After three years of delivering food, Lin Yang had become an expert at squeezing through any gap. But he never imagined that one day he'd squeeze his way onto the Songhu battlefield.
A graduate of a third-rate university and an obscure military enthusiast, Lin Yang's only experience with war came from over-the-top anti-Japanese dramas. As he rode his electric bike into a haze of gun smoke, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his ear: “Anti-Japanese War System successfully bound. Current merit: 0.” He nearly rode straight into a trench.
The System's rules were simple and brutal: kill one Japanese soldier to earn merit; collect a million and exchange it for a spacetime shuttle to go home and inherit billions. Lin Yang did the math and nearly blacked out. How long would it take to kill that many?
But when a stray bullet grazed his ear, the System suddenly displayed a new prompt: “Host faces a lethal threat. Protective return protocol activated. Countdown: 10 seconds.”
Lin Yang's eyes widened.
If he ran into trouble on the battlefield, he could be sent straight back to his original world? Then why bother grinding for a million merit? This was practically a backdoor handed to him by the System!
From that day on, a strange “madman” appeared on the Songhu battlefield, carrying a rifle and charging into the thickest enemy fire, shouting, “Let me die!” while wearing the delighted grin of a worker about to get off early.
But Lin Yang soon discovered that finding a way to “get himself killed” amid a hail of bullets was somehow harder than staying alive.
It's all the same old routine. Give the author a thumbs up.
