“Very good, Wang Ye, right?”

“Yes, sir!”

“You’re not bad. Go out. Just head downstairs!”

“Yes, sir!”

Wang Ye did not say anything else and turned around to run to the door.

The moment he left the door, Wang Ye was actually a little disappointed, because at that moment, his consciousness moved and he checked his mission. Two of the mission requirements were still not completed. The class monitor didn’t look at him in a new light just because he woke up so quickly and was the first to respond.

“Hiss…”

As soon as the door opened, Wang Ye was frozen by the cold wind blowing in his face in the early morning.

Rubbing his face, Wang Ye no longer cared about the mission.

There was still time and plenty of other opportunities he could take. They should gather first.

He ran from the corridor to the stairwell.

At this moment, Wang Ye the dormitories were noisy with activity. However, no one had appeared outside yet. At least on the second floor, Wang Ye was the first to come out.

He ran to the corridor and went downstairs.

“That soldier, come over…”

Wang Ye went downstairs and stood at the entrance of the corridor, preparing to find out where to gather. However, he didn’t need to search carefully as he spotted a figure under the streetlight outside holding a rolled-up belt. It was the company commander he had met yesterday, Wu Jianfeng.

Wang Ye ran to him and saluted.

Logically speaking, Wang Ye only needed to shout for the report.

However, Wang Ye had a mission.

He didn’t know how many chances he would have to interact with the captain in the next few days. Therefore, he had to seize every opportunity to make him remember his name. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he would throw himself out there first.

Wu Jianfeng didn’t feel that it was inappropriate for Wang Ye to introduce himself.

“Very good. You took less than two minutes. Have you received military training before?”

As the commander of a new recruit company, he was very clear about the fact that there were no soldiers in his company who had joined the army before.

However, if there were soldiers under him, he was not sure if they had received irregular military training in the past.

“No, Sir!”

“Oh, then you’re not bad.” The captain praised again and then added, “Are you from class five? What was your name again? Wang?”

It was obvious that even though Wang Ye had introduced himself just now, the company commander hadn’t listened attentively at all.

However, he was asking now.

“Captain, I’m Wang Ye.” Wang Ye quickly said, “Reporting to the company commander, my name is Wang Ye.”

Wang Ye introduced himself very carefully this time.

He wanted to make sure that the commander, who seemed to be pretending to have a short memory, remembered his name.

The captain patted him on the shoulder, saying, “Not bad, Wang Ye. I’ll remember you. New recruit, do your best. I have high hopes for you.” Wu Jianfeng said with a smile.

The captain was optimistic but not overly so, as he had to maintain the recruits’ enthusiasm. He would have said and done the same thing to any recruit who had ran out fast enough.

However, he couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the new recruits.

Besides, compliments were free. It was also what a company commander should do to encourage the recruits.

“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye saluted again with an excited expression.

It wasn’t because of the captain’s praise and encouragement.

He was reborn, and his real age was not any younger than this company commander.

His social experience was undoubtedly better than this 2009 company commander, who had not been exposed to the internet’s information explosion and had been in the army all this time. He was a veteran in society, and empty encouragement wouldn’t excite him. However, he was thrilled because a message popped up in his mind.

Mission Requirement: Make the company commander remember your name within one to three days (Completed).

Although he was the first one to get up and leave the house, the class monitor didn’t treat him differently. However, after he ran out, the company commander remembered his name, which was a silver lining.

After another ten seconds, more recruits ran down from the corridor, running in panic. The veteran squad leaders were furious and kept shouting at the recruits to hurry up and line up properly. Many of the recruits’ clothes were not buttoned up properly, and some even ran down the stairs without putting on their shoes properly.

“Quick, quick, quick, what are you waiting for?”

“Damn it, do you think this is still your house? Get up!”

“Quick, quick…”

Furious roars kept coming from the dormitory. This was the anger of the veteran squad leaders.

The recruits on the other side of the corridor were like ducks that had been chased out of their cages. There were many recruits running along the corridor, but their clothes were not buttoned up properly.

Some of them even ran down the stairs when they haven’t even put on their shoes properly.

The situation was chaotic.

“Shh!”

The company commander’s face was livid, and he no longer had the smile he had when facing Wang Ye.

He blew the whistle a few times with his mouth, shocking the group of recruits who seemed to be sleepwalking. After running down, they didn’t know where to stand or where to go.

“Line up and stand properly. Let’s see what you look like. Do you look like soldiers?” he barked at them. “You guys make me feel ashamed. I, Wu Jianfeng, have never seen soldiers in such a sorry state. Hurry up!”

As he spoke, Wu Jianfeng noticed a soldier standing on the side, not knowing where to go. He raised his leg and kicked him.

In the current era, the army still operated in a rough and unpolished manner, with no strict rules prohibiting physical punishment.

At the moment, the veterans had not come down yet. The scene was filled with new recruits. Everyone was not familiar with each other and had yet to gather as a company, making it difficult to determine their location.

Even Wang Ye, who was the first to leave the dormitory, didn’t know where to stand. However, he quickly took charge and chose a spot in the middle of the road, leaving enough distance for the other recruits to stand.

He shouted, “Class Five, come to me!”

“Coming, coming!”

In the crowd, there were indeed recruits from the fifth squad. When they heard Wang Ye’s voice, they seemed to have found their backbone and immediately ran over.

Wang Ye’s prompt action set a benchmark for the other recruits, and they quickly followed suit. Someone stood on Wang Ye’s left side and shouted, “Class 3, come to me!” They left a spot in the middle for the recruits to stand.

“Seventh class…”

“Second class…”

The chaotic team suddenly became even more chaotic because many soldiers were hurriedly looking for their respective class seats.

Therefore, they were rushing around randomly. However, this chaos was quickly adjusted.

With a center and a goal, everyone was no longer confused about where they were going. Naturally, they quickly found their position.

The chaotic situation became even more chaotic as the soldiers hurriedly searched for their respective class seats, but the chaos was quickly sorted out. With a center and a goal, everyone found their position quickly.

Wu Jianfeng watched everything unfold and repeated Wang Ye’s name in his heart. He admired Wang Ye more and more, as he was highly efficient in carrying out orders and quickly sorted out the chaotic situation. He was a soldier with great potential and spirit.

This time, Wu Jianfeng really remembered Wang Ye completely and gave him an additional impression.

Of course, Wu Jianfeng didn’t show it at this time, nor did he say anything. He maintained a livid expression and blew the whistle from time to time.

Finally, some veterans started coming down the stairs.

Today’s situation was intentionally set up. The veterans did not come down because their mission was to get everyone in the class to come out. As for the recruits going downstairs, they didn’t know where to stand and couldn’t find their location. This was the first test for the recruits, and it would be an excuse for Wu Jianfeng to lose his temper later.
