Qi Hui frowned slightly; unlike in movies and TV shows, the sound of gunfire was actually very loud—extremely loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It exploded in the ears like muffled thunder. If you weren't careful the first time, you would get tinnitus and feel dizzy, left stunned and standing in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the thick, pungent smell of gun oil, some people might even feel nauseous and vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui was fine; he had done live-fire target practice during his high school and university military training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, he had a full 10 rounds of shooting experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he became the first person in his squad to finish shooting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" In the distance, the Instructor saw the most handsome guy in the crowd and couldn't help but be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up his binoculars to look at the target paper, and was even more shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"41 rings... not bad, not bad. This is a good soldier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a new recruit's first time at the range, there isn't actually a requirement for how many rings to hit; as long as three rounds hit the target, it counts as passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui's performance was extremely excellent, and he was the most handsome guy in the crowd, not just in terms of shooting, but in the physical sense as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which squad is he from?\" the Instructor asked. \"Bring his file over for me to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clerk didn't dare to delay; he flipped through the files in the vehicle and pulled out a document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Instructor glanced at it and immediately looked surprised. His drill and physical training scores were both above average, and the black-faced Master Yan mostly had positive things to say about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's a good soldier... what a pity!\" the Instructor sighed. It was a pity he was here to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were a real soldier, he would definitely have to be groomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evening, in the dormitory, after returning from the range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Qi, have you practiced this before?\" Ren Kenuo looked at Qi Hui and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During target practice today, the Squad Leader had praised Qi Hui heavily; needless to say, his comrades were instantly envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui glanced at him and nodded in admission: \"That's right, I have indeed shot before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, he had also gotten to know the new recruits in the squad. This Ren Kenuo was the actor who would be playing Ostrich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting a few times, Qi Hui learned that he was a classmate of Zheng Yitong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one from *The Temptation to Go Home*, the eldest sister Baolian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stand up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a shout came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the dormitory looked solemn and immediately stood at attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the door, a group of people filed in; it was the Instructor bringing new recruits from another squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the new recruits, but their Squad Leader as well, carrying small stools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui also saw Old Ling in the crowd; he happened to be in this squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and exchanged greetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, everyone come over and sit down,\" the Instructor said with a chuckle, not looking strict at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone had uniformly placed their stools and sat down according to the command, he smiled and said, \"I came over today just to relax a bit and hold a democratic life meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's all chat, tell our own stories, perform some talents, and relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui pursed his lips. The military's care was good, but there was too much of it, which actually made him feel uncomfortable and he didn't like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the side, the black-faced Master Yan's expression stiffened, then he loosened his muscles and joints, preparing to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid Qi Hui was a bit unruly; he had to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this period of time, he had seen enough; without using force, he simply couldn't suppress this kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, that comrade,\" the Instructor said, pointing at Qi Hui. \"You shot the best today, you go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to chat or perform a talent?\" the Instructor asked with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Qi Hui's background; an actor shouldn't have stage fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui was speechless. The Squad Leader said the same thing last time; why does everyone like to ask me to perform talents?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm an actor, not a singer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't exactly put on an acting demonstration right here, can I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing the gaze and enthusiasm of so many people, Qi Hui felt embarrassed to refuse and could only walk out slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... fellow comrades, then I'll sing a song for you all,\" Qi Hui rolled his eyes and said with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately cleared his throat, stood up slowly, and scanned all the new recruits around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap, clap, clap...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the new recruits began to applaud, looking expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the military was simple and honest; whoever was capable was impressive. Moreover, Qi Hui was not only good at training, but his appearance was also extremely outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handsome and sunny, he made people feel favorably inclined toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one wasn't harboring dark thoughts, no one would find him unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, Qi Hui's own squadmates didn't look expectant; their expressions were a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before I enlisted, I learned quite a few military songs. I dedicate this to all my comrades!\" Qi Hui said loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A song called *Green Flower in the Army*, please enjoy it, comrades!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Instructor's expression stiffened. What... what is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Green Flower in the Army*?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cold winds drift, leaves fall, the army is a green flower...\" Qi Hui sang with deep affection and emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\" the Instructor shouted hurriedly: \"Don't sing anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This song couldn't be listened to; once you hear it, something bad is going to happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear comrade, you don't...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, shut your mouth!\" the black-faced Master Yan roared, lunging forward with a leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Instructor was faster than him, directly using a back-choke hold and following up with a leg trip to take Qi Hui down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sequence of movements was smooth and flowing, fast as lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the new recruits, even the veterans hadn't seen it clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, isn't the Instructor political staff? Why is he so fierce... Several squad leaders broke out in a cold sweat; luckily they hadn't done anything to the Instructor before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they would have been \"promoted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promoted to be \"dealt with\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The host has come into contact with Company Instructor You Wei. You have gained two lottery chances.
