Chapter 231: Floating Away, the Ever‑Expanding Aunt Kang

Call out the name, come up and take the test paper.

Li Jiang, forty‑two points.

Cheng Jun, sixty‑nine points.

In the afternoon, the computer classroom gradually filled with people.

Just before the military theory class began, He Zhen Tao asked Lu Yang to come up and hand out the test papers that had been graded during the day.

The reason for using this name‑calling, score‑announcing method is to add a sense of urgency, allowing everyone to compare each other directly.

Zhou Kaidong.

Lu Yang called out Zhou Kaidong's name.

He quickly stood up and, looking a bit nervous, walked to the front.

Lu Yang smiled at him and then said loudly, "Sixty points."

Huh……

Zhou Kaidong finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least he passed.

After all, he's a Squad Leader; if he can't even pass a basic assessment, how could he lead troops?

He also smiled at Lu Yang, then took his test paper, walked back to his seat and sat down, feeling pleased.

After that, Lu Yang called out another twenty‑or‑thirty names, and without exception they all failed.

Liu Ziqiang.

Liu Ziqiang cleared his throat and, trembling with fear, stepped forward.

Lu Yang handed him the test paper and said, "Thirty‑one."

Liu Ziqiang wore a grimace; he had thought he could get forty points before.

The test paper was filled completely, especially the short‑answer section at the back, with not even enough blank space to write, so he received zero points.

Sun Chen and Chen Panpan came up one after another to take their test papers, both hovering around twenty‑ or thirty‑point scores.

Seeing that his turn hadn't come yet, Zhang Jiaheng couldn't help feeling worried and anxious.

That sense of urgency wasn't his heart beating like a drum, thumping nonstop.

These past days, his training has been a crawl and roll; even though he's exhausted like a dog, he's still the worst in the Whole Company.

Now he can only pin his hope on the written test, hoping to claw back about ten percent.

He doesn't need to pass; just getting around forty points and landing in the middle tier would be enough.

Zhang Jiaheng.

Present.

Because he was so nervous, he even stood up and shouted "Present."

Realizing he didn't need to shout, he quickly blushed and went to the front to take the test paper.

Lu Yang handed him the test paper and said, "Twelve points; you're the lowest in the Whole Company."

Zhang Jiaheng's face turned ashen, and his hanging heart finally cooled completely.

How could it be only twelve points?

How did it become the lowest in the Whole Company?

Back at his seat, he stared blankly at the test paper full of red crosses, feeling utterly despondent.

At the front, Kang Changyi craned his neck back, saw the red crosses on his paper, and immediately wore a very disdainful expression.

The reason is simple: he may be at the bottom in training, but his academic scores are truly outstanding.

Kang Changyi, eighty‑nine points, the highest in the Whole Company.

Lu Yang handed the test paper to him, watching his swaggering walk and return, and couldn't help but laugh.

The Instructor couldn't help rolling his eyes, finally giving the kid a chance to swagger.

Back at his seat, Kang Changyi grew restless, constantly craning his neck to look at others' test papers.

He even deliberately made the papers rustle loudly, afraid anyone wouldn't know he got the top score.

And his irritable look truly made the others' teeth itch.

Everyone in the Whole Company knows that this unscrupulous plan was proposed by Kang Changyi, and the test paper was also his.

Even though Lu Yang might have been involved in the process, everyone only blames Kang Changyi, because he's always that annoying.

He Zhen Tao said, "All the test papers have been handed out; everyone, take a good look and see how weak your theoretical knowledge is. In the army, it's not just the body you fight with, but also culture."

"If you want to stay in the unit, become a Squad Leader, become a backbone, you must pass the cultural test."

"This time it's a baseline exam, so I won't say much more."

"In a moment, I will go through the test paper once; everyone make good notes and listen carefully."

He Zhen Tao casually took Lu Yang's test paper as a template.

Lu Yang scored eighty‑three points, several points fewer than Kang Changyi.

This is because some questions on the test were proper military‑academy material, knowledge he had never encountered before.

He will next supplement his study of the textbook knowledge, laying a foundation for future military‑academy training.

So, one test doesn't matter; a lower score is just a lower score, and he'll retake it higher later.

"Alright, next we'll discuss the third multiple‑choice question; the third asks which type of tank has a rearview mirror."

"The answer is D, choose D. The first three are old‑model tanks, none have rearview mirrors."

"Remember, only main battle tanks fielded in recent years have rearview mirrors."

He Zhen Tao spoke up front while the people below listened attentively.

Lu Yang didn't make a mistake, but he was also taking careful notes.

But somehow someone fell ill again, spinning their pen while muttering underneath like they were having a fit.

Hey, come on~ you got this question wrong, this is a free point!

It's so simple, you didn't even get the points, right?

Kang Changyi!

He Zhen Tao was really annoyed: "What are you muttering down there? Why don't you come up and speak?"

Kang Changyi shrugged sheepishly: "No problem, no problem, I thought everyone got the points, but I didn't expect only I got it right—it's really outrageous, I just don't get it."

He Zhen Tao: "……"

Lu Yang: "……"

The other soldiers around: "Rage meter +100!"

He Zhen Tao gave a forced smile: "If you got it right, you got it right—shut your mouth, stop showing off! Okay, let's move on to the next question..."

You, a military academy student, getting it right is normal; getting it wrong is what's not supposed to happen!

He Zhen Tao continued lecturing, and when he reached the first short-answer question, he emphasized it.

"This question, I remember I went over something similar last month; maybe you weren't paying attention then."

"In my view, this question shouldn't be wrong at all, especially for veterans who've been in the unit for four or five years."

"Even if it's not in the textbook, you've experienced it many times on the training field—this is just a failure to combine theory and practice, making flexible application impossible."

"For this question, and the ones earlier that I had you mark with a star, all the wrong ones—copy both the question and answer five times, and hand them in before lunch tomorrow."

Upon hearing that, everyone's face fell.

The morning exam on the weekend was bad enough, but we still have to attend a military theory class in the afternoon.

Now they also have to copy it five times, making them feel like they'd rather die.

Especially thinking that they'll have to go through this every weekend from now on—it's worse than killing them!

But just then, Kang Changyi started showing off again without a hint of embarrassment, his expression turning into the same as Jielun's: "Oh hey, not bad, pretty cool!"

"Kang Changyi!"

He Zhen Tao couldn't take it anymore, he directly told them to stand up: "What are you muttering over there again? Did you have a dead mouse in your mouth?"

Kang Changyi looked left and right, then asked in a tone he considered sincere: "Instructor, I want to ask: you said earlier those questions, I got them all right—should I also have to copy them?"

He Zhen Tao laughed in anger: "Are you deaf, or did I not explain clearly? Those who got it wrong copy five times; those who got it right don't have to copy!"

"Oh, okay then—I thought everyone had to copy. Ah, no chance given, really, it's tough!"

Kang Changyi sat down with an affected shrug, his little eyes darting left and right.

But he didn't notice that his series of smug actions had already provoked public outrage.

Feeling the anger constantly building in the electronic classroom, and the glares that wished they could stab Kang Changyi.

Lu Yang felt inwardly, Kang Changyi is indeed a highly qualified scapegoat.

He just dug a pit, and this guy eagerly jumped in with a shovel, making the pit deeper and deeper.

To make something collapse, you must first let it swell; Kang Changyi is right on the verge of swelling.

If this continues, within three days Lu Yang estimates he will surely encounter a bloody disaster...
