Chapter 450: Are They Lining Up To Embarrass Themselves?

However, for some reason, Instructor Liu felt much more relieved. ‘As expected, there’s only 1 genius. Why the f*ck would I have to teach them if they were all geniuses?’

Driving away the crazy thoughts in his mind, Instructor Liu roared, “Fire up the tank!”

Tan Da answered loudly, “Yes sir!”

Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly thought of something and raised his hand. “Sir! I wasn’t able to remember that many procedures, sir!”

Instructor Liu replied, “It’s fine! Do as much as you can remember! I won’t blame you for missing out some procedures!”

“Yes sir!” Tan Da shouted again and felt much more relaxed.

Actually, after a morning of learning and Su Yang’s demonstration, he felt that it was very simple to operate the tank. However, there were too many procedures and he could not remember all of them.

Initially, he was afraid that he would not be as perfect as Su Yang if Instructor Liu had instructed for him to follow the standard procedure. However, now that Instructor Liu had told him to do as much as he could remember, he was relieved.

On the other hand, when the other actors heard their conversation, they felt much more relieved. They shared the same thoughts as Tan Da. ‘I wouldn’t be able to remember everything that Su Yang did. After all, I haven’t got such a good memory and didn’t listen to the lesson seriously just now, the same goes with most of us.

‘But… I supposed it wouldn’t be a problem to just do it briefly.’

Furthermore, when they thought about it, they realized that it made sense. Instructor Liu had only given them a general explanation instead of a detailed one. They were all actors, not real tank soldiers, hence they would be fine as long as they knew the procedures. After all, they would not actually be filming them how to actually drive a tank.

Therefore, with Instructor Liu’s approval, Tan Da began to start up the tank based on his memory.

He first shook the fuel pump. Then, after some thought, he turned on the pressure cylinder on his left side and checked the pressure.

After checking the air pressure, Tan Da connected the main power switch and initiated the tank.

At that point, most of the procedures to activate the tank were done. There was only one procedure left, step on the accelerator.

Tan Da, who felt that his completion percentage was quite high, was naturally extremely confident in this step.

‘After all, I’m an experienced driver and have been driving for many years, often stepping on the accelerator. So, how hard can this be?’

With that thought in mind, Tan Da confidently stepped on the accelerator! Then… there was only a screeching sound… But the tank was not moving.

At that moment, Tan Da was stunned. ‘Did I not have enough to eat during lunch? Why isn’t the tank moving?!’

His movements were carried out under the watchful eyes of the crowd. When his foot landed, everyone could clearly see that the pedal was only slightly lowered.

The training room instantly fell silent. The way they looked at Tan Da was extremely strange.

Sensing the crowd’s gaze, Tan Da’s face turned red. He felt like his reputation was about to be ruined!

Unwilling to give up, he stomped on the accelerator with all his might. With a screech, the accelerator went down halfway, but perhaps because he didn’t continue to push, it slowly bounced his foot back.

The atmosphere became even more awkward…

This time, without Instructor Liu’s guidance, the surrounding actors started to whisper among themselves.

“Did Tan Da not have enough to eat just now? Why isn’t he able to even step on the accelerator?”

“I don’t know, could the accelerator be very stiff? Could it be a chore to step it in?”

“I don’t think so, Mr. Su seemed so relaxed just now.”

“Yeah, I saw him being very relaxed as well.”

“Then, it should be Tan Da’s problem, shouldn’t it?”

Su Yang had successfully led this group of newbie tank drivers astray and made himself look like a fine example!

Meanwhile, Tan Da wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it. All he wanted to do was shout at the instructor from inside the hole and say “You call this a f*cking accelerator?! This is a rock, isn’t it?!”

He wanted to shout at the actors who were “looking at him weirdly” and say, “Don’t be fooled! This is super tight, it’s super stiff!”

However, no one gave him a chance to speak. Instructor Liu’s face revealed a barely noticeable smile before he shouted, “Alright, you’ve fired it up! Now! Turn to your left! Pull the left joystick!”

Hearing that Instructor Liu had given him a way out, Tan Da finally heaved a sigh of relief. ‘I’m free! I don’t have to step on the pedal that’s as hard as a rock anymore!

‘As for the joystick… that would be these 2 sticks standing upright in front of me. I can see the top and the bottom of it, so It should be very simple… shouldn’t it?’

He answered loudly, “Sir, yes sir!”

Then, he pulled the joystick with his left hand and tried to push it down.

After pulling it, Tan Da realized… He could not pull it down!

‘Holy sh*t! Why is this so heavy as well? Has this been filled with lead?’

Thankfully, the joystick was longer, making it easier to operate, so Tan Da was still able to pull down on the joystick after using 70% of his strength.

But… His forehead was beginning to be covered with fine drops of sweat.

He raised his head proudly, expecting to receive a wave of admiring gazes, but then he saw the actors whispering to each other again.

As he listened carefully, he was so shocked that he almost jumped…

“Is Tan Da a very weak person? Why does he need to use so much strength just to pull down the joystick?”

“I don’t know. He wasn’t able to step on the accelerator earlier, and now he’s pulling the joystick with so much strength.”

“Look, he’s even sweating.”

“How is he going to act as a soldier like that?”

After hearing those words, Tan Da felt like he was going to lose it! He really wanted to shout, “If you guys think you’re so f*cking great, try it yourself! Go on!”

However, Instructor Liu did not give him a chance to react. He shouted again, “Switch gears!”

Tan Da quivered and immediately shouted, “Sir, yes sir!”

He couldn’t care less about expressing his thoughts as he grabbed the clutch with his right hand and pushed it upward. However, just as before, the clutch was actually much more heavier than it looked, despite it looking simple.

Furthermore, there seemed to be some mechanical gears underneath. Even though the clutch was pushed, there were only 2 clicks before the clutch dropped back again.

The sweat on Tan Da’s face was getting more and more. He pushed the clutch 3 times before he could finally get it in gear.

When he was done, he did not dare look up to see the other actors’ expressions. He knew that they must be definitely be suspecting if he had even driven a car before since he did not even know how to switch gears…

But… how could they possibly imagine how difficult it actually was without actually experiencing it themselves!

Tan Da could not help but hesitate. ‘Could this be… How difficult it is to drive an actual tank?

‘These controls which are so simple to operate in a car, are actually very hard to operate in a tank?’

Tan Da stopped underestimating Wu Feng. ‘Director Wu Feng is absolutely right to let us experience this personally. If we didn’t get to experience this today, we couldn’t possibly have known that driving a tank actually required so much strength. Without this experience, we definitely wouldn’t be able to act realistically when the time comes.’

At the thought of this, Tan Da suddenly thought of Su Yang, who had done all those before him. ‘How did he manage to operate it so fluidly?

‘Doesn’t he feel the weight of these controls?

‘Or is he Hercules?

‘But… These controls don’t seem to be something that can be overcomed with great strength. For example, the clutch, there’s no way someone can just switch gears with strength alone!

‘This guy is too awesome…’

At the thought of this, Tan Da looked at Su Yang, his eyes filled with surprise and admiration…

Perhaps noticing the change in Tan Da’s mentality, Instructor Liu nodded in satisfaction and said, “You can come out now.”

Tan Da lowered his head and answered, “Yes sir!” Then, he climbed out of the cockpit.

Instructor Liu looked around at the actors who were whispering. The actors looked at Tan Da with slight contempt, but they were still curious and relaxed about the tank simulator.

Instructor Liu did not say anything. Instead, he pointed and said, “Alright! Anyone else wants to try!”

Because Instructor Liu did not mention anyone, the group of actors felt a little embarrassed at first. They looked at each other, only to see everyone’s eyes were trying to coax one another to muster up the courage to give it a go.

Very soon, someone stood up. He came to Instructor Liu and stood at attention after stamping his foot. He said to Instructor Liu, “Sir! Wang Peng reporting in for dury! I would like to try it out with your permission, sir!”

Instructor Liu waved his hand. “Get in the tank!”

Wang Peng: “Sir, yes sir!”

Seeing the curiosity and eagerness in Wang Peng’s eyes, Su Yang shook his head. ‘Another lamb to the slaughter.’

Just as he expected, Wang Peng did not learn from Tan Da’s lesson. Instead, he hit the accelerator, but it would not go down.

Then, he pulled the joystick twice more to embarrass himself.

However, as he was changing gears, Wang Peng seemed to have lucked out and managed to push the clutch in on his first try.

Even so, when he got out of the cockpit, his face was filled with shock and disbelief. ‘How could driving a tank be this difficult ?!

‘Then… how did Su Yang drive it just now?

‘How was he able to operate so leisurely?

‘Perhaps it was because of Su Yang’s “demonstration” that all of us thought that it was very easy to drive a tank.

‘Therefore, when it came to the real thing, everyone found it hard to believe that driving a tank would actually be so difficult. That’s why Tan Da and myself ended up in such a tragedy.’

However, they weren’t the only 2 who were in disbelief. After seeing the both of them making a fool out of themselves, more people started to get curious.

Again, it was because Su Yang had left them with such a deep impression, causing them to think that it was Wang Peng and Tan Da who were not good enough instead of Su Yang being the outstanding one. ‘After all… I’ve gone through the same training as he did this morning, so why should I be worse than him?

‘Even if there was a difference, it couldn’t be that obvious, could it?’

Because of this thought, the actors were even more eager to try the tank simulator.

Su Yang watched on coldly. ‘I have the [Bronze Ability: Tank Driving Ability] but you guys don’t. How naive.’

However, Su Yang understood that their passion had not subsided yet, hence no one would be able to stop them.

Wang Peng and Tan Da looked at them with complicated expressions.

When both of them saw the others, they seemed to have been able to see an image of themselves in them. ‘We were like this as well just now… Arrogant and cocky. In the end, my face is still hurting until now.’

When Instructor Liu saw this, a smile slowly appeared on his cold face as though his “evil plan” had finally come to fruition. ‘That’s better. There were only 2 just now, how is that possibly enough. Neither of them will be truly able to adjust their attitude after everyone has learnt their lesson.’

With that thought in mind, he did not stop them. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he said, “Alright! Line up everyone! You’re all going to try it, one at a time!”
