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

Chapter 123 I'm so awesome now that I can see in the night!

"Hahaha!" Xu Ge laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

The little dog was startled and ran back with a yelp.

Li Dongshui frowned: "What's wrong with you now?"

"Let's go back." Xu Ge stood up, lighting up his skill slots as he walked, and adding the remaining two skill points to the new skill.

Sniffing: Beginner (3/5).

boom!
Xu Ge felt a sudden, loud bang in his head, and the whole world instantly changed!

Chirp chirp chirp! The chirping of an unknown bird in the distance.

Shh! The sound of snowflakes rolling on the sand and stones.

Whoosh! The sound of the wind.

Buzzing! The sound of air conditioning coming from the barracks not far away.

Suddenly, I heard many sounds that I had never heard or paid attention to before, and I could even faintly hear the sound of snowflakes falling!
Xu Ge looked up, and a snowflake with a three-dimensional appearance fell right in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that not only his hearing, but his vision also seemed to have changed!
I sniffed, and hundreds of familiar and unfamiliar smells instantly flooded my nasal cavity, stimulating the analytical nerves in my brain.

The sheer volume of information left Xu Ge dizzy and disoriented, making it difficult for him to even walk steadily.

Li Dongshui quickly helped him up: "What's wrong?"

Xu Ge picked at his ear and turned his head: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Li Dongshui: ? ? ?

"I wasn't speaking very loudly!"

"Don't move yet, let me catch my breath!"

Xu Ge leaned against Li Dongshui, closed his eyes, and began to slowly adapt to this new world.

He could smell the odor from the military dog ​​platoon's kitchen more than a hundred meters away and hear the sound of snowflakes falling on his head.

What is now certain is that the sense of smell and hearing are indeed several times stronger than before, the vision is not much different, but the range of field of view has become wider.

After a long while, Xu Ge slowly opened his eyes and returned to the familiar world.

If one's sense of smell and hearing are already this abnormal at the beginner level, what would they be like at the master level?!
"What happened to you just now?" Li Dongshui asked curiously when Xu Ge returned to normal.

Xu Ge shook his head: "It's nothing. I was just a little dizzy, but I'm fine now. Let's go quickly."

"Why are you so anxious?"

“Aren’t you hungry? There are tricycles selling things up ahead!” Xu Ge said casually.

"How did you know I was hungry?" Li Dongshui looked ahead; the road was deserted. "Where can I buy something?"

Xu Ge didn't say anything, but quickened his pace. He could hear the kid's stomach growling even through his coat.

After turning a corner, a tricycle parked on the side of the road appeared, and the vendor was leaning against the vehicle eating spicy strips.

Li Dongshui was shocked: "Holy crap, how did you know there were people selling things here?"

Xu Ge smiled; he could smell the spicy snack clearly from a hundred meters away.

Li Dongshui was shopping, while Xu Ge silently sensed his surroundings.

Now that he's gradually adapted, he has a basic understanding of what a sniffing device is: it can detect scents within a 200-meter radius and hear sounds at normal decibel levels within a 50-meter radius.

These two points alone demonstrate that his perception surpasses that of everyone he knows.

No, Thor's vision is also exceptionally sharp.

Thinking of this, Xu Ge looked around and found that the field of vision had indeed widened considerably.

If the combined field of vision of a normal human being is 180 degrees, then his is now at least 200 degrees or more, meaning that Xu Ge can now see a much wider range in his peripheral vision.

In addition, Xu Ge also discovered that he had become very sensitive to the dynamic capture of objects in his field of vision. Even a slight change in position would cause his eyes to automatically follow and lock onto it.

At this point, Xu Ge finally understood that this new sniffing skill could not only enhance his sense of smell, but also his hearing and vision. No wonder the skill name included the word "sniff".

In other words, Xu Ge now possesses a weakened version of Xiao Si Quan's sensory abilities!

This ability has very limited effect on Xiao Siquan, but when it's applied to a human with high intelligence who can analyze, identify, and integrate information, it becomes quite extraordinary!
. . .

. . .

Until the lights were about to go out at night, Xu Ge was learning how to ignore the smells and sounds from the outside world that he didn't need to pay attention to.

It was only at this point that he realized that being too perceptive could sometimes be a bad thing.

In fact, the human world is filled with all kinds of smells and sounds every moment, but everyone has learned to automatically filter out those factors that are not interesting in their daily lives.

Xu Ge is now like an infant who needs to relearn this skill, otherwise his life will be severely disrupted, and he is worried that he might develop neurasthenia.

There's no way around it, my senses are just too sharp!

For example, just now, he was sitting on the stool in a daze when the beeping of the alarm in the downstairs operations duty room startled him.

He couldn't hear this sound at all before.

And then there are the smells around him that he finds unbearable!

The smell of stinky socks, the smell of hydrogen sulfide, skatole, and volatile fatty acids from human excrement, the smell of disinfectant and dead insects on veterans' sheets and blankets...

All of this left Xu Ge with nowhere to escape, pushing him to the brink of madness!
He knew he had to adapt to this situation as soon as possible, so while everyone else was having fun on weekends, he stayed in his dormitory alone, silently enduring all kinds of smells and sounds, trying his best to raise his sensory threshold.

"Xu Ge!"

Guo Yuanshuai had already gotten into bed when he suddenly remembered something and called Xu Ge over since Xu Ge hadn't gotten into bed yet.

"What's wrong, squad leader?" Xu Ge came to Guo Yuanshuai's bedside.

Guo Yuanshuai patted his bed: "Sit here, I have something to ask you." Xu Ge sat down next to Guo Yuanshuai.

"Did that idiot say anything else when he delivered the gift to you last time?" Guo Yuanshuai asked in a low voice.

Xu Ge didn't react at first: "Which idiot... Oh, Wolf Head! He didn't say anything, just asked how you've been feeling lately."

"Didn't he say he was going out on a mission? Did he say how long he'd be gone?"

"I think it will be one or two months."

Guo Yuanshuai frowned and pondered for a while: "Counting the days, they've been gone for more than half a month. Hopefully, our combat readiness this time will be just another false alarm like before!"

"Squad leader, what do you mean by that? Is our battalion's full combat readiness related to Hidden Wolves and his gang?" Xu Ge also lowered his voice.

Guo Yuanshuai: "According to the message conveyed by the battalion commander, that's probably the case."

Xu Ge then recalled what Wolf Head had told him last time and asked in confusion, "Squad leader, Wolf Head said last time that our border rapid reaction force should never have any contact with the Hidden Wolves. What does that mean?"

"Didn't you hear what the battalion commander said? Our mission is to provide support on the border."

Guo Yuanshuai explained, "If we are needed to be dispatched, it means that the troops that went out to carry out the mission have been caught by the enemy and need to be rescued. They definitely hope to never have to deal with us again!"

Xu Ge suddenly realized: "If that's the case, then if we really get out this time, it means that Hidden Wolf and the others are in trouble..."

"Shut up! Quick, spit it out!" Guo Yuanshuai glared at Xu Ge. "Don't just spout nonsense!"

"Bah bah bah!"

Because the two were standing too close, Xu Ge accidentally spat in Guo Yuanshuai's face.

"I'm so sorry, Vice Squad Leader, I didn't mean to..."

"roll!"

Xu Ge slunk back to his bed and, as usual, took out his phone to chat with Lin Wan before going to sleep.

After exchanging a few casual words, Xu Ge asked Lin Wan if there was any way to quickly ignore the surrounding environmental distractions.

Lin Wan asked Xu Ge to explain in more detail, so Xu Ge gave a vague account of the situation, which was nothing more than suddenly becoming sensitive to sounds and smells.

Self-suggestion and distraction are the methods Lin Wan suggests.

She said that before going to sleep, you can take ten deep breaths to completely calm your mind and focus on self-awareness, or find something else to focus most of your attention on.

Xu Ge: I'm about to go to sleep, why would I want to find something to distract myself?

Lin Wan: Talk to me, really attentively. Don't worry, I'll respond accordingly! When you feel sleepy, just go to sleep and don't worry about me.

Xu Ge: Then I'll give it a try. Dr. Lin, where is your hometown?

Lin Wan: Northern Xinjiang, what about you?

Xu Ge: I'm from Zhongyuan. How many people are in your family? Besides your older sister, do you have any other siblings?

Lin Wan sent a sweating emoji: I told you to focus on chatting, not to check my household registration!
Xu Ge: Oh, so how should we talk about it?
Lin Wan: How about this, I'll ask questions and you answer, and I'll take the lead?
Xu Ge: Okay.

Lin Wan: Do you have a girlfriend? Have you ever been in a relationship?
Xu Ge: No, we haven't talked about it.

Lin Wan: Have you ever fantasized about the opposite sex? When did it start? How old were you when you first had a wet dream?

Xu Ge: Dr. Lin, I'm sleepy.

No, isn't this topic that Dr. Lin brought up way too late?!

Xu Ge turned off his phone, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

To be fair, Lin Wan's interruption did divert his attention, and the external distractions were much less.

Xu Ge began to try to regain the feeling from before, so he silently answered Lin Wan's question in his mind.

Which boy hasn't had fantasies about the opposite sex? When was my first time? I think it was 14 or 15...

Unbeknownst to him, Xu Ge drifted off to sleep amidst his random thoughts.

Wow!
In the middle of the night, Xu Ge suddenly opened his eyes, startled awake by the sound of water draining from the pipes outside the building.

Damn! Why are people still going to the toilet at this hour? Don't they know they can hold it until dawn?

This is the downside of having keen hearing; such sounds would never have bothered me before.

Xu Ge sighed, feeling a bit dry in his mouth. He got up and naturally walked to his desk, picked up his water bottle, opened it, and gulped down two mouthfuls.

Just as he put down his water glass and was about to walk back, he suddenly froze on the spot.

What the hell!

How can I see it so clearly?!
Xu Ge stretched out his hands, and the lines on his palms were clearly visible.

No, how come my eyesight is even better than during the day?!
Sensing something amiss, Xu Ge quickly scanned his surroundings and discovered that everything around him had a clear outline, even who was sleeping with their head covered in the dormitory.

Keep in mind, it's 2 a.m., and the entire dormitory is pitch black!
In an instant, Xu Ge realized the reason: it was due to the sniffing skill.

Because dogs can see everything clearly in the dark!
Having figured this out, Xu Ge immediately went to the window and looked at the distant snow-capped mountains.

What appeared before my eyes were also clear outlines, and even every single stone on that vast expanse of Gobi Desert was clearly visible.

He was quite certain that even in the moonlight, he could only see a blurry shadow.

Wow!

Night vision? That's pretty cool!

A thought suddenly popped into Xu Ge's mind: With my super sense of smell and hearing, wouldn't I be incredibly awesome at night?

Especially on the battlefield, where neither side has night vision, it's a complete game-changer for those enemies who think they're hidden in the dark!
