Chapter 69: Random Inspection Regulations

Saturday afternoon, 5 PM.
...“Move faster, faster… It’s been many days, yet you’re still so slow. You’ve been eating and practicing for so long. Are you all good-for-nothings? Let me tell you, if you don’t finish the run in fifteen minutes today, you’ll have a hard time in the future.”
On the side of the training ground, the second platoon leader on duty was shouting through a loudspeaker.
Today was the recruits’ first three-kilometer fitness test since joining the army.
It was no longer like the morning exercises or drills where everyone had to support each other. This test was about individual speed, unity, and never giving up.
The company commander and the squad leaders had emphasized running as fast as possible.
Thus, on the track, the classes were no longer running together. Recruits from different squads were mixed up, resulting in a chaotic run.
Wang Ye was currently in the top 20. Though not in the first group, some of the athletic recruits were exceptionally fast.
Even Wanbao Jiang from Class Five was half a lap ahead of Wang Ye. The difference in their foundations was evident.
The recruits ahead of Wang Ye were either sports students or had attended sports schools or martial arts schools, or they had been practicing martial arts since a young age.
Their previous training had not been in vain. Ordinary people couldn’t catch up with them in just a few days.
Nevertheless, Wang Ye was satisfied with his position around the twentieth place.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if Wang Ye hadn’t been reborn and the original occupant had joined the military camp, he would have been at the bottom, if lucky enough, to finish the three kilometers in twenty minutes.
After his rebirth, Wang Ye had systematically trained his body outside the army. However, a month was not enough time for a drastic improvement in his physical fitness.
Previously, it would have taken him around fifteen to sixteen minutes to complete the run, which was the result of more than a month of training prior to joining the army, coupled with his young age and rest before joining.
But that was in the past.
“Fourteen minutes and twelve seconds.”
When Wang Ye crossed the finish line, a class monitor beside him shouted his time.
“Hu!” Wang Ye panted as he walked slowly to the side, stretching his leg muscles after the long-distance run.
At the same time, a list of his personal attributes appeared in his mind.
[Strength: 0.95]
[Speed:1]
[Stamina: 1.15]
[Vision: 0.9]
[Memory: 1.5]
[Reaction: 1.3]
[Storage Space: 1 cubic meter]
[Skills: Military Blanket Folding Lv3 (max level), Light 3km Cross-country Lv2 (10/20), Push-ups Lv2 (5/20), Half-Turn Lv3 (max level), Military Postures Lv3 (18/40), 400m Lvi (4/10), loom Sprint Lvi (2/10), Pull-ups Lvi (6/10), Rules and Regulations Lv3 (max level), Forward Steps Lv2 (4/20), Equal Steps Lv2 (10/20), Frog Jump Lvi (3/10)]
[Skill Points: 2]
The skill list was no longer a series of levels.
These were the results of Wang Ye’s week.
After leveling up the push-ups, his strength and stamina had increased by 0.05 points each. After reaching the max level for the half-turn, he gained an additional 0.2 points in reaction. Each level of military posture added 0.05 points to his stamina.
Notably, Wang Ye had used up his skill points.
After reaching level 2 on his own, he directly maxed out the skill points to level
3, providing an additional 0.2 points in memory.
Finally, there were the goose step and synchronized step.
These two skills were the least impactful. Leveling them up didn’t change his basic attributes at all. However, they made his leg movements more stable, like a warm current flowing through them.
“Hurry up, there’s only half a minute left. Let me tell you, fifteen minutes is already very lenient. You new recruits need 14 minutes and 30 seconds to pass the three-kilometer assessment. Given 15 minutes is already a concession for your recent enlistment. But if you can’t even manage that, then you’re trash, absolute trash…”
“Hurry up… You soldiers, lift your legs and run. It’s almost time!”
On the side, the platoon leader on duty continued shouting through the loudspeaker.
Wang Ye glanced over, contemplating whether the class monitor had a dry mouth after shouting for over ten minutes.
Of course, he refrained from asking. He didn’t want the class monitor to throw the loudspeaker at him.
Soon, fifteen minutes passed.
At least twenty people hadn’t reached the fifteen-minute mark.
Among them were two from Class Five.
Qin Li, on the upper bunk, and Song Yuejin, on the opposite upper bunk.
“Look at the two of you. One of you took sixteen minutes, and the other seventeen minutes. No pressure, right? Shameful. Starting today, the two of you will undergo special training. Before the main class, you’ll have to practice an additional three kilometers every morning and afternoon.”
Ye Sanshi brought them back to the Class Five gathering spot. With a stern face, he reprimanded them. The two recruits, who had just finished running three kilometers and were still trembling, could barely stand.
In the end, they could only remain silent, their mouths full of bitterness.
Two or three days ago, they could have used muscle soreness as an excuse for running slowly. However, now that everyone had recovered, they couldn’t blame muscle pain anymore. Their muscles no longer hurt, yet they were still running at a slow pace. What more could they say?
They had nothing to say.
Next, the recruits were tested on push-ups and pull-ups.
Wang Ye’s results were decent.
Fourteen pull-ups. Seventy-two push-ups in two minutes.
In Class Five, only Wan Baojiang surpassed Wang Ye in both exercises.
Among the recruits, only Liang Fan, who specialized in sports, managed two more pull-ups than Wang Ye and two fewer push-ups.
Of course, the push-up count was limited to two minutes, and two minutes wasn’t his limit.

“It’s been a week. Tomorrow is the weekend. Logically, there should be a break, but as I’ve said before, whether you can rest or not depends on yourselves.”
Thirty minutes after the evening news, they returned to the dormitory. Ye Sanshi’s words created tension in the air.
Random inspection of regulations.
That was what Ye Sanshi had mentioned on Monday night.
It wasn’t that there were no weekends in the army. It’s just that recruits only had one day off per week, and even that was subject to conditions.
As for Class Five, Ye Sanshi had set the condition of a random inspection of regulations. Those who passed would get a half-day break, while those who failed would have to do extra work in the classroom.
“Wang Ye, as the vice class monitor, you go first. Once you’re done, I’ll let you take over and scold them!”
This week, Wang Ye had been diligent, so Ye Sanshi was happy to further enhance Wang Ye’s authority.
“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye replied.
He had already reached the maximum level in regulations. He wouldn’t be afraid of a random inspection of the entire book, let alone Ye Sanshi’s attempt to find a hundred impossible regulations.
“Yes.” Ye Sanshi nodded and casually said, “Explain the duties of a soldier!”
“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye hesitated for a moment. In reality, he was just pretending. Although he couldn’t recite them perfectly backward, the relevant content appeared in his mind as soon as Ye Sanshi mentioned it.
He hesitated because he didn’t want to make it too obvious.
After all, passing in just a week was already commendable. There was no need to showcase an extraordinary performance.
“Nineteen, the basic duties of a recruit. There are eight points in total.
First, study Marxism-Leninism-
Second, obey orders, be brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, and fulfill missions resolutely.
Third,….”
