Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 21 Unlocking new skills

Shi Jin smiled bitterly, "When you entered Class 3, weren't you also a mess? If you can do it, why can't he?"

"No!" Wu Liuyi shook his head. "He's just a lump of wood! To be more precise, he's even worse than a lump of wood!"

"The same! As long as he is still a human being!" Shi Jin was extremely firm.

Gao Cheng was so angry that he couldn't speak. He could only try his best to control his emotions.

"Shi Jin, if he drags down Class 3's grades, and drags down your grades, do you know what this means?"

Faced with the company commander's soul-searching questioning, Shi Jin was shocked all over, but he had abandoned Xu Sanduo once before, and he didn't want to do it again.

"Company Commander, I will take care of him with the squad leader! Give him a chance, and give ourselves a chance too." Chen Jiang took over the conversation.
"People outside say that the 7th Steel Company is strong because it recruits only the best. If we can train Xu Sanduo, we can dispel these rumors. Never abandon or give up, isn't that the spirit of our 7th Company?"

I don’t know if Chen Jiang’s words moved Gao Cheng, but in the end Gao Cheng gave in.

"I'm really impressed by you two," Gao Cheng said helplessly after glancing at Hong Xingguo, who was full of anticipation. "Since you've all said this, I'll give you this face, but we agreed that we'll give him two months. If Xu Sanduo can reach the average level of the Seventh Company within this time, he can stay. Otherwise, he'll go back to where he came from, and I'll be the bad guy!"

"Company commander, how can only two months be enough? Can it be extended a little longer, even to three months, or two and a half?" Shi Jin still wanted to bargain.

"Third Squad Leader, let me remind you that I, Gao Chengkai, didn't start the Seventh Steel Company. I am responsible for the company's achievements and your personal future!"

This is the bottom line, he won't give in even an inch!

[For successfully persuading Gao Cheng to keep Xu Sanduo, I gained 500 experience points and successfully unlocked a new skill.]

【ding~】

[Your level has been successfully upgraded to Lv2, unlocking the "Help designated comrades gain new skills that grow synchronously"!]

[New Skill Mission: Help Xu Sanduo grow, and you will gain corresponding experience points and personal ability index rewards.]

Chen Jiang suddenly discovered that he had really upgraded!
This system really does what it says it will!

The key is that this new skill is quite powerful. As long as Xu Sanduo is taught, he can also grow.
This kind of good thing of helping others and getting benefits, oh no, helping others for fun, is really great.

"Squad leader, what the company commander said makes sense. Two months is two months. Let's make it a deal!"

Chen Jiang decisively persuaded Shi Jin who was still trying to stop.

Gao Cheng's expression brightened slightly. "To tell you the truth, it's because I value you two, otherwise I wouldn't let him try for even a single day!"

Chen Jiang desperately winked at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin understood that he had tried his best.
But he could only do so much for Xu Sanduo.
It is nothing but a pipe dream to expect Xu Sanduo to improve to the average level in just two months. Unless he ignores everything else, there is no possibility at all.

Gao Cheng may have taken this into consideration and made concessions.

Forget it, let’s talk about it in two months.

"Okay then, thank you, Captain."

Shi Jin could only force a smile.

"Go away, I don't want to see you two today." Gao Cheng turned his back and waved his hand impatiently.

Wu Liuyi didn't say anything, and even when he walked out of the company headquarters, his face was ashen.
When he passed by Xu Sanduo, he didn't even bother to say hello, even when Xu Sanduo tried to get close to him in his native dialect.

When Shi Jin led Xu Sanduo into the dormitory of Class 3, all the soldiers looked at this "transfer student" in surprise.

They were all the best in the recruit company, and none of them was admitted through the "back door" personally by the regiment commander.

What’s more, he is such a “notorious” guy.

Therefore, everyone stared at him with a scrutinizing and even rejecting look. Xu Sanduo felt a little scared and couldn't help but lower his head.

This makes everyone look down on me even more.
Sure enough, this guy doesn't look like a soldier!

It is difficult for a weak person to get along in a company like the 7th Steel Company.

"There's a new member in our class. This is Xu Sanduo, from the Red Third Company. Bai Tiejun, move your bed and let him sleep with you." Shi Jin introduced everyone.

But no one showed any sign of welcoming him, not even the cheapest applause could be heard, let alone asking Bai Tiejun to give up his seat.

His thoughts were written all over his face: We are all new recruits, why should I move?
The veteran on the upper bunk of Bai Tiejun also gave him a subtle look, clearly telling him not to move. It was obvious that no one wanted a weakling like Xu Sanduo to share a bed with them.

The scene was a little awkward.

It was Chen Jiang who took the initiative to stand up.

"I'll sleep inside, Xu Sanduo, you sleep in my bunk!"

He rolled up his bedding and moved to the innermost position.
Faced with a top student like Chen Jiang, there was naturally no possibility of rejection in the class.

Shi Jin was really grateful to this new recruit, as he had done him a great favor.
"Xu Sanduo, then you can stay in my lower bunk. I'll be above you so it's easier for me to take care of you. I'll go transfer your food relationship and bring some things back for you." Shi Jin said as he was about to go out, giving instructions as he walked.

"Liuyi, please introduce our housekeeping regulations to Xu Sanduo."

Wu Liuyi shook his head in annoyance. "Xu Sanduo, you've actually joined the Seventh Company. But since you're here, there's a place for you in the Third Squad. You can use locker number 6, desk number 6, and hook number 6. You're allowed to hang your military cap, uniform, and belt..."

Xu Sanduo quickly returned to his posture as a recruit, with his neck held high as he was supposed to be when being trained.

Wu Liuyi mechanically and expressionlessly recounted the entire content, which was considered as completing the task assigned by Shi Jin.

"Xu Sanduo, did you hear everything I said just now?"

"I heard it clearly!" Xu Sanduo looked happy and was not angry at all because of Wu Liuyi's perfunctory treatment of him.

"Here, it's different from the recruit company. In the recruit company, if you don't perform well, at most you'll be assigned to a worse company. But in Steel Company 7, if you don't perform well, you will be eliminated. Do you understand?"

Wu Liuyi really couldn't say the word "returned". He hoped that this cowardly soldier would suddenly wake up so that he wouldn't have to drag down his best friend, Shi Jin.

Of course, Xu Sanduo could not understand the deep meaning of Wu Liuyi's words at all.

In his world, what does it matter if someone says a few bad things about him?
Hasn't he endured enough ridicule?

The key is that as long as you can stay in this good company where you know many people and are accepted, it is a great fortune and the best thing that can happen.
