   This new book seems promising so far. It not only has the thrill of a top-tier soldier story but also satirizes the working class in the city in a very realistic and enjoyable way, without being mindless. There are a lot of foreshadowing elements, though. It's definitely worth following, especially for someone like me who works as a security guard and enjoys reading it while on duty.

    This is great! [Heart][Thumbs up] The protagonist, Lin Yu, goes from being a clumsy "troop failure" to growing stronger through grueling training, making viewers' blood boil! On his first day in camp, he was scolded by his platoon leader for "having a brain full of mush," and he was mocked for doing five pull-ups on the horizontal bar, saying he was "worse than the female soldiers." Yet, he tirelessly trained until he collapsed at night with sandbags strapped to his back. During tactical drills, he climbed a cliff using only two backpack straps to take down the command post, only to be scolded by the chief instructor, Xiao Yunlong, for "playing the clever trick"—that instructor was practically a walking iceberg, testing his stress tolerance by blasting a starting pistol next to his ear, his gaze capable of freezing people into ice sculptures! The most heart-wrenching part is the "Hell Week" selection: crawling through mud, terrified by venomous snakes yet forced to keep going; infiltrating at night relying on clues to find tokens; Zhao Hu collapsing from heatstroke; Lin Yu half-carrying, half-dragging his brothers to the finish line, only to be declared "eliminated"... Just when everyone thought it was a bad ending, Xiao Yunlong secretly slipped the number back—a plot twist that everyone applauded! From awkwardly marching in formation to daring to risk their lives, from being called "trash" to earning the respect of the devilish instructors, every chapter is a testament to sweat and blood. Broodmotherhood, tough-guy growth, and extreme challenges are all packed in—199,000 words in this serialized series is simply irresistible! Military enthusiasts are hooked!
