"Could it be that I've been tricked? Did this brat wake up in the middle of the night to secretly train?"
Xiao Yunjie could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried. With a helpless expression, he followed Yan Poyue and folded his blanket with his head lowered.
After a while, Li Xiang's voice became incomparably gentle as he said, "Chen Ran, your cleaning skills are the best. You're comparable to a veteran. You usually put in a lot of effort, right?"
"Huh?"
Yan Poyue was still thinking about how to fold the blanket, but when he heard Xiao Yunjie's words, he was instantly enraged. He could not help but raise his head and look at Xiao Yunjie.
"Damn it, this guy must have secretly practiced it. Otherwise, everyone would have the same result. Why would his cleaning skills be the best?
"He's actually hiding and training in secret. He's really done me in…"
Just as Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie were feeling aggrieved, Li Xiang continued, "You take care of those two idiots. If you don't do well, I'll punish you!"
Swoosh!
Chen Ran originally just wanted to watch a good show, but he did not expect those two fellows to be in trouble for cleaning. He could not help but twitch his mouth.
"It's really not good to be too high-profile. If I had known earlier, I would have folded it like this."
Chen Ran knew that he would definitely be targeted by the company commander during this run, but he did not expect that it would be impossible to guard against. This matter was actually because of folding blankets.
Of course, he had no problem teaching those two fellows. It was just that those two never asked. How could he teach them?
Just as Chen Ran was about to turn away, the system's voice suddenly sounded.
"Sign-in system mission: Help your roommates improve their life skills. Reward: 100 experience points."
"Reward is 100 experience points?"
The moment Chen Ran received the mission, he immediately swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
'As expected, these two guys are catalysts. Anything related to them can always trigger the system reward.
'The first time we met, Xiao Yunjie bullied Lu Xiaotian and I went up to help him. I even received a system reward for a strengthening opportunity. In the long-distance running competition that just ended, because I defeated these two, the system directly rewarded me with 100 experience points and a strengthening opportunity.
'There's also a mission to teach them how to fold a blanket this time. The key is that I can earn experience points. This is actually a good thing."
Chen Ran immediately replied, "Yes."
Li Xiang nodded and said, "Go."
As he spoke, Li Xiang was also a little puzzled. After all, he had seen the three of them train extra at night. He knew that these guys definitely did not have time to deal with their cleaning duties. They had come today to catch the tails of the three of them, especially Chen Ran.
"After being praised by those veterans, this guy actually made it onto the rankings. He even pushed Old Dog Fan from the cookhouse down and changed the rankings.
"It's not a good thing for a recruit to suddenly get such a high honor. It's easy to get carried away."
In the end, Li Xiang did not expect that when he was inspecting their beds just now, he could not find any problems with Chen Ran at all.
"That's weird, isn't it?"
Li Xiang was surprised. He had no choice but to ask Chen Ran to bring Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie to clean properly.
"I don't believe that I can't find anything wrong with Chen Ran."
It was natural that Li Xiang could not find any problems with Chen Ran's cleaning. After all, Chen Ran had S-rank military camp life skills.
Chen Ran's internal affairs level had already exceeded that of a veteran who had been in the army for more than ten years. In order to keep a low profile, he only made his results slightly better than the passing mark. Otherwise, if he did his best, the outcome would have shocked Li Xiang even more.
Chen Ran wanted to help Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie because of the system mission, which was the key to his strength.
"Including the reward just now, another 200 will allow me to level up."
Chen Ran secretly calculated his own experience points and walked out.
As soon as he walked out, he saw the two brats, Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie, folding the blanket forcefully with their butts sticking out. They looked helpless.
"You're indeed a life idiot."
Chen Ran walked over and said, "The blanket is not folded with your butt. You have to use your fingers, joints, elbows…"
Hearing Chen Ran's voice, Xiao Yunjie looked puzzled. He suddenly stood up and stared at Chen Ran indignantly.
'This guy clearly trained last night, but I don't see him doing any cleaning. How can he know how to do that, especially folding the blanket? I've only seen him do it once.
'How can he learn so quickly?
'Could it be that he's really talented in life?'
Xiao Yunjie stared at Chen Ran for a while before finally asking, "What are you doing here?"
Chen Ran grinned and said, "I'll teach you how to fold the blanket. The company commander just gave me an order to teach you guys."
For people like Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie, who were both stubborn and prideful, only the company commander could suppress them. Otherwise, they would not listen at all, especially since they had always treated him as their competition.
"He must have rebounded from whatever he said, not to mention he said he would teach us."
Chen Ran knew it very well, but he did not want to see his experience points fly away.
Hearing Chen Ran's words, Xiao Yunjie retracted his anger and shook his head. "That's fine too. However, I understand every word you said just now, but I just can't do it. What's going on?"
Xiao Yunjie gladly accepted Chen Ran's offer. After all, he did not know how to do it himself and wanted to learn it as soon as possible. He did not want his blanket to be thrown out like that again.
'It's embarrassing.'
Xiao Yunjie quickly put down his pride and began to discuss with Chen Ran. However, Yan Poyue, who was listening from the side, felt that the situation was extremely bad. His expression was extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a live fly. It was as ugly as it could get.
'We're all new recruits. We joined the army on the same day. Why is Chen Ran like an instructor who must take care of me?
'I don't need to learn from him. Besides, this is the army. What's the use of being so clean anyway?"
Naturally, Chen Ran did not care about Yan Poyue's thoughts. As he spoke, he walked over and demonstrated to Xiao Yunjie.
"Look carefully. Folding the blanket requires a lot of wrist strength. Open the blanket and shake it hard. Then…"
Chen Ran relied on his S-rank life skills to explain as he began to fold. He stopped every move and explained.
Those who did not know better would really think that he was a veteran.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In less than a minute, Chen Ran skillfully folded the blanket into the shape of a block of dried tofu. If not for the fact that he had to stop to explain, veterans would definitely not be as fast as him and not as neat as him.
"And done."
Chen Ran pointed at the folded blanket.
"Right? It's very easy for me. Practice makes perfect. Practice makes perfect. Practice yourself. Sooner or later, you'll reach my level."
Upon hearing this, the muscles on Yan Poyue and Xiao Yunjie's faces visibly tensed.
"That sounds arrogant. Is he praising himself?"
