The body mass index of a normal person is generally around 18-23.
Recruits in military training, on the other hand, generally have a BMI of around 17-18, which is on the weaker side.
After all, they spent three years in high school focused on academics, with little extracurricular physical activity. This is a common phenomenon among recent high school graduates.
Not to mention this group of elite students who were admitted to Kyoto University.
Through the feedback from the Life Simulator, Gao Fei's physique had already been strengthened to 24, far surpassing all other freshmen.
However, even with a BMI of 24, after just one morning of training, he was already finding it unbearable.
If it were just running or similar activities, it would have been a piece of cake for him.
But the hellish torment inflicted by the squad leader would have worn down even an iron man.
Therefore, to complete the freshmen's training as quickly as possible, Gao Fei had no choice but to activate the Life Simulator again.
[Please host select a military branch!]
[New Recruit, Artilleryman, Infantryman, Rocket Soldier, Scout, Special Forces....]
It's quite user-friendly, actually offering a choice of military branches!
Gao Fei looked at the various branches listed above and asked, "How are the simulation points calculated for these branches?"
[Notice: The profession of a soldier is sacred, and its cost is higher than that of ordinary professions.]
[However, since the host has just entered the stage of moderate prosperity, the system has already provided a discount.]
[New Recruit: Ten thousand yuan for ten simulation points!]
[Artilleryman, Infantryman, Scout.... Ten thousand Dragon Country currency for ten simulation points!]
[Special Forces, Special Branches.... As the host has not yet officially become a soldier, simulation is temporarily unavailable!]
Looking at the simulation point consumption listed by the system, Gao Fei couldn't help but sweat.
If there were no system discounts, a new recruit would need at least one hundred thousand Dragon Country currency to purchase simulation points.
Other branches would start from a million.
"I choose, New Recruit!"
[Profession Selected: Soldier]
[Military Branch: New Recruit]
[Notice: Since the host has chosen New Recruit, the duration will be three months, and simulation points will be calculated and consumed weekly.]
[Initiating Life Simulator]
[In the eighteenth year, after graduating from high school, you resolutely chose to enlist in the army.]
[Week 1: You underwent training in uniforms, posture, saluting, and drills. Your performance was mediocre, and you received extra attention from the squad leader. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 2: You are still undergoing drill training. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 3: Still drill training. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 4: After a month of drill training, you have begun to resemble a soldier. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 5: Physical training, including a five-kilometer cross-country run, 100-meter sprints, 400-meter obstacles, push-ups, pull-ups, and more. The extensive training content made you extremely tired, but you endured. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 6: Still physical training. Your performance remains unremarkable, but your physical fitness and stamina are steadily improving. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 7: You are still undergoing physical training. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 8: New training content has appeared: tactical training, including low crawl, high crawl, side crawl, and forward rolls at a standstill and while moving. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 9: In addition to tactical training, shooting training has been added, with both types of training conducted simultaneously. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 10: The same two training sessions from the previous week continue. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 11: Training intensity increased, with all training content conducted concurrently. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 12: The new recruit assessment officially begins. You passed the assessment with mediocre performance, but due to the detection of a hemangioma during your medical examination, your new recruit life comes to an end! (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Simulation ended, commencing feedback for three months of new recruit training!]
As the system's prompt sounded, various new recruit training contents appeared in Gao Fei's mind, and they continued to be consolidated.
[Feedback complete: Physique +1, New Recruit Training Skill (Novice) obtained!]
The so-called novice level meant that Gao Fei received feedback on all new recruit training content, but it was broad rather than specialized.
[This simulation consumed 120 simulation points, deducting 120,000 Dragon Country currency!]
"120,000 is gone, and you only give me Novice? You dog system, you're a rip-off!"
Gao Fei grumbled inwardly, feeling a pang of regret.
But there was no help for it; military professions were special, and the simulation points purchased started at ten thousand.
[The host can simulate again to upgrade the level. Do you wish to simulate?]
The system's indifferent reply indicated that to upgrade, more money would need to be spent on simulation.
After a moment of thought, Gao Fei chose to simulate again.
Since he was already at the novice level, he might as well push for advanced in one go.
Today, the song "Desk Mate" was officially released on all platforms, and the proceeds were bound to be considerable. A mere hundred thousand was just pocket change.
[Simulator initiated, commencing simulation!]
[In the eighteenth year, you graduate from high school and resolutely choose to enlist in the army to serve the country and bring honor to your ancestors!]
[Week 1: Drill training. With prior experience, your performance this time attracts the attention of the squad leader. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 4: Your excellent performance earns praise from the squad leader, and you are immediately promoted to deputy squad leader of the new recruit class. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 5: Physical training. Due to your increased physique and having undergone new recruit training once before, your outstanding performance once again makes you the brightest star among the new recruits. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 7: You shine during physical training, earning the respect of all the new recruits. Even the squad leader believes you have prior military experience. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 11: You excel again in tactical and shooting training. This time, even the new recruit company commander looks upon you with newfound respect. Due to your outstanding training, you become the strongest individual soldier among the new recruits, and before even being assigned to a company, you attract recruitment offers from other elite companies. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Week 12: New recruit assessment. You break the new recruit record for the entire military region with your excellent results, becoming a sought-after sharp soldier by all companies. However, during the new recruit medical examination, you are diagnosed with mandatory spinal inflammation, and your new recruit life comes to an end. (Consumed ten simulation points)]
[Simulation ended, commencing feedback!]
[Notice: Based on the host's implied request, the system has prepared the journey of a new recruit becoming a sharp soldier for you in advance.]
[This simulation consumed 120 simulation points, deducting 240,000 Dragon Country currency!]
Gao Fei, who was squatting in the restroom, was stunned.
After all, it was just a three-month training simulation for a new recruit. He had only intended to upgrade his new recruit skill to intermediate.
Who would have thought that this damned system, without any prior notice, would directly prepare a simulation script for him to become a sharp soldier?
The consumed funds doubled directly, reaching 240,000 Dragon Country currency.
This is too much of a rip-off!
Feedback begins, and the new recruit training skill is refined.
Simultaneously, the system's feedback also generated muscle memory for Gao Fei.
With the muscle memory of becoming a sharp soldier, the subsequent new recruit training would be effortless in his eyes.
[Feedback complete.]
[Host's Physique +3, New Recruit Skill is now maxed out, no rating!]
[Due to the host's first consumption exceeding 100,000, the system has provided an additional special reward.]
[New Skill: Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon!]
Upon seeing the new reward, Gao Fei was dumbfounded.
The Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon was a military boxing technique renowned for its ferocity in his previous life.
Due to its excessive lethality, it could not only be used to kill enemies on the battlefield but also injure comrades during regular training.
Therefore, all troops in his previous life later banned the Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon.
However, subsequent military boxing techniques were adapted and evolved from the Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon.
The skill reward was distributed.
The moves of the Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon appeared in Gao Fei's mind, and they were also ingrained as muscle memory.
The character panel data refreshed.
[Name: Gao Fei]
[Intelligence: 101 (Slightly above average)]
[Physique: 27 (Extraordinary)]
[Skills: Sanda (Intermediate), Barbecue (Master), Music Arrangement (Advanced), New Recruit Training, Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon]
[Wealth: 590,000 Yuan]
The Eighteen Hands of the Black Dragon did not have a rating; the system's reward was maximum.
Furthermore, after deducting the 360,000 yuan spent on simulation points, Gao Fei's current savings had been nearly halved.
However, he was now more eager to see how much revenue "Desk Mate" would generate after its full online release.
Closing the panel, Gao Fei hummed a tune as he walked out of the restroom.
Now that his new recruit skill was maxed out, the next three months would be another good opportunity for him to show off.
The thought of being able to show off again brought a smile to his face.
"Tremble, comrades, your Great Demon King Fei Ge is back!"
Just as Gao Fei swaggered into the barracks dormitory, he heard Li Dong shouting loudly, "You can't even learn to fold a blanket this simple? Is your IQ all left at home, huh?
When I was a new recruit, I could fold a blanket like a perfect square in three tries.
Look at how you fold them, worse than tofu dregs!"
Everyone stood by their beds, receiving a scolding, not daring to utter a word.
Li Dong tugged at his collar, squatted down, and continued to yell, "Watch carefully, I'll only teach you one last time!"
As he spoke, he began to fold the blanket, his movements slow and deliberate. Soon, a perfectly folded square blanket appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Did you remember the steps?"
"Yes!"
"Go back and practice. I give you three days to fold the blanket to look like what I demonstrated!"
With that, everyone dispersed and returned to their beds to diligently fold their blankets.
Gao Fei, after the feedback from the Life Simulator, returned to his bed and began to operate.
In just one attempt, a perfectly neat square blanket was quickly folded.
"It's worthy of the feedback obtained by spending 360,000 yuan. This muscle memory has completely mastered the new recruit training skills."
He nodded inwardly and raised his hand, shouting, "Reporting to the squad leader, I've finished folding my blanket!"
Li Dong, who was instructing on folding blankets, was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Gao Fei, who was standing not far away.
Could this kid be kidding him?
He learned it after just one look?
Li Dong's face was full of suspicion.
But when he saw the perfectly folded square blanket on Gao Fei's bed, he was utterly astonished.
It had taken him a full four days to learn how to fold a blanket like that when he was a new recruit.
And now, a freshman who had just undergone training and only seen the operation once had quickly completed the task he assigned. It was simply unimaginable.
Even Li Shuishui and the others nearby were amazed at the perfectly folded blanket on the bed.
Li Dong suppressed the shock on his face, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Not bad. As expected of Dragon Country's top liberal arts student, your learning ability is indeed strong.
You learned it after one look, comparable to my own experience as a new recruit. Not bad, not bad!"
After the squad leader's few words of praise, he turned to the others who were still dazed on the spot and frowned, shouting, "Do you think you're all like Gao Fei, learning it in one go?
Stop daydreaming and hurry up and learn to fold your blankets."
As his voice fell, everyone quickly intensified their efforts to learn.
Although Gao Fei was the top liberal arts student in Dragon Country, as an elite student admitted to Kyoto University, everyone had their own pride.
Now that Gao Fei had learned to fold a blanket into a square in one go, everyone began to compete in secret, unwilling to be outdone by him.
The unspoken competition among the freshmen officially began at this moment.
