Wang Ye actually didn’t have to eat.

He had the systems storage system, and he could transfer the beef.

But that time, Wang Ye didn’t cheat and stubbornly ate it all.

The main reason was that Wang Ye didn’t know how much training the reconnaissance platoon would have in the morning. Without eating meat, his strength and stamina wouldn’t recover well.

Although his physical fitness was high at the time, it also meant that he had to eat more to replenish his energy.

Wang Ye finished the meal in three or four minutes.

So did the others.

“Have you all finished eating? Gather outside the canteen!” Jiang Nan also put down his chopsticks.

No one said anything. Everyone quickly got up, without washing their dishes and chopsticks, and gathered on the spot outside the canteen, picking up their backpacks and equipment.

“We are reconnaissance soldiers. What is a reconnaissance soldier?

We were the closest to war within the regular troops, and once the war came, we were the first batch of soldiers to go!” On the steps outside the canteen, Jiang Nan looked around and shouted.

Wang Ye knew he was speaking to him.

After all, everyone else was not newcomers.

Jiang Nan continued seriously, “As reconnaissance soldiers, the dangers and challenges we encountered far exceeded those of any other branch of the military, including the special forces many of you admired!”

After a pause, Jiang Nan glanced at Wang Ye again and said, “Special forces might carry out various operations only when the situation between us and the enemy is well-defined and there is certain intelligence available.

But we, on the other hand, have to enter unfamiliar battlefields with almost no intelligence at the slightest sign of any activity. Why?”

He stared with wide eyes, this time directly addressing Wang Ye, “Wang Ye, do you know why?”

“Report, because we were reconnaissance soldiers, and gathering various kinds of intelligence is our responsibility.” Even if it was Wang Ye’s first day as a reconnaissance soldier, he could answer this question.

“Yes!” Jiang Nan nodded and continued loudly, “So, becoming a reconnaissance soldier is very dangerous, but it is also very honorable. We are the vanguard on the battlefield. In order for us to survive as much as possible and complete our missions, the training we undergo is even more brutal!

Wang Ye!”

He called Wang Ye’s name again.

“Go!”

“Are you mentally prepared?”

“Always prepared!” Wang Ye responded loudly.

“Very well!”

“Squad Leader!” Jiang Nan looked at the squad leader next to him and called his name.

“Here!” An Ping responded immediately.

Jiang Nan looked at him and spoke, “A new member has joined. Give your squad a week to get used to each other!”

“Yes!”

An Ping responded loudly again.

Wang Ye stayed silent.

Naturally, he understood what Jiang Nan meant by “getting used to each other,” but he didn’t want to stubbornly report that it wasn’t necessary right now.

He knew nothing about reconnaissance training, and reporting that there was no need for adjustment would just make him seem foolish.

It wasn’t something to be embarrassed about, and a week of adjustment would be best.

“Second Platoon Leader!” Jiang Nan no longer focused on the first squad and turned to the second platoon in the rear.

“Here!”

The second platoon leader responded with a stern face.

“Dismiss!”

“Yes!”

It was tough, but the second platoon leader had to give the order with a stern face and call the second platoon out of formation.

Watching the second platoon leave, Jiang Nan continued, “First squad, you can go too!”

“Yes!”

An Ping also made a sound.

Shortly after, An Ping left the formation, and Wang Ye and the others followed.

“Hehe, we can relax for a week now!”

“Wang Ye, you really are a lucky star!”

On the way out, Wang Ye heard the quiet laughter from Qu Shuang, who was walking beside him.

Wang Ye turned to give him a smile.

“You’re the first one to praise me like this!”

Wang Ye whispered back softly.

Clearly, his words had caught Qu Shuang off guard.

Wang Ye smiled and remained silent.

As he walked on, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

“In this world, there are still people with keen eyes!”

Looking back, when he first joined the Fourth Company, those guys treated him like a jinx.

Even when he went to the training camp, those guys knew that he was in the same batch as them, and some secretly cursed their bad luck.

Being praised as a lucky star by comrades who were neither officers nor squad leaders as soon as he got in touch with them was truly a first for Wang Ye.

Soon, the first squad was taken back to the dormitory building.

They first went to the armory to return their gear and then entered the dormitory.

“Hurry up, you have three minutes, unpack your backpacks and put your equipment in place,” An Ping issued the first command.

This command made everyone happy on the spot. Even when they were making their beds, someone in the dormitory laughed and said, “It would be great if we could have a new recruit every week!”

From their perspective, today, thanks to Wang Ye’s arrival, they were able to have a much more comfortable time.

Looking at other platoons, they were still fully armed and hadn’t returned yet.

The second platoon was probably already on the training ground in their duck march, and the remaining members of the first platoon and the third platoon had most likely gone straight to training, but they were able to come back and take off their gear now.

And if the process went smoothly, following the adjustment period typically given to new recruits each year, their training workload for this week would definitely be greatly reduced, and sometimes, they might just have to observe.

Feeling content, it was like having a wonderful vacation.

They didn’t think about the future.

Reconnaissance soldiers were tired, and every comfortable day was cherished.

Moreover, in their minds, they were already training at the limit almost every day.

With Wang Ye’s arrival, even if Wang Ye was a freak, they wouldn’t be more tired or strained than before..
