When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 10 Are you a masochist?!

Li Dongshui took out a can of Want Want milk from her bag, took a sip, and thought for a moment:
“When I came here, my uncle specially had a meal with Platoon Leader Li Zhi and asked him to take care of me. If he comes looking for me, I will definitely go.”

"How about that?"

Xu Ge got excited, "You're already in our squad! Do you know why I brought you to squad one? Because squad one is the face of the recruit camp, and those with poor appearances can't even get in!"

Li Dongshui glanced at Xu Ge sideways: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"What I want to say is, since you're here, just stay put. If anyone asks you later if you'd like to go to another class, just say no and stay in Class 1!"

Why should I listen to you?

"I am the second mate, this is my order!" Xu Ge said sternly.

"Tch!" Li Dongshui rolled her eyes. "Who knows if you're really the second vice president? Even if you are, you're still the second vice president of Class One. If I went to another class, would you still be able to control me?"

Xu Ge started cursing inwardly; this pretty boy had quite a rebellious streak.

In order to become the second mate, he had already boasted to the platoon leader and squad leader. If he failed to do so, he would lose face.

"Don't say that, Ah Shui. Look how outstanding you are. You have excellent marksmanship, perfect military posture, and you're good-looking too. I really want to be your classmate. It would be so prestigious to go out like that!"

In order to complete the tasks assigned by the platoon leader and squad leader, Xu Ge started to use a softer approach.

"Is that really what you think?" Li Dongshui's expression became somewhat unnatural after being praised.

Xu Ge nodded firmly: "Of course!"

"I can stay if you want me to, but you've been messing with me for so long. Unless I give you a few commands too."

"Do you know how to give commands?"

"You think you're the only one who can do that? Everyone had military training when they were in school."

"Okay, no problem, let's go!"

After Xu Ge finished speaking, he stood up in the middle of the dormitory and said with a smile, "Since I am your second mate, I must pass the military posture test."

Li Dongshui didn't expect that just joking would lead Xu Ge to actually adopt a stance of letting himself be manipulated.

At this moment, the other recruits were also drawn to the conversation between the two and all gathered around.

"Take a break, stand at attention!"

Snapped!
Xu Ge immediately raised his head and stood up straight, and the prompt on the token appeared immediately.

[100% execution of current military orders, Queue proficiency +4]

"How's my military posture?" Xu Ge asked confidently as he adjusted his stance based on his understanding.

"To be fair, she's definitely standing better than me!"

"Hmm, you can tell they've practiced before."

"Great job, Second Officer!"

The new recruits standing nearby nodded in agreement.

Li Dongshui's eyes darted around, and he said, "It looks promising. Shall we do it two more times?"

"Sure!" Xu Ge said, indicating that he didn't mind.

"Take a break, stand at attention!"

[100% execution of current military orders, Queue proficiency +3]

"To the left!"

Li Dongshui suddenly changed the command, but Xu Ge, who already had a lot of knowledge about formations, reacted quickly and spun around.

[100% execution of current military orders, Queue proficiency +1]

"Wow, Ah Shui, you even know how to do a rotation while stationary..."

"turn right!"

Li Dongshui interrupted Xu Ge and continued to shout out commands rapidly.

Snapped!
Xu Ge completed his rotation, and another message appeared on the token.

"turn back!"

Li Dongshui's speech became faster and faster.

"turn back!"

"turn back!"

"turn back!"

"Spin!" After spinning around twice, Xu Ge knew that Li Dongshui was deliberately messing with him, but the lines of prompts that increased his proficiency kept him going, and he continued to spin around like a top.

Soon, the first skill slot on the front of the token flashed.

"Queue: LV1 (51/99)"

. . .

. . .

"About turn!" Li Dongshui was still shouting the command.

His goal was clear: to avenge Xu Ge's deliberate targeting of him.

What puzzled him was that the guy actually kept following his commands.

A low chuckle rippled through the crowd of new recruits watching, and Xu Ge began to sway unsteadily, looking quite comical.

Li Dong's mouth was a little dry, so he licked his lips and stopped.

Snapped!
Xu Ge felt the scene before him spinning. He grabbed the handle on the bed next to him, shook his head, and it took him a while to find Li Dongshui's location.

"Alright, we're even now!" Li Dongshui felt a little guilty looking at Xu Ge and handed him the sparkling water.

Xu Ge shook his head, somewhat unsatisfied: "Don't stop! Keep shouting, I can still spin!"

"Are you sick? Are you a masochist? You'll get altitude sickness if you keep going like this!" Li Dongshui sat back down on the stool, took a big gulp of milk, and said irritably.

"Who's experiencing altitude sickness?"

Just as Xu Ge was about to speak, three people entered through the door: Luo Shan, Du Hu, and a tall, thin captain.

"Stand up! Greetings, Company Commander!"

Du Hu shouted, and the new recruits immediately stood up.

"Xu Ge, are you suffering from altitude sickness?" Luo Shan asked immediately when he saw Xu Ge leaning against the armrest and noticing that Xu Ge's face was a little pale.

Xu Ge feigned nonchalance: "No, I'm fine, Platoon Leader!"

"It's good that you're alright. You might not be used to it yet since you've just arrived. Don't do anything too strenuous for the first couple of days, just rest."

After giving Luo Shan a few words of advice, Company Commander Liu Guoping came to the front of the new recruits and looked them over carefully. "Who's Li Dongshui?"

"I'm!"

"Hmm, the young man has a very good appearance!"

Liu Guoping asked Li Dongshui a few questions with a smile, all about target practice before enlisting in the army. The more questions he asked, the wider his smile became.

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect to find someone with years of experience handling guns. We should focus on developing them!"

Li Dongshui blushed slightly at the praise and stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

"So, Li Dongshui, are you willing to stay in Class One?"

As soon as Liu Guoping said this, Du Hu and Luo Shan immediately tensed up and both looked at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge knew what they meant, but he wasn't sure himself, so he pretended not to see it.

Li Dongshui didn't hesitate much and said directly, "I'm willing. I think Class One is great!"

"If another platoon leader asked you to go there, would you be willing?"

"I'm happy to stay in Class 1, I'm not going anywhere else!"

Upon hearing Li Dongshui's words, Du Hu and Luo Shan were visibly excited, and at the same time, they gave Xu Ge a thumbs up.

Liu Guoping was also very pleased and laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! What a good soldier!"

"Platoon leader! Squad leader!"

"To!"

"These are our company's treasures, you two need to nurture them carefully!"

"Yes!"

Du Hu and Luo Shan responded loudly in unison.

"Okay, I'll go find the instructor now!" Liu Guoping patted Li Dongshui on the shoulder affectionately and went out with a smile.

The other recruits looked at Li Dongshui with envy, as he was noticed by the company commander on his very first day.

Luo Shan and Du Hu came over and patted Xu Ge on the shoulder with happy expressions. Although they didn't say anything, their appreciation was evident.

The new recruits watching from the sidelines were filled with envy. The second mate was indeed highly regarded by the squad leader and platoon leader!
