You've already received a first-class merit award, why are you pretending to be a new recruit a

Chapter 35: These words are even more painful than the class monitor's insults.

Just as Chen Jingxing pulled his neck back, Lei Zhan turned to another page of the register.

"Disciplinary inspection team, summarize the problems from each class."

"Yes."

The sergeant stuck the record board to his chest.

Lei Zhan swept across the entire company.

"Ten minutes later, a joint mini-test on firearms safety and disassembly/reassembly."

The tension that had just eased in the queue was reignited.

Chen Jingxing almost lost his balance.

"Company Commander, is this morning's session still going?"

Wang Dashan kicked the side of his shoe.

"You still want to apply for a nap?"

Chen Jingxing quickly stood up straight.

"Report, let me confirm the training intensity."

Lei Zhan didn't respond to him.

"Theoretical questions and practical procedures are scored together."

"Class rankings and individual issues will be announced on the spot."

Now no one dares to joke around anymore.

Over at Class Two, Chen Fei had already called Sun Ming over to him.

"Go through that memory technique you just used with them again."

Sun Ming, holding the notebook, suddenly perked up.

"Class monitor, the five-stage method?"

"Yes. Inspect the gun, disassemble, check, reassemble, and re-inspect. Three sentences per paragraph, no more, no less."

Sun Ming turned around, and several people from Class 2 waved to him.

"Listen to me, don't try to memorize the whole passage."

"The Disassembly Notes"

"The first sentence is about action, the second is about attention, and the third is about the consequences of mistakes."

Several new recruits from the second squad immediately surrounded them.

Someone whispered something.

"Class One has Xiao Longteng, and we have Sun Ming."

Sun Ming coughed.

"Don't talk nonsense, keep a low profile."

That's what he said, but the pen in his hand had already spun around twice.

He was never lacking in theoretical knowledge.

He admitted to losing after five kilometers.

He was caught quickly for dismantling and reassembling the parts, and he admitted it.

He has never been afraid of memorizing regulations, remembering procedures, or answering questions since he was a child.

Chen Fei patted his training folder.

"Class Two made up for the points they lost earlier today during safety class."

"Yes."

On the other side, no one from the class surrounded Xiao Longteng.

Wang Dashan simply dispersed the group.

"Everyone should memorize their own answers; don't expect anyone to speak for you in the exam room."

Chen Jingxing moved closer to Xiao Longteng.

"Brother Xiao, have you done any exam practice questions?"

Xiao Longteng is tidying up the training rifle sling.

"There are no predicted questions for the security questions."

Chen Jingxing's face fell.

"That's even more painful than the class monitor yelling at me."

Liu Hai squatted down beside him, spreading his small notebook on his lap.

The writing in the notebook was messy.

But each one was followed by a question: "Why?"

Keep your gun pointed away from people to prevent accidental injury.

Do not touch the trigger without an order—to prevent accidental triggering.

Upon receiving the gun, first inspect it to confirm its status.

Components are placed in a fixed position to prevent missed inspections.

Retesting – confirming safety after binding.

These are not things the instructors require students to write in class.

It was Xiao Longteng who asked him to fill in the blanks last night when he was reciting the story.

Liu Hai even asked about it back then.

"Brother Xiao, can't you just memorize the moves?"

Xiao Longteng only replied with seven words.

"When you forget the action, remember the purpose."

I don't fully understand bangs.

But he wrote it down exactly as instructed.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

The first part of the joint quiz has begun.

The sergeant stood in front of the table, holding a test card in his hand.

"Question 1: After receiving the training rifles, what are the necessary checks before returning to the unit?"

Sun Ming was the first to raise his hand.

"Report, muzzle direction is safe, finger off trigger, check weapon according to command, safety in place, return route avoids personnel."

"Add one point."

The atmosphere in Class Two suddenly became tense.

The sergeant drew the second question card.

"Can the re-inspection process be skipped?"

It's Sun Ming again.

"Report, no. Re-verification is the final check to confirm the bonding and safety status; omitting it will result in an error being handled according to procedure."

"Add one point."

Question 3.

"If the adjacent firing position fires first, and this firing position has not received the command, what should be done?"

Li Qiang managed to snag it this time.

"Report, maintain posture, await the command from your firing position, do not make any preemptive moves."

"Add one point."

Sun Ming folded the notebook in his palm and remained silent.

Chen Fei added a comment from behind.

"Don't rush, answer steadily."

In the theoretical section, Sun Ming scored four points out of ten questions.

Class 2 is currently in first place overall.

On Class One's side, only Xiao Longteng answered one question, Li Lei answered one question, Chen Jingxing answered half a question wrong, and Liu Hai didn't even get a chance to answer.

Wang Dashan stared at the scoreboard, his face remaining unchanged.

Chen Jingxing was worried.

"Damn it, Sun Ming is using cheat codes to endorse this."

Wang Dashan turned to the side.

"If you could recite it even half as well as he can, I'd scold you less tonight."

"Squad leader, is it too late for me to chase after him now?"

"There's still time, shut your mouth first."

After the theoretical session ended, Sun Ming returned to the second squad's line, and several new recruits gave him a thumbs up.

Sun Ming closed the notebook.

"No problem. Don't mess around with the practical exercises later, just follow the five steps I just taught you."

A new recruit from the second squad standing nearby looked a little worried.

"Didn't you just have your card checked once?"

"That's because you're quick."

Sun Ming patted the notebook.

"Anyone can follow a slow process. Don't rush, just do it the way you're told."

This news reached the back row of Class One.

Chen Jingxing immediately moved closer to Xiao Longteng.

"Brother Xiao, he said anyone can do a slow process."

Xiao Longteng did not answer.

Wang Dashan answered first.

"If that's what you think too, I'll let you stay slow until the lights go out this afternoon."

Chen Jingxing quickly stood up straight.

"Report: I respect slow processes."

Just as the practical exercise was about to begin, Lei Zhan suddenly put down the question card.

"Let's change the rules."

The whole company was given a meal.

Sun Ming also raised his head.

Lei Zhan pointed to the training table.

"I've already answered the theory question."

"Next, each recruit will explain the current safety objective while performing the operation."

"Only the step name is reported; the full score will not be awarded."

There was immediate movement in the queue.

Sun Ming stopped writing on the notebook in his hand.

Chen Fei didn't say anything more.

Sergeant Major Supplemented.

"For example, we can't just talk about 'gun inspection,' we have to talk about what the gun inspection is for to confirm and what it is to prevent."

"Continuous operation means continuous explanation."

"If the pause lasts more than three seconds, points will be deducted."

Chen Jingxing took a breath.

"This isn't a test of your hands, it's a test of your mouth and brain working together."

Wang Dashan stared at him.

"Your mouth is usually the fastest, so don't mess it up today."

"Squad leader, I may be quick to speak, but he might not know anything about guns."

"Then let your brain catch up."

Sun Ming was the first to go on stage.

Class Two wanted to suppress Class One, but Chen Fei didn't make any substitutions.

"Sun Ming, lead the charge."

"Yes."

Sun Ming walked to the training table and adjusted his position.

"Report, begin."

The first half went smoothly.

"Confirm the safe direction of the muzzle before receiving the weapon to prevent deviation during the handover."

"Remove your finger from the trigger position to prevent accidental firing."

"Inspect the weapon to confirm its condition and ensure safety during subsequent training."

The sergeant tapped the board.

No problem for now.

Sun Ming continued disassembling.

He slowed down the speed and put the parts into the designated area.

"The disassembled parts are placed in designated areas for the purpose of... to facilitate inspection."

Lei Zhan suddenly spoke.

"For whom is it convenient to inspect?"

Sun Ming paused for a moment.

"This report is for my and my instructors' review."

"What are you checking?"

"Check...check if all parts are complete and in good working order."

"continue."

Sun Ming's forehead was covered in sweat.

He continued walking down.

Before the retest, he habitually reported the names of the steps.

"Re-examination—"

The sergeant raised his hand.

"Purpose."

Sun Ming got stuck.

He knew the answer.

However, in the five-step method I just memorized, I only memorized "cannot be omitted, final check, and error handling" for the review.

That's not what Lei Zhan wants.

Sun Ming moved his lips twice.

"The purpose of this report is... to confirm according to procedure..."

Lei Zhan interrupted him directly.

"Don't use procedures to explain procedures."

The back row of the second class line quieted down.

Sun Ming repeated what he had said.

"Report: The purpose of the retest is to confirm the safety of the combined state and prevent problems from entering the next training stage."

The sergeant bowed his head and took notes.

"Pause once, then complete the explanation."

When Sun Ming returned to the team, the second squad's initial enthusiasm had diminished considerably.

Chen Fei didn't scold him.

"Being able to recite it isn't enough."

Sun Ming tucked the notebook back into his arm.

"Yes."

Next up is Li Qiang.

He is more likely to make the first move than Sun Ming.

Zhao Hai gave him a heads-up.

"A beat too slow."

Li Qiang forced himself to slow down.

I stumbled once when explaining my purpose, but nothing serious happened.

Zhao Hai made a mark on the training folder.

"It works."

When it was the turn of Class One, Wang Dashan called on Xiao Longteng first.

"Xiao Longteng, go."

"Yes."

Xiao Longteng walked to the table.

Don't steal.

No delay.

Before each action, stop according to the command.

"The purpose of confirming the safe direction of the gun muzzle is to prevent it from being pointed at people or unsafe areas during training."

"Remove your finger from the trigger position to prevent accidental firing."

"The purpose of inspecting the firearm is to confirm its condition and ensure that subsequent disassembly and reassembly can be carried out under safe conditions."

He speaks slowly.

All the vocabulary used is from the textbook.

Not a single extra word was said.

The instructor listened attentively.

Lei Zhan added a sentence after his re-examination.

"Anything else to add?"

Xiao Longteng stands at attention.

"Report, the requirements for the new recruit training materials have been explained."

Wang Dashan's teeth clenched.

That sounds proper.

That's too proper.

He took back everything from the rules to any extraneous experience.

Lei Zhan paused for two seconds.

"Return to the team."

"Yes."

Chen Jingxing muttered to himself.

"Brother Xiao got a perfect score; it's practically the standard answer."

Wang Dashan turned his head.

Chen Jingxing immediately shut up.

Next, Wang Dashan didn't mention Chen Jingxing.

He styled his bangs.

"Liu Hai, go."

Liu Hairen stood frozen in place.

"Report, it's me?"

"You."

Liu Hai walked forward carrying the training gun, his right foot still hesitant to put full weight on it.

Someone from Class Two glanced this way.

Everyone knows that this is a weakness of Class 1.

Last place in the five-kilometer race.

Decomposition and combination are the slowest processes.

I didn't manage to get a spot even after answering the questions.

Sun Ming was holding his breath, but when he saw Liu Hai come on stage, he felt a little relieved.

Liu Hai stood in front of the table and swallowed hard.

"Report, begin."

His movements were slow.

The sergeant looked up once.

But he didn't falter at any of his steps.

"Not reaching out before receiving the gun is to prevent any hasty actions that could compromise the safety of the handover."

"After receiving the gun, first confirm the direction of the muzzle to ensure that it stays within the safe zone."

"The finger should not be in the trigger position to prevent accidental firing."

He spoke slowly.

But I can explain it clearly.

He paused for two seconds when it came time to disassemble it.

Just as Wang Dashan was about to speak, Xiao Longteng uttered a single word from the queue.

"look."

Liu Hai looked down, first at the table, then at the location of the components.

"Removing parts and placing them in a designated area is to prevent omissions and oversights, and also to facilitate instructors' inspections."

The sergeant paused for a moment.

"continue."

The bangs were finished.

Final verification.

He memorized this step the most last night.

"The purpose of the retest is to confirm the state after assembly, confirm the safety and muzzle direction, and prevent proceeding to the next stage of training with errors."

The instructor stepped forward to inspect.

No security error.

The sergeant added a sentence.

"The explanation is complete."

In the first class's line, Chen Jingxing almost jumped up.

Wang Dashan raised his hand in advance.

"If you dare to shout, then you'll get extra practice."

Chen Jingxing forced himself to keep his voice down, and just gave Liu Hai a thumbs up.

Liu Hai was still recovering when he returned to the team.

"Brother Xiao, did I leak anything?"

Xiao Longteng was still standing in the queue.

"No leaks."
