Shipborne Special Forces.

Bi Gangtian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wang Aiguo with disdain and said, "So you really are one of my soldiers. Brother, may I ask where the immortal realm is?"

"S City," Wang Aiguo replied.

"Oh, is there no one else in S City? How did you manage to get in like this?"

Upon hearing Bi Gangtian's words, Wang Aiguo quickly spoke up in defense: "Captain, it's not nice of you to say that. After all, I only weighed 170 pounds during my physical exam."

As soon as Wang Aiguo finished speaking, the scene erupted in uproar, everyone staring at him in horror. Sanpang, standing behind Wang Aiguo, whispered, "Da Pang, pick a time when there aren't many people around to brag about. There are so many of us here."

Wang Aiguo felt like strangling Kim Jong-un right now, thinking, "What do you mean, 'you're bragging'? We came in the same car. Even though we weren't together for the medical exam, you should at least believe me a little!"

Bi Gangtian then looked as if he had just realized something and said, "You mean height, right?"

"It's weight," Wang Aiguo said speechlessly.

"..." The scene was silent.

After a long pause, Bi Gangtian spoke again: "So, are you 'valuable' now?"

Wang Aiguo smiled shyly and said, "It's not expensive, only 220."

"Okay, may I ask what brand of pig feed you use? I'll buy some for my pigs later," Bi Gangtian said earnestly.

Wang Aiguo: "..."

Wang Aiguo spent his second day in recruit camp enduring one setback after another. Of course, Bi Gangtian was the one who suffered the most.

That evening, Bi Gangtian summoned Jia Qu and the other two to his office, pointed at Wang Aiguo's photo, and shouted angrily: "This is the soldier you found for me? This guy could hold out for ten seconds by himself."

Bi Gangtian was referring to the average speed over the 3,000 meters. In the recruit camp, the 3,000-meter test considers the total score. Given Wang Aiguo's current condition, dwarfing the team's average time by ten seconds in the 3,000 meters seems like no problem at all.

Of course, it's not just Bi Gangtian who's having a headache right now; Wang Aiguo himself is also having a huge headache.

Because he still hasn't forgotten that contract; his grandfather said that he should receive at least one reward for each unit he joins.

The recruit camp should be considered a unit, so how can he earn an outstanding soldier award or commendation here? After all, everyone treats him like a ghost these days.

Lost in thought, Wang Aiguo fell asleep.

.......

Early on the third day, just as Wang Aiguo and the others finished cleaning, a large number of buses drove into the camp. Then, just like yesterday, a large group of people got off the buses carrying large and small bags.

Upon seeing the new recruits arrive, Bi Gangtian excitedly ran out of the building. Now that Wang Aiguo had been assigned there, there was nothing he could do but hope to bring in a few more physically fit young men to offset Wang Aiguo's drag on the team.

As soon as Grandpa Bi approached the crowd, another middle-aged man in a white military uniform appeared next to him.

As soon as the man saw Grandpa Bi, he sneered and said, "Oh, Grandpa Bi, you're here to recruit people too?"

"Since you're here, why can't I be here?" Grandpa Bi said in a sarcastic tone.

Seeing the two men looking at each other with hostility, Wang Aiguo asked Jia Qu, "Jia Qu, what's going on?"

"What else is going on? We just don't get along!" Jia Qu replied casually.

After some explanation, Wang Aiguo finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the man next to Grandpa Bi was the captain of Team 11, and this captain and Grandpa Bi had been in the same class since they entered military academy. Apparently, the two hadn't gotten along back then, constantly competing in physical fitness, professional skills, and military bearing.

Now that they're both captains, there's no point in comparing themselves anymore. Their new source of fun is seeing who can lead the troops better.

There's an ironclad rule in Team 12 of Chenyang New Recruit Camp: you can lose to any other team, but you absolutely cannot lose to Team 11.

.......

In the end, Bi Gangtian and the captain of Team 11 parted on bad terms. On the way back, Bi Gangtian spotted Wang Aiguo at a glance, and walked up to Wang Aiguo with a cold face, saying, "Wang Aiguo, if you dare to hold us back in the 3000 meters, I'll kill you."

"Captain, you can't force things," Wang Aiguo said with some difficulty.

Bi Gangtian didn't speak, but just stared at the captain of Team 11 in the distance. Seemingly sensing Bi Gangtian's gaze, the captain of Team 11 turned around and looked at Bi Gangtian with a provocative expression.

Immediately, Bi Gangtian snorted coldly at Wang Aiguo and said sarcastically, "It's alright, I'll keep an eye on you myself!" After saying that, Gangtian turned around and went back into the building.

As Wang Aiguo watched Bi Gangtian's departing figure, he suddenly wondered if he had signed the contract too hastily. This military unit seemed a little different from what he had imagined!

....

The number of people has not yet reached its peak, as everyone comes from different parts of the country and arrives at different times.

Furthermore, the military uniforms haven't been issued yet; everyone is still wearing their civilian clothes. I heard that the uniforms will only be issued once everyone has arrived to avoid any discrepancies in quantity.

Because not everyone has arrived, training hasn't officially started yet. Of course, everyone is happy with that.

However, the occasional appearance of Bi Gangtian's face made Wang Aiguo feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. He was just a little chubby, did he have to stare at him like that?

Fortunately, Bi Gangtian didn't do anything to Wang Aiguo, he just stared at him occasionally, as if urging him to lose weight.

On the third night, the instructor decided to show everyone a movie, since it wasn't good for everyone to just stay in the dorm and brag every night.

When the movie started, Wang Aiguo looked at the projection screen and suddenly felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

This yellowish-white color couldn't be...

Wang Aiguo had a bad feeling. A few seconds later, he saw a hole the size of a buttock on the projection screen that the instructor had raised.

"Who the hell is this? Who's so shameless as to cut a hole in the projection screen!" the instructor roared angrily.

Amidst the instructor's overwhelming rage, Wang Aiguo felt a chill run down his spine. He clutched his backside tightly, thinking, "Please don't find me! Please don't find me! Please, please don't!"

The movie Wang Aiguo watched that night was the most amazing movie he had ever seen in his life, because the male lead was headless for 80% of the film. Unfortunately, Wang Aiguo's cuts were placed right in the center, so he effectively "cut" the male lead's head off.

.......

A week after arriving at Chenyang Recruit Camp, almost all the new recruits had arrived. The miscellaneous tasks around the camp had also been mostly completed. Although the amount of exercise hadn't been particularly strenuous, Wang Aiguo felt he had lost a significant amount of weight during this period.

The biggest reason for this is that Bi Gangtian is from the north and he really likes to eat steamed buns, so much so that everyone has to eat steamed buns with him.
