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

The next morning, before dawn.

The new recruits in the dormitory were sleeping soundly.

Wei Shanjia was sleeping sprawled out on his back, one leg dangling off the edge of the bed, muttering to himself.

"Stop running..."

"I really can't run anymore..."

Ga Wa slept more soundly, though he was huddled under the covers, looking as if he had already gotten used to the chill of the early morning in the Xinjiang region.

Shen Yan opened his eyes before the reveille sounded.

I glanced at the still dark sky outside the window, then at my watch.

It's exactly five o'clock.

There's still half an hour until the 5:30 reveille.

Shen Yan's heart stirred slightly.

This must be the effect of yesterday's system rewards for adapting to military life and maintaining proper housekeeping.

His body seemed to have been pre-calibrated; when it was time to wake up, his biological clock would wake him up on its own.

This feeling is wonderful.

In his previous life, when he was in the hospital, Shen Yan often woke up early.

But that kind of early awakening isn't the natural awakening I experience now.

It was a conditioned reflex born from the pressure of being on duty, in emergency situations, writing papers, and receiving messages from the director!

When I wake up, I am exhausted. My first thought is always how many medical records I haven't written, how many doctor's orders I haven't completed, and how many surgeries I need to perform today.

But things are different now.

He woke up very well, his body recovered very well, and his mental state was also quite good!

He hadn't felt this comfortable in a long time, except when he was a child!

Shen Yan didn't waste any more time lying in bed, but quietly got out of bed.

Last night, Gao Zhenhai talked about the internal affairs standards, and the system also instilled the internal affairs organization standards into his mind.

How to fold the quilt, how to press the edges, how to pinch the seams, how to lay the sheets, how to arrange the pillows, how to align the shoes, water cup, towel and toiletries...

These standards are not just a bunch of rigid words, but rather a complete process, clearly laid out in Shen Yan's mind.

For ordinary new recruits, folding their blankets is like fighting with the blankets.

They pressed it down with their hands and pushed it with their knees, but after all that effort, the blanket was still soft where it should be soft and collapsed where it should collapse.

Shen Yan folded the quilt, but it looked more like she was performing a delicate surgery.

He first laid the quilt out completely, patted the cotton inside evenly, then folded both sides inward according to the standard, and then pressed the stitches, trimmed the corners, and pinched the edges little by little.

A dozen minutes later, he managed to straighten a cotton quilt into the shape of a tofu block.

Although it's not quite up to the level of a veteran whose sharp features are so distinct that you could measure them with a ruler.

But for a new recruit on his second day in camp, this effect was already ridiculously bad!

Shen Yan then arranged all her toiletries, books, clothes, and shoes according to the standards for personal hygiene.

Belts, hats, and clothing were all placed in designated locations.

After doing all that, he brushed his teeth, washed his face, and tidied his clothes.

Button up your clothes, tighten your belt, straighten your hat, and arrange your shoelaces to a length that won't drag.

When he stood at the door, he looked clean and neat, not at all like a new recruit who had only been in the camp for two days.

He seems like a seasoned veteran who's been in the military for years!

5:30.

The reveille suddenly sounded.

The sharp blast of the horn instantly shattered the silence in the dormitory.

The dormitory of Class Two erupted in chaos.

Several new recruits sat up abruptly as if struck by lightning, their eyes still glazed over, unable to process whether they were in the dormitory or on the parade ground for a long time.

Ga Wa got off the bed and touched his shoes with his eyes closed.

After searching for a long time, he finally touched Wei Shanjia's smelly shoes, which almost made the little boy faint from the stench.

Several people sat on the bed, hugging their blankets, looking completely bewildered, as if pondering why their lives had suddenly turned out this way.

Wei Shanjia fared even worse.

He pushed himself too hard in the first half of the race yesterday and then pushed himself until dark. His body hadn't fully recovered, and when he was woken up by the reveille, he was completely dazed.

"Holy crap, didn't I just lie down?"

Just then, Gao Zhenhai's voice boomed in from the doorway.

"get up!"

"Everyone, get dressed, wash up, and come downstairs to assemble within five minutes!"

"Hurry up!"

Class Two was instantly thrown into chaos.

Some people couldn't find their socks, some had their shoelaces tied in a knot, and some had buttoned their clothes wrong without even noticing.

Some people rushed to the washroom looking completely bewildered, only to realize after taking just a couple of steps that they hadn't brought their toothbrush cup.

Shen Yan, however, was already dressed and walked out of the dormitory.

Wei Shanjia groggily looked up and saw his back, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Holy crap.

"Hey bro, when did you get up?"

Shen Yan turned around and glanced at him.

"Half an hour ago."

Wei Shanjia was completely dumbfounded.

"Are you sick in the head?"

"The reveille hasn't even gone off, and you're getting up by yourself?"

Shen Yan's tone was very natural.

"I slept until I naturally woke up, and since I had nothing to do, I got up to tidy up my room."

Wei Shanjia: "..."

When Shen Yan went downstairs, there was no one there.

The morning breeze was a bit chilly, the lights in the distance on the training field were still on, and the camp was so quiet that you could hear your own footsteps on the ground.

Shen Yan walked to the assembly point and stood in the designated position.

Not long after, a squad leader came down from upstairs.

Shen Yan had met this person yesterday; he was the squad leader of Class One, named Cao Jianfeng, and also a second-term sergeant.

Cao Jianfeng is a meticulous person, and his leadership style is even tougher than Gao Zhenhai's. He always looks at people with a critical eye.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw a new recruit already standing at the assembly point and was clearly taken aback.

Upon closer inspection, the other person was neatly dressed, with a hat straight, a tight belt, and no loose shoelaces; their posture was also good.

Cao Jianfeng frowned.

"Are you Shen Yan from Class Two?"

Shen Yan answered immediately.

"Yes, sir!"

Cao Jianfeng glanced upstairs, then at Shen Yan, his tone clearly tinged with suspicion.

"You came down so quickly?"

"Is the blanket folded?"

Shen Yan replied.

"Reporting, squad leader, it's folded up."

Cao Jianfeng clearly didn't believe it.

The second day of camp.

It was already quite unusual for a new recruit to be dressed and go downstairs so quickly after the reveille had sounded.

And now you're saying the blankets are folded?

Isn't this just fooling people?

Cao Jianfeng spoke directly.

"You probably just rolled up that blanket anywhere, right?"

"Let's go back and take another look."

"If the recruits don't do a good job with their barracks, you'll be the one getting scolded later!"

Before Shen Yan could speak, Gao Zhenhai's voice came from the stairwell.

"Cao Jianfeng, aren't you being a bit nosy?"

Gao Zhenhai came downstairs and immediately saw Cao Jianfeng scolding Shen Yan. His expression turned somewhat displeased.

He strode over and stood directly next to Shen Yan.

"Who are you to train my second platoon's soldiers?"

Cao Jianfeng snorted coldly.

"I'm reminding him."

"If you're thinking about rushing to assemble on your first day as a new recruit, don't let your quarters become a mess and embarrass your squad leader as well."

Gao Zhenhai's smile was forced and insincere.

"I can give you a reminder, but don't try to use your class's authority to control my class."

The moment they opened their mouths, tensions rose.

Shen Yan, standing to the side, almost instantly understood the situation.

These two are not just arguing.

They were clearly competing.

Shen Yan speculated that Gao Zhenhai and Cao Jianfeng were likely competing for their team performance this year, which might even involve the selection of players to stay in the team.

The class with the best-performing recruits has the greatest advantage.

No wonder Cao Jianfeng saw him come down so quickly and immediately suspected that his housekeeping was substandard.

This is not directed at him.

This is because the competition between the class monitors has affected him!

After defending himself, Gao Zhenhai turned to look at Shen Yan.

"Xiao Shen, have you really tidied up your room?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Reporting, squad leader, it's all sorted out."

Gao Zhenhai asked.

"Where's the blanket?"

Shen Yan answered calmly.

"Following the housekeeping standards, everything was folded, stitched, and corners trimmed. The bed, shoes, toiletries, and personal belongings were all arranged according to the standards!"

Gao Zhenhai was taken aback.

This doesn't sound like nonsense; it sounds like someone who really knows what they're talking about.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Have you memorized the internal affairs regulations?"

Shen Yan replied.

"Reporting, squad leader, I watched it twice last night and have basically memorized it."

Gao Zhenhai's eyes lit up immediately.

There's still a commotion upstairs, so the other recruits definitely won't be able to come down anytime soon.

He seized the opportunity and began to test Shen Yan.

"Then let me ask you, what is the standard for folding a quilt?"

Shen Yan answered almost without pausing.

"After folding, the quilt should be folded with sharp edges, flat and tight, and placed in the designated position on the bed. The edge line should be consistent with the edge of the bed. The bed surface should not be messy, and the overall bed should be kept neat and uniform."

Gao Zhenhai was taken aback.

This answer was not only fluent, but also very well-organized.

Cao Jianfeng stood to the side, a hint of surprise on his face!

This new recruit didn't just memorize a couple of lines to appease his squad leader.

He truly remembered every single word!

Gao Zhenhai immediately became interested and continued to ask:

"Where should I put the toiletries?"

Shen Yan's answer remained steady.

"Tooth cups, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, etc. should be placed according to the uniform requirements of the squad and platoon, facing the same direction, neatly in a line, and kept clean and dry after use. They should not be piled up randomly."

Gao Zhenhai's smile was starting to spread across his face.

He asked again.

"What about clothing storage?"

Shen Yan continued reciting:

"Personal clothing should be neatly folded according to category and placed in designated locations, and should not be piled up haphazardly."

Frequently used items should be kept separate from spare items. Return items to their proper place after use and keep the cabinet tidy.

Gao Zhenhai was genuinely delighted.

Good guy.

Shen Yan, that kid, can really memorize the regulations!

The key is that they don't just memorize; when they answer, they can match the housekeeping standards with the actual cleaning steps.

What does this tell us?

This shows he truly understood!

Just as Shen Yan continued answering, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Host detected to be undergoing basic training in memorizing recruit regulations!]

[Understanding and improving of military life regulations!]

[High-temperature training in Xinjiang poses a risk!]

[Knowledge of heatstroke recognition and on-site first aid is beginning to be integrated!]

Shen Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

Holy crap?

Memorizing regulations counts as training?

And it's also related to heatstroke treatment?

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

This is not surprising.

The climate in Xinjiang is dry with large temperature differences between day and night. If the training takes place during the day and is exposed to high temperatures and intense sunlight, coupled with the lack of water, new recruits are prone to heat injury.

The Internal Affairs Regulations and Military Life Norms emphasize routines, drinking water, personal hygiene, training discipline, and collective management, which are inherently related to the prevention of training injuries.

This system combines the memorization of regulations with a real training environment.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Introduction to Heatstroke Recognition and On-site First Aid!]

[We can now make a preliminary assessment of the risks of common heat injuries in training grounds, such as mild heatstroke, heat cramps, and heat exhaustion, and understand the basic treatment procedures!]

Shen Yan was immediately overjoyed.

Good guy.

Get up early to memorize regulations, and you can also learn about heatstroke treatment.

This recruit training camp is truly a place where you can gain experience points everywhere!

Several more class leaders came downstairs one after another.

They were originally waiting for their own platoon of new recruits to assemble, but when they saw Gao Zhenhai and Cao Jianfeng surrounding Shen Yankao, they immediately joined in.

The class monitor of Class Three asked casually:

What are the requirements for a set?

Shen Yan answered very steadily.

"Upon hearing the assembly command, you should quickly proceed to the designated location, line up as required, and ensure that your actions are swift, your formation is neat, and your concentration is maintained. You must not delay, make noise, or leave the formation without permission."

Seeing this, the class monitor of Class 4 also became interested.

What are the basic requirements for submitting a request for instructions or a report?

Shen Yan still didn't experience any lag.

"When performing tasks, receiving orders, or reporting situations, military personnel should request instructions and make reports in accordance with regulations."

The content must be accurate, the attitude serious, and the language concise. You must not conceal, delay, or handle issues beyond your authority.

The class monitor of Class 5, not believing in superstitions, asked about a few more obscure rules of conduct.

Shen Yan still recited it all out of memory.

The way the class monitors looked at Shen Yan gradually changed.

When did this kid memorize that?

Didn't they stay up until dark last night, having dinner and meetings, and then go back and get massages?

Where did he find the time to memorize the Internal Affairs Regulations and Basic Recruit Rules so well?

One of the class monitors couldn't help but ask:

"Shen Yan, do you have some kind of photographic memory?"

Shen Yan scratched his head and said very sincerely:

"Reporting to the squad leader, we still don't have photographic memory."

The squad leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

This person is fairly normal.

Then Shen Yan added another sentence.

"We're just ordinary people, we can't compare to those people who have photographic memories, but if I look at it two or three times, I can basically remember it."

Several class monitors: "..."

That's no better than saying you have a photographic memory!

Having a photographic memory is a talent, and they can accept their fate.

The idea of ​​memorizing most of the content after reading it two or three times sounds even more discouraging!

Cao Jianfeng couldn't help but look at Gao Zhenhai, his eyes filled with jealousy.

"Old Gao, your Class Two really struck gold this time!"

Gao Zhenhai's smile was so wide it almost split open, but he had to pretend to be calm.

"It's alright."

"We were just lucky!"

Several class monitors almost wanted to curse.

Is this what you call "okay"?

What about those new recruits upstairs who can't even get out of bed?

An uncivilized new species, right?

Gao Zhenhai became more and more satisfied with Shen Yan the more he looked at him.

This kid always manages to surprise me!

He had already started making plans in his mind.

If the regiment or military region holds a competition on regulations and rules this year, Shen Yan's memory and comprehension skills will definitely come in handy.

Others memorize regulations by cramming them into their brains, and even then, they might not remember them.

Shen Yan recited the regulations as if he were organizing medical knowledge points, categorizing them clearly and logically, and even directly relating them to actual actions.

If we actually win a prize then, it might be another opportunity to earn merit!

Gao Zhenhai found it increasingly wonderful.

With Shen Yan around, I might really take off this year!

Just as the squad leaders were still testing Shen Yan, Chen Gang and the instructor came down from upstairs.

The instructor was named Yang Wenjun, in his early thirties, wearing glasses, and had a gentler demeanor than Chen Gang.

But don't underestimate him; this guy has very sharp eyes and is clearly the kind of political cadre who is very good at observing people.

As he approached, he heard Shen Yan reciting the Internal Affairs Regulations.

After memorizing a section, there were almost no pauses.

Chen Gang was taken aback.

"What are you doing?"

Gao Zhenhai immediately reported with a smile.

"Reporting to the deputy company commander and political instructor, I'm testing Shen Yan on the Internal Affairs Regulations."

"This kid watched it twice last night, and today he can recite it all from memory, word for word!"

Chen Gang's eyes lit up.

Yang Wenjun also clearly became interested.

"You can memorize it after reading it twice?"

Shen Yan replied.

"Report to the instructor: I can't remember everything verbatim, but I can basically recall the main clauses and requirements."

Yang Wenjun nodded and casually asked a few questions.

Shen Yan's answer remained steady.

Yang Wenjun's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"This person has good memory and comprehension skills. We can focus on developing these skills in their future studies of regulations and laws."

Chen Gang smiled too.

"I knew this kid was a good prospect."

"Such an all-around soldier is truly rare!"

"They're all treasures!"

Gao Zhenhai listened from the side and felt very pleased.

Cao Jianfeng stood aside, feeling incredibly envious.

A few minutes later, the new recruits finally came down from upstairs one after another.

Compared to Shen Yan's condition just now, these new recruits were simply in a sorry state.

Some people haven't even noticed that their clothes are buttoned up wrong, some people's hats are askew, and some people's shoelaces are loose and dragging...

Wei Shanjia fastened his belt as he ran, muttering complaints under his breath.

"I always said that the military's requirement to get up early is inhumane."

"I ran like that yesterday, and I still have to get up at 5:30 this morning. It's definitely not as comfortable as being at school!"

"If it weren't for my father insisting I sign up, who would want to join the army!"

……

Gawa is in a slightly better condition than most people, but his eyes are still not fully open.

After the new recruits in each class stood up loosely, several of them were still yawning.

Clearly, their minds hadn't fully come off the bed along with their bodies.

Chen Gang, who had just been all smiles because Shen Yan was reciting the regulations, changed his expression instantly upon seeing this scene.

That was a complete 180-degree turn!

One second they were like they'd discovered a treasure.

The next second it was like discovering a bunch of little devils who were dragging us down!

Chen Gang walked to the front of the line and looked at them coldly.

"Are they all awake?"

No one dared to speak.

Chen Gang's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Are you all awake?"

The recruits were startled and quickly shouted:

"woke up!"

Chen Gang sneered.

"You guys don't look like you're awake; you look more like a bunch of potatoes that were just pulled out of bed."

"They were all standing crookedly, their clothes were messy, their shoelaces were tied haphazardly, and their hats were not worn straight."

"Is this the regulation you learned last night?"

"Is this how you recruits are on your second day?"

"The reveille didn't come down for ages. Are you waiting for the squad leader to come up and help you get dressed, or are you waiting for me to bring you water to wash your faces?"

A few words were delivered, and the dazed recruit instantly snapped out of his daze!

"Damn it, Company Commander Chen is furious!"

Wei Shanjia stood in the crowd, muttering to himself.

"Damn it, Company Commander Chen's voice is more effective than the reveille."

Ga Wa added insult to injury in a low voice.

"This 'scolding to wake up' service is free, right?"

Shen Yan stood at the front of the line, looking straight ahead, and almost couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Gang continued his lecture:

"I'm telling you, from today onwards, no one will wait for you to get used to it."

"The military won't let you sleep in longer today just because you were tired yesterday."

"What you need to do is keep up with the pace."

"If you can't keep up, practice more!"

"Did you understand?"

The recruits shouted in exceptional unison this time.

"clear!"

Chen Gang glanced at the ranks and gave the order in a cold voice.

"Everyone has it!"

"Ten minutes. Go back and tidy up your belongings, then come down and assemble for morning exercises!"

"I will personally go upstairs to check on you during your morning exercises!"

"If anyone's blanket is folded like a dog's kennel, I'll throw it down and you'll have to fold it again!"
