The strongest production soldier, awarded first-class merit for feeding pigs.

"Clap clap clap..."

The room was about ten square meters, and the applause was very enthusiastic.

As the squad leader of the third squad of the seventh border defense company, Sergeant Lan Haitao sat facing the door and presided over the first squad meeting for the new recruits.

In front of him were the other nine soldiers in the class, three of whom were new recruits who had just joined the company.

"Today is the day the new recruits are assigned to their units. Before the squad meeting begins, first, the three new comrades, please introduce yourselves."

Squad leader Lan Haitao looked to his left, his gaze locking onto one of the students, and said, "Let's start with you."

"Me, me??"

The recruit who was called out had a fair and refined appearance, with thin and delicate lips. He stammered, pointing to himself, and every pore of his body exuded tension.

"Don't be nervous, just say whatever you want."

Lan Haitao, being a veteran squad leader, was very experienced in dealing with such situations and provided guidance accordingly.

"call--"

The new recruit took a breath, paused for a while, and then stood up and said, "Hello everyone, my name is He Wen, I come from Chengdu Province, and I studied to be a kindergarten teacher before joining the army."

"A male kindergarten teacher??"

Everyone was very surprised; it was truly a rare sight to find a man studying to be a kindergarten teacher.

Squad leader Lan Haitao's face darkened further, and he frowned, saying, "What are you doing studying to be a kindergarten teacher? Our Seventh Company is a mobile company; the training intensity is very high. Can you keep up?"

There is also competition in the military, especially among squad leaders.

They don't compare food or clothing; they only compare who leads the fiercest troops. Nobody wants a cowardly soldier.

"Uh~"

He Wen was startled and quickly added, "I'm very popular at school. I have all the girls' contact information. The senior girls treat me like a younger brother, and the junior girls treat me like a cousin. I can introduce girlfriends to everyone."

Boom~

He Wen's words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly causing an uproar in Class 3.

As the saying goes: "After three years in the army, even a sow can rival Diao Chan in beauty."

Not to mention the border troops stationed deep in the mountains, where young girls have disappeared and there are hardly any old women to be seen, and the yang energy is seriously excessive.

He Wen has hundreds of female contacts, and he can even introduce them to you as girlfriends.

He's practically a second adoptive father!

Lan Haitao, who had initially looked at He Wen with disdain, now had a complete 180-degree change in expression, looking at him as if he were a precious treasure.

"Okay, okay, it's great to be a kindergarten teacher. Just stay in our Class 3 and don't worry about anything. If you have any difficulties, just ask me, the class monitor."

Lan Haitao, thinking that his more than twenty years of being single might finally end, smiled with extra gentleness and looked at the second recruit with satisfaction, saying, "It's your turn. Stand up and introduce yourself."

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Jun, I come from Hunan Province, and I was a college student before I joined the army."

Compared to He Wen's nervousness and restraint during his self-introduction, this second recruit seemed much more mature and composed, maintaining a humble yet confident demeanor with a smile throughout the process.

With his height of nearly 1.8 meters, he makes a very good first impression.

"Oh, a college student recruit? Not bad, not bad."

Lan Haitao looked Chen Jun up and down, quite satisfied with Chen Jun's physical condition, and then asked, "What did you study in university?"

"I studied at an agricultural university," Chen Jun replied.

"Agricultural university? Is it for farming? We do have production teams here, but you definitely can't go. You're in great physical condition; you're cut out to be an elite soldier. It would be such a waste for you to go to a production team."

Lan Haitao had great confidence in his judgment, and the more he looked at Chen Jun, the more satisfied he became.

Then they turned their attention to the next recruit.

Chen Jun, who could be identified as a future elite soldier, was not happy about it. Instead, he stared blankly at the transparent light screen in front of him, which was visible only to him and had been activated for several days, yet it was causing him great distress.

[Congratulations, host, for activating the strongest military hero system. By spending money on the construction and development of the army, you can draw various mysterious treasure chests. The first military hero fund has been deposited into your account. Please spend it as you please and do not be stingy.]

Current remaining funds: 800000000 RMB.

Currently possessing 0 treasure chests.

Currently acquired skills: None.

Items acquired so far: None.

……

Note: If the host fails to obtain the treasure chest within three days, the system will automatically unbind the account.

The system introduction is very detailed, down to the type and level of the treasure chests, and the last row of red reminders is particularly eye-catching.

"Sigh, am I lucky or unlucky? I transmigrated to a world similar to Earth and even got a Godly Rich System with the template of a novel protagonist."

You start with 800 million, and you can spend money to draw all sorts of awesome treasure chests. This luck is absolutely amazing.

If this happened in a local community, whether it was tipping streamers or doing charity, let alone 800 million, even 80 billion would be spent in no time. Then, they would be drawing treasure chests until their hands were sore, and easily reach the pinnacle of life.

But what happened? When he opened his eyes after being transported back in time, he found himself in the army, as a border guard, where the hardest job was being held, and he could only spend his money in the army.

Given the isolated environment of the border troops in the deep mountains and forests, there's nowhere to spend money if they want to. If they can't spend money, they can't participate in the lottery. So what's the point of this system?

That's like having a row of beautiful women in front of you, but your little brother is weak and doesn't do anything.

Grandma's legs!!

Chen Jun couldn't help but curse inwardly, and he truly understood what it meant to be on the verge of tears.

"Just spend 100,000 yuan to draw the lowest-level Black Iron Treasure Chest. If you draw a Superhuman, you'll be able to beat the Americans and take on the whole world."

But now that they've reached the border defense forces, they probably won't even be able to spend the minimum 100,000.

Chen Jun was completely absorbed in his distress, racking his brains to come up with a way to break the deadlock.

I thought about it for a long time.

Still, I have no ideas.

Qilian is located deep in the mountains and forests of the southwestern border region. It is more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest county town, and Shuigan Town, a market town, is also 10 kilometers away.

The military provides food and lodging, even underwear and socks, so there's practically no need to spend money.

As for the items in the military service center, buying them all wouldn't cost more than a few hundred yuan, not to mention the money given by the Godly Rich System, which Chen Jun couldn't use on his own.

"Why did they have to send the military? And the border troops no less! It would have been better to be assigned to an administrative unit, at least then we'd be in the city. Ugh, this is so torturous."

Chen Junshen, who was overseas, thought about it for a long time, but the more he thought about it, the colder his heart became.

Desertion is an option to leave the military.

But desertion is severely punished, and Chen Jun dared not do it.

Just when Chen Jun was at his wit's end and felt that his life was about to turn bleak, the class meeting was coming to an end, and an opportunity unexpectedly appeared.

"By the way, there's a company-wide dinner tomorrow night, and the cooks need a few helpers. Our third squad needs one, because they require that you know how to chop vegetables, and none of us veterans know how. So it'll be up to you three new recruits. Who among you knows how?"

The three new recruits all knew what Lan Haitao meant by "going on official business." During their time in basic training, new recruits had to go on various official business.

"Does it require knowing how to chop vegetables?"

He Wen and the other recruit were completely bewildered; they genuinely didn't know how to do this.

In the 21st century, with food delivery services everywhere, even if parents don't cook, they can order takeout anytime, so they don't need this skill at all.

"The mess hall? A communal meal??"

With only three days to complete the task and no clue whatsoever, Chen Jun, who was nearly driven mad with frustration, suddenly brightened up upon hearing these two words.

The cooks had an extra meal together...

This gave him hope of breaking the deadlock.

Fearing that someone else would take the opportunity, Chen Jun quickly raised his hand and said, "Squad leader, I'll go, I'll go then. I know how to chop vegetables. At home, I often cook for myself."

Lan Haitao was worried about who would go on this business trip, but seeing Chen Jun's enthusiasm, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Chen Jun, you go then."
