Chen Ping’an never imagined that rescuing a child from drowning would make him transmigrate into the world of I Am a Special Forces Soldier. Even more unexpectedly, the System he awakened wasn’t a golden finger, but “Redemption Vouchers.” To change Zhuang Yan’s descent into darkness after his girlfriend dies of illness, pull Lei Zhan back from his obsession after losing a comrade, and help He Chenguang escape the delusion of the “lone hero,” he has to risk his life every time.
Late one night during recruit training, he talks with Zhuang Yan about the wheat fields back home and stops him from writing a farewell letter. While lying low in the rainforest, he gives Lei Zhan the last of his water and says, “The team matters more than going solo.” At a sniper position, he takes a shot meant for He Chenguang and tells him, “Your gun should fire for your teammates.” The System’s rewards aren’t superpowers, but first-aid kits that can save comrades, tactical manuals that teach teamwork, and counter-reconnaissance skills that help him read the enemy. Every one of them is a precious bargaining chip for staying alive.
Later, they head to Africa together to fight the Black Sun. They wade through waist-deep rivers in the rainforest and endure three feverish days in the desert. They join the female soldiers of Fire Phoenix to rescue hostages, and watch Ye Cunxin use a woman’s keen attention to detail to take out the enemy sentries. Later still, he becomes an instructor. Watching Zhuang Yan, Lei Zhan, and He Chenguang pass the spirit of Langya on to the next generation, he finally understands: the point of transmigrating was never to change the world, but to give those who might otherwise have been left with regrets a lifetime of brothers, loved ones, and a place to call home.
This is a passionate epic of special forces, and a gentle redemption story about a transmigrator. He uses the System to rewrite fate, while they make a legend out of their bond as comrades.
