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

On the way to the cafeteria, Wei Shanjia listened to his grandfather's complaints about the arrangements made for him.

Shen Yan finally couldn't help but look at Wei Shanjia.

"Brother, I keep hearing Chen Gang mention your grandfather. You wouldn't happen to have a grandfather who's a lieutenant general and a father who's a martyr, like the main characters in those special forces TV dramas, would you?"

Hearing Shen Yan's words, Ga Wa, who was standing next to him, also turned his head curiously.

"Huh? Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a martyr father."

"My dad never served in the army. He wanted to go with my uncles to hunt monkeys, but my grandma stopped him."

Wei Shanjia quickly began to explain.

Upon hearing this, Ga Wa nodded seriously.

"Phew, I thought I'd accidentally wandered into the imperial palace. You were quite a scare!"

Shen Yan patted Ga Wa's shoulder seriously and joked in Ga Wa's tone.

"Hey friend, he only said he didn't have a martyr father, but he didn't say he didn't have a grandfather who was a lieutenant general!"

Ga Wa immediately realized what was happening and his eyes widened in surprise!

Holy crap!

Wei Shanjia quickly covered Shen Yan's mouth to stop him from talking nonsense.

"Shh!"

"This is something only the two of you should know; don't spread it around!"

Shen Yan broke free from Wei Shanjia's large hand, exchanged a glance with Ga Wa, and then began to sing at the same time:

"Accidentally~entered~the~heaven~home~"

"Get out of here! We're just ordinary recruits, don't give me this hellish mess!"

"Let's go eat in the cafeteria!"

……

On the way to the cafeteria at noon, Wei Shanjia was still muttering to himself, his mouth full of complaints about his old man.

Shen Yan and Ga Wa listened the whole way, occasionally adding a sarcastic remark.

Wei Shanjia was so angry that his face turned black, but he was too weak to argue with them.

After all, he had just run five kilometers carrying ten kilograms, so he now had to be careful even when he was cursing.

Once the three entered the cafeteria, Wei Shanjia's earlier resentment was instantly suppressed by the aroma of the food.

Today's lunch was really hard!

The main dish was a large pot of braised beef. The beef chunks were stewed until tender, the broth was thick, and the potatoes had absorbed the aroma of the meat.

There were also stir-fried greens, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a large bucket of white rice on the side.

The moment Wei Shanjia saw the braised beef, his eyes widened!

"Lifesaving food!"

"Guys, this is a lifesaver!"

After he finished speaking, he rushed forward with his tray, afraid that if he was too slow, the braised beef would be snatched up by the other recruits.

Gawa didn't stand on ceremony, carrying the plate and following behind, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Friend, this beef smells amazing! Eating it will give you the energy to keep training this afternoon!"

Shen Yan did not restrain himself as usual.

The morning training was extremely taxing.

It almost completely drained the energy from his body.

The system can help him adjust his training status and improve recovery efficiency, but it cannot magically prevent his body from consuming energy.

So he ate a very substantial meal!

Two large bowls of rice, a large portion of braised beef, and a bowl of hot soup.

He didn't stop eating until he felt noticeably full.

A system notification also sounded softly at that moment.

[Nutritional supplementation detected after host completed high-intensity training!]

[Muscle recovery efficiency is improving!]

Glycogen reserves are recovering!

[The body's recovery process is accelerated after weighted running!]

Upon hearing the prompt, Shen Yan couldn't help but recall the knowledge from his previous life.

Training isn't just about physical activity; you also need to know how to eat, how to recover, and how to pull your body back from a state of overexertion.

In his past life, he had seen too many people injured in hospitals due to unscientific training methods.

Now that it's his turn to train, Shen Yan understands the importance of these aspects even more clearly.

When they returned to the dormitory after dinner, all the new recruits in the second platoon were extremely sleepy.

The morning training was already grueling.

Add to that the dizziness from the food after eating, and everyone's eyelids started drooping as soon as they entered the dormitory.

Several new recruits almost instinctively walked to the bed, wanting to climb up and take a nap.

As soon as they lifted their legs, Gao Zhenhai's voice rang out from behind them.

"What are you doing?"

The recruits froze.

Gao Zhenhai walked in with a dark face, his gaze sweeping over the beds, and he sneered:

"Who gave you permission to get on the bed? The bed is for you to sleep on during the day whenever you want."

"The house was just tidied up this morning. If there's a spot check this afternoon, whoever's blanket is messy will have to go downstairs to pick it up!"

The new recruits' expressions changed instantly when they heard the words "collect blankets downstairs".

The image of the blanket flying down from upstairs is still vivid in my mind.

That scene was so impactful that no one wants to experience it again!

Seeing that they had quieted down, Gao Zhenhai continued to deliver the final blow:

"The other shifts' blankets have already been swapped with your comrades this morning. If you also want to experience the soreness of your comrades' feet, feel free to climb onto any bed and rub against them!"

These words brought everyone to their senses.

Wei Shanjia had already reached the edge of the bed, but upon hearing this, he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Squad leader, where are we going to sleep?"

Gao Zhenhai pointed to the stools and tables, his tone very natural.

"Sit on a stool, lie on a table, sleep for as long as you can, just don't mess up the bed."

Looking at the small stools and then at the neatly made beds, everyone felt a pang of sadness.

Wei Shanjia dragged his heavy legs to the stool, muttering to himself before slumping down:

"Now I understand. In recruit training, the beds aren't beds at all; they're just exhibits for show, you can only look at them, you can't touch them."

Ga Wa lay beside him, so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, but his mouth was still busy.

"Friend, you definitely can't just touch the exhibits, you'll have to pay for them if you break them."

Wei Shanjia was too exhausted to argue with him and could only bury his face in his arms.

The dormitory quickly quieted down.

A group of new recruits who had just finished eating were all slumped over the table, sleeping in all sorts of crooked positions.

This kind of lunch break was certainly not comfortable; necks were stiff, arms were numb, and there was nowhere to stretch out one's legs, but no one dared to complain.

After all, compared to sleeping under someone else's smelly blanket at night, sleeping on a table is an acceptable kind of suffering.

Not long after, the assembly whistle suddenly sounded.

This time, the new recruits in the second squad reacted much faster than in the morning.

Almost as soon as the whistle blew, everyone jumped up from their chairs as if they had been electrocuted!

After conducting a self-examination, he quickly rushed downstairs.

Wei Shanjia rubbed his neck as he ran, complaining under his breath.

"I felt like I was folded up and stuffed into a drawer during my nap. I felt uncomfortable all over."

Ga Wa followed behind and earnestly added:

"Friend, you're too big! It's a hassle to fit you in a drawer. The trash can would be a better option!"

Wei Shanjia was about to retort when he saw Chen Gang already standing at the edge of the training field, his gaze fixed on him and Shen Yan.

He immediately shut up.

Finished!

That man looked at him again!

The afternoon training proceeded without any surprises.

Ordinary recruits continued to practice drills, physical fitness, and basic movements with their respective squads.

Shen Yan and Wei Shanjia were singled out by Chen Gang again.

Carrying a 10-kilogram load for 5 kilometers.

I made two more trips in the afternoon.

On the first run, Wei Shanjia had learned his lesson and didn't rush forward with heavy bricks like he did in the morning.

But his pace remained rough, his backpack swayed noticeably, and by the second half of the race, his shoulders, back, calves, and knees all began to protest.

Shen Yan was also feeling bad.

With ten kilograms of weight pressing down on him, by the second half of the race, his shoulders and back ached, his calves felt heavy, and his breathing became increasingly labored.

Compared to Wei Shanjia, he knew better how to conserve energy, how to avoid distorted movements, and how to reduce the risk of injury when fatigued.

System notifications kept ringing.

[Host detected conducting multiple rounds of 5km training with a 10kg weight!]

[My weight-bearing running ability is continuously improving!]

[Shoulder and back load tolerance is improving!]

[Lower limb fatigue recognition ability is improving!]

[Enhance your knowledge of tactical transport and wounded evacuation!]

When the second weighted run began, even Wei Shanjia's chattering fell silent.

This person, who usually speaks a few words as long as he has a breath left, is now only able to gasp for air due to the pressure of running with a 10-kilogram weight.

Shen Yan also clearly felt the accumulation of fatigue.

Chen Gang kept a close eye on things from the side, and he himself wouldn't allow himself to stop.

If you want to join the special forces, shouting slogans won't work; you have to endure the training on the field!

When training ended in the evening, Wei Shanjia and Shen Yan practically dragged themselves back to the second class.

Wei Shanjia was swaying as he walked, and although Shen Yan could still maintain a basic posture, his face was noticeably paler than usual.

Seeing this, Ga Wa took the initiative to come over, one on each side, and pushed the two of them towards the dormitory building with a smile.

"The way you two are acting now, you look like two geese who've been sunburned and are practically staggering as you walk!"

Wei Shanjia glanced at him listlessly.

"Little boy, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Despite his laughter, Ga Wa didn't loosen his grip and actually helped push the two of them upstairs.

But as he kept pushing, his eyes became serious again.

Looking at Shen Yan and Wei Shanjia, who were almost pushed to their limits, he did not back down; instead, he became even more certain of his idea.

This road is truly arduous!

But everyone is here to join the army, so why can Shen Yan go and Wei Shanjia go, while he, the little boy, can only watch from the sidelines?

He wanted to try it too!

Even if they fail the special forces selection process, they have to die on the way!

Back in the dormitory, Wei Shanjia completely disregarded the rule that he couldn't touch the bed during the day.

He didn't even have time to put the kettle down after entering the room; he just collapsed onto the bed, sprawling out like a pancake.

"Nobody stop me."

"Even if my blanket is thrown out the window, I'll accept it!"

"I really can't go on."

Seeing Wei Shanjia like this, Shen Yan actually felt a little tempted to follow suit.

This afternoon's two 5-kilometer runs with weights have really taken a toll on his body.

All he wants to do right now is lie down, close his eyes, and not think about anything.

But as soon as Shen Yan sat down on the edge of the bed, he suddenly remembered something.

massage!

Previously, when he performed restorative massage on Wei Shanjia and Gao Zhenhai.

Not only can it help relieve the other person's fatigue, but it can also help you recover synchronously through the system, and it can also improve your massage skills and weight-bearing running ability!

Now that he's so exhausted, isn't massage the perfect way for him to recover?

Thinking of this, Shen Yan sat up straight and looked at Wei Shanjia, who was half-dead on the bed.

"Here, let me give you a massage."

Wei Shanjia, who had been pretending to be dead, came back to life the moment he heard those words.

He struggled to lift his head, his eyes even showing a hint of emotion.

"Brother, you're truly my brother."

"I thought I was going to be finished today, but I didn't expect you to still think of saving me!"

Just as Shen Yan was about to make his move, Wei Shanjia suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"But brother, I need to make this clear to you beforehand."

My grandfather is a very upright man; he would never agree to use connections.

Shen Yan's hand froze in mid-air.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Wei Shanjia.

Go through the back door?

What do you mean by "using connections"?

He just wanted to recover from his physical fatigue through massage and, incidentally, improve his weighted running ability.

Does this kid think that I'm giving him a massage to curry favor with him and then trying to get in touch with his grandfather?

Grass!

Do you think I, Shen Yan, am that kind of person?

Wei Shanjia hadn't realized he'd said the wrong thing, and he continued:

"Of course, there's definitely no problem with our relationship. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't value loyalty."

But getting into the special forces is something you have to do yourself; my grandfather definitely won't help..."

The next second, Shen Yan suddenly increased the force of his hand and pressed directly on the sore spot on the outside of Wei Shanjia's calf.

"Aww!"

Wei Shanjia jumped up from the bed.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

"Holy crap, bro, is this a massage or an interrogation?"

Shen Yan increased the force without expression.

"Do you think I, Shen Yan, am the kind of person who gets in through connections?"

"What do you take me for?"

Wei Shanjia was in so much pain that he rolled off the bed and onto the floor, clutching his legs and almost rolling on the spot.

"Brother, it's a misunderstanding!"

"I have a sharp tongue!"

"I was wrong!"

Shen Yan sneered and withdrew his hand immediately.

"Get lost, I'm not letting you press it anymore!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Gawa.

"Little one, come here, lie down on the bed, I'll give you a massage."

Wei Shanjia was completely dumbfounded.

"what?"

"No, bro, you can't do this!"

When Ga Wa heard that Shen Yan was going to give him a massage, his eyes lit up immediately!

"Really?"

"My friend, you're such a kind person!"

The little boy happily lay down on the bed and got into position.

Yesterday, he saw Wei Shanjia, and the squad leader and company commander were both being pressed down and felt extremely comfortable.

He could only be envious!

Who knew that today I'd get to enjoy it myself!

This is so awesome!

Wei Shanjia forced himself to get up from the ground despite the pain in his leg, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and very wrong thing at that!

After yesterday's massage, Wei Shanjia knew that Shen Yan's massage was really effective!

If we don't press it today, it might really crack if he has to run with weights tomorrow!

Wei Shanjia immediately lowered his head.

"Brother Shen."

"Uncle Shen".

"Dr. Shen!!!"

"I misspoke earlier, please forgive my rudeness and give me a massage!"

Shen Yan completely ignored him.

It doesn't matter who gets the press, it's all the same.

You can restore your strength by massaging the baby.

So Shen Yan had Ga Wa lie down and began to give him a restorative massage.

Ga Wa was quite excited at first, thinking that he was finally enjoying Shen Yan's special treatment.

As soon as Shen Yan pressed his hand on the sore spots in his calves and lower back, his expression immediately changed.

"Ouch."

"Friend, you're using a pretty strong grip."

Shen Yan calmly said, "Bear with it. You ran a lot of laps today, and your calves, back, and hips are all fatigued. If you don't massage them, they'll be even more sore during tomorrow's training."

Ga Wa gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Okay, I'll listen to what the miracle doctor says!"

During the massage, the system notification sounded again.

[Host detected performing post-exercise recovery massage!]

[Massage technique proficiency is improving!]

[The host is recovering from fatigue!]

[Improved Muscle Recovery After Weighted Running!]

[My weight-bearing running ability is continuously improving!]

Shen Yan could clearly feel that the fatigue in his body was gradually being relieved.

The soreness in my shoulders and back lessened, the heaviness in my calves gradually decreased, and my breathing became smooth again.

It was as if he was slowly recovering from being trained to his limit.

After the massage, Ga Wa recovered about half of his strength.

Ga Wa sat up in bed, stretched his legs, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Friend, this really works!"

"My legs felt like they'd been trampled by sheep, but they're much better now."

Wei Shanjia watched longingly from the side.

He was extremely anxious.

After a long wait, before Ga Wa could even get out of bed and say anything, the dormitory door was pushed open.

Gao Zhenhai is back.

As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Yan moving his wrists, Ga Wa looking comfortable, and Wei Shanjia looking expectant.

Gao Zhenhai's eyes lit up instantly.

"Xiao Shen, getting a massage?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Squad leader, a restorative massage."

Without saying a word, Gao Zhenhai walked over directly.

Wei Shanjia immediately panicked.

"Class monitor, I'm in line!"

Gao Zhenhai glanced at him.

"Why are you queuing? I think you haven't trained enough. How about I make you go run a couple more laps?"

Wei Shanjia: "..."

Gao Zhenhai shoved Wei Shanjia aside with a kick.

"Make way."

"The class monitor goes first!"

Wei Shanjia wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Squad leader, you're cutting in line!"

Gao Zhenhai retorted confidently, "I'm the class monitor, and you're the class monitor? Go away, get out of here!"

Wei Shanjia wanted to cry but had no tears.

He already felt the same way that Dog Squad Leader felt yesterday when Chen Gang chased him away.

A higher-ranking official can have absolute power over you!

Shen Yan did not refuse to massage Gao Zhenhai.

After all, the effect of massaging Gao Zhenhai was better than that of massaging ordinary recruits.

Gao Zhenhai usually trains at a high intensity, and he also has many old injuries, overuse injuries, and muscle tension.

In Shen Yan's eyes, this was practically a high-level experience pack!

Shen Yan began to massage Gao Zhenhai.

Gao Zhenhai initially tried to remain calm, but soon his expression crumbled.

"hiss."

"Xiao Shen, your technique is really something."

"I hadn't paid attention to this area before, but it feels much looser after pressing it."

While pressing, Shen Yan assessed the strain on Gao Zhenhai's shoulders, back, waist, and legs.

The system prompts continued to appear.

[Host detected performing rehabilitation massage for strain from veteran training!]

[Massage technique proficiency is improving!]

[Improved ability to recognize shoulder and back strain!]

[Improved lower limb fatigue recovery efficiency!]

[The host is recovering from fatigue!]

[My body is recovering faster after weighted running!]

After Gao Zhenhai finished massaging her, Shen Yan clearly felt that her body had fully recovered.

She was even in better shape than when she first returned to the dorm.

Wei Shanjia's eyes turned red as he watched from the side.

He waited a while, but it still wasn't his turn.

Someone who had been tormented by weighted running all day couldn't even get a massage appointment.

Is this reasonable?

Just when Wei Shanjia finally thought it was his turn, a sound came from the dormitory door again.

Is Comrade Shen Yan here?

Everyone turned their heads.

The soldiers from the medical unit who came yesterday came again.

He originally came to invite Shen Yan to give a lecture at the medical unit.

As soon as they entered, they saw Shen Yan giving Gao Zhenhai a massage.

Gao Zhenhai looked relaxed, Ga Wa stretched his legs beside him, while Wei Shanjia looked resentful.

The medics were stunned for a moment.

"Comrade Shen Yan, you can also give massages?"

Shen Yan nodded.

"I know a little massage."

The soldiers in the medical unit's eyes lit up immediately.

"How about you teach us this today?"

"Many soldiers in the medical unit commonly experience post-training recovery issues, muscle strain, and lower back and leg pain. This is incredibly useful!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan was also tempted.

Teaching massage?

Isn't that medical export?

Moreover, it is a medical output directly related to training and recovery.

This area of ​​experience is much more valuable than simply talking about theory!

Shen Yan nodded.

"Okay, I'll pack up and head over."

Wei Shanjia was completely stunned.

"brother."

"And what about me?"

Shen Yan glanced at him and said with a mischievous smile.

"You need test subjects for massages, would you like to try it?"
