Chapter 221: The System Went on Strike

This time, the two top officials of Warrior School talked for over two hours, with only one topic: how to retain the newly appointed combat instructor Liu Xiaotian, rather than the previously agreed six-month loan with Liu Xiaotian's superiors.

Of course, they weren't about to start implementing it right away; they also needed to observe whether Liu Xiaotian, whose every prior performance had satisfied them both, truly had the absolute capability to be this instructor.

They are both seasoned old hands; the word "impulsive" has had nothing to do with them for many years.

The facts proved that Liu Xiaotian's ability had no issues whatsoever; in just one week, he brought the close-combat training of the hand-trained soldiers back on track.

However, during this period, something happened—Cha Cai withdrew temporarily.

Liu Xiaotian naturally knew the reason, but he could not stop it, nor did he have any reason to.

This left him feeling low for several days straight.

When Liu Xiaotian asked the system if he could exchange mission points for an "instructor assistance pack," the "De Yun Production" system voice outright ignored him, while the mechanical system voice gave a clear and concise answer: "No!" This damn...

At one, one look `no, one wrong version%!'

But this time, it didn't work.

If all that's needed is a "spokesperson," as the system said, a pig could just as easily reach his current strength, only in a different way, right?

From the system's perspective, such a host is indeed completely unnecessary.

What about the promised all-around assistance?

Liu Xiaotian: ……

Obeying and carrying out superiors' orders has always been his top priority.

Now, the host has received multiple assistance packages from the system, and his individual combat power has already reached the advanced standard in the current script world.

Or put another way, it's the standard mindset of a professional soldier.

At this point, Liu Xiaotian's mindset has gradually reached the standard of a special forces soldier.

Simply put, the system chose you because its fundamental purpose is for you to progress autonomously under its assistance, thereby further enhancing the abilities it granted you.

However, regrettable as it may be, if the two were to meet again as enemies one day, even though they had once teamed up to catch the scorpion, trained together at Warrior School, and were connected through He Chen Guang, their relationship would still be decent, yet he would absolutely show no mercy.

But he also encountered difficulties.

Having Liu Xiaotian engage in sparring poses no problem, but if he has to devise training subjects, he finds it somewhat difficult.

Putting on this uniform means shouldering the responsibilities it entails.

You haven't even said you'd help me reach the position of a world-class peak special forces soldier, have you? It's just a measly combat instructor at Warrior School; what's wrong with giving a bit of "technical guidance"? Is it that you won't give it, or that you just don't have this assistance function? For Liu Xiaotian's kind of "thorny" "inquiry," the mechanical system voice seemed to carry a hint of emotion for the first time; although the language was mechanical, the words spoken seemed to be designed by someone: "From now on, the host will enter the second stage of growing into a special forces king in the current first-level script world."

The instructors at Warrior School, aside from needing to complete the training plan set by the chief instructor, usually have to devise their own training subjects and plans. Unfortunately, such a talent, upon returning, will soon have to take a different path, standing opposite them.

From another angle, what the system said is also not wrong.

This is really too much like a grandson's move? But after thinking it over, Liu Xiaotian felt relieved again.

It's not that he's worried about the boring saying 'teaching the apprentice to starve the master,' but rather Liu Xiaotian hasn't studied the relevant knowledge; on the question of how to 'teach,' he spent a week and still couldn't devise a reasonable training plan.

If everything had to be solved by relying on the system, then why would the system choose you as its host? Following your logic, let alone a person, even a pig could reach your current strength if every matter had to be resolved by the system's power, so why still choose you as the host? Finally, a friendly reminder to the host;

Every time the host previously encountered difficulties, the system provided help immediately, because the host himself was too weak, lacking the ability to protect himself in danger.

Damn it, if it weren't for that "De Yun Production" hack's script being read out by this mechanical voice, I could chew a big mouthful of bullets!

If Cha Cai could be retained, there might even be a chance for him to become a soldier in my country's military.

If you're not helping, then you're not helping—where does all this nonsense come from? It seems this guy is now too lazy to even rant at me himself, instead letting that mechanical voice do the talking.

However, looking at this situation, from now on it might not be as easy to obtain another system assistance package as before; giving one out at the drop of a hat is basically like turning on invincibility mode in a game.

Liu Xiaotian knows Cha Cai's strength.

It must be said that after transmigrating, Liu Xiaotian has fully entered his role in this world; while his military quality is rapidly improving, his ideological level is also continually rising.

With the system's assistance, he seems to have grown accustomed to turning to the system for help the moment he encounters something he can't solve; and before that, the system basically granted his every request.

From now on, the host should rely on his own abilities to seek improvement, rather than depending solely on the system's assistance.

Not to mention the Cha Cai in the plot; just the Cha Cai he personally witnessed, who has multiple combat experiences, is still somewhat stronger than He Chen Guang and his two companions.

This feeling of clearly being able to foresee the plot's direction yet being unable to change it is really somewhat uncomfortable.

Over time, although he didn't notice, he had actually developed a dependence, turning to the system for help at the slightest problem.

Moreover, he clearly knows that all personal feelings and gains or losses must step aside when faced with a mission, especially national and military interests.

The brain on your shoulder isn't just for eating; it's also for thinking. Otherwise, you might as well put a pumpkin on your neck.

In the past half year or so, I've indeed come along smoothly, and although I've put in sufficient sweat, the returns have been several times, even over ten times, those of other soldiers who put in the same amount of sweat.

Someone who has always had smooth sailing, once losing their support, will generally feel lost and helpless for a period of time—that's the pattern.

But Liu Xiaotian did not.

After all, when the system initially chose the host, it didn't just randomly pick something from a basket and call it good; it was definitely selected after screening.

In about ten minutes, Liu Xiaotian successfully changed his originally fixed mindset and began to think again about his path forward……
