Chapter 21 The First Lesson in the Army!
"Oh, we've already done it 10 times? I forgot. Let's call it a day and take a break!"

Xu Ge chuckled and walked towards the resting area with his hands behind his back.

Li Dongshui was furious and on the verge of exploding. Looking at the back of that despicable woman, without thinking, he bent down, picked up a small pebble the size of a soybean, and threw it away.

At the same time, Li Dongshui deliberately called out, "Xu Ge!"

Xu Ge subconsciously turned around, only to find his vision blurred.

Snapped!
Something hit my nose, and I immediately felt a sharp pain.

"Oh dear, I was just about to warn you to be careful not to get hit by a pebble, but you just happened to turn around."

Li Dongshui walked past Xu Ge with a smile, "Really, why did you have to catch it with your nose? Hahaha!"

Xu Ge covered his nose, bent down, and began searching for pebbles on the ground.

Although Li Dongshui didn't throw it with much force, his nose is a sensitive area, and it still hurt a bit when he was hit. He wanted revenge!
"No horseplay allowed on the training ground!"

Seeing that Xu Ge was also about to throw stones, Kaiyoumu's stern voice came, "Don't you all want to rest?"

"Yes, sir! I was wrong. I will never fool around on the training field again!"

Li Dongshui quickly admitted her mistake, then sat down next to Kaiyoumu, not forgetting to make a funny face at Xu Ge.

Seeing that Kaiyoumu had spoken, Xu Ge rubbed his nose and sat down to the side without arguing anymore. He played with the pebble in his hand and then tried to throw it.

Snapped!
A pebble flew past a stone the size of an egg, which was more than ten meters away, and hit the ground with a thud.

Xu Ge frowned: It seems that he is still a bit less accurate than Li Dongshui.

This guy truly lives up to his reputation as a top-tier thrower. He seemed to have deliberately called me back just now, which means he had already calculated the timing and location of the stone's fall!
. . .

. . .

In the afternoon, the sun grew even hotter.

Luo Shan gathered all the new recruits together to practice military posture under the sun.

"Drill is the cornerstone of the military, and military posture is the foundation of all drill movements!"

Luo Shan stood between the two rows of people and said in a deep voice, "You may not understand now, and you don't need to understand. What you need to do now is obey! Obey! Obey again!"

The three platoons of new recruits were divided into two rows and stood facing each other, all staring motionlessly at the other side.

"To stand at attention properly, one must be both physically and mentally sharp; only then can one be considered a qualified soldier!"

"Form is your limbs, and spirit is your eyes!"

"The scorching sun is the perfect opportunity to train your eyesight!"

"Don't blink, stare straight ahead! I want to see who's standing there staring blankly into space."

Luo Shan patrolled the ranks. The recruits' faces were all sunburned, and no one moved despite their backs being soaked with sweat. Some even had tears streaming down their faces.

It's not that people don't want to move, it's that they dare not move.

An hour ago, a new recruit in the second squad secretly scratched his itchy back in the ranks, and the entire second squad was ordered to undergo a full hour of discipline on the training ground!

At this point, most of the new recruits realized that from today onwards, they might rarely see the care and smiles of their squad leaders and platoon leaders again!
Xu Ge stood in the queue, his eyes fixed ahead. The token in front of him showed that his queue skill proficiency had increased from 53 last night to 69 now.

He roughly estimated that without the system's support to improve proficiency, it would take at least three days of normal training to achieve the same level of improvement.

From this perspective, the military command system is quite effective.

Luo Shan, who was patrolling the ranks, glanced at his watch: "Three squad leaders, turn around and take one step forward!"

Snapped!
The three squad leaders immediately turned their backs to all the new recruits and took a step forward.

"At ease, all hands!"

"Next, each squad will select one recruit with the best military posture to come up and demonstrate!"

Who's in Class One?

As soon as Luo Shan finished speaking, Kaiyoumu prepared to step forward. "Kaiyoumu doesn't count, find someone else!" Luo Shan said irritably.

The new recruits in Class One looked at each other, and finally all focused their attention on Xu Ge.

Li Dongshui pouted and said, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go up!"

Xu Ge didn't know what Luo Shan meant, but he still came out.

It wasn't that he wanted to show off; it was just that the whole squad was here right now, and he wanted to see if there was a chance to gain some general skill points.

Soon, the second and third platoons each selected a new recruit, and the three of them came to the middle of the two rows of lines.

"Okay, you three take a moment to adjust yourselves. You need to show your best performance later..."

"stand at attention!"

Before Luo Shan could finish speaking, Xu Ge suddenly shouted.

Snapped!
The new recruits who were resting in place instantly stood at attention, and even the three squad leaders who were facing away subconsciously clenched their buttocks.

Xu Ge, who saw all this out of the corner of his eye, was overjoyed. It was a success!

He hurriedly looked at the token, but there was no prompt on it.

Snapped!
Xu Ge was wondering what was going on when he suddenly received a slap on the head.

Luo Shan's voice came from behind: "Are you crazy? What's with all the fuss? Who told you to shout out those commands?!"

Xu Ge cursed inwardly. He had forgotten that since it was a platoon-level unit, Luo Shan, the platoon leader present, would only be considered successful by the system after carrying out military orders.

"Reporting, Platoon Leader, I thought they had already started the military posture competition!" Xu Ge explained.

"Then there's no need for you to give the commands!"

Luo Shan stared at Xu Ge for a while, seemingly trying to figure out if the other party was lying.

Xu Ge stood straight in place, trying hard to keep his expression serious.

"Alright, everyone else, stay at ease. You three, attention!"

After Luo Shan and the other two, including Xu Ge, stood in line, they looked at the new recruits and said loudly, "Next, you will choose the best one. Take a good look!"

The recruits immediately turned to look at the three men standing in front of them.

"Whose military posture is the most perfect? ​​Raise your hand if you're from Class One!"

The new recruits instinctively looked at their squad leaders, only to find that the three squad leaders had their backs to them. Only then did they realize why Luo Shan had asked the squad leaders to turn around in the first place.

"Why are you looking at your class monitor? This is your own business."

Luo Shan glared at him, "Can't you tell who's standing well and who's standing poorly?"

Upon hearing this, the new recruits all raised their hands.

Xu Ge's queue skill is already at LV2, which is much stronger than the other two.

"It seems everyone has sharp eyes!"

After Xu Ge and the other two joined the ranks, Luo Shan raised his voice, "Alright, Class One, finish training 20 minutes early and go back to rest. Classes Two and Three, train for an extra half hour after dinner!"

The recruits were all stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became quite interesting.

Needless to say, the students in Class One were overjoyed.

Some of the others looked terrified when they learned that they would have to practice military posture after dinner, while others looked regretful, wishing they had voted for their own class.

Luo Shan observed the expressions on everyone's faces and said calmly, "This is the first lesson I'm teaching you in the military."

The new recruits didn't understand what the platoon leader meant, and their faces gradually became confused.
