Chapter 105: Gifted, The Company Commander’s Loss
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“All, it’s all my fault this time. Our class didn’t get first place, and I feel responsible for letting you down, especially Wang Ye and Deng Hai.”
...In the dormitory, after Ye Sanshi returned from the formation assessment, he apologized to everyone in the class.
The others remained silent, realizing that Wang Ye and Deng Hai had suffered the most this time, so all eyes naturally turned to them.
Wang Ye, in particular, knew he had earned a third-class merit.
According to Ye Sanshi, this time, there was a good chance of obtaining a second third-class merit.
But now, the formation model position was vacant.
The reason wasn’t Wang Ye’s lack of strength.
The final assessment of the formation was set to be chosen from the class that secured the top position, but due to Ye Sanshi’s mistake, their class came in fifth place after points were deducted.
This meant that Wang Ye’s excellent performance didn’t matter.
After all, the recruits from other classes had also performed well.
The lack of technical content in the formation, such as a three-kilometer run or something similar, made it challenging to stand out.
Wang Ye’s physical fitness test last Friday had improved to 10:37 seconds, securing him the third place in the entire company.
The first horizontal bar practice, also known as pull-ups, was a true test of a person’s strength. Last week, Wang Ye managed to do 31 pull-ups in one go, securing the second spot in the rankings.
These exercises clearly revealed the differences in individuals’ abilities.
Regarding the formation assessment, it mainly required serious training and persistence. It didn’t involve many complex movements, making it manageable for recruits with normal reflexes.
An important point to note was that the formation assessment was only conducted internally among the new recruits. The judges comprised team members, company commanders, and instructors. It was essentially a class assessment and not an individual one. The goal was to evaluate how each individual influenced the overall performance of their class. It did not involve scoring individuals separately.
Wang Ye smiled and reassured everyone, stating that it was fine the way things were. He reminded them that the commander had mentioned another upcoming individual assessment, which he believed was the most crucial one.
He couldn’t help but criticize Ye Sanshi inwardly for his lack of transparency. Ye Sanshi’s misleading information had made everyone believe that the formation assessment was the final evaluation, affecting the overall assessment results of the recruit company.
However, in reality, it was not the case.
There would indeed be one final assessment for the new recruits, where they would be assessed individually.
“Haha, that’s right. Being a formation model is just a bonus point, but the final individual assessment results are what truly matter!” Ye Sanshi agreed with Wang Ye.
He then shook off his gloominess and addressed everyone loudly, “But in the end, it’s my fault that our class didn’t secure first place this time, so I’ll punish myself with a five-kilometer run. The rest of you can come along as supervisors!”
Ye Sanshi’s statement brought laughter to everyone’s faces.
On the way to the training ground, Qin Li whispered to Wang Ye, “It’s not easy. Finally, it’s his turn to run, and we get to watch. I feel like buying a bottle of beer and some melon seeds to celebrate…”
This sentiment resonated with everyone.
For the first time, they saw Ye Sanshi taking responsibility for his actions and accepting punishment willingly.
However, their enthusiasm quickly waned when they reached the training ground.
It turned out that Ye Sanshi’s “supervision method” was not what they had anticipated.
Instead of supervising others, Ye Sanshi took the lead and ran, while everyone else followed behind him, supposedly “supervising” his run.
Fuck…
This expression of shock and disbelief was evident on the faces of some individuals from Class 5.
“What’s with your expressions!” Ye Sanshi wore a smile on his face but feigned seriousness. “Have you all forgotten what we’ve been emphasizing? Unity is strength. Our class is a whole. Now that I’m punishing myself, you’re all part of the whole. How can you just stand by and watch? Hurry up! Quickly follow!”
On the field, Ye Sanshi led the way with a smile, and the “supervisors” reluctantly followed behind, feeling somewhat helpless.
Amidst this, Wang Ye was the only one who could laugh. He had never run five kilometers before, and he saw this as an opportunity to improve his skills.
He knew that by leveling up his endurance over five kilometers, he could significantly increase his stamina.
With that thought in mind, the skill attribute page appeared in his mind:
[Strength: 1.05]
[Speed: 1.15]
[Stamina: 1.4]
[Vision: 0.9]
[Memory: 1.5]
[Reaction: 1.3]
[Storage space: 1 cubic meter]
[Skill] Military Posture Level 4 (Maximum), 400-meter sprint Level 2 (2/20), 100-meter sprint Level 2 (1/10), sit-ups Level 2 (13/20)…
[Skill Points: 5]
His physical fitness had already reached 1.4, which was 1.4 times that of an ordinary person. Compared to Wang Ye’s initial stamina of 0.9 before joining the army, it was a significant improvement and comparable to a one-year veteran in an ordinary army.
However, Wang Ye knew that he still had to strive for more strength. He desired to become even stronger.
Certainly, Wang Ye’s desire to become stronger was unwavering, but he was also a thoughtful individual. Over the past half a month, he had consciously controlled his training progress to ensure it remained within an acceptable range for everyone.
Whether it was the three kilometers run, pull-ups, or push-ups, Wang Ye had paced his improvement gradually. He didn’t rely solely on the system’s upgrades to enhance his basic attributes; he put in effort during training as well, pushing himself to improve steadily.
As a mature person, Wang Ye understood that true improvement required time and dedication, not sudden leaps.
The system was his most significant secret, so he had to be cautious in its usage.
In the initial twelve or thirteen days of recruit training, Wang Ye genuinely gave his all and didn’t hold back. During that time, only a few skills were upgraded, and it wasn’t as eye-catching as some sports school students.
However, as Wang Ye improved, so did the others in the recruit company. The daily training and nourishing meals from the cooks played a vital role in their progress.
What set Wang Ye apart was that his progress seemed limitless, showing no signs of hitting any bottlenecks.
As a result, everyone in the recruit company began to view Wang Ye as a beast with extraordinary talent, amazed by his continuous and rapid growth.
“Look, Class 9 and the others are here to run too!” Gu Yingnan’s voice rang out as they ran, catching Wang Ye’s attention.
He turned his head to see another group of people approaching from the direction of the dormitory. They were from Class 9.
“Slow down, adjust your breathing, and wait for them!” Ye Sanshi immediately ordered.
Ever since the fight that happened last weekend, Class 9 and Class 5 had developed a feud. However, it wasn’t Class 9 that had a problem with Class 5; it was Class 5 that intentionally provoked Class 9, particularly led by Ye Sanshi.
Every time they trained, Ye Sanshi would deliberately bring Class 5 near Class 9 and have them train together. This created tension and animosity between the two classes.
Class 5 had been annoyed by the soldiers from Class 9, who tried to suppress them with their accumulated anger. But Class 9 was not to be underestimated, and they fought back.
The main point was that the soldier from Class 9 was holding a grudge. After Class 5 repeatedly caused trouble for him, they forced him to write a self-reflection overnight, leading to two days of grounding. Eventually, he had to apologize to Wang Ye in front of the entire company and conduct a public self-reflection.
Though Class 5 didn’t like him, they couldn’t deny the fact that he was still part of their class. Therefore, when Class 5 targeted him, it indirectly involved Class 9 as well.
This ongoing competition and tension between the two classes continued.
“Hehe, it has begun again…”
At the edge of the training ground, the instructor and Wu Jianfeng stood side by side, observing the situation with amusement. Kang Hua, who was also there, smiled and turned his head, seemingly used to this kind of rivalry between the classes.
“Not bad at all. 1 was actually thinking of finding a way to create more competition between the classes. What do you think about organizing more competitions after New Year’s Day?” Kang Hua suggested.
Wu Jianfeng rubbed his chin, intrigued by the idea. He looked at the two competing classes on the track and replied, “Basketball and tug-of-war are too repetitive. We should plan some diverse group competitions with the classes as units. Each class can compete against other classes. This way, we can create healthy rivalries and encourage them to push harder.”
Wu Jianfeng’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he continued, “By doing this, I believe our training results will soar in the remaining two months.”
Kang Hua couldn’t help but laugh at Wu Jianfeng’s devious plan. “You’re so cunning!”
Although he called him cunning, Kang Hua didn’t object to the idea. In fact, he seemed to be on board with the proposal. It was clear that both of them saw the potential benefits of encouraging competition between the classes to boost their training efforts.
