Chapter 25: Talking in his sleep again?
"Let's go! What are you standing there for?"

Seeing that Xu Ge was standing there without speaking or moving, Kaiyoumu assumed that he had lost face because of the blue-haired youth, so he pulled him and turned to leave.

"Let's go, Lao Wang!"

"Take care, gentlemen. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. And remember to help me spread the word! I'll give you a discount next time!"

"necessary!"

Xu Ge followed Kaiyoumu toward the dormitory without saying a word, but his heart was in turmoil.

Master level!
It's a skill with a master-level ceiling!
According to the military command system, the highest level is Master-level, which is above Special Grade!
The fifth skill slot on the back of the token is now lit up.

Rapid Fire: Beginner (1/5).

In an instant, a flood of unfamiliar memories rushed into my mind: drawing the gun, cocking it, switching weapons, firing in bursts, firing in rapid bursts, adjusting the sling...

Moreover, he vaguely felt that he had gained some understanding of shooting, even though he had never touched a gun.

Xu Ge's index finger twitched involuntarily a few times. He had never encountered these new memories before, and his mind was in a state of confusion for a moment.

He knew he needed time to process this.

But at this moment, he still had one major question he wanted to figure out: the identity of the blue-haired youth!

Xu Ge, who scored over 620 points on the college entrance exam, is certainly intelligent, and he naturally knows what it means to possess master-level rapid-fire skills.

The blue-haired youth's identity is not simple.

What the other party said before was very likely true: his old unit was terrifying and frightening!

Master-level rapid fire was just randomly selected by Xu Ge. Having this skill also means that the opponent is definitely not only good at rapid fire, but also strong in related aspects, such as marksmanship, physical fitness, and reaction speed.

What kind of military unit could train such soldiers?
"What are you thinking about? You seem preoccupied?" Kaiyoumu reached out and took a bag of snacks from Xu Ge's hand to help him carry the weight.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking that the blue-haired guy was actually a retired soldier." Xu Ge snapped out of his reverie.

"His salute was pretty standard, but he looked like a thug."

Kaiyoumu nodded. "Old Wang is a reliable guy, he wouldn't hire some young punk as a helper."

"Deputy squad leader, I have a question for you."

Xu Ge considered for a moment, then continued, "If someone in the military has a very strong skill in a certain area, even reaching the top level, would the military allow them to retire?"

Kaiyoumu replied without hesitation, "Of course not, isn't our platoon leader a perfect example?"

"Under what circumstances would someone be discharged from the military?"

"Unless he himself doesn't want to stay anymore, he's the kind of person who can't be pulled back even by ten camels."

Kaiyu patted himself on the shoulder. "Like me, if I hadn't missed the sergeant training last year to participate in the selection for the Sirius Commando, the company commander and political instructor wouldn't have let me leave."

"Vice squad leader, what are your special skills?"

"I averaged around 80 points in each subject, but I didn't have any particular strengths, otherwise I would have been in the Eighth Company!"

As they walked and talked, Xu Ge finally understood how demanding the selection criteria were for the Eighth Company, also known as the Sirius Commando. They required members to be outstanding in all aspects and also to have a particular specialty.

"Is it easy to stay in the Eighth Company after joining?" Xu Ge asked again.

Kaiyumu: "Definitely! The courses they learn are far too much for two years of military service. They need at least five years or more, and they're all veterans!"

Xu Ge asked this question because he suspected that the blue-haired youth came from a unit like the Sirius Commando.

But according to Kaiyumu, it doesn't seem quite right.

With master-level skills, he should be highly sought after even in the Heavenly Wolf Clan, so why would he come here to be Old Wang's driver in the Northwest?

After thinking about it for a while without any results, Xu Ge stopped thinking about it and became excited again about acquiring the rapid-fire skill.

We need to upgrade the rapid fire skill as soon as possible, as this is the first proper military skill we've acquired so far.

I don't know if I'll ever run into the blue-haired guy again, so I'll definitely need to improve my general skill points.

Looking at the token, Xu Ge had 2 points of general skill value remaining. Since he was going to focus on rapid fire next, he added it without hesitation.

Rapid Fire: Beginner (3/5)

. . .

. . .

Large, tender chunks of mutton skewered on tamarisk branches, even the juices are infused with the unique aroma of tamarisk wood—it's so delicious you wouldn't want to stop eating it even if you were slapped. Judging by Xu Ge's intermediate-level cooking skills, the skewers sent by Old Wang from Northwest China are simply superb!

After giving each person two skewers, Du Hu and Kaiyoumu took the remaining skewers and fried noodles to the rooftop, where Luo Shan and the other two class leaders were already waiting.

A chirping sound came from the darkness.

Xu Ge turned his head and saw Zhou Meng, who was in the lower bunk opposite him, sucking on a red willow branch and looking in Li Dongshui's direction.

The new recruits devoured their kebabs as soon as they got them, but Li Dongshui sat on the edge of the bed, chewing slowly and occasionally taking a sip of cola and a bite of potato chips.

He hadn't even finished his first skewer yet.

"Can you eat faster? Look how hungry Zhou Meng is!"

Xu Ge nudged Li Dongshui in the back and said irritably, "The class monitor said before he left that if the dorm inspectors catch us, we'll have to deal with it."

Li Dongshui bit off the last piece of meat, got out of bed, and handed another skewer of mutton to Zhou Meng: "Here, I can't eat anymore."

"Dongshui, you're so kind! I'll treat you to something delicious when I get my allowance tomorrow!" Zhou Meng said without any hesitation, taking the money and showing off.

Wow!

A bag of snacks and drinks was thrown onto Xu Ge's bed.

"I can't fit it all in my cabinet. You've worked hard running errands today, so this is a reward for you!" Li Dongshui said casually.

"Young Master Li is so generous!" Xu Ge smiled. Who wouldn't want something given away for free?

Gudong!Gudong!
Xu Ge took out all the drinks from the bag and started drinking them one can after another.

Li Dongshui, who had just gotten into bed: ? ? ?

"What's wrong with you now? Why are you drinking so many beverages? Aren't you afraid of wetting the bed?!"

"Hiccup~ Never mind that, just go to sleep!"

After finishing all the drinks, Xu Ge's stomach was so full that he had to lie down despite the discomfort.

This is the biological alarm clock he set for himself.

Around 2 a.m., Xu Ge was woken up by the urge to urinate. He carefully went out to relieve himself and then lay down again.

Du Hu and Kaiyoumu have returned and are both fast asleep in bed.

The entire dormitory was quiet except for the faint snoring.

"Sorry, brothers!"

After silently saying it to himself, Xu Ge took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, get up!"

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the entire dormitory was instantly awakened.

Du Hu reacted the fastest, sitting up abruptly: "What's wrong? Is it an emergency assembly?"

Everyone else quickly got dressed as well.

From the upper bunk came Kaiyoumu's panicked voice: "The platoon leader didn't mention any field training tonight when he was having midnight snacks!"

"Did anyone hear the whistle?"

"No!"

"I didn't hear it either!"

Xu Ge continued to pretend to be asleep, keeping his eyes closed and motionless.

The next moment, a voice came from beside them: "Squad leader, no whistle was blown, it was Xu Ge who shouted it just now!"

"Hya! Is this guy talking in his sleep again?"

"No, he did it on purpose!"

Li Dongshui continued, "I saw him go out to use the restroom and then come back!"

Xu Ge was shocked: Holy crap! This is bad!
I was wondering why the token wasn't responding; it turns out Li Dongshui wasn't asleep!
