Chapter 29

Zhang Tie's words made everyone in the classroom fall into complete silence. A special feeling was flowing through everyone's hearts, and there was a faint sense of emotion. What was the camaraderie of classmates, what was brotherhood? Wasn't it those who could jump out without hesitation to scold you when they knew you were doing something foolish? It turned out everyone had misjudged this guy, but the way this guy scolded people really made people want to beat him up.

Captain Colin remained silent, his gaze on Zhang Tie filled with something special.

"Last week, I think we met in the small forest. I remember your name was..." Captain Colin scratched his head; the face in front of him suddenly became much clearer, reminding him of something.

"Zhang Tie!"

"I remember now, it's Zhang Tie. What you just said was very right, because I used to be a scumbag worse than a pig!" After a deep look at Zhang Tie, Captain Colin turned his head, took a deep breath, and suddenly roared like a lion at the group on the left, making the entire teaching building tremble in his roar. "You scumbags worse than pigs, do you know where you went wrong? For the rest of the class, each of you will run twenty laps around the track and shout 'I am a scumbag worse than a pig' a thousand times. Today's survival class is to make you remember that sometimes recklessness doesn't mean courage, and fleeing doesn't mean cowardice. On the battlefield, your only task and goal is to stay alive while making the enemy suffer and die. No matter what you do, you must achieve at least one of these two goals to be a qualified soldier. Otherwise, you are trash that should be buried underground..."

...

For the rest of the class, Zhang Tie's class was held outside the classroom. A group of students ran around the school track while shouting, "I am a scumbag worse than a pig," "I am a scumbag worse than a pig," "I am a scumbag worse than a pig." The shouts were deafening, attracting the attention of all the teachers and students in the school. Everyone watched with amusement during their breaks.

Captain Colin sent the fat guy Barry and Savage to the track to supervise, counting to see if the guys had shouted enough. He then called Zhang Tie to his side.

"Cough... cough... Your performance in the small forest last time left a deep impression on me. Students as tough as you are rare!"

Zhang Tie gave a dry laugh, knowing that the excuse he had made last time couldn't fool the one-eyed dragon, who was sharp-eyed and meticulous. It wasn't that he was hard to deceive; it was just that he was too lazy to argue with a few students. "That... it was just for fun... just for fun. We are all good friends, and no one used much force!"

Seeing Captain Colin rubbing his beard with one hand, Zhang Tie felt a sense of foreboding. This was a lesson learned by countless predecessors at the school through blood and tears. When Captain Colin pretended to think and rubbed his rough beard while speaking in a leadership tone, it usually meant someone was about to be in trouble.

"Ha... ha... Don't be modest, Zhang Tie. I saw you all fighting until you were bloody and bruised, very lively, very lively. Young people should be like this, should be like this..."

"Where, where!" Zhang Tie's heart was already pounding, unsure what kind of trouble Captain Colin was about to dump on him.

"Your theory of fleeing today has made me see you in a new light. You are not only tough but also know how to protect yourself in danger. Such a quality... cough... cough... is very rare. You are a rare talent."

"Where, where!" Zhang Tie was already breaking out in a cold sweat. Another lesson learned by the students at the Seventh National Male High School was that when Captain Colin started rubbing his beard and praising someone in a leadership tone, that person was definitely going to be in trouble, not just likely, but 100% certain. "Captain Colin, if there's nothing else, I'll go. I'll go watch them run to make sure they don't slack off!"

"Don't be in a hurry to leave. I have a special reward for you that I haven't given you yet!"

"Ah, no, thank you, Captain Colin. How can I accept your reward?"

"Cough... cough... You must, you must. Am I the kind of person who doesn't keep my word, Zhang Tie? Do you want to question the integrity of the upright Captain Colin?" As Captain Colin spoke, his large hands, like fans, already pressed down on Zhang Tie's shoulders, making him immobile. His one eye, with 100% sincerity, was right in front of Zhang Tie. "I'm introducing you to a part-time job for your free time. It's a rare opportunity, not only well-paid but also a chance to exercise and meet many wealthy and influential people, broadening your horizons. If you do well, it will greatly improve your strength. The workplace is full of beautiful women, and you might even have the chance to get close to some of them. Many people have asked me, but I haven't agreed. Besides you, I don't think there's anyone more suitable!"

Zhang Tie was astonished. Could the experience of the predecessors be wrong? Could there be such a good thing in the world? Or was it just his good luck that all these good things were happening to him? Could a job that was well-paid, allowed him to meet important people, and was surrounded by beautiful women really fall into his lap?

Zhang Tie was slightly tempted, considering whether Captain Colin was telling the truth, but before he could nod, Captain Colin was already patting his shoulder and eagerly pushing a piece of paper into Zhang Tie's pocket. "You agreed, great! This is your letter of introduction. After school today, report to No. 18 Mingguang Street. Just show this letter, and someone will arrange the rest for you..."

Mingguang Street? Really Mingguang Street? Hearing this, Zhang Tie immediately believed 50% of what Captain Colin said. That was the golden area of Black Flame City, the most expensive place, a place where the rich spent their money. The value of any item in a store window there was equivalent to an ordinary person's annual salary. It was the essence of Black Flame City. Owning an apartment on Mingguang Street was a symbol of status in Black Flame City...

Could he have misunderstood Captain Colin? The words "Mingguang Street" made Zhang Tie's eyes sparkle. He instinctively grabbed the letter of introduction, looked at Captain Colin with gratitude, and said, "Thank you."

Captain Colin was a good person. Zhang Tie was filled with gratitude for him.

"Cough... cough... No need to thank me. Don't let me down. Just do your best!"

Captain Colin's face turned a rare shade of red, and he left with a laugh...

"I am a scumbag worse than a pig"

...

"I am a scumbag worse than a pig"

...

"I am a scumbag worse than a pig"

...

Watching the guys running and shouting on the track, Zhang Tie felt a sense of superiority. He took out the letter of introduction and tapped it with his finger, filled with anticipation for after school. "I'm about to mix in Mingguang Street, taste the flavor of the upper class, and let the bastards envy me..."

At noon, Captain Colin fulfilled his "reward" for Zhang Tie and the fat guy Barry and the others. When they were getting their food, he had the cafeteria add a meat dish to their plates. Seeing the fragrant braised pork on Zhang Tie's and the others' plates, Doug and Baghdad were so envious that they drooled. Doug reached out with his spoon to Barry's plate but was hit hard by Barry's fork, causing him to yelp and finally behave.

Baghdad had a bit more self-control. He just closed his eyes while eating potatoes and muttered, "This is braised pork, this is braised pork..." which was very amusing.

Xista and Light sandwiched Savage in the middle of their chairs, their eyes fixed on the fragrant food on Savage's plate. They smiled and called out, "Savage..."

As soon as they spoke, they saw Savage spit the half-chewed braised pork, covered in saliva, back into the pile on his plate and stirred it with a spoon. Looking at Xista and Light, whose faces were twitching, Savage blinked innocently and asked, "What's up? Oh, right, do you two want some braised pork? It's very good. We're all good brothers, no need to be polite, each of you can have a little..." Savage pretended to share the half-digested braised pork with Xista and Light, scaring them into covering their plates and running away. Within seconds, the two bastards were betting on who would dare to eat a piece of the braised pork, with the loser owing the other a silver coin. They argued endlessly...

"By the way, I saw you almost step to the left this morning. Why did you pull back and stand still?" Zhang Tie, savoring the braised pork, remembered a question and asked Barry during lunch.

The fat guy was silent for a moment, resolving Zhang Tie's confusion. "When I was about to step, I looked at Captain Colin again. I suddenly realized that his smile was exactly the same as the one he had when he caught me climbing over the wall to get into school two years ago. I was immediately scared awake..."

Being caught climbing over the wall to get into school, Zhang Tie silently mourned for the fat guy. He didn't ask how Captain Colin dealt with him afterward because he knew it would be a dark memory for the fat guy at the Seventh National Male High School. However, this incident made Zhang Tie marvel at the fat guy's ability to read people's expressions and avoid trouble, a high-level skill he knew he could never learn...

Looking at the cute bastards of the Airplane Brotherhood, Zhang Tie realized that these guys were all talented!

"By the way, I think I saw Captain Colin give you something!" The fat guy Barry said while eating, seemingly absentmindedly. As soon as Barry spoke, all the bastards of the Airplane Brotherhood perked up their ears.

Zhang Tie slapped the fat guy's shoulder hard, making him wince and almost spit out the meat in his mouth. "You bastard, if you want to ask, just ask. Why be so vague? What's the point? Here, this is what Captain Colin gave me. It's a letter of introduction. He said he introduced me to a part-time job on Mingguang Street No. 18..."

Rubbing his shoulder, the fat guy smiled sheepishly. Baghdad, who had been muttering about the braised pork, had a strange expression when he heard Mingguang Street No. 18, almost choking on a potato.

Zhang Tie didn't notice Baghdad's strange expression and was filled with vanity, boasting proudly, "Captain Colin said this was a special reward for me, and no one else was suitable. The incident in the small forest left a deep impression on him. He said the part-time job is well-paid, has good benefits, and allows me to meet many wealthy and influential people. It not only exercises my body but also improves my strength. Oh, and there might be a chance to get close to beautiful women! Actually, I didn't want to go, but Captain Colin insisted. You know, my biggest weakness is being too soft-hearted and can't bear to see others in trouble. After Captain Colin begged me for a long time, I reluctantly agreed. It's all because I'm too good and do too many good things. Even something like this, where I can get close to beautiful women and get paid, fell on my head. It can even exercise my body. Although I usually don't have other thoughts in such situations, I can't guarantee that the women won't have thoughts about me. What should I do if a beautiful woman wants to force herself on me? Should I agree or not? It's a happy dilemma. This part-time job is too much of a test of one's willpower, and I don't have much willpower. Hey, don't go, I'm not done talking yet..."

The final response to Zhang Tie was a row of middle fingers from the bastards of the Airplane Brotherhood as they turned around...
