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

Chapter 176 A Major Hurdle in My Military Career!
In the open space in the middle of the Queshan training ground, Regiment Commander Fu Qiang walked forward with a list in his hand.

"Based on the statistics, the following 100 soldiers have been awarded the title of Warrior this year. Those whose names are called, please come up one by one to receive your awards!"

"Number 1 Liu Ya, Number 4 Zhang Haiyang, Number 8 Xie Teng, Number 23 Chen Wei..."

The list was read out in ten-person increments. The soldiers whose names were called immediately stepped forward and went up on stage, where a group of officers presented awards to each of them.

"Number 37 Xu Ge, Number 38 Kai Youmu, Number 42 Cai Kun..."

Hearing his name called, Xu Ge's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down.

From this day forward, I am also a person with the title of warrior!

When Xu Ge followed Kaiyoumu out of the queue, he found that everyone around him was looking at him.

Throughout the competition, the name of recruit Xu Ge had almost spread throughout the training field.

The two reporters from the military channel, carrying cameras, stood to the side. When they saw Xu Ge pass by, Zhuang Xiaotie smiled and shook his hand, saying, "Congratulations, Comrade Xu Ge!"

"Thank you!"

Ten people lined up in front, while several propaganda officers with cameras and mobile phones took pictures around them.

Zhang Fengxue stood in front of Xu Ge, holding a medal: "Well done, Xu Ge! You really made Xiao Shuai proud, hahaha!"

"Thank you, Brigade Commander!"

Xu Ge was quite surprised, not expecting that the brigade commander would personally present him with the award. He quickly saluted and bowed.

A medal was hung around his neck.

Xu Ge glanced at it out of the corner of his eye. The medal was made of metal, with the roaring Wolf Head Regiment on the back and the back of a soldier holding a gun on the front. Below it were the words "Wolf Brigade First Regiment XXth Warrior".

After the awards ceremony, Zhang Fengxue didn't rush to leave. She looked at Xu Ge and asked, "Do you know that you were the only new recruit in the entire brigade to participate in the Warrior Competition this year, and you even won the title of Warrior?"

"Brigade Commander, I just found out too," Xu Ge said truthfully.

"And you even broke your regiment's record in rapid-fire shooting! What a young hero!" Zhang Fengxue smiled kindly.

Xu Ge was somewhat puzzled, wondering what the brigade commander meant by telling him all this.

"Since you've already participated in the Warriors Tournament, have you thought about also participating in the Mighty Warriors Competition the day after tomorrow?"

Zhang Fengxue looked at Xu Ge, "Anyway, you already have the qualification to participate."

Xu Ge: !!!
Warriors competition?

I?
He felt that the brigade commander was joking with him.

The selection pool for Warriors is the entire regiment, with 100 slots available each year, while the selection pool for Mighty Warriors is 50 people selected from the entire brigade, including the Sirius Commando.

These two are not even in the same league.

Among the people around him, only Su Liujun had received the title of "Hero" three years ago, which was enough to allow him to walk sideways in the Sixth Company until the day he was discharged!

Just how fierce are these warriors? You can tell by how Su Liujun treats Lao Wang.

Every time the two of them meet, Su Liujun immediately shows his displeasure on his face, and Lao Wang doesn't get angry at all!

Xu Ge felt that with his limited skills, he was definitely not up to the task.

"Commander, I barely managed to get the title of Warrior, and I'll definitely be at the bottom in the Warrior Competition!" Xu Ge said truthfully.

"Young man, don't speak so absolutely!"

Zhang Fengxue patted Xu Ge on the shoulder, "How will you know you can't do it if you don't push yourself? Let me tell you, getting the title of Warrior is at least a third-class merit! And, how about I make an exception and give you a selection spot for the Hidden Wolf?"

Xu Ge's heart skipped a beat: Should he push himself a little?

His first thought was that he still had 1000 points of general proficiency that he hadn't added. If he added those points to physical fitness, he might actually have a chance to get into the top 50.

After all, I can already secure first place in the overall rapid shooting competition, which gives me extra points.

Xu Ge's mind raced, and then he remembered that he still had one more chance to challenge the D-level military order. He immediately checked the difficulty of the Warrior Competition in his mind.

"Choose the challenge to obtain the Warrior title in three days!"

The token instantly provides a notification:

[The host has chosen the challenge of obtaining the title of Warrior in three days, and has been deemed to meet the requirements for Rank D.]

Completing the challenge will reward you with 50 general skill points or 1000 general proficiency points; failing the challenge will result in corresponding penalties.

This perfectly meets the requirements of a Level D military order!
So, if I win the Warrior Competition, I'll not only earn merit, but I can also directly participate in the Hidden Wolf Selection with Ao Xiang, and there will be system rewards to improve my strength.

Moreover, earning merit grants another opportunity to fulfill a military order, further enhancing one's capabilities.

Will this vicious cycle continue?!
Thinking about this, Xu Ge was tempted, and he decided to take a gamble!
This occasion is perfect for him to make a solemn pledge.

"Brigade Commander, our regiment is setting off for Minggang Airport tomorrow for parachute training. If Xu Ge participates in the Warriors competition, will it delay the training process?"

Just as Xu Ge was about to confirm the military order on the token, Regiment Commander Fu Qiang came over and whispered a reminder in Zhang Fengxue's ear.

Fu Qiang's voice was very soft, but Xu Ge heard it perfectly with his current hearing, and he instantly snapped back to reality.

What the hell!

Yes, we're going skydiving!
How could I have forgotten about this?
"So, Xu Ge, have you made up your mind?" Zhang Fengxue asked, seeing that Xu Ge was deep in thought.

Xu Ge: "Reporting to the brigade commander, I feel that my current level is not yet up to the requirements of a warrior. I am prepared to fight again next year!"

"Heh, you've got some self-control, kid!" Zhang Fengxue chuckled.

He was just asking casually, and it didn't matter if Xu Ge didn't want to go.

Only Xu Ge himself knew that his fear of heights was quite severe; in his previous life, he didn't even dare to do a timid bungee jump.

The words of the team leader Fu Qiang reminded him, and Xu Ge immediately thought of using the general proficiency points he had been rewarded with on the parachuting skill that was about to be unlocked.

He had a vague feeling that parachuting might be the first major hurdle in his military career.

. . .

. . .

In the afternoon, upon returning to the camp, Xu Ge and his fellow warriors naturally received a warm welcome.

From the battalion commander and political instructor to the company commander and political instructor, everyone was smiling broadly.

Especially for Liu Guoping, the fact that the Sixth Company has gained six more brave warriors this time is a great joy!

With a wave of his hand, he said, "We're canceling the afternoon training. We're leaving for Ming Kong Airport tomorrow anyway. Each class and platoon can have free time, or even have a meal together!"
Everyone was naturally delighted, but amidst their joy, they gradually noticed something. That was, in the Ninth Squad, originally known as the sick and elderly squad, besides Guo Yuanshuai, there were actually five brave warriors, one fierce fighter, and one who ranked first in the entire regiment in shooting!
This isn't some kind of nursing home for sick people; it's a full-fledged elite force!

Class 9 now only has five people. Two of them are contestants, and the three who accompanied the team throughout the competition are also quite tired. No one is in the mood for a meal together.

What's more, Old Wang hasn't been seen for several days, so he can't buy anything reliable.

Xu Ge returned and lay down on his cot. He took out his phone and first sent the good news to Guo Yuanshuai, but the other party did not reply.

The three veterans were packing their backpacks, while Li Dongshui was playing with Xu Ge's Warrior Medal, occasionally taking a selfie.

"Ah Shui, you said last time that you're afraid of heights, how serious is it?" Xu Ge sat up and asked.

Without a second thought, Li Dongshui said, "It must be very serious. I definitely won't be able to parachute."

Have you ever ridden a drop tower at an amusement park?

"I've played it."

"What about the roller coaster?"

"Who hasn't played this?"

"Bungee jumping?"

Li Dongshui thought for a moment and said, "It only jumped two or three times in total."

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"No way, you call this fear of heights? You're kidding me!"

At this moment, the three veterans sensed something was wrong and looked over in unison. Kaiyoumu asked, "Xu Ge, what you're saying is that you're also afraid of heights?"

Xu Ge nodded: "I'm really scared!"

“You seemed fine while you were climbing, and you didn’t mention any discomfort after you got to the top,” Wang Lin asked.

Xu Ge: "Climbing buildings isn't that high, I'm definitely not afraid of that, but skydiving is really out of my league, just thinking about it scares me!"

Li Dongshui: "But you weren't scared when you rode in the helicopter last time, were you?"

"How can that be the same? Helicopters are controlled by someone, but skydiving is uncontrolled!"

“Wait, it sounds like you’re not afraid of heights, but rather you feel insecure.” Su Liujun stood up. “This is actually easy to overcome. Come on, let us help you.”

Xu Ge was taken aback: "How can I help?"

"Move the chair to the bed, stand on higher ground, and lean back!"

"Oh!"

Xu Ge stood at the highest point, crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back, and fell down.

Snapped!
The other four caught him safely, and Su Liujun asked, "How do you feel?"

"Quite fun."

"Now, thinking about skydiving again, are you still scared?"

"afraid!"

Wang Lin: "No, then why aren't you afraid of this?"

Xu Ge: "I knew you would catch me."

Su Liujun said thoughtfully, "You feel insecure in an environment you don't trust."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Ge immediately realized as well. "I trust you, but I don't trust the parachutes!"

Kaiyoumu said irritably, "You folded that parachute yourself, are you saying that because you don't trust yourself?"

"Yup!"

"You son of a bitch..."

Seeing Xu Ge say this, the veterans were at a loss for what to do.

Wang Lin waved his hand: "Never mind, let's just hand this problem over to the deputy squad leader when we meet tomorrow."

Li Dongshui walked up to Xu Ge and tilted her head: "Why do I feel like your problem is more serious than mine?"

"Is it better to be much more serious?"

Xu Ge was also a little irritated, so he lay down on the bed without saying a word.

Damn it, everyone else is reborn completely new, but how come I brought my fear of heights from my previous life with me?

Seeing that Xu Ge ignored him, Li Dongshui asked the three veterans again: "What will happen if they try everything but still don't dare to jump?"

"I'll kick you off the plane!" Wang Lin threatened.

Xu Ge: ...

Li Dongshui: ...

"Seriously, don't joke around!"

"What else can we do? We can only not jump."

Xu Ge sat up: "What will happen if I don't jump?"

"Of course there are, but at least you can't get into a unit like Sirius."

Kaiyu said with a serious expression, "They will not allow people with psychological problems to come in, because there might be consequences that no one can bear during the mission."

Xu Ge remained silent, knowing that Kaiyoumu was right.

People like Thor often travel overseas, and most of the time they arrive by parachute. If they can't parachute, they definitely can't do it.

"Can't we overcome it through training in the future? Why reject it outright?" Li Dongshui muttered.

Su Liujun said seriously, "You two need to remember this: if you're too scared to jump the first time, you'll only be more afraid the second time!"

"Understood!"

Xu Ge gritted his teeth and nodded.

Now the only hope is to rapidly increase one's proficiency in skydiving skills.
