Chapter 29: Third Class Merit! Skill: Housekeeping: Index 99

After the competition, the base was in a mess.

Originally, some people were arranged to stay behind to clean up, but after the target shooting, many teams left early and the matter ended up being left unresolved.

On this day, Chen Rong was mopping the floor in every room of a dormitory building with a mop, and Xiao Heizi followed behind him with a bucket filled with a few rags in his mouth.

The man and the dog worked together to clean from the third floor to the fourth floor.

"Take a break, Little Blackie!" Chen Rong wiped the sweat off his face and opened the glass window in the corridor to let in some fresh air.

"Wang!"

Xiao Heizi had grown a little bigger. After putting down the bucket, he lay down at Chen Rong's feet to rest.

Looking down from the fourth floor, Ma Shouliang was pulling Lu Senbao to run obstacles on the 400-meter obstacle course below, and Lu Senbao's wailing could be heard from time to time.

Even though Lu Senbao was trained like a grandson now, during the shooting training in the afternoon, he immediately regained his appearance as a sniper god in front of Ma Shouliang.

This training plan was tailored for the three of them by Ma Shouliang. Chen Rong did not participate in the first few days because he had to clean the base.

It’s not that the two non-commissioned officers, Ma Shouliang and Lu Senbao, bullied the new recruit Chen Rong. On the first day after the competition, the three of them carried various tools and started cleaning together.

As a result, the two men were driven away by Chen Rong after a while.

It was not for any other reason, but because Chen Rong's requirements were too high, and Ma Shouliang and Lu Senbao could not meet the cleaning standards. After they finished, Chen Rong had to do it all over again, which was tantamount to making things worse.

Chen Rong did not find it boring to clean the base by himself. Instead, he felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw the area look brand new after cleaning.

"Why do I feel like my mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder are getting worse the higher my housekeeping index is?"

Chen Rong muttered to himself and called out the panel.

【Physical fitness: Index 38】

[Skill - Housekeeping: Index 91]

[Skill-Fighting: Index 39]

[Skill-Shooting: Index 48]

[Skill - Taming: Index 46]

[Skill-Crossing: Index 36]

More than a week has passed since the end of the competition. Although Chen Rong was cleaning the base during the day, he still continued to train in the morning and evening, so all indexes have improved.

Of course, the area that has seen the most improvement is in housekeeping.

"Wang Wang!"

Xiao Heizi stood up and called out to Chen Rong twice.

Chen Rong understood what it meant and was stunned: "Are you hungry? Is it time for dinner so soon?"

"Wang!"

Little Heizi looked a little dissatisfied, as if he was blaming his owner for being too engrossed in cleaning.

Chen Rong smiled embarrassedly and looked down. Sure enough, he saw Lu Senbao waving at him, indicating that he should come down to eat.

"Let's go, dinner is ready!"

"Wang!"

Little Heizi shouted happily, picked up the bucket and ran downstairs.

Lu Senbao sat on the steps waiting for him, while Ma Shouliang answered the phone.

"Who is the squad leader talking to on the phone?" Chen Rong asked.

"Xu Yanwang." Lu Senbao smiled mysteriously and looked at Chen Rong: "Xiao Rongrong, have you received your allowance this month? Remember to treat me to dinner tonight!"

Chen Rong was a little curious: "Deputy, what should I treat you to?"

"If King Xu calls you at this time, it's very likely that your third-class merit has been awarded!"

"Really?" Chen Rong was delighted.

"It's true!" Ma Shouliang hung up the phone and walked over, also with a happy look on his face.

"That's great, Chen Rong. You've already won both an individual third-class merit and a collective third-class merit while you were still a recruit. This is rare in the entire army!"

"Hehe, that's because of the class monitor and the deputy class teacher!" Chen Rong grinned and said, "Class monitor, I'll treat you tonight, let's celebrate!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Little Blackie sensed his master's emotions and started jumping around as well.

"You should keep the several hundred yuan allowance for yourself. I'll make arrangements tonight!" Ma Shouliang waved his hand and continued, "The captain asked if you want to go to the division headquarters to attend the commendation meeting tomorrow?"

"The division headquarters is too far away. Besides, it will take several days to clean up the base. I won't go." Chen Rong replied.

Lu Senbao was speechless: "Can't you wait until you receive the award before coming back to clean up your base?"

Chen Rong immediately shook his head: "That won't do. I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't finish it in one go!"

Ma Shouliang and Lu Senbao both held their foreheads. The three of them and the dog walked towards the dormitory. On the way, Lu Senbao asked about Ma Shouliang and Liu Chuan's situation and learned that they had already reported to the military academy.

While the two were chatting, Chen Rong looked at the latest prompts on the panel.

[Military rank: Private]

[Military Merit: Commendation x1, Third Class Merit x2]

[Detected that the host has obtained a collective third-class merit once, rewarded with 10 points of free attribute]

[Currently available free attribute points: 30 points]

"Huh? Something's wrong, squad leader?" Chen Rong suddenly spoke, and Ma Shouliang and Lu Senbao turned around to look at him.

Ma Shouliang was confused: "What's wrong?"

"Why do I only have a third-class individual merit?" Chen Rong asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I also got the first place in shooting, so shouldn't I get two third-class merit awards?" Chen Rong asked confidently.

Ma Shouliang: “???”

Lu Senbao was so angry that he laughed: "Good boy, you are not satisfied with a third-class merit, right?"

"According to what you said, when we award the first-class meritorious service, we should also award the second-class and third-class meritorious service at the same time?"

Chen Rong was a little unconvinced: "What if I win first place in all the events? Will it also be a third-class merit?"

Snapped!
Ma Shouliang couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Chen Rong on the head: "What are you thinking? If you can really take care of all the projects, who will give you the third-class merit? At least you should start with the second-class merit!"

"Hurry up and get your meal! After dinner, go to the armory with your squad leader to get your pistols. We will have pistol shooting training this afternoon."

"Oh!"

Chen Rong patted his head and took Xiao Heizi to the dog team to get food.

It was another weekend, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Rong stood up from the sandy ground of the equipment field with two splints in his hand. Looking at the flat and square pieces of sand, he felt a great sense of accomplishment!

“Finally done!”

Before he could finish his words, a black shadow let out a strange cry and rushed towards the sand.

Chen Rong didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his face. He grabbed Xiao Heizi who wanted to jump in and have fun, and gave him two chestnuts on the head: "I'm warning you, Xiao Heizi, if you dare to mess up this sand again, I'll put you in solitary confinement!"

Ma Shouliang and Lu Senbao knew that Chen Rong had obsessive-compulsive disorder and usually did not come to the equipment field. The only one who might come to cause trouble was Xiao Heizi.

"woo"

The little black boy seemed to understand what his master said, and groaned with his tail between his legs.

"get out!"

Chen Rong casually threw Xiao Heizi onto the steps, and he soon disappeared.

When he returned to the dormitory, Ma Shouliang and Lu Senbao had not come back yet. After Chen Rong tidied the room, he habitually called out the panel.

【Physical fitness: Index 38】

[Skill - Housekeeping: Index 99]

[Skill-Shooting: Index 48]

[Skill - Taming: Index 49]

[Skill-Crossing: Index 36]

[Free attribute points: 30]

"Is it still 99? What's going on?"

Looking at the index in the column of housekeeping, Chen Rong was puzzled.

Three days ago, the index of this skill had reached 99. After that, Chen Rong continued to take care of every corner of the base every day, but what surprised him was that the index of housekeeping had never moved again.

"Does that mean 99 is the upper limit of the skill index?"
