I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

Wu Hanfeng took off running, and Chen Zhiyuan, exhausted, couldn't catch up. He returned cursing.

Sitting on a small stool, looking at the smelly socks in the basin, I felt like I was throwing away my cigarettes and acting as someone else's babysitter.

Zhou Haibo shook his head helplessly: "If this kid really gets promoted to sergeant, then the military police's days are probably going to be tough."

Zhou Haibo sighed: "He's already exhausted the military police as a new recruit. Once he becomes a sergeant, he'll probably be able to ride roughshod over the military police."

Chen Zhiyuan suddenly looked up and asked curiously, "But I'm curious, if he really becomes a squad leader in the future, what kind of soldiers will he lead?"

The washroom fell completely silent.

Liu Yang frowned and said, "Like leader, like soldiers. It's the same as him."

"I'm afraid it's just another group of unruly troublemakers."

"But..." Zhou Haibo looked out the window, "they must be the most united group."

Chen Zhiyuan nodded. "Zhou Peng, the platoon leader of the Second Company, and Wang Erniu from the cookhouse, aren't they all devoted to him?"

Liu Yang nodded: "And there's Old Zhang from the motor transport company and Old Li from the repair shop. They're really good at leading troops. They can be really ruthless when they want to, but they're really good to their soldiers."

Zhou Haibo suddenly threw his socks into Liu Yang's basin, "You're talking about others, aren't you just as devoted to him?"

Liu Yang chuckled twice: "I just see him as an older brother."

Zhou Haibo scoffed, "Alright, alright."

Chen Zhiyuan: "Joking aside, I genuinely hope he can stay. The army needs a squad leader like him..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cheeky voice.

"Hey!" Wu Hanfeng walked over and put his arm around Chen Zhiyuan's shoulder. "Old Chen, has the sun risen in the west? I think I just heard someone saying they were reluctant to part with me, but I didn't hear clearly. Could you say it again?"

Chen Zhiyuan looked up and saw Wu Hanfeng looking at him with a wicked grin, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Seeing Wu Hanfeng's nonchalant attitude, he felt both angry and ashamed. He turned his back and shook off Wu Hanfeng's arm, saying, "Shut up."

Wu Hanfeng, arms crossed and a cigarette dangling from his lips, leaned against the doorframe and said with satisfaction, "A company commander and two key squad leaders personally washed my socks. Nobody would believe this treatment if I told anyone."

Zhou Haibo's face turned ashen. He snorted, "Don't be so arrogant, kid. I've washed your socks too. If your score drops back to 24 and a half next week, see how I deal with you."

"No way." Wu Hanfeng took a drag of his cigarette and said firmly, "You should think about yourself first, or you'll end up crying and begging me not to run away again."

Zhou Haibo's face flushed red, and he angrily threw his socks into the basin: "Who the hell called you 'dad'! You brat!"

Chen Zhiyuan finished scrubbing the last sock and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Old Wu, to be honest, if you can really improve your physical fitness, I'll talk to the old company commander about becoming a sergeant."

Liu Yang nodded: "Your situation is special. You have six years of military service, which is something that can be negotiated under the current policy."

Wu Hanfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try my best."

"It's not about striving for it, it's about having to."

Zhou Haibo said earnestly, "Old Wu, you're twenty-four. This is your last chance. If you back down now, you'll never get back."

Wu Hanfeng laughed and said, "Don't worry. I definitely won't return it this time. Who's going to wash my socks if I do?"

The three of them simultaneously raised their middle fingers: "Fuck!"

......

After breakfast, Wu Hanfeng went to the clothes drying area alone and activated the system panel.

[Host: Wu Hanfeng]

[Position: New Recruit]

[Physical constitution: C+ (normal level is C, highest is SSS level)]

[Skills: None]

[Shock Value: 10000 points]

[System Shop: Open (Beginner)]

Wu Hanfeng stared in disbelief at the shock level displayed above!

10,000 points?

What the hell?

"System, what is this shock value? How come I didn't see it before?"

System: [This system has a complete reward mechanism, and the shock value is a crucial component.]

Wu Hanfeng: "Where did this shock value come from?"

[The shock value originates from the strong emotional fluctuations such as shock, admiration, and worship that the host evokes in others during military training, assessments, competitions, or actual combat.]

[During this morning's exercises, the host completed a 5-kilometer cross-country run in 20 minutes and 58 seconds, surpassing his own best time, causing a strong sense of shock among Company Commander Chen Zhiyuan, Squad Leaders Zhou Haibo and Liu Yang, and all the new recruits.]

Wu Hanfeng understood; his nonchalant attitude had created a stark contrast with them, which was why everyone was shocked.

But I never expected that this time there would be a shock value of ten thousand.

[Shock points can be exchanged for various skills, military technology knowledge, and physical enhancement potions in the system shop.]

[Current shock value is 10,000 points; Shop level is beginner.]

[The intermediate shop unlocks with 10 points or more, and the advanced shop unlocks with 100 points or more.]
