If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

The instructor looked at the city wall and fell into memories. He had also participated in the construction of the city wall, but he did so to make a living.

"Lord Zhou is so rich!"

"Hmph, you're all talk and no action. You're rich, but would you spend money to repair the city walls for the common people?"

"That's not what I meant. I was just making a remark."

"Alright, you two stop arguing. We're all comrades from now on, so don't hurt our relationship."

Watching the new recruits bickering, the instructor was reminded of his own time when he first joined the army.

They walked a little further on, and the recruits were once again stunned.

The streets are clean and orderly, and the bustling atmosphere on both sides is no less than that of the most prosperous city in Dalong, but this is just a town.

There were also quite a few foreigners; it was just as bustling as the capital.

"Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat."

When the instructor mentioned this, everyone remembered that they had indeed eaten lunch on the way here, and hadn't eaten anything since. Their stomachs were growling loudly.

There are so many delicious foods in Niujia Town, but the instructors knew that these new recruits were all children from ordinary families, so they took them to a specialty restaurant in Niujia Town, a seafood buffet.

"Instructor, this meal must be expensive, right?"

The restaurant was decorated in a magnificent style, and in the eyes of these new recruits, it was no different from a palace. They wondered if they would ever be able to eat at such a restaurant in their lifetime.

"Don't worry, the meal isn't expensive."

The instructors knew what the new recruits were worried about, so they laughed and reassured them.

"You don't understand, do you? We're new here, so treating the instructor to a good meal is a matter of courtesy."

Some self-righteous individuals started offering explanations, making it seem as if they were really trying to bribe someone. However, the sharp-eared instructor heard them clearly and slapped one of them on the head.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you straight back to your hometown."

Regardless of the situation in other armies, at least under Zhou Wu's command, it would be impossible for him to engage in such extortion, bribery, or bullying of his subordinates. If such behavior were discovered or reported, he would be severely punished.

The treatment of Zhou Wu's army was unparalleled, and no one was willing to leave, so these bad habits could not exist in Zhou Wu's army.

"Don't worry, this is a buffet, it's charged per person, eat as much as you want."

"really?"

"Look for yourselves, isn't it written here?"

Sure enough, there was a sign at the entrance listing the prices and the dishes available.

"that is true."

"Is it really all-you-can-eat, charged per person?"

"We've eaten too much, the shopkeeper won't try to renege on the debt, will he?"

"Haha. Look at you, so unsophisticated. Where is this? This is Niujia Town. Who would dare to do such a swindling and cheating thing under Lord Zhou's leadership? They would have a death wish."

The instructor said no more and led the way inside. Once inside, the scene shattered the new recruits' worldview once again.

In the center of the spacious hall, a table was laden with all sorts of delicious food; seafood that sells for exorbitant prices elsewhere was available for free here.

"Why aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's eat!"

At the instructor's command, they pounced on it like vicious dogs fighting over excrement.

The buffet restaurant was instantly turned into a mess.

"These are prawns? Even I, an old landlord, wouldn't dare to eat them so casually."

"I've never seen any of these foods before."

Liu Erwa also filled a plate to the brim and ate with great relish, but suddenly, he thought of his elderly mother at home.

I've worked hard my whole life, and now you're saying I've eaten these things? I've never even seen them before.

"Instructor, are there any self-service restaurants like this in the South China Sea?"

The instructor noticed the kid next to him; the questions the kid asked were different from the others.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I must work hard to get a house, then bring my mother over and have her come to eat here."

The instructor watched Liu Erwa quietly. Although Dalong had basically gotten rid of hunger, life for ordinary people was still very hard. There were too many families like Liu Erwa's. The instructor could only silently wish him well.

After everyone had eaten their fill, it was almost dark, and without exception, they all had to lean against the wall to get out.

"I'm too full."

"Don't talk, I'm going to throw up."

The instructor looked at the new recruits and shook his head with a mocking expression.

"It's getting dark, let's go back. If you don't get on the ship tomorrow, I'll take you to see other places."

"Great."

. . . . . .

That night, everyone lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Are you all asleep?

a voice sounded.

"No, you're not asleep either?"

Then came the second sound.

"Nobody's asleep yet."

The third.

"I'm too full, I can't sleep, I feel so uncomfortable."

The next day, the instructors woke everyone up on time. Although they were not yet regular soldiers, they were starting to get used to the habits of soldiers.

Because I ate too much yesterday, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time last night, and now I have dark circles under my eyes.

"Did you steal the villager's cow last night?"

"Instructor, don't joke around. We ate too much last night and are so full that we can't sleep at all."

"Hahaha~~~"

When the instructor heard this reason, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Are we still going shopping today?"

"Instructor, are we not leaving today?"

"We just received a notification that none of the people we found have left yet, so it'll probably be our turn in the next day or two."

There were simply too many people. With over 20,000 people gathered together for transfer, not enough boats could be provided at once, so everyone had to wait in line.

"Great! Where should we go today?"

Most of these new recruits spend their entire lives in villages and towns, perhaps living for ten or twenty years, and their activity range never exceeds twenty miles.

Everything in Niujia Town was so novel, which broadened their horizons.

"How about we go to the shipyard today?"

Yesterday was mostly fun, but today the instructors decided to take us to some more meaningful places, and a shipyard is a great option.

"A shipyard? That's great! I've never seen a shipyard in my life."

"Is it used for shipbuilding for our navy?"

As soon as they heard it was a shipyard, everyone gathered around, each chiming in with their own comments.

"The shipyard in Niujia Town is the earliest shipyard in Lord Zhou's territory. The first Bull Demon King-class warship was born here. However, now the shipyard in Niujia Town has been completely converted to civilian shipbuilding."

The instructor was an old man from Niujia Town, so he knew these things very well.

Upon hearing this, the new recruits all looked disappointed when they saw that they couldn't see any military warships.

"Although there are no military warships there, there are still civilian Bull Demon Kings."

"Really? That's great."

"Civilian ones are fine too. I heard it's a Bull Demon King-level boss. I wonder if it's as exaggerated as the rumors say."
