The hospital is too busy, so I'm going to join the army and become a top soldier!

"If I could drive an armored vehicle, I wouldn't trade it for a Lamborghini!"

Upon hearing Shen Yan's words, Luo Zhiyong was visibly taken aback.

He has led many new recruits who have just joined the company.

When these new recruits first saw the armored vehicles, they were all incredibly excited.

Some people can't wait to sit in the driver's seat that very day and drive a couple of laps on the training field.

Excitement is one thing.

It will be at least two months before we can actually get hands-on training in armored vehicle driving!

During their first month in the elite detachment, new recruits primarily train in physical fitness, reconnaissance, shooting, hand-to-hand combat, and basic tactics.

During this period, students will also learn about vehicle structure, safety rules, crew roles, routine inspections, and basic operations.

Only by mastering these concepts and passing the theoretical examination can one truly engage with armored vehicles!

Military equipment is not a toy.

It's even less likely that a new recruit would be given a car to drive around in just because they're interested!

At the normal pace, Shen Yan is still a long way from driving an armored vehicle!

But the problem is...

This kid's progress is abnormal!

First day of the new term.

Shen Yan participated in reconnaissance combat for the first time and, together with two veterans, broke the squad record!

The next day, while learning grappling techniques, he not only managed to pin down his own fourth-term veteran squad leader with a backhand.

He also incorporated medical knowledge into combat, teaching the whole class a unique skill of seizing muscle tendons!

If these new recruits are trained at the same pace as ordinary people, it would be a waste of time!

Luo Zhiyong stared at Shen Yan for a while.

"Trying to drive an armored vehicle isn't that simple."

"Under normal circumstances, it will take at least two months."

"You haven't even finished reading 'Armored Vehicle Structure and Use' yet, and you haven't participated in basic operation and safety assessments. This is against the rules."

Shen Yan nodded earnestly.

"That should be enough for tonight. We can test it out tomorrow."

Luo Zhiyong: "..."

Luo Zhiyong hesitated for a moment.

"How about this?"

"I'll go ask Company Commander Chen."

"Armored vehicles are not ordinary training equipment; I cannot make that decision."

"If he agrees, he can consider arranging theoretical and practical training for you in advance."

"Whether it can be opened in the end depends on whether you can pass the assessment!"

Shen Yan nodded immediately.

"yes!"

He was quite confident about this matter.

Based on Shen Yan's understanding of Chen Gang.

He would never force capable people to progress slowly.

As long as he can prove that he has mastered the theory and safety knowledge of armored vehicles, Chen Gang will most likely be willing to let him give it a try!

"Then you can continue reading."

"I'll go ask Chen Lian for you!"

After Luo Zhiyong finished speaking, he left the study room.

Wei Shanjia immediately moved closer to Shen Yan.

"Not a buddy."

"Are you really prepared to drive armored vehicles on the third day of the mission?"

"I'm just going to study first."

Shen Yan corrected, "It's not certain whether it can be opened."

Wei Shanjia clearly didn't take those words to heart.

Should we learn first?

With your cheat-like learning speed, what's the difference between learning first and mastering immediately?

Shen Yan said she wanted to learn today.

Tomorrow, armored vehicles will probably drive right past Wei Shanjia, and Wei Shanjia won't be surprised at all!

The little boy was also filled with envy.

"Hey friend."

"After you learn how, could you show us around a bit?"

"I've been in the army for three months, and I've never ridden in an armored vehicle before!"

……

Company Commander's Office.

Luo Zhiyong pushed the door open and came in.

All I could see was behind the desk.

Chen Gang was looking down at his right arm.

He groped around on his arm with his left hand for a while, and after finding the approximate location, he suddenly exerted force with his fingers.

next second.

Chen Gang's entire right arm suddenly went numb!

He quickly released his left hand and sat in the chair, rapidly swinging his arm.

Luo Zhiyong: "..."

Good guy!

During the day, everyone in the class pinched their arms on the training field.

That night, the company commander even hid in his office and secretly pinched his own numb veins?

This pinching of the tendons might soon spread from person to person through the knife-wielding area!

Chen Gang heard the door open and looked up to see Luo Zhiyong standing in the doorway.

His movements stopped instantly.

The arms that were just swinging were quickly put behind the back.

"Why aren't you in the study room keeping watch? What are you doing here?"

Luo Zhiyong tried hard to control his expression.

"Company Commander, there's something I need to ask you about."

Seeing that he didn't expose him directly, Chen Gang's expression became slightly more relaxed.

"Old Luo, just say what's on your mind!"

"What are you trying to suppress that laugh for?"

I didn't laugh.

"You can barely suppress the smirk from your lips!"

"Company commander, I really didn't laugh!"

Luo Zhiyong quickly changed the subject.

"Company Commander, it's about Shen Yan."

Upon hearing Shen Yan's name, Chen Gang indeed stopped dwelling on the awkwardness from before.

"What's wrong with Shen Yan?"

"He wanted to get in touch with the armored vehicles ahead of time."

"What the heck?"

Chen Gang was stunned for a moment.

"He's only been in his unit for three days, and he already wants to drive armored vehicles?"

"That's going too far!"

Luo Zhiyong shook his head upon hearing this.

"He has already started reading 'Armored Vehicle Structure and Use' and should be able to participate in the assessment and live-fire training ahead of schedule tomorrow."

Chen Gang's expression became even stranger.

"Has he already learned about vehicle mechanics?"

"What about 'Fundamentals of Armored Reconnaissance' and 'Military Map Reading and Plotting'?"

"I've learned it all!"

Luo Zhiyong shrugged.

"When our class conducted our first reconnaissance exercise, he got a perfect score and broke the record."

"Map reading and route planning have proven to be without problems."

"It's perfectly normal to start studying a third book now."

normal?

Is this what you call normal?

A typical new recruit might not even be able to understand his first book, "Basic Armored Reconnaissance," after only a few days in his unit.

Shen Yan has already started researching armored vehicles?

Does this guy learn new knowledge without any adaptation process at all?

Once you get the book, read it and you'll master the skills!

Then we'll jump straight into actual combat?

Is this even human?

Luo Zhiyong looked helpless and continued:

"In the first month, our elite unit's new recruits mainly undergo reconnaissance, combat, shooting, physical fitness, and basic tactical training."

"But the situation is different when these projects are done for Shen Yan."

"He got full marks in reconnaissance training every time."

"During combat training today, he pinned me to the ground."

At this point, Luo Zhiyong was somewhat embarrassed.

However, he quickly continued:

"He scored full marks in shooting, physical fitness, and tactical maneuvers during his basic training assessment. I've even seen him shoot at moving targets."

"You basically don't need to practice anymore!"

"Aside from the new equipment he hasn't encountered before, there really isn't much in the basic content we cover in the first month that can stump him."

"Now that his studies have progressed this far, I don't think there's much of a problem with him getting to know armored vehicles ahead of time."

Chen Gang fell silent.

He recalled Shen Yan's performance in basic training, which repeatedly shattered his own perceptions.

Now, after only three days of continuous service, they are preparing to engage with armored vehicles one or two months ahead of schedule.

If it were any other new recruit, Chen Gang would definitely tell them to go back first and master the basics.

It could be placed on Shen Yan...

This doesn't seem so hard to accept anymore!

"This cheater really can't be judged by the standards of a normal new recruit."

Chen Gang couldn't help but sigh softly.

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Luo Zhiyong's eyes.

It turns out it wasn't just them.

Even the company commander had long considered Shen Yan to be a cheat code!

After thinking for a moment, Chen Gang finally made a decision.

"Want to get a sneak peek at the armored vehicles? Sure!"

"However, the rules cannot be changed."

"I'm taking him to take the theory test tomorrow."

"If you fail the theoretical assessment, no one's opinion matters!"

Luo Zhiyong nodded.

"That's what I meant too."

"I will personally take him to the train crew tomorrow."

Chen Gang continued, "They have a complete driving training area and many professional driving instructors."

"Let Shen Yan learn from others first."

"Whether or not someone can sit in the driver's seat will be decided by the crew after their assessment."

"So that kid doesn't think he can just drive an armored vehicle after reading a book!"

Luo Zhiyong had some doubts.

Based on Shen Yan's previous performances.

The people in charge of the assessment in the crew might soon start to suspect whether this kid had received special training before.

"Company commander, I'll go back and inform him."

Luo Zhiyong turned around and prepared to leave.

He suddenly stopped when he reached the office door.

"By the way, Company Commander."

Chen Gang raised his head.

"Is there anything else?"

"You can't keep pinching the numb veins."

"Shen Yan said during the day that repeated stimulation is bad for the arm."

Luo Zhiyong glanced at Chen Gang's arm hidden behind his back.

"You'd better not practice tonight."

Chen Gang's face instantly turned red.

"Who practiced?"

"I was just researching the security of a company-wide rollout!"

"As the company commander, I have to personally verify the effectiveness, right?"

Luo Zhiyong nodded seriously.

"Okay, okay, I understand!"

"The company commander sacrificed his own arm for the sake of the entire company's training; he really went through a lot!"

Chen Gang grabbed the documents on the table and made as if to throw them at him.

"roll!"

"yes!"

The office door closed again.

Chen Gang put the file back on the desktop and shook his arm, which was still a little numb.

He glanced down at the spot he had just pressed and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"I must say, Shen Yan's skill is indeed quite useful."

"Practicing on my own is a bit tiring for my arms!"

……

The next morning.

There was still a full hour until the reveille.

Shen Yan opened his eyes right on time.

But this time, just as he was about to get up, he heard a slight noise coming from the other side of the dormitory.

Ma Huijun opened his eyes.

Xu Guodong also sat up from the bed.

Du Chengwu, Liu Kai, and several other veterans also woke up one after another.

Almost simultaneously, all six people looked at Shen Yan.

The two stared at each other for two seconds in the dimly lit dormitory.

Yesterday, six veterans got up forty minutes early.

But Shen Yan and the other two were still earlier than them!

Today, they pushed their wake-up time forward by another twenty minutes!

Arrive an hour early!

This time, I'm finally in sync with the three new recruits!

Ma Huijun felt much better immediately.

For two consecutive days, I woke up to find only three empty beds belonging to the new recruits.

At least I didn't get taught a lesson the other way around today!

Shen Yan lowered his voice and asked:

"Brother Ma, are you guys getting ready to go out for extra practice too?"

"Um."

The Ma Huijun spoke with unusual calmness, saying, "We veterans have a tradition of training in advance."

Xu Guodong, who was standing next to him, glanced at him quietly.

Pre-training is indeed a tradition.

The tradition of arriving a full hour early seems to have only been officially established this morning!

Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa were also woken up.

Wei Shanjia sat up groggily, and just as he was about to complain, he noticed that the six veterans had already started getting dressed.

His drowsiness vanished instantly!

Holy crap?

The veterans all got up and rolled up their sleeves!

What right do I, a new recruit, have to continue sleeping?

Ga Wa looked at the group of people in the dormitory who had all gotten up at the same time, and his expression was somewhat desperate.

"Hey friend."

"Before, only the three of us sheep went out of the sheepfold."

"The whole sheepfold is awake now!"

"From now on, will we have a competition to see who closes their eyes first when we go to sleep?"

Although the group moved very quietly, they still woke up Luo Zhiyong, who was on the upper bunk.

Luo Zhiyong opened his eyes and looked around the dormitory.

Shen Yan, Wei Shanjia, and Ga Wa were tidying up their belongings.

The six veterans were already dressed.

The entire class, except for him who was the class monitor, was preparing to go out for extra practice an hour early!

Luo Zhiyong remained silent for a few seconds.

Finally, I lay back down and pulled the blanket over my head.

He had to arrange training during the day and supervise the class's studies at night.

It's so early in the morning, we can't possibly follow those nine young beasts and push our wake-up time forward too, can we?

It has to be said, the catfish effect is truly powerful!

It completely turned the entire fish tank into a mess!

……

After washing up, the nine people quickly went to the playground.

Shen Yan still chose to carry a 40-kilogram load.

Wei Shanjia weighs 35 kilograms.

Ga Wa carried 20 kilograms on his back.

The six veterans exchanged glances, but did not insist on using Shen Yan and Wei Shanjia's weight out of politeness.

They all chose 20 kilograms.

The purpose of extra training is to improve physical fitness.

I didn't injure myself just to show off!

Especially since they had just completed high-intensity muscle-binding training yesterday.

My arm was still numb from pinching it so hard last night.

If I were to carry another 30 or 40 kilograms, I might not be able to maintain my normal condition during today's formal training.

Let's begin!

Ma Huijun spoke up.

The nine of them started running along the playground at the same time.

At first, the six veterans were in a relatively relaxed state.

For them, carrying 20 kilograms of weight is not an unbearable burden.

However, as the number of laps increases, the effects of waking up earlier and physical fatigue gradually appear.

My shoulders and back started to feel heavy, and my breathing became increasingly labored.

My legs also started to feel noticeably sore and swollen!

They used to do extra training every morning as well.

I've never pushed my morning exercise to this intensity for several days in a row!

Let's look at three more recruits.

Gawa was also carrying 20 kilograms.

Although his breathing became heavier, his steps remained consistent.

His years of running in pastoral areas and mountains have given him exceptional stability during long periods of heavy-duty movement.

Wei Shanjia was carrying 35 kilograms on his back.

In the latter half of the race, they even had the energy to suddenly accelerate and sprint forward!

This guy from the sports academy is ridiculously strong physically!

Shen Yan, who was at the very front, was even more outrageous.

A full forty kilograms of weight was pressing down on my back.

His pace and breathing have not changed significantly from the beginning until now!

It was as if the weight on his back was not forty kilograms at all.

It's just a little heavier than a regular backpack!

Ma Huijun gritted his teeth and ran a few laps.

Seeing Shen Yan's still steady back view, my feelings became more and more complicated.

They had trained for several more years than the three recruits.

As a result, I now have to add extra training on my own and control the weight just to barely keep up!

Shen Yan is like he's got a cheat code!

Who can I complain to about this?

An hour later, the reveille sounded in the camp.

The nine people gradually slowed down and stopped at the edge of the playground.

The six veterans were covered in sweat.

I felt noticeably tired in my shoulders, back, and legs.

In contrast, among the three new recruits, Ga Wa's breathing became slightly rapid.

After Wei Shanjia was unloaded, he recovered quickly.

Shen Yan stretched his shoulders, still maintaining a very energetic state.

Xu Guodong couldn't help but look at Ma Huijun.

"These three guys really don't seem like normal people."

"How can they still have so much energy every day with this kind of training method?"

Ma Huijun remained silent.

Because he also wanted to know the answer!

……

After morning exercises and breakfast.

The entire class arrived at the training ground, ready to begin the day's formal training.

Just as Luo Zhiyong stood at the front of the line, Chen Gang walked over from a distance.

Everyone immediately stood at attention.

"Good morning, Company Commander!"

Chen Gang nodded, his gaze falling on Shen Yan.

"Shen Yan!"

"arrive!"

"Bring your 'Armored Vehicle Construction and Use' manual with you."

"Come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanjia and Ga Wa both turned to look at Shen Yan.

What's going on?

Is Shen Yan going to be taken away alone again?

Based on their experience over the past few months.

Every time Shen Yan leaves the team, he either masters a new skill or breaks a record when he returns!

Wei Shanjia couldn't help but ask:

"Shen Yan, where are you going again?"

"I already said yesterday that I want to practice with armored vehicles."

Wei Shanjia's expression froze instantly.

The little boy's eyes widened as well.

The three of them clearly joined the elite unit on the same day!

I'm still struggling with my first book, "Basic Armored Reconnaissance".

I haven't memorized all the technical terms in the book!

Is Shen Yan already preparing to go to the vehicle crew to get a closer look at the actual vehicle?

"Not a buddy!"

Wei Shanjia looked on in disbelief.

"You've only been in your unit for four days, and you're already going to drive armored vehicles?"

"Isn't this pace a bit over the top?"

When the veterans in the platoon heard that Shen Yan was going to the vehicle crew, a hint of surprise also appeared in their eyes.

When they first joined the unit, they studied for a long time before they had their first opportunity to come into contact with armored vehicles.

And Shen Yan has reached this point on the fourth day of his mission?

This pace is indeed ridiculously fast!

Chen Gang smiled slightly as he looked at the shocked expressions on the faces of the veterans and new recruits.

"Shen Yan was the soldier I took a liking to at first sight!"

"If I didn't have some amazing skills, wouldn't my reputation as an old talent scout be wasted?"

Chen Gang reached out and patted Shen Yan on the shoulder.

"Let's go, the crew will give it their all when we get there!"

"I'd like to see how long it takes you to learn how to drive an armored vehicle!"
