Chapter 19

Liu Xiaotian didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up the next morning, his energy was completely full and his physical condition was at its best.

It seemed that yesterday's combat and shooting assessment had no impact on him whatsoever.

In fact, over the past ten or so days, Liu Xiaotian had already noticed the changes happening to his body.

Although completing the training tasks given by the system left him exhausted each time, a single sleep would restore him to normal.

Moreover, both his muscle strength and physical toughness seemed to noticeably increase after each time he woke up.

Take his first task—parallel bar three practice: the first time he finished it, he was so exhausted he couldn't lift his arms, but the next day he could complete more than ten times the required amount without his face turning red or being out of breath.

Looking at it this way, the so-called assistance system really wasn't just playing with him in this way; the effect was truly there, leaving Liu Xiaotian no choice but to believe it.

Now he no longer resists the tasks issued by the system; in fact, he even looks forward to them.

Looking at it this way… this kid must have truly overcome his inner obstacles and fears! Chi Hao thought this with a sense of relief.

In one, one look `no, one mistaken version%!'

However, his gaze remained firmly "locked" on Liu Xiaotian.

A company tasked with training snipers, if it didn't have the best shooters from the regiment, brigade, division, and even the whole army, what difference would there be between him as the instructor of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company and the instructors of other companies? After breakfast, just as Liu Xiaotian and Cai Xiaoxin were walking toward the assembly point, Gong Jian happened to knock on the regimental commander's office door.

"As the regimental commander, how could I not know how to assign people? Your Fourth Company trains sharpshooters and snipers; I assign all the soldiers with better aptitude to you Fourth Company—not for any other reason, but to make the best use of resources and talent! But this Liu Xiaotian, I cannot decide on my own."

"Then I'll go find the brigade commander and chief of staff!" Gong Jian, seeing that things weren't working out, immediately activated his backup plan.

Right now he could only stay here honestly; why not take this chance to fulfill a dream he'd never had the opportunity to realize? After washing up, Liu Xiaotian, as usual, went to the equipment area downstairs and went through the single and double bar exercises one through four in order.

NND, feeling like a serf who'd finally turned over after being stepped on for so long, it's just great! Right now, the only thing he needs to worry about is Gong Jian trying to undermine him.

Of course, this green has nothing to do with the color on his head or the kind of green that concerns a man's bottom line! Although Liu Xiaotian is a transmigrator and still hopes to return to his original world someday.

Seeing the soldiers arrive, he immediately gave a hand signal, ordering everyone to gear up and board the plane at once.

At least until someone in the Sharpshooter Fourth Company can surpass Liu Xiaotian, Gong Jian shouldn't dare to slap his shoulder and shout "Lao Liu" so blatantly anymore.

Before, Chi Hao always had people lift Liu Xiaotian onto the plane.

While he was training on the equipment, Peng Donghai was looking from the window on the second floor in slippers, his smile impossible to hide.

"There's no need to say anything else; I've already said this won't work, meaning it definitely won't."

Moreover, this has nothing to do with pursuing personal glory; he just wants the flag of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company to remain forever red!

You can't just park that transport helicopter in the middle of the drill field, can you? There are civilian homes near the camp; the noise from takeoff and landing wouldn't just annoy those locals—it would drive them crazy! Arriving at the parachute training ground, Liu Xiaotian spotted the armed helicopter parked on the temporary tarmac from afar.

But he had already made up his mind—no matter what, he wouldn't let them succeed! Peng Donghai's guess was spot on; Gong Jian was indeed scheming against Liu Xiaotian, and he wasn't hiding it at all.

Gong Jian left with a bitter face, while Kang Lei chuckled, stood up, fastened his outer belt, put on his cap, and headed out to observe today's parachute graduation drill—the final jump for all the trainees.

As for why the parachute training field was set ten-odd kilometers away, it's simply because the camp doesn't have that much space. Unexpectedly, Kang Lei not only didn't get angry about it, he laughed and said happily, "Great, great, great—hurry up and go; if either the brigade commander or the chief of staff signs off, I'll call in reinforcements right away!"

Push the door, stand at attention, salute—Gong Jian's movements were absolutely those of a model soldier.

"Reporting to the regimental commander, I have a matter to request guidance!" Gong Jian said solemnly. "You don't need to say it; I can answer you right now—this soldier, you can't take him away!" Kang Lei cut him off bluntly, swallowing Gong Jian's words before he could even speak.

"But regimental commander……" Gong Jian's face flushed with anxiety, just as he was about to explain, Kang Lei grew impatient and waved his hand.

Although everyone knows that he, as company commander, has basically just let Liu Xiaotian fend for himself, paying him no mind at all, after all, this soldier belongs to his Sixth Company—yesterday's evaluation, he could be said to have finally vented his "ill will" completely.

At the same time, Liu Xiaotian and the other soldiers participating in the drill had already boarded the vehicles, heading to the parachute training field ten-odd kilometers away.

Now this is already his warm-up routine after getting up each day; it hardly counts as training.

But that's all just talk—nothing concrete yet.

"Come in!" Kang Lei's voice boomed loudly.

But this time, Liu Xiaotian strode forward, picked up the parachute and breathing gear, put them on without any hesitation, and boarded the plane.

When the soldiers arrived, Chi Hao was already waiting by the plane.

Besides, what young man hasn't dreamed of wearing a green uniform?

Actually, that's normal—once you put on this military uniform, who would want to be a useless soldier?

Without an intercom, whether you're seated in the plane or standing nearby on the ground, your ears and mouth would just be for show.

As the instructor of the Sharpshooter Fourth Company, Gong Jian truly cherished talent when it came to these gifted shooters.

To be honest, the model is a bit outdated; the noise is so loud that even standing within thirty meters of an airplane with its engines running, you can't hear someone shouting face‑to‑face.

Although Liu Xiaotian succeeded in parachuting and landed perfectly last time, who can guarantee that wasn't just a fluke? According to past habit, by now Liu Xiaotian should already have started getting calf cramps, even wanting to turn and run.

After all, his relatives were still there.

In fact, it wasn't just him; Liu Xiaotian himself thought the same.

Before getting out of the car, he was still a little worried, worried that he might chicken out again right before boarding.

Fortunately, he didn't.

Moreover, upon seeing this time the transport helicopter that always made his calves cramp whenever he saw it before, Liu Xiaotian was astonished to discover that a trace of excitement actually welled up in his heart……
