"It's very simple," Jiang Yan Hai said with a smile.

Simple?! Everyone wore bewildered expressions. No, did he have some kind of misunderstanding about the word "simple"?

This was fucking simple?

Among all the soldiers in the four companies here, Old Hei was probably the only one with any confidence he could do it. The rest probably couldn't, and even if they could, they definitely wouldn't be as fast as him.

And then he told them it was simple?

In other words, instantly crushing everyone from four companies was simple? Did he have some kind of misunderstanding about that word?

"How is that simple?" Gong Jian felt a headache coming on. He suddenly realized this guy might be a troublemaker.

"You just need to memorize the dimensions and shapes of every component in dozens of major internationally used firearms until they form fixed images in your mind. The instant he dumps all the parts from the bag, assign numbers to every part in your head, create a three-dimensional spatial position for each one in front of you, remember where they are, and then simply grab the parts according to your memory. It's not difficult," Jiang Yan Hai said calmly.

Gong Jian: "..."

Old Hei: "..."

The other company commanders: "..."

The ten soldiers taking the assessment: "..."

The other soldiers watching: "..."

Everyone looked utterly dumbfounded. You called that simple?!!!

Everyone had question marks all over their faces. No, did they have different understandings of what "simple" meant?

And why could he say something like that so casually, then seriously claim it was simple?

If that was simple, then what were people like them? Retards?!

And why could they understand every word he said, but once the words were strung together, they just felt like...???

Had they all learned Chinese?

Of course Jiang Yan Hai saw their expressions, and he felt pretty good about it. He did not care about their gossip, but not caring and slapping them in the face were not mutually exclusive. Yes, he admitted that he had deliberately said it that way!

Of course, Jiang Yan Hai had not been wrong either. That was exactly how he had done it in his mind.

"Are you sure what you said is true?" Gong Jian had originally wanted to ask Jiang Yan Hai whether he had some special technique that could be promoted throughout the military.

But who would have thought that this guy would come out with something like that? Gong Jian felt a little exasperated. How the hell was that supposed to be promoted?

"Of course! These parts can also assemble one Type 95 Squad Automatic Weapon, though it's missing six parts; one Type 03 Assault Rifle, missing seven parts; and one Type 95 Carbine, missing nine parts. There are also three duplicated Type 95 rifle parts and two duplicated Type 03 parts. If we don't assemble the Type 95 rifle I just assembled, we can instead complete the Type 95 Squad Automatic Weapon. Also, three of those parts are damaged," Jiang Yan Hai immediately said.

As soon as Jiang Yan Hai spoke, everyone was stunned. This could actually be done?

They had all thought Jiang Yan Hai was bragging just now, but at this moment, they understood. He had not been bragging at all.

"Put them together and let me see." Gong Jian refused to believe it. He had not participated when these parts were prepared; he had merely told others to randomly gather a pile of parts and mix them together, though everyone had received the same set.

"Yes!" Jiang Yan Hai did not waste words. He returned to the table and rapidly began assembling them, starting with the Type 95 Squad Automatic Weapon. Since the parts were incomplete, he only needed to assemble them into partial products.

The Type 95 Squad Automatic Weapon, the Type 95 Carbine, and the Type 03 Assault Rifle—Jiang Yan Hai assembled every firearm just as he had at the start, without the slightest hesitation and at incredible speed.

One partial product after another was neatly lined up, while the remaining identical parts were placed together in orderly groups.

In an instant, the previously chaotic pile of parts became pleasing to the eye.

Now everyone could see it at a glance. Everything Jiang Yan Hai had said just now... was fucking correct! That was incredible!

"He's an expert," He Chen Guang could not help saying among the company ranks.

"Chen Guang, can you do that?" Li Er Niu, who stood not far from He Chen Guang, could not help asking.

"No. His head... works differently from ours." He Chen Guang shook his head and pointed at his own temple.

At that moment, everyone was looking at Jiang Yan Hai differently. This was no longer fucking bragging. This was the real deal.

What had sounded more like showing off just now was no longer showing off when he proved it with facts.

Still, everyone felt a little dizzy. Why was it that compared to Jiang Yan Hai, they all felt like idiots?

Was this really something a human could do?

Most importantly, Jiang Yan Hai had only finished recruit training a little over a month ago!

If he served for a few more years, wouldn't that be insane?

"Good! Does anyone have any objections to this result?!" Gong Jian shouted.

"No!" This time, nearly everyone shouted in response. They had no choice but to be completely convinced. Still, firearm assembly assessments were only the most basic thing in the military.

"Next is the Physical Training assessment! The events are 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, 100 frog jumps, 200 barbell lifts, and a 10-kilometer cross-country run carrying 35 kilograms. Scores will be based on completion time. Any questions?" Gong Jian shouted.

"No!" All eleven of them, including Jiang Yan Hai, replied in unison.

However, Jiang Yan Hai felt a little regretful. If the shooting assessment had come first, his Special Forces Experience Card would have been enough. His own current shooting scores definitely could not compare with those of special forces soldiers.

But Jiang Yan Hai feared neither Physical Training nor the loaded cross-country run, because they required the least technical skill. Over this past week, the area in which Jiang Yan Hai had improved the most was his physical fitness!

He could complete this assessment without using the Special Forces Experience Card! He had absolute confidence!

"Collect your weapons and equipment!" Gong Jian ordered.

Soldiers immediately brought over their weapons and equipment. The gear Jiang Yan Hai had brought with him was definitely not enough to reach 35 kilograms, so another set had been prepared for him: a standard full set of gear for a 35-kilogram armed cross-country run.

The equipment was neatly laid out before all eleven of them. Once everyone had finished putting it on, Gong Jian gave the order. "Begin!"

All eleven immediately dropped to the ground and began doing push-ups. Jiang Yan Hai did the same, but his speed instantly drew everyone's attention.

Push-ups, especially standard push-ups, were not that easy. Jiang Yan Hai's form was extremely precise, yet he was incredibly fast—almost averaging two per second.

Gong Jian wanted to remind him of something, but in the end, he did not speak.

Because the other participants were all veteran soldiers, and they understood perfectly well that in this kind of comprehensive physical test, the key was properly distributing one's endurance and strength.

If they went too hard at the beginning, they would not have enough strength left for the later events.
