Chapter 105: Gifted, The Company Commander’s Loss


    Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion


    “All, it’s all my fault this time. Our ss didn’t get first ce, and I feel responsible for letting you down, especially Wang Ye and Deng Hai.”


    In the dormitory, after Ye Sanshi returned from the formation assessment, he apologized to everyone in the ss.


    The others remained silent, realizing that Wang Ye and Deng Hai had suffered the most this time, so all eyes naturally turned to them.


    Wang Ye, in particr, knew he had earned a third-ss merit.


    ording to Ye Sanshi, this time, there was a good chance of obtaining a second third-ss merit.


    But now, the formation model position was vacant.


    The reason wasn’t Wang Ye’sck of strength.


    The final assessment of the formation was set to be chosen from the ss that secured the top position, but due to Ye Sanshi’s mistake, their ss came in fifth ce after points were deducted.


    This meant that Wang Ye’s excellent performance didn’t matter.


    After all, the recruits from other sses had also performed well.


    Theck of technical content in the formation, such as a three-kilometer run or something simr, made it challenging to stand out.


    Wang Ye’s physical fitness testst Friday had improved to 10:37 seconds, securing him the third ce in the entirepany.


    The first horizontal bar practice, also known as pull-ups, was a true test of a person’s strength. Last week, Wang Ye managed to do 31 pull-ups in one go, securing the second spot in the rankings.


    These exercises clearly revealed the differences in individuals’ abilities.


    Regarding the formation assessment, it mainly required serious training and persistence. It didn’t involve manyplex movements, making it manageable for recruits with normal reflexes.


    An important point to note was that the formation assessment was only conducted internally among the new recruits. The judgesprised team members,panymanders, and instructors. It was essentially a ss assessment and not an individual one. The goal was to evaluate how each individual influenced the overall performance of their ss. It did not involve scoring individuals separately.


    Wang Ye smiled and reassured everyone, stating that it was fine the way things were. He reminded them that themander had mentioned another uing individual assessment, which he believed was the most crucial one.


    He couldn’t help but criticize Ye Sanshi inwardly for hisck of transparency. Ye Sanshi’s misleading information had made everyone believe that the formation assessment was the final evaluation, affecting the overall assessment results of the recruitpany.


    However, in reality, it was not the case.


    There would indeed be one final assessment for the new recruits, where they would be assessed individually.


    “Haha, that’s right. Being a formation model is just a bonus point, but the final individual assessment results are what truly matter!” Ye Sanshi agreed with Wang Ye.


    He then shook off his gloominess and addressed everyone loudly, “But in the end, it’s my fault that our ss didn’t secure first ce this time, so I’ll punish myself with a five-kilometer run. The rest of you cane along as supervisors!”


    Ye Sanshi’s statement broughtughter to everyone’s faces.


    On the way to the training ground, Qin Li whispered to Wang Ye, “It’s not easy. Finally, it’s his turn to run, and we get to watch. I feel like buying a bottle of beer and some melon seeds to celebrate…”


    This sentiment resonated with everyone.


    For the first time, they saw Ye Sanshi taking responsibility for his actions and epting punishment willingly.


    However, their enthusiasm quickly waned when they reached the training ground.


    It turned out that Ye Sanshi’s “supervision method” was not what they had anticipated.


    Instead of supervising others, Ye Sanshi took the lead and ran, while everyone else followed behind him, supposedly “supervising” his run.


    Fuck…


    This expression of shock and disbelief was evident on the faces of some individuals from ss 5.


    “What’s with your expressions!” Ye Sanshi wore a smile on his face but feigned seriousness. “Have you all forgotten what we’ve been emphasizing? Unity is strength. Our ss is a whole. Now that I’m punishing myself, you’re all part of the whole. How can you just stand by and watch? Hurry up! Quickly follow!”


    On the field, Ye Sanshi led the way with a smile, and the “supervisors” reluctantly followed behind, feeling somewhat helpless.


    Amidst this, Wang Ye was the only one who couldugh. He had never run five kilometers before, and he saw this as an opportunity to improve his skills.


    He knew that by leveling up his endurance over five kilometers, he could significantly increase his stamina.


    With that thought in mind, the skill attribute page appeared in his mind:


    [Strength: 1.05]


    [Speed: 1.15]


    [Stamina: 1.4]


    [Vision: 0.9]


    [Memory: 1.5]


    [Reaction: 1.3]


    [Storage space: 1 cubic meter]


    [Skill] Military Posture Level 4 (Maximum), 400-meter sprint Level 2 (2/20), 100-meter sprint Level 2 (1/10), sit-ups Level 2 (13/20)…


    [Skill Points: 5]


    His physical fitness had already reached 1.4, which was 1.4 times that of an ordinary person. Compared to Wang Ye’s initial stamina of 0.9 before joining the army, it was a significant improvement andparable to a one-year veteran in an ordinary army.


    However, Wang Ye knew that he still had to strive for more strength. He desired to be even stronger.


    Certainly, Wang Ye’s desire to be stronger was unwavering, but he was also a thoughtful individual. Over the past half a month, he had consciously controlled his training progress to ensure it remained within an eptable range for everyone.


    Whether it was the three kilometers run, pull-ups, or push-ups, Wang Ye had paced his improvement gradually. He didn’t rely solely on the system’s upgrades to enhance his basic attributes; he put in effort during training as well, pushing himself to improve steadily.


    As a mature person, Wang Ye understood that true improvement required time and dedication, not sudden leaps.


    The system was his most significant secret, so he had to be cautious in its usage.


    In the initial twelve or thirteen days of recruit training, Wang Ye genuinely gave his all and didn’t hold back. During that time, only a few skills were upgraded, and it wasn’t as eye-catching as some sports school students.


    However, as Wang Ye improved, so did the others in the recruitpany. The daily training and nourishing meals from the cooks yed a vital role in their progress.


    What set Wang Ye apart was that his progress seemed limitless, showing no signs of hitting any bottlenecks.


    As a result, everyone in the recruitpany began to view Wang Ye as a beast with extraordinary talent, amazed by his continuous and rapid growth.


    “Look, ss 9 and the others are here to run too!” Gu Yingnan’s voice rang out as they ran, catching Wang Ye’s attention.


    He turned his head to see another group of people approaching from the direction of the dormitory. They were from ss 9.


    “Slow down, adjust your breathing, and wait for them!” Ye Sanshi immediately ordered.


    Ever since the fight that happenedst weekend, ss 9 and ss 5 had developed a feud. However, it wasn’t ss 9 that had a problem with ss 5; it was ss 5 that intentionally provoked ss 9, particrly led by Ye Sanshi.


    Every time they trained, Ye Sanshi would deliberately bring ss 5 near ss 9 and have them train together. This created tension and animosity between the two sses.


    ss 5 had been annoyed by the soldiers from ss 9, who tried to suppress them with their umted anger. But ss 9 was not to be underestimated, and they fought back.


    The main point was that the soldier from ss 9 was holding a grudge. After ss 5 repeatedly caused trouble for him, they forced him to write a self-reflection overnight, leading to two days of grounding. Eventually, he had to apologize to Wang Ye in front of the entirepany and conduct a public self-reflection.


    Though ss 5 didn’t like him, they couldn’t deny the fact that he was still part of their ss. Therefore, when ss 5 targeted him, it indirectly involved ss 9 as well.


    This ongoingpetition and tension between the two sses continued.


    “Hehe, it has begun again…”


    At the edge of the training ground, the instructor and Wu Jianfeng stood side by side, observing the situation with amusement. Kang Hua, who was also there, smiled and turned his head, seemingly used to this kind of rivalry between the sses.


    “Not bad at all. 1 was actually thinking of finding a way to create morepetition between the sses. What do you think about organizing morepetitions after New Year’s Day?” Kang Hua suggested.


    Wu Jianfeng rubbed his chin, intrigued by the idea. He looked at the twopeting sses on the track and replied, “Basketball and tug-of-war are too repetitive. We should n some diverse grouppetitions with the sses as units. Each ss canpete against other sses. This way, we can create healthy rivalries and encourage them to push harder.”


    Wu Jianfeng’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he continued, “By doing this, I believe our training results will soar in the remaining two months.”


    Kang Hua couldn’t help butugh at Wu Jianfeng’s devious n. “You’re so cunning!”


    Although he called him cunning, Kang Hua didn’t object to the idea. In fact, he seemed to be on board with the proposal. It was clear that both of them saw the potential benefits of encouragingpetition between the sses to boost their training efforts.
