In an unforeseen twist of fate, Zhou Yuan finds himself in a parallel world, destined to join the ranks of the Human Federation's military academy as a budding cadet.

The laws of the federation and the daunting data on the insectoid adversaries leave Zhou Yuan reeling. Murderous acts in this realm demand bizarre tributes like peanuts, while confronting the insectoids - the lowest of which surpasses the might of a sturdy bull - presents a grotesque reality he must adapt to. However, the soul system notification chimes a tune of fate. "Alert: Congratulations, host has successfully bonded with the system. You have been rewarded with five third-level soul gift boxes, three second-level soul gift boxes, and one first-level soul gift box."

Chapter 37: Winner Takes All

"God!"

"The thick gift crab!"

"Guys, I think we should leave now!"

After seeing Zhou Yuan easily knock down five old soldiers, the people around who were still watching were all startled and a bit scared.

They had just spoken ill of Zhou Yuan, and if he found out...

Just at that moment.

They saw Zhou Yuan's gaze meet theirs, and after being hit by his icy stare, they felt shivers run down their spines.

Who was the one who said this guy was just a bragging actor?

You go up and try it yourself!

However, within a few seconds, most of the old soldiers who had spoken ill of Zhou Yuan had already fled, leaving only about ten who were far away, watching from a distance.

Of course, not everyone was afraid of Zhou Yuan.

The female soldiers in the training field were not afraid, and after Zhou Yuan started to take action, they even took the initiative to come over and talk about wanting to get to know him.

Apparently, Zhou Yuan's performance of easily defeating five old soldiers had already earned him the "priority mating rights" in the fortress.

"You cowards, stay away from me in the future."

"If I find out you're spewing dog shit out of your mouths again, I'll tear off your fingers one by one and shove them into your mouths."

"Now tell me, do you understand?" 

Zhou Yuan squatted on the ground, smoking a cigarette with an expressionless face.

There were five old soldiers in total, two of whom were knocked out, leaving three who were still conscious.

At first, the three old soldiers who were knocked down were still cursing, but after a few blows from Zhou Yuan's black hand, they all shut their mouths.

Now, when they heard Zhou Yuan's words, they all nodded, hoping that Zhou Yuan would leave quickly.

"I am satisfied with this exchange, are you all satisfied?"

"I think you all know that if you lay a hand on a comrade, you will be punished with a whipping. I don't want to be whipped, and if I go to the gallows..."

At this point, Zhou Yuan's mouth curved into a cold arc, and he placed his hand gently on the neck of one of the old soldiers, and whispered lowly.

"No, no, no!"

"Guys, you don't have to do this, we won't make a big deal out of it!" 

The old soldier was almost scared out of his wits and waved his hands in surrender.

He could guarantee that the scariest smile he had ever seen in his life was the one on Zhou Yuan's face right now.

"Zhou, we apologize to you!" The other two conscious old soldiers chimed in, afraid that Zhou Yuan would do something even crazier.

"Very well, that's more like it."

"Guys, remember what I said, bye~"

Zhou Yuan grinned as he withdrew his hand from the old soldier's neck and walked towards the gate of the training field without stopping.

Revenge is best served immediately!

But doing this all the time wasn't a good idea. As the captain of the team, he shouldn't have to do everything himself, especially not taking care of small fries.

Next time.

The next time he went out, he would bring his team members with him so that he wouldn't have to personally handle everything.

"Hey, Zhou, did I get it right?"

"Cool boy, are you interested in having dinner with us?"

Before he even reached the gate, Zhou Yuan was surrounded by a group of female soldiers.

Zhou Yuan used his fingers to extinguish his cigarette, and said coldly, "Girls, if you're here to play house with me, you can leave now."

"Believe me, anyone who stands in my way won't have a good ending. The softies from earlier are an example."

Hmm...not bad!

There were six girls, four white and two black.

The black ones were okay, but the white ones weren't bad, especially two of them who were quite pretty.

"Cool!"

After hearing Zhou Yuan's attitude, the six girls' eyes lit up. This was what a tough guy should say!

"Zhou, you might have misunderstood."

"We just want to be friends with you. If you're willing, we can talk about interesting topics or do interesting things."

"At least it's more interesting than teaching softies a lesson, don't you think?"

The girls blinked their eyes and even used their fingers to draw a line on Zhou Yuan's shoulder, obviously making a direct move.

"Not a bad idea."

"I have to go on defense duty at 19:00, so I can't talk to too many people. If we hurry, maybe we can resolve it before 19:00." Zhou Yuan crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly, looking at the two most beautiful girls.

"Three hours?" The six girls' eyes lit up when they heard Zhou Yuan's words.

The two girls that Zhou Yuan noticed immediately left their friends and approached him, grabbing his hand and leading him towards the training ground gate. 

The remaining four girls stood still, their faces not looking very good. They knew very well that Zhou Yuan wasn't interested in them at all. If they couldn't make it this time, they would have no chance in the future.

"Damn it!"

"Stupid newbie!"

This scene was witnessed by a few old soldiers who had just gotten up from the ground. They were furious, their teeth almost falling out. They had just been beaten by Zhou Yuan, and now they saw him being led away by beautiful girls, no less, and even two of them! It was so unfair!

"Guys, should we tell the boss about this?"

"If we complain, he'll receive at least three lashings. I think we should make him regret crossing us!"

Someone proposed reporting him, unable to swallow this humiliation.

"Damn it, are you an idiot?"

The burliest veteran denied it outright, cursing, "Do you think a few lashings can kill him? Have you forgotten about his threat?"

"This matter ends here. If anyone asks, we'll say we're well-acquainted with him and it was just training between friends."

"He can defeat forty-seven people, it's normal for us not to be able to beat him. Anyway...we weren't being beaten, just training!"

After hearing his words, the remaining four fell silent. Indeed, to avoid being targeted by Zhou Yuan again, they had no choice but to do so. Compared to being pursued by a monster, a small loss was nothing!

... ...

6:30 p.m.

Zhou Yuan put his hands behind his head and left the communication soldiers' dormitory with a refreshed look.

The two girls were communication soldiers, and they lived in a four-person dormitory. Their roommates happened to be on duty in the work hall, so the dormitory was empty.

The experience wasn't bad.

The only downside was that he was too powerful.

It took him two and a half hours to finish once, and for him, it was just a warm-up, not fully satisfying. The two girls were a bit overwhelmed by his vigor, but they still reluctantly let him finish once.

In the end, both girls looked at him with eyes that seemed to be pleading, asking him to visit often.

Zhou Yuan casually agreed, not taking it too seriously.

Flirting occasionally was fine, but it must not become a daily habit. It couldn't interfere with his main mission of killing insects.

After quickly having dinner at the cafeteria, Zhou Yuan hurried to the exclusive training ground of the Third Platoon.

"Boss!"

"The platoon leader and squad leader are here. Looks like they have something to announce."

As soon as Zhou Yuan arrived, James approached him and whispered in his ear while pointing towards the middle area of the training ground.

Following his gaze, Zhou Yuan saw the platoon leader Campbell and squad leader Turner.

"For the insect tide?"

Zhou Yuan quickly guessed the reason just from their presence. The platoon leader and squad leader wouldn't train with the soldiers together; they had higher-level indoor training facilities for themselves. If they were both here, it was most likely about the events on the 15th.
