From the Pig Farm

Squad Leader Liu went to get busy, leaving Jiang Yan Hai alone again, and the Red Star Engine directly gave him new training tasks. As Jiang Yan Hai expected, it was still burpees, but the number to be completed in one go was increased to 400!

Jiang Yan Hai had a rough idea why the Red Star Engine wanted him to complete the burpees first. It was because burpees engaged the most muscles in the entire body at once, and the soothing energy that continuously emerged within him was likely helping his muscle groups grow stronger rapidly.

Therefore, this kind of extreme training was naturally the best.

Without further ado, he returned to the barracks not far away, replenished his fluids, and resumed the burpees.

After leaving the logistics farm, Fan Tian Lei went directly to the regimental headquarters.

"Old Kang, I'll leave this matter to you," Fan Tian Lei said, handing a document to Old Kang.

"Heh, a weasel wishing the New Year to a chicken – no good intentions," Regimental Commander Kang, whom people in the regiment jokingly called Master Kang, scoffed dismissively.

"Old Kang, I don't like hearing you say that. This is about selecting talent for your regiment. Although I brought the person in, take a look at the kid's file yourself. He graduated from Peking University at eighteen and has a triple bachelor's degree. Have you ever seen anyone like that among the recruits?" Fan Tian Lei pointed to the file.

Regimental Commander Kang took the file and looked at it. He naturally knew his own soldiers, especially Jiang Yan Hai's background, which made him stand out among the recruits. Therefore, Regimental Commander Kang was already aware of this.

"I know about that, but weren't his recruit training scores not that great?" Regimental Commander Kang asked after looking at the file.

"Although I don't know what happened to him, I think the kid must have encountered some trouble before. But I just saw him, and he's recovered well, so how about giving him a chance?" Fan Tian Lei smiled.

"If you give him a chance like this, aren't you afraid he'll be drowned by the spit of other soldiers?" Regimental Commander Kang looked at him speechlessly.

"Pressure is also motivation. Since he wants to play like this, he has to bear this pressure. And Old Kang, he's different from other recruits. Even though he's also eighteen, his mind is different from theirs. Never underestimate him," Fan Tian Lei said with a serious expression.

"Alright, I understand. It's just a matter of announcing it in advance to put some pressure on him. I'll assign Gong Jian to be in charge," Regimental Commander Kang thought for a moment and then nodded.

Jiang Yan Hai naturally didn't know that Fan Tian Lei had added a little more pressure on him. However, he didn't have the mood to know it at the moment because he was so exhausted that he didn't want to say anything.

For the next week, Jiang Yan Hai truly understood how monstrous the Red Star auxiliary engine was. Besides the terrifying amount of exercise every day, he also had to learn all the basic knowledge in the army, including maintaining, disassembling, and assembling firearms, shooting, and so on.

However, it had to be said that once Jiang Yan Hai got serious, his speed of accepting new knowledge was terrifying. And now, his basic data had also improved significantly.

"Name: Jiang Yan Hai" "Age: 18" "Permissions: Recruit (0/100)" "Attribute detection complete as follows:" "Physical Fitness: 150" "Neural Reaction: 120" "Brain Activity: 180" "The above standards are based on the average attributes of healthy adults aged 18-40, which are all 100. Individual variations exist." "Current Mission: Join the Sharpshooter Fourth Company."

The most significant improvement was in his physical fitness. He originally only had eighty, but now it reached 150! It had almost doubled!

It was only then that Jiang Yan Hai understood that not only did completing tasks reward physical fitness, but his daily exercises and the energy constantly surging within his body were enhancing his physical fitness at all times.

And this speed was extremely terrifying. The most frightening thing was that his body would not have any side effects. This was simply a cheat!

At this moment, Jiang Yan Hai was fully equipped and ready for the assessment.

"Go ahead. There have been some rumors in the regiment lately. Don't pay attention to them. Just do what you need to do," Squad Leader Liu said, patting Jiang Yan Hai's shoulder.

"Yes, Squad Leader! Don't worry, Squad Leader, I won't pay attention to them," Jiang Yan Hai said with a slight smile, then saluted all his comrades in the squad.

"Everyone, I've been a bit of a scoundrel during this time, causing you trouble. I apologize here to all of you," Jiang Yan Hai said, then lowered his hand and bowed deeply to everyone.

"What are you talking about? We're comrades. We don't know what you've been through, but it's good that you've come through it,"

"That's right, Jiang Yan Hai, go for it! Go out there and show them that we have experts in the logistics farm too!"

"Go for it!"

All his comrades said loudly with smiles.

"Alright, everyone, attention!" Squad Leader Liu took a deep breath and shouted.

With a "snap," everyone stood at attention uniformly, their expressions serious.

"Salute!" Squad Leader Liu shouted loudly.

With a "swish," everyone saluted uniformly, including Jiang Yan Hai, who stood facing them.

Although they hadn't interacted much in the past month, these past few days had provided him with the greatest help: training, meals, energy replenishment, and teaching him some military knowledge.

At this moment, Jiang Yan Hai suddenly felt his nose sting, but he held back. He knew that perhaps they would walk on different paths in the future, but he would never forget that this was his first company and his first squad!

Lowering his hand, Jiang Yan Hai decisively turned around and ran towards the car waiting to pick him up.

Behind him, nine figures stood motionless, still maintaining their salute posture until Jiang Yan Hai's figure boarded the car, the car started, and finally disappeared from sight, kicking up dust.

The one who came to pick up Jiang Yan Hai was Gong Jian, the political instructor of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company. Sitting in the passenger seat, Gong Jian looked at Jiang Yan Hai in the back through the rearview mirror and said calmly, "Are you ready?"

"I'm ready," Jiang Yan Hai grinned at Gong Jian.

Gong Jian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately did not.

The assessment grounds at this moment weren't just for the Sharpshooter Fourth Company; the Fierce Tiger Sixth Company, where Wang Yan Bing was stationed, and two other companies were also present.

"Did you hear? That guy Jiang Yan Hai from the pig farm is using connections to get into the Sharpshooter Fourth Company."

"Can you really call it using connections? Isn't he still being assessed?"

"Bullshit, the assessment is just a formality, right?"

"Anyway, aren't there other soldiers who weren't convinced participating in the assessment today too? If he loses then, the higher-ups won't be able to let him in, will they?"

"They could still let him in. The Fourth Company has a mess hall, don't they? Moving from the pig farm to the mess hall is also possible. Haha."

Listening to the chatter behind him, Old Hei frowned. He disliked people gossiping behind others' backs, but he held back because he knew this news had been deliberately leaked by those in charge.

Old Hei didn't know the specific reason, but according to the political instructor, this was a test for the new kid.

Getting into the Sharpshooter Fourth Company wasn't easy; it required not only excellent military skills but also strong mental fortitude!

However, what Old Hei didn't know was that this was actually a trap set by Fan Tian Lei for Jiang Yan Hai.
