Chapter 705: Chapter 699: Taking You to Play a Game – Part 2
On the internet, whether overseas or domestic, the Eve Morrison phone was hailed as a new generation epochal mobile phone. According to the Virtual World Corporation, this is the third-generation smartphone, while all the phones from Company A and other companies are merely second-generation smartphones.
After the press conference, Finn Lewis left the running of the corporation to others, his current location was a military camp, that’s right, he was inside a military camp. And accompanying Finn Lewis was Jack Lewis.
“Is this thing really that amazing?” asked Jack Lewis, hesitatingly looking at the items in front of him.
“Definitely. You should know where I got this from. This device is produced by the Galactic Federation, and let me tell you, I bought lots of them in one go,” Lewis pointed at the scrambling egg-like nutrient cabins in front of him and replied.
“OK, then can you tell me what this does?” he asked again, still sceptical. According to Finn Lewis, this object can help an ordinary, trained soldier to master their combat skills and knowledge acquired in the camp in the shortest amount of time, and become elite soldiers.
Apart from the North Federation and some war-torn countries, soldiers in other countries, especially those during peace time, find it difficult to become truly skilled soldiers. Real battlefields are drastically different from training grounds. Although soldiers in these peaceful countries have not lacked training, without the battlefield experience, no one knows whether they are qualified soldiers.
Special forces soldiers are exceptional because they are always executing special missions. Despite the intense training, their performance is largely due to their extensive experience with special assignments. Almost all of them have seen bloodshed, taken lives, and passed the battlefield test.
In wartime, some seasoned soldiers who survived many battles may not necessarily be inferior to special forces soldiers, and might even surpass them.
Now Finn Lewis claimed to solve this issue and even intentionally had an entire battalion transferred. To be safe, Jack Lewis brought in a special forces battalion consisting of 116 soldiers.
“You’ll see shortly.” Finn Lewis smirked and said. He motioned with his hand, saying, “Let them all come in.”
“Alright.” Seeing Finn Lewis keeping him in suspense, Jack Lewis was left speechless. But he had gotten used to Finn Lewis’ personality and motioned for the people outside to come in. The door quickly opened and more than a hundred people marched into the hall in four columns.
They all came in and were immediately astounded by the sight of the dense array of egg-like nutrient cabins.
“Reporting to the chief! The soldiers of the Wolf Fang Special Forces Battalion have assembled and are ready for duty!” shouted the captain leading the squad.
“At ease.” Jack Lewis returned a salute and said loudly.
“Yes!” The captain quickly turned around to put the team at ease before rejoining the formation.
“Comrades, at ease.” Jack Lewis said.
Around him, a unison voice of agreement sounded, returning everyone to the standing position.
“Please relax comrades, we are soldiers but I believe we all recognize who is in front of us,” Jack Lewis said.
All the soldiers were looking at Finn Lewis. Although none of them answered, he could tell from their gaze that they recognized him. Despite not being a celebrity, Finn Lewis had a sufficiently high profile.
“He just made a bet with me.” Jack Lewis pointed at Finn Lewis and started laughing. He paused for a moment before continuing: “Of course, it’s not about who can make the most money.”
“Amid laughter from the soldiers, Jack Lewis waved his hand and said, “Everyone, relax. No need to be so formal. Since you are laughing, you must know that even if a hundred of me were bundled together, we would not stand a chance against him in a money-making competition. Oh, perhaps even a hundredfold isn’t enough. However, our bet isn’t about that but something else. He bet me that he could lead this new battalion of soldiers and defeat a group of seasoned fighters that I lead after a month of training.”
This immediately caused a stir among the soldiers. Although they were selected from the special forces, they were not strictly considered as new recruits since they have already served for at least a year, and none have served less than that. They were all non-commissioned officers.
This meant they had served in the army for over two years and stood out among their peers, without which they wouldn’t have made it to the special forces. However, they all knew in their hearts that the gap between them and the veteran soldiers of the special forces was too great.
Especially in face-to-face combat, as even with a three to one ratio in their favor, they probably would not be able to defeat the veterans. Now, Finn Lewis insanely claimed that with just a month’s time, he could train them to defeat those soldiers. This was nonsense, just like Jack Lewis said earlier, a hundredfold of Jack Lewis could not beat Finn Lewis in money-making.
Could a hundredfold of Finn Lewis beat Jack Lewis in his soldier training? Jack Lewis was a general after all, and the opponents were their drill instructors. This was a lost game from the beginning, a complete nonsense.
“I’m guessing you guys don’t believe, it doesn’t matter. I just want to ask one thing.” Finn Lewis then took over the conversation, still grinning.
“Are you guys men?” Finn Lewis asked loudly.
All the soldiers were taken aback, then they loudly said: “Yes!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Excellent, remember your words. You’re men, the real deal. They were your own words, so don’t pee your pants in fear later. If General Lewis has no objections, our bet is officially on.” Finn Lewis turned his head back to Jack Lewis and asked.
“I’m fine with it, everyone, attention!” Jack Lewis said loudly.
Everyone then stood at attention again in uniform voice.
“For the next month, you will be undergoing closed-door training here. And Finn Lewis will be your highest authority, understood?” Jack Lewis asked loudly.
“Understood!”
“Good, then I’ll leave first. We’ll see each other in a month’s time,” Jack Lewis promptly said.
After Jack Lewis left, Finn Lewis looked at the soldiers and said with a strange expression, “Now form your lines. See these egg-like nutrient cabins below? Our training will be conducted in them. No need for unnecessary questions, you’ll understand later. Now line up, one person to one cabin.”
