Before, when Ouyang Feng teamed up with Zhang Shaohua, he was solely focused on being first.
However, after Zhang Shaohua's several questionable moves, Ouyang Feng felt that merely passing would be a great blessing.
Now, he just wanted to successfully get through this new recruit training, daring not to think of anything else!
Zhang Shaohua naturally noticed Ouyang Feng's expression.
Instantly, Zhang Shaohua felt dissatisfied.
It was Ouyang Feng himself who had wanted to team up with him initially.
What did Ouyang Feng mean now?
Was he looking down on him for being useless?
Zhang Shaohua hadn't even complained about Ouyang Feng yet!
After all, during this training, if Zhang Shaohua hadn't reacted quickly enough to neutralize the kidnappers posing as hostages, they might not have even passed!
And Ouyang Feng, this good-for-nothing, had failed to notice that the hostages were fakes and had been eliminated directly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shaohua decided that when an opportune moment arose, he would definitely kick out Ouyang Feng, who was biting the hand that fed him.
He had relied on himself to obtain the training content and information, yet showed no gratitude!
Ouyang Feng was unaware that Zhang Shaohua's feelings had also shifted. He was still contemplating how to prevent Zhang Shaohua from pulling off any more stunts in the upcoming training.
Lost in thought, he naturally became absent-minded.
After the rankings were announced,
Lin Weidong immediately retrieved the surveillance footage from the training and played it publicly.
Those who wished to stay and receive guidance were welcome to do so.
Those who didn't could return to rest.
It was a joke; Lin Weidong was personally giving instructions. Regardless of their inner thoughts, did anyone dare to openly say they didn't want to listen?
Everyone had to obediently stay, not daring to utter an extra word.
Undeniably, Lin Weidong's judgment was sharp.
He clearly articulated the psychological state of each individual during the training mission.
Praise was given where it was due, and issues were addressed.
In a short while, most of the new recruits had learned their lessons.
When it came to Zhang Shaohua's group, Lin Weidong paused deliberately, looking at Zhang Shaohua a couple of times.
Then he spoke.
"The problems in your group, I believe you yourselves are clear about them, aren't you?"
"You always have a great sense of pride. While I don't know where this pride stems from, it's not a good thing!"
"Although this is just an exercise for now, once you become official members of the Dragon Group, you will be sent out on missions. If you still carry this attitude, you will surely fail sooner or later!"
Lin Weidong's words were very serious.
The stricter the new recruit training, the more it served as protection for these individuals.
Sweating on the training ground was better than bleeding on a mission!
For the Dragon Group, even if a mission wasn't completed, the losses weren't significant.
But for these new recruits, they only had one life!
With an arrogant and complacent mindset, nothing would be done well.
Zhang Shaohua and Ouyang Feng both knew the source of their arrogance.
It was because they had obtained partial information about this training mission in advance and remembered the map of the mission location.
Thus, they believed completing the mission would be very easy.
They just hadn't expected that Lin Weidong would temporarily change the mission rules, rendering all their prior information obsolete!
Now, Zhang Shaohua began to suspect.
Could it be that Lin Weidong had known about the information leak all along, and that was why he had made the change?
Zhang Shaohua subtly observed Lin Weidong but could discern nothing.
Lin Weidong's expression was as steady as a rock, revealing no hints to anyone.
After critiquing Zhang Shaohua's group, Lin Weidong continued to instruct the other teams.
Even Da Xiong's group, which took first place, wasn't flawless.
After all, Da Xiong was human, not a god.
Many details in this group were not well-prepared.
Da Xiong's quick thinking and resourcefulness were more akin to sheer luck that allowed him to succeed.
If it were to happen again, the outcome might not be the same!
"Elder Lin, we have understood. We will definitely strengthen our training in the future," Da Xiong said sincerely.
Lin Weidong nodded with satisfaction, his gaze full of approval as he looked at Da Xiong.
This young man possessed not only talent but also a humble attitude.
If his family agreed, and he officially joined the Dragon Group in the future, he could become a formidable asset!
Of course, this was all under the premise that his family consented.
The Dragon Group yearned for talent, but it was not willing to fall out with the major first-tier families for the sake of talent.
After all, the Dragon Group was not particularly powerful at present.
It still needed to ally with the forces of these first-tier families to counter super-first-tier or even more powerful families and maintain balance.
"Alright, that concludes today's summary."
"Since everyone is willing to stay, I hope you have truly taken my words to heart."
"You are dismissed."
Lin Weidong waved his hand.
Most people present had just returned from the mission location.
Only Da Xiong's team, having completed the mission earlier, had rested for a while.
The others had little opportunity to catch their breath.
They were likely extremely exhausted.
If they were kept any longer, they would likely feel uncomfortable!
Lin Weidong decided against wasting more words, letting them rest first and discussing other matters when there was time.
The people present gradually departed.
However, Da Xiong did not leave.
After the conference room was empty, Da Xiong hesitantly approached Lin Weidong.
"What is it?" Lin Weidong asked with a smile.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Da Xiong's face.
He scratched his head and said to Lin Weidong, "Elder Lin, I have already sought my family's opinion regarding joining the Dragon Group."
"My father said that if I can achieve good results in the training camp, he won't object."
Lin Weidong nodded slightly.
Lin Weidong was not too surprised by this outcome.
He had a general understanding of the Yang family's situation.
It was evident that Yang Fu's decision was driven by his deep affection for his son.
After all, who would want their child to be tied to a gloomy, precarious future, working for ungrateful people all their lives?
If he joined the Dragon Group, Da Xiong could forge his own path!
"Very good, then you must continue to work hard."
"I am very much looking forward to you joining."
Lin Weidong patted Da Xiong's shoulder, his gaze of admiration making Da Xiong almost unable to look up.
"Then I'll be going back now. Elder Lin, wait for my good news!" Da Xiong said immediately.
After Da Xiong left, Lin Weidong's gaze remained fixed on Da Xiong's retreating figure for a long time, unable to snap back.
A moment later, Lin Weidong turned his head and asked Zhou Yu, "What do you think of Da Xiong?"
Zhou Yu had stood beside Lin Weidong the entire time, observing the scene unfolding before them.
Hearing this question, Zhou Yu was taken aback.
