Miao Yueqian's suspicions were quickly confirmed because Xiao Feng's method of selecting people was unlike any coach she had ever seen.

Other coaches usually look at the performance and past competition data of individuals first, but Xiao Feng completely discarded these paper-based criteria, not even glancing at them.

For example, when selecting participants for shooting events, Xiao Feng directly stated, "Priority is given to those who have hunted in the mountains."

This left everyone speechless. In this day and age, where are there any wild animals left in the mountains? Unless it's in those truly remote areas, you rarely see any wildlife even in the suburbs.

Besides, hunting is risky. If you accidentally shoot an animal that's protected by the country, you're in real trouble. Moreover, if you use a hunting rifle, it adds more charges like unauthorized assembly of firearms and illegal possession of firearms.

So overall, modern people rarely go hunting in the mountains.

Unexpectedly, someone actually stood up and said, "I once went into the mountains in my hometown, but I used a bow and arrow instead of a gun."

"You're the one!" Xiao Feng quickly decided, giving the impression of a very hasty decision.

In fact, the level of those selected was approximately the same, with not much difference, so it didn't matter who was chosen. The next step was targeted training anyway.

"Next is camouflage and concealment," Xiao Feng said, smiling at the team members. "Anyone with any experience living in seclusion? We give that priority."

This time, no one raised their hand. Everyone was young and vibrant; who would randomly live in seclusion?

They couldn't go a day without their phones, let alone living in seclusion!

Seeing no one raise their hand, Xiao Feng had to settle for the next best option: "Homebodies are okay too, preferably those who can sleep a lot."

A bespectacled, slightly chubby person raised his hand and said, "I can do it, as long as I'm well-fed, I can sleep all day without a problem."

Xiao Feng decided, "That works. We'll let you sleep plenty when the time comes!"

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned and asked, "Wait, you don't snore when you sleep, right?"

This was something that had to be considered. In Xiao Feng's mind, if during a competition, the enemy couldn't find you but managed to locate you by your snoring, that would be a huge embarrassment.

"Uh... I don't know," the bespectacled team member said awkwardly. "I live alone, so I really don't know if I snore."

The other team members couldn't hold back their laughter. This was when the plight of being single showed, not even knowing if you snore.

"Record your sleep with your phone at night. If you don't snore, the camouflage and concealment part is yours. If you do, we'll have to replace you," Xiao Feng said.

With that, Xiao Feng continued to come up with various requirements and finally finished allocating the personnel.

It was then that everyone realized Xiao Feng wasn't joking but was reasonably dividing the personnel based on the specific needs of the competition events.

For example, camouflage and concealment require someone who can endure loneliness, right?

If the person in hiding keeps fidgeting, what's the point of hiding? You need someone who can withstand boredom. Although none of them had experience living secluded lives, if they just slept, wouldn't they be immune to boredom?

"Xiao might truly be a remarkable person!" Wang Lubo said with some admiration.

Miao Yueqian glanced at him, "If you were half as capable as him, I wouldn't have to... "

"Wouldn't have to what?" Wang Lubo asked eagerly.

"Huh, what's the use of saying it?" Miao Yueqian crossed her arms, said irritably, "Anyway, you'll never catch up to him."

Wang Lubo suddenly got excited, "That's not necessarily true, Qianqian, just you wait!"

Miao Yueqian was slightly confused. What do you mean 'wait and see'? Are you planning to show off or something?

Then she saw Wang Lubo trot over and pull Xiao Feng aside, talking about something...

After making sure no one else was around, Wang Lubo stretched out his hands, looking like he was about to grab Xiao Feng's hands.

Xiao Feng, already disgusted by him once, naturally didn't want a second time. He swiftly dodged and said sternly, "I'm warning you, just talk properly. If you try to shake my hand again, I'll make sure you can never shake anyone's hand ever again."

Wang Lubo wasn't angry; instead, he sheepishly withdrew his hands and put on a flattering smile, "Boss, accept me as your disciple!"

Seeing that scrunched-up face, Xiao Feng was a bit creeped out, "Can you make your expression more normal? What exactly do you want?"

"Uh... I just want to learn from you," Wang Lubo said, rubbing his hands, looking a bit embarrassed. "Don't be fooled by my chubby appearance; I can still handle tasks like making tea and running errands without a problem."

Xiao Feng felt something was off and, after some thought, asked, "Did Miao Yueqian send you?"

"No." Wang Lubo shook his head. "Qianqian said she wished I could be half as capable as you, so naturally, I have to work in the direction she hopes for."

"You really are a man of deep feelings," Xiao Feng said with a bit of amusement.

It was evident that Wang Lubo was really invested in Miao Yueqian. Wang Lubo wasn't short of money and could easily find someone prettier than Miao Yueqian, but he persisted.

Just for this determination alone, it was enough to be touching.

Of course, feelings can't be forced just by persistent behavior. If someone's not interested, they're not interested. Even though Miao Yueqian seemed to always give Wang Lubo the cold shoulder, Xiao Feng felt that she must have some feelings for him, though he wasn't sure if it was the romantic kind.

"Xiao-brother, oh no, Feng-ge," Wang Lubo said somewhat wistfully. "Perhaps you see me being overly nice to Qianqian, but you haven't seen how kind she is to me."

Wang Lubo's gaze became distant, "When I was in school, I was often mocked by classmates for my size and bullied in the alley after school. At that time, Qianqian rushed over and single-handedly knocked down five or six boys from our class. At that moment, I thought that I wanted to hide behind her for the rest of my life..."

Xiao Feng was momentarily stunned, what kind of logic is that?!

"Wait a minute," Xiao Feng interrupted. "Your logic here is flawed."

"What's flawed?" Wang Lubo asked earnestly, then called his bodyguard, "Go get some paper and a pen."

The bodyguard brought over the paper and pen, and after waving him away, Wang Lubo prepared to take notes. "Go on, Feng-ge."

Xiao Feng took a deep breath and said, "With normal people's thinking, shouldn't you aim not to be bullied anymore or perhaps hope to protect her one day instead?"

Wang Lubo thought for a moment and replied earnestly, "But that's exactly what I thought back then, that if Qianqian could protect me for a lifetime, wouldn't that be great?"

"Get lost!" Xiao Feng said, feeling exasperated and thinking there was no way to communicate with Wang Lubo—he's just an oddball.

While being a 'kept man' isn't all that uncommon nowadays, it depends on whether the other party is willing to support you.

Besides, even being a 'kept man' requires certain qualities, and with Wang Lubo's image... never mind, there's not much to say.

In conclusion, following Wang Lubo's thinking, if he wants to pursue Miao Yueqian, then it would take a miracle, like the sun rising in the west.

"Come on, Feng-ge!" Wang Lubo quickly stopped Xiao Feng. "Qianqian told me to learn from you, and I haven't learned anything yet."

Xiao Feng felt a bit of a headache and earnestly advised, "Bozai, let me give you some advice. If you can't change your way of thinking, it's best to give up. Otherwise, the best you can hope for with Miao Yueqian is to remain ordinary friends."

Wang Lubo became anxious upon hearing this, "Feng-ge, detail it for me. I sometimes have a slow mind."

Xiao Feng was stunned; it was the first time he had met someone so upfront about saying their mind didn't work well.
