The Good-for-Nothing Trembles After Joining the Combat Squad

Warning: The author previously stopped updating for a year due to real-life circumstances. The story used to be marked as having no CP. Starting September 2, 2026, as I revised it, I increasingly felt that the protagonist and his teacher had chemistry. Since there are so few stories about older shizun-and-disciple couples, I decided to take the plunge. So now this is a long-form, pure-love story with the protagonist as the shou, and my own worldbuilding. If that's not your thing, feel free to click the X.

Blurb

[Infinite flow + a touch of ensemble cast + my own worldbuilding + progression + good-for-nothing makes a comeback + protagonist's growth + third-person narration + slow-burn long story!! Be warned]

A little scene with the protagonist:

My name is Tang Zhile. The name means knowing contentment and finding joy.

I'm an orphan. Well, in this society, what difference does being an orphan make? Nobody has parents raising them anyway. We all rely on society's contributions.

In middle school, I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to make a whole new world for all humanity. But the differentiation System told me, 'You're a good-for-nothing with a glass ball. You can only go to the Daily Life Division and hammer metal as a support worker.'

That crushed my youthful passion, but there was nothing I could do. Life had to go on. So I dutifully spent three years in the Daily Life Division. But a top performer is a top performer wherever they go. When my skills reached the point where I could handle an aircraft carrier with my bare hands, the God of Fate gave me a new instance and kicked me in the butt, sending me rolling off to the Combat University of Special Operations District One, a place that trains nothing but giant, violent talents!

Surrounded by so many big shots, all I could do was hug myself and tremble!

Me: F*ck (internationally recognized friendly gesture), Heaven! Why would you put a combat good-for-nothing in the Combat Division?

Oh well. I packed up my things and slung my little backpack over my shoulder. Goodbye, dear Daily Life Division. I'm off to my favorite other execution ground: Combat University of Special Operations District One.

I hope the big shots won't mind having me as their tagalong!

Also! Even if I'm a good-for-nothing, I'm still going to be top!

World Background:

In 2094, a dark void appeared in the Atlantic Ocean on Blue Star. China's top-tier satellites detected energy in State M that was reversing the north-south magnetic field.

That same year, people around Blue Star were attacked by unknown aberrant species. Because of their unusual method of attack, a small, sealed space would suddenly appear out of nowhere in a crowded place, dragging everyone inside into it. Most people trapped there faced the threat of death, and even those lucky enough to escape were killed by the aberrant species waiting outside.

After repeated attacks, people concluded that the creatures had humanlike intelligence and planned their assaults to seize humanity's living space.

Humanity suffered devastating losses. The Southern Hemisphere gradually became a haven for the aberrant species, and they built a gigantic, dark, eerie structure in the places they occupied: the Watchtower.

Then, at exactly noon on October 1, 2109, the day of China's biggest holiday, China unfolded a massive spatial barrier called the Firmament. From then on, humanity no longer had to fear sudden attacks by the aberrant species beneath the Firmament.

We call the aberrant species the Other Races.

The Other Races were the catalyst that set humanity on the path to the stars, and the beginning of a multiverse catastrophe.

P.S. This blurb was written on January 23, 2025, and the chapters were drafted ages ago.

This blurb was revised on February 4, 2025.

I started revising the story from Chapter One on September 2, 2026. I'll resume updating after revising through Chapter 30. After thinking it over, I still want to write BL, so yes, it's BL.

I'm also starting another story at the same time. If you're interested, please bookmark and follow it:

"I Went Crazy After Finding Out I Was the Real Young Master"

Shi Shijin has a strong, fit body, eight-pack abs, and stands 188 centimeters tall! His emotional intelligence and IQ are both 99! A perfect all-around good boy!

His parents disappeared when he was little.

At three, he learned to roam the streets.

At four, he learned to tease cats and dogs.

At five, he learned to perform comic routines and sing.

At ten, he learned to sing, dance, and rap,

with "I'm a rapper!" always on his lips.

Seventeen or eighteen is the perfect age to charge into the world! And then... well, there was no then.

Shi Shijin was found by the parents he'd not seen in years and taken home. They told him he was a young master!

On the first day they met, he smiled faintly at his younger brother, who was a year younger than him.

Then, on a dark and windy night, Shi Shijin went to his younger brother's room.

He took a giant dump on his younger brother's pristine white bed!

When his younger brother came in, he tossed the poop-covered bedsheet right over his head.

Shi Shijin: Oh no, oh no, my little brother pooped on the bedsheet and is going to kill me to cover it up!

The next day,

Shi Shijin secretly got up early and snuck into his dad, mom, and little brother's rooms. He stole their toothbrushes and used them to scrub the toilet.

Dad, Mom, and Little Brother: The toilet's really clean today. Give Auntie Wang a raise!

Shi Shijin raised his hand. "Auntie Wang didn't clean it. If you're giving someone money, give it to me! Besides, Auntie Wang is so mean, she wouldn't even tell me where the toilet brush was! Good thing I found a way!"

Dad, Mom, and Little Brother: ...Then what did you use to scrub it?

Shi Shijin: (smiling) Your toothbrushes! Don't worry, I washed them and put them back!

After Shi Shijin had gone crazy for days on end, he was finally sent to a psychiatric hospital.

Shi Shijin looked at the doctor in front of him. "Do you think I'm sick?"

The doctor adjusted his glasses and calmly replied, "I recommend keeping you here for observation."

The gong is a psychiatrist (a psychopath).

The shou is super strong. He can carry twenty-some kilograms of water up to the eighth floor with his bare hands!

The author has loved strong shous all their life.

This is for going crazy. If you can't handle it, click the X.

The author has been driven crazy by content reviews, so they wrote this story.

By conventional standards, these two are a perfect match. Shi Shijin isn't sick, he's just acting crazy. Their relationship won't develop while he's hospitalized.

Theme: Humanity is a resilient species!
