To be honest, at first, I didn't like them either. I also know that bringing them onto the battlefield will definitely make us a burden. But if we don't bring them, those three going onto the battlefield alone, I'm afraid they'll be killed by the enemy as soon as they show their faces."

  "So, you're going to take all three of them onto the battlefield?" Xia Xingxiao said with some helplessness.

  He figured it out, Li Yuzi is that kind of standard soldier. They have a bellyful of hot blood, willing to contribute everything for the country. They are brave, loyal, hardworking, friendly, selfless and disciplined. They possess all the merits of an excellent soldier. They are the backbone of the Federal Army, the spine of the Federal Army, and the model for all federal soldiers.

  Perhaps his views and those of Li Yuzi were at odds. However, this did not prevent him from thinking that Li Yuzi was a good man and an outstanding military officer. Perhaps others would think they were foolish and naive. But they themselves certainly wouldn't have thought so. And such good people are already rare in the federal army.

  In fact, apart from Li Yuzi, who is a standard soldier, others are absolutely unwilling to carry three burdens onto the battlefield. They will definitely take the most direct approach to get rid of them. And the result of being gotten rid of by them has only one outcome - death. A soldier with a bad brain is absolutely the first target to be slaughtered on the battlefield.

  Li Yuzhi's expression became even more somber. His eyes were clearly filled with a hint of sadness, as if he had recalled some painful past events. It wasn't until after a long while that his expression slowly recovered, and in a low tone, he said: "Xia Xingxiao, we are all soldiers. We are brothers, closer than real brothers. We cannot easily give up on any comrade. No matter what situation we encounter, we cannot abandon our own brothers. This is what my squad leader told me when I first enlisted."

  Xia Xing said hesitantly: "That superior of yours, which one is it?"

  "He has already made the ultimate sacrifice. Two years ago, when the Sand Bandits attacked Ayleaf Star, he deliberately stayed behind to cover his comrades' retreat and sacrificed himself."

  Xia Xing Xiao nodded silently. As the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together" and "people are divided into groups". Only those officers who are willing to sacrifice themselves and make others whole can bring out soldiers like Li Yuzhi. If an officer does not set an example with his own actions, no matter how beautifully he speaks, it is all useless.

  Li Yuzi took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, although their IQ is a bit of a problem, on the battlefield, they are all very skilled. You should also know that God is fair, they lack something in some aspects, but in another aspect, they will definitely get compensation."

  Xia Xingxiao could only smile bitterly.

  He thought of his own 50 million star coins.

  Originally thought it was a sure win, now I'm afraid I'll be left out in the cold.

  Does Ma Peng have a bet? If not, he would like to take back the 50 million star coins. If everyone is a normal person like Li Yuzi, then these 50 million star coins may become 250 million. However, with Buddha Head, Buddha Pavilion and Buddha Ancestor around, he dare not guarantee it.

  Li Yuzi said: "Buddha's head, come here, this is our new partner, say hello to him. From now on, he will be one of us in seeking Buddha."

  A Buddha-like face walked over with no expression, looking at Xia Xingxiao, as if wooden.

  Fortunately, he didn't reveal that ugly smile, nor did he drool. Otherwise, Xia Xingxiao would have probably turned around and left, forgetting about the 50 million star coins. Whoever bets on Qiufeng is a fool!

  Li Yuzi said: "Buddha's head, shake hands."

  The monk's head nodded obediently and his hand stretched out, just like a mechanical person.

  Xia Xingxiao had no choice but to slowly extend his hand and politely shake Buddha's hand.

  As a result, a surge of great strength suddenly came from Buddha's hand. It turned out that he had used his full strength, trying to crush Xia Xingxiao's palm. Xia Xingxiao didn't dare to slack off, and the various internal skills inside her body started to rotate simultaneously, neutralizing Buddha's power. Seeing that Xia Xingxiao didn't react at all, Buddha opened his hand.

  Li Yuzi gave a thumbs up and said in a low voice: "Awesome! From now on, whatever you say, Buddha will listen to you."

  "Really?" Xia Xingxiao asked doubtfully.

  Li Yuzhi smiled and said, "Don't believe me? Try it then?"

  Xia Xingxiao said casually: "Buddha's head, punch me..."

  Before the words had fallen, Buddha's head already came with a punch, and the fist suddenly enlarged in Xia Xingxiao's pupils. His brain has problems, but his fists and feet are perfect. Just this punching speed is far beyond Wu Qilong. This pervert!

  Xia Xingxiao jumped in fright and hastily retreated backwards to avoid the fist wind of Fotou, while shouting: "Fotou, punch Li Yujie!"

  As a result, Buddha's head did not have any reaction at all.

  Xia Xing Xiao returned with a gloomy face and said to Li Yuji dissatisfied, "You're not being fair. Why did he only hit me and not you? What kind of conspiracy do you have?"

  Li Yuzhi smiled and said: "I've known him for over three years, and I've pulled him back from the brink of death several times. How long have you known him?"

  Xia Xingxiao was taken aback, but had no choice but to give up. However, his thoughts suddenly turned to another aspect. Three years? Just now, Li Yuzhi said that they were new recruits of the same period. So... it took them three years to be promoted from private to first-class soldier?

  Li Yuzi seemed to guess what he was thinking, and smiled: "We have been promoted to first-class soldiers in three years, which is already considered fast. Many people may not be able to get a promotion in five years."

  Xia Xing was pondering in the dark, with his current cultivation speed, he had at most one more month before he could be promoted to Second-Class Soldier. And from Second-Class Soldier to First-Class Soldier, it would probably take only a few months. Wasn't this cultivation speed a bit too fast?

  Li Yuzhi was completely unaware of Xia Xingxiao's background, and he subconsciously said: "If you can be promoted to first-class soldier within three years, it will also be a remarkable achievement."

  Xia Xingxiao nodded slightly, thinking to himself that maybe in just three months' time, he would be promoted to first-class soldier. By then, he would scare all of them to death.

  But he was also very contradictory. If he performed too well, he might not have the opportunity to leave the army at all. With the Star Wars about to break out, it was hard to say whether this was a good or bad thing. The basic principle that "a tall tree is easily swayed by the wind" and "the bird that sticks its head out gets shot", he still understood.

  Li Yuzi was wrong, and thought Xia Xingxiao was worried about his own cultivation progress, so he comforted him: "Actually, focusing solely on cultivating in the dormitory, no matter how fast the speed is limited. We are all soldiers, and soldiers should be baptized in blood on the battlefield. Therefore, frequent battles have a great effect on our practice."

  "After really getting on the battlefield, the progress of cultivation is only one aspect. Bravery, experience, will and other aspects are also very important. To make the most correct judgment in the flash of lightning, this is not something that a flower in a greenhouse can do. An outstanding warrior must face danger at all times, cannot have any slack. Once he relaxes, his life is almost over. Even when sleeping, he must be ready to fight at all times."

  "But didn't they say that if we don't have the strength of a lower officer, once we really get on the battlefield, we'll only be slaughtered?"

  "Cut the crap! Those are just officials cheating us! They're worried about new recruits getting into trouble and being unable to explain themselves. That's only a concern in peacetime! If we were really at war, who'd care about rank? As long as you're human, you've got to go up! No matter what your level is, the goal is the same: take out the enemy and save yourself!"
