When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 9 Are you targeting me?
"What did you say?"

Du Hu raised an eyebrow. "You, Xu Ge, want to be a troublemaker, huh? You've only been in the army for one day and you're already making demands of me?"

"Making demands is one thing, but you also want to be the deputy squad leader? Do you even know what a deputy squad leader does? What qualifications do you have?"

Xu Ge knew the other party wouldn't agree, so he explained in a low voice, "Squad leader, I just want to experience it for two days. Kaiyoumu is the deputy squad leader now, so at worst he'll be the first deputy and I'll be the second deputy..."

Du Hu was so angry he laughed: "What do you think the army is, you greenhorn? First mate, second mate?"

"So that's why you kept pestering me to teach you commands when you were in the Armed Forces Department. Turns out you're a power-hungry guy!"

Luo Shan was both amused and exasperated. He waved his hand and looked at Du Hu, "Never mind, let him have his fun for a couple of days."

Seeing that the platoon leader had spoken, Du Hu nodded and said, "Alright, if you can convince Li Dongshui, I'll make you... uh, the second mate you mentioned!"

The new recruits haven't all arrived yet, and Du Hu and Luo Shan think Xu Ge's request is just child's play. They don't mind playing with them for a couple of days.

Once things are on track, these new recruits will naturally understand what the military unit is.

"Yes! I'll go talk to Li Dongshui right away!" Xu Ge said excitedly as he pushed open the door to the dormitory after Du Hu agreed.

Inside the dormitory, the self-introduction session had ended, and several new recruits were surrounding Kaiyumu, asking him all sorts of questions.

"Squad leader, are we considered a special forces unit?"

"Squad leader, how many people are in the old company?"

"Vice-squad leader, the squad leader said you're a great fighter. Can you beat Tyson?"

Kaiyu rolled his eyes: "Is your head in a ditch? If I could beat Tyson, would I be a soldier?"

"Kaiyoumu, you're not allowed to swear!"

After Luo Shan entered, he scolded the student and then said, "Du Hu and I are leaving for a while. You keep a close eye on things in the classroom!"

“I still need to go and collect their personal belongings!” Kaiyuki stood up.

Luo Shan then looked at Xu Ge: "Xu Ge, you'll be in charge of watching over everyone and making sure they don't wander off!"

"Yes, platoon leader!" Xu Ge replied excitedly, his voice louder than anyone else's.

Isn't the opportunity here?

The reason he made this request to squad leader Du Hu was that he wanted a legitimate reason to give orders to the new recruits.

. . .

. . .

After Kaiyu left, only seven new recruits remained in the class, including Xu Ge himself.

For a moment, no one knew what to do. Some sat on stools and chatted, while others packed their belongings on the beds.

"Your name is Zhou Meng, right? Come here, let me see if your military posture is up to standard." Xu Ge gestured for Zhou Meng to stand up.

This guy looked honest and simple, so Xu Ge decided to start with him.

Zhou Meng stood up from the stool, somewhat bewildered: "What do you think?"

"Listen to the commands! At ease! Attention!"

Zhou Meng immediately stood still and obediently.

Xu Ge looked at the token in front of him but did not react.

What's going on? The other side clearly followed my orders! Why wasn't there any notification?
"Hmm, the military posture is so-so."

Xu Ge commented calmly, intending to try others, "Next Qi Ruibiao, come here too."

“You’re a new recruit who just arrived today, just like us. What gives you the right to give us orders?” Li Dongshui, who had been intimidated by Xu Ge earlier, spoke up, looking indignant.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other recruits all looked at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge said with a serious face, "I'm your deputy class monitor now, of course I can give you orders!" Li Dongshui retorted, "You're talking nonsense, the deputy class monitor is clearly Kaiyoumu!"

“Kaiyoumu is the first mate, and I am the second mate. The platoon leader just appointed me outside. Otherwise, why would he have me watch over you?” Xu Ge said confidently.

The new recruits had indeed heard Luo Shan instruct Xu Ke to keep an eye on everyone before he left, and they did not refute what Xu Ge said. Li Dongshui remained silent.

"Qi Ruibiao, stand at attention!"

Qi Ruibiao stood at attention in front of Xu Ge with a snap, grinning, and said, "Second mate, how's my military posture? Isn't it more standard than Zhou Meng's?"

The token still didn't react.

Next, Xu Ge issued orders to each new recruit under the pretext of checking their military posture, except for Li Dongshui, whose token showed a new change.

[Military orders are executed 100%, designated skill value +1]

At the same time, two new data boxes appeared on the left edge of the back of the token.

[Specified skill value: 1]

[General Skill Value: 0]

I tried adding 1 point of the specified skill value to the throwing skill, and the skill slot immediately reacted.

Throwing: Beginner (2/5)

As more relevant memories accumulated in his mind, Xu Ge finally understood that not everyone could extract new skills, especially the new recruits in his class, who were normal for not to know anything.

The military command system will not provide feedback to those who carry out their own orders.

As for someone like Li Dongshui, who has been selected once, he can only select him again after upgrading his throwing skill to the highest level. Before that, even if the other party keeps following his orders, he can only upgrade the existing skills.

As for designated skill points and general skill points, they are easy to understand. The former can only be used to upgrade designated skills. For example, the military orders that Li Dongshui executes can only be used to upgrade the throwing skill.

The latter can upgrade any skill on the back of the token!
General skill points are clearly a powerful tool for leveling up, but Xu Ge is still unclear on how to obtain them.

"Come on, one more time, stand at attention!"

"Take a break!"

"Good job, Li Dongshui! This time is better than before. Your military posture is the best so far. Let's do it again, attention!"

Since that's the case, Xu Ge plans to fleece Li Dongshui as much as possible first.

At first, Li Dongshui was cooperative with Xu Ge's praise, but gradually she became unhappy.

"Xu Ge, are you targeting me?!"

After Xu Ge gave the order to stand at attention again, Li Dongshui plopped down on the stool.

"No."

Xu Ge casually remarked, glancing at the token. His throwing skill had been upgraded to intermediate level. Not only had he gained a lot of insights into throwing, but his muscle memory had also been adjusted considerably.

Throwing: Intermediate (1/10)

"What do you mean, 'no'? I feel like you're just messing with me! Everyone else only has to stand at attention once, so why do you keep standing at attention endlessly when it comes to me?"

Li Dongshui's brows were furrowed and her chest was rising and falling slightly as she spoke, "I'm almost dizzy from all this, I feel like throwing up!"

Although the recruit camp was located in a valley, its altitude was over 2000 meters. After the ordeal, Li Dongshui was clearly experiencing slight oxygen deficiency.

"I just couldn't help but admire your perfect military posture a few more times!"

Xu Ge then remembered what Du Hu and Luo Shan had told him, and moved a stool to sit next to Li Dongshui.

"Ah Shui, I have a question for you. If that third platoon leader Li Zhi comes looking for you and asks you to go to the third platoon, will you go?"
