Chapter 13 Seventeenth Vanguard Squadron

Wang Yao wanted to bang his head against the wall at this moment!

I once read an inspirational short sentence, which said that when God closes a door in front of you, he will also open a window for you. Although God is very busy and did not come to close Wang Yao's door out of boredom, God was very stupid and dug a pit at the door of his house, and it was a bottomless pit!

If I had to describe Wang Yao's mood at this moment, it was like when he was playing ranked, he had gone through untold hardships to reach the Star Glory level 1 5-star rank, and he only needed to win one more game to be promoted to the King rank. But then he inexplicably started to lose in a row, until he was forced to fall to the Diamond rank. At this time, I guess everyone would want to smash the phone!
Wang Yao now has the urge to smash his phone!
Damn it! Is God here to bless or to tease him?! Giving a cheat comes with a hellish unlocking condition? Is this how welfare is given?! If you are too busy, you should just not come. Is it fun to give a blank check?!

Wang Yao only felt that there were thousands of gods riding on alpaca horses galloping in his heart.

Wang Yao couldn't accept the rapid plot twist, and neither could Luna. She didn't care whether Wang Yao was cheated by God or someone else. She only knew that all her savings that she had worked hard to save for a year were lost by this guy!
"When will you return my gold coins?" Luna said angrily.

Wang Yao, who was completely desperate, said: "Sister, can you pay it back in installments?"

"no!"

"Isn't this possible? My monthly salary is only 7 silver and 20 bronze!"

"no!"

"At worst, I can do all the housework from now on, right?!"

“No, no, no, no!!”

No matter what, after Wang Yao's repeated persuasion, the matter finally came to an end. However, from then on, Wang Yao and Luna's relationship went directly from roommates to debtors.

That night, Wang Yao was lying on the bed, feeling a blockage in his chest, unable to move up or down. He took out his phone and turned on Chen Xiaochun's song "You're So Cruel" as a lullaby. He only thought in his heart that if God also started a live broadcast one day, he would definitely turn on this song without hesitation to give it to the 13! !

The next day, the sun shines brightly.

Because the window faced the sun, the sunlight easily shone onto the bed in the room. Wang Yao woke up in a daze, feeling uncomfortable. With a pair of swollen eyes, he felt indescribably tired. He grabbed his mobile phone and checked the time.

7:55 pm.

Wang Yao stared at the screen of his mobile phone drowsily, thinking that he seemed to have forgotten something - Zhuge Liang's wooden face inexplicably flashed through his mind.

By the way, he has to report to the legion headquarters today. Yesterday, he was incorporated into the so-called "49th Squad of the th Battalion of the Road Legion".

Although he wanted to sleep a little longer, he had no choice but to go. Who knows if he would be beheaded by that show-stealing person if he was absent? Wang Yao got out of bed and put on his clothes reluctantly. He had traveled through time, but it was really annoying to feel like he had to go to class!
Others who travel through time all sleep until they wake up naturally, and usually just focus on various cultivation and academic studies. Then look at yourself? What a difference between people!
After putting on his clothes, Wang Yao opened the door and happened to run into Luna who had just gotten up.

At this time, Luna had just got up and had not tied her hair up. Her silver-white hair was casually draped around her shoulders, which could not hide her proud and well-proportioned figure. Her fair skin could be vaguely seen under the thin silk pajamas. It was good to live with a beautiful woman. It was a benefit to have such an early morning experience.

Unexpectedly, Luna was stunned when she saw Wang Yao: "Huh? Why are you still at home?"

"Huh?" Wang Yao was also stunned, and then he said bitterly: "Didn't we discuss this last night? I will definitely return the 250 gold coins to you later. You won't kick me out of the house, right?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Luna blinked seriously, "It's just that I seem to remember that the time for you new recruits to report should be at the hour of Mao, right?"

"——So?"

"But it's already Chenshi time now!"

Chenshi?

王耀努力的回忆着在历史上学到的知识，子时是23-1点，丑时是1-3点，寅时是3-5点，卯时5-7点——再看看手机屏幕上显示的8：02分，王耀顿时亡魂大冒！

I'm over an hour late, damn it!
With a strange cry, Wang Yao ran downstairs without caring about Luna.

Why, why is his life full of tragedy!!
He ran to the Shu army's base camp out of breath, and after asking the gatekeeper for the direction of the new recruit camp, Wang Yao ran a long distance, tumbling and crawling.

As expected, there were only a few soldiers stationed in the huge recruit camp.

Wang Yao held onto the pillar, panting, "New recruit Wang Yao reporting in!"

A soldier who seemed to be in charge of registration glanced at Wang Yao, turned his head and said to the inside: "Maomao, your new recruit is here!" (Maomao, pronounced three times)

Wang Yao looked in the direction he was looking and saw a black-haired girl wearing a blue cloak, who looked very much like a "magic soldier" walking towards him. She looked to be about the same age as him, with healthy wheat-yellow skin and a pretty face. However, compared to heroes like Luna and Mulan, whose faces and bodies had the standard golden ratio, there was still some gap between them.

The black-haired girl came closer, staring at the panting Wang Yao. After a long while, she grinned, revealing her white teeth, and said, "Hello, I'm a magic soldier from the 17th Squadron of the Vanguard Corps. You can call me Maomao, new recruit. You're late."

Wang Yao blushed: "I got the time wrong." The black-haired girl waved her hand: "You should tell the captain the reason later. Now, change into your military uniform first." After saying that, she pulled Wang Yao into the military tent on the side without any further explanation.

The military tent was quite large, with more than a dozen sets of soldiers' armor hanging inside. The girl picked one of them and compared Wang Yao's height and size: "You should be 1.8 meters tall, right? Well, this is the one I'll take. Put it on and report out. I'll go to the steward to register your equipment first."

Having said that, the girl threw her military uniform at Wang Yao and walked out of the tent.

Looking at the blue armor in front of him, Wang Yao sighed as he put it on. He never thought that one day he would wear the clothes of the soldiers. Speaking of which, this chain mail is quite difficult to put on -

Iron boots, armor, knee pads, helmets, short cloaks, which are usually not noticed. The soldiers' equipment is actually very complicated. Wang Yao spent a long time on it before he finished putting them on.

After walking two steps, I found that it fit well, but was a little heavy. All the equipment together probably weighed more than ten pounds!
"Are you ready?" The urging voice of the girl named Maomao came from outside the military tent.

"Okay." After responding, Wang Yao opened the curtain and walked out. Although Wang Yao was a little thin, he was about 180 cm tall. At this time, with the armor of a soldier, he looked quite decent.

Maomao stared at Wang Yao with interest for a long time, then said with a smile: "You look very handsome. This military uniform suits you very well!"

"Thank you. What should we do next?" Wang Yao adjusted the heavy helmet on his face uncomfortably.

"I'll take you to the assembly point to meet the captain." Maomao said as he led the way out of the barracks. "There are currently six people in our 17th squad, including you. When there is no war, the captain will be responsible for leading us to train in the field."

Wang Yao nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It wasn't because he was very adaptable, but because he suddenly found that the armor on his body was hard and heavy, and he was not used to walking in it. He really didn't have the mood to think about other things now.

Next, Maomao took Wang Yao to travel between hills and woods, which undoubtedly made Wang Yao complain bitterly. Mountain roads are generally difficult to walk on, and wearing heavy clothes and armor made it even more difficult to move forward.

Look at the girl? She is wearing the same armor, but she is very agile. Regular soldiers who have been trained are different. Their physique is far from comparable to Wang Yao's current one.

Wang Yao couldn't help thinking that it would be nice if he could have a pair of "Boots of Swiftness", but when he thought about the boots costing 530 gold coins, he became depressed again.

Now as a regular soldier of the Shu Kingdom Legion, Wang Yao's income is 7 silver and 20 bronze. If he earns 10 gold coins a year, he has to work as a soldier for 53 years without eating or drinking to earn enough gold coins to buy a pair of "Boots of Swiftness". This is almost impossible. It is unknown whether he can survive on the battlefield for 53 years.
Alas, no matter which world we go to, God will always punish the poor!
In this way, the two of them wandered around in the mountains for more than an hour. Finally, when Wang Yao was out of breath, Maomao stopped and said, "We're here."

Wang Yao felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He gasped for breath and looked forward.

There were four soldiers waiting for them at the foot of a rocky hill, some sitting on rocks and some leaning in the shade.

"Aha! Our new recruits are finally here." said a soldier with blue eyes, as if he saw some interesting prey.

At this time, a burly middle-aged soldier also came towards them.

"Captain." Maomao saluted the sturdy man, and then said to Wang Yao: "This is the captain of our seventeenth team, Su An."

Wang Yao looked at the burly man in front of him who was almost a head taller than him. He saw that under his helmet, his face was covered with curly beard and his eyes were looking back at him without any emotion.

"I have three things to tell you, new recruit." Su An said in a deep voice: "First, welcome to our 17th Squad. We will fight side by side and share weal and woe. If possible, I hope that in the future, we can leave this battlefield alive together."

These words were not in an official tone and were very down-to-earth, which immediately made Wang Yao, who was already a little nervous, feel a little favorable towards him.

"Secondly, let me introduce you to your future teammates. You should know Maomao. She is the backbone of our team, a magician. The one with green eyes is Shi Liang, the one sitting on the stone is Xiaoye, and the one holding a shield in the shadow is Erda." Su An introduced them to Wang Yao one by one.

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Yao. Please take care of me in the future." Wang Yao quickly greeted everyone.

"Hey, new soldier, don't be in a hurry to talk about the future. Who knows if you will end up like the last unlucky guy?" The green-eyed soldier named Shi Liang suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"The last unlucky guy?" Wang Yao was confused.

At this time, the soldier named Ono also started to make a noise, "Haha! That's right, a poor guy, he joined our team only two days ago, and he was killed by an arrow from nowhere as soon as he entered the battlefield. The arrow went through his forehead and hit the bull's eye. His brain flew out so fast! Oh, so you are here to take his place."

Wang Yao's face turned pale. Looking at the two soldiers who started describing to him all kinds of bloody and brutal scenes that were not suitable for children, he suddenly felt like he had entered a den of wolves.

What do they mean? A show of force?
Wang Yao thought of the military training during his school days. At this time, shouldn't he express a warm welcome and say all kinds of words about sharing life and death to boost the morale of the new recruits?

The plot is a little different!
