The strongest production soldier, awarded first-class merit for feeding pigs.

"12100, finally I can do one more draw! I need to hurry up and open the treasure chest!"

As Chen Jun looked at the amount spent on the system screen, his heart began to pound uncontrollably, his anticipation for the treasure chest he was about to open reached its peak.

As Chen Jun thought of something, a line of words appeared on the system screen.

[Ding! Host has requested to use a special benefit. You will now spend 10000 points to draw a Black Iron Treasure Chest. Do you confirm?]

"confirm."

Chen Jun silently recited the command, and the system's light screen changed.

With only 2100 left in spending, a mysterious treasure chest appeared in the center of the screen, entirely black and inlaid with gilded runes.

Above the treasure chest are two lines of text that provide a brief introduction to it.

[Black Iron Treasure Chest, 20% chance of winning.]

"Huh? The treasure chest level isn't about the quality of the prize, it's about the odds of winning? And it's only one in five! Isn't that a rip-off?"

Chen Junjun was completely numb.

I've seen scams before, but I've never seen one this scammed.

Starting with a unit that's hard to afford is bad enough, but even drawing the lowest-level treasure chest costs 100,000, and the odds of winning a prize from the chest are so low.

How can we play like this?

"System, if you don't want to give me the prize, just say so. Don't play games with me like this. I can live my life just fine without you, you damn system."

Chen Jun was so angry he almost bit his teeth off; he was exhausted after all the effort he had put in.

"Damn system, I don't care if you can hear me or not, I'm giving you an ultimatum: if you empty this treasure chest, you're fired, or I'll uninstall you."

With things having come to this point, Chen Jun had no other options but to try his luck, even if it seemed hopeless.

But just as Chen Jun was about to click to open the treasure chest...

"Chen Jun, what are you doing? Why are you taking so long? I've already bought everything, and I've been waiting for over ten minutes without seeing you. The cooks are waiting for the food to come back and cook. If you get back late, the quartermaster will kill you."

Pan Wenjun's loud, dissatisfied shouts pulled Chen Jun's thoughts away from the system.

Pan Wenjun, who was in charge of buying things, was seen carrying large and small bags back home. The bags looked quite heavy, causing him to stand up straight.

"Squad Leader Pan, I'm sorry, I went to buy some things for tonight's dinner, which took up a little time."

Chen Jun had no choice but to stop opening the treasure chests, and with a forced smile, he jogged over to meet him, quickly taking some of the bags in an attempt to make a good impression.

After all, if they want to continue going out to shop in the future, they really can only rely on "suppliesman" Pan Wenjun.

"The company will buy everything for the meals, so there's no need for a new recruit like you to buy them. However, it's too late to return them now. Big-faced Cat has already called to urge them. So, tell me how much you spent, and I'll ask the quartermaster to reimburse you when we get back. Consider it as me buying it for the company."

Pan Wenjun had seen Chen Jun withdraw two hundred yuan and assumed that Chen Jun would use the two hundred yuan to buy something. He didn't think much of it since it was such a small amount of money.

I thought I would just buy some drinks and maybe some sunflower seeds, peanuts, and fruit.

Although the meal was organized by the company, it was generally a team-building activity, and it was not unusual for people to bring their own food to the meeting to eat together.

Especially beer, which is consumed in large quantities, the company never buys enough for each meal.

Almost everyone will pull out their "personal stash".

"Squad Leader Pan, thank you for your kindness. It didn't cost much, so there's no need to ask the quartermaster for reimbursement. Consider it a token of my appreciation."

Chen Jun politely declined Pan Wenjun's suggestion without revealing the truth.

This is a better way to handle it. If Chen Jun had said it directly, that he spent more than 10,000 yuan and then said it was just a small amount of money, it would have seemed obviously pretentious and hypocritical.

"You new recruits don't get paid, and your monthly allowance is so meager, so don't try to act like rich guys with me."

Pan Wenjun gave Chen Jun a disdainful look, then said with a hint of smugness, "I'm the company's supply officer. My words carry weight with the quartermaster. With your meager pay, it's just a matter of a word from me."

Without waiting for Chen Jun's reply, Pan Wenjun quickened his pace and walked towards the parking spot.

"Just a word?"

Chen Jun smiled as he watched Pan Wenjun's retreating figure and did not continue arguing.

When the two returned to the truck, the beer deliveryman had already unloaded the beer and left, leaving only the driver, Huang Chao, with his buttocks sticking out and leaning against the back panel of the truck bed.

"Hey, Superman, what's so interesting in the carriage that you're watching so intently? Didn't you even know we were here?" Pan Wenjun called out from a distance.

The truck was parked upright on the side of the road, with its side facing the town, so Pan Wenjun couldn't see inside the truck bed.

"Hey Cantonese guy, come see for yourself, we're going to have a blast tonight, haha."

Huang Chao's voice was filled with excitement as he kept his eyes fixed on the back of the truck, without turning his head back.

"What a joke! There have been too many people going on leave to visit their families or being transferred out of the company lately, so our living expenses have shrunk drastically. We're lucky if each person gets to drink a bottle at this company dinner."

Pan Wenjun retorted verbally, but his curiosity had been piqued, so he quickened his pace.

"Didn't I buy everything in the car? Why make me come and look at it myself? It's pointless, nothing..."

Pan Wenjun muttered as he approached the back of the car. When his eyes fell upon the beer pile that filled half the carriage, and the large bag of cigarettes placed on top of the beer, he froze, swallowing the rest of his words.

"Hey Cantonese guy, were you scared? Hehe, I was startled too."

Huang Chao slapped Pan Wenjun hard on the shoulder, his grin almost reaching his ears. In all his years in the army, he had never had such a lavish meal.

"Didn't I only buy ten cases of beer? There are at least thirty here, where did they come from? Did some kind person deliver them to the wrong address?"

Pan Wenjun swallowed hard a few times; the visual impact of what he saw was simply too strong.

"There's no kind soul who sent you to the wrong place, but there is a good recruit, right here next to you." Huang Chao raised an eyebrow and looked at Chen Jun with a grin.

"You mean, Chen Jun bought all of these?" Pan Wenjun asked in astonishment.

"Yeah, he not only bought these bottles of liquor, but he also bought ten cartons of cigarettes, each costing several hundred yuan. I roughly calculated that it must have cost at least ten thousand yuan. He spent ten thousand yuan in one go. Our company probably has a pampered soldier, haha." Huang Chao laughed.

"Uh, okay, if it's him, then it's normal."

Pan Wenjun finally realized what had happened. Thinking back to when he came over, he had arrogantly said that he could get reimbursed, and his face burned with embarrassment.

To ease his embarrassment, Pan Wenjun had to put on a stern face and lecture him: "Chen Jun, I know you have a lot of money. You brought 800 million yuan with you to join the army, making you the only one in the entire army. But you can't spend money so extravagantly."

This is money your parents worked hard to earn. You can't spend it recklessly like this. You have to save it...

"Class monitor, this is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't be so formal."

Seeing that Pan Wenjun was about to give him a lecture, Chen Jun quickly interrupted him and changed the subject, urging, "Didn't you say you were urging us to go back? Let's hurry up and leave."
