Assessment? Assessment!

Jiang Yan Hai had actually heard all these rumors. Although the farm under the logistics department was located in a relatively remote part of the regiment, it was not cut off from the world. Aside from the ingredients they purchased, the Kitchen Squads of the various companies had to come here to pick up some of their other supplies.

Naturally, the squad could hear the rumors here, and Jiang Yan Hai knew about them as well. But he merely smiled. Now that he had a goal, he could take on the heavens, the earth, and even the power lines!

What were rumors worth?! Besides, with a little thought, he understood that this was definitely a test Fan Tian Lei had set for him.

These rumors wanted to make things difficult for him? Not a chance. The military respected strength above all else. As long as he was strong enough, any rumors would disappear on their own.

He was determined to claim the Red Star Engine's mission reward!

Moreover, he had figured out that the Red Star Engine would not communicate with him at all right now. As for that permissions section, he wanted to know what would happen if he raised his permissions to the highest level. Would there be a way to return to reality?

So he did not care about these rumors at all. Besides, he still had a trump card. Over this week of training, Jiang Yan Hai's training completion rate had exceeded 100% every day. Not only had his physical fitness improved, he had also obtained seven full Special Forces Experience Cards, each valid for one hour.

If he still could not pass the assessment with those Experience Cards, then this would not be an ordinary field unit—it would be the Special Operations Brigade!

"They're here, they're here." A commotion rose among the soldiers from the four companies waiting there as the vehicle carrying Gong Jian and Jiang Yan Hai arrived.

After getting out of the vehicle, Jiang Yan Hai jogged directly to the front of the soldiers from all four companies, came to attention, and stood there steadily. The discussions behind him soon reached his ears.

"Is that the one from the pig farm?"

"People from pig farms want to join the Sharpshooter Fourth Company now?"

"I heard he graduated from Peking University. Of course he gets to pull strings. Can high school graduates like us compare with an elite student like him?"

"Quiet!" Gong Jian stepped to the front and shouted.

Everyone fell silent at once. Although Jiang Yan Hai remained expressionless, he found it somewhat amusing inside. The other company commanders had not stopped them in advance, waiting until he had heard those words before silencing them. If it had been someone else, that would have been quite the mockery.

"Jiang Yan Hai!" Once everyone had quieted down, Gong Jian turned toward Jiang Yan Hai and shouted.

"Here!"

"You want to join our Sharpshooter Fourth Company. Although your application has already been approved based on your education and other factors, if you want to enter our Sharpshooter Fourth Company, your basic military qualifications must meet the standard! Therefore, you must pass today's assessment. Otherwise, even if it means disobeying orders, I will go to the regiment commander and refuse to let you join our company! Because I cannot afford that embarrassment. Understood?" Gong Jian shouted.

"Understood!"

"Very good. In addition, ten soldiers have been given the chance to rejoin the Sharpshooter Fourth Company because of you. They are very dissatisfied and will take the assessment with you. I do not require you to score higher than everyone else. As long as you place in the top five, I will consider you to have passed." Gong Jian said.

"Yes!" Jiang Yan Hai said nothing else.

"Good. Those taking the assessment, step forward!" Gong Jian shouted at the other companies.

Soon, ten soldiers jogged out and formed a neat line alongside Jiang Yan Hai.

"Now, I will announce the first assessment. In the military, firearms are the most trustworthy close comrades in your hands. The first assessment is weapon disassembly and assembly." Gong Jian shouted.

Everyone immediately moved in an orderly fashion to the prepared area. They all faced the other soldiers so that every soldier could see clearly.

Jiang Yan Hai also took his position and drew a deep breath. This really was not his strongest event. Although he had learned weapon disassembly and assembly from Squad Leader Liu and the others, his proficiency was only about equal to Squad Leader Liu's.

But compared to these soldiers, Squad Leader Liu might not actually have been better than them. He had not expected to need to use a Special Forces Experience Card for the very first assessment.

However, Jiang Yan Hai was not someone who hesitated. He decisively used a Special Forces Experience Card in his mind.

The moment Jiang Yan Hai used the Special Forces Experience Card, a massive stream of information flooded into his mind. In an instant, he felt as if he had become a special forces soldier who had served for many years.

This feeling... was truly miraculous.

Jiang Yan Hai was somewhat amazed. It was as if, in an instant, he had become a genuine special forces soldier inside and out. He possessed all of a special forces soldier's combat skills and even their experience.

And the firearm in his hands immediately gave him an incomparably familiar sensation, as though it were truly an extension of his body.

"Everyone!" Gong Jian shouted. Everyone immediately became alert, including the observing soldiers. Jiang Yan Hai focused as well and took a deep breath. Even he had not noticed that, at this moment, Jiang Yan Hai seemed to have instantly become a true special forces soldier who had faced life and death!

"Ready! Begin!" Gong Jian drew a deep breath and decisively gave the command.

With a clatter, everyone almost simultaneously picked up the rifles from the ground in front of them.

"Holy shit! What did I just see?!"

"Damn!"

"Fuck!" The observing soldiers immediately widened their eyes and cried out involuntarily.

The company commanders, as well as Gong Jian and Old Hei watching from close by, all abruptly stared wide-eyed!

Because the moment he gave the command, the instant Jiang Yan Hai picked up his rifle, his hands seemed to become incomparably nimble.

Most terrifying of all, no one knew how he did it. With only a few flicks of his hands as they passed over the rifle, the entire weapon instantly turned into a pile of parts.

Really, it felt as though it had become a pile of parts in that very instant. By the time he had finished disassembling it, the other soldiers had only reached the third component.

Routine maintenance disassembly was not a complete breakdown and involved only a dozen or so components, yet Jiang Yan Hai had completed the entire disassembly while the others had only removed three or four parts.

He neatly arranged all the components on the table in front of him, while the others had only just finished taking apart half their rifles.

Jiang Yan Hai then immediately began assembling it. Compared with disassembly, assembly was not quite as fast, since it required a strict process.

But one look at Jiang Yan Hai's speed told everyone everything. He was far too practiced—so practiced it was terrifying. It was as though he were a veteran with more than a decade of service, not a rookie who had only completed a little over a month of recruit training.

Click! As the final magazine was inserted, Jiang Yan Hai put down the rifle in his hands and shouted, "Report! Finished!"

The instant Jiang Yan Hai spoke, the soldiers taking the assessment all paused in unison. Although they quickly resumed assembling their rifles, no one paid them any attention anymore. Everyone who witnessed the scene had only one thought: That was fucking fast!
