The Lucky Star Control Corporation in the 70s (54)
The sandbag man weighed 120 kilograms. Because this kind of sandbag man was a dummy, it was much harder to carry than a real person of the same weight.
Not only did Chu Xiang not slow down, but her speed surged up all of a sudden, which stunned the two soldiers who arranged the sandbag man. The two of them carried it earlier, and they were exhausted afterwards. Yet, Chu Xiang actually ran as if she was carrying cotton instead of a sandbag man?!
What was even more surprising was that Chu Xiang could have passed the slings over the deep pits alone. She was meant to leave the sandbag man down and take the slings before she could pass the level. However, Chu Xiang didn’t mean to put it down at all. She tied the sandbag man’s sleeves to her body, then carried it up the slings, and then slid out expeditiously!
She swiftly glided past the slings. With the added weight of the sandbag man on Chu Xiang’s back, her speed increased anew, with no signs of stopping till she reached the end. The end of this pass was also one of the assessment points. Many soldiers could not help worrying. If she fell down, she would be seriously hurt.
To their surprise, Chu Xiang almost kept her back straight to the end amidst their worries. Her feet hooked a rope, braked hard, stopped sliding perfectly and safely landed.
She didn’t rest. She ran to the next level with the sandbag man on her back. Just like the two people who had doubts earlier, everyone suspected that she was carrying cotton from the way she was carrying the sandbag. She was super strong
A person carrying a 120-kg sandbag naturally made the level more difficult, but Chu Xiang was completely unaffected. She passed five levels one after the other and quickly surmounted numerous difficulties without a hitch. She amazingly never got stuck in one.
The audience was so silent that even their breathing could be heard. Everyone stared at Chu Xiang in disbelief. She was getting farther and farther away from them, and none of them could follow her closely because she was too fast. They haven’t even come round to it. Their brains were still in a constant state of awe, unable to digest this fact at all.
Chu Xiang passed the level without any stagnation. Finally, she reached the last level, facing the test against a vicious dog and two snakes.
Chu Xiang was exuding her spiritual power, so which animal would attack her? On the contrary, they wished they could be nourished by her side for a while longer.
Thus, a magical scene manifested. Chu Xiang put down the sandbag and sat next to the vicious dog to wipe her sweat. The soldier who raised the “evil dog” immediately exclaimed, “Chu Xiang, be careful!”
However, the vicious dog attack that everyone had foreseen did not happen. The vicious dog lay beside Chu Xiang obediently, and obediently laid its head on her lap. The vicious dog’s ears gently drooped, and its tail began wagging, as if it was coquettishly waiting for its master to smooth its fur.
Next, the two snakes slowly crawled over. Chu Xiang remained seated there, and the vicious dog did not warn her. Seeing that the two snakes were about to crawl behind her, someone couldn’t help shouting, “Chu Xiang, duck! Snakes!!”
Chu Xiang looked behind her but didn’t move, making everyone sweat for her. Although the snakes were not venomous, their bites were painful enough. Everyone couldn’t understand why Chu Xiang didn’t hide. Even the Commander frowned and looked at Yin Xu. “What are you doing? Why aren’t you saving her?”
Yin Xu hummed and said, “If you encounter a venomous snake, just wait for her to save you.”
Just as his words fell, the people saw the two snakes honestly lying either side of Chu Xiang, peacefully coexisting with the vicious dog. It was as if they were all Chu Xiang’s pets.
Chu Xiang stretched out her hand, took off the red flag and waved it towards them. Then, she leisurely fixed her hair and clothes. The atmosphere instantly changed from tense and exciting to soothing and comfortable.
However, it has only been a few minutes, right??? Has Chu Xiang passed all obstacles???
The Commander found out that she had indeed passed all obstacles. He looked at Yin Xu in disbelief and exclaimed, “It’s over? She broke your record!”
Yin Xu shrugged. “I told you earlier that she is very strong. Commander, there will always be people more talented than you. Never underestimate others. If Chu Xiang was the enemy, everyone here would have died miserably today.”
This was a piece of advice, but also a bit of a dissatisfied resistance. The Commander not only did not get angry, but also laughed heartily. “Xiao Chu is amazing. You have married a good wife! You deserve to be henpecked. It turns out that you can’t beat her, hahaha. Once Xiao Chu joins us, we’ll definitely be like winged tigers!”
The others also reacted. They immediately ran forward and surrounded Chu Xiang with excitement.
“Sister-in-law! You are awesome. How did you do it? You are at the level of the best soldier!”
“Sister Xiang, you were crawling forward too fast just now. Can you teach me how? Your skills are faster than what we have learned in our drills.”
“Sister Xiang, why don’t they bite you? Why are they so obedient? It looks like you raised them. It’s amazing.”
Chu Xiang smiled and patted the vicious dog’s head. She answered unhurriedly, “They, ah, they are very docile in front of me. Maybe my animal affinity is better. It has always been like this, talent.” She paused, looked at them, and then continued, “As for how I managed to pass the obstacles so quickly… It’s also a talent. You have to know that some people are born stronger than others, and they can win opportunities with their strength wherever they are. Others can’t catch up even if they lick somebody’s boots.”
The soldiers who felt that Chu Xiang was gentle before were dumbfounded. How could she scorn people at the drop of a hat? Was she mocking them with her talent? What did they say to her a few minutes ago? It’s over, their faces hurt!
“S-Sister Xiang… um, we were blind and failed to recognize a great person. Can you teach us?”
