At eighteen, Lu Feng checks his college entrance exam results and barely makes the cutoff for a vocational college. That very night, his dad hauls him out of bed. “Don’t even think about staying home. Go join the army and make something of yourself!”
So he’s bundled onto a bus bound for the army, still dazed and without even backing up his game saves.
And then things get even more outrageous. As he stands in formation under the sun on the Armed Forces Department training ground, wondering, “Can you slack off in the army?”, a ding suddenly sounds in his head:
[Military Merit Exchange System successfully activated.]
[Complete missions to earn military merit, which can be exchanged for enhanced physical abilities, improved marksmanship, a better memory, and even one exemption from cleaning duty.]
Other recruits: Afraid of getting yelled at, running laps, and holding a horse stance.
Lu Feng: Standing at attention and doing the math
“Would helping the squad leader carry a box earn me merit? Does getting up five minutes early to bring water to the whole squad count as a contribution?
If I carry an extra machine gun during a field march, could I trade that for a ‘solo upgrade pack’?”
But only he knows this isn’t a game. It’s a second chance.
In his previous life, he served in this same brigade, going from new recruit to veteran. He worked hard but was promoted slowly. Then an accident happened on his last mission, and he didn’t make it. He barely even left behind a decent group photo.
Now he’s reborn at eighteen, with a strange military merit System to boot. He’s made up his mind:
He’ll keep serving, sweating and getting yelled at just like before, but he absolutely won’t spend his whole life as an invisible grunt doing all the dirty work.
He’ll use his past-life experience plus a little boost from the System
to make his way amid the smell of sweat, foot odor, and laundry detergent,
complaining about life while training hard,
and go from a fresh recruit to the whole brigade’s best System exploit hunter and toughest soldier.
Why is the protagonist's character and IQ cleared as soon as he is reborn?
It feels like this article was not written by a human, but by an AI who checked it for bugs after writing it. Many times when characters communicate, the language is too written and too official, and certain concepts and ideas will be repeatedly emphasized, and it is politically correct, but it lacks a human touch.
It's boring to go back after rebirth. If you change your previous life to another profession, it will look better. Don't watch it.
