    “How much do you know about the special forces?”


    ck Fox didn’t answer Wang Ye’s question, nor did he correct Wang Ye’s obviously spoiled temper.


    This temper, it needed teaching, it needed change, but definitely not now.


    When new recruits just joined the army and hadn’t even reached the new recruits’pany, the squad leader would still coax them.


    Special forces were the same, before going, you had to be gentle and kind.


    Of course, it also depended on the person.


    Anyway, right now, Wang Ye definitely had the qualifications to let him do this.


    In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that this person right now was Wang Ye, he would definitely have shown him how the special forces’ 400-meter obstacle course was run.


    And when he received his admiring gaze, he would say to him, “Do you want to be a soldier like me?”


    But in the face of Wang Ye, let it go.


    He had already broken the military district record, doing this in front of Wang Ye, wasn’t he just asking for trouble?


    Maybe after running, Wang Ye would say, “Is this the special forces?”


    Then he might not be able to sleep for a long time.


    “I don’t know much, I just know that the special forces are where the king of soldiers gathers, each one of them is a master of martial arts!” Wang Ye didn’t dwell on whether he would answer his own question, and upon hearing his second question, he immediately responded.


    “Well, that’s an okay understanding, although it’s very superficial, it’s still a fact!” ck Fox nodded, then looked at Wang Ye and asked again, “Have you ever thought about bing a special soldier?”


    “Yes, but I feel like I’m not suitable!”


    Wang Ye didn’t hide anything. It was quite apparent that the person in front of him wanted to recruit him into the special forces.


    In this situation, there was no need to conceal his true thoughts.


    Clearly, Wang Ye’s answer left ck Fox momentarily perplexed.


    He reached into his pocket for a cigarette.


    As he lit the cigarette, he pondered why Wang Ye would say such a thing.


    What was the reason behind his words?


    Truth be told, he wanted Wang Ye as a soldier.


    Of course, that was a given.


    Any unit would want a soldier like Wang Ye who could break records.


    “Snap!”


    After lighting the cigarette and taking a puff, he still couldn’t figure out why Wang Ye would say that.


    “Why do you feel you’re not suitable?”


    He asked directly when he couldn’te up with an answer. ck Fox was straightforward.


    Wang Ye hesitated for a moment but then said frankly, “1 feel my personality isn’t suitable!”


    After saying this, he looked at ck Fox and continued without waiting for him to respond, “If a war were to break out tomorrow, I would dare to go into battle, even dare to charge into enemy territory alone.”


    He paused for a moment and then looked at ck Fox, saying, “Of course, the higher-ups might think I’m just bragging!”


    “No, I believe you!” Holding the cigarette, ck Fox said earnestly, “Your willingness to jump in without hesitation when arade falls into the water proves your courage!”


    Wang Ye chuckled and continued, “I’m not afraid to go into battle, and I’m willing to die on the battlefield. Even if I’m surrounded, alone, I would fight until I have no strength left. If there are still bullets, I’ll save thest one for myself. If there are no bullets left, I’ll choose another way to end my life, I won’t be a captive.”


    Looking at ck Fox, Wang Ye’s tone shifted as he said, “But I know that the special forces undergo rigorous training, especially in endurance and mental resilience. I have great respect for you all, but I personally don’t think I can endure that kind of training.”


    “A good soldier is forged through training,” ck Fox spoke with a serious expression. “Training is meant to make us stronger in battle, to better aplish our missions. The special forces bear a sacred mission and, in the current peaceful environment, they are the most powerful scissors of our nation, cutting off the hidden threats that reach towards us and protecting the lives and property of our country’s people!”


    Wang Ye nodded, “Yes, i agree with what you’re saying, Commander. But I’m straightforward and sometimes stubborn. I understand that you have a significant mission to fulfill, and to ensure the mission’s sess, personnel need to be at their best. However, i personally can’t endure having my dignity trampled upon and being tortured. Especially being trampled upon without the ability to retaliate, I can’t handle that.”


    ck Fox locked eyes with Wang Ye and suddenly smiled, “Heh, you can retaliate, as long as you be strong enough, you can rise aboveter. Start with the training, and in the future, you can train others!”


    At this moment, Wang Ye looked at him but didn’t say anything. However, Wang Ye’s expression clearly conveyed his thoughts.


    Speechless.


    What is he thinking? Does he really think he’sforting a child?


    “Yes, your words may sound fine, but how much hardship do i have to endure and what will i be turned into before reaching that stage?” Wang Ye thought.


    “How about it? Don’t you have confidence in yourself?” ck Fox tried to provoke him.


    “No, I have confidence in myself, but I don’t want to undergo that kind of training!” Wang Ye paused, feeling the need to rify further, “If it were the enemy, I wouldn’tin even if I were covered in scars because I could take their life, and I would do whatever it takes to kill them. But being tortured by my own people, I don’t want to go through that!”


    “To want to kill the enemy, you must first train yourself. Even good steel must be tempered!” To be honest, ck Fox felt a bit disappointed at this moment. Wang Ye was different from what he had imagined.


    However, Wang Ye had his own judgment and thoughts, “I understand, but there are different ways to serve as a soldier and be loyal to the country besides bing a special forces soldier.”


    “Alright, I understand your point!” ck Fox dropped the half-smoked cigarette.


    Looking at Wang Ye, he said seriously, “Everyone has their own aspirations, and I won’t force you. However, in peacetime, regr units have a hard time encountering real missions and basically have no chance to go into battle. Special forces are different; there, you can truly engage in variousbat missions, utilize the skills you’ve learned and honed, and protect the country by killing the enemy and defending your home.”


    He stepped down from the high stool.


    He approached Wang Ye’s side, cing his hand on Wang Ye’s shoulder and said, “They say a soldier who has never been to the battlefield isn’t a true soldier. If you want to be a true soldier, give it some serious thought. I’ll be around for the next couple of days, feel free toe find me anytime!”


    Wang Ye didn’t say anything, but he did turn to look at him.


    Watching his departing figure, to be honest, at that moment, Wang Ye had the urge to call him back.


    But this impulse was quickly extinguished by Wang Ye himself.


    Special forces were impressive and indeed honorable.


    However, behind that honory the hardships that were hard for ordinary people to imagine.


    Although Wang Ye was a reincarnator, being reborn didn’t mean he wasn’t a normal person anymore.


    He would still feel pain when injured and humiliation when someone rode over him.


    Not in a hurry to return, Wang Ye felt a bit restless inside. He watched ck Fox’s figure as it remained visible in the distance and then turned to sit down on the side.


    He reached into his pocket and pulled out a partially opened pack of cigarettes from his spatial storage. After taking one out, he lit it with a lighter.


    With his head lowered, he contemted thest words ck Fox had spoken…


    Suddenly, Wang Ye heard footsteps approaching.


    He looked up and saw Wu Jianfeng.


    “Did he want you to join the special forces?”


    Wu Jianfeng sat down beside Wang Ye without hesitation, and as he spoke, he smoothly reached over and took the cigarettes and lighter from Wang Ye’s hand. He lit one and then casually stashed both the cigarette and lighter in his own pocket.


    Wang Ye watched his actions with amusement, but he didn’t protest about the cigarettes and lighter bing Wu Jianfeng’s possessions. He knew that once they were in this guy’s pocket, they were as good as his.


    Wu Jianfeng spoke directly, “Did he want you to join the special forces?”


    “Yes,” Wang Ye replied.


    “Did you agree?”


    “No,” Wang Ye answered.


    “Why not? If you want to go, I won’t stop you. You’ve brought enough honor to our Fourth Company and our regiment. If you really want to join the special forces, rest assured, we won’t stand in your way.”


    Wang Ye shook his head, “It’s not that, I just feel like I’m not suitable.”


    Immediately, Wang Ye repeated the conversation he had with ck Fox.


    Wu Jianfeng was surprised, but then he nodded and said, “Indeed, what you’re saying is true. Special forces are a ce for freaks, but to turn someone into a freak, there’s definitely a freakish way to do it. However…” He chuckled as he continued.


    “You’re quiteposed, kid. Did you already know he woulde to find you, or did you consider this possibility beforehand? Otherwise, how could youe up with all of this so quickly?” Wu Jianfeng asked.


    “Hehe, you could say that,” Wang Ye chuckled, not hiding anything from him. “Before enlisting, I did some research, and just this afternoon when I went to see the battalionmander, that staff officer also mentioned it.”


    “No wonder!” Wu Jianfeng leaned back, propping himself up with one hand while holding a cigarette in the other. He looked up at the sky and suddenly spoke with a touch of nostalgia in his voice, “Actually, I once tried out for the special forces, but unfortunately, I got eliminated.”


    With a slight smile, he turned to look at Wang Ye and continued, “Honestly, 1 still have some regrets about it to this day. But my thoughts won’t be imposed on you. Special forces are just one branch in our military, and every branch has its own necessity. There’s nothing wrong with staying in regr forces.”


    He shifted his tone, saying, “However, you don’t have much time left. ording to our n, you’re supposed to go to the military academy next year. If you want to be a special forces soldier, you’ll need to join the special forces before going to the academy. That way, you can directly enroll in a military academy that specializes in training for special forces. Of course, if you don’t want to go that route, you can stick to our original n.”


    “Yeah, I understand,” Wang Ye replied.


    At this moment, Wang Ye’s thoughts became even moreplex due to Wu Jianfeng’s words.


    He nced at Wu Jianfeng beside him.


    Wang Ye didn’t expect that Wu Jianfeng had once tried out for the special forces.


    “Captain, what is the special forces selection process like?” Unable to hold back his curiosity, Wang Ye asked.


    Exhaling a puff of smoke, Wu Jianfeng turned his head to look at Wang Ye again. “It’s brutal and painful,” he began, “but I can’t go into detail about these things. If you want to know, you can actually try it when the timees.”


    Wu Jianfeng chuckled and added, “Participating in the selection process doesn’t necessarily mean you have to be a special forces soldier. Even if you have the skills to pass the selection, you can still choose to give up in the end.”


    As he spoke, Wu Jianfeng suddenly sat up straight and looked at Wang Ye. He said, “Wang Ye, I just had a great idea. What do you think about giving it a try?”


    “Yeah?” Wang Ye didn’t know what n he had in mind and looked a bit puzzled.


    Without hesitation, Wu Jianfeng continued, “Our n was to have you go to the reconnaissance unit for training, right? I think instead of going to the reconnaissance unit, why not consider going to the special forces?”


    He eagerly proposed, “What do you think? Would you like to spend a few months there to gain some experience?”


    Wu Jianfeng became more enthusiastic as he spoke and didn’t wait for Wang Ye’s response. He added, “They say that knowing your enemy is the key to victory. Often, we simte exercises against special forces as our opponents. If you could really go to the special forces and learn for three months, it would be like infiltrating the enemy’s ranks for study. It would be of great help to you in the future!”


    “Is that… is that possible?” Wang Ye’s eyes widened.


    Honestly, at that moment, Wang Ye felt tempted.


    It was only three months, no matter how tough or exhausting it might be, it was just three months. However, Wang Ye couldn’t help but doubt the feasibility of Wu Jianfeng’s idea.. After all, he wasn’t part of the Iron Bone Heroes’ Reconnaissance Company or even from his own regiment, so why would they let him go for training?
