The sudden voice made Lin Shu and Wang Yanbing subconsciously look toward the source of the voice. They saw a strong man wearing the rank of a second-class sergeant major walking over. It was their squad leader, Old Hei.
Seeing Old Hei, Wang Yanbing panicked, but then he heard Lin Shu say,
"Reporting, Sir. My physical fitness is too poor, so I'm giving myself more practice to improve."
It was not a big deal for the squad leader to find out that the new recruits were doing extra training for themselves, so he did not scold them for that.
"Additional training?"
Old Hei looked at Lin Shu suspiciously. Wang Yanbing was no exception, but Lin Shu… Old Hei felt like the sun had risen from the west. Lin Shu, who was usually lazy and could not take hardships, would purposely give himself extra training...?
What was wrong with him?
Why was the sudden change in attitude?
But seeing Lin Shu's serious gaze, Old Hei didn't say any of his questions and instead said, "Go back to sleep," before leaving.
After Old Hei left, Lin Shu finished the rest of his push-ups. The system rewarded him. At this moment, his physical strength had reached 2.18 points.
The third mission was to complete the task of carrying a weight of no less than 30 kilograms and cross-country for five kilometers. He would receive 30 EXP, +0.1 Constitution Strength, and +0.1 Willpower!
However, this could only be done during the day.
Wang Yanbing was still training. Lin Shu nodded at him and went back to the dormitory alone.
What Lin Shu didn't notice was that Old Hei didn't go far. He was watching him and Wang Yanbing's training.
"Haa…"
Old Hei sighed.
Silly boy. What's the use of extra training at this time? It was basically a last-minute effort. If Lin Shu had practiced a month earlier, he would have made it in time, but now… How much could he improve in a week? It was too late!
....
Because the recruits' assessment was approaching, the training missions became heavier. Old Hei's training regiment was particularly brutal, causing many recruits to complain.
"Is he trying to train us to death?!"
In addition to the increased training tasks, the recruits also discovered something very surprising. Lin Shu was no longer lazy, and his training results had improved significantly.
Not only that, but he also often took the initiative to increase the training's amount and difficulty.
In just three short days, he had risen from the bottom to the middle and upper levels, making many recruits dumbfounded.
They didn't know that Lin Shu had been training by himself in addition to completing the training missions assigned by Old Hei. With the system's daily strengthening mission, his stats had significantly increased.
In the last two days of the recruit's training, Lin Shu's Constitution Strength had reached 2.5, and his Willpower had also increased to 2.32!
The squad leader and Gong Jian were secretly surprised. Lin Shu's improvement was so fast that it made them wonder if the kid was pretending to be at the bottom before.
Not to mention Lin Shu and Wang Yanbing continued to train together every night.
Old Hei had seen the two of them a few times, but he never showed up again.
He nodded.
With Lin Shu's current results and his terrifying shooting skills, he should be able to get into the normal infantry division. Old Hei was happy for him.
Lin Shu and Wang Yanbing didn't talk much. They only met each other every night and occasionally chatted.
That night, after completing the strengthening daily mission, Lin Shu's EXP rose to 200 points, which was enough for him to level up to level 3.
Just as he was about to level up, he saw a figure slowly walk over and hug Wang Yanbing's legs on the parallel bars.
"The two of you can increase your training quantity, but don't ignore your body needs!"
"Let go of your hand. What's with your form?"
"Alright, I'll let go." When He Chenguang heard this, he decisively let go.
Wang Yanbing fell to the ground. "Aiyo, f*ck. I told you to let go, but you really let go…"
He Chenguang said to Wang Yanbing and Lin Shu with a serious expression,
"There is a limit to how much a person can endure. If you continue like this, it will only have the opposite effect."
He had long known that Wang Yanbing and Lin Shu had been training hard every night, but he knew that such unscientific training could easily break their bodies.
"I know my own body!" Wang Yanbing said as he got up from the ground. "This is none of your business."
"If you continue like this, your body will collapse! Let's go back and rest!"
He Chenguang grabbed Wang Yanbing's arm to stop him.
"What do you know!"
Wang Yanbing struggled to break free. "If I don't work hard on the training ground, that's the greatest irresponsibility I'll have on the battlefield. I will tell you now if I don't work hard today, even if we enter the Sharpshooter 4th division together, I'll still be number two! That's why I'm not satisfied! That's why I have to defeat you!"
The conversation between the two of them was basically no different from the original drama that Lin Shu watched in his previous life.
In the middle of the heated argument, Wang Yanbing talked about his grandmother.
He Chenguang fell silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
However, Lin Shu knew very well that He Chenguang had planned to go easy on Wang Yanbing in the last assessment and sacrifice his chance to enter the Sharpshooter 4th division to help Wang Yanbing. And he did not plan to tell this to Wang Yanbing.
Lin Shu did not agree with He Chengguang's methods. Not only would this be unhelpful to Wang Yanbing, but this would also be trampling on his dignity.
'He Chenguang's family background is destined for him to have great achievements in the army even if he is assigned to an ordinary division…'
Lin Shu sighed in his heart. He Chenguang's grandfather was a former military commander. Just based on this fact alone, it guarantees his future in the military.
However, he did not intervene in the matter between the two men. The most important thing now was how to improve himself.
After He Chenguang left, Lin Shu thought for a while and said to Wang Yanbing,
"It's getting late. I'll go back first. You should rest too!"
"Yes." Wang Yanbing nodded.
Back in the dorm, Lin Shu summoned the system. "System, upgrade!"
Ding!
[Congratulations to the host for leveling up to level 3. You may choose one of the following rewards:]
[Reward 1: Skill-S-level Sniper Tactics Proficiency. After selection, you will automatically be proficient in sniping tactics, including but not limited to wind speed, trajectory, ground suction calculation, etc., as well as proficiency in Sniping any Firearm!]
[Reward 2: Skill-Eagle Sight and Snake Movement. After selection, vision will be enhanced, eyes will be bright, and body will be as agile as an elf!]
[Reward 3: Skill-S-rank Hand-to-hand Combat. After selection, the host will automatically master Hand-to-hand Combat. This skill required the support of one's physique. The stronger one's physique, the stronger one's strength!]
Of the three rewards, two of them had appeared last time. However, there were some changes to the hand-to-hand combat reward. Last time, it was beginner-level, but this time, it was S-level.
However, Lin Shu had never understood the levels. Does that mean he could still level up?
After hesitating for a while, Lin Shu finally chose the skill "Eagle Sight Snake Movement". He could not use it in combat for the time being. As for the sniper tactic, it won't be useful to him at the moment either. It would be the same next time.
Then the system notification rang in his ears.
Ding!
[Detected! The host has completed 10 missions in total. You have received a mission treasure chest (small). Do you wish to open it?]
A mission treasure chest?
Lin Shu did not even think about it and chose to open it.
[Congratulations to the host for opening a mission treasure chest (small). Reward: All attribute points +1!]
F*ck!
'All attribute points +1, this... Isn't this too good?' Lin Shu was overjoyed and quickly checked his personal interface.

....
"With a Constitution of 3.5 points, it's not impossible for a recruit to get first place in all subjects in the assessment…" Lin Shu touched his chin, his eyes filled with surprise. This system was too awesome! He felt that his body had improved significantly compared to when he first transmigrated.
At this moment, Lin Shu narrowed his eyes. He was looking forward to tomorrow's recruit assessment!
