Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 239 - 15 The Military That Never Plays by the Rules

(Salutes to the "Blood Red" helmsman!! After yesterday’s chapter was released... Blood Red actually rewarded me... Blood Red giant!! That’s the idol-level expert author I admired in high school! Back then, chasing Rising Dragon Road, Evil Dragon Road, and now the expert truly appeared before me, feeling like I’ve downed a case of Red Bull! My back doesn’t even ache anymore, hahaha)

Shi Sen, Gao Baiyun, Joe Bollen, Calvin... These talented students from various Administrative Districts, when they all walked into the cafeteria, acted not much better than Zhang Shaotang.

For them, who practiced Fighting, their physical exertion was great, so naturally, they ate a lot.

But...

Have you ever seen anyone hugging a huge wooden barrel to eat?

The rice inside was piled up so high it peaked.

The key was that this core student named Mu Fan didn’t look as burly as they were.

Eh?

When their gaze continued to scan the scene,

There was a barrel in front of Zhang Shaotang as well!

Shi Sen and Gao Baiyun seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

Zhang Shaotang’s face instantly turned green, dammit, stop looking at me, I haven’t even started eating yet!

But those two were just waiting, waiting for him, Zhang Shaotang, to take the first bite.

Scoundrels!

Zhang Shaotang didn’t want to bother with these two, who like himself, hailed from Capital Star of the first Administrative District.

With a green face, he walked up to the dining table,

grabbed the large wooden spoon, dug in, and then viciously took a bite.

...

It actually tasted pretty good.

Although accustomed to the delicacies from the mountains and seas, this level of physical depletion was truly a first for him.

The taste was truly nice, that unique aroma from the rice of Green Farm Star, along with no fewer than ten types of delicious ingredients.

Taste...

There was Crystal Sea Abalone, Golden Barracuda...

Glancing at Mu Fan across the way, the peaked part of that huge barrel of rice had already vanished, and now Mu Fan’s head was about to dive into the barrel.

Let’s do this!

Convincing himself that he was only second anyway, Zhang Shaotang for the first time set aside his wealthy noble’s dignity, turned his sorrow into strength, and began to focus solely on annihilating the rice in front of him.

The others, who were snickering in secret, when they saw an entire tray of fried rice coming their way, their faces didn’t look much better than Zhang Shaotang’s.

Sneaking another glance and seeing Zhang Shaotang had already tilted his head to devour that barrel of rice, they quickly exhaled and dutifully, with their oversized trays, moved to the side.

A moment later, Yin Shuai, who entered flamboyantly stroking his white hair, appeared.

"Eh? Where’s Mu Fan? Dude, did you see him?"

A slap landed on the back of the person who was only identifiable by his back as he was hunched over eating.

Then he saw a Yuan-filled face of Zhang Shaotang, that expression, that gaze, could kill a man, peering over Zhang Shaotang’s shoulder at the half-barrel of fried rice that had been eaten.

Pfft!

"Hahaha, sorry, mistook you for someone else, buddy. You are such a playful guy!" said Yin Shuai with a scoundrel’s grin, without a hint of embarrassment.

Zhang Shaotang grimly glared at this White Hair.

Now in his heart...

This White Hair had climbed to the number one spot on his hate list.

"Dude, have you seen Mu Fan, that core student?"

White Hair posed another question.

With a wooden expression, Zhang Shaotang pointed to the side, then got up.

He didn’t want to eat here anymore.

"Eh? You going to eat that half-barrel of rice or not? If not, give it to me, thanks, haha." Already on his feet, Zhang Shaotang suddenly heard a loud voice in his ear, which made the more than ten people who had come in look over again.

It turned out Mu Fan had already stood up, his face full of rice grains, asking Zhang Shaotang.

The eager light shining in his eyes was nearly blinding to those around.

Cough~

The cook, wearing an apron, struggled to contain his expression, choking on his voice.

Eat, eat, eat! May you eat yourself to death!

I’m outta here.

```

Damn a bunch of lunatics.

Ignoring Mu Fan, Zhang Shaotang’s face turned from green to black. He pushed Yin Shuai aside and furiously left the place.

He swore he would never again eat with these lowlifes in the canteen.

Zhang Shaotang walked to the door.

From behind came a soft complaint, "There’s so little left..."

His step faltered.

There was still more than half a bucket left, for God’s sake!

His fists creaked with tension.

At this moment, the young master from a wealthy family of Capital Star was inwardly roaring. Once tomorrow’s assessment results come out, I must be number one!! I swear, even if I throw away my food, I’m not leaving you any leftovers!

The people still queuing behind him looked perplexedly at the second person to come out.

Finished eating so quickly?

Lin Hao, who was watching from a distance, didn’t turn his head and said indifferently, "In our military, the amount you can eat is also a manifestation of strength."

Wu Yue didn’t respond. He couldn’t fathom the thoughts of Major Lin, who seemed to do everything with a strong sense of individualism.

It seemed that Young Master Zhang, whom he personally recommended, didn’t gain any points from Major Lin on his first day.

Holding his 2.5 kg of food, Yin Shuai ate contentedly because there was someone next to him who could really eat, which was truly appetite-stimulating.

"This tastes so great!"

With a loud clang, he also put down Zhang Shaotang’s small-sized wooden bucket.

Mu Fan wiped his mouth satisfactorily.

Yin Shuai, who had just finished eating, smiled and said, "This time even I have eaten so much. This is the amount I used to eat in a whole day!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan patted White Hair on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Someone at the Martial Arts Hall once told me that if you eat a lot, you’re definitely badass!"

"Eating a lot is an expression of strength!"

"I firmly believe this saying. You should eat more in the future, look how skinny you are."

Yin Shuai looked at Mu Fan in astonishment, with a boss-like demeanor. You’re kidding, right? I’m really not fat, but you’re not plump either!

And me being skinny... Brother, although I don’t have the physique level 18 like you, a human T-Rex, being looked down upon for the first time is still quite memorable.

White Hair looked up at the ceiling with desolation.

...

Some elite cadets who had been sneaking glances in that direction quickly looked away when that humanoid Fierce Beast glanced over, fearing they’d meet the same fate as Zhang Shaotang.

Being on the radar of such a foodie was not a good thing.

Mu Fan, wearing a face of regret, looked at their little trays, and then at the plates that followed, down to the big bowls, small bowls, small dishes...

Suddenly, Mu Fan realized he was actually very fortunate, so he decided not to bother these poor people anymore.

Only this little bit of food to eat!

I must be steadfast in taking first place in the future!

Standing in the middle of the canteen, Mu Fan made his first grand vow.

Looking at the youth standing in front of two wooden buckets, the only ones left in the entire canteen,

All the examinees remembered this beastly figure who emerged as their lead... Mu Fan!

The true dominator of the canteen!

This time, the military gave ample mealtime. It wasn’t until half an hour pass that the sound of assembly echoed.

"All cadets please gather at the afternoon assembly point within 60 seconds. A delay of 1 second will result in the deduction of 1 evaluation point."

Everyone once again swarmed towards the central training field of the base.

There, Lin Hao and Wu Yue were already standing and waiting for everyone.

"Very good, your performance today, especially that of some exceptional cadets, has exceeded my expectations."

As this statement ended, everyone instinctively glanced at Mu Fan, who was quietly rubbing his stomach on the side.

"As for the scoring, our rule is ten tests, with each test worth a maximum of 100 points. I will grade everyone after each training and the scores will be posted on the bulletin board of our base for you all to check."

"Moreover, regarding the physical fitness test, this is just the beginning. Seeing your performance, I’ve decided... from now on, every morning before breakfast, a 10-kilometer weighted 50KG cross-country run."

Damn it all to hell!

All cadets glared angrily at the major, who now seemed like a demon in their eyes.

Of course, except for Mu Fan...

However, it didn’t take long for Mu Fan also to cast a resentful look.

"The number one cadet from today, from now on, you will double the distance. Every morning, a special training of 20 kilometers weighted cross-country run."
