Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1537 - 739
Previously on Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups...
In the room, the atmosphere was somewhat cold.
Cheng Leyi stared intently into Fang Cheng’s eyes, trying to find a clue.
But those deep eyes held nothing but confusion and curiosity.
She had to look away, shaking her head:
"It’s nothing, just asking casually. Our team dealt with a case there back then, so it’s still fresh in my memory."
Listening to Cheng Leyi’s explanation, Fang Cheng nodded slightly and said nothing further.
He then turned around and patted Lin Xuhao’s shoulder:
"Alright, Brother Hao, try getting up and moving around."
"Ah, so soon?"
Lin Xuhao sprang from the bed as if pardoned.
Standing on the ground, he first twisted his neck, then swung his left arm widely.
A series of crisp "crack" sounds came from his shoulder joint.
"Whew—"
Lin Xuhao exhaled deeply, his face filled with delight:
"Awesome! So awesome! Brother Fang, your hands are practically immortal hands. My left side feels as light as a feather now, with no soreness at all!"
While exercising his muscles and bones, he flexed his biceps, showing off his recovery to Cheng Leyi:
"Look, Leyi! I told you I had a good foundation, and with Brother Fang’s medical skill, I could fight a dinosaur now without issue!"
Fang Cheng walked to the sink, turned on the tap, and carefully washed his hands, then casually grabbed two paper towels to dry them.
"Alright, stop showing off. Hurry and get dressed."
Cheng Leyi rolled her eyes at him with disdain.
Lin Xuhao quickly put on his hospital clothes and warmly pulled over a chair, insisting Fang Cheng sit down and rest:
"Brother Fang, thank you for your hard work today. Come, sit down and have a cup of tea before you leave."
"Leyi just bought this tea for me, try the taste."
As he spoke, he took a jar of Longjing tea from the drawer and opened the seal.
He then quickly walked to the water dispenser, skillfully brewed a cup of green tea, and presented it to Fang Cheng.
Seeing him so courteous, Fang Cheng did not refuse, thanked him, and accepted the cup.
Lin Xuhao sat back on the edge of the bed, feeling relaxed, his tone carrying some relief:
"Honestly, it’s lucky the recovery was fast, or I’d truly regret it for life this time.
"Once I’m observed for a few more days and do a full physical checkup to confirm no issues, I’ll immediately apply to return to the team."
Cheng Leyi, hearing this, furrowed her brow slightly:
"Why are you in such a hurry? Healing bones and muscles takes a hundred days, you’ve barely been half a month, even if you return, they won’t immediately send you to the front line."
"How can that be!"
Lin Xuhao raised his voice, his eyes wide as he spoke:
"The West Mountain action is about to start; it’s going to the Otherworld! The Special Search Team has been established for decades, actions of this scale can be counted on two hands."
"I heard this time they’ll select elites for intensive training. Being selected means not only witnessing the real Otherworld firsthand, but also having a share of the merit when you return. How could I, Lin Xuhao, miss such a chance?"
Fang Cheng’s hand holding the paper cup paused slightly.
West Mountain action? Otherworld?
These two terms instantly caught his attention, involuntarily reminded him of certain events in the West Mountain Examination Site.
He blew on the floating leaves on the tea’s surface, took a small sip, and casually chimed in:
"Otherworld? Sounds like a sci-fi movie. Brother Hao, does your job cover alien planets?"
"Haha, Brother Fang, you don’t understand."
Lin Xuhao was a typical straightforward character, combined with his good mood now, he readily continued:
"There’s a lot of secrets ordinary people never touch, and that Otherworld overlaps with our own as another space. It’s deadly dangerous, full of monsters, yet resources are shockingly abundant, even including Heavenly Treasures not found on Earth."
"This time I heard they discovered a large rift deep in the West Mountain, with a space channel unusually stable, capable of accommodating large forces inside, so..."
"Cough cough!"
Two sharp coughs suddenly sounded.
Cheng Leyi stood beside him, her eyes stern, cutting off Lin Xuhao’s speech.
Lin Xuhao shivered, suddenly realizing he’d slipped up.
He awkwardly scratched his short hair, let out two dry laughs:
"Well... that’s generally the situation. Overall, it’s a rare mission opportunity."
Although Fang Cheng was nominally an insider, the sanatorium belonged to the logistics support system.
The Special Search Team had strict confidentiality rules, tasks were isolated between different departments and levels.
The West Mountain action was still in the confidential stage, definitely not suitable to reveal specific details to peripheral medical staff.
Unless his department was also tasked to participate, knowing less about the core secrets is best.
Fang Cheng naturally understood the meaning of Cheng Leyi’s cough.
He didn’t continue questioning, simply smiled understandingly:
"Sounds very risky, Brother Hao, you should focus on recovering first. Since it’s such a dangerous place, every bit of physical strength is extra assurance."
"Right, right, Brother Fang is correct."
Lin Xuhao nodded repeatedly, going along with it.
The three chatted briefly about trivial matters.
Mostly Lin Xuhao spoke, with Fang Cheng occasionally chiming in.
Cheng Leyi quietly listened from the side, her gaze occasionally wandering to Fang Cheng.
