Chapter 2
“Hey you walking by! Aren’t you a handsome one?”
In a daze, Wang Ye heard a familiar female voice that sounded seductive.
“Uh-huh…”
Before he opened his eyes, Wang Ye’s first reaction was that he was a little dizzy.
He opened his eyes, and the first thing Wang Ye felt was that he was dreaming or hallucinating.
Because the first thing he saw was an old computer screen in front of him.
The screen lit up, and on it was a game interface.
A figure holding a huge sword stood there.
The familiar figure, the familiar background music, and the somewhat familiar words just now made Wang Ye have an intense flashback to a female NPC in the game he had not touched for years.
DNF, nicknamed Kelly from the toxic milk powder.
Wang Ye was still wondering if he was dreaming when the door opened with a bang.
“Bastard, what time is it now? It’s five in the morning. What did I say to you before?”
“Dad?”
Wang Ye looked at the man who had barged in in astonishment.
It felt somewhat similar, but it was very different from what he remembered.
He was much younger and fairer, and he had wealth that he had never seen before in his memory.
However, his shock only lasted for a moment.
“Dad, what are you doing?” In the next second, Wang Ye’s pupils constricted. He let out a loud roar, and his body hurriedly got up, wanting to run.
However, the room was only so big, and he was still sitting on the computer chair. He had just gotten up and had yet to run away when a kick came flying over.
Wang Ye was kicked to the bed on the side, and he was confused. In his memory, his father hadn’t hit him since primary school.
But this…
Wang Ye was confused, but Wang Jianjun wasn’t. He had already pulled out the seven wolves whip in his hand.
“Pa!”
“Bastard, you can die in front of the computer. I’ll beat you to death, you bastard. If you die, I’ll burn a room full of computers for you to play with!”
The seven wolves whip lashed out, and Wang Ye felt his left arm go numb before he felt his thigh get kicked.
Fortunately, another woman’s voice was heard, along with the sound of hurried footsteps.
“What are you doing? Old Wang, are you crazy? You just came back from a business trip, and you’re already hitting your son? What do you hope to accomplish?”
Wang Ye’s mother, Xu Xiaofeng, rushed in and threw her arms around Wang Jianjun to restrain him.
“What am I doing? A loving mother spoils her son. Look at your son. What time is it now? The moment I came back, I saw that the room light was on. I knew that he was still playing games.
“Other people’s children have all made it to university, but he’s the one who played all night before the college entrance examination. And then what did he do? He fell asleep during the examination in the examination hall!
“Let me tell you, I don’t want this bastard anymore. I’ll kill him!”
The man in the room was like a furious lion.
At this moment, Wang Ye, who was lying on the bed, was holding his head with both hands.
At first, it was an instinctual reaction to protect himself. But now, he really had a headache.
When he took the first hit, a large amount of memories rushed into his mind.
“Enough, enough, you’re really going to beat him to death! You just have to teach him well. Just discipline him well.”
“Discipline him? No. I give up. Isn’t the army recruiting now, you bastard child?
“I’ll bring him to register tomorrow.
“This bastard, I want to send him to the army.”
“If he doesn’t quit his internet addiction, he can just die in the army!”
After Wang Jianjun said this, he threw away his belt, turned around, and stomped out of the door angrily.
Xu Xiaofeng looked at Wang Ye, and a trace of heartache flashed across her eyes, “Son, don’t blame your father. His business negotiations probably failed. I’ll go and persuade him again!”
Wang Ye’s mother also left the room.
Before leaving, she even closed the door with the broken lock.
As for Wang Ye, he didn’t care about them at all. He didn’t even care about the pain in his body.
“Is this really me?”
“Transmigration?”
“Reborn?”
Looking at the ceiling, Wang Ye’s eyes were a little confused.
In the newly fused memories, there was almost no difference in his childhood memories.
However, in the 1990s, his father suddenly went into business in this life. He gave up his job as a teacher and started doing business.
In 2009, although his net worth had not exceeded 100 million, he was definitely worth 10 million.
This was actually completely different from Wang Ye’s own situation.
In his memory, his father had always been a teacher, and his mother had always worked in a factory. They were a standard working-class family.
He actually made it into university, and after he’d graduated, he was a successful member of society.
At the very least, he was already over thirty and could drive a BMW. Every year, when he returned home, the matchmakers would bash through his front door just to try and matchmake him.
However, he did not expect that after the drinking session last night, he would end up in a situation like this after waking up.
It hurts!
There must have been traces of his father’s whip on his arm.
“This bastard, you could’ve let yourself get hit first before sucking me into your reality!” Touching his burning arm, Wang Ye cursed in his heart.
In this life, through his memories, he felt that he was a bastard.
Just because his family was busy with business, he was lax in discipline, and after high school, he had completely fallen.
He went out to surf the internet every day.
In his previous life, he also went online at this point in life, but he was not as crazy as this. He wouldn’t even have dared to stay up all night before the college entrance examination.
“Sigh, it’s only because I don’t have any pressure in this life. I know that even if I can’t get into university, I can still live a good life by relying on my parents. That’s why I’m such a degenerate!”
Sighing, Wang Ye felt a little helpless.
“Detected that the host is awake. System activating…”
“Hmm?” The electronic voice that suddenly appeared in his mind surprised Wang Ye, but then he was delighted.
System! there really was something that a transmigrator needed!
However…
“Detected that the host has not obtained military status. System activation failed…”
“Hmm?”
Question marks almost appeared on Wang Ye’s forehead.
There were even systems that failed to activate?
Military status?
That’s right, before he fused his memories, he heard his father say that he was going to take him to enlist in the army tomorrow.
Join the army?
Wang Ye’s mind was instantly filled with thoughts.
Ten seconds later, Wang Ye suddenly smiled.
“That’s good. We’ve already experienced the life of an ordinary person. We’ve suffered, struggled, and enjoyed ourselves. There’s no point in living it again.”
“Being a soldier…That’s pretty good!”
As a good man, who didn’t want to hold a steel spear in their hands and protect their country?
Who didn’t want to gallop on the battlefield and lead the army to intimidate one side?
He regretted being a soldier for two years, but he regretted not being a soldier for a lifetime.
For someone like him who had never joined the army, there was no cause to regret. However, there was always the feeling of “what if.”
Now, since his father wanted to send him off, the system also requested him to join the army, and he also had some inclination to, then he would go!
To make up for choosing otherwise, to live a life that was completely different from his previous life, to change a landscape, to feel the passion and responsibility of the military camp!
“Son, don’t blame your father. Your father is doing this for your own good!”
In the room, Wang Ye was lying on the bed when his mother, who had a kind expression on her face, returned.
In his previous life, his mother doted on him greatly. However, the financial situation of their family in the previous generation didn’t allow for too much indulgence. Despite his love for playing games, Wang Ye still remained focused on his studies, understanding the situation of his family.
But in this life…
It could be said that the saying “wealth doesn’t last three generations” holds some truth. Based on the current historical trajectory, even if the Wang family prospered in his father’s generation, it would likely decline in his own.
But that was the past.
Now, he was here…
“Mom, I’m going to join the army!” Wang Ye announced directly.
“Mom knows that being a soldier is tough. It’s normal if you don’t want to go. I’ll talk to your dad later!” Xu Xiaofeng misunderstood, unable to imagine her previously luxurious lifestyle child wanting to join the army.
“Mom, I said I’m going to join the army!” Wang Ye sat up, looking at her directly as he repeated himself.
“Ah?” Xu Xiaofeng was obviously stunned.
….
“Don’t try to play any tricks on me, and don’t even think about trying to turn the tables around after. All these tricks you have up your sleeves are all learned from me,” Wang Jianjun spoke as he entered the room after Xu Xiaofeng had left. He had a stern expression and spoke harshly.
“Let me tell you, you don’t have any other options now. Just that one. Sleep well. When you wake up in the afternoon, I’ll take you to enlist in the army.
“This time, you have to go no matter what. If you dare to play any tricks on me intentionally or try to come up with ways to fail the military inspection, I’m warning you now. You can prepare to die on the streets!
“I won’t acknowledge you as my son anymore. Don’t even think about a single cent of my money in the future. I’d sooner throw my riches into the river than give it to you.
“Don’t even think about stepping into my home.”
“Old Wang!” Xu Xiaofeng tried to pull Wang Jianjun, but he ignored her at that moment.
“Dad, don’t worry. I won’t play any tricks!” Wang Ye spoke calmly.
Wang Ye didn’t try to explain anything, knowing that in this state, there was no way for his father to understand.
“Hmph, I’ll believe you for the last time. You’d better listen to me. Otherwise…”
His father turned and left immediately. His mother wanted to come in again, but she was pulled away by his father.
“Don’t go in. Let him sleep!”
…
The door closed once more.
Wang Ye smiled helplessly. He had never had such a strained relationship with his father, not even in his previous life when he was thirty years old and unmarried. His father had been eager to scold him, but he never spoke so harshly!
But now…
With a sigh, Wang Ye turned around and turned off the still-lit computer. Then, he lay on the bed.
He couldn’t change his beliefs in a day, and he wouldn’t talk about his transmigration.
He slept until the afternoon.
At two o’clock, he was awoken by his father’s banging on the door.
Wang Ye quickly took a shower and ate the hot lunch his mother had left for him. Then, he followed Wang Jianjun out.
In a Mercedes-Benz E, his father drove the car skillfully while Wang Ye sighed in his heart. In his memory, his father had not even taken the driver’s license test! And now, he was driving a Mercedes-Benz with one hand…
Soon, they arrived at the military.
“Old Wang!”
As soon as he got out of the car, someone came over from outside.
In this life, the Wang family was considered successful. They had assets of at least ten million yuan, and in their hometown in 2009, they were definitely a well-known figure. As for the conscription registration, everyone else went in by themselves. Wang Ye was directly led to an office to drink tea, and then there was a special person to guide him on how to fill in the form.
As for the initial physical examination, there was someone to take care of it all the way.
“Haha! Old Wang, don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. Although Xiao Ye has lost a little weight, his physical condition is not bad. As long as there are no major problems in the follow-up physical examination, I guarantee that he can join the army.”
In the office, holding Wang Ye’s preliminary physical examination report, his father’s friend laughed loudly.
Indeed, Wang Ye’s condition was actually not bad. He was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 63 kilograms, and was about 5 kilograms lighter than the standard weight of the military inspection.
However, the weight of the weapon itself could fluctuate by up to 10%.
Ten kilograms was nothing.
As for his vision, Wang Ye didn’t have any problems.
Even though he often played computer games, he had only started in his third year of high school.
In Year Three, even though he often skipped classes and went online at night, his time was limited, so his eyesight was normal.
“Yes, Old Li, you have to help me this time. This kid, I must let him join the army this time!”
“Haha! Don’t worry!”
In this day and age, being a soldier was actually a hot job, especially in the South.
If you wanted to join the army, there were some places that you couldn’t join just because your physical fitness was good enough.
There were limited spots, and there were too many applicants. If one didn’t have an advantage, they would have to rely on their connections. If they didn’t have anything, they could forget about enlisting.
As for Wang Ye, his physical fitness was definitely fine after a physical examination. Other than being a little handsome, there was nothing else outstanding about him.
However, what he didn’t have, the Wang family did!
The local tax-paying family was a reputable entrepreneur. This was also an advantage and a huge one at that
….
After the registration, Wang Ye’s father’s attitude towards him relaxed a little.
On the way back, Wang Jianjun said while driving, “I don’t care what you think. There’s no turning back now.
“You definitely have to become a soldier.
“Also, let me remind you that if you dare to desert the army after enlisting, you best go to the coffin shop and order a coffin before you come home!”
“…”
Sitting in the back passenger seat, Wang Ye was speechless.
To be honest, he was still not used to his current father!
Although his father looked very domineering, these words…
“I won’t be a deserter!”
“Hmph, I hope you keep your word.” After a pause, his father said in a gentler tone, “Two years. When you come out in two years, I’ll arrange for you to start working in our company!
“As long as your attitude changes, everything in our family will still be yours!” Wang Jianjun spoke.
Wang Ye didn’t respond.
In truth, he didn’t care about the property.
Although there was a significant amount of it, he was someone who had been reborn. It was now 2009, and there were many ways to make a fortune.
In fact, Wang Ye had already thought about it earlier. He wanted to join the army, but he also needed to earn enough money. If he went to the army, he wouldn’t be able to do business, but he had a plan to earn enough money for a lifetime, or even several lifetimes, without having to worry.
When he arrived home, his mother had already gone out, and his father had left after dropping him off. They had a company to take care of. This was the main reason why Wang Ye was like this in this life – no one cared about him.
“Hello, my name is Celia!” The familiar music played.
Wang Ye sat in front of the computer, not intending to play the game but simply logging in to reminisce. After walking around the Arad Continent for a few minutes, Wang Ye logged out and deleted the game icon for DNF. He used to like the girl who called him “warrior” after he saved her from the goblins. But when he found out that eight million warriors had walked out of her treehouse, he gave up.
It was just business.
