Chapter 19: New Skill Extraction: Military Dog Training!

On the equipment field, Du Hu was organizing the new recruits to go up and do pull-ups one by one.

This was actually a preliminary assessment to see what the new recruits were like.

Du Hu had high expectations. Xu Ge originally thought he could do at least 6 pulls, but after getting on the bar, he could only do 4 pulls before he couldn't get up any further, even though he was following Du Hu's instructions.

"Lower both arms completely, without bending them, and then pull up the next one, bringing the bar to your chest!"

"He's already done with just two bowel movements?"

At this moment, Li Dongshui was hanging on the horizontal bar, his legs kicking wildly, his expression contorted, looking like he was using every ounce of strength he had.

Xu Ge was standing in the queue, watching the spectacle, when he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder.

Looking back, I realized that Luo Shan had somehow ended up at the back.

"What are you laughing at?" Luo Shan's expression was a half-smile.

"Platoon leader, I wasn't laughing at anything!"

How many can you make?

"Report, four and a half!"

"Four and a half? This is the first time I've ever heard of doing half a pull-up."

Luo Shan approached the new recruits, "Xu Ge!"

"To!"

Did your squad leader tell you the minimum standards for new recruits?

“I said, the minimum standard is 24 passing, 30 good, and 36 excellent!” Xu Ge replied loudly.

Du Hu and Kaiyou remained silent.

Luo Shan looked somewhat surprised, but calmly continued, "So, given your current level of only being able to do four, when do you think you'll reach the excellent level?"

"This..." Xu Ge hesitated, unsure how to answer.

"What about the others? How long does it take them to reach the passing grade?"

No one said a word.

Luo Shan then looked at Li Dongshui, who had just come down from the bar and was looking at his hands with a pained expression.

"Li Dongshui!"

"To!"

"Tell me, when will you be able to pass?"

"Reporting, Platoon Leader!" Li Dongshui thought seriously for a moment, "Three or four months should be about right..."

Luo Shan was so angry he laughed: "You've been back to the old company for three or four months! You're just waiting to embarrass me in the old unit, aren't you?"

"Reporting to the platoon leader, at most one month!" Du Hu shouted.

The new recruits: ...

Luo Shan nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, then I'll see how you do! It's about time, take them back to wash up!"

"Yes!"

. . .

. . .

After breakfast, the new recruits were tidying up their uniforms in the dormitory. They would be going out for training in a little while, so they had to make sure their belts were fastened in advance.

Du Hu was nowhere to be found. Kaiyoumu reminded everyone, "Tighten your belts, don't leave them loose..."

Hiss! Whoosh!
Xu Ge took a deep breath and suddenly tightened his belt with both hands, instantly feeling like he couldn't breathe.

"Don't suffocate yourself!" Li Dongshui glanced at Xu Ge from the side and continued to slowly adjust the length of her belt.

Seeing that Xu Ge ignored him, he turned to Kaiyoumu and asked, "Squad leader, was what the squad leader said at the equipment field this morning a joke or was he serious?"

“There’s no joking in the military, of course it’s true!” Kaiyoumu tugged at Li Dongshui’s belt, frowning. “It’s too loose, re-tie it!”

"Squad leader, did you just finish eating?"

"Who told you to eat so much? Hurry up and get it done!"

"Oh!"

Li Dongshui had no choice but to loosen his belt again, his expression grim. "Deputy squad leader, I just looked at the schedule. Most of the classes this month are drills, so there's hardly any time to practice on the parallel bars and horizontal bars. I definitely won't be able to do 20 pull-ups in a month!"

"Don't we have plenty of time after lunch and dinner?" Kaiyoumu laughed. "The class monitor said I'll personally lead you guys in extra practice!" "Huh? Extra practice?"

The recruits all looked grim.

That means there's no rest time at all throughout the day!

Qi Ruibiao panicked: "Then I won't even have time to video chat with my girlfriend? She's someone I just started dating before I came here, and it's a crucial time for us, Deputy Squad Leader!"

"Hey young man, it's all the same whether you break up sooner or later."

Kaiyou patted Qi Ruibiao on the shoulder, "During my time in the army, I never saw a single couple that didn't break up!"

Seeing Qi Ruibiao's expression, which looked like he was about to cry, Kaiyoumu comforted him, "As long as you do well in training, you'll be rewarded with rest time!"

Li Dongshui shook her head and whispered to Xu Ge, "To be honest, the class monitor's PUA skills are really not that great."

"Come out and assemble!"

Before Xu Ge could reply, Du Hu's voice rang out from the doorway.

The new recruits immediately went outside and found Luo Shan holding a whistle, ready to blow it.

Beep!
"All personnel, assemble on the playground!"

After assembling and forming up, each company and platoon was assigned a training area, and the first lesson of the recruit company officially began.

The first squad of the first company was located on a cement area near the wall of the dormitory building. After Du Hu led everyone over, he checked their uniforms again.

"Training content: at ease, attention, and straddle stance!"

These three items are the simplest content in individual drills. After explaining the key points of the movements, the new recruits began to stand at attention in place.

Du Hu somehow found a deck of cards and slipped them between everyone's fingers and legs. This way, the new recruits immediately learned which body parts needed to be used for military posture.

Xu Ge's formation was already at LV2 level, and he was clearly much stronger than the others just by standing there.

Seeing this, Du Hu immediately had Xu Ge step forward and stand alone at the front, setting an example for the other new recruits.

“You should all take a good look at how Xu Ge stands.”

"Lean forward slightly and tuck your chin in!"

"Squad leader, go behind them and correct their movements!"

"Who dropped their playing cards? Ten minutes of overtime!"

"Xu Ge, you can rest now."

"Yes!"

Amidst the envious gazes of the new recruits, Xu Ge smugly swung his arms and legs, stretching and yawning.

The sun gradually rises, and the temperature gradually increases.

The ultraviolet radiation is intense in the northwest, and the sunlight feels like it's burning your face.

Xu Ge was led by Du Hu to rest in the shade by the wall. Just like at school, outstanding students always receive preferential treatment.

Seeing that Du Hu was alright for the moment, Xu Ge said with a studious expression, "Squad leader, I haven't fully grasped the key points of the straddle stance you just explained."

Du Hu was surprised by the other party's enthusiasm and said with a smile, "Then stand up and let me see what's not quite right."

"Squad leader, could you give me a demonstration?" Xu Ge said immediately.

"sure!"

As he spoke, Du Hu stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Squad leader, let me give you the password!"

Before Du Hu could react, Xu Ge immediately shouted the command: "Attention! Stand at ease!"

Du Hu originally intended to give himself the command, but since Xu Ge had already shouted it out, he didn't think much of it, snapped to attention, and quickly shifted his right leg to the side, placing his hands behind his back to stand in a straddle stance.

Pretty!

Xu Ge shouted excitedly in his heart, completely ignoring Du Hu, his attention already drawn to the token that had automatically appeared.

As expected, new skills can also be extracted from Du Hu!
