To be honest, Chen Ran had a deep impression of Lu Xiaotian.
The guy with the worst talent in the special forces would fall to the ground every time he ran and needed someone to support him. Behind him, Xiao Yunjie and Yan Poyue entered the combat class, while this guy could only be assigned to in the cookhouse.
However, although Lu Xiaotian's strength was not that great, he was still quite loyal. Later on, he will be killed in an explosion to save Yan Poyue…
Chen Ran felt sorry for Lu Xiaotian. He looked around and frowned. "Brother, your place is too messy. You didn't even eat the eggs you bought. Are you planning to let them rot for the enemy?"
"Well …"
Lu Xiaotian laughed at Chen Ran's words. He glanced at the egg that was almost squashed by his butt and said nonchalantly, "It's fine. This thing isn't expensive. It's only five yuan per bag. I…"
Chen Ran's face darkened as he warned, "Food is the priority of the people. We can't waste food at will, even if it's cheap. Didn't you say that you wanted to reduce the burden on your family when you sold the saffron wine? Have you forgotten now?
"Do you know how many people can't afford eggs? What's not expensive for you is something some people won't be able to eat for the rest of their lives."
Upon hearing these words, Lu Xiaotian felt a little embarrassed. He rubbed his head and said, "Yes, I understand. I'll definitely eat all these eggs."
With that, Lu Xiaotian quickly packed up the scattered eggs.
The next moment, he looked at the clean Chen Ran and glanced at his messy surroundings. Then, he consciously opened the backpack on his back and put back all the items he had just rummaged out.
After a while, Lu Xiaotian tidied up and turned to look at Chen Ran. He joked, "Brother Chen, with your figure and looks, you're more than enough to be a model or a celebrity. Isn't it a waste to join the army?"
He had watched many television dramas. Those male pigs were not as handsome as Chen Ran at all!
"He's 1.8 meters tall and doesn't have any excess fat on him. He's also fair and clean. His facial features are good. He's enough to instantly defeat half of the male celebrities in the entertainment industry."
Chen Ran's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
After all, his figure was not bad to begin with. Coupled with the enhancement of the system, he was even more masculine.
It was normal for Lu Xiaotian to say that.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from behind.
"What model? Him? Don't joke. I have more handsome ones here."
The tone of the person who said this was filled with disdain and a hint of gunpowder.
Hearing this familiar voice, Chen Ran did not even need to turn his head to know that this guy was Xiao Yunjie.
Xiao Yunjie could be considered a pig's leg. Coupled with the previous conflict, Chen Ran could not forget him.
"So this guy only spoke like this because he recognized me and Lu Xiaotian."
What happened before was just a small interlude. Everyone joined the army together. In the future, when they were in the army, they would train together every day. They would meet often.
In other words, in the army, no matter what personal grudges they had against each other, they all had the same name—comrades.
Comrades had to trust their backs to each other, especially on the battlefield.
Most of the time, they needed the cover and cooperation of their comrades to kill the enemy and escape unscathed.
This was why they often mentioned the importance of comrades.
Also, in the army, whoever had the bigger fist had the final say.
Previously, when he fought with Xiao Yunjie, Chen Ran considered it a small test. If he continued to sign in for new talent skills and strengthen his body, it would be too easy to kill Xiao Yunjie in an instant.
Chen Ran did not lower himself to Xiao Yunjie's level.
Lu Xiaotian looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned.
"It's him? The guy who stole my medicinal wine?"
Lu Xiaotian felt a little aggrieved when he recalled what had happened back then. However, when he saw Xiao Yunjie's strong figure and then looked at his thin body, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
Chen Ran knew what Lu Xiaotian was thinking. He patted Lu Xiaotian's shoulder and said in a low voice, "It's okay. Whoever wants to be a model can be a model. We're here as soldiers."
Only then did Lu Xiaotian's expression improve a little. He nodded and said, "Yes."
Due to the noise in the carriage, Chen Ran deliberately lowered his voice, so Xiao Yunjie did not hear him.
However, Xiao Yunjie was unconvinced because he had suffered under Chen Ran's hands. He continued, "Not talking? Silence is tacit agreement. Poyue, don't you think so?"
Chen Ran did not want to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of trouble either. His face darkened.
Lu Xiaotian saw that something was wrong and quickly pulled him back. "Brother Chen, we're new here. Let's not cause trouble first."
On the other side, Yan Poyue also pushed Xiao Yunjie with his arm and said, "Stop talking. Business is more important."
Xiao Yunjie recalled the bold words he had said to Yan Poyue before joining the army.
"I want to become the strongest special forces soldier and enter the legendary top commando team."
When Xiao Yunjie saw that there was no more movement from Chen Ran's side, he stopped talking.
It was not easy for him to finally have some peace and quiet. Chen Ran shook his head and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh right, I still have one enhancement that I haven't used. My current physical attribute is 3.1. If I continue to enhance it, it will increase by at least 0.1. The requirements for physical fitness in military training are high, so I have to make the best use of my time to enhance it."
Chen Ran muttered to himself and was about to strengthen his body.
Suddenly, a voice came from the front.
"We're here. Get out of the bus."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bus slowly stopped. The instructor opened the bus door and shouted loudly.
"Stop dilly-dallying and get out of the bus."
Upon hearing this, the recruits present immediately took their luggage and prepared to get out of the bus to gather.
At this moment, Lu Xiaotian pushed the trash in front of him away and was about to stand up, but his hand was instantly grabbed by Chen Ran.
Chen Ran said, "If you don't want to be criticized, clean up the trash first."
Lu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment. He grinned and said, "This… Brother Chen, there's no need. Someone will clean that up, right?"
Chen Ran said with a serious expression, "No, we have to clean up before we can get out of the bus."
When Lu Xiaotian saw how resolute Chen Ran was, he said helplessly, "Alright, I'll clean it up. Brother, do you have mysophobia? You're really strange."
As he spoke, Lu Xiaotian wanted to pull his hand back, but he realized that he could not break free no matter how hard he tried. He smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, Brother Ran, I'm convinced. Can you let go of my hand? If you continue to hold onto me, I'm afraid others will misunderstand what we did…"
