Chapter 156 Entering Luoyang City
Chapter 156 Entering Luoyang City
The slightly narrow carriage was now plunged into silence.
The scenery outside the window is like a flowing painting, constantly receding. The passing fields, woods and occasional small villages seem to be telling the story of the journey.
And everyone in the carriage was sitting upright as if they were under a spell, without any slackness.
Gao Rui stood straight in the middle of the aisle. He was as tall as a pine tree, with sharp and cold eyes. He looked at everyone in the carriage quietly, as if he wanted to take in everyone's every move.
The journey from Yixue City to Luoyang City is not short, and it takes a full four hours to drive.
In the first two hours, as time slowly passed, many people gradually began to feel uncomfortable.
After all, if you keep sitting in such a correct posture all the time, all parts of your body will inevitably feel tired.
Some people couldn't help but twist their necks slightly to try to relieve the gradually accumulating soreness; others quietly moved their buttocks to change the position of their already numb legs.
But how could these subtle movements escape Gao Rui's eagle-like eyes?
Gao Rui's face darkened, and he walked with steady and powerful steps directly from the center of the aisle to the side of the twisting young man.
He held the whip, which symbolized his majesty, tightly in his hand and whipped the iron carriage beside him hard.
The crisp sound of "snapping" was particularly harsh in the silent carriage. Although the whip did not actually hit anyone, the ferocity and momentum gave everyone a great deterrent effect.
In an instant, the entire carriage seemed to be shrouded in a more solemn atmosphere, and no one dared to move easily because of physical discomfort.
Nan Yu seemed exceptionally calm. He placed his hands neatly on his knees, sat very straight, and looked straight ahead.
For him, his physical fitness was extremely strong at the moment, as if he had endless energy, and he didn't feel any fatigue at all.
Except for the symbolic demonstration just now, Gao Rui has been like a loyal guard, always maintaining a standard military posture.
He stood there motionless for the entire two and a half hour drive, demonstrating his discipline and majesty.
Another half hour passed, and time seemed to become even more unbearable.
Some ordinary low-level players have all started to feel back pain at this time. The pain feels like countless small insects crawling on their bodies, making them feel restless.
Some people even feel that their buttocks are so painful from the hard seats, as if every minute is a torture.
Just when everyone was about to lose their patience, Gao Rui's serious voice finally broke the unbearable silence:
"Sit still and move."
This voice was like a pardon. After hearing it, everyone felt relieved and began to adjust their seats.
Some people stretched their stiff limbs and sighed comfortably; others twisted their waists constantly, trying to get some relief from their sore backs.
While everyone was busy, Nanyu just looked out the window bored.
At this moment, the train everyone was riding was about to arrive at Luoyang City.
Looking out the car window from afar, a snowy scene appeared in front of us. The towering mountains were already covered with thick snow, like giants wearing white hats, quietly guarding this land.
It seemed as if everyone had suddenly entered a world of white covered in silver from a world full of vitality and lush greenery.
The border of Luoyang City and even the entire Luoyang City were almost completely covered with snow. The white snow reflected dazzling light under the sunlight. Even the usually warm and gentle sunlight was particularly dazzling at this moment.
"Alright, it's 10: AM Kyoto time. You've arrived at Luoyang City, the northernmost border of Dragon Country. It should take about half an hour to reach the town. Welcome to the 'City of Storms.'"
Gao Rui's loud voice rang out again in the carriage.
After hearing Gao Rui's words, everyone in the car seemed to have their curiosity ignited, and they all looked out the window in unison.
At this moment, the train has slowly entered the border of Luoyang City. Just after entering the border, layers of frost began to appear on the glass of the train. The frost was like pieces of delicate feathers, gently clinging to the glass.
As the train moved closer to the city, the frost became more and more numerous and thicker. In the end, the entire glass seemed to be covered with a thick layer of ice, as if the window was covered with a crystal clear ice coat.
"Damn, are you going to freeze me to death? Training in such a cold place with a lack of oxygen at altitude is pure torture."
A young player couldn't help but complain loudly, rubbing his hands as he spoke.
"I finally saw snow. We southerners haven't seen much snow since we were young."
Another player said excitedly, his eyes fixed on the snow scene outside the window, his eyes full of novelty and joy.
"Tsk, I've been afraid of the cold since I was a kid. The last time I participated in a dungeon, my kneecaps got hurt. Forcing me to come to such a cold place, isn't this pure torture?"
Another player also started complaining, shrinking his neck and looking helpless and reluctant.
Everyone in the carriage started talking again, various voices intertwined together, some complaining, some excited, some worried, and it was very lively for a while.
"Shut up! You guys need some discipline, did I tell you to move around in place? Did I tell you to move around with your mouths?"
Gao Rui roared angrily, and the sound resounded in the carriage like thunder, instantly returning the bustling carriage to silence.
"Tsk, instructor, you asked us to sit down and move around, but you didn't say we can't move our mouths."
Jiang Shaoxing didn't care about Gao Rui's roar at all. He looked up at Gao Rui and said with a playful and disdainful look in his eyes.
As soon as he said this, the whole carriage was filled with sighs. Everyone looked at Jiang Shaoxing in surprise, thinking that this kid was really brave enough to talk back to the instructor like that.
Most of the people in the carriage were afraid of Gao Rui's whip, but Jiang Shaoxing was not afraid. How could a person who ranked fifth on the newcomer list be afraid?
This kind of whip with no deterrent effect is only useful for scaring those useless people who have no ability.
"What's your name? A prick, right?"
Jiang Shaoxing asked with sharp eyes and slightly raised eyebrows. There was a scrutiny in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Jiang Shaoxing.
"Remember this, my name is Jiang Shaoxing."
Jiang Shaoxing was still nonchalant, with his arms folded across his chest. There was no fear in his eyes, and even a hint of provocation and amusement. He looked as if he was deliberately trying to provoke Gao Rui.
"Jiang Shaoxing?" Gao Rui thought for a moment and immediately remembered the person who was ranked fifth on the newcomer list.
"Jiang Shaoxing, I will remember you."
Gao Rui gave Jiang Shaoxing a meaningful look, then he said with a serious expression:
"Okay, now everyone, take your seats. You'll be in town in fifteen minutes."
No one spoke in the carriage for the next few minutes. Jiang Shaoxing just sat upright, but his face still had that look of disdain. He just sat there quietly, as if waiting for something.
A few minutes later, the carriage door behind Gao Rui was opened again. The tall instructor who was holding the yellow plastic bag looked a little solemn at this moment. He quickly walked up to Gao Rui, handed Gao Rui a black Nokia-like mobile phone, and then turned and left.
He didn't say a word during the whole process, but his solemn expression made people wonder what secrets were hidden in the phone.
When Gao Rui saw the phone, his expression became somewhat unfathomable. He frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt and solemnity flashed in his eyes.
He first glanced at everyone before pressing the ridge on his black phone. A message was written on the small screen: "The training camp test has officially begun."
After reading this, Gao Rui turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket. When he looked up at everyone, a smirk flashed in his eyes.
