Father, you've been drafted four times already, please spare us!

"Holy crap, what kind of look is this?"

"Old Ge, look! Why are there so many ginseng fruits hanging on the training ground?"

Zhang Zheng and Lao Ge had just finished their docking and were finally free to take a look at the training situation when they saw such a hilarious scene as soon as they stood at the window.

Hearing this, Lao Ge also came over, stood next to Zhang Zheng, and craned his neck to look out at the training field.

"This must be Chen Nian's doing. That kid has nothing else to do but focus on things like this!"

Old Ge could tell at a glance whose handiwork the training ground was.

"Hehe, you know what, although this kid's tricks are really outrageous, the effect is still quite remarkable!"

"That's one of the things I admire about this kid. He can make the new recruits look bad, but he doesn't do it with any malice. At most, he just adds a little spice to the recruits' boring training, which is very rare."

"To be honest, if this kid hadn't wanted to go back to his old unit, I would have really wanted to keep him here!"

Zhang Zheng's eyes held a hint of longing, and a touch of jealousy.

Jealousy! Why can a special forces soldier take away such a good soldier with just one sentence?

"Even without his original employer, you still can't keep this kid!"

Old Ge succinctly pointed out the crux of the problem: "He was born to be a king of soldiers. His abilities, drive, and intelligence will not be content to remain in the company. Only in special operations can he fully unleash his talents. Only when he truly faces those vicious and ruthless people can his cunning ideas truly chill people to the bone."

"He was destined to be a passerby in our lives, but to have spent some time with him for just three months is already an immense blessing!"

Old Ge spoke in a low voice.

Finally, Old Ge paused for a few seconds, then asked very seriously:

"Old Zhang, do you think meeting you was a pleasant surprise or a regret?"

Zhang Zheng was taken aback by the question, and his mood subsequently dropped a bit.

A few minutes later, Zhang Zheng quickly composed himself and reverted to his usual talkative company commander:

"Why are you asking me? I'm not dating you!"

"Besides, everyone knows Chen Nian will leave in three months. Do you need to emphasize that to me?"

"Why are you emphasizing this to me now? It's a downer!"

"I'm not watching anymore!"

Zhang spat out a retort with his neck stiff, then turned and went back to the sofa.

Looking at the somewhat annoyed Zhang Zheng, Lao Ge smiled slightly. This old comrade-in-arms really can't bear to part with Chen Nian!

...

On the training ground.

"Hey, that's it, just do it this way, keep it up, in three to five days, you can at least get two or three who can't get it up!"

"If you pull out one or two, you can at least get four or five!"

Chen Nian looked at the "ginseng fruits" covering the training ground and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

Then, Chen Nian took out his phone and took a picture of the scene from a distance.

"Master, why are you filming this?"

Chen Nian glanced sideways at Xie Fei, not even looking up, his mind filled with admiration for his masterpiece:

"Keep this as a souvenir. I'll develop the photo and hang it in Old Zhang's office later!"

"Wow, Master, you're so mean!"

"Heh, they're new recruits, let's add some color to their lives!"

At this point, the conversation seemed to come to an end, and the two fell silent without saying a word.

After a long while, Chen Nian spoke up:

"Xie Fei, is there something you want to tell me?"

Xie Fei took the initiative to chat all day, and seemed to deliberately try to get closer to Chen Nian.

But aside from training-related matters and their banter, Xie Fei didn't bring up anything else.

"Master, oh, it's me? I'm fine!"

Xie Fei forced a laugh, but the constant rubbing of his right index finger and thumb betrayed his true feelings.

"Are you really alright?"

"If there's really nothing else, I'll go sit at Old Zhang's and have some tea!"

After saying that, Chen Nian actually turned and left.

Xie Fei panicked when Chen Nian left.

He had finally mustered the courage to bring it up with Chen Nian today, but if it ended without a trace, he feared it would be even harder to bring it up in the future.

"Master!"

Xie Fei called out.

"Hehe, something's still on my mind!"

Chen Nian turned around with a chuckle, "We're all grown men, why are you acting like a young woman or a married woman? Just say what you want to say, and get things done!"

"As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will definitely not refuse to help you!"

After spending more than half a month together, Chen Nian developed feelings for this little follower who had always been by his side and served him diligently.

If Xie Fei really needs his help, Chen Nian won't refuse.

"Master, I... I want to join the special forces!"

After Xie Fei guessed Chen Nian's identity following Lao Zhang's hints, he had the idea of ​​joining Lu Te.

Or rather, no soldier doesn't want to be the king of soldiers.

No soldier is willing to be second best.

Previously, Xie Fei had only thought that his company was neither an elite company nor a company with any special title or glorious history; it was just an extremely ordinary infantry company.

The daily training was just going through the motions, following the syllabus without much thought.

Without Chen Nian, Xie Fei might have thought he could endure for another two years, drift along for another two years, and see if he could stay. If he could, he would stay; if not, taking his demobilization pay and returning to his hometown wouldn't be unacceptable.

But then Chen Nian appeared, a top-notch special forces soldier. He had experience in special forces and training methods, which were like a key. If Xie Fei could receive special training from Chen Nian, joining the special forces might be a possibility!

Therefore, he didn't care what people said about him "poetry," nor did he care what others said about him being slapped in the face one minute and then becoming an apprentice the next. Xie Fei couldn't possibly ignore such ridicule, but he never argued with anyone. He just tried his best to show himself in front of Chen Nian.

All for the sake of gaining Chen Nian's approval.

Xie Fei originally wanted to spend more time with Chen Nian before telling him his thoughts, but since the news of the recruit competition came out and Chen Nian became the chief instructor, Xie Fei had seen and remembered some of his methods.

Xie Fei couldn't wait any longer. He didn't want to waste his limited time, or rather, every single second Chen Nian had spent in the recruit training camp over the past three months.

Chen Nian frowned slightly as he observed Xie Fei, trying to discern whether his excitement was merely a passing fancy or a genuine expression of emotion.

Why do you want to join the special forces?

Xie Fei scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed:

"Special forces are awesome, Master! We've figured out a bit about your identity. I want to join the special forces too, and be like you!"

Chen Nian raised an eyebrow:

"Is that all?"

The question left Xie Fei speechless.

After a long while, Xie Fei slowly spoke:

"I don't want to drift along anymore, I want to prove myself!"

Chen Nian nodded, but his tone was indifferent:

"Special operations, do you know how many people participate each year? But how many of them actually stay?"

Do you think you can endure torture?

"Whether physical or psychological!"

Xie Fei hesitated for a few seconds before nodding emphatically:

"I can!"

Chen Nian grinned:

"Hehe, alright, since you want to, since you have the ambition, then I, as your teacher, cannot hinder your progress!"

"Here's what we'll do: when the new recruits start their firearms theory training this afternoon, you hand them over to Wang Shifeng. I'll tell him to guide them for a while!"

"Come to the training field when you're done, I want to have a chat with you!"

"I need to conduct a basic physical fitness test first to see how you are doing!"
