Virtual Dog?

"You washed your Squad Leader's quilt? Isn't that a good thing?"

"Yeah! I also feel like this isn't helping the Squad Leader reduce his burden. I saw that our Squad Leader's quilt had a map drawn on it, and he was still reluctant to wash it. I don't know what these Veterans are thinking."

The New Recruit from the next squad shook his hand in some confusion.

"Is there a possibility that after your Squad Leader's quilt is washed and dried, the cotton inside will become very fluffy, and it won't be possible to fold it into a tofu-like square anymore?"

Lü Qinglong suddenly spoke up.

If this quilt was washed and dried, wouldn't it be exactly the same as the quilts the New Recruits used?

No wonder he was so angry. They actually washed the military quilt. Anyone would despair.

"Wow! Is that how it is! Thanks, Brother Long!"

The New Recruit from the next squad suddenly understood and thanked Lü Qinglong for clearing things up.

Now, basically the entire Company knew that their Company had a New Recruit named Brother Long, who was a monster in appearance.

Even though he hadn't done anything, his reputation had already spread completely.

"Then next time I see a Veteran I don't like, I'll secretly wash his quilt! That way, those Veterans won't dare to bully me anymore."

The New Recruit muttered to himself, and a bold idea gradually formed in his mind.

The ten-minute break ended quickly, and the afternoon training continued.

It was still Military Posture training. They practiced until around 4:20 PM when the duty officer finally called an end to the training.

Back in their bunks, the New Recruits felt their waists aching terribly.

"I can't do it anymore, my back feels like it's broken!"

"Xu Gou, your physical fitness isn't that good either, you're already having back pain?"

Xue Daochao looked at Ji Baichang and couldn't help but tease him.

This guy was really used to a life of comfort. After joining the army, not only was the food not to his liking, but after training, he was also the one shouting the loudest about being tired.

"Down-to-earth Daoist, what nonsense are you spouting! I'm weak? I'm incredibly strong, damn it! My waist is just a little sore!"

"If you're going to mock me like this, why don't we have a competition later during physical training! I'm really good at running!"

Ji Baichang got agitated when he heard Xue Daochao.

He was a man, and you could say anything about him, but you couldn't say he was weak!

Besides, he had trained for two months before enlisting, so his physical fitness was definitely a little better than the average person!

"Bring it on, let me see what level you're at later."

In the eyes of both parties, the fighting spirit was evident!

They were both hot-blooded young men, how could they miss a competition about physical fitness?

In comparison, the other New Recruits seemed a bit listless. They had just finished training for the day, and the duty officer was already shouting from downstairs about physical training later.

This army life was too fulfilling, wasn't it?

Plus, they hadn't slept at noon, and now they were feeling a bit groggy.

"Huh? Are you guys going to have a running race later? Count me in?"

Lü Qinglong, who had just changed into his super, super, super-large physical training uniform, had his striking eyes light up when he heard they were having a competition.

He had been fast since he was young. When he was six years old in the first grade, he participated in a sports meet. Although he was only 1.8 meters tall, he completely crushed the other children in all events.

At the age of eight, he won the championship in his first kickboxing match in Southeast Asia, directly defeating the supposedly invincible heavyweight "Heavy Cannon" Lei Long.

However, in the fourth grade of elementary school, he didn't finish his holiday homework because he was boxing.

His Mother was very angry at the time.

She felt that boxing would affect his academic performance, so she told him to stop boxing.

"Leave some room for others to live."

From then on, the boxing world lost a talented young boxer.

Of course, Lü Qinglong also had people he couldn't beat, and that was his older brother, Lü Qingtian.

At that time, Lü Qingtian was just eighteen years old, and Lü Qinglong was only eight. His older brother was truly ruthless, and the eight-year-old him was no match for him.

After all, Lü Qingtian's height and weight were significant at the time, and they were not in the same weight class.

However, it was a pity that when he grew a bit older, his brother had already joined the army, and the two brothers never had a chance to fight again.

"Huh? Qinglong, you want to compete with us too? Are you fast?"

Ji Baichang looked at Lü Qinglong with some suspicion.

He was so sturdy and must weigh a lot.

This meant he definitely wouldn't be fast, so they could have a race together and see.

"It's alright."

Lü Qinglong gave an ambiguous answer.

"Great! Then the three of us will have a competition. As for the punishment, let me think."

"How about this: the loser has to wash the winner's socks for a week. What do you say?"

"Okay, okay! I agree!"

Lü Qinglong immediately blinked his large, captivating eyes.

"I don't have a problem with it either."

Beside him, Xue Daochao nodded in agreement.

The competition was quickly decided and the news spread among the other New Recruits in the same squad.

"Whoosh~"

"All personnel, assemble downstairs for physical training!"

The duty officer's shout came from the front of the building. The New Recruits changed into their physical training uniforms and stood somewhat anxiously in front of the building.

It wasn't just the New Recruits; the Veterans were the same. They had also changed into their physical training uniforms and light canvas shoes, standing at the end of the New Recruit formation.

"We'll have a unified three-kilometer run shortly. The Company Commander wants to get a baseline for the new comrades. After the three kilometers, each squad will break off for their own practice."

The duty officer concisely explained the requirements for the upcoming physical training and led all the New Recruits and Veterans of the First Company to the parade ground where they had just finished formation drills.

Since the First Company was closest to the parade ground, other companies hadn't arrived yet when they got there. The duty officer quickly led the New Recruits to occupy the running track.

"One lap of the track is one kilometer, so you'll run three laps. The finish line will be where the starting line is now."

"I'll lead everyone in a brief warm-up to prevent injuries. If anyone can't run, report it."

After speaking, the duty officer led the New Recruits in stretching their wrists and ankles.

The main focus was on warming up the New Recruits' ankles to prevent them from going weak and twisting them halfway through the run.

"I'll leave you in the dust later! I've already put a very elastic insole in my canvas shoes. I'll show you what speed is!"

"You're going to leave me in the dust? Xu Gou."

"Ptooey! You Perverted Daoist, who are you calling 'Xu'?"

"Xu Gou."

"Perverted Daoist!"

The animosity between Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao was already palpable.

Once the duty officer finished leading the warm-up, Ji Baichang and Xue Daochao were the first to grab a good position at the starting line.

The duty officer pulled out one of the army's common divine artifacts – the Life-chasing Watch.

"All personnel, on your marks!"

"Set!"

"Go!"
