Do not look at the flags in Zhang Shaohua and Ouyang Feng's hands; they may seem numerous.
If someone else had made the same choice to steal from others, Zhang Shaohua and the two would be at a disadvantage.
However, Zhang Shaohua wanted more than just to pass the training.
He aimed for the top!
Therefore, he could not slack off!
After hearing Zhang Shaohua's words, Ouyang Feng suddenly understood and nodded vigorously, his dog-like grin agreeing, "Young Master Zhang's planning is indeed meticulous!"
Zhang Shaohua remained silent, only exhaling a puff of white air from his nostrils with a hum as a response.
Ouyang Feng, clearly accustomed to Zhang Shaohua's demeanor, did not take offense.
The two waited furtively at the second location for a while.
Upon confirming that the small team before them was sound asleep,
They crept forward on tiptoe and snatched the flags from their hands!
After taking them, just as before, they sprinted away.
However, whether it was because this unlucky pair had slow legs or because they slept too soundly and didn't notice,
In any case, Zhang Shaohua and Ouyang Feng had already run for several hundred meters before anyone pursued them!
They had stolen twice in a row.
Now, Zhang Shaohua's backpack was bulging.
Even the backpack he was carrying was full!
The two squatted under a tree, counting the number of small flags in their hands by the moonlight.
This morning, Zhang Shaohua and Ouyang Feng had found ten small flags themselves.
Then, they had snatched fourteen from the first unlucky group.
And now, they had taken another eighteen.
In total, they had forty-two!
Looking at the number of flags in their pockets, Ouyang Feng couldn't stop smiling.
He greatly praised Zhang Shaohua's decision!
If they had to find so many flags by themselves, how long would it take?
But by stealing from others, they had acquired so many in almost one night!
Zhang Shaohua was not surprised by the outcome.
He took a sip of water, tucked the bottle into his bag, and said, "Let's rest for a bit. We need to continue later!"
"Tonight is destined to be a night without rest!"
Ouyang Feng originally wanted to say that they didn't need so many flags.
But he remembered that Zhang Shaohua's goal was to be first.
So, he dared not speak.
At this moment, in the observation room,
The elders who had been puzzled by Zhang Shaohua's actions during the day were now dumbfounded!
Especially a few middle-aged men, who watched their young master's flags being stolen by Zhang Shaohua in the middle of the night, were so angry their mustaches bristled.
They wished they could rush out of the observation room and confront Zhang Shaohua!
Fortunately, Lin Weidong was present, otherwise, the two elders from the Zhang family would have certainly been beaten.
"Elder Lin, isn't Zhang Shaohua's action already a violation of the rules?"
Elder Zhang said indignantly.
Others also condemned him, demanding that Zhang Shaohua be dealt with.
After all, everyone else had worked hard to find their own flags, while Zhang Shaohua stayed up late at night to steal others' success!
He was more detestable than a thief!
It was worth noting that the teams whose flags were stolen might not pass tomorrow!
Facing the crowd's questioning, Lin Weidong remained calm and collected, not even bothering to placate them.
He directly told everyone, "Whether it is stolen or snatched from others, it is permitted by the rules."
Lin Weidong had already considered this when designing the rules.
However, snatching flags from others did not guarantee good results!
This was something Lin Weidong did not disclose to them.
Upon hearing this, the family elders present became furious.
Some dared not speak out but could only glare resentfully at the screen and curse fiercely.
"The rules formulated by your Dragon Group are truly immoral!"
This new student training was for cultivating formal members of the Dragon Group.
What if selfish individuals were nurtured?
Wasn't this one project clearly telling the new students that as long as they exploited loopholes in the rules, they could even steal from others and gain ill-gotten wealth?
It was simply perverse!
Lin Weidong smiled, offering no explanation.
When he set the rules, he had already written down the scoring criteria.
Zhang Shaohua, thinking he was clever, did not realize he would eventually fall into a trap!
The whole room was either ecstatic or indignant.
Only Zhou Yu noticed Lin Weidong's unusual expression and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
It seemed Lin Weidong had something malicious brewing in his mind!
Things were definitely not as simple as they appeared.
At the very least, Zhang Shaohua's act of snatching flags would not end well!
However, Zhou Yu had no ties with the others in the observation group.
In fact, some of them had provoked Zhou Yu before.
Even if he guessed it, he saw no need to explain it to this group.
Let them worry for a while!
On the island.
The Zhang Shaohua duo, after successfully stealing twice, had become somewhat addicted.
They wanted to plunder more!
This feeling of gaining without effort could be addictive.
However.
The two teams whose flags had been stolen earlier, for some unknown reason,
Instead of following suit and stealing from others,
They went around notifying everyone that someone was stealing flags!
As a result, when Zhang Shaohua and Ouyang Feng went to several places, they found that everyone was awake.
They were tightly guarding the flags in their arms.
It seemed they had received the news long ago!
Many even gathered together, forming alliances to prevent their flags from being stolen.
The first two teams that had notified others were also given some flags by others to prevent them from failing.
Seeing this.
Zhang Shaohua and Ouyang Feng had to retreat.
Although their strength was good, they couldn't possibly force their way through such a large group of new students, right?
They simply couldn't win!
"They've formed an alliance!" Ouyang Feng said with some annoyance.
He cursed inwardly at the two teams they had stolen from, calling them crazy!
Why did they have to go and notify others?
Even if their flags were stolen, they could have just followed suit and stolen from others.
This way, with more flags in hand, even if they couldn't get first place, they could follow behind Zhang Shaohua and get second place.
Now, they could barely pass!
"Such spiteful and unhelpful people," Zhang Shaohua said, his face grim, clearly showing his displeasure!
Ouyang Feng immediately said, "How about I draw them away, and then Young Master Zhang can steal their backpacks?"
Now that these people were gathered together.
As long as a majority of them could be lured away, it would be beneficial for the Zhang Shaohua duo.
They wouldn't have to search from place to place.
They could just take them all at once!
How much easier would that be!
Zhang Shaohua pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused.
"Forget it. The two we've already stolen are enough."
"Currently, there doesn't seem to be another team that has discovered the loophole in the rules. As long as the number of flags we have remains unchanged, we'll surely get first place!"
