Shipborne Special Forces.

The button popped off, and Wang Aiguo finally breathed a sigh of relief; now he could breathe properly. But breathing properly wasn't important anymore; what mattered was... what should be done with the captain?

The scene fell silent; everyone was stunned.

Grandpa Bi looked utterly terrified, while Shen Long could only put his hand to his forehead.

"Teacher, I might not be able to fulfill your request." Shen Long was internally cursing. He finally understood Wang Weihua's words. He wasn't there to protect Wang Aiguo; he was there to protect someone else!

"You, you're going to double your running starting tomorrow, damn it, if you don't lose weight, I'll personally beat the shit out of you!" The captain covered one eye and roared desperately.

After saying that, the captain turned and ran off. The rest of the men looked at Wang Aiguo with pity.

"I think you might be finished." The monk appeared at this very inopportune moment and made a sarcastic remark.

Wang Aiguo: "..."

.......

The next day, Wang Aiguo started increasing his running volume. Grandpa Bi had said he would increase it to 20 kilometers a day.

Now, Bi Fujian is keeping his word. Wang Aiguo no longer needs to run at noon; he runs 10 kilometers every morning and evening, and he wears a raincoat and overcoat.

While Wang Aiguo was suffering, You Jiang and his men were overjoyed. They no longer had to drag Wang Aiguo along, and they were completely liberated.

However, it must be mentioned that Bi Fujian's idea was absolutely correct; the members of Wang Aiguo's 3000-meter rally team are now running incredibly fast. It's as if they've been unloaded and have acquired superhuman agility.

Upon learning of everyone's thoughts, Wang Aiguo nearly jumped off a building.

What happened to the camaraderie we were promised? Was he just a burden?

.......

Soon, formal classes will begin.

Before class, the student council suddenly asked everyone to make a student ID. This was actually to assign everyone to classes so that no one would be unsure where their classroom was.

Of course, the deeper reason is that the exam will be conducted on a one-person-one-certificate basis to prevent cases of someone taking the exam for another person.

Since they needed to take photos of student IDs, after some consideration, Grandpa Bi decided to invite a hairdresser to give everyone a haircut.

As soon as the barber arrived, everyone rushed to the TV room to line up. Wang Aiguo, on the other hand, was resting on a small stool. He had just finished running ten kilometers and didn't want to move at all.

"Three hundred, aren't you going to line up? You'll miss your meal if you're late," the monk reminded him from behind.

Wang Aiguo waved his hand and said casually, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll shave first. Anyway, the photoshoot isn't until this afternoon, so there's no rush."

"Then I'll go first." After saying that, the monk went out.

"Okay," Wang Aiguo said without turning his head, shaving his beard.

.......

Just as the new recruits at Chenyang Recruit Camp were tidying up their appearance and trying to take a cool photo.

The captain, however, received an official document.

This document is somewhat unique because official documents with red headers are usually used to announce important matters. However, this document contains a request.

"Each battalion should check its soldiers and find any programmers, especially those skilled in cracking programs, and report them to higher authorities."

The captain was stunned for a long time, completely not understanding what this meant.

"Does this thing really need an official document?" the battalion commander asked the political commissar beside him.

The battalion commander and political commissar looked at the document, but also looked completely bewildered.

"This was issued by the General Staff Headquarters, and it's of a particularly high level. Could it be that they're planning to recruit a group of programmers?"

"Wait, shouldn't this be recruited from the Academy of Sciences? Why is it suddenly open to all troops, not even sparing our recruit camp?" The battalion commander tilted his head, completely baffled.

The brigade's political commissar shrugged and said, "There's nothing we can do. Anyway, we've received the notice from above, so we'll just pass it on."

"All right."

.......

After getting his hair cut and having his photos taken in the afternoon, Grandpa Bi gathered everyone together.

"The brigade headquarters said that the higher-ups are thinking of recruiting a group of programmers. Do you have anyone here who knows programming?"

Grandpa Bi was completely baffled by the document in front of him. Shen Long, meanwhile, frowned slightly as he looked at it.

Because he had already seen it, and the document was issued by the General Staff Department, which is a very high-level document.

"Could it be a teacher?" Shen Long thought to himself.

The new recruits looked at each other, confused. Programming wasn't something they were familiar with. The recruitment of college student soldiers required specific majors; for example, most of them had studied mechanical engineering, CNC machining, or similar fields.

However, programming skills alone are not included in this recruitment scope.

"I'm studying CNC machining, can I do some basic programming?" a young man from the first team asked, raising his hand.

Grandpa Bi glanced at the document, then shook his head and said, "Simple programming won't do. The higher-ups need someone who can at least independently program a program, and preferably be skilled at cracking programs. Do any of you know how?"

The scene was completely silent.

At that moment, Huang Gang suddenly looked at Wang Aiguo.

"Sanbai, I remember you've been reading programming books all the time. Do you know how to program?"

Wang Aiguo glanced at Huang Gang, then gave him an expression as if he were an idiot.

"If I knew how to program, would I need to read books?"

Huang Gang: "...What you said makes so much sense, I can't even refute it."

The matter eventually came to nothing, but since the document was intended for the entire army and wasn't mandatory, no one paid much attention to it.

Other units did find some people with programming skills, but these people were clearly no match for the calculation problems issued by the General Staff. In the end, the number of programmers who could be used could be counted on one hand.

The General Staff was also helpless about this, but such things cannot be forced. A good hacker is a rare find.

However, this was just a very minor incident and had almost no impact on Wang Aiguo's life.

The student IDs were issued quickly, and everyone was excited to receive their new IDs, showing off their photos as if they were big stars.

Only Wang Aiguo's face darkened the moment he saw his student ID.

"This isn't a student ID, is it? This is a wanted poster!" Without saying a word, Wang Aiguo grabbed the person who was delivering the photo and placed his own photo in front of the other person.

The photographer was pulled back by Wang Aiguo, but his expression clearly showed some helplessness.

"Young man, I have no other choice."

"What do you mean there's no way? Didn't you say you could Photoshop it? So after all that Photoshopping, you just turned me into a wanted criminal?" Wang Aiguo said, looking at his student ID card with a bewildered expression.
