"Binding sign-in location: South Luogu Lane!"
"Host location detected. The system will activate at the designated location. Please proceed to the South Luogu Lane sign-in point as soon as possible to activate all system functions!"
"Newbie gift package has been issued!"
"Newbie Gift Package: Portable Space * 1, Human Enhancement Serum * 1! (Unclaimed)"
Chen Yuan was instantly stunned, his original plans completely overturned. He definitely had to follow the cheat!
He looked at the designated sign-in location, feeling a bit confused. South Luogu Lane?
This was a place from a TV series he had watched in his previous life—"Love in a Four-in-one courtyard."
Chen Yuan immediately understood that he might have transmigrated into this fictional world.
The answer to Li Zhan's question was now self-evident.
"Chief, I've decided to transfer out!" Chen Yuan saluted. "In my condition, staying in the military would just be a burden, a hindrance. It would be nothing more than relying on the thin reputation of three generations to have the military support me for the rest of my life! I'd rather live a different way!"
His words were deafening, moving even Li Zhan.
But in reality, what Chen Yuan was thinking was, there's no other way, the system gave him too much!
"Xiao Yuan, your family has been heroes for three generations. The country will not forget your contributions. How could you be a burden? But it's good to transfer out and live a civilian life!" Li Zhan patted Chen Yuan's shoulder, deeply moved. "You should rest well first. When you're discharged, come find me to handle the procedures."
With that, Li Zhan turned and left, a sense of relief washing over him.
Once the footsteps completely disappeared down the corridor, Chen Yuan let out a breath, leaned against the headboard, and immediately opened the newbie gift package.
"Newbie Gift Package Activated"
"Item Acquired: Body Enhancement Serum * 1"
"Item Acquired: Portable Space * 1"
Chen Yuan looked at the tube of red serum that had appeared out of thin air in his hand and immediately drank it without hesitation.
The next moment, he felt a warm current spread through his body, rapidly nourishing his entire being.
Chen Yuan could clearly feel every muscle tensing, every nerve cheering, especially his injured right leg, as if countless tiny electric currents were repairing the damaged tissues.
The entire process lasted only a few minutes, and when it was over, he was surprised to find that he no longer felt any discomfort!
Chen Yuan astonishingly pulled back the covers and tried to move his right leg—no pain, no stiffness, just like it had never been injured!
He could even feel his muscles becoming stronger and more powerful, and his bones more solid.
"This... this is too miraculous!"
Chen Yuan's face was full of awe. He carefully sat up, slowly lowered his legs to the side of the bed, and then tentatively stood up.
The moment his feet touched the ground—he stood steadily, without any discomfort or pain!
Chen Yuan was overjoyed; he didn't want to be a transmigrator with a limp!
Afterward, he tried out the other reward, the portable space.
Chen Yuan perceived his mind as if connected to a blue space. With a thought, he placed the water cup from his bedside into it.
With another thought, the water cup returned to his hand, exactly as it was before.
Chen Yuan felt that this space was completely under his control and could be used at will. Its size was about that of a normal residential unit!
In a corner of the space, there were also more than ten square meters of cultivated farmland.
Chen Yuan felt a surge of pleasant surprise; this portable space was simply a mobile warehouse and a farm!
In this era of scarce resources, relying on this space alone would probably allow him to live a life of abundance!
...
Three days later.
Chen Yuan arrived at the military region headquarters, leaning on a crutch.
Although his leg had completely healed, he couldn't let others know yet; otherwise, this "medical miracle" would be too astonishing and easily cause unnecessary trouble.
He deliberately walked with a limp down the corridor of the headquarters, calculating in his mind, "After a year or so, I'll gradually recover to normal, and by then, explaining it as a human miracle should be enough to get by."
Li Zhan's office door was open, and the sound of rustling papers came from inside.
Chen Yuan gently knocked on the door, and after hearing a response, he walked in, leaning on his crutch.
"You're discharged so soon? You should rest more. You're such an impatient young man. Come, sit, sit." Li Zhan warmly gestured to the chair opposite him and got up to pour Chen Yuan some tea.
"Thank you for your concern, Chief." Chen Yuan, leaning on his crutch, pretended to sit down with difficulty, deliberately showing a hint of pain on his face before quickly concealing it. "Everything else is fine, it's just this leg..."
He deliberately showed a dejected expression and sighed softly.
He had to play the part completely. And if the Chief felt more sorry for him while handling the transfer procedures, the benefits he received might also be significantly better.
Indeed, a hint of self-reproach flashed in Li Zhan's eyes. "Don't be discouraged. Medical conditions are getting better and better now. Maybe there will be a chance for recovery in the future."
Chen Yuan coughed twice and vaguely responded.
He really wanted to say he was already cured, but he truly couldn't.
Li Zhan took a stack of documents from his drawer and neatly placed them on the table: "I've already prepared your transfer procedures, as well as your household registration transfer certificate and letter of introduction, all arranged in Yanjing."
Chen Yuan took the documents, carefully flipping through each page, and nodded gratefully, sincerely saying, "Thank you, Chief."
"Compared to your family's contributions to the country, it's nothing." Li Zhan waved his hand, indicating there was no need to be polite, then took out a bulging kraft paper bag and handed it to Chen Yuan: "This is your demobilization pay, and some subsidies. Take it, and settle down in Yanjing."
Chen Yuan took the heavy kraft paper bag; it was much heavier than he had imagined.
He carefully opened the bag and glanced inside. It was packed full of stacks of large 'black tens' (ten-yuan notes), probably totaling around two thousand yuan!
In an era when an ordinary worker's monthly salary was only about twenty yuan, this amount of money was equivalent to ten years of income for an ordinary person without eating or drinking!
"Chief, this... isn't the demobilization pay too much?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.
"Just take it. Besides your demobilization pay, it also includes the money your father left behind and his pension. It's all what you deserve!"
