My Military Career in a Parallel World

"Brother Chen, you don't know how hard it is to stand guard!"

As he spoke, Chu Fei rolled up his sleeves and let Jiang Chen see his arms.

"Mmmm, other things are fine, but I really can't stand the mosquitoes in the south! I was almost bitten to death overnight...

Brother Chen, let me tell you, just before you came, I killed a mosquito that was half the size of my fist. Oh my god, I almost peed myself. If I had been bitten by this, I would have lost half my life!"

Chu Fei kept talking to him about his experiences while on guard duty, which made Jiang Chen feel a headache.

"Okay, stop talking and go back to sleep. If you're not sleepy yet, I don't mind letting you stand guard with me for another shift!"

It’s not Jiang Chen’s fault for being ruthless, it’s just that Chu Fei talks too much.

Although, after Jiang Chen's reminder, he was very careful about the volume when speaking, but it was late at night and the slightest noise could be heard from far away.

While Chu Fei was chattering away nonsense, Jiang Chen noticed a sudden flash of light above his head. It must be that the patrol team upstairs heard the noise and were looking at them with the flashlight.

In order to avoid trouble and for his own good, Jiang Chen had no choice but to swallow his pride and use his authority as deputy monitor to start chasing people away.

As soon as Jiang Chen's tone changed, Chu Fei immediately calmed down and quickly handed the Type 81 rifle without bullets to Jiang Chen.

"Deputy class leader, well, I'm going back first."

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded, and pointed upstairs calmly before leaving. Chu Fei looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a team of patrol soldiers passing by the entrance of the corridor, and the squad leader of the team glanced at them from time to time.

Chu Fei reacted and quickly gave him a grateful look. He took off his watch and returned it to Jiang Chen, then trotted away.

Watching Chu Fei's figure disappear into the darkness, Jiang Chen straightened his body and stood up to start his duty.

Time is a very wonderful thing. When we are having fun, it always feels like it is not enough. No matter how much time we have, it is never enough to squander. It seems like a long time, but in the blink of an eye it is time to go back to work.

But once I start working, time seems to be moving at a snail's pace. I feel like I have been busy for most of the day, but when I look at the time... Damn, only a few minutes have passed!

This is how Jiang Chen feels now.

The normal two-hour guard duty has been reduced by half, but it still feels like an age.

However, in the middle of the night, the only sounds around him were the faint snoring coming from the dormitory building and the chirping of various insects. Jiang Chen couldn't find anything to distract himself.

Soldiers watch soldiers during the day and watch the stars at night. It’s so damn true!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but think in his heart.

When a person is in a quiet environment and can't do anything, he will inevitably think too much. This is the case with Jiang Chen now. In just a few minutes, he has even thought about his life after being transferred to another company.

What is the life of a scout like? What are the exercises like? Will I be sent to carry out a decapitation operation during the exercises like in the TV series?

What is it like to be an officer? If you become a platoon leader, how should you manage your soldiers?

Jiang Chen thought a lot, even thinking about his life when he was old.

Fortunately, the one-hour guard duty passed quickly. After completing the handover, Jiang Chen was not in the mood to chat. He was in a hurry to go back and continue practicing his 400-meter obstacle course.

……

Although the three-day National Day holiday has not yet ended, Jiang Chen and others are still training hard on the 400-meter obstacle course.

There are only three days left before the appointment with the company commander, so they must hurry up and train.

Of the eight recruits who signed up for the bet, except Jiang Chen, the other seven no longer had their previous confidence and arrogance on their faces.

Looking at the 400-meter obstacle course in front of them, they were somewhat discouraged.

There was no way. Four days later, the best recruit among the seven had only just broken through the passing threshold of two minutes and thirty seconds.

They still had a full thirty seconds left before the agreed two minutes.

If we follow the algorithms of some logical geniuses, since they were able to improve their results from around three minutes to two minutes and thirty seconds in four days, it shouldn't be difficult to break two minutes if they work hard.

But that's not how it works.

It is not difficult to pass the exam from zero to 60 points. Most people can do it with a little effort. But to pass the exam from 60 to 100 points, that is not a question of whether you work hard or not.

Just like many sports, when you first start training, the results are improved by a few seconds or even more than ten seconds. But when you reach a certain bottleneck, let alone a few seconds, even an improvement of a few tenths of a second or even a few tenths of a second will require athletes to pay ten or a hundred times the price.

In three days, from two minutes and thirty seconds to less than two minutes, the difficulty is no less than a student who has just passed the exam turning around and saying to the teacher, I want to get 100 points in the final exam tomorrow.

……

Bursting out the last bit of his strength, Li Qiang sped up and crossed the finish line. He supported his knees with his hands and gasped for breath, looking at Li Gang beside him, waiting for him to report the final result.

Li Gang looked down at the timer: "This is a good run, 2 minutes 28 seconds 31, two seconds faster than before."

"Huff, huff, huff..." Although his grades had improved, Li Qiang's face did not show much happiness.

Is there really a difference between two minutes and twenty-eight seconds and two minutes and thirty seconds?

At least not in his opinion.

Li Qiang looked up at Jiang Chen, who had just finished warming up and was about to go on stage, his eyes full of complexity.

When he first came to the army, he was undoubtedly the most physically fit soldier in the fifth squad, and there were only a few people in the entire recruit company who could compete with him.

When Jiang Chen became the deputy monitor because of housework, he was still very confident that the position of deputy monitor would be his sooner or later.

As long as he waits for a month, wouldn’t it be easy for him to replace Jiang Chen with his physical fitness?

Can……

Thinking of this, Li Qiang couldn't help but want to complain.

What kind of pervert is this guy in front of me?

They tolerated it if he was good at studying, but how come he was so abnormal in physical fitness? !

In just two months, Jiang Chen's improvement speed is so fast that it cannot be described as rapid.

It's like this guy has rocket thrusters on his body. He changes almost every day, every minute and every second, getting stronger all the time.

Li Qiang didn't even know when Jiang Chen surpassed him.

How can ordinary people bear such a huge gap!

This is just because Jiang Chen is lucky. None of his classmates are particularly jealous. Otherwise, something bad would have happened.

Jiang Chen had no idea how many times he had run the 400-meter hurdles in his dreams. With so much time accumulated, he was no longer the same person he used to be.

Jiang Chen has already memorized the basic movements taught by Li Gang.

Although I can't do whatever I want as Li Gang, it should be no problem as I can get proficient at it.
