“This blanket appears new, but it doesn’t feel like cotton!”

“Don’t tell me they’ve changed the filling?” muttered the class monitor. As he spoke, he glanced at the instructor and Wu Jianfeng.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Wu Jianfeng said, walking directly toward Wang Ye’s bed.

Upon closer inspection of Class 5’s dormitory, one could clearly see three distinct grades of blankets on the beds.

The quilt on the left side of the door was folded the best, with neatly arranged filling. However, despite its appearance, it seemed to be an old quilt, most likely Ye Sanshi’s bed. As for the remaining blankets, Wang Ye’s stood out as the most beautiful.

Although it was slightly inflated, the shape and edges of the filling were still well-defined.

The other students’ blankets were also decent, resembling blocks of tofu, but they were more inflated with rounded edges and corners. The inspection naturally focused on finding the best-folded blanket other than the class monitor’s.

Soon, Wu Jianfeng opened Wang Ye’s blanket.

The cotton filling was exposed. The pure white cotton was instantly recognizable. Was it truly new?

“How did you fold it like this?” the class leaders were dumbfounded.

They honestly admitted to themselves that if they were the ones folding the blanket, they wouldn’t have been confident in achieving such precision. After all, it was a new blanket.

Was Ye Sanshi truly that skilled?

The group of class leaders suddenly felt a bit flustered.

They recalled Ye Sanshi’s calm demeanor earlier.

Could it be that the new recruit had folded it under his guidance?

Did Ye Sanshi possess a better understanding and ability than everyone else when it came to folding blankets?

No one knew, as being old squad leaders themselves, they all had a high level of expertise in folding quilts.

Their blankets were all properly pressed. When folded normally, there wouldn’t be much difference.

“Let’s check the cores of the other blankets!” quickly spoke one of the class leaders.

In fact, if there was enough time, he would have suggested washing the blankets along with their cores. He could’ve checked if they still had the ability to fold them properly. But such a shameless thought could only remain in his mind.

Of course, he couldn’t wash them. To be on the safe side, he would check the blankets by opening them and shaking them a few times.

Class 5’s blankets had only been pressed for two days, so it was impossible for them to be completely compressed.

If he did it, not only would they not be fluffy after washing, but they might even become more inflated.

…

“Class monitor, why did you call us back?” Gu Yingnan couldn’t help but ask as they walked towards the dormitory building, following Ye Sanshi. He hadn’t reported anything, yet Ye Sanshi seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face.

Ye Sanshi turned around with a wide smile, not minding that Gu Yingnan hadn’t reported. “It’s time to showcase your abilities.”

Ye Sanshi stopped walking and addressed the students of Class 5, “Line up!”

Everyone promptly lined up.

Ye Sanshi didn’t waste time and went straight to the point. “Just now, the company commander and the instructor conducted an internal affairs evaluation on us!”

“Did we pass the evaluation?” Gu Yingnan asked, looking surprised.

“No, but we were fast!” Ye Sanshi’s smile didn’t fade.

He looked at everyone and decided not to keep them in suspense this time, revealing all the details of what had happened.

Class 5’s students had various reactions.

“Damn, they actually suspected us?”

“Class monitor, why are we still standing here? Let’s go back and help you prove them wrong. Did someone really eat your blanket?”

“He even ate the blanket? Mine will be given to him later. I haven’t showered in the past two days, so it has a slight smell!”

“Hehe, Old Liang, didn’t you even wash your feet last night? If they eat your blanket, I’m afraid it would be poisonous!”

“Haha!”

Everyone in Class 5 laughed, including Ye Sanshi, who didn’t hide the smile on his face.

However, he quickly regained his composure. “Alright, settle down now!”

After shouting to quiet everyone, he continued, “I must emphasize, don’t mess up later.”

“Yes, I promise to fulfill the mission!”

This time, without Wang Ye taking the lead, the recruits stood at attention and collectively shouted their commitment.

It was time to prove themselves.

Moreover, they were doing it in front of the company commander. More importantly, they could show up the class leaders from other classes. How satisfying would that be? “Yes!” Ye Sanshi nodded with a smile and looked at Wang Ye. “Vice Class Monitor Wang, keep an eye on them.”

“I may not be able to help, but you can. Put in more effort and bring out everyone’s full potential.”

“Yes, 1 promise to fulfill the mission!”

Wang Ye was also excited about the upcoming opportunity to shine.

How could a vice class monitor be content with just being in the background? This was his chance!

“Mission Reminder: Prove yourself and demonstrate your abilities. You have been awarded the title of ‘Internal Affairs Model’ and one skill point.”

The sudden mission notification in his mind briefly stunned him, but then he clenched his fists.

Perfect timing! That little skill point was exactly what he needed.

“Alright, enough talk. Everyone must give it their all. This is your first battle since joining the army.”

Ye Sanshi stopped smiling and looked at everyone seriously. “Treat it like a battle that must be won, understood?”

“Yes, sir!” Everyone stopped smiling and replied loudly.

Ye Sanshi didn’t need to use harsh words this time because he believed his recruits weren’t fools and would understand what he meant.

This was a battle. If they won, they would have better food and privileges. But if they lost? If they lost the battle, it could mean their lives.

Soon, Class 5 set off again.

Two to three minutes later, they arrived at the dormitory building and entered without a word.

“Report!”

Ye Sanshi stood in front of Wang Ye and the others, while two squad leaders stood outside the dormitory door. Wu Jianfeng and the instructor were absent.

Wang Ye and the others looked at the two squad leaders, and they, too, glanced back.

Of course, no communication took place.

“Enter!” came Wu Jianfeng’s voice from inside.

“Follow me!” Ye Sanshi whispered and walked into the dormitory first.

Wang Ye and the others quickly followed suit.

As they entered the dormitory, they were initially annoyed by what they saw. It looked as if a thief had ransacked their dormitory.

What happened to the results of their efforts from the struggle that began at four o’clock in the morning?

Everything was in disarray on the beds. Even Ye Sanshi was dumbfounded. This was too much. Look at the mess on the blankets.

In other dormitories, they could at least open and inspect them. But in their class, the blankets seemed like they were about to be rolled into balls.

Shameless!

“Company Commander, did a tornado hit Class 5’s blankets?” Ye Sanshi glared at Wu Jianfeng and Kang Hua.

“Uh… Cough…” Wu Jianfeng felt a bit embarrassed. “Well, 1 went to the restroom with the instructor, and when we returned, it was like this!”

It was obviously a lie. The main reason was that he wanted to see the situation in Class 5.

The more disorderly the blankets were, the better he could observe.

He hadn’t thought much about it earlier, but now, with Ye Sanshi and Class 5 looking at him that way, he felt awkward and embarrassed.
