“Is that so?”

“I feel like I’m in a daze listening to you, but I don’t care. I’ll learn from you!” Wan Baojiang was straightforward, wasting no time. He immediately opened the stack of blankets to reveal a stool.

“What’s the point? Once we sleep on it, all the folds will disappear. Folding this thing seems like a mere show. No matter how neatly it’s folded, can I really use it to kill someone on the battlefield?”

A recruit from another squad, who overheard Wang Ye’s conversation, couldn’t help but speak up. His words resonated with the others.

“Sigh, I said the same thing to my class monitor today, but in the end, my class monitor said it was meant to temper us. The focus is not on folding the blanket, but on disciplining ourselves.”

“Damn, using a blanket to discipline ourselves? I can’t fathom who came up with such an idea. If I find out, I’ll definitely beat him until his own mother doesn’t recognize him!”

“Shh! The instructor is approaching!” whispered a recruit by the water room door, suddenly turning around to hush the others.

The water room fell silent immediately.

Wang Ye looked up but remained silent. So what if the instructor came? He must have heard Class 6’s voices just now. Being an instructor was a tough job, similar to firefighters who had to promptly put out fires regardless of the time.

“The instructor has entered Class Six!”

The recruit by the door had become a spy for everyone in the water room, slacking off while folding his blanket but keeping an eye on the situation outside.

“I sense trouble for the guy inside. He’s attracted the instructor’s attention. After this, their class monitor will surely make things difficult for him!”

“Can’t be. He’s already struggling, and now they want to make it harder for him? Aren’t they afraid he’ll quit and go home?”

The recruits from other classes couldn’t hold back their comments in the water room. Even someone from Class Five chimed in.

However, Wang Ye wasn’t concerned with their opinions. He focused on folding his blanket because this was the last chance before leveling up. His experience points for the quilt folding skill had reached level 2 (19/20). After this, it would be time to upgrade his quilt folding skills.

Wang Ye was somewhat excited about reaching level 3, anticipating the possibilities it would bring.

Minutes passed swiftly, and finally, the blanket was neatly folded once again. A familiar sensation washed over him. More detailed experiences related to folding blankets merged into his mind, and a warm current flowed into his hands.

In that fleeting moment, as Wang Ye absorbed these experiences, he looked down at the blanket before him. He realized that even if the blanket wasn’t folded perfectly, he could still mold it into a compact shape.

With a thought, the attribute list appeared.

[Host: Wang Ye]

[Strength: 0.9]

[Speed:1]

[Stamina: 0.9]

[Vision: 0.9]

[Memory: 1.3]

[Reaction: 1.2]

[Storage space: 1 cubic meter]

[Skills: Duplication Duvet Lv3 (max level), Light 3km Cross-country Lvi (7/10), Push-up Lvi (Push-up 6/10), Half-turn Lv2 (4/20), Military Postures Lvi (5/10), 400m Lvi (1/10)] (Later skills omitted due to length)

[Skill Points: 1|

Wang Ye was slightly stunned. The Military Blanket Folding skill was displayed as max level at level 3. He had expected to continue leveling up, but considering the skills and experience he had acquired, it was already impressive.

These were skills and experiences that usually took years to master. If he had already reached this level, it would be impossible for him to fold a blanket incorrectly.

“Beep!”

Suddenly, a bugle sounded, indicating it was six o’clock.

“What are you doing? The reveille is for you to wake up. Keep folding the blanket and bring it with you!” came a reprimanding voice from outside.

Wang Ye and the other recruits from Class 5 recognized the voice as Ye Sanshi’s.

They exchanged glances, and Wang Ye spoke up, “Old Wan, Qin Li, hurry up and fold your blankets. Liang Fan, let’s take the blanket back first.”

Carrying the blanket would surely alter its shape, so he needed to place it on the dormitory bed quickly before fixing it.

“Alright!”

“Got it, Brother Wang. You go ahead!”

They responded, and Wang Ye wasted no time. He carefully picked up his neatly folded blanket, paying attention to the surrounding blankets and people, and headed back to the dormitory.

Ye Sanshi, who was putting on his shoes, spotted Wang Ye and glanced at his left wrist.

“Remember to take off your watch later!”

“Yes, sir!” Wang Ye replied, walking back to his bed with the blanket.

At that moment, Wang Ye felt fortunate that he had chosen the lower bunk earlier. It would be much more challenging to carry the folded blanket to the upper bunk without messing it up.

He gingerly placed the blanket on the bed and adjusted it to its proper position.

Wang Ye could swear that he had never been so cautious in his entire life.

Finally, after stowing away the blanket, he let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he began to mend it.

He had no intention of undoing the folds and starting over. Although he knew his current folding was not perfect, time was limited.

With the skill maxed out, Wang Ye was confident that he could fold the blanket even more precisely. However, he estimated it would take at least half an hour to achieve that level of perfection.

After all, regardless of his skill and experience, he couldn’t change the fact that this was a new blanket. Folding it gradually, bit by bit, would be a slow process.

Now that the wake-up call had sounded, they might have to assemble later, as was the case yesterday.

Ten minutes flew by.

“Shh, shh!”

As expected, the assembly whistle blew on time.

“Look at all of you going down the stairs one by one. You’re like a group of ducks waddling down,” Wu Jianfeng said with a smile in front of the dormitory building.

After teasing them, he smiled and delivered some good news.

However, upon hearing this, the recruits’ first reaction wasn’t joy but nervousness in some cases.

“Fuck. What kind of trick is he playing now?”

Wu Jianfeng had initially left a positive impression on everyone, even raising his glass to toast during their first night. But yesterday, he had turned into a devil in their eyes. Now, his smile and words made them suspicious of his intentions, as if he had ulterior motives.

But that didn’t seem to be the case today.

“Today is the weekend. Technically, it’s only the second day of your training, so I shouldn’t give you a break. But seeing how you are, I can’t bear it,” Wu Jianfeng announced.

Rest?

“Has he finally found his conscience?” one recruit whispered behind Wang Ye.
