Chapter 0008: Your progress will definitely be noticed by others.

"What's going on with Class 5? Why are they all running outside?"

"Has everyone assembled? Why are all the students from Class 5 heading out?"

"They didn't assemble... What's going on with Class 5?"

The recruit company was disturbed by the commotion from the Fifth Platoon. Why were all the Fifth Platoon members out at night?

Someone recalled Wu Liuyi running laps on the training field and muttered, "Could they be planning to keep their squad leader company?"

"The Fifth Platoon can't accept defeat." A new recruit muttered under his breath. So what if they didn't get the Outstanding Platoon award? Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

"Let's see what they're up to."

The recruits muttered amongst themselves, crowding around the window to peek out.

On the training field, the ten people from Class 5 stood in two groups: Zheng Yingqi and Xu Sanduo in one group, and the others in the other, clearly divided.

"Zheng Yingqi, how do you want to compete?" Perhaps sensing that his side had more people, a new recruit inexplicably gained an air of certain victory and spoke first, his words carrying an air of confidence that he was better than them.

"Simple. Practice everything you've learned from the beginning, one by one," Zheng Yingqi said calmly. "I believe everyone will see whether it works or not, who's good and who's bad. We're all men; surely we wouldn't lie and talk nonsense against our conscience?"

It was a very simple provocation tactic, but these soldiers who had just entered the military camp were easily provoked.

"Pah! Only a bastard would dare to speak with his eyes open!"

"To lie and talk nonsense against one's conscience is the act of a bastard!"

A new recruit said excitedly. Xu Sanduo, who was standing next to Zheng Yingqi, clenched his fists tightly upon hearing this. He thought to himself:

I'm not going to be a son of a bitch anymore, and I don't want anyone to call me a son of a bitch anymore!

"I'll start," Cheng Cai said naturally, as he was used to being the benchmark and the standard-bearer. No one, including Zheng Yingqi, objected.

So Chengcai stepped forward and took two steps, beginning to practice all the knowledge and movements he had learned in the past few days.

Watching Cheng Cai's movements, Zheng Yingqi couldn't help but admit that he was indeed a tiny bit worse than this guy. However, he wasn't discouraged. It was only a tiny bit, so what? He was sure he could catch up with and surpass this kid!

Yes, we must make him truly convinced and let him know that his uncle will always be his uncle.

In just a few days, everyone hadn't learned much. Cheng Cai quickly completed the demonstration, and after joining the ranks with standard movements, he looked at Zheng Yingqi with a very clear provocative tone—it's your turn!

Without hesitation, Zheng Yingqi stepped forward, silently reciting the commands and performing the actions he had learned.

In the nearby dormitory area, the new recruits watched curiously as the fifth platoon's individual drills were conducted. One of them wondered, "What are these guys doing?"

"Yes, it's quite strange. They're practicing what they've learned these past few days one after another, like a competition."

"Should we go ask?"

"No way, who knows what's wrong with Class 5?"

As the recruits were whispering amongst themselves, the squad leader walked in from outside. Seeing them crowding around the window, he shouted, "What are you all doing? You're acting like soldiers!"

This was a phrase the platoon leader often used. Upon hearing his voice, the new recruits scattered like a swarm of bees. The platoon leader, with a cold smile, walked to the window to see what the recruits were doing. What he saw stunned him. After a moment, he said:

"Which class is this? What kind of competition are they having so late at night?"

"From Class 5."

"Fifth Squad? Wu Liuyi's squad, huh? Hey, it's only been a few days, and these soldiers are already just like Wu Liuyi. Look at him, he knows to have a competition and training late at night. You guys, on the other hand, are all sneaking around and peeking. Aren't you ashamed?" The squad leader started talking and then brought up "you guys are no good" again.

The journey of Class 5 naturally attracted the attention of many people, including Wu Liuyi, who was running laps, and Shi Jin, who was running alongside him.

"Let's go see which class they are and what they're doing so late at night!" As the platoon leader, Shi Jin naturally had a lot to worry about. He grabbed Wu Liuyi, who looked depressed, and pulled him away to walk a short distance away.

Wu Liuyi grumbled irritably, "They're not my guys, why should I go and see them?" Despite saying that, he still followed Shi Jinwang over.

Upon approaching, Wu Liuyi realized it was actually his own Class 5 students. He immediately became angry and said, "Are these kids bored? What kind of show are they making at night?" He was about to go over and stop them, and give them a lecture—these kids drooped like wilted carrots during the daytime training, but they were full of energy at night. He had kindly not increased the intensity of training since it had just started, but these kids didn't know what was good for them and were jumping around like crazy!

Shi Jin grabbed Wu Liuyi and said, "Don't go over there yet, let's see what happens first."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liuyi stopped in his tracks, looked into the distance, and then suddenly realized why Squad Leader Shi had said to wait; it turned out that cowardly kid was coming up.

On the field, everyone except Xu Sanduo had practiced what they had learned. Now only Xu Sanduo had not yet gone on stage, so he naturally attracted everyone's attention—or rather, nine pairs of eyes. In fact, many people in the dormitory were waiting to see Xu Sanduo make his move, hoping to see him make a fool of himself.

Ever since they learned that this was Class 5, they have been waiting for Xu Sanduo to come on stage.

Only when Xu Sanduo takes the field, only when Xu Sanduo makes a fool of himself, can they find solace in their hearts—look, I'm not the worst trained soldier!

Many eyes were fixed on Xu Sanduo, who felt a little timid, afraid of being the center of attention.

"Sanduo, don't be nervous. Show them all the hard work you've put in these past few days!" Zheng Yingqi knew his comrade who still spoke with a thick local accent. Seeing Xu Sanduo hesitate, he immediately spoke to him in a warm voice.

No sooner had Zheng Yingqi finished speaking than Cheng Cai's voice rang out: "Xu Sanduo, don't be nervous, we are all comrades in the same class."

Zheng Yingqi subconsciously looked at Cheng Cai. He didn't know if Cheng Cai had ulterior motives for saying that, but Cheng Cai's face showed encouragement.

Cheng Cai doesn't think Xu Sanduo can do very well, but he still hopes that Xu Sanduo will step forward, take action, and demonstrate his progress. Cheng Cai has no ill intentions in this regard.

Xu Sanduo first looked at Cheng Cai, then glanced at Cheng Cai again, gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

But whether it was because of a guilty conscience or something else, he staggered and almost fell.

This immediately drew laughter from the other recruits. Xu Sanduo wished he could bury his head in the ground; he knew he had embarrassed himself again…

"Sanduo, don't be nervous, just follow the rhythm we used during our extra training." Zheng Yingqi said to Xu Sanduo in a gentle voice, then glared fiercely at his mocking comrades.

Xu Sanduo glanced back at Zheng Yingqi, and seeing the encouragement and gentleness in his eyes, he nodded firmly.

The new recruits relaxed, knowing that Xu Sanduo would make a lot of mistakes again.

But what happened next left them dumbfounded.

Xu Sanduo performed all the movements in a convincing manner. To be honest, his movements were still somewhat distorted, but compared to the Xu Sanduo they remembered, he seemed like a completely different person.

Even Cheng Cai couldn't help but widen his eyes. Xu Sanduo's movements were actually better than before, almost reaching the average level of the whole class—a little below average, but at least he was no longer at the bottom.

Xu Sanduo got better and better at it, and slowly forgot that there were people around him, just like when he was doing extra training.

Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin, who were watching from a distance, were also stunned.

"Is this still Xu Sanduo?" Wu Liuyi muttered to himself in surprise, then said, "Is this kid deliberately trying to mess with me and make a fool of himself on the training field?"

Wu Liuyi began to have doubts. Looking at Xu Sanduo now, he was like a completely different person from the bear who made a fool of himself on the training field.

Shi Jin was also surprised. Xu Sanduo's performance had always been the worst in the Fifth Squad. How come he now looked quite promising?

Although I'm still a long way from being a qualified soldier!
