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

Chapter 129 New Skill - Mental Arithmetic! A Merit?!

Upon hearing Gao Wen's words, Yuan Chuan and Wang Long reacted immediately and rushed forward to take Xu Can to the car without saying a word.

Xu Ge turned to Gao Wen: "Chief of Staff, our deputy squad leader is also injured. Shall we take him to the hospital together?"

"Don't worry, I've already made the arrangements. I'll have Lao Guo go with that pilot!" Gao Wen nodded.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Xu Can broke free and ran back, grabbing Xu Ge's chin and demanding, "Open your mouth!"

Xu Ge instinctively said, "Ah..."

Xu Can looked at it for a while and, seeing that there were indeed no wounds, nodded and turned to leave.

Xu Ge: ...

Following Gao Wen, they arrived at a military vehicle. Everyone from the Ninth Platoon was waiting by the vehicle, while Guo Yuanshuai sat in the passenger seat.

"You're back? Well done!" Guo Yuanshuai gave Xu Ge a thumbs up. "You're truly a soldier from my Ninth Platoon!"

"Squad leader, how are you feeling now?" Xu Ge stepped forward and asked with concern. "The chief of staff said that you should go to the hospital with that pilot. I'll contact Dr. Lin when I get back."

Guo Yuanshuai glared at him: "Why go to the hospital? I'll just rest for a couple of days..."

"You bastard!" Gao Wen cursed directly. "You've been like this since basic training. I'm asking you, are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll tie you up and take you there!"

"I freaking..." Guo Yuanshuai immediately chickened out.

The group of people in the ninth squad were holding back their laughter. The old squad leader, who was always unyielding to both soft and hard approaches, could only be controlled by his own comrades from the recruit training camp.

"Hey Lao Gao, have all the Tianlang people been safely evacuated?" Guo Yuanshuai tossed a cigarette to Gao Wen and asked.

Niu Sanxian immediately stepped forward to help Gao Wen light it.

"It's been withdrawn."

"So, the state of combat readiness can be lifted?"

"Correct!"

"Well then, these soldiers in my platoon are all sick, so let's go to the hospital together!" Guo Yuanshuai pointed to Su Liujun and the other veterans.

Gao Wen exhaled a puff of smoke: "This is your own business. As long as Liu Guoping agrees to approve the leave, that's fine."

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Liu Senlin beside him, and Liu Senlin immediately turned around and shouted, "Company Commander! Deputy Chief of Staff Gao is looking for you!"

Gawain:? ? ?
A moment later, Liu Guoping ran over and snapped to attention with a salute.

"Deputy Chief of Staff, you wanted to see me?"

Gao Wen turned his head to smoke, without saying a word.

Liu Guoping was stunned and quickly looked at Guo Yuanshuai in the car: "Old squad leader, what's going on?"

"I'm going to the hospital, you know. There are a few sick people in our class who haven't been able to see a doctor because of the combat readiness. Now that the mission is over, Deputy Chief of Staff Gao is asking if you'll approve their leave?" Guo Yuanshuai said.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Gao asked me if I should approve the leave... I approved it!"

Liu Guoping realized what was going on. "Going to the doctor is a normal thing, but Sergeant, why don't we let them go tomorrow? We still need to report on the mission tonight."

Gao Wen tossed his cigarette butt aside: "Alright, that's settled then. Lao Guo, you go with the Sky Wolf pilots now."

"No, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

"What the hell are you talking about! Come on, a few men, carry your old deputy squad leader away!"

At Gao Wen's command, Xu Ge and several others immediately stepped forward, lifted Guo Yuanshuai out of the car, and put him in another car.

. . .

. . .

Inside the car, Xu Can was munching on a biscuit when he looked at Xu Ge and asked curiously, "Xu Ge, who is this person?"

Xu Ge: "My old squad leader, he was hit by an enemy rocket while trying to save you. He's on his way to the hospital. Keep an eye on him on the way."

"Hey, old squad leader, sit down quickly!" Xu Can hurriedly offered his seat.

Guo Yuanshuai looked Xu Can up and down: "Where are you injured?"

"I'm not hurt anywhere, but Xu Ge insists I've damaged my brain!" Xu Can pouted and handed the half-eaten compressed biscuit to Guo Yuanshuai. "Old squad leader, are you hungry?"

Guo Yuanshuai's lips twitched, and he turned to look at Xu Ge: "That was quite a crash!"

"Yeah! The helmet's all torn!" Xu Ge continued, "Don't worry, squad leader, I'll definitely get Dr. Lin to fix it..."

"Alright, alright!"

Bang!
Gao Wen rushed over and slammed the car door shut, then patted the driver's side window. "Let's go!"

After the car left, several veterans discussed it amongst themselves.

"Wow, that pilot really is a woman!"

"Not only is she a woman, but she's also a stunning beauty."

"No, our Wolf Brigade has such beautiful female soldiers, why have I never heard of them before?"

"What are you little brats whispering about? Why aren't you going back with your company commander?" Gao Wen asked.

Niu Sanxian seemed to know Gao Wen quite well, and chuckled as he said, "Deputy Chief of Staff Gao, we were talking about that pilot. I'm curious why I've never heard of him before. Even if he's from the Sky Wolf, he shouldn't have heard of him."

"How come I've never heard of her? Didn't you study her exemplary deeds last year?"

"hiss!!!"

The veterans were all startled.

"Is she Xu Can, the one who single-handedly repelled three enemy planes and shot down an enemy reconnaissance drone on the border? We all thought she was a man!"

"Look at how surprised you all are. Can't women be pilots?"

Gao Wen left after he finished speaking.

Niu Sanxian shook his head and sighed, "It's not simple at all!"

Li Dongshui asked, puzzled, "How is it not simple?"

Niu Sanxian said seriously, "When a beautiful woman becomes famous for her professional skills rather than her looks, that's truly remarkable!"

When Xu Ge heard the word "professional skills," he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something. It wasn't until he saw the new prompt on the token that he remembered that Xu Can had carried out the military order when he shouted "lie down."

[Military orders are 100% executed. You can randomly obtain one of the opponent's skills. Do you want to draw it immediately?] Xu ​​Can can actually draw skills!
Xu Ge was surprised by the unexpected bonus during the rescue and immediately gave the order to extract the items.

"Did they steal Xu Can's flying skills?"

[A new skill - Mental Arithmetic - has been randomly selected, with a maximum level of Special Grade. Do you wish to activate the skill slot?]

mental arithmetic?

What kind of skill is this? Is it the mental arithmetic I'm referring to?

"Upper limit: Special Grade? Isn't that something elementary school students learn?"
Try turning it on!

Mental Arithmetic: Beginner (1/5).

In an instant, as a large number of calculation formulas and related memories flooded into his mind, Xu Ge immediately realized that Xu Can's mental arithmetic was not the same as the mental arithmetic of elementary school students that he had thought of.

To be precise, this skill should be more accurately described as rapid calculation without the aid of tools.

This is a skill that can quickly calculate the trajectory and angle of an object based on its speed and kinetic energy. It requires a very strong mathematical talent and sensitivity to various numbers.

No wonder Yuan Chuan and Wang Long called Xu Can "Engineer Xu" before; it turns out she really is a science whiz.

Xu Ge carefully reviewed the relevant memories in his mind and deduced that Xu Can's skill was probably for better planning flight routes.

He had a feeling that Xu Can might not have been bragging when she said she could dodge missiles while flying a plane; at the advanced level, she might actually be able to do it!
Currently, his mental arithmetic skills are only at the beginner level, and he can only perform some very simple and basic calculations.

Xu Ge looked around and immediately made a judgment on the current wind speed. Based on the wind speed, he calculated the speed and deviation distance of several objects falling freely at different heights.

"This is all the basic level can do for now. Why do I feel like Li Dongshui also knows this calculation method?"

Xu Ge suddenly remembered the first time he and Li Dongshui went to buy something from Lao Wang, when Lao Wang accurately threw a pack of instant noodles into the car. Li Dongshui had mentioned a similar theory back then.

However, Xu Can's skill is more systematic and refined, with a higher potential!

It's a pity I'm not a pilot who needs to calculate routes, so I can't use that skill.

Huh? wrong!

Xu Ge, who was at least a high-achieving student, suddenly realized that this skill could be used in other areas.

For example, once the skill level is increased, you can draw range cards without instruments, calculate the trajectory of long-range sniping, and even quickly calculate the firing data of anti-aircraft guns, etc.!
In certain specific situations, a person is equivalent to a combination of a machine and a measuring tool.

That's amazing!

. . .

. . .

After returning to the barracks and handing over their weapons, it was almost nine o'clock at night. Liu Guoping asked everyone to assemble in the conference room.

"Company Commander, I want to go up and call Dr. Lin. The squad leader shouldn't be at the hospital yet," Xu Ge said to Liu Guoping.

"Okay, you go first, and come back to the company headquarters after you're done fighting."

"Yes!"

Xu Ge returned to his dorm and immediately grabbed his phone to call Lin Wan via voice message, as she was usually free at this time.

When Lin Wan learned that Xu Ge's old squad leader had been injured in the battle, she immediately said she would go to the hospital to help.

Xu Ge was naturally very grateful, and then hung up the phone and went to the company headquarters meeting room.

At this moment, everyone in Class 9 had sat down and were explaining the entire operation to the clerk.

Xu Ge, who was the last to arrive, also recounted how he found Xu Can after leaving the canyon.

Liu Guoping looked at Li Dongshui with surprise: "So, you killed two enemies all by yourself? And the last one was under such difficult shooting conditions?"

Li Dongshui quickly said, "The last one was only completed with Xu Ge's help. There was an element of luck involved, and besides, it's not even certain whether that person actually existed..."

"Sigh~ You can't be modest at a time like this!"

Liu Guoping was practically making it clear when he quickly interrupted Li Dongshui and looked at the documents.
"To summarize, Class 9 killed a total of 5 enemies in this rescue operation. Among them, Wang Lin killed one, Kai Youmu killed one, Su Liujun killed one, and Li Dongshui killed two!"

As for Li Dongshui's claim that Xu Ge helped locate the enemy, since Xu Ge himself did not emphasize it, Liu Guoping, who knew Xu Ge's shooting skills, simply ignored it.

After everyone had finished reporting and the clerk had left, Liu Guoping grinned, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and threw it on the table: "Smoke as many as you like! Hahaha!"

The veterans didn't stand on ceremony and each lit up a cigarette.

"Excellent! Truly excellent! No wonder you are the strongest squad in our Sixth Company in terms of military discipline!"

Liu Guoping lit one for himself, saying, "It's hard to say what would happen if this happened to another class. You guys are going to make a difference, hahaha!"

Everyone was excited: "Company Commander, is it true?"

"When I came back, I talked to Deputy Chief of Staff Gao. He said that it was impossible for everyone to receive an individual third-class merit, but it was still possible to strive for a collective second-class merit!"

Everyone beamed with joy: "With the collective second-class merit, isn't our deputy squad leader even more likely to be promoted to first-class sergeant next year?"

Liu Guoping laughed too: "Absolutely!"

As a former soldier under Guo Yuanshuai's command, the meeting room was now filled with his own men. Liu Guoping spoke frankly: "Those who killed the enemy should each receive a third-class merit. The others shouldn't have any ideas!"

"No, no!"

Niu Sanxian was the first to express his opinion, and Liu Senlin and Xu Ge immediately followed suit, saying they had no idea whatsoever.

"Dongshui, your performance in this rescue operation was the most outstanding. Get ready, we'll send you to the regiment for sniper training later!"

Liu Guoping pointed at Wang Lin and said to Li Dongshui, "Try to get us another 201 high-precision sniper rifle!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dongshui also became excited: "Yes! I will definitely train hard!"

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back and rest early." Liu Guoping waved his hand.

Su Liujun spoke up: "Company Commander, what about asking for leave tomorrow to see a doctor?"

"Who is there?"

“The four of us and Xu Ge,” Niu Sanxian said immediately.

Liu Guoping was taken aback and looked at Xu Ge: "What illness are you going to see about?"

"I'm not sick?" Xu Ge was also confused, not knowing why Niu Sanxian said that.

“Xu Ge isn’t sick, but Dr. Lin said that if Xu Ge doesn’t go, she won’t make arrangements. The old squad leader might even get into trouble there!” Niu Sanxian said.

Liu Guoping immediately took it seriously: "Xu Ge must go!"
