Cultivation Begins as a Foot Soldier

Conflicting background settings: 1. The protagonist has made a contribution. As a lowly soldier, he killed bandits and made military achievements. His superiors dutifully awarded him all the military merits. The army was absolutely disciplined and iron-willed. Even in modern society, it would be difficult for any military to do this.

In ancient times, if you wanted to expand your story, arranged marriages were quite common, right? If the author doesn't want to develop their power, they can choose to remain solo or not. But if they want to develop their power and still insist on remaining solo, then please consider me insane.

It's ridiculous to say that border defense requires military merit for promotion and wealth, or that martial arts skills also require military merit. It's like modern warfare where only winning battles allow you to upgrade your rifles to machine guns and helicopters to combat power. That would have led to war's demise long ago! Isn't strengthening your own troops the most basic requirement?! Requiring military merit for that is laughable!

It's a pity the author didn't make it. (Offering incense)

Wow, that's awesome! I'm not a rich kid, so I can't relate at all. Look at how the protagonist in your book enjoyed life before transmigrating, and then became the protagonist after transmigrating—how amazing is that?!

Are they always using guns? These days, knives are the most common, followed by swords; it's been a while since we've seen a main character using a gun.

May the departed rest in peace.

It's been 20 days without any updates; it's probably dead. It's a pity this posthumous work is wasted.

Fighting on the frontier, and they're even restricting ordinary soldiers' combat skills, requiring military industry to exchange for them? Can't a few common items be given away for free? A 10% increase in the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers would boost the entire army by an immeasurable amount.

May the departed rest in peace.
