Synopsis

He even spent an entire night playing games when he had to take the college entrance examination the next day. Not knowing what to do, his father decided to send Wang Ye to the army as a soldier to cure his addiction.   Two years later... When he had a video call with his son, he was ready to ask when he would be discharged from the army and come back to inherit the family business.   Wang Ye, dressed in an officer's uniform, directly shocked his father with his answer.   "Dad, I'm ready to work in the army all the way to become a general. About the family business, how about you and mom give birth to another son to inherit it?"   ...

Chapter 1Reborn Internet-Addicted Teenager, System Activation Failed!

"Hey you walking by! Aren't you a handsome one?"

In a daze, Wang Ye heard a familiar female voice that sounded seductive.

"Uh-huh..."

Before he opened his eyes, Wang Ye's first reaction was that he was a little dizzy.

He opened his eyes, and the first thing Wang Ye felt was that he was dreaming or hallucinating.

Because the first thing he saw was an old computer screen in front of him.

The screen lit up, and on it was a game interface.

A figure holding a huge sword stood there.

The familiar figure, the familiar background music, and the somewhat familiar words just now made Wang Ye have an intense flashback to a female NPC in the game he had not touched for years.

DNF, nicknamed Kelly from the toxic milk powder.

Wang Ye was still wondering if he was dreaming when the door opened with a bang.

"Bastard, what time is it now? It's five in the morning. What did I say to you before?"

"Dad?"

Wang Ye looked at the man who had barged in in astonishment.

It felt somewhat similar, but it was very different from what he remembered.

He was much younger and fairer, and he had wealth that he had never seen before in his memory.

However, his shock only lasted for a moment.

"Dad, what are you doing?" In the next second, Wang Ye's pupils constricted. He let out a loud roar, and his body hurriedly got up, wanting to run.

However, the room was only so big, and he was still sitting on the computer chair. He had just gotten up and had yet to run away when a kick came flying over.

Wang Ye was kicked to the bed on the side, and he was confused. In his memory, his father hadn't hit him since primary school.

But this…

Wang Ye was confused, but Wang Jianjun wasn't. He had already pulled out the seven wolves whip in his hand.

"Pa!"

"Bastard, you can die in front of the computer. I'll beat you to death, you bastard. If you die, I'll burn a room full of computers for you to play with!"

The seven wolves whip lashed out, and Wang Ye felt his left arm go numb before he felt his thigh get kicked.

Fortunately, another woman's voice was heard, along with the sound of hurried footsteps.

"What are you doing? Old Wang, are you crazy? You just came back from a business trip, and you're already hitting your son? What do you hope to accomplish?"

Wang Ye's mother, Xu Xiaofeng, rushed in and threw her arms around Wang Jianjun to restrain him.

"What am I doing? A loving mother spoils her son. Look at your son. What time is it now? The moment I came back, I saw that the room light was on. I knew that he was still playing games.

"Other people's children have all made it to university, but he's the one who played all night before the college entrance examination. And then what did he do? He fell asleep during the examination in the examination hall!

"Let me tell you, I don't want this bastard anymore. I'll kill him!"

The man in the room was like a furious lion.

At this moment, Wang Ye, who was lying on the bed, was holding his head with both hands.

At first, it was an instinctual reaction to protect himself. But now, he really had a headache.

When he took the first hit, a large amount of memories rushed into his mind.

"Enough, enough, you're really going to beat him to death! You just have to teach him well. Just discipline him well."

"Discipline him? No. I give up. Isn't the army recruiting now, you bastard child?

"I'll bring him to register tomorrow.

"This bastard, I want to send him to the army."

"If he doesn't quit his internet addiction, he can just die in the army!"

After Wang Jianjun said this, he threw away his belt, turned around, and stomped out of the door angrily.

Xu Xiaofeng looked at Wang Ye, and a trace of heartache flashed across her eyes, "Son, don't blame your father. His business negotiations probably failed. I'll go and persuade him again!"

Wang Ye's mother also left the room.

Before leaving, she even closed the door with the broken lock.

As for Wang Ye, he didn't care about them at all. He didn't even care about the pain in his body.

"Is this really me?"

"Transmigration?"

"Reborn?"

Looking at the ceiling, Wang Ye's eyes were a little confused.

In the newly fused memories, there was almost no difference in his childhood memories.

However, in the 1990s, his father suddenly went into business in this life. He gave up his job as a teacher and started doing business.

In 2009, although his net worth had not exceeded 100 million, he was definitely worth 10 million.

This was actually completely different from Wang Ye's own situation.

In his memory, his father had always been a teacher, and his mother had always worked in a factory. They were a standard working-class family.

He actually made it into university, and after he'd graduated, he was a successful member of society.

At the very least, he was already over thirty and could drive a BMW. Every year, when he returned home, the matchmakers would bash through his front door just to try and matchmake him.

However, he did not expect that after the drinking session last night, he would end up in a situation like this after waking up.

It hurts!

There must have been traces of his father's whip on his arm.

"This bastard, you could've let yourself get hit first before sucking me into your reality!" Touching his burning arm, Wang Ye cursed in his heart.

In this life, through his memories, he felt that he was a bastard.

Just because his family was busy with business, he was lax in discipline, and after high school, he had completely fallen.

He went out to surf the internet every day.

In his previous life, he also went online at this point in life, but he was not as crazy as this. He wouldn't even have dared to stay up all night before the college entrance examination.

"Sigh, it's only because I don't have any pressure in this life. I know that even if I can't get into university, I can still live a good life by relying on my parents. That's why I'm such a degenerate!"

Sighing, Wang Ye felt a little helpless.

"Detected that the host is awake. System activating…"

"Hmm?" The electronic voice that suddenly appeared in his mind surprised Wang Ye, but then he was delighted.

System! there really was something that a transmigrator needed!

However…

"Detected that the host has not obtained military status. System activation failed…"

"Hmm?"

Question marks almost appeared on Wang Ye's forehead.

There were even systems that failed to activate?

Military status?

That's right, before he fused his memories, he heard his father say that he was going to take him to enlist in the army tomorrow.

Join the army?

Wang Ye's mind was instantly filled with thoughts.

Ten seconds later, Wang Ye suddenly smiled.

"That's good. We've already experienced the life of an ordinary person. We've suffered, struggled, and enjoyed ourselves. There's no point in living it again."

"Being a soldier…That's pretty good!"

As a good man, who didn't want to hold a steel spear in their hands and protect their country?

Who didn't want to gallop on the battlefield and lead the army to intimidate one side?

He regretted being a soldier for two years, but he regretted not being a soldier for a lifetime.

For someone like him who had never joined the army, there was no cause to regret. However, there was always the feeling of "what if."

Now, since his father wanted to send him off, the system also requested him to join the army, and he also had some inclination to, then he would go!

To make up for choosing otherwise, to live a life that was completely different from his previous life, to change a landscape, to feel the passion and responsibility of the military camp!

It’s pretty interesting. While the other reviews are correct in that the story is very slow paced, literally a detailing of what is happening each day, I find the slowness and buildup to be very meaningful. Since this is most likely just realism with a cheat, him manifesting magical improvements would just seem ridiculous and out if place. Especially in the military, where hard work and discipline to achieve recognition is what’s needed rather than directly the results. I really like the character interactions, it’s pretty dynamic and relatable. For the most part, the nationalism isn’t really that bad, as it’s mostly been about uplifting themselves higher. Even if it’s about China, patriotism is still inspiring when the content is uplifting, motivational and not downgrading and belittling of other countries. While you could consider the mention of a great grandfather having been captured by the japanese back then to be a pointed thing, Japan back then was seriously not the good guys. Imperial Japan did some messed up things, which traumatized other countries. Obviously, things have improved, but the oldies that experienced some of it still hold resentment. Anyways, the big black mark against this is the strange translation. Everything’s still comprehensible, just that phrases and terms are not the ones that ate meant to be used in the specific context. Especially ‘Duplication Duvet,’ I don’t really know myself on what it actually means even till now. While this novel is already chosen, I hope everyone takes the chance to read through the chapters and appreciate it with the lense that it’s a slow burn rather than the junk food style ’numbers go brrrr’ power trip novel. Though, I’ll probably make another review and remove this one if the progression of the story turned for the worse and became generic power trip without meaningful effort done by the MC.
