Chapter 477 Extreme Assembly

The 20-minute countdown has begun.

Instructor Chen and Wang Huili stood in front of the control table.

Assembling a rifle isn't difficult; the challenge lies in precisely aligning each component! Even the slightest error can cause the bullet to misfire or even result in aiming errors!

In just 20 minutes, a group of beginners can only remember the general assembly process. To assemble quickly and accurately, they would need at least one to two weeks of training. Hu Huai-ren likely organized this competition to see if there were any highly promising candidates among these university freshmen.

"If the recoil spring is installed backwards, the gun will jam."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Instructor Chen, I forgot again!"

"It's okay, this is normal for beginners."

"Ah, okay... I'm sorry..."

During the learning process, all I heard was Wang Huili constantly apologizing.

"Old Chen, come here for a second." After ten minutes of practice, Instructor Wang from next door suddenly called Instructor Chen away. Instructor Chen turned to Wen Ni and said, "Wen Fuxun, can you keep an eye on things for me?"

"good."

Wen Ni slowly stepped forward.

"Wen Fuxun, I think I really can't do it." Wang Huili's face was flushed with anxiety, and her hands holding the gun components were trembling.

Wen Ni glanced at her indifferently.

He reached out and took the gun components.

She then glanced coldly at the few mischievous boys who were secretly mocking Wang Huili.

"Follow my instructions, and you won't go wrong."

The rifle components moved deftly in Wen Ni's hands, her hoarse voice steady and orderly, each step of the assembly precise and corresponding!

"The receiver guide rail releases the gun, and the recoil spring guide rod follows."

"The barrel is screwed into the receiver, and the locking bolt clicks and rattles."

"Insert the stock into the breech hole and tighten the screw until it is secure."

"Make sure the handguard latch is pressed firmly, and insert the magazine into the bottom of the slot."

In just one minute, the firearm was perfectly assembled!

Wang Huili was dumbfounded.

The surrounding freshmen students were also dumbfounded!

This Wen Fuxun can even assemble a gun, and she does it so fast! Isn't she their sophomore? Isn't she studying finance? How does she know all this?

"Holy crap? How can she be so skilled at assembling firearms when she's just a cook?!" Instructor Wang from next door was so shocked he cursed.

"The cookhouse?" Instructor Chen asked, puzzled and greatly shocked.

“Yes, I asked around among my classmates, and it seems this Wen Ni came from a logistics unit of the army.” Instructor Wang nodded and said, “But now I seriously doubt that the information is correct!”

“I don’t think so either. After these few days of contact with her, the military skills she has demonstrated are definitely not something an ordinary logistics unit could have.” After a brief moment of shock, Instructor Chen frowned, then suddenly thought of something and turned to Instructor Wang. “You called me over here for so long just to talk about this?”

"Ah, yes."

"It's a competition, don't you know? 20 minutes, every second is precious."

"I was just thinking of bothering you a little, you know? I can't be the only one at the bottom!" Instructor Wang chuckled, then sighed a bit awkwardly, "I just didn't expect your assistant to be so versatile?"

"Get out of here."

Instructor Chen cursed and punched Instructor Wang in the chest.

"It's too late for me to leave now." Instructor Wang chuckled and pointed forward. "One minute left, it's over."

"Aren't you being sarcastic?"

Enraged, Instructor Chen threw down a sentence and strode back to Wang Huili's side.

"How's the training going?"

"Instructor Chen, Wen Fuxun just taught me a mnemonic and a faster way to assemble!" Wang Huili's eyes lit up. "I'll try my best!"

A faster assembly method?

Instructor Chen glanced suspiciously at Wen Ni's calm face.

"Your 20 minutes are up. Please send representatives from each department to the stage in order!"

Go for it, Wang Huili!

"come on."

Watching Wang Huili go on stage.

Wen Ni coughed twice, clenching her fist to her lips, then turned and walked alone to the shade of a tree.

I just unscrewed the mineral water bottle, ready to take a sip.

A hand holding a box of cold medicine was offered to her.

"I just asked another classmate to buy it for me."

"Thank you, Instructor Chen."

Wen Ni didn't hesitate. She took the cold medicine, tore open a packet, poured it directly into her mouth, then unscrewed the cap, tilted her head back, and gulped down a mouthful of water to wash it down!

Instructor Chen was amused by the smooth operation.

"Why are you acting like those silly boys in the army? You don't behave like a girl at all."

"What does Instructor Chen think a girl should be like?"

Instructor Chen was taken aback by Wen Ni's question and blurted out, "I'm not saying you're gentle and frail, but at least you shouldn't be taking medicine like this... boldly."

“My thoughts are completely different from Instructor Chen’s.” Wen Ni screwed on the bottle cap, her voice cool and clear. “I believe that regardless of gender, no one should be defined or arbitrarily labeled.”

"Indeed, it was my limitation!"

Instructor Chen was quite frank; he agreed with what she said.

Or rather, his perception had been undergoing a radical change since the day he met her!

"Instructor Chen, Chief Instructor Hu wants you to come up to the podium!"

"Hmm? Coming right away!"

Although Instructor Chen was a little puzzled, he still told Wen Ni to drink more water before turning around and heading straight for the podium!

When he walked onto the podium

Besides the freshmen participating in the assembly competition, several other instructors were also on stage. Wang Huili stood in the very center, facing the imposing Colonel Hu Huai-ren, looking both flustered and nervous!

"Report! Sir! I am Chen Rong, the instructor in charge of the finance major!"

"You are her instructor."

With his hands behind his back, Hu Huai-ren's sharp gaze swept towards Instructor Chen Rong like a machine gun!

The expression on his face, coupled with the serious atmosphere around him, made Chen Rong's heart pound. His expression was serious yet tinged with doubt. "Yes, sir! Is there something wrong with my student's performance? Or is her assembly simply unsatisfactory? In any case, it's my fault for not teaching her well, I..."

"You're so quick to admit your mistake before I've even said anything?" Hu Huai-ren's expression softened slightly as he pointed at Chen Rong, even with a hint of a smile.

The people around him also had inscrutable expressions.

This made Instructor Chen Rong even more confused. "You mean me...right?"

"Hmph, not only are you right, I should also praise you!" Hu Huai-ren couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You were able to teach a student who had never handled firearms before to assemble them precisely in 20 minutes. Don't you think I should praise you?"

"Precision assembly?" Instructor Chen was initially stunned, then looked at Wang Huili with delight. "You did it?"

"I guess so?" Wang Huili was also quite confused.

"For a novice trying to assemble an automatic rifle for the first time, this is already very good." Hu Huai-ren praised her repeatedly, without holding back his praise. "Although some small parts were not assembled, compared to others, the completion rate is already very high, and she only took six minutes! You know, our new recruits, after several days of training, can only assemble an automatic rifle in two minutes at most!"

"That's really impressive."

"This child has a natural talent, that's one thing, but the key is that you, as the instructor, teach well and have effective methods!" Hu Huai-ren praised him highly. "Tell us, how do you teach him?"
