n“All! Class monitor, don’t!”

n“Fuck… Fuck!”

nA medley of screams, pleas, and laughter echoed on the training ground.

nAmong them were also cries of pain, desperate begging, and even some unexpected joy.

n“Haha! Stay still, stay still. It’ll be better soon!”

n“Ouch, don’t bite me!”

n…..

n“Haha, alright, alright, buddy. Just endure it, endure it. It’ll be fine later.”

nFor Wang Ye and the others, it was quite entertaining to watch.

nThey didn’t have to endure such pain. They observed the other recruits, especially those from their hometown or acquaintances, with great amusement as their hands and feet were massaged.

n“Wangye, buddy, Old Wang… Let me go, let me go!”

nOne of the recruits, Yan Zhiming from Class Eight, was looking at Wang Ye pleadingly.

nWang Ye smiled and replied, “Don’t worry. Look at those who have already been massaged. Don’t they seem revitalized now? Sometimes, bitter medicine can cure the ailment. Just bear with it, buddy… It’ll be over soon!”

nAs Wang Ye spoke, he tried to stifle his laughter.

nOf course, Yan Zhiming wasn’t in the mood for empathy. He turned his head with a bitter expression. “I didn’t see them looking revitalized. I only saw them lying there as if they had been assaulted by a group of strong men…”

n“Haha!”

nWang Ye couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

nIndeed, he wasn’t wrong.

nThose who had been massaged were now lying on the side, silently gazing at the sky, questioning their life choices.

nWell… mainly because they had struggled and begged for mercy with all their might while being massaged.

nIt was easy to imagine the outcome.

nWan Baojiang’s muscles weren’t sore, yet he was subjected to such intense pressure.

nThese recruits, on the other hand, had sore muscles that twitched with every step they took.

nTouching their hands and feet would make them gasp in pain. Under such circumstances, the sensation of being vigorously massaged by the class monitors was undoubtedly torturous.

n“Alright, what are you waiting for? Hold him down, I’ll take over!”

nAt that moment, the veteran squad leader, who had just finished a session of massaging, approached with a smile.

n“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye replied with a smile.

nYan Zhiming once again looked at Wang Ye, his pleading eyes imploring him, “Old Wang, buddy… Please… Ah!”

n“Haha, why are you saying no? 1 haven’t done anything bad to you!”

nThe veteran squad leader firmly gripped Yan Zhiming’s legs and started pinching from his thighs downwards.

nYan Zhiming’s body immediately arched, and no matter how hard Wang Ye tried, he couldn’t keep him from reacting.

nHowever, this was Yan Zhiming’s greatest struggle.

nEven if he bent his body, it wouldn’t affect him from pressing the “no” button.

nScreams and pleas for mercy filled the air as another recruit entered the scene.

nWang Ye had been happily massaging hands and feet, occasionally helping out whenever he had the chance, learning from the class monitors’ techniques.

nBoth Ye Sanshi and the seventh-class monitor had encouraged everyone to assist. They even used Wan Baojiang as an example for everyone to learn from.

nHowever, they didn’t actually allow everyone to participate.

nTheir final task was to massage hands and feet.

nWell… The other mission was to catch any recruits attempting to escape.

nGiven the recruits’ sore muscles, they wouldn’t stand a chance if they tried to run.

nTheir strength to resist was weak, and the moment they were touched, they cried out in pain.

nToday’s morning exercise came to an end at seven o’clock.

nNaturally, with the passage of time, there would be gains.

nWang Ye and the others who didn’t have sore muscles, except for the unlucky Wan Baojiang, were in high spirits.

nAs for the recruits left with sore muscles, after a few minutes of massage, they genuinely felt relief from the intense discomfort.

nThe results were immediate.

n“You have five minutes to freshen up. You have ten minutes left.”

nUpon returning to the dormitory, Ye Sanshi didn’t deviate from his daily routine due to the extended exercise.

nFreshening up was a necessity, and everyone had to do it. It was just that the time was limited.

nOf course, Gu Yingnan, who loved singing and dancing, was exempt from cleaning up today.

nAfter freshening up and returning, a whistle sounded downstairs.

nAccording to the rotation, it was their duty today.

n“Although the company commander said we wouldn’t have outdoor training this morning, don’t expect to relax completely. Until the regulations and blankets are folded, let me be clear that you won’t have much free time.

nAlright, let’s spend an hour memorizing the rules. I’ll be back for an inspection in an hour.

nIt depends on your performance. If you do well, I’ll grant you some rest time.”

nIn the dormitory of Class Five, the recruits wore solemn expressions.

nHadn’t they been told there wouldn’t be any training outside So, this was what they meant?

nOf course, no one dared to resist or talk back. They understood the reality they were in.

nApart from subjecting themselves to suffering, talking back could potentially bring the whole class down. It wouldn’t lead to any positive outcomes.

nSoon, Ye Sanshi left.

nHe mentioned attending a meeting, but it was unclear whether it was genuine or not.

nAt least, Wang Ye and the others didn’t hear any class monitors passing by outside…

n“Sigh, what’s going on? 1 joined the army because I didn’t want to study, but now they expect me to memorize!”

nQin Li sat on a small bench, holding a copy of the regulations, and helplessly voiced his complaints.

n“Who doesn’t? If I were a better student, I would’ve gone to university and enjoyed flirting with female students by now. I’ve heard university life is great. I’ve always looked forward to it. But alas! I don’t have any hope for university life!”

nGu Yingnan smiled at Qin Li and continued, “Actually, we still have a chance. I know that if we perform well in the army and get recommended, we can apply for the military academy next year. Outside, you can only enter a junior college before entering a military school!”

nQin Li rolled his eyes in response. “Don’t misunderstand me. 1 said university life is great, not that university students have it easy!”

n“Haha!” Laughter filled the dormitory.

nEven Zhang Ping’an, who was usually a little dim-witted, joined in.

nDeng Hai, however, sat silently, engrossed in reading the regulations.

nIn fact, based on his previous personality, he would have actively participated in this conversation. But after last night’s incident, he seemed like a different person.

nClass Five had witnessed the change, but no one spoke about it.

n“Alright, enough. What were we talking about? Be careful, the class monitor might be eavesdropping outside. Let’s start memorizing the regulations. Even if we can’t memorize everything, we have to try. This isn’t English; I believe that everyone who made it into the army has at least completed high school or technical school. Understanding a bit of Chinese shouldn’t be a problem!” Wang Ye stood up and interrupted their chat.

nOnce Ye Sanshi left, these guys started getting rowdy.

nThey didn’t take him, the acting vice class monitor, seriously at all.

nFortunately, Wang Ye was well aware of his current position.

nHaving an official title didn’t automatically garner everyone’s respect. Identity was one thing, credibility was another.

nPresently, Wang Ye hadn’t established enough credibility to command the entire class, so he wasn’t upset by their behavior.

nThere was still a long way to go.

n…..

nAt the moment, if he couldn’t convince them with his authority, he would rely on other means.

nHaving spent so much time in society, Wang Ye had become adept at such tactics.

n
