After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1218: The Worst Group I’ve Ever Trained

How was he supposed to respond to that?

Xi Mo had no trouble passing the training, but his concern was for the others.

Zhouzhou looked at him, sighed, and scratched her head in frustration. "Uncle, if it gets any easier, it'll be like playing house. A training with no difficulty is pointless—it won't help them if they can't even pass."

In fact, she already thought this particular trap was too easy.

However, she also noticed that every time she said this, her uncle didn't seem to approve, so she kept her thoughts to herself.

Her uncle was someone who could occasionally benefit from a little irritation for his health, but if it was too much, she'd feel sorry for him.

"Uncle, how about you point out where it's difficult? I can modify it if needed, but I still think that if it's hard for them, that's a good thing. They're too arrogant."

That was true.

They were all chosen from thousands of people; how could they not be full of themselves?

But arrogance was a dangerous thing. Whether in life or work, being arrogant often led to carelessness, and carelessness was a weakness others could exploit.

After thinking it over, he nodded. "Fine, no need to modify it. We'll keep it as is."

Her reasoning was valid. It was time to knock some sense into these people, so they wouldn't remain so cocky when it came time to compete on the field.

Zhouzhou smiled with delight. "So the punishment is...?"

Before she could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered.

Zhouzhou looked at him resentfully.

"Hey, what's this? You don't even let me talk anymore. Am I supposed to be mute now?"

Coincidentally, that was exactly what Xi Mo was thinking.

How could such a sweet girl have such a mouth? Maybe it would be better to turn her mute!

Xi Mo casually pulled out a candy and shoved it into her mouth, taking advantage of her chewing to walk away.

If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he might not be able to hold back from hitting her.

Watching his retreating figure, Zhouzhou pouted. Well, Uncle really couldn't take a joke.

She shook her head but quickly snapped back to focus, calling everyone over and explaining, "This is the training trap I designed for you. Try it out."

"Just this?" Fang Zichong looked at the structure in front of him, furrowing his brow. "It's too small. You can walk through it in a few steps. What's the point of training?"

It wasn't that small—roughly the size of two classrooms. But for them, it only took a few seconds to cross.

Commander, standing nearby, gave him a knowing look. "Young people... they just don't get it."

Zhouzhou nodded in agreement. "I think so too. It's pretty simple and you can get through it easily, but Uncle said it can't be too hard. You'll have to make do with this for now, and I'll add more difficulty in a couple of days. It'll be more fun then."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zichong frowned, clearly displeased. "What's Xi Mo doing? Why does he want everything to be easy? If we're playing, let's make it challenging! Do you think we're playing house here? What a waste of time."

Zhouzhou was about to say, "How about we raise the difficulty now?" but Commander suddenly coughed loudly, cutting her off.

He glanced at Fang Zichong and the others, his eyes narrowing. "Try it first, then talk."

These guys had no idea how difficult it was. Did they think they were like Zhouzhou, some kind of freak?

Could they handle a challenge like hers?

They weren't even close.

Fang Zichong, feeling confused by Commander's intense gaze, was unsure what to make of it.

He sighed, dismissing the thoughts. "Fine, I'll go first."

Once they passed, they could increase the difficulty. Fugui had spent time setting this up, so he might as well cooperate. He couldn't let his idol's effort go to waste.

With that, he felt somewhat pleased with himself, thinking how considerate he was.

However, the moment the first trap hit him, he was stunned.

Where did that come from?

Before he could even process it, he felt another pain.

Since this was training, Zhouzhou used non-harmful traps, but the impact still caused pain.

Fang Zichong scrambled to dodge but barely avoided another attack. Just when he thought he was in the clear, another trap came at him.

He staggered, tumbling, and yelping as he tried to make his way through.

The crowd that had been watching, expecting something simple, suddenly fell silent. The smiles on their faces froze.

What... was going on? Why was this so terrifying?

They had imagined it would be something like the 18 Bronzemen, but instead, it was overwhelming.

According to the rules, they couldn't let the traps hit them, or they'd fail.

Who could avoid all of this? Even a cat with nine lives wouldn't survive this.

Only a ghost could manage.

As they watched Fang Zichong, bruised and battered, everyone took a step back, horrified.

This wasn't training; it was just torturing!

Terrifying. Too terrifying.

Zhouzhou was stunned.

When Xi Mo had mentioned difficulty earlier, she hadn't fully understood.

Now, she finally started to get a sense of what he meant.

But no—she didn't understand at all!

She stared at Fang Zichong, furrowing her brows, suddenly remembering something. She took two steps back and looked at him warily. "You're not doing this on purpose, are you? Trying to scam me?"

"I'm telling you, this is the trap Mr. Commander asked me to design. You agreed to it, so don't blame me if you get hurt. I'm not covering the medical bills! The most I'll do is give you some ointment."

She looked over at Army Commander. "Mr. Commander, please back me up here."

She eyed them nervously, clearly afraid they were in cahoots.

Seeing her expression, Commander couldn't help but twitch his lips, somewhat speechless.

Did she really think he was that kind of person?

Well, she was wrong. Even if Ye Lingfeng were here, she'd still say the same thing.

She was simply stingy.

Seeing the girl's tense expression, ready to run at any moment, Commander sighed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to scam you. I asked you to train them. Not only will I not scam you, but I'll also make them pay your tuition fees."

Now, that sounded better.

Zhouzhou finally relaxed a little, though she wasn't fully at ease. "We should sign a contract first!"

It had to be in black and white.

Who could trust anyone these days?

She looked like she was ready to walk away unless they signed, making Army Commander's forehead twitch.

Forget it. He couldn't handle this little troublemaker. It was probably better to let her wreak havoc on Zhao Xinghua in the Fourth Bureau.

He made a call, and soon, Xi Mo arrived with the contract.

After glancing at Fang Zichong, he quickly understood what had happened.

It was the expected outcome.

After Zhouzhou signed the contract and put her fingerprint on it, she finally relaxed.

She was terrified—she thought she was going to lose money.

She looked at Xi Mo, a little helpless. "Uncle, I thought you were just joking about how hard it was earlier. Now I see you were serious."

"You guys are the worst group I've ever trained!"
