Chapter 447: Chapter 422 I have to practice just like him!_4

Jiang Zhe spoke up, "Relaxing too much can actually sap your strength."

"How could that be?" Xiaobao didn’t understand.

"In the past two days, the situation was dire, and there wasn’t much to eat. We kept going on adrenaline, no problem. But last night we had an abundance of supplies and rested very comfortably. Once we let down our guard, it became hard to muster that energy again."

Xiaobao somewhat got it, "So, should I distribute all this food to others to motivate them to keep on moving?"

"Don’t do that." Fatty reached out, grabbing at the air as if it were the food Xiaobao was about to throw away.

Jiang Zhe glanced at Fatty’s figure; trying to muster that breath and take him along was indeed challenging.

Some of the onlooking students were schadenfreude, "That’s what you get for hogging the food!"

"Serves you right now!"

Some waited for Xiaobao to throw food, "Exactly, haven’t you heard that moderate hunger and danger increase one’s physical strength and fighting power?"

"Eating too much, all the blood in your brain goes to your stomach to digest the food, when is there any time left to think about anything else?"

"It would have been better to share with everyone from the beginning than to have this trouble now."

Xiaobao was angry, "I’d rather throw it all to the ants than give it to you!"

Those students, finding themselves out of luck, turned and left.

Xiaobao worriedly said, "I’m never treating you to good food again! You can just starve!"

Fatty panted, "Right, I’m sorry."

Jiang Zhe looked at Beifeng, who nodded gently at her.

Jiang Zhe walked over to Fatty with a cold face.

Xiaobao quickly intervened, "Idol, there’s no need, no need to hit him! Just leave him here to fend for himself, right? Wouldn’t the school take care of him?"

Jiang Zhe squatted down, "I just want to talk to him for a bit."

Xiaobao let go at once.

Jiang Zhe leaned in close to Fatty and spoke softly.

Beifeng’s position was clever, just blocking a certain spot. Everyone could tell that Jiang Zhe was chatting with Fatty, and they could hear roughly what they were saying, but they didn’t know if Jiang Zhe was doing anything else.

After a moment, Fatty, as if filled with energy, said, "Let’s go!"

His backpack was the largest and the heaviest. Just now he was acting like he couldn’t go on, but now he was striding ahead, leading the way.

Xiaobao was surprised, "Idol, what did you say to him?"

"Told him to keep it up," Jiang Zhe followed.

Xiaobao’s eyes widened, was encouragement really that powerful?

Beifeng couldn’t help but smile a little.

The students walking at the front of the group were comforting themselves with "proper hunger and tension can preserve strength."

Then they heard heavy footsteps from behind.

Turning back, they saw Fatty with his big backpack, already catching up.

He was tall with long strides. With a few thuds, he passed them by and headed forward, walking as swift as the wind.

Everyone: "..."

Then came Jiang Zhe and Beifeng, both light on their feet.

Jiang Zhe was empty-handed, not carrying any heavy object, strolling leisurely and freely. Beifeng, by her side, was holding a coconut, seemingly ready to serve Jiang Zhe at any moment.

Xiaobao followed closely behind, his packs large, his expression proud.

Seeing everyone watching him, Xiaobao kindly said to them, "Keep it up!"

As the four of them all passed by and left, the students who were dizzy with hunger could no longer endure and sat down right there.

The audience was also very confused, "Does encouragement really work this well?"

"I think what matters isn’t just the encouragement, but who gives it!"

"Agree, if Jiang Zhe personally told me to keep going, I could also continue slaving away on exams for another twenty-four hours!"

"I didn’t expect this Fatty to actually have the audacity to covet Jiang Zhe."

The executive director sat in front of the screen, captured a screenshot of Jiang Zhe saying words of encouragement, saved it as a gif, and then expertly set it as the wallpaper on his phone.

He laughed over his tea, "With that encouragement, I could work myself to death."

Staff member: "..."

...

Beicheng Continent.

In a low-profile mansion, an elderly lady with graying hair was playing with a piece of jade in her hand.

The jade had become extremely smooth and translucent through her handling.

"Madam, would you like to watch some TV?" asked the similarly gray-haired female butler.

"There’s nothing worth watching, has there been any news?"

The butler said softly, "I saw a program where there’s a girl who looks a lot like the young miss. Coincidentally, her last name is Jiang too."

"Is that so? Turn it on quickly," the old lady immediately replied.

The live broadcast opened, and it just so happened to be at the moment when Fatty had no energy left to walk.

The old lady said, "That’s how people are, maintaining tension in order to keep going. If you relax halfway, of course, you’ll end up with a sore back and be unable to move. Young children, they’re still too inexperienced."

Right after that, she heard Jiang Zhe saying something similar.

Seeing Jiang Zhe’s face, the old woman couldn’t help standing up, "Who is she?"

As she looked at Jiang Zhe’s familiar features, tears slowly began to well up in the old lady’s eyes.

Could that child really still be around?

Has she grown up so much?

The butler, who obviously had done her research, said, "She is called Jiang Zhe, from Dragon Emperor Country. She originally came here to study medicine. But this time, the school arranged for the international students to join the military training with the students from Beicheng Continent."

The old lady was immersed in her emotions for a while before she came back to her senses and resumed her usual composure.

"Isn’t this clearly making things difficult for the kids from other places? The youngsters from Beicheng Continent have naturally better physical fitness, and they have to serve in the military when they grow up, how can they compare?" the old lady said somewhat angrily.

"But Jiang Zhe is always leading the pack," the butler immediately replayed the previous footage.

The old lady watched with great interest, then suddenly furrowed her brow and said, "Whose idea was it to live broadcast the military training this time?"

"I heard it was Dr. Zhuo Jinman’s idea."

"Get me her phone number."

Very soon, the call to Dr. Zhuo Jinman was connected.

Dr. Zhuo Jinman smiled slightly upon learning that it was a call from the Jiang Family, as expected, it still caught the Jiang Family’s attention.

Jiang Zhe’s appearance and abilities could indeed not be hidden.

She picked up the call.

Madam Jiang spoke in a very kind tone, "Dr. Zhuo, I hear that all the students have to go through military training, right?"

"Madam Jiang, you have the time to call me, just to inquire about this issue?"

"Students are the future of the country and the world; caring for them is everyone’s responsibility."

Dr. Zhuo Jinman laughed, "Yes, since they are the future, they must have good physical fitness to bear the burdens of the future. Especially the students from other places, it’s not good if they’re too weak. We are doing this for their own good."
