Just as Xu Sanduo was habitually reciting the housekeeping standards to Wu Liuyi, Zhang Hui was offering cigarettes to his comrades in the dormitory, saying, "He's from my hometown, just transferred from the fifth platoon of the third company. Let's all take care of him!"

After scattering the cigarettes around, he said to Bai Tiejun, "Tiejun, these remaining cigarettes are for you. Please look after this kid. If you can help him in the future, I'll give you two more packs of Tashan cigarettes, okay?"

Zhang Hui knew that among all the students in the class, besides himself and Shi Jin, only Bai Tiejun could help Xu Sanduo. Moreover, in the original drama, Bai Tiejun didn't look down on the clumsy Xu Sanduo; on the contrary, he helped him a lot.

"Chengcai, you said it! You have to keep your word!" Upon hearing Zhang Hui's promise, Bai Tiejun's indifferent attitude immediately turned into an enthusiastic one. He felt that he was determined to get those two packs of cigarettes.

After seeing Sergeant Shi call Wu Liuyi out, he even took the initiative to help Xu Sanduo tidy up his bed.

Seeing this, Gan Xiaoning, who was lying on her side on the bed, stood beside her and started giving instructions. This made Xu Sanduo a little more relaxed, and he even chatted with the person next to him about his life in the Fifth Squad.

They talked about his meaningful task of repairing roads and how his comrades in the platoon took care of him. Zhang Hui listened attentively without interrupting, but Bai Tiejun next to him started joking with him.

Finally, Xu Sanduo took some stones out of his pocket, intending to give them to Bai Tiejun.

Zhang Hui looked at the ore that Xu Sanduo had picked up from the grassland and couldn't help but laugh. He somewhat understood Xu Sanduo's idea; he was eager to use these stones to make friends in the Seventh Company.

When Zhang Hui saw those stones, he thought of Xu Sanduo's gruesome induction ceremony, and he thought this was an opportunity.

"Sanduo, put the stone away first. Tiejun and I will explain the induction ceremony to you." Zhang Hui put the stone in his hand into the cabinet, and then gestured for Bai Tiejun to help Xu Sanduo stand up.

Zhang Hui and Bai Tiejun spent more than an hour explaining the Seventh Company's induction ceremony to Xu Sanduo. Finally, Zhang Hui reminded Xu Sanduo to memorize the things he should pay attention to so as not to make mistakes.

Seeing this, Bai Tiejun realized that his new comrade-in-arms was not quick-witted.

Pointing to his head, he whispered to Zhang Hui, "Hey~ Cheng Cai, you fellow villager, are you missing a screw here?"

Seeing his expression, Zhang Hui kicked him in anger, saying disdainfully, "Go away! He's just slow to react, he's not an idiot!"

Bai Tiejun wasn't angry after being kicked. He said to Zhang Hui, "Then I'm at a huge loss. With him like that, two packs of Tashan cigarettes aren't enough for my efforts!"

"A man's word is his bond, you can't go back on your word!" Zhang Hui retorted immediately. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with more, but rather that his allowance couldn't be squandered, and he couldn't take out the gold bars in his personal space to use.

Fortunately, Xu Sanduo's induction ceremony went smoothly. After Zhang Hui saw Shi Jin leave, he spotted Gao Cheng standing outside the window. Now, even if Gao Cheng was still dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything to Xu Sanduo openly.

After the ceremony, Zhang Hui received another reward from the system, several months later.

[The plot has changed due to the host's actions, rewarding you with 4 unallocated points!] Seeing the system's reward, Zhang Hui felt relieved.

In the days that followed, although Class 3's grades did not decline sharply, they were visibly worse than before.

Zhang Hui, whose training schedule was even tighter, couldn't pay attention to Xu Sanduo and could only offer a few words of advice in private.

It's not that he didn't want to lend a hand, but Zhang Hui has recently encountered a crisis as well.

Although he ranked high in shooting, his sniping skills had not improved. Several snipers in the company were vying for first place, which made Zhang Hui unusually anxious.

At first, I could only check the [System Shop] occasionally, but eventually I had to check it whenever I had free time. However, seeing that I only had 11 points, no matter how many good items I found, I didn't have enough points to buy them.

This forced him to wait for the daily flash sales to refresh, hoping to snag a bargain. In the end, he didn't get the skill, but an item called "Eagle Eye" gave him hope.

After reading the brief introduction, Zhang Hui decided to buy it. Although it was only a basic attribute fixation, the flash sale price of only 10 points was irresistible!

After purchasing it, he noticed an energy flowing from his eyes to his brain nerves, indicating that the attribute solidification had been directly applied to his body.

When he opened his eyes after it was over, he realized that his vision was ridiculously good, and the world he saw seemed different from what he had just seen.

On the second day of field training involving human-vehicle coordination, Zhang Hui shone brightly. Standing on the swaying vehicle, he hit all the fixed targets, and not a single moving target escaped his hit.

Compared to the outstanding Zhang Hui, Xu Sanduo was somewhat embarrassed by the Seventh Company's first training session.

As soon as the car started, Xu Sanduo began to vomit violently, rendering all subsequent training impossible.

Although I knew he would get carsick, I didn't expect it to be this severe. I could only wait until the training was over, then call him out separately to train him ahead of time, with Bai Tiejun as an indispensable helper.

Just as Xu Sanduo was getting used to the daily routine of the Steel Seventh Company, he also experienced his first exercise in the company, in which the company carried out a disguise and infiltration mission.

As soon as the exercise started, Zhang Hui took Xu Sanduo, who was sticking to Squad Leader Shi, away. As long as Xu Sanduo didn't pay too much attention to Shi Jin, he wouldn't see that the other party hadn't eaten breakfast, and therefore wouldn't bring those two hot eggs.

During a meal, Zhang Hui heard the instructor shout for an emergency evacuation. He grabbed Xu Sanduo and pulled him away. In his haste, he accidentally strangled the boy. When he pushed him to the camouflaged area, Zhang Hui realized that Xu Sanduo's eyes were almost rolling back in his head.

Startled, he quickly let go and patted Xu Sanduo's chest to help him breathe. As he patted, he noticed something was wrong with Xu Sanduo's shirt pocket. He pulled it out and was so angry he wanted to curse. There were two hot eggs in his hand.

Hearing the helicopter's rumbling sound outside grow louder, Zhang Hui quickly buried the eggs in the soil beneath him to isolate the heat source before it could be explored.

At this moment, Xu Sanduo, who had caught his breath, shouted, "Chengcai! Don't throw it away, that's the breakfast I got for the squad leader."

The sudden sound made Shi Jin, who was at the edge of the bunker, look over. Before he could reprimand him, Zhang Hui growled at Gan Xiaoning beside him, "Quick! Grab him, the helicopter reconnaissance is coming soon."

Gan Xiaoning sensed something was wrong and pounced on Xu Sanduo without saying a word, covering the boy's mouth. Shi Jin also quickly shouted, "Quiet, lie down!"

Sweating profusely, Zhang Hui buried the eggs and listened to the sound of helicopters outside, praying that they wouldn't find them, otherwise a week's worth of hard work would be wasted.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse Xu Sanduo in my heart. I've gone to so much trouble, when did this idiot secretly hide the eggs? He didn't even know to take the room temperature ones, he had to take the hot ones, damn it!

After a long, anxious wait, he finally received the order that the infrared reconnaissance had passed. Hearing that he had passed without any major incident, Zhang Hui was finally able to take off his hat and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

[The plot has changed due to the host's actions; 15 unallocated points will be awarded as a reward!]

The system rewards that followed didn't make him very happy either.

When Shi Jin finally asked what had happened, Zhang Hui glanced at Xu Sanduo, who was standing beside him looking embarrassed, and then told him what had happened.

Upon hearing what had happened, Shi Jin frowned at Xu Sanduo for the first time, as if he wanted to yell at him, but he restrained himself.

In the end, Xu Sanduo was only punished with a self-examination, but the news still reached Gao Cheng's ears, which made him, who was already unhappy, curse Shi Jin severely.

In subsequent exercises, Xu Sanduo was in a very poor condition, and for the first time, the entire platoon treated him as if he didn't exist.

Zhang Hui was busy with the follow-up tasks in the exercise. He couldn't abandon the subsequent actions because of Xu Sanduo's condition, since it also concerned Shi Jin's final decision on whether to stay or leave.
