Chapter 78 - The Results of Squad Leader Haos Special Training (2/2)
Qin Fen laughed but didn’t answer. Anybody who stayed in recruit boot camp long enough would easily know of Squad Leader Hao, especially for his personality and strength. Dreadfully, the cook might know Squad Leader Hao because he had been tricked by him in the past.
“Have you been tricked by Old Hao before, kid?”
Qin Fen looked at the clock on the wall, discovering that there was still a few minutes till midnight. “He tricked me three times today.”
“Three times.” The cook had a bit of an exaggerated expression, “This means that Old Hao thinks quite favorably of you.”
Qin Fen was quite speechless. Didn’t this mean that Squad Leader Hao loved someone to death if he tricked that person a hundred times in a day? It’s really too pitiful for the tricked person, right?”
“Interesting. How interesting.” The cook walked out of the kitchen and sat besides Qin Fen. “You have a decent head on your shoulders, kid. Are you interested in learning how to cook with me?”
Qin Fen shook his head toward this friendly cook, “I’m afraid I don’t have the time.”
“You don’t have the time?” The cook found it strange. “Even if you’re busy with recruit training, you should still have some time at least.”
“Really, I’m quite busy.” Qin Fen groped for an excuse./v ip novel. com
Though the drill instructors didn’t forbid Qin Fen from leaking the matter of his special training, Qin Fen didn’t want to bring unnecessary troubles upon the drill instructors.
“You’re this busy?” The cook sized up Qin Fen for quite a while, feeling very strange about it. In the end, he simply dialed a number on his cell at quick speeds.
“Hello, the owner of this number has yet to answer the phone, so why not hear a commercial first? Are you dreaming a lot? Suffering from insomnia? Is your heart rate irregular?
The voice that came out of the receiver was a new business launched by modern mobile communication companies. They inserted commercials within the time it took to make a call. Qin Fen really admired this business decision.
The commercial suddenly stopped, and a familiar roar exploded from the telephone’s receiver, “Which bastard is this who dares disturb this boss’s late night sleep!”
As Squad Leader Hao roared, the cook very used to such things, had already placed his cellphone on the table. He waited until Squad Leader Hao stopped roaring. “It’s me, Old Hao! Cookster!” The cook immediately said when the roaring stopped from the telephone. “I met one of your soldiers. He’s a very interesting young man. I want to have him learn culinary arts from me. The kid says he’s very busy, that he doesn’t have the time. I wanted to ask you for an order to have him learn from me.”
“Cookster? When did you come back? One of my soldiers? A busy one? What’s his name?” A series of questions rang from Squad Leader Hao without end, illustrating the extremely close relationship the two had.
“His name?” The cook paused and looked at Qin Fen.
“It’s me, Squad Leader….”
Qin Fen hadn’t spoken loudly, but he knew that Squad Leader Hao could distinguish his voice even with his distance from the microphone.
“Qin Fen? Cookster, he’s Qin Zhan’s little brother. I gave up on finding you after I heard you went out to teach some folk. That’s the only reason why I didn’t go looking for you. If you’re interested, you can join the rest of us scum in allocating the time. This boss is very busy, having just dreamed of beautiful women when you woke him from a beautiful dream. Remember! You owe me a meal! Also, this boss won’t eat the pig feed you make. We’re doing the Golden Pavilion Restaurant! And so it’s decided!”
Crack….
On the other end of the call, Squad Leader Hao didn’t give the cook any chance to bargain at all. He simply hung up the phone.
Cookster stared idly at Qin Fen as he held the phone in his hands. So this was Qin Zhan’s little brother? Qin Zhan, a prideful son of heaven, had a little brother?
Qin Fen felt a few of his hairs raise from being watched by Cookster. W-What sort of recruit training camp was this? From Squad Leader Hao’s tone, this cook seemed to be a bullish person as well.
There should be a limit to crouching tigers and hidden dragons, right? Even in this kitchen, Qin Fen had encountered a bull of a man. It seemed like he should go try out some lottery companies with this luck.
“So your name is Qin Fen, kid?”
“Yes.”
“And Qin Zhan is your older brother.”
“I have an older brother called Qin Zhan….”
“Though Old Hao loves to trick people, but his eyes are amazingly fierce. He’s not the type to place importance on names, so you must be talented.” Cookster’s happily extended one of his large hands and smacked Qin Fen on the soldier. “You will learn from me tomorrow, kid! They monopolized you for so many days, so it’s my turn….”
“Oh,” Qin Fen responded, upon which, he decided to carefully inform Cookster. “Phoenix said she’ll be the one teaching me tomorrow.”
Cookster, whose bearing was overflowing with an impressive confidence just now, suddenly had his complexion freeze. “What? Tomorrow is Phoenix’s class? Then I’ll do the day after….”
Indeed…. Qin Fen new knew that not only could Phoenix intimidate others, Phoenix could intimidate this cook with equal effectiveness as well.
The cook was a blunt person, so he didn’t chat too much with Qin Fen. He walked Qin Fen toward the gravity chambers after the Qin Fen finished eating. “It’s best for you to sleep in the gravity chambers at your age. You’re at the age of rapid growth in strength.”
The cook’s thoughts happened to lined up with Qin Fen’s. Qin Fen didn’t raise any objections as he headed back to the hall to the gravity chambers.
“Which gravity chamber were you using? 1.2 times? 1.3 times?”
The female soldier servicing the desk whispered, “He was using the 1.5 times gravity chamber.”
“1.5 times?” The cook studied Qin Fen, “Amazing, kid!”
