[Skill Points: 3]
This was Wang Ye’s current attribute list, which showed slight improvements in stamina. Wang Ye had expected this boost, considering the physical exertion of the three-kilometer run.
Although he was pleasantly surprised, he restrained himself from allocating all three skill points to the three-kilometer skill. Despite the satisfying leveling-up experience, Wang Ye recognized that his current level was still low.
After leveling up just now, the feeling was too good. His entire body was warm, and the fatigue from running three kilometers was swept away.
Returning to the dormitory, Ye Sanshi wasted no time and instructed Wang Ye to supervise the folding of blankets. Wang Ye diligently monitored the recruits’ progress, ensuring that anyone who folded their blanket poorly was promptly reminded.
At this moment, Wang Ye could tell that Ye Sanshi seemed to be really concerned about today’s examination. Excluding the time they came back, it was almost half an hour before breakfast. In the dormitory, everyone except for Wang Ye, who was allowed to take a toothbrush and towel to wash up when Deng Hai went on duty, didn’t have time to brush their teeth in the morning.
Under Wang Ye’s supervision, the blankets may not have been as perfect as the ones on Ye Sanshi’s bed, but they still looked presentable from a distance. The recruits secretly glanced at the doors of other classes’ dormitories on their way back from breakfast, realizing that Class Five’s blankets were folded better than the others.
Ye Sanshi’s smile widened as he addressed the recruits. “Clean up now. Don’t assume that yesterday’s cleaning is enough. Dust settles overnight, and you must clean carefully again.” He softened his tone and continued, “If you win the competition today, 1’11 buy two bottles of Coke for you as a reward at noon. Moreover, you’ll have an hour-long lunch break this afternoon. Starting tomorrow, you will wake up at five.”
“Really?” Gu Yingnan said in surprise. In fact, he wasn’t the only one. Upon hearing his words, many of the recruits were invigorated.
Surprised and invigorated, the recruits eagerly accepted the offer. They had been waking up at four in the morning and had no chance to nap during the day. The prospect of an extra hour of sleep and a longer lunch break was enticing. This was especially so in the south. Even though it was December now, it was not raining. The temperature at noon was 24 or 25 degrees Celsius. After eating, a breeze would blow, and one would fall asleep standing.
Ye Sanshi’s smile faded momentarily as he added, “But… if you fail to win today, you’ll all wake at four from now on and not a minute later. Forget about taking a nap or drinking Coke.”
Wang Ye promptly stood at attention and affirmed his commitment to completing the mission. This prompted the other recruits to follow suit, all shouting their promise.
“Alright then, you are dismissed!” Ye Sanshi wasted no time, and the Class Five recruits set about their tasks energetically, meticulously cleaning every nook and cranny.
Meanwhile, Ye Sanshi monitored their progress, occasionally checking the cleanliness himself. He also had a personal motive: he wanted to use the achievement to contact his girlfriend.
For the recruits of the fifth squad, it was a rare opportunity to work together as a cohesive unit.
At eight o’clock, the whistle signaled the end of their cleaning duties. Ye Sanshi led the class downstairs, where he delivered a speech about officially entering the rhythm of a soldier. He emphasized the limited time they had to transform from civilians into soldiers and encouraged them to embrace hardship and shed blood without tears.
“You’ve gotten used to it for two days. It’s a new week. What I want to tell you is that you should forget your previous lives and officially enter the rhythm of a soldier. Starting from this week, the training intensity will increase because your time is limited. You only have three months, but you need to completely transform from a commoner into a soldier within these three months. Therefore, my fellow recruits, 1 hope that you will always remember that you are a man, a man who can endure hardship, sweat, and shed blood without tears!”
During this gathering, Wu Jianfeng’s opening words made the hearts of all the recruits in the company sink. What did he mean by it had just officially started? What did he mean by increasing the intensity of training? Wasn’t the intensity of the previous two days low? Reality proved that it was indeed not big enough. After the formation was disbanded, the entire recruit company was separated into platoons.
After the gathering, the recruits were separated into platoons and engaged in an hour-long army training session.
Some recruits were leading new recruits for the first time, while others had prior experience. Nevertheless, Wu Jianfeng addressed all the class monitors, stressing that every year was a new beginning and a new training process.
Wu Jianfeng’s words were straightforward yet calm, urging the class monitors to lead effectively and become the backbone of the company.
The class monitors stayed behind as Wu Jianfeng and Kang Hua stood on the steps. Wu Jianfeng continued, “Although these two to three days have been short, they serve as an indicator of things to come. Just like a soldier, whether they are good or weak, you can usually tell from the start.”
He smiled, acknowledging that there were exceptions to this rule. Some good soldiers could deteriorate, while weak soldiers could improve. However, he asked the class monitors to consider how many out of a hundred cowardly soldiers eventually became good and how many out of a hundred good soldiers turned cowardly.
With that, Wu Jianfeng ended the discussion. “Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. 1 believe that you all know what’s going on. You’re not new recruits anymore.”
Wu Jianfeng and Kang Hua immediately turned around and went upstairs. The class monitors behind them looked at each other and didn’t say anything, but they followed suit.
