He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

As if all his years of learning and practice had finally come in handy, he waved his hand and began to explain at length.

Zhang Beixing nodded, ready to listen attentively. Seeing Wang Wei's confident demeanor, he was clearly pleasantly surprised.

“From a species perspective, ducks are of course a type of bird. Not only ducks, but also the chickens and geese we raise on our farm are birds.”

"Poultry, 'poultry' originally refers to birds, but they have been domesticated by humans over a long period of time. But their essence remains unchanged; they all belong to the order Anatidae of the class Aves."

"So you've come to the right person. I can tell you with absolute certainty that ducks are birds!" Wang Wei said with great enthusiasm.

"Oh, oh, oh." Zhang Beixing nodded.

But for some reason, Wang Wei always felt that Zhang Beixing's actions were full of perfunctory attitude.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to call my boss to report the situation. If something really goes wrong, I can't afford to take responsibility for all these ducks."

Wang Wei patted his behind, got up, and walked away with a melancholy look on his face.

Zhang Beixing didn't follow, but watched Wang Wei leave before turning back to the duck shed.

Since the female duck also belongs to the class Aves, his title of "King of Birds" can naturally come in handy. With the two people present before, Zhang Beixing had been somewhat more reserved. Now that no one was around, Zhang Beixing, who had been on the farm for so long he was practically growing hair, couldn't stay still any longer.

As soon as he entered the duck shed, Zhang Beixing's title took effect under his mental command. The quacking sounds of the ducks, though still sounds, became clear to Zhang Beixing.

"Ugh, it's so hot in the shed! When are these poop scoopers going to install air conditioning for us? Don't they know laying eggs is tiring? If they're so capable, they should lay the eggs themselves!"

"My stomach is bloated and I can't digest it. I really want to go for a walk!"

"Cluck cluck! Female ducks have duck rights too. Why are there no male ducks here? You wretched humans, so selfish! I'll fight you! Come on, one-on-one!"

"..."

Listening to the countless negative comments from the female ducks coming from all directions, Zhang Beixing nodded slightly, suddenly realizing that he understood where the problem of reduced duck egg production lay.

So these female ducks have eaten too much and are just too idle!

Hmm, we need to get things done.

Why stir up trouble?
That's not important, the important thing is to be happy.

While entertaining the farmers, Zhang Beixing also felt it was his duty to solve their urgent problems.

Indeed, gold shines wherever it goes!
You guys won't let me lead troops into battle anymore, right? Well, can't I at least take the ducks for a walk?
The farm is so big, and they're taking thousands of ducks for a walk in a row. If He Zhijun and Lao Fan found out about that scene, tsk tsk, just thinking about it gives them a headache!

Zhang Beixing became happier and happier as he thought about it, and immediately took action, opening the gates of the duck pen one by one, and all the ducks happily crawled out from inside.

Looking at the vast flock of ducks before him, Zhang Beixing immediately waved his hand, a smile playing on his lips, and issued a command in a deep voice.

"Attention all combat teams! Assemble in squads and platoons!"

They marched proudly and confidently over the farm's fence.

Led by Zhang Beixing, the mother ducks, forming a fighting group, marched in neat formation toward the grassland.

—Gagaga!

Within the flock, the mother ducks continuously emitted cheerful calls, stretched their necks and sang, flapping their wings and soaring through the ranks, with duck feathers flying everywhere, yet not a single one cut in line or fell behind, creating a harmonious scene.

"The air outside is so fresh, what should I do if I suddenly feel like laying an egg?"

"Look at those hens over there, they all look so silly and dull."

"Cluck cluck cluck, a hundred steps after a meal, ninety-nine eggs will be laid!"

"Lord Duck King is the best! Long live the King!"

Listening to the ducks' whispers, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but chuckle.

Damn it! If I were bored on the farm, would I need to play this skillfully?
After leading the mother ducks to the grassland, Zhang Beixing waved his hand and ordered them to rest on the spot.

The mother ducks clucked and scattered, but instead of attacking the vegetable gardens around them, they obediently spread out around the pasture, diligently searching for insects and earthworms in the grass and soil with their beaks, having a great time.

Zhang Beixing took out a comic book, calmly found a clean patch of grass, and lay down.

Basking in the soft glow of the rising sun, leisurely reading comics—this is the epitome of perfect, carefree enjoyment of life.

Perhaps it was the bright sunshine, but Zhang Beixing drifted off to sleep without realizing it. Such a leisurely life on a farm was truly a rare treat for a soldier who had been constantly on the move since enlisting.

He covered his head with the open comic book, and a soft snoring sound came from under the pages. Clearly, Zhang Beixing was sleeping soundly.

Nevertheless, the scattered female ducks continued to walk methodically in the grass, and did not immediately lose control; the scene remained quite harmonious.

Two soldiers, who were passing through the pasture and clearing wild grass for their cattle and sheep, were chatting and laughing as they passed by.

There are no inspectors or patrols on the farm, and there are no superiors to inspect them on weekdays. The "three phases" rules of regular combat troops do not need to be strictly followed, and the daily life of farm soldiers is relatively free.

As the two walked through the area as usual, one of them was stunned when he saw flocks of ducks covering the hillside.

He tugged at his comrade's clothes, then pointed at the flock of ducks in shock and asked, "Holy crap! The ducks in our duck shed have escaped?"

Another soldier, realizing later that he hadn't reacted much when he saw the ducks, was startled when his comrade reminded him.

"Who's so bold as to let all the ducks out!"

The two men nearly collapsed upon witnessing this scene. If something went wrong, the soldiers guarding the farm would be held responsible.

"My goodness, how are we going to herd all these ducks back in a bit?"

"Huh? That's not right. Weren't these ducks supposed to be listless lately? How come they all look so energetic to me?"

"Hey, what time is it? Why are we still worrying about this? Should we report this to the squad leader?"

The two men spoke softly, because ducks are easily startled. Sometimes, even a stomp of the foot, if it frightens just one duck, can trigger a chain reaction, causing the entire flock to break apart. Once they're all frightened away, the farm is so large that no amount of soldiers could catch them all.

Moreover, the two noticed something was amiss; it seemed like these ducks were quite disciplined.
They appeared to be everywhere, yet they were strictly dispersed within a certain area. Even with the tempting nearby vegetable garden right in front of them, not a single duck ventured out to peck at the food.

That's a bit strange, isn't it?

So, who exactly let all the ducks out?

The two stared at each other, unsure of what to do, but unintentionally woke Zhang Beixing, who had just fallen asleep.

Zhang Beixing tilted his head back, closed the comic book that was covering his face and threw it aside, then suddenly sat up.

"My God, there's someone here?"

"Hey, which squad are you from? Why have you let all the ducks out?"

The two were startled.

Zhang Beixing slowly stood up, smiled at the two of them, and casually replied, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm here, the duck won't get lost."

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing's voice, the two finally recognized the audacious culprit and immediately shuddered. "Good day, Colonel!"

"Good day, Colonel!"

The two men stood up straight and spoke in unison.

Holy crap, how come this guy is Colonel Zhang?
If even the squad leader wouldn't dare to mess with someone like that, then the few soldiers wouldn't dare to say anything either.

Since Colonel Zhang said there was no problem, then there was no problem. Rank matters!
At this moment, a soldier seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at Zhang Beixing and spoke.

"By the way, sir, a special forces soldier just came to your platoon looking for you."

what?
Special forces?
Zhang Beixing was taken aback and quickly asked, "Who is it? What's their name?"

"It seems to be... Song Kaifei."

He's a pilot?

Why did he come looking for me?
Is something important happening?

With this in mind, Zhang Beixing stopped guessing and dusted himself off, then went to see what was going on.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to whistle at the flock of ducks.

Zhang Beixing waved his hand and gave the order.

"Assemble! Front of the line becomes back of the line, everyone return to camp!"

"Gagaga...!"

The ducks quacked loudly, quickly lined up, and then, following Zhang Beixing's instructions, marched in unison toward the duck shed.

It was the height of summer, and a hot wind whipped up the fallen grass blades, sending them swirling in the air. The two soldiers who witnessed this stood frozen in place, utterly bewildered.

They stared at each other, wide-eyed, and suddenly realized that their worldviews, built up over the years, had become distorted.

your sister!
Why are these ducks so obedient to you?
When they said they would line up to return to camp, they really did line up to return to camp!

Holy crap, could these ducks be fake?
Both of them were stunned.

Before the two could even react, Zhang Beixing had completely vanished from the meadow; he had long since disappeared somewhere...

"What? What did you say! Zhang... he let all the ducks out?"

"Wait, what exactly does this guy want? Is he trying to kill me?!"

In the reception office, Wang Wei listened to the reports from the two soldiers on the phone, and suddenly felt completely overwhelmed.

The two soldiers truthfully reported what they had just witnessed to their squad leader, Wang Wei. After hanging up the phone, Wang Wei's expression was conflicted, with a look that seemed to be on the verge of tears, which felt very familiar to Song Kaifei, who was sitting upright on the sofa.

"Several thousand ducks! When will we be able to catch them all? If we accidentally lose a few hundred, the company commander will kill me..."

Wang Wei's voice echoed in the room as he answered the phone, sounding extremely frantic.

The soldier carefully considered his words before replying, "No, squad leader, you don't need to worry too much. Those ducks are very obedient to Commander Zhang. They're all lined up obediently and heading back to the duck shed. They won't run away at all. We're just watching them from the side."

What?
Are the ducks lining up to return to their duck pen?
Upon hearing this, Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, his mind unable to process it, and he wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing.

"What did you just say? You're not kidding me, are you?"

The soldier cautiously replied, "No, squad leader, we're telling the truth. Why don't you turn on the video?"

“…Okay, sure.” Wang Wei thought for a moment, then hung up the phone and started a video call with the two soldiers using a chat app.

—Beep beep beep…click.

The video call connected, and the two soldiers pointed their cameras at the flock of ducks not far below them and shouted.

"Squad leader, look! We weren't lying to you, were we? These ducks are really lining up!"

"You didn't see it! Chief Zhang's operation was simply amazing! We were both shocked when we saw it. It was like magic!"

In the video footage, plump female ducks are lined up in a long, winding line, swaying from side to side as they walk toward the duck shed.

As the camera panned, Wang Wei could also clearly see several ducks standing at the head of the line, occasionally crowing loudly.

"Caw caw caw caw...!"

The clear quacking of the duck stunned Wang Wei completely.

"Holy crap?!"

When Wang Wei first heard that Zhang Beixing had released the ducks, he was only worried. But now, after watching the video, he was surprised to find that the two greenhorns weren't making fun of him; what they said was actually true?

The flocks of ducks, lined up and singing, marched in unison toward the duck shed.

Even with two soldiers taking photos with their phones next to them, they remained focused and determined, just like a group of soldiers heading to the battlefield!
Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Wei felt as if his entire worldview had been shattered.

Is this even possible?
I feel like I've wasted all these years as a farm foreman!
"By the way, squad leader, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. The ducks have laid a lot of eggs along the way, and we're busy collecting them. I have to go now, so if you have time, hurry up and call someone to help!"

After the soldier finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the video call.

A second before the video call ended, the image flashed across the ground covered in duck eggs. Wang Wei was startled; although his mind hadn't fully processed and returned to normal, he couldn't help but feel a surge of elation.

So the problem of duck egg production has been solved?

Oh my god, that's so lucky!

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that Squad Leader Wang Wei seemed to be lost in thought and had completely forgotten about him, Song Kaifei, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for Zhang Beixing, couldn't help but cough twice.

"Haha, sorry, Captain, I just drifted off. Where were we?"

Wang Wei snapped out of his daze, looked at Song Kaifei, scratched his head sheepishly, and smiled.

Song Kaifei didn't feel slighted; he simply spoke in a businesslike manner.

"Um, squad leader, when would you like to process our captain's transfer order?"

transfer order?

Yes, yes, yes!
transfer order!

Wang Wei twitched his nose, feeling a mix of bitterness and joy.

Great! Zhang Beixing, that great guy, is finally going to be transferred!

Heaven have mercy! Who knows what this little class monitor has been through this past month? (End of Chapter)
