Chapter 201 Individual Second-Class Merit?
On the first day of May Day, although it was a holiday, everyone in the camp was washing and cleaning.

There was no way around it; everyone was just too dirty when we got back from the training camp.

Showering, washing clothes, washing bed sheets and duvet covers, getting a haircut...

We used up bags of laundry detergent and poured out bottles of 84 disinfectant.

Guo Yuanshuai found a pair of clippers and, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, gave the soldiers haircuts in the third-floor corridor.

With over 20 years of military service, the sergeant's hairdressing skills are undoubtedly superb.

At first, only the people from Class 9 were in line, then the entire third platoon came over, and later the whole company started lining up at the back.

Guo Yuanshuai shook his aching arms, glanced at the dozens of people behind him, and didn't bother with any more poses.

"Hey you, go to the mess hall and get me a bowl!"

Zhou Meng was next for a haircut. As soon as he sat down, he felt like a bowl had been placed on his head. He said with a pained expression, "Old squad leader, why did you start getting haircuts as soon as it was my turn..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm exhausted!"

Guo Yuanshuai quickly ran the clippers around the scalp along the rim of the bowl twice, then said, "Get out of here, next one!"

Instantly, the queue sped up.

In Class 9's dormitory, Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were changing into their summer physical training clothes, while Kaiyoumu urged them on.

"Hurry up, and bring the water bottle too!"

The three of them were going to the training ground for extra practice.

Li Dong slowly pulled on his shorts and asked in a low voice, "I feel that with my sniping skills, even if I don't meet the requirements in other aspects, Sirius would still make an exception and recruit me, right?"

Kaiyumu said with a serious expression, "If you have this idea, then don't participate in the selection. You'll just be sent back even if you get in!"

"I was just kidding, I'll definitely be participating with you two!" Li Dongshui laughed awkwardly and sped up.

Xu Ge filled his water bottle and greeted Guo Yuanshuai in the corridor after he went outside: "Squad leader, we're going down to collect our guns!"

Guo Yuanshuai nodded: "Go ahead, I'll come find you guys this afternoon after I'm done with my work."

"it is good!"

The three arrived at the armory, registered with the armorer, and each received a rifle and pistol. After a quick warm-up outside the gate, they ran towards the training ground.

The sun is high in the sky, and the temperature is rising.

Perhaps because he had just returned from the Central Plains, Xu Ge had the illusion that the Northwest had suddenly jumped from winter to summer.

All three of them have qualified to participate in this year's Sirius Commando selection. After learning that the selection will be held on May 18, Kaiyoumu said that he would seize the time to prepare for the exam.

Li Dongshui, lagging behind, huffed and puffed, "This is so unfair! My sniper rifle is heavier than your Type 191!"

"Xu Ge, could you..."

"roll!"

Twenty minutes later, the three arrived at the gate of the training ground and strolled inside.

I ran six kilometers and my body was fully warmed up.

"It's my first time running since I got back, so I'm still a bit unaccustomed to it. It's quite tiring," Li Dongshui said, panting.

Kaiyumu nodded: "The oxygen content is different, and it will take a few more days for our bodies to adjust. From now on, the three of us will run ten kilometers every morning and evening!"

Li Dongshui: "Huh?"

"What? Do you still want to go to Sirius or not?"

"Of course I do!"

Xu Ge looked at Kaiyoumu: "What were the selection criteria for you last year when you participated in the Sirius Selection? Were they different from the Warriors Tournament?"

"Physical fitness and shooting are definitely the basic requirements, and this year there should be an additional item: comprehensive rapid shooting."

Kaiyu thought for a moment, "The rest will depend on the situation. The first day is the basic subjects, and the second and third days are open subjects."

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were both curious: "What are open courses?"

"They will design a task, and the process of completing this task will test your various qualities, including physical, psychological, reconnaissance, wilderness survival, and response to extreme situations."

"So what was your mission last year?"

Kaiyu's expression was somewhat unnatural: "I was eliminated halfway through the 40-kilometer journey across the border, passing through 6 obstacles."

"Why?" Xu Ge asked curiously, "I don't feel like you have any weaknesses."

"Sometimes it's all about luck. I needed to start a fire in the wild and get a bunch of fuel going, but..."

"What happened?"

"Hayamo, it's suddenly raining!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
Li Dongshui: ? ? ?

"No, shouldn't we be given another chance to retake the exam in this situation?" Li Dongshui felt somewhat indignant on Kaiyoumu's behalf.

Xu Ge asked, "What about the others? Were all the people who were with you eliminated?"

Kaiyu sighed: "Some others passed and some were eliminated, which means it can only be my own problem."

Xu Ge was also puzzled: "Someone passed? How did they pass?"

Kaiyoumu: "Some people noticed the weather was getting weird and found shelter from the rain in advance, while others just used their helmets to block the rain... Damn, I was really stupid back then, I just didn't think of that!"

"So, according to you, Sirius not only looks at military skills, but also how quick-witted each person is?" Xu Ge understood.

"That's right. In the words of their leader, an idiot can't be a special forces soldier." Kaiyu still wants to slap himself when he thinks about it now.

Li Dongshui said confidently, "Then I'm definitely fine!"

. . .

. . .

The three entered the training ground, only to find that people were already training in various areas.

Bang bang bang!
Gunshots also came from the shooting range.

"Damn, is it really possible for these people to be as motivated and hardworking as us during a holiday?" Li Dongshui complained.

Kaiyumu wasn't surprised at all: "This year, Sirius announced that only those who have obtained the title of Warrior are eligible for selection. There are more than 300 people in the whole brigade. Although not everyone will sign up, there will probably be at least 100 people."

Xu Ge asked, "What is the annual selection quota for Tianlang?"

“It’s different every year. Last year there were only 20 quotas, but this year there will definitely be more.”

"why?"

"I heard from the squad leader last time that Sirius seems to be expanding its ranks!"

Xu Ge was taken aback: "Really? Ah Shui, quickly send a message to ask Lao Wang."

"Wearing workout clothes, who would bring a cell phone?" Li Dongshui looked at the people sweating profusely on the training field and expressed his incomprehension. "What's so great about Tianlang? Why do so many people want to go?"

Kaiyumu: "The good treatment is one aspect. Although the training is tough, there are many opportunities to make merits and get promoted, and it's easy to stay in the team there!"

Xu Ge looked at Kaiyoumu: "Why did you always want to join Sirius? With your qualities, you could easily stay in our company, right?"

"The first phase is better, but it's difficult to get ahead from the third phase onwards. Besides, who doesn't want to make contributions and get promoted? The salary is much higher!" Kaiyoumu laughed.

"Are you short of money?" Li Dongshui asked seriously. "If you encounter any problems, you can tell us!"

"No, but my family's financial situation is just average. I'm the one who pays for my sister's living expenses."

Kaiyumu gestured for the two to head directly to the firing range. "But these are only a small part of the reason. The real reason I want to go to Sirius is because I love being a soldier and I love the feeling of sweating it out on the training ground and the battlefield!"

Li Dongshui pouted: "I'm not as weird as you. I just like shooting."

"And what about you, Xu Ge?" Kaiyoumu asked.

Xu Ge said with a deep expression, "I want to be a general, so that with one command, the entire army can move at once!"

Kaiyoumu and Li Dongshui said without a doubt, "Yes, we believe you, otherwise you wouldn't enjoy training others so much!"

The three went straight to the shooting range. Kaiyoumu went to register and get bullets, while Xu Ge found a shooting position, lay down, and turned to Li Dongshui: "Go and report the target for us."

Li Dongshui objected: "Why should I go?"

"Is it still necessary for you to shoot at a 200-meter target, sniper god?"

Xu Ge coaxed, "Kaiyoumu and I will practice a few sets first, and then I'll report the target to you when you practice comprehensive rapid shooting."

"That's pretty much it."

Li Dongshui was about to walk towards the target trench when he suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, the combined rapid fire is aimed at a 30-meter steel plate target, so there's no need to report the target, okay?"

"How about I, the second fastest marksman in the entire army, personally teach you how to shoot a pistol?"

"That can!"

Li Dongshui then took the walkie-talkie and went over satisfied. When Kaiyoumu returned with the bullets, the two of them began practicing shooting at 200 meters while lying on the ground.

clatter! clatter! clatter!
clatter! clatter! clatter!
After each set of matches, Li Dongshui would announce the results over the walkie-talkie.

"92 rings!"

"90 rings!"

"88 rings! Xu Ge, your trajectory has been veering to the lower left, adjust it a little!"

Xu Ge thought for a moment and decided to remove the scope and aim using only iron sights.

Da da da!
Da da da!
Soon Li Dongshui's voice came again: "83 rings, but the bullet trajectory is more concentrated. Did you change your iron sights?"

It seems this kid really has some skill in shooting; you can tell just by looking at this.

Xu Ge thought to himself, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Ah Shui, come back, it's time for lunch."

He had previously discussed with Kaiyuki that, in order to save time, they would just grab a quick bite at the training ground at noon and then continue training.

Li Dongshui quickly ran back: "What shall we eat?"

Kaiyu pointed to the entrance of the training ground: "Go check those tricycles, they sell all sorts of things there, just grab something."

Li Dongshui became unhappy again: "Why do I have to go again?"

Xu Ge: "Then you clean my gun and return the bullets, and I'll go buy some?"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Dongshui ran away.

. . .

. . .

Just as Xu Ge and Kaiyoumu finished returning the bullets and were about to find a shady place to rest, they noticed a motorcycle coming in from the main gate of the training ground. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the driver was none other than Guo Yuanshuai!

"Hey, let's go climb the building!"

Standing behind the motorcycle, Li Dongshui shouted, holding a lunchbox in one hand and supporting Guo Yuanshuai with the other.

Xu Ge and his companion immediately ran towards the climbing building with their guns on their backs. When they arrived, Guo Yuanshuai had already parked the car.

"Holy crap! It's a Gale Electric Motorcycle!"

Kaiyu looked at the motorcycle in surprise, "Squad leader, where did you get this?"

"Haha, it's a holiday today, and Xu Can rode this over to see me. I saw you guys were about to eat and hadn't come back yet, so I packed up the food and brought it over!"

Guo Yuanshuai gestured for the three to go inside the climbing building. "Have you forgotten that the mess hall provided extra food for lunch today?"

"I love you so much, Deputy Squad Leader!"

The three were deeply moved and immediately found a clean spot to take out their lunchboxes and place them on the ground.

"Eat quickly, it's still hot!" Guo Yuanshuai lit a cigarette and sat down to the side. "I've already eaten!"

The lunch was indeed plentiful, and the three of them were already starving, so they immediately picked up their rice and started eating.

"Hey squad leader, where did Xu Can get her electric motorcycle? Did she buy it herself?" Xu Ge asked curiously.

Guo Yuanshuai: "It's their Hidden Wolves' new equipment this year."

"What the hell?"

Xu Ge and the other two were quite surprised. "Wait, this thing can be considered new equipment?"

"Don't underestimate these electric motorcycles, they're quite effective on our terrain!"

Guo Yuanshuai explained, "I rode it over just now and felt it out. The performance is very stable, and it's not very noisy. Most importantly, the battery life is over 100 meters!"

"Think about it, if you need to move quickly, wouldn't two wheels be much faster than two legs? This thing can be folded up and isn't heavy, so even a single soldier can carry it!"

"That's really awesome!" Kaiyuki nodded. "It increases mobility several times over!"

After dinner, the three of them took turns trying out the electric motorcycles, riding around the training ground and having a blast.

While Kaiyoumu and Li Dongshui were fighting over the motorcycle, Xu Ge walked up to Guo Yuanshuai and whispered:

"Squad leader, didn't the regimental commander say during the last exercise that as long as we find the Blue Army's command post, in addition to a collective second-class merit, each of us would also receive an individual third-class merit?"

"what happened?"

Does this count?

"Of course it counts!" Guo Yuanshuai smiled mysteriously. "Let me tell you a little secret: our class not only has a collective second-class merit award, but also an individual second-class merit award!"

Xu Ge's first thought was that Guo Yuanshuai had been awarded a second-class merit, and he was immediately surprised and delighted: "Wow! Squad leader, you've got two second-class merits at once!"

Guo Yuanshuai looked at Xu Ge with a smile: "It's you!"

Xu Ge was taken aback: "What do you mean by 'me'?"

Guo Yuanshuai: "A second-class merit award!"

"Holy crap!!!" Xu Ge was completely stunned. "Deputy squad leader, are you kidding me?"

"Why would I tease you? My class monitor called me specifically!"

Guo Yuanshuai pinched Xu Ge's cheek, "Ge Bao, just let your parents wait at home for the team delivering the good news to pass by! Hahaha!"

Xu Ge still couldn't believe it: "Squad leader, why me?"

"Because you took out the Blue Army commander, right?" Guo Yuanshuai explained. "Do you know that this kind of thing is rare and hard to come by? I've participated in no fewer than ten exercises, but I've never had this kind of opportunity before?"

"So that's how it is!" Xu Ge exclaimed in realization, his excitement instantly rising. "Then, squad leader, do you know when the order for this merit award will be issued?"

"Are you in a hurry?" Guo Yuanshuai said irritably. "You're not going to get away from me!"

Xu Ge: ...

Of course he's anxious!

Before the exercise, he had already signed a D-level military pledge. As soon as the order to perform meritorious service was issued, the system's reward would be immediately in place, and he could continue to use general proficiency to improve his strength!

Thinking of this, Xu Ge summoned the token.

front:

"Queue: LV4 (198/9999)"

"Internal Affairs: LV4 (209/9999)"

Physical Fitness: LV4 (1655/9999)

"Shooting: LV4 (1231/9999)"

"Tactics: LV4 (2114/9999)"

"Combat: LV3 (751/999)"

"Barrier: LV4 (480/9999)"

"Reconnaissance: LV3 (383/999)"

Parachute Descent: LV4 (345/9999)

back:

Cooking: Advanced (10/50)

"Throwing: Special Grade (10/500)"

Military Dog Training: Advanced (3/50)

Driving: Intermediate (3/10)

"Rapid Fire: Master Level (5/9999)"

"Claw Blade Technique: Advanced (18/50)"

"Rock-Paper-Scissors: Advanced (3/50)"

"Bite: Superior (22/500)"

"Sniffing: Superior (15/500)"

Mental Arithmetic: Advanced (3/50)

"Craftsmanship: Intermediate (1/10)"

As Kaiyumu mentioned before, the two most basic requirements for the Sirius selection are physical fitness and shooting, with at most one more requirement: rapid shooting.

Xu Ge's rapid-fire skills have reached the master level, so he naturally doesn't need to worry about failing the rapid-fire test.

The reward for a Level D military order is 50 general skill points or 1000 general proficiency points.

He had already decided that if the order to perform meritorious service came down before May 18th, he would add 1000 points of general proficiency to physical fitness and shooting.
