From Soldier to Officer: A Game Addict's Journey

Chapter 13

“Hello, class monitor and comrades. My name is Deng Hai, and I’m from Xiangnan. I’m 176 centimeters tall and weigh 135 kilograms. As for my sexual orientation, I prefer women.” Deng Hai, the impolite recruit who had taken off his shoes first, introduced himself.

Previously, Wang Ye had felt that he was a little out of control, and his self-introduction proved it. When he mentioned his preference for women, the recruits secretly laughed.

However, Ye Sanshi did not join in on the laughter. Instead, he pulled a serious face and said, “I’m not blind, I can tell that you’re a man. You don’t have to mention your hobby unless it’s something special. But if you’re special, I’ll have to consider whether you’re suitable to stay in our class. After all, I have to consider the safety of our buttholes!”

Everyone in the dormitory laughed even louder at the remark. However, Deng Hai did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he laughed and said, “Hehe, class monitor, I guarantee that there’s absolutely no problem with my sexual orientation!”

“Alright, stop laughing. Be serious!” Ye Sanshi shouted with a straight face.

After stopping everyone from laughing, he continued to look around and said, “It’s very late now, so you should introduce yourself properly. If you want to be funny, I can give you a chance to perform in a skit in the future to make everyone laugh. Now, introduce yourselves to me seriously. Tell me what I told you to tell me. Don’t add anything I didn’t ask for!”

After casting a glance at Deng Hai, which made him feel a little uneasy, the class monitor proceeded to ask him, “Tell me about your academic qualifications. Why did you join the army?”

Suddenly, Deng Hai broke into a smile again. It was evident from his expression that he wanted to use his gestures to convey his intentions. However, upon seeing the class monitor’s stern countenance, he reseated himself and replied, “I have a high school graduation certificate. As for why I joined the army, my girlfriend likes soldiers, so I came!”

“Ah, you have a girlfriend?” Ye Sanshi looked at him curiously.

“Yes, sir. We’ve been dating since junior high!” Deng Hai answered proudly, a grin spreading across his face.

“Very well, then. I hope you live up to your girlfriend’s expectations. Since you’re in the army, be a good and real soldier!”

“Yes, sir!” Even though his feet were still soaking in the basin, Deng Hai saluted earnestly.

“Alright, carry on soaking your feet. Next!”

“Hello, class monitor and fellow comrades. My name is Song Yuejin…” The next three introductions were much swifter.

Wang Ye was the sixth to introduce himself.

“Good day, class monitor and fellow comrades. I’m Wang Ye, also from Xiangnan. I’m nineteen years old, 1.78 meters tall, weigh 126 pounds, and have a high school diploma. My hobbies are simple; I enjoy spending time online. I came to the military because I wanted to serve my country.”

Wang Ye refrained from disclosing that he was coerced by his family into quitting his internet addiction, which was the case with the original owner of his body. He reminded himself that he was reborn and that he had willingly come here.

“Very well. Do your best!” The class monitor did not utter any more words after the formalities. He gave a casual remark and immediately called out, “Next!”

Wang Ye did not take offense. He never anticipated that he could accomplish his mission of the system during the self-introduction phase. While he desired to do so, he knew it was unlikely.

He could have announced that his family had a net worth of tens of millions of dollars and that he was addicted to the Internet. His father forced him to join the military, threatening to disinherit him if he didn’t comply.

If Wang Ye revealed this, the class monitor would have regarded him in a different light. And once the news spread to the company commander, Wang Ye’s name would undoubtedly be remembered. It was 2009, and society still revered millionaires.

Without a doubt, ten million was the wealth of a super-rich second-generation scion. Besides, among the new recruits, no one had Wang Ye’s standing. He would have been the sole one if he had announced it so openly.

However, it was impossible for Wang Ye to do so.

Wang Ye knew that he didn’t need to create a character who was a hedonistic son in order to complete the mission. Besides, he had confidence in accomplishing the mission on his own.

The self-introduction ended shortly after. Wang Ye made sure to remember the names of all ten new recruits and gained a preliminary understanding of their personalities through their introductions.

Suddenly, there was a loud cheer from outside, thanking the instructor. Everyone listened intently, but the class monitor, Ye Sanshi, remained calm. “Alright, no need to look. It’s just the instructor bringing in some people to greet us. Other classes will follow suit. Let’s continue soaking our feet. If you don’t want to soak, you can stand up!”

As the class monitor spoke, the recruits quickly lifted their legs and prepared to wipe their feet. However, no one had time to pour water. After washing up, they stood in the dormitory and waited by the bed under the class monitor’s signal.

A couple of moments later, a few officers walked in, led by the first lieutenant who had gone to Wang Ye’s hometown to receive soldiers.

“You’ve already washed your feet! Why didn’t you soak them for a little longer?” The instructor, also the first lieutenant, entered with a smile that he had not shown the day before. He appeared very amiable.

“Hello, instructor!” The new recruits saluted together under Ye Sanshi’s lead.

“Yes,” Kang Hua nodded and returned the greeting. He looked at the recruits standing straight in front of their beds on both sides with a smile. “How are you all doing? Are you getting used to it? Your class monitor has been treating you well, hasn’t he?”

“Hehe, instructor, our class monitor is very kind. He even helped us get hot water to wash our feet just now!” one of the recruits exclaimed.

“Yes, yes! Instructor, our class monitor is amazing!” added another.

At the instructor’s inquiry, all the recruits smiled and spoke up for their squad leader.

“Haha! I’m glad to hear that I haven’t mistreated you”

Kang Hua chuckled. “You are all new comrades. Today is your first night in our army, and you’re likely missing home. So, I’m leaving a phone here for you. Although it’s late, you can still try to contact your family and let them know that you’re safe.”

“Oh, how smart. How very smart!” Wang Ye exclaimed inwardly.

The army was really scheming. No wonder everyone had been treated so well earlier. They were just biding time.

After getting out of the car, they beat the drums and gongs, enthusiastically helped to carry the bags, and even had the class monitor bring water for the recruits to soak their feet in.

How could they tell their families that the army was mistreating them? Oh, how devious indeed.

He gave them a taste of the good army life to put their minds at ease so that they could report the situation to their families. Then, in the future, he would whip them to death. Wang Ye had already imagined the complete plot in his mind.

Of course, regardless of whether the real situation would follow the script in the future, Wang Ye didn’t show any emotion on his face. In reality, he felt powerless and could only lie flat with his legs apart and accept whatever came his way.
