Chapter 13: Fan Tianlei's Shock

~6 min read 1,132 words

The two words "warning" look scary, but Liu Xiaotian doesn't know what this warning means.

Is it a danger warning from parachuting, or is there danger in the surrounding environment?

Following the principle of not being ashamed to ask, Liu Xiaotian immediately chose to ask the system for help.

"Hey, what does this warning mean?"

After a few seconds, a mechanical voice with a hint of laziness sounded: "The surrounding area has potential danger, possibly a person or a beast—be careful."

Damn... is it really this human-like?

Liu Xiaotian felt a rush of heat shoot up to his forehead.

You damn system, you're my biggest and only reliance in this world—can't you take some responsibility?

But in this situation, we still need to follow the principle of adapting to circumstances and talk to the system.

Otherwise, if this guy's temper flares up and he just ignores us, what then?

Suppressing the fire in his heart, Liu Xiaotian spoke again: "Um, could you give a more precise hint?"

This time, the system's voice clearly changed.

It merely shifted toward a mechanical direction, lacking any human emotion or tone, becoming purely programmatic: "A level-one system cannot precisely detect potential threats in the surroundings; please, host, strive to upgrade the system."

Once the system reaches level three, it can accurately locate potential threats within a five-hundred-meter radius.

Liu Xiaotian: "……"

Damn, still level three—when will that be? As of now, he's just cleared his "debt."

Since the system is unreliable, Liu Xiaotian can only rely on himself.

Although, with the system's help, he now has decent military skills, psychologically he hasn't fully entered the role.

Although those two red "warning" characters look intimidating, he really didn't take them to heart.

After all, although this isn't the world he originally lived in, the difference isn't obvious, and it's still a peaceful era.

He's only heard of and imagined things like bullet storms and life-or-death situations.

More importantly, the name of this all-purpose assistance system is truly fitting—its main functions are all assistance.

For example, during yesterday's aerial ordeal, he fixed the plane at the critical moment, turning danger into safety.

If this were a combat mission, such an awesome "cheat" would surely earn him some merit—at the very least, the name Liu Xiaotian would spread throughout the Wolf Fang Special Forces Brigade in no time, and even the entire military region wouldn't be surprising.

If that were the case, probably at least five or more unit commanders would try every means to transfer him to their units.

But now, only Zhou Tianzuo, an expert in the repair field, is interested in him.

Put simply, in the army—especially in this world's army—combat-type soldiers are still clearly valued more than support troops.

After drifting in midair for a few minutes, Liu Xiaotian was the first to land safely.

Obviously, the effect of the activated paratrooper assistance level-one pack is still quite evident.

Moreover, this includes not only Paul's parachuting technique, but also the maintenance of the aircraft and its auxiliary equipment.

Still, even if he's made some progress in this field, it seems unrelated to the title "Soldier King." After putting away his parachute, Liu Xiaotian saw Li Erniu approaching from the front right, folding his umbrella as he walked.

Seeing Liu Xiaotian, Li Erniu gave a simple smile and loudly greeted: "Liu Xiaotian, you've packed your parachute? That fast!"

For this honest-looking Li Erniu, Liu Xiaotian felt fond and replied with a smile:

"Yeah, I jumped before you; how's it going? Still smooth? Did you see where others landed?" Li Erniu pointed left-forward: "I saw Wang Yanbing land in that direction; judging by distance, he should be just outside the circle."

Li Erniu's face still showed a hint of regret as he spoke.

For the parachuting event, the jump itself is just the first step and has little bearing on the final score.

What really affects the score is the timing and method of opening the parachute, and finally the landing point.

Simply put, the closer the landing point is to the center, the higher the score.

Li Erniu showed a hint of regret when speaking because, judging from Wang Yanbing's landing point, he was off-center and not close.

You should know that in previous parachute jumps, Wang Yanbing had never made such a mistake.

Unlike Li Erniu, Liu Xiaotian doesn't think Wang Yanbing is underperforming.

This guy is a typical hothead soldier, and he's also bold.

He hasn't even done a few real jumps yet, but he's already thinking about increasing the jump height.

Liu Xiaotian dares to assert that this guy jumping that far must be intentional.

If he were still jumping in the training area, he'd probably hate to land anywhere but the center point.

But now, in the border jungle, jumping that far surely aims just to see the scenery along the border line.

If it were He Chen Guang, Liu Xiaotian wouldn't think that, but with Wang Yanbing, it's definitely the case.

Once Li Erniu approached, Liu Xiaotian immediately turned toward the direction Li Erniu pointed and said casually:

"Let's go, let's go find him."

They all have GPS positioning systems, so the command center can clearly see where they land.

The reason Liu Xiaotian heads toward where Wang Yanbing landed is because the word "warning" keeps flashing in his mind.

He hasn't confirmed what's going on yet; if he reports rashly and nothing happens, he'll surely get scolded.

Moreover, he doesn't think there's any danger in this jungle, so he just plans to take a look.

In fact, Liu Xiaotian's guess is spot on—Wang Yanbing did it on purpose.

When he was still about two hundred meters above the ground, he saw the border line marker on the ground.

Having finally come to the border, given Wang Yanbing's personality, he definitely wanted to get as close as possible to have a look.

Who knows, if he gets a whim, he might even dare to write "Wang Yanbing was here" on the boundary marker.

But he doesn't realize just how dangerous his adventurous act could be.

After landing, Wang Yanbing immediately packed his parachute and then ran straight toward a boundary marker that had come into view in the distance.

He wants to go see it, to personally touch it and feel whether the marker has a warm-blooded temperature.

Every inch of this country's land was defended with the blood of past martyrs.

As a hot-blooded youth and a soldier heavily cultivated by the unit, Wang Yanbing, who has always been proud and lofty-eyed, wanted to feel up close the remnants of the war era—this is quite natural.

Just as he began to step toward the border line, those two gloomy eyes fixed tightly on him, sinister and vengeful……
