From Soldier to Officer: A Game Addict’s Journey

Chapter 2

“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.
