Chapter 111: Big Profit! (6100 words long chapter) Under the gaze of many officers and soldiers, Brigade Commander Zhao Jinsong opened a plastic folder containing a brand new order: "The Shenzhou People's Liberation Army, the Northeast Military Region Political Department's Order No. 124, the Notice on the Methods for Selecting Grassroots Cadres from Outstanding Soldiers, Comrade Su Chen, a private soldier of the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade of our military region, has performed well and has outstanding deeds since joining the army. He meets the relevant regulations and is now promoted to the rank of second lieutenant, with an administrative level of regular platoon. According to the needs of relevant troops, he will be sent to a military academy for in-depth study at an appropriate time. - This order, the Shenzhou People's Liberation Army, the Northeast Military Region Political Department!" After Zhao Jinsong finished reading the order and closed the document. The rookie teams looked at Su Chen in surprise, and the officers and soldiers below the stage were also slightly surprised! A private soldier who had been in the army for one year was promoted to the rank of second lieutenant? ! The officers and soldiers did not know Su Chen's specific situation, they just thought that this private soldier named Su Chen should have performed very well, because according to the relevant regulations for promotion, this private soldier must have accumulated at least two third-class merits within one year of joining the army to meet the spirit of the order. After all, the so-called sending to the military academy for in-depth study actually refers to the normal recommendation of the troops to the military academy and the awarding of the rank of second lieutenant after graduation. However, Su Chen did not go to study, but was awarded the rank first, which is a very normal thing in special forces. As expected, he is a private who passed the special operations selection! There is something indeed! Many soldiers looked at Su Chen with some envy. Many of them were still NCOs. After all, the special operations brigade was different from the "professional soldiers here" mentioned by Lao A in the TV series "Soldier Assault". Think about it, a brigade-level special forces unit would be full of cadres. How could it be possible? ! Especially now, the army has gradually begun to pay attention to the development and training of NCOs. Therefore, there are very few who can be recommended to military academies and promoted to cadres. Basically, only those who have performed very well in the army can have this qualification. But the most shocking person was Su Chen himself. After Zhao Jinsong finished reading out the order, Su Chen's pupils shrank slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Promotion... promotion?" Doesn’t his academic qualifications fail to comply with relevant regulations? In fact, from Gao Yi's personal teaching of combat command, and from the occasional casual chat with him, when Gao Yi often mentioned "what would happen if you became a commander", Su Chen could guess what Gao Yi meant, but at that time he was still a little worried, because his academic qualifications were a real flaw. If it was his diploma from the Public Security University in his previous life, he would have been promoted directly, but it was not possible in this life, because this diploma went to his brother.

This is really a pleasant surprise!! According to Su Chen's original plan, he planned to improve his academic qualifications by taking self-study exams in the army in his spare time, and then apply for or be admitted to a military academy to further plan for promotion. This is inevitably a bit cumbersome, but there is no other way. He himself planted the cause of not continuing to study after graduating from junior high school, so naturally he has to take one or even several steps more than others. He didn't expect the special operations brigade to be so powerful and help him skip this tedious step. When it comes to Su Chen's promotion to military officer, the people who are most affected are the rookie team who work with him day and night. Yan Ziqiang, Ge Tong, and Hao Dahai all sighed with emotion: No matter what time it is, you still have to have the ability! The three of them were also non-commissioned officers, and some even joined the army earlier than Su Chen. They also passed the training and selection of the special operations brigade together, but Su Chen was promoted in the end. It would be a lie to say that they were not envious! There is an essential difference between officers and non-commissioned officers. Non-commissioned officers are always soldiers, and even though Su Chen's rank of second lieutenant is only the lowest among lieutenants, he is still an officer. According to the rules, they have to salute Su Chen first when they meet. What's more, with Su Chen's ability, second lieutenant is just a starting point. As long as he gains more experience, it will not be a problem to have another star on his shoulder in one or two years. According to the ideal situation of our army that one rank is promoted every three years, Su Chen, who is 3 years old this year, is completely likely to be promoted to major before he is 19 years old. Although this is far less than that of military academy graduates, it is almost the same. You know, even if a general military academy graduate at the age of and is awarded the rank of captain, it will take four years to be promoted to major, which means he is about or years old. So, he is not much different from Su Chen! How could they not be envious! However, although they were envious, they were not jealous at all. After all, Su Chen's abilities were obvious to all. Strength is always your greatest asset! ………… on the rostrum. After Zhao Jinsong read out the order, he walked up to Su Chen, personally took off the military rank on Su Chen's shoulders, took out two second lieutenant ranks that had been prepared long ago, put them on Su Chen's shoulders, took off the national defense service badge, and replaced it with a collar flower made of pine branches and five-pointed stars. The brigade commander personally awarded the title! This scene once again aroused the envy of many officers and soldiers. Su Chen looked solemnly at the colonel in front of him who was personally awarding him the title, his expression dignified. After Zhao Jinsong awarded Su Chen the title, Su Chen raised his hand to salute, and the latter returned the salute and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Su Chen, becoming an officer is just a starting point in your military career! I hope you will live up to the high hopes placed on you by the Party and the people. You must hold yourself to higher and stricter standards and strive to be a role model for soldiers. Do you have the confidence to do so?!" Su Chen responded with a resounding voice: "Yes!——"

same second. "Ding! Congratulations to the player for passing the special forces selection and becoming a glorious party member. You will get +2 points for any skill..." "Ding! Congratulations to the player for being promoted to second lieutenant officer in the Shenzhou Army and obtaining 1 top-quality skill treasure chest..." Two consecutive mechanical stereoscopic metal prompt sounds rang in his ears, and Su Chen was delighted. He got another reward? ! However, the party admission ceremony was still being held, so he was not in a hurry to summon the system panel. The ceremony ended after Zhao Jinsong personally awarded the title to Su Chen. After the ceremony, Su Chen received the first promotion order in his life. The service badge and new uniform cap were already prepared, but these were actually of little use in the special operations brigade. They had very few opportunities to wear uniforms. Most of the time, they wore training uniforms. After returning to the dormitory with my comrades. "Chen'er, you're awesome!" Jiang Cheng came over and put his arm around Su Chen's shoulders, "Now you're on the same level as me!" Shen Hang also laughed and joked: "Yes, unknowingly, our captain has become a senior officer! He is also a glorious officer cadre, and he is no longer a rookie who has to salute everyone he sees!" "More than that?" Yan Ziqiang said self-deprecatingly, "Before, according to the rank, Chen Er had to call me squad leader. But now, when we meet, I have to salute him first! How can I justify this?" "Our captain is about to take off!" Hao Dahai saluted Su Chen half-jokingly, "Hello, Platoon Leader!" "………" Listening to his comrades' jokes, Su Chen looked helpless, "I'm telling you guys to stop making fun of me! Especially you, comrade major, it's not appropriate for you, a 2-cent guy, to tease me, a 1-cent guy, isn't it? You started off with a single point!" Shen Hang graduated from a military academy. During his studies, he had a bar on his shoulder to indicate that he was a student. "That's different!" Shen Hang said, "I only got three stars in four years, and you've gone from a cripple to a dime in less than a year! You're awesome! When I first entered the military academy, I didn't know a damn thing!" Su Chen hurriedly said, "Stop talking nonsense. Don't mention my little money. Even if I have wheat ears hanging on my shoulders, we are still good brothers. Don't talk about those useless things." "Tsk tsk!" Jiang Cheng grasped the key point: "Did you hear that? This guy is too ambitious. He actually wants to be a general!" Su Chen laughed and said, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!" "Then don't forget each other when you become rich and powerful!" Shen Hang emphasized the word "dog" deliberately. Even a fool could tell that he didn't say "gou" but "dog". Su Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Fuck you!" "Hahahaha!" The rookie team burst into laughter. "Da da da!" As they were talking and laughing, the dormitory door was pushed open. Lin Yudong looked at them and said, "You guys are having a good time, aren't you? I can hear your laughter from the corridor!" Su Chen and others quickly stood up and greeted, "Instructor." "I'm not your instructor anymore, we're colleagues." Lin Yudong smiled and said, "Su Chen, come out with me, Captain Gao wants to see you! The rest of you come out too, we're going to have a routine talk with you!" Su Chen and others followed Lin Yudong to the door of an office. …………

In an office. After Lin Yudong brought Su Chen in, they sat next to Gao Yi. Gao Yi pointed to the chair in front of the table and said with a smile, "Sit down." Su Chen took a seat, feeling somewhat curious about the content of Gao Yi's routine conversation with them. "Su Chen, we are old friends. I will just say whatever I want to say!" Gao Yi paused for a moment and then got to the point of the conversation: "You have passed the intensive training selection of the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade. The brigade has already made your personnel appointment, and it is in my hands. But before that, you need to answer a multiple-choice question first." Su Chen said: "Captain Gao, you decide." Gao Yi raised his head and looked at Su Chen, and asked seriously: "Do you want to become a grassroots cadre in an ordinary company of the special forces, or do you want to devote your youth, blood, and even your life to defending the territorial integrity of the motherland and the stability of the people's lives and become a glorious special forces member?!" "Captain Gao, is there any difference between the two?" Su Chen asked. "Of course!" Gao Yi said in a deep voice: "If you choose to become a grassroots cadre of the special forces, your life will be much easier! You will have more opportunities for promotion. According to your current military rank, we will arrange for you to serve as a platoon leader of a grassroots company. Your daily life will be relatively dull, but there will be less danger. You only need to complete the tasks assigned by your superiors step by step, lead your soldiers well, and slowly gain experience. I think with your ability, you will be promoted slowly. Within ten years, you will have the opportunity to become a major, and then perhaps a company commander or deputy battalion commander!" Su Chen asked again: "What about the latter?" "The latter won't be such an easy life!" Gao Yi paused, "What I'm going to tell you next will be highly confidential. If you don't choose the latter, I hope you'll forget all of it when you leave!" Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Captain Gao, please go ahead." "If you choose to become a glorious special warfare member, you will join the ace unit of the Northeast Tiger Special Operations Brigade - the Tiger Special Commando! The Tigers are a special force among special forces, a completely non-existent and highly confidential shadow force, and an anti-terrorism company directly under the General Staff. Here, you will undergo the most rigorous, professional, and authoritative war skills training in the world! Become an out-and-out war machine! And once you choose to join such a force, it is destined that most of your military career will be spent in mud, sacrifice, and dedication. Every actual combat may pass by death. You will have only one duty: to defend the dignity of the country with all your strength and accompany the war! Similarly, it is destined that your promotion will become difficult. Within the prescribed period, all honors will be unknown!" Gao Yi introduced the Tiger Special Commando in a solemn voice. After he finished speaking, he stared at Su Chen with sharp eyes. Su Chen fell silent after hearing this! There is no doubt that if he chose the former, it would be more in line with the goal he set when he first joined the army to stand out in the army. However, after half a year of military life, Su Chen suddenly thought that he should not spend such a dull life in the barracks. Whether it is the system or the various military skills he learned during the selection period, they were all created for combat! He couldn't help but recall the scene when the brigade commander personally awarded him the rank of second lieutenant. He couldn't deny that Su Chen felt heavy in his heart at that time. Whether it was Gao Yi or the brigade commander, why did they make an exception and promote him? They both had high hopes for him! Su Chen has made his choice. He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Gao Yi, "Captain, I choose the latter!" Gao Yi smiled with relief when he heard this, but he still asked, "What's the reason?" Su Chen said seriously: "The reason is, if I want to do it, I will do it the best!" "Okay!" Gao Yi and Lin Yudong both showed joy on their faces. To be honest, they were really afraid that Su Chen would choose the former. After all, from a development point of view, there is no doubt that the former is very safe, stable and easy to succeed. It is human nature to choose the former! Gao Yi stood up and stretched out his hand, "From today on, you are my soldier, my comrade-in-arms, and my brother!" Su Chen stretched out his hand and shook his hand, "I am honored to work with Captain Gao!" "You little brat, aren't you flattering too quickly?" Captain Gao rolled his eyes at Su Chen. "We're done talking about business! I know you have a lot of questions, now you can tell me what you think."

Su Chen smiled and asked the question in his mind, "Captain Gao, I want to know why I am still qualified for promotion even though I only have a junior high school education?" "I guessed you would ask this." Gao Yi was not surprised at all. He threw a red box to Su Chen and said, "Take a look at this." Su Chen was stunned when he took the box. The box is wrapped in red with four large golden characters on it: 【Award Certificate】 Below were the golden Song-style words: "Second Class Merit". At this time, the metallic stereo prompt sounded again: "Ding! Congratulations to the player for his outstanding performance while undercover in the Satan Group and for winning the second-class individual merit! Rewards: 1 top-quality skill treasure chest! +1 any talent point..." ......... "This is the merit you made while working undercover in the Satan D-trafficking group. With the approval of Yunhai and Liaodong Provincial Department, you are awarded the second-class individual merit! After one year in the army, you have one third-class merit and two second-class merits. You have excellent military skills and outstanding sniping and command talents. Can you give us a reason not to promote you?" Gao Yi asked back, and after a pause, he continued: "Perhaps from the perspective of academic qualifications, you do not meet the relevant regulations, but that is not important. What is important is that we want to promote you! Academic qualifications should not be a barrier that restricts you from fully utilizing your talents, right? You should know that not only the brigade commander and I, but in fact, many people in the military region are paying attention to you! This attention has increased since you ranked first in the assessment of the recruit company and your outstanding performance in the exercise. We all believe that you will become an outstanding special operations member and special operations commander!" Su Chen held the box of military medals in his hand and said suddenly, "I understand..." "Do a good job!" Gao Yi patted Su Chen on the shoulder. "The military camp is a place that values ​​strength. Here, you can give full play to your talents! You will have a bigger stage in the future! Don't let everyone down!" Su Chen stood at attention and said: "Yes!——" ………… After leaving the office, Gao Yi continued to talk with other rookies one after another. The final result was no exception. All members of their rookie team chose to join the Tiger Special Commando! While Gao Yi was talking to other comrades, Su Chen summoned and opened his personal system panel. [Player: Su Chen 【talent】 Vision: Hearing: 15 Smell: 13 Taste: 10 Stamina: Perception: [Currently available talent points: 3.] [Temporary Storage Box: Top Skill Treasure Box x2] [Skill list (+)] [Warm Tips: Check that the current player has 3 talent points. When the talent reaches 15, additional enhancement will be obtained. It is recommended to give priority to talents that can be added to 15. ] "Can I reach 15 points of talent?" Su Chen looked at the system's friendly reminder and fell into deep thought for a moment. First of all, the only talents that can be upgraded to level 15 are smell, endurance, and perception. Su Chen failed the endurance test first. He found that endurance can be increased through training. Its current score is and he will be able to reach 15 points soon through his own efforts. After so long, only the sense of smell and perception are left. There is some ambiguity about the definition of perception. The general understanding is the ability to perceive the surroundings. Taking fighting as an example, when the enemy attacks you, the stronger your perception, the clearer your judgment of the enemy's actions. This is not quite the same as the acquired skill [Killing Intent Perception]. Killing intent perception is only effective against danger, but this perception is universal. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Su Chen finally chose to increase his sense of smell talent by +2 and his perception talent by +1.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for reaching 15 points in the olfactory talent and gaining an extra olfactory enhancement!" "Ding! Congratulations to the player for reaching 15 points in perception talent and gaining an additional perception enhancement!" Two consecutive prompt tones rang in my ears. At this moment, a car drove past the building. Su Chen sniffed and smelled some exhaust gas. Su Chen couldn't help but secretly complain: My goodness, my nose has become a dog's? ! However, the enhancement of his olfactory talent will undoubtedly be of great help in combat. He will be more sensitive in tracking the enemy's scent! As for the enhancement of his perception talent, Su Chen has not felt it yet, so he can only experience it slowly in the future. After adding points to his talents, Su Chen also opened two skill boxes! "Ding! Congratulations to the player for opening the skill treasure chest and obtaining the ultimate skill: Close Combat Weapon Master Level Proficiency! (Skill description: including but not limited to cold weapon bare-handed killing techniques such as daggers, sabers, bayonets, batons, etc.)" "Ding! Congratulations to the player for opening the skill treasure chest and obtaining the ultimate skill: Muay Thai Master Level Mastery!" Su Chen didn't expect that the skills that came out of the two treasure chests were all related to fighting. Especially this Muay Thai. After sorting out the new experience in his brain, Su Chen was a little surprised. There are two theories about the origin of Muay Thai. One theory is that Muay Thai is the purest killing technique refined by Thai soldiers in war. During the Ayutthaya Dynasty, that is, the war conflicts with Myanmar and other countries between 1350 and 1767 AD, further promoted the formation and development of the Muay Thai system. Another theory is that Muay Thai gradually evolved from folk fighting skills and traditional martial arts, and it had its prototype during the Sukhothai Dynasty (1238-1378 AD). At that time, people fought against the enemy with bare hands or with a combination of weapons, and the training grounds were concentrated in temples, homes and some specialized self-defense technique teaching institutions. Su Chen was not sure which of the two statements was correct. Deep down, he tended to agree with the first statement. But these are not the point. What really attracted Su Chen was the characteristics of Muay Thai. Muay Thai is known for its fierce and tough moves, which emphasize strength and agility. When fighting at medium and close range, elbows and knees are extremely lethal, so there is a saying that "elbows are like knives". Heavy strikes are brave and forward, using strength to overcome strength. In close-range fighting, the enemy can be caught off guard and the lethality is terrifying! It is undeniable that Muay Thai, to some extent, is indeed very suitable for the military's killing philosophy. Especially in terms of training, the main focuses are endurance (long-distance running, etc.), strength (equipment training, hitting sandbags), speed (sprint running), flexibility (various stretching movements), and agility (various pace training), which are very consistent with the physical training of the troops. The Muay Thai acquired through the system is not limited to a single move or form, but more of a mastery of the essence. Su Chen could clearly feel that his fighting skills now had a lot more variations. He believed that in a real fight, the changes would be more natural and unpredictable, so much so that Su Chen couldn't wait to find someone to practice with! ………… Su Chen sighed in his heart: "I really made a lot of money today!" Join the party! Exceptionally promoted to the rank of second lieutenant! Second class merit! Two talents 15 points + enhancement! Two ultimate fighting skill rewards! This was the first time that Su Chen had made a fortune since he traveled through time and obtained the system. He couldn't help but feel happy and was looking forward to his future life in the special forces even more! …… Sorry for the long wait, brothers.
