If Xie Jingchen on the other end knew that the letter he had sent hadn’t reached his dear wife in half a month, he would probably be frantic with worry.

In fact, the second day after returning to the military, he had sent a letter home to signal his safety. He had estimated that it would take at most one week, or ten days at the latest, to reach his family.

Little did he expect that after half a month, the letter was still being suppressed somewhere.

Xie Jingchen was unaware that just sending a letter home could stir up such a turmoil. If he knew, he would definitely punch the troublemaker causing this to fly!

In the military, Xie Jingchen would rise early at a little past five every day and remain busy until nine in the evening. The training schedule after his return was extremely tight. As the Camp Commander, although he need not take to the field to lead the cadets personally, he always held himself to a strict standard and often led training exercises himself.

Due to him leading by example, the soldiers of his unit, whether ordinary troops or military officers on assignment, all possessed remarkable physical capabilities and formed the most powerful unit within the X Battle Division’s Land Battle Group.

However, he had a hidden illness the previous year. Despite being able to lead the team, after training, his body would suffer damage, and in more severe cases, he might need to rest for a few days to recuperate.

Yet, upon his return to the military this time, he led the routine training early in the morning on the second day. After the entire process, not only did his hidden illness not act up, but he also didn’t feel the slightest bit of fatigue—merely breaking a thin layer of sweat!

At that moment, Xie Jingchen’s heart was far from calm, but his face remained stoic. He gradually increased the intensity of the training, and by mid-morning, not to mention the ordinary soldiers, even the six lead and deputy Commanders Rong following him were exhausted to the point of collapse, yet still clenched their teeth and managed not to falter.

As for the troops below, without any regard for image, as soon as they completed the tasks, they all collapsed in the muddy water. Their bodies and faces covered in sticky mud, they all panted like bulls.

"Attention, all troops, stand at attention!"

Xie Jingchen showed no sympathy or pity for his subordinates—seeing them fall to the ground in a barely alive state, he immediately gave the order. Watching them all obediently straighten up, he was finally satisfied and declared, "After standing in position for twenty minutes, you’re dismissed."

To tell the truth, had it been the same amount of training half a month ago, he certainly knew his body would have felt fatigued and his reaction wouldn’t be much different from those of the Commanders Rong. If his hidden condition flared up, he would be in pain for three to five days.

However, after this half-morning of exercises, other than a faint heat in the region of his hidden illness, he felt light as a swallow, his entire spirit underwent a transformative change!

It was then that he truly understood what his dear wife had given him—something ’good’ that he was not allowed to share with anyone else, the exceptional and precious superpower energy it was.

Especially the three transparent plastic bottles she had prepared for him; he hadn’t discovered anything like it in the country!

He originally thought that his dear wife might have had some secret resource to acquire uncommon goods that others couldn’t get, especially since when he saw the packaging bottles on the train, he just thought that the ’bottle’ was somewhat special.

But now with the changes in his body, it was clear that his wife’s energy was not simply a matter of looks.

After realizing the truth, on the first morning of training afterwards, Xie Jingchen would always follow Da Rong’s subordinates, and every time after getting up and rinsing his mouth, he would drink a mouthful of ’Energy Water’ before immediately going downstairs to lead the training.

In the past half month, his physical fitness and combat power have significantly increased, and even his strength has noticeably risen. Now, with his full power, his heavy hit can reach over 500 jin!

You should know that his normal strength was 360 jin, and even with an all-out strike, it wouldn’t surpass 520 jin. After this recent half-month of training, he has stabilized his normal strength at 510 jin, and the highest record of his explosive force is 598 jin!

With the increase in strength, his endurance becomes stronger by the day. With added strength, his speed has improved by just over one second!

In the past, when he sparred with his subordinates and the commanders, he could at most take on two people at a time, any more would lead to insufficient stamina and a lack of reserve energy.

Now, after fighting three people, he still retains 40 to 50 percent of his strength. If he pushes himself, he could fight another round. But given the attention he has drawn lately, he decided it was better to keep a low profile [afterthought].

Thanks to the Level 6 Superpower Water provided by Zhang Shan Ni, Xie Jingchen would break through limits every day after pushing himself to the extreme, accumulating bit by bit, truly astonishing the entire camp.

By the time Xie Jingchen reached his position, he was on good terms with many military officers in his own group, who were mostly aware of his hidden waist injury. Seeing him training like a madman recently lifted everyone’s spirits and greatly motivated the soldiers to be diligent and ambitious.

After all, sincere dedication and focus are needed for oneself to achieve greater progress.

In no time at all, the atmosphere in the Land Battle Group was better than ever before.

Just as Zhang Shan Ni was concerned about him, Xie Jingchen also longed for his wife back in his hometown at this moment, especially when wearing the fitted clothes she made especially for him or consuming the provisions she brought, making his yearning for his wife even stronger.

However, it has been half a month since the letters were sent out, why hasn’t he received a reply from his wife?

Due to the heavy anxiety in his heart, Xie Jingchen would often ’visit’ his superiors, especially focusing on Mr. Zheng and Chief Tao, his immediate commanders, all in hopes of getting a more spacious allocated house.

The military has recently built a new district for their personnel, with a high of six floors, which counts as a residential area with better greenery. It is close to the border, making access to the Rong District more convenient, and most importantly, it is near their Land Battle Group—which means he can get there in just over ten minutes.

Such a fine marriage housing complex was definitely something he wanted to strive for. But with his current career rank, the chances of getting one were only fifty percent, and even if he did get allocated one, the floor wouldn’t be very high. Thus, he could only visit the camp commanders and chiefs more frequently.

Because he is married, and Zhang Shan Ni’s records are well-established with revolutionary martyrs in her lineage, it can be said that her background is excellent, which made the political screening process very easy to pass.

Now he just waits for the distribution of the house, and Zhang Shan Ni will be able to follow the military.

After his marriage report was submitted for review, it would take about two or three months for the marriage housing to be allocated.

That day, as usual, he went to report to Mr. Zheng after work, but was informed that an order from higher up had come in—the military personnel were to be fully equipped and ready to depart for a wartime campaign immediately...

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingchen was momentarily stunned, and then promptly composed himself with a solemn nod.

In the past half month, his inflated confidence from the boost in physical ability was like a balloon pricked by a needle—it deflated immediately.

At the same time, he put aside his urgent longing for his wife’s imminent arrival and calmly sought advice about the upcoming military campaign, discussing intensively with his superior until late into the night...
