Three skill points…
Should he use them now or save them for later?
After some consideration, Wang Ye made a decision. He decided to wait a little longer. The skill was still at a low level, requiring less experience to level up. It didn’t seem worth it to use the skill points at this moment. If he really wanted to use them, the best option would be to invest them in regulations.
As a reborn adult, Wang Ye didn’t hate reading, but that didn’t mean he enjoyed memorizing books. It was fine to read through them a few times, but studying them seriously dozens or hundreds of times would make him nauseous.
The main reason was the overwhelming amount of content. Reading it once took a considerable amount of time. It would take nearly an hour to go through it carefully from beginning to end.
Therefore, he decided to utilize his skill points. However, at his current level, he only had six experience points remaining. It would be a waste to use them now. It would be more beneficial to save them and use them when he reached level 2.

“Shh! Each class send two representatives for a business trip.” Suddenly, a whistle sounded from downstairs.
All the members of Class Five turned to Ye Sanshi in confusion.
“Wang Ye, come with me for a moment. The rest of you, continue folding the blankets!”
Ye Sanshi made this decision, looking at everyone.
“Yes, sir!”
Wang Ye actually didn’t know what a “business trip” entailed. During his time, the internet was not as advanced as it would be in the future. Although Wang Ye had done some research before joining the army, this particular topic hadn’t come up.
However, since Ye Sanshi was going as well, it was probably a good thing.
“Don’t chat or make noise. Keep folding your blankets obediently. I’ll be back soon. And if I come back and find that you’re not taking this seriously, be prepared for the consequences!”
Before leaving, Ye Sanshi issued a stern warning.
In reality, if the business trip didn’t require two people, he wouldn’t have taken Wang Ye alone.
It was just that Wang Ye had just taught everyone how to fold their blankets, and they had a strong impression of him. It wouldn’t be appropriate for them to be distracted by anything else.

“Is a business trip a good thing? The class monitor actually brought the vice-class monitor along?”
“A business trip? Does that mean we can leave the camp and have some fun?”
Inside the dormitory, it was impossible for them to remain quiet.
Hearing Wang Ye and Ye Sanshi leaving, someone in the dormitory couldn’t help but mutter.
“I think it’s a good thing. My cousin told me that when the army goes on a business trip, you have to fight to go, especially if it’s your first time.” Zhang Ping’an said softly.
“Uh… Is it really a good thing?” Qin Li was taken aback.
However, Liang Fan smiled and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t trust his cousin!
This is a trap. They’ll give him a whistle and have him blow it at night. If you believe him, you won’t even know what hit you!”
Suddenly, everyone’s expressions changed.
That’s right!
His cousin wasn’t exactly trustworthy.
It was definitely a trap.
“Okay, I know now. It’s not a good thing. I actually saw someone talking about this on the internet when I first came here!” Gu Yingnan said with a smile.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he explained further, “A ‘business trip’ is actually just doing odd jobs.
1 think the class monitor saw that we needed to fold the blankets, so he didn’t let us go. Otherwise, we would’ve been stuck with this task.”
“Class monitor, is this what a ‘business trip’ is all about?” On the other side, Wang Ye held two large cardboard boxes, looking helplessly at Ye Sanshi.
“What do you think? A business trip means doing odd jobs that require manpower.”
Ye Sanshi didn’t keep the vice-class monitor in suspense and revealed the truth.
“Alright then.” Wang Ye nodded, carrying one of the boxes. After Ye Sanshi took the other, the two of them walked back.
Of course, they weren’t the only ones.
Recruits from other squads were also present.
This time, the other squads were all new recruits, while only the fifth squad, led by Ye Sanshi, went on the business trip.
He didn’t have any other intentions.
Their task was simply to move and collect various items.
Before joining the army, each recruit was given only one set of camouflage uniforms. They didn’t have regular uniforms or military coats.
So now, they were collecting them.
There were military coats, winter uniforms, camouflage suits, and fitness suits.
Once they returned to the dormitory, these items would be distributed.
Afterward, the students of Class Five resumed folding their blankets.
Based on their progress, Ye Sanshi could be heard scolding from time to time in the dormitory.
Thankfully, this process didn’t last too long.
At around three o’clock, the assembly whistle sounded downstairs once again.
The entire company was involved in cleaning.
Wang Ye had wondered why there was no training in the morning. But now, it was already past the afternoon nap time, and there hadn’t been any group exercises either.
Finally, he understood.
They were waiting for the cleaning.
Led by the squad leaders, the entire recruit company collected cleaning tools and were assigned different areas to clean.
The entire dormitory building, including the surrounding grounds.
After two hours, Wang Ye was drenched in sweat.
He even had the thought of planting a bomb and blowing up the whole recruit company.
Who would clean up to this extent?
In the past, the dormitory’s cleanliness standards were already high. But now, they had to remove the grass growing in the cracks of the cement stairs near the basketball court. Even the cement pavement had to be washed with water.
The requirements were meticulous and almost obsessive.
It was a true heaven for people with mysophobia.
Of course, this was only from the perspective of a mysophobic person after the cleaning was done.
When actually doing the cleaning, Wang Ye believed that even someone with mysophobia would go crazy.
Even scrubbing the toilet bowl with a steel ball to remove stains would be a challenge for someone with mysophobia.
But Wang Ye and the others had no choice. They were forced to do it.
At five o’clock, the cleaning was finally over, and the recruits gathered again.
“You might think you’ve worked hard today, but in my opinion, it was quite sloppy. However, considering that you’re all new recruits, I won’t ask for too much.”
Wu Jianfeng stood in front of the dormitory building, looking at everyone as he spoke.
His words made many faces grimace.
They had already exerted themselves to the fullest.
They folded blankets, memorized rules, and even cleaned.
And now, physical training was on the agenda?
Pained expressions appeared one after another.
But their expressions couldn’t change anything.
In the end, they had to run three kilometers.
Compared to others, Wang Ye felt somewhat content.
In fact, it wasn’t that the schedule of the recruit company was too tight with no free time. He wanted to go for a run in the morning as well because he was only two points away from leveling up his skill through the three-kilometer run..
