“As soldiers, you should conduct yourselves accordingly. How can you look like qualified soldiers if you don’t even know how to fold a blanket properly? The appearance of a soldier reflects their adherence to rules and regulations,” Ye Sanshi admonished.

In the dormitory, Ye Sanshi didn’t leave after his return. Instead, he paced back and forth with a serious expression, watching everyone as they continued to memorize the rules.

Naturally, Wang Ye’s approach caught his attention. While others copied the simplified handwritten versions of the regulations, Wang Ye used the original text.

Wang Ye had explained that he had marked specific areas and wanted to familiarize himself with the rest.

Ye Sanshi simply said, “Focus on memorizing the marked sections first, then familiarize yourselves with the rest.”

Wang Ye’s efforts in the morning resulted in the system reflecting: Decree LV1 (4/10).

Reading the entire book of regulations was time-consuming. Wang Ye couldn’t skim through ten lines at a time, so he had to read carefully, limiting his progress.

…..

Nonetheless, Wang Ye was content. It was already four o’clock in the morning, so his progress wasn’t slow.

During lunch, Wang Ye noticed that many recruits from other classes seemed weary.

Deng Hai, who had been sipping tea by the side last night, couldn’t even pick up his chopsticks and had lost his appetite.

Wang Ye silently smiled to himself. He didn’t reject the memorization task anymore.

In fact, for those who had experienced society, even if they were poor students in the past, they would appreciate the opportunity to read books again. After experiencing the trials of the real world, one would come to understand that studying was a genuinely enjoyable pursuit. Unfortunately, by the time people realized this, they had often missed the chance.

“Start folding your blankets. You can find a spot in the corridor or the bathroom, but you mustn’t leave the building. Also, maintain absolute silence. I’ll check in an hour. If you’ve made satisfactory progress, you can go to bed. Otherwise…”

Ye Sanshi didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone understood the implied consequences.

No one protested because they had no right to refuse.

“Alright, get to it!”

Ye Sanshi returned to his bed and sat down, ready to take a nap.

While the recruits weren’t allowed to sleep, Ye Sanshi, as the squad leader, could take a brief rest. After all, he didn’t have to fold his blanket.

Wang Ye glanced at those retrieving their blankets and quickly instructed, “The four of you head to the water room to secure seats. I’ll guard the corridor at the door. The two of you on the upper bunk can come out later, and we’ll fold our blankets in the corridor.”

Wang Ye, as the deputy class monitor, diligently carried out his duties. He paid careful attention to Ye Sanshi’s instructions.

As expected, Ye Sanshi, who was about to remove his shoes, raised his head and looked at Wang Ye. He didn’t say a word, but his expression and eyes revealed a hint of surprise and satisfaction.

This wasn’t his first time leading new recruits, but previously, even if the vice-captain was eventually selected, they wouldn’t have been so adaptable.

“Yes, sir!” several members of the fifth squad responded. They glanced at Wang Ye and quickly retrieved their blankets before leaving.

Under Wang Ye’s guidance, everyone swiftly occupied their spots in the water room and corridor.

“I say, Brother Wang, vice-class monitor, your blanket is so neatly folded. How did you do it?”

In the corridor, Qin Li, who occupied the upper bunk, stood beside Wang Ye, his voice hushed with curiosity.

“Your hands have to be steady and meticulous. Look at me, I’m pressing bit by bit. Pay attention to the air trapped inside the blanket. When pressing, do it gradually, moving the folds slightly each time. Be careful not to displace the air in the cotton filling. Otherwise, the result won’t be satisfactory!” Wang Ye whispered in response.

Wang Ye, who had perfected the art of folding blankets, was an expert in the field. He held nothing back and shared his knowledge.

A class was a team, and he was the vice-class monitor. It was his responsibility to ensure everyone performed their tasks well. Helping them was part of his duty.

“Let me give it a try!” Qin Li eagerly replied, turning back to his bed.

Wang Ye didn’t say anything else. There was no need to repeat the instructions now. Once Qin Li folded his blanket and placed it on the bed, he would teach the method to everyone else. It saved time and effort.

…

Time passed.

Wang Ye spent over 20 minutes folding his blanket before he began the fixing process.

With utmost care, Wang Ye lifted the neatly folded blanket.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Li, who watched Wang Ye closely, asked in confusion.

“I’ll fix it on the bed. Folding it here, then carrying it will disrupt the blanket’s shape!”

Wang Ye explained, carrying the blanket with caution as he entered the dormitory.

Inside the dormitory, four recruits remained, but Wang Ye paid them no mind. He carefully placed the blanket by his bed.

Then, he began cultivating silently.

Time ticked away.

During this period, the recruits in the dormitory couldn’t contain their curiosity any longer.

They saw it happen right before their eyes.

Wang Ye’s blanket had truly transformed into a work of art.

It was just as flawlessly folded as the blanket folded by the class monitor, if not slightly thicker.

“Vice-class monitor, how did you do it? The blanket is incredible!”

“That’s right! It’s astonishing. Can you teach us?”

In the dormitory, a few recruits halted their activities and quietly gathered around Wang Ye.

Outside the dormitory, even new recruits peeped through the entrance.

“Wait, let me fix it one last time. Now you can observe the fixing process!” Wang Ye whispered. As he spoke, his hands didn’t stop moving.

Nearly 40 minutes had passed since the blanket was initially folded.

For those not in the military, it might be hard to comprehend that folding a blanket could take 40 minutes.

However, in the eyes of the fifth squad recruits, this blanket was a marvel.

If they could complete folding a blanket within 40 minutes, they would rush to Ye Sanshi’s bed, wake him up, and present their masterpiece to him.

Sadly, their abilities fell short of their ambitions.

Their limitations hindered their temperaments.

“Done?” Ye Sanshi’s voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Having just woken up from his nap, Ye Sanshi turned to look and was taken aback to find the recruits standing together instead of folding their blankets as instructed.

At that moment, Ye Sanshi, still groggy from his nap, felt a surge of irritation.

“Uh…”

“Report… We were learning how to fold blankets!”

“That’s right! Class monitor, look how well Brother Wang folded the blanket!”
