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

On the playground.

The second class followed behind Gao Zhenhai, running laps along the track.

At first, everyone was quite relaxed.

After all, Gao Zhenhai didn't start by increasing his speed.

His running rhythm was very steady, with small strides and very even breathing, clearly the standard running style of a veteran.

The speed is not fast, but it is definitely not slow either.

Shen Yan obediently followed behind Gao Zhenhai.

Ga Wa was beside him, but neither of them spoke much.

Shen Yan knew that this run would test his perseverance, so he adopted the tactic of running alongside Gao Zhenhai from the very beginning.

Ga Wa, a local, had already foreseen the finish line of this "run until dark" event.

So, like Shen Yan, he conserved his energy from the very beginning.

But Wei Shanjia was different.

For the first two laps, he ran alongside Class Two.

After running only a few laps, he started to act strangely.

He looked left and right.

Then I looked at Gao Zhenhai's speed.

Finally, unable to resist, he moved closer to Shen Yan.

"brother."

"Isn't this speed a bit slow?"

Shen Yan glanced at him.

"You think it's slow?"

Wei Shanjia nodded.

"Wait a minute, I feel like I haven't even warmed up yet!"

"Won't you break a sweat running at that speed until dark?"

Shen Yan: "..."

He suddenly realized that Wei Shanjia's mouth would get him killed sooner or later.

Ga Wa glanced at Wei Shanjia from the side, wanting to say something to remind him.

But after glancing at Gao Zhenhai, who had already turned his head away, he hesitated to speak.

Forget it.

Some pitfalls you only realize after you've fallen into them yourself.

Wei Shanjia was clearly unaware of the problem.

He noticed that some students in the classes ahead of him were also secretly speeding up, and his eyes lit up immediately!

He's a new recruit.

When you first arrive at the army, who's going to respect whom?

Nobody wants others to think they're incapable!

In particular, many of these college student soldiers are athletes, and many have trained in long-distance running!

Although no one said it, everyone was holding back a lot of energy.

Everyone wants to get a second glance from their squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander.

Especially since it was their first time running out, they all wanted to do their best!

Needless to say, Wei Shanjia was even worse.

He graduated from the Sports Academy of Fudan University, and was admitted to a sports school through the proper entrance exam!

I specialize in long-distance running and am at a first-level (Level 1) with a goal of becoming a national-level athlete!

If someone beats you in a race, how can you save face?

Soon, a tall, thin recruit in the platoon ahead began to accelerate.

That person had good running form; it was obvious they had practiced.

Upon seeing this, Wei Shanjia immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Why."

"This is interesting, buddy, let's go check him out!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan shook his head helplessly.

"You big idiot, this trip was supposed to be a test of endurance, why are you trying to compete in speed?"

Shen Yan glanced at Gao Zhenhai, wanting to subtly remind Wei Shanjia.

The next second, Wei Shanjia rushed out of the second squad!

He caught up with the new recruit in a few steps, then turned around and beckoned to him.

"Come."

"Want to practice?"

Upon hearing this, the new recruit paused for a moment.

Then, he turned to look at Wei Shanjia.

The two young people looked at each other.

The smell of gunpowder instantly filled the air!

The other party sneered.

"Run then."

"Whoever loses is a coward!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanjia became even more excited.

"OK!"

"I like you just the way you are!"

"Come on, let's do five laps!"

The two accelerated almost simultaneously.

It was originally just two new recruits in the same class competing against each other.

As a result of the two of them running, several other new recruits from the other platoons who were physically fit couldn't sit still any longer.

One student rushed out from Class 1.

Two more students from Class Two rushed out as well.

Three people rushed out from the third class.

A new recruit from the fourth platoon, as strong as a calf, also followed.

……

Soon, a few people formed a makeshift lap team on the track.

These people were all incredibly defiant.

Nobody wants to fall.

Everyone wanted to prove that they were the fastest runner among this batch of new recruits!

The atmosphere on the playground suddenly became lively.

The other recruits watched with wide eyes.

"Holy crap, they're really going for it!"

"These guys are really something!"

"Aren't you worried about running out of energy later on, running like that from the very beginning?"

"Are these guys all athletes? Are they planning to keep running laps until dark?"

……

Shen Yan watched Wei Shanjia's retreating figure, his expression somewhat complicated.

All he could say was that this guy was truly brave.

It's one thing to not know what time it gets dark in Xinjiang, but to actually dare to rush into the lap right away is another.

This isn't about passion.

This is just Chun Chun intensifying her own efforts.

Ga Wa watched Wei Shanjia's retreating figure and sighed softly.

"Sigh, will this friend regret it?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Probably...."

Beside the playground.

Chen Gang stood with several cadres.

When they saw Wei Shanjia and his group start rushing through the circle, they not only didn't stop them, but they all smiled.

Xu Chenghu, the company commander of the Steel Knife Company, was also present.

He was burly, with dark skin and bright eyes that gave off a menacing aura when he looked at people.

Xu Chenghu looked at the few new recruits sprinting along the track and couldn't help but chuckle.

"These soldiers are interesting."

"Especially that tall guy from Class Two, he charged really fast."

"You have that same rebellious streak, Chen Gang, from back in the day!"

"Give him a good lesson, and he'll definitely be a good soldier!"

Chen Gang's expression froze.

"Company Commander, you're being too sharp-tongued back then, weren't you?"

Xu Chenghu glanced at him.

"You were even more prickly than him back then. I remember you got into a fight on your very first day here!"

Chen Gang immediately fell silent.

The worst thing about having a bad past when you're young is when your boss remembers it well.

Especially veteran company commanders like Xu Chenghu.

Not only does he remember it very clearly, but he can also bring it up in public!

Chen Gang quickly changed the subject.

"But rushing fast is useless; we're not here to see who can run the fastest in the shortest amount of time today."

"This is until dark."

"If those guys can keep going after finishing the laps, that'll be real skill!"

Xu Chenghu nodded.

"It's a good thing that young people are energetic."

"In the military, we are not afraid of new recruits who are competitive, but we are afraid of them who do not compete for anything, do not fight for anything, and just drift through life every day."

"Problematic soldiers can be tamed, but cowardly soldiers are hard to manage!"

After speaking, Xu Chenghu looked at Chen Gang.

"Gangzi, keep a close eye on things."

"If there are any truly promising recruits among this batch, we should definitely send them to our Steel Knife Company!"

Chen Gang nodded immediately.

"Don't worry, Company Commander."

"Over the years, I haven't let a single promising talent slip by."

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Shen Yan again.

Wei Shanjia and the others were in Chongquan.

Shen Yan followed Gao Zhenhai obediently, neither too fast nor too slow, with steady breathing and a steady pace.

It seemed as if he was completely unaffected by the competition from others.

As Chen Gang looked at it, he suddenly smiled.

"The one at Fudan University School of Medicine is even more interesting."

Xu Chenghu asked:

"Which one?"

Chen Gang raised his chin.

"The one following behind Gao Zhenhai."

"Shen Yan, the one who saved someone at the training ground today."

Xu Chenghu's eyes lit up.

"Is it him?"

"Come on, let me see!"

He followed Chen Gang's gaze and indeed saw Shen Yan.

Shen Yan's speed wasn't fast.

But it's very stable.

In the entire Class Two, he wasn't as eye-catching as Wei Shanjia.

He wasn't particularly adapted to the environment like local soldiers like Ga Wa, but he gave off a strange vibe.

It was a feeling of clearly controlling the rhythm.

It was as if he already knew that this race wasn't about who could sprint the fastest, but about who could last the longest.

Chen Gang laughed:

"This kid's smart."

"They probably realized we'd set a trap for them, so they were conserving their energy from the start."

Xu Chenghu also laughed.

"Interesting. He's smart, physically fit, and even knows medicine."

"We really need to keep a close eye on this soldier. I heard that Old Zheng from the medical company is trying to poach Shen Yan!"

"Gangzi, you'd better keep a close eye on him!"

……

On the runway.

Shen Yan ignored the stares from outside.

After running at Gao Zhenhai's pace for more than ten minutes, system prompts began to appear in his mind.

[Host detected participating in sustained long-distance running training in the recruit company!]

[Cardiorespiratory endurance training in progress!]

[Integrating knowledge on assessing exercise fatigue!]

[New recruits are undergoing adaptation training!]

At first, the prompts were similar to those before.

It's nothing more than endurance, fatigue assessment, and physical adaptation.

However, as time went on, Shen Yan clearly felt that the system prompts began to change.

[The host has been detected using his lower limb muscles for an extended period of time!]

[Muscle fatigue recovery knowledge is being linked!]

[Analysis of Post-Exercise Relaxation and Recovery Techniques!]

[Basic knowledge of Tuina massage is being integrated!]

Shen Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

Tuina massage?

This was something he hadn't expected.

In his previous life, he was trained in emergency surgery, which, in medical terms, would be called modern medicine.

He was familiar with emergency care, trauma, surgery, and diagnosis.

But massage is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which he has never studied.

After all, his work environment is the emergency room and operating table, not the rehabilitation department or the traditional Chinese medicine massage department.

But now that I've been running for so long, my lower limb muscles are under continuous strain, and my body is gradually becoming fatigued.

The system actually linked exercise recovery with massage.

That logic makes sense.

Running causes muscle fatigue, which requires rapid recovery.

The recovery process involves relaxation, stretching, myofascial release, and massage techniques.

As Shen Yan ran, he felt a flood of knowledge entering his mind.

This knowledge is not simply about telling him where a certain acupoint is, nor is it just about instilling a bunch of formulas.

Instead, it combines muscle direction, fascia layers, joint range of motion, acupoint location, and specific techniques.

Pressing, kneading, grasping, pushing, rolling, plucking...

And methods for treating problems such as calf muscle soreness, quadriceps fatigue, discomfort around the knee joint, and stiffness in the lower back...

Everything began to become clearer in his mind little by little!

This surprised Shen Yan.

Others get more and more tired the more they run.

The more he ran, the clearer the knowledge in his mind became!

This feels absurd.

But he really liked it!

After running for about an hour, the system notification sounded again.

[Congratulations, host, on mastering the basic theories of Tuina massage!]

[Congratulations, host, your massage skills have reached the minor mastery level!]

[Current skill level: Capable of independently handling common post-exercise muscle fatigue, localized soreness, and mild strain!]

Shen Yan's eyes lit up.

Good guy.

Running for an hour, and you've already mastered some massage techniques?
