Chapter 577: Rearranging Ranking
On the next day, about 185 people gathered on the open field of the Deviant Corp’s campground, standing in a total of 9 rows with about 20 people in each row.
Xu Cheng felt that he shouldn’t just let time pa.s.s every day and must train them. These guys all had good physiques that were tempered in this chaotic land. So, if he didn’t strictly train them to improve them, it would be a pity.
Xu Cheng stood in front of them all and said, “Those that think they are talented marksmen, stand out!”
The mercenaries looked at each other, and then a few brave ones stood out.
There were about 20 people in total.
Xu Cheng nodded. “Attention!”
Then, he called out, “Chekov!”
“Here!” Chekov stepped out.
“You will be the instructor for marksmanship and sniping, these twenty soldiers will be trained by you from now on.”
Chekov first was a little stunned, and then he was overjoyed and he answered in a loud and deep voice, “All 20 of you, come and report to me.”
Then, the 20 soldiers immediately jogged to Chekov’s side and got into formation. These guys would be considered to belong to the sniper camp now.
Seeing this, the other team captains and soldiers finally realized why Big Brother Cheng was rearranging them into different groups.
Then, Xu Cheng continued, “Those with great strength, step forward!”
Immediately, 30 burly guys came forward.
“Mario!” Xu Cheng then shouted.
Mario’s heart skipped a beat as he excitedly stood at attention and said, “Here!”
“You can be the instructor for strength training, these guys temporarily belong to you now.”
“Yes, Boss!” Mario immediately shouted.
“Wait for a second, Big Brother Cheng.” At this time, a guy stood out and interrupted, “Big Brother Cheng, I have an objection.”
Xu Cheng: “Speak.”
This burly man glanced at Mario and said, “I don’t think I’m worse than him. I want to compete with him.”
Mario was quite happy hearing that. “No problem.”
Xu Cheng: “Little Dong, bring out a strong steel cable.”
“Okay.” Lin Dong immediately jogged over, picked up a steel cable, and threw over.
Mario and the challenger each took one end of the steel cable and wrapped it around their arms, about to see who can out-pull the other one, testing out their power, waist strength, and the ability to grip the ground.
Xu Cheng: “You guys ready?’
Mario and the challenger both nodded, their feet tightly gripped onto the ground, with their waist slightly lowered to cement themselves.
Xu Cheng raised a pistol and fired a shot into the air.
At the next second, both of them suddenly summoned explosive strength and pulled on the steel cable. To put it bluntly, it was just a tug of war. When both of them summoned all their power at once, the steel cable was immediately straightened like a pole.
Both of them began sweating off their foreheads, all wanting to be the instructor, thus not holding back at all.
In the beginning, both of them were very stable with cementing their position. But, after three minutes pa.s.sed, Mario seemed to be gaining an edge on consistently outputting an incredible amount of power. His breathing remained better than the challenger, and in an instant, he pulled the opponent over by about 20cm. Although it was just 20cm, it showed that the challenger was not able to keep up for too much longer.
After about 5 minutes, Mario suddenly roared as his body went into overdrive, completely pulling the challenger over to his side.
The challenger skipped a breath and couldn’t maintain his balance, as he fell forward into the “dog-eating-sh-t” position and got pulled over on the ground.
The other guys immediately came to help him up, and he said to Mario, completely convinced, “You win!”
“Very good.” Xu Cheng applauded. “Mario is the instructor for strength-training then. What’s your name?”
The lost challenger froze for a bit and then answered, “Boss, my name is Churchill.”
“Very good, Churchill. You are still young, you can be the deputy, and you will work with Mario in the future,” Xu Cheng said.
Churchill immediately stood at attention and shouted, “Yes, Boss!
Mario then shouted out to the gang, “All come and report to me.”
Then, Xu Cheng looked at the remaining guys and asked, “Those that have a deep understanding of all kinds of guns, step out. Or as long as you are interested in weapon structures.”
At this time, among over a hundred guys, only two people hesitantly stood out.
“Big Brother Cheng, we don’t really have too much knowledge about guns, but we are quite interested in studying this field.”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Very good, then I will arrange for you two to get familiar with all kinds of guns and ammunition originating from all countries, and I will give you half a month. I hope you two can study hard, and when you guys are done, you will be responsible for teaching the brothers cla.s.ses on this, helping them familiarize themselves with all the guns and ammunition out there, so we can make the best measures on the battlefield in the future.”
Those two guys were very excited. “Yes, Boss!”
After those two were dismissed, Xu Cheng said, “Balu.”
Balu was the car thief, and standing in the corner, he didn’t know what he could do. At this moment, hearing his name called, he was a bit stunned.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Xu Cheng glared at him and shouted, “Yes, I’m calling you! You said you were very familiar with cars; do you know how to research and develop them?”
Balu nodded. “Yes, but don’t expect me to build a car. You don’t even have the basic materials and machinery here, I definitely can’t do it by myself.”
“I’m not telling you to build cars, you just need to understand cars. From now on, you will be responsible for staying here to give the brothers car-repairing lessons, teaching them all there is to know about fixing cars in the Land of Mercenaries.”
Balu was a bit unwilling.
At this time, a former-Cobra mercenary took out a gun and pointed at his head as he said, “Don’t forget, you are a hostage.”
Balu was so scared that he immediately nodded. “Alright, if they are willing to learn, I’m definitely happy to teach. I’m just afraid that during the cla.s.ses, their temper will get pretty bad and they will beat me.”
“Don’t worry, all cla.s.ses will have militarized management. Those that dare to disrespect the instructors will be punished by our clan laws!”
Then, Xu Cheng turned around and said, “Besides specialty training, the remaining guys will begin to be divided into groups. Luo Yi, Li Wei, Kurt…”
Marksmanship and strength training were survival skills in the Land of Mercenaries. First, Xu Cheng would have instructors train a group of people, and then those people would be a.s.signed to each group and then help the rest of the group train.
Xu Cheng called out 13 captains. Mario and Chekov had been a.s.signed out as special instructors, so they were temporarily not in this ranking. But their level in the clan would still be the same as these team captains.
Among the 185 people, 50 people were already allocated out, and the rest of them were grouped into groups of about 10.
Then, it was time for everyone to swear the oath to join the mercenary group.
Everyone would also be getting the symbol of the Deviant Corp tattooed onto them.
Normal mercenaries would have one hand over the earth, and there would be a star beside Earth.
The captains would have a moon.
