Chapter 16: The Other World Version Special Forces Obstacle Course

Liu Feng smiled and looked at the crowd. They had tattered clothes and most of them wore straw sandals. Many of them ate a meal and starved a meal. Now there was a roasted pig in front of them. This was a temptation from the eyes.

Couldnt they see the five Niu brothers also secretly swallowing their saliva? Even though their family didnt lack meat to eat, a roasted pig with seasoning was whats really tempting.

The people of this era had a hard time to even eat full, let alone adding processed seasonings. Meat was just roasted for a bit and added some salt. There were also people who just boiled meat and then added a bit of salt.

Even nobles wouldnt be able to eat exquisite delicacies. The biggest difference was just a somewhat better cooking method than th commoners. Otherwise May wouldnt get addicted to the kitchen, even Nicole fell in love with making cakes and stuff.

In two days time, Mina was completely immersed in the sea of delicacies. She could be seen eating food every day. It made her sigh. Lord Liu Fengs place was the real life of nobles, it was even better than the life of a prince.

The fragrance of the meat was became more and more intense. Under the blowing of the wind, the people swallowed continuously. It reached the peak when Nicole lead a team of maids carrying bowls of noodles.

They were large bowls of noodles. The noodles were made of wheat that were crushed into powder. May cut large pieces of pork and put it on top of the bowls and added a few wild vegetables. The other world version of roasted pork noodles was complete.

In this era, there were no such thing as grinding wheat with millstones. The people here all really on rocks to slowly ground wheat powder. Not only was it extremely crude, it was also extremely hard to digest.

When Mina took a bowl of roasted pork noodles and started to eat, the people went crazy. It was the food of nobles, food that they had never eaten in their entire lives.

"Lord City Lord, please start the trial right away!"

"Yes yes, quickly start, we can definitely pass the trial."

Liu Feng nodded to Niu Ben. The temptation was now strong enough, and it was time to start.

"Impossible!" Niu Ben's eyes widened, he didn't believe anyone could do it in one minute.

"There is nothing impossible. This is the military training method in my hometown. Soldiers who can complete the full course in one minute are strong soldiers. They are one in a hundred." Liu Feng said lightly.

This was a simplified version. The rolling wasn't even in quagmire. There wasn't even stone pieces or mud added to the crawling. Fire wasn't added to the hole drilling. The hole drilling also didn't had iron spikes on the surroundings.

If Liu Feng took these things out, then probably no one would be able to complete the whole course. Even if it was the Niu brothers, it would be really hard for them.

"This..." Niu Ben swallowed his words. He yearned for the hometown that Liu Feng talked about. After all, many rare things came from Liu Feng's hometown, such as those delicacies, white papers, and weapons.

He had previously stayed in the capital of a kingdom, and had never seen these. As such, Niu Ben wouldn't doubt what Liu Feng said. He decided to give his five sons extra training. If they couldn't finish the course in one minute, they wouldn't be given food to eat.

The Niu brothers didn't realized that they were remembered by Niu Ben. They were currently looking at the people going through the obstacle courses with their faces full of smiles.

Not really sure what it's called, so I just put the literal translation. If you know what it is please let me know.

. Pour cold water. It's an idiom. Basically someone's "on fire" and is very complacent, and someone "pours water" to "put out the fire".

So cruel.

. Remember, missed, or worried. I know it sounds weird, but I couldn't find a better way to word it. The remember here is the kind where like Person A does something bad to Person B that makes Person B hate Person A, and Person B tells Person A "I will remember you." That kind of remember, just that in this case it's not hate.

Or is it laughter? I'm not sure, but smile seems a better fit.

Translator Note: Sorry, my computer is a Chromebook and I accidentally double tapped the power button when I meant to press backspace. The computer turned off and I didn't save the parts that I've translated, which means that I had to start over, which means that you guys would have to wait a few more days before I can upload an extra chapter since I missed a day a few days ago. Sorry.
