Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.

If Cheng Donglai had heard Lu Xiao's words, he would have regretted it immensely, but unfortunately, he couldn't hear them.

In the captain's office, the captain anxiously awaited news. Soon, his two right-hand men returned, the two privates first class excitedly and cautiously taking the gold bars from their pockets.

"Senior, we have already verified it, and it is indeed gold."

Upon hearing this, the captain's eyes lit up instantly. He was afraid that Lu Xiao was deceiving him and had some doubts about whether some of the gold bars were fake. So he had someone take them to a gold shop outside to verify them. All five gold bars were genuine, and now he was finally relieved.

The captain held a heavy weight of gold in his hand. It had already been measured; each piece weighed about 300 grams. If they sold it, they would never have to work again for the rest of their lives.

After confirming the quality of the gold, one of the privates said:

"But senior, we checked the backpacks of the new recruits before they enlisted, and we didn't see any gold bars at that time. Where did he get these things from?"

Another private said, "It is indeed a bit suspicious. Lu Xiao and Song Yi's files look unremarkable. Could they be illegitimate children of some rich man?"

The two privates' eyes suddenly widened; they felt their guess was very likely:

Captain: "That's very possible. Don't all rich people have a lot of illegitimate children? Because they can't be brought into the open, they're given ordinary family backgrounds."

The sergeant did indeed have this suspicion. Every year, there were quite a few people in the army who received special treatment, mostly the sons of wealthy families. Although the rules in the army were very strict, these rich people could still run rampant in the army and get whatever they wanted.

Private First Class: "No wonder those two were so arrogant, turns out they have connections."

If only there were more people like that, the sergeant and two privates returned to their dormitory fifteen minutes before lights out. Cheng Donglai had been waiting in the dormitory for a long time.

Cheng Donglai was trying to curry favor with the sergeant. Normally, the chubby boy Wang Ying would do the job of fetching water for washing feet every day, but today Cheng Donglai took it away from him.

The basin of water in his hand was snatched away by Cheng Donglai, and the chubby boy was stunned:

"This is the water for Captain Levi to wash his feet."

Cheng Donglai: "I know, I'll help you with that from now on."

"I think our Captain Levi is a good person, and I admire him a lot."

The chubby boy's lips twitched. He thought Cheng Donglai wanted to help him, but he realized he was overthinking it. However, when it came to Cheng Donglai's assessment that Captain Levi was a "good person," the chubby boy really didn't know what to say.

Cheng Donglai saw that the chubby boy hadn't moved and thought he was going to take it from him: "What are you still standing here for? I already said I'll get the water for Captain Levi."

People rush in to their deaths, and no one can stop them. The chubby boy left silently.

The moment the captain returned, Cheng Donglai immediately brought up the foot-washing water. The captain was taken aback when he saw that it wasn't the chubby boy.

"Why is it you? Where is Wang Ying?"

Cheng Donglai immediately flattered, "Senior, I have always admired you and wanted to learn from you. Please give me this opportunity."

When Cheng Donglai said this, Song Yi, Lu Xiao, and two other players living in the dormitory had just entered the room, and they all got goosebumps.

Meng Jing couldn't help but roll his eyes. Luckily, Cheng Donglai broke up with them, otherwise he would have asked himself to do the same!

I really don't know how to describe Cheng Donglai. I despise him, I really despise him.

However, the captain was quite pleased. Cheng Donglai was good-looking, and Lin Zheng was currently lying in the infirmary, needing someone to run errands for him. This kid seemed quite capable and knew how to say nice things, so the captain was quite satisfied.

The two privates next to the captain gave Cheng Donglai meaningful looks, probably cursing him as an idiot a hundred times in their hearts.

The sergeant looked Cheng Donglai up and down, then suddenly patted Cheng Donglai's shoulder and gave it a couple of squeezes; the muscles were quite firm.

"Good job, you did very well. You'll sleep in this spot from now on."

The sergeant patted the seat next to him, and Cheng Donglai was overjoyed, thinking that he had been given an important position and had squeezed out the two privates next to the sergeant. He had no idea what he was going to experience tonight.

Cheng Donglai: "Thank you for your appreciation, senior. I will definitely do my best."

Meng Jing muttered to himself, "Aren't they afraid of getting taken advantage of?"

Song Yi laughed, looking at Cheng Donglai with a mocking expression. He understood Cheng Donglai quite well.

Cheng Donglai has played so many games and has suffered losses before, so why does he still make this kind of mistake? Because that's just the kind of person he is.

Some kind-hearted people, even if they are deceived, will still make kind decisions next time.

Cheng Donglai is the same; he's a snob. He'd rather doubt his own luck than doubt the validity of his values.

After the captain finished washing his feet, Cheng Donglai picked up the foot-washing water to pour it out. When he turned around and saw Lu Xiao and Song Yi, his eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect these two players to come out so quickly. It seems they weren't beaten up.

Could it really be that Xu Dachun saved them? They're quite lucky!

Cheng Dong looked at Song Yi and Lu Xiao with hostility. Other players had broken ties with him because of the two of them, but people as troublesome as them would eventually cause big problems.

When Cheng Donglai stood in front of Song Yi, he said arrogantly, "You two should behave yourselves when you come out. Don't cause trouble now. We can save you once, but we can't save you forever."

Song Yi looked at Cheng Donglai: ? ? ? Who are you?

"Are you out of your mind? What are you pretending for? Mind your own business."

He'd be lucky if he didn't cry tonight, how could he possibly care about others? But what's wrong with him? Others would be trying to avoid this kind of thing, yet he's practically offering himself up to the captain.

Hearing Song Yi's arrogant tone, Cheng Donglai rolled his eyes. He thought these two were hopeless; they had no idea how to restrain themselves.

Unexpectedly, the captain's attitude was excessively kind when he saw Lu Xiao.

Sergeant: "Our private is back. You must have had a hard day."

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "That's true to some extent, mainly because the food isn't good."

The captain's kind attitude towards Lu Xiao puzzled Cheng Donglai. After the captain said those words with a "concerned" tone, Cheng Donglai's heart skipped a beat. He considered all sorts of possibilities, such as the captain being sarcastic, praising to kill, or saying the opposite of what he meant. He never thought that the captain was impressed by Lu Xiao's money.

When Lu Xiao complained about the army's food, Cheng Donglai labeled Lu Xiao as ungrateful, but when the sergeant heard this, he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
