[Mission Reminder: Prove yourself. How can you only prove yourself in internal affairs? You have been awarded the title of Training Model. Reward: 2 skill points.]

Upon hearing the news from Ye Sanshi, Wang Ye checked the system and saw that the skill points had indeed been added.

This moment brought a new mission for him.

He had been awarded the title of Training Model.

To be honest, Wang Ye felt a bit pressured.

Just consider the three-kilometer run. Some of the recruits were truly like livestock. Last week, the fastest time was 11 minutes and 20 seconds.

This morning, despite being provoked by the company commander, Sixth Brother, and pushing himself hard, Wang Ye would have finished the entire run in just over twelve minutes if Sixth Brother hadn’t already set the bar high. But that wasn’t enough for today.

Being a Training Model meant that he had to set a benchmark in all kinds of training.

In other words, he had to achieve top rankings in most training activities, if not all, to earn this evaluation.

Those two skill points wouldn’t be easy to earn. However, it wasn’t that Wang Ye lacked confidence.

He had only been in the army for ten days, yet he had already grown so much. With his cheating and accelerated growth, who could compare to him?

There was still time for him to improve. Wang Ye was absolutely confident that he could complete this mission.

Time passed. Despite the two pieces of good news Ye Sanshi delivered in the morning, they didn’t offset the rigorous training they endured.

After a brief celebration, it was back to training.

They continued their formation exercises, occasionally incorporating three-step moves.

As before, the training pace frustrated Wang Ye. He couldn’t complete the necessary steps to gain experience. Thankfully, his military posture was still excellent.

Before lunch, Ye Sanshi instructed everyone to return to the dormitory a bit earlier.

He wanted them to see the still moving red flag hanging in the dormitory. He also wanted them to take note of the Internal Affairs Model sign on Wang Ye’s bed at the head of the room.

“Go wash up. After that, go to bed early tonight. I won’t arrange any additional training for you!”

It was Friday the 18th, half a month since their enlistment.

Tonight seemed a bit different. Roll call had just taken place, and it was delayed, but it was only roll call. There was no extra training for the three-kilometer run or other physical activities.

Now, back in the dormitory, Ye Sanshi confirmed this. Everyone was taken aback.

For the past week, Ye Sanshi had never allowed them to go to bed on time after lights out.

They all had additional training based on their individual circumstances. If they couldn’t do pull-ups, they did push-ups instead. Those who struggled with running focused on squats.

While the official count was set at 50, they sometimes held squats for extended periods or remained in push-up position without moving.

Every night, they trained for at least ten minutes before being allowed to sleep. But tonight…

“Class monitor, what’s happening tomorrow?”

“What’s going on?”

“I have a bad feeling about this!” Gu Yingnan was the first to voice his impatience. He looked at Ye Sanshi, who was about to grab his toiletries, and asked.

The others also looked at Ye Sanshi, curious about his strange behavior.

“Hehe, it’s good news, actually. It’s definitely good news for all of you!” “Hmm?” The confusion on their faces persisted. Some impatient ones even wanted to pry Ye Sanshi’s mouth open to make him speak.

Why keep them in suspense?

“In fact, it’s just a follow-up.” Ye Sanshi finally put an end to their suspense.

“You all knew before enlisting that there would be two physical examinations. We’ve only done it once at the camp, and now the second one is coming. Tomorrow, we’ll organize everyone to go to the division hospital for the physical examination!”

“Oh!”

“That’s what it is!”

“You scared us. We thought something was wrong, like in those TV dramas where the death row inmate gets a lavish last meal.”

“A physical examination is great. No more training!” someone exclaimed with a grin.

From Wang Ye’s observation, there shouldn’t be any soldiers in the fifth class who entered using underhanded methods. They had all passed the physical examination legitimately.

Therefore, no one was too worried about the upcoming physical examination.

On the contrary, they breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. In fact, some secretly wished for something to be wrong with their examination. If that were the case, they could go home!

They wouldn’t be deserters, and there would be no consequences or negative outcomes for leaving.

This extravagant hope had crossed the minds of many recruits in the entire company.

Within half a month, many had already regretted their decision to join the army.

However, the punishment for desertion was too severe. Even if they regretted it, no one dared to consider that path.

And now, here was an opportunity for everyone to regret.

However, only a few would be selected for this opportunity.

“Ouch!”

In the middle of the night, a muffled cry broke the silence of the dormitory. Wang Ye, who was sound asleep, immediately woke up.

It wasn’t the noise that woke him up, but rather someone stepping on him again.

Rubbing his eyes and sitting up, Wang Ye looked at Qin Li, who was lying on the bed frame at the foot of the bed. He reached out and massaged Qin Li’s calf. “This is the second time. If you do it three more times, we’ll switch. I’ll sleep on top, and you’ll sleep on the bottom. Then, I’ll step on you every day!”

“Hehe, sorry, sorry, Brother Wang. I was just careless. The main thing is that everyone’s asleep.”

In a hushed voice, Qin Li apologized with a smile.

“Forget it,” Wang Ye replied, not bothered by it.

Qin Li didn’t say anything more. He simply smiled apologetically, put on his slippers, and walked over to Ye Sanshi’s bed.

“Class monitor… Class monitor… I need to use the restroom.”

Recruits had to report when they needed to use the restroom at night.

Though it was inconvenient for the class monitor and might disrupt their sleep, it was a rule that had to be followed.

Of course, before lights out, the squad leaders would let the recruits from their own squads use the restroom first so that everyone could sleep until morning.

“Okay, go ahead!”

Ye Sanshi opened his eyes slightly but closed them again.

Wang Ye sat on his bed, annoyed at being woken up by a kick. Now that he heard Qin Li wanted to use the restroom, he felt even more irritated.

He stood up immediately. Under Qin Li’s watchful gaze, Wang Ye said in a low voice, “You woke me up. I need to pee too!”

Then, he whispered to Ye Sanshi, “Class monitor, I need to use the restroom too!”

“Alright, go!”

Ye Sanshi didn’t even open his eyes this time.

“Let’s go!”

Wang Ye nudged Qin Li forward.
