The Future Determined by a Single Coin

Looking out the window at the busy streets, Lin Ye rested his chin on one hand and tapped the table with his fingers, feeling extremely uneasy. In a week, he would return to school to continue his studies, but what he had encountered half a month ago made him realize that his life had changed.

From now on, his decisions would relate not only to his own future but also to the future of the country and the nation.

He had aspired to join the military since he was a child. At the same time, he applied to a military academy after the high school entrance exams and was successfully admitted, his future would go according to plan. After graduating from the military academy, he would start at a low level in the military, then achieve success and remain in the military for life, or do something else professionally.

However, half a month ago, when Lin Ye woke up in the middle of the night, he discovered he had something extra. He closed his eyes and, in his mind, it was a space-time teleportation machine very similar to the one in the game Red Alert.

Through this mysterious existence, Lin Ye found that he could go anywhere on earth.

He had used it hundreds of times within half a month and had not encountered any problems or residual symptoms.

Initially, he went to Japan and used the Japanese he had self-taught in high school to walk around Akihabara. He looked around and listened, using his phone to confirm his location, and returned at night. After that, Lin Ye visited every other country that came to mind.

After feeling very happy, Lin Ye realized that his ability was extremely terrifying. For instance, if a war were to break out, he could directly take a nuclear bomb to the enemy country's capital and create an unstoppable nuclear explosion. Such a nuclear attack would be impossible to prevent. It could be said that as long as his ability did not disappear, he would be a strategic-level humanoid weapon.

Lin Ye did not mind being described as a weapon. However, three days ago, he discovered that this space-time teleportation machine had another function, not just teleportation.

On the other side of the door was a new world, a world completely different from Earth. It was precisely for this reason that Lin Ye was so entangled.

As a soldier, the education he received all along was to be loyal to the country and the people. Currently, he had the ability to go to a new world. Then, the land, population, and resources of the world would be crucial for the development of a country. With such a world, the country he loved would develop rapidly and stand at the pinnacle of the world in no time.

Lin Ye firmly believed that even without him, this country would become one of the strongest in the world, but the amount of energy expended at that time would be incalculable.

With this opportunity, this time frame would be greatly shortened. Of course, this was just Lin Ye's own idea. If he chose to explain all this, then this future might become a reality, and the possibility was very high. Nevertheless, based on his own experience, Lin Ye did not think the country would adopt the method of killing the chicken to get the eggs, dissecting and slicing him. Besides, was this really necessary? If this were the case, with his teleportation and time-traveling ability, it would be easy to escape.

His military skills were not as good as special forces, but far better than ordinary soldiers. When the time came, there would be no problem in changing his life and living in another country; besides Mandarin, he had no trouble speaking Japanese and English.

But what if he planned to do it on his own!

Although his current capital was not much, by leveraging the gap between the two worlds, he could indeed obtain things that others could not get in a lifetime and might build his own power. However, it was too complicated to truly build a power centered on himself that would not betray him.

He had no means to control others. The human heart is the most complex thing. If he was not careful, he would fall into hell.

And even if he had studied strategic command and talent management, Lin Ye highly doubted he could truly build and control such a power with his abilities and knowledge.

Lin Ye never doubted his own learning ability; otherwise, he would not have been able to learn Japanese in a month in high school. As for other sciences, as long as he wanted to learn them, he might not be able to reach the top level, but he would become outstanding.

However, by doing this, could this country become a better place?

Lin Ye could not help but sigh.

Whatever happens today, he must make a decision, whether to go alone or report it to the authorities. Although he had a tendency, his resolve was not enough.

The heavy responsibility on his shoulders made Lin Ye a little breathless. At this moment, he felt a tightness in his chest. If possible, Lin Ye did not want to bear such responsibility alone.

But there was no way back to the life he used to live. Ignoring the space-time teleportation machine he now possessed was not only irresponsible to himself but also irresponsible to the country.

Moreover, looking at the phone number displayed on the phone leaning against his seat, Lin Ye sighed.

It was the phone number of his counselor Zhang Lihua. If he decided to report it, Lin Ye would contact his principal, a recently retired lieutenant general from the country, through his counselor.

Zhang Lihua had made great achievements during the war. If such people were not loyal to the country, Lin Ye felt it was a good choice to do it on his own. However, the information learned from the Internet and school all proved that General Zhang Dezhen was a great and honest soldier, worthy of the green military uniform he wore.

So, what was his choice?

Taking a deep breath, he touched his pocket and took out a coin. Lin Ye prepared everything and relied on the will of heaven alone. But whatever the result, he would fight all his life to change this country, and this would never change.

The coin in his hand was spun and thrown high into the sky under the influence of his thumb. As the inertia disappeared, the coin fell to the ground under the influence of gravity.

Thump.

The coin bounced a few times on the ground. The coin spun a few times on the ground and then fell. The side with the capital landmark building and five stars faced Lin Ye.

Lin Ye shook his head and laughed, then his hesitant eyes immediately became firm. He accepted the result and already knew what he would do next.

And to be honest, he already knew the result when the coin was thrown.
