Chapter 243: Shark's Headache

After all, these people's purpose of making a living under Hu Sha is not to seek death, but to live a better life.

Generally speaking, these people's psychology is somewhat twisted.

Or to put it another way, their mentality is not particularly normal.

Otherwise, why would they become pirates?

Hu Sha and his few underlings' lives are definitely extravagant; the island never lacks wine, meat, delicacies, and women.

But those little lackeys… frankly, their days aren't necessarily better than those of nine-to-five office workers.

Besides having to train according to Hu Sha's regulations in daily life, they also have to serve as manual labor when idle.

Since they themselves have chosen this life, why should Liu Xiaotian still care about their lives?

At one, one look `none, one erroneous version%!'

Or to put it another way, a true special forces soldier is actually more like a machine.

He silently followed behind Liu Xiaotian for a while, and when Liu Xiaotian prepared to strike again, Li Erniu suddenly lunged in front of him, his military dagger thrusting without the slightest hesitation into the chest of that pirate who had been drenched in blood and left Liu Xiaotian stunned.

At first, Li Erniu was also filled with rage; otherwise, his first strike would not have been so decisive.

At the same time, he began to wonder if something was wrong with himself.

Simply put, Liu Xiaotian is more suited to become a special forces soldier.

Whether bricklayers or laborers, any manual work needed on the island is done by these lackeys.

This is also why, when Liu Xiaotian later upgraded the system to Level 3, the most crucial mission points were fundamentally provided by Li Erniu.

Not to mention Hu Sha, even any random underling wanting to kill them would only need a sentence or a bullet.

To be frank, Li Erniu's sudden outburst indeed startled Liu Xiaotian as well.

Most importantly, even basic personal safety is not guaranteed.

Only then did he gradually calm down from his previous state, realizing that his own condition might have affected Li Erniu to some extent.

Moreover, when your mission points exceed nine thousand, as you approach upgrading the system to Level 2, the current script world will automatically advance its upgrade, increasing your difficulty.

Because what these three words 'special forces' represent is not merely excellence in military quality, but more importantly, it stems from the heart.

At the same time, Li Erniu seemed to understand why, when facing the owl previously, Liu Xiaotian clearly liked Qin Yuxi, yet before truly gaining control of the situation, he showed not a trace of concern for Qin Yuxi;

He also knew that, no matter the circumstances, he could never strike as coldly and mercilessly as Liu Xiaotian.

This, it seems, is not a good omen.

"sri, I have an obligation to remind you that the current script world exists in great difference from your original world."

Although he was somewhat disappointed with himself, he did not therefore give up on himself; instead, he secretly swore in his heart that he would become someone like Liu Xiaotian!

After successively taking out four pirate lackeys, Liu Xiaotian's steps grew faster and his strikes fiercer. Yet he was able to rush forward when Qin Yuxi was bound with a bomb that even professional bomb disposal experts could not solve, and he persisted until the very last second.

After a dozen seconds, his heart told him 【unintelligible】.

If you can't even do this, then no matter how strong your individual combat ability is, you're merely an excellent soldier and cannot deserve the three words 'special forces'.

Li Erniu, following behind Liu Xiaotian, clearly saw that the military dagger gripped tightly in his hand had, at the serrated tip, a piece of unknown flesh—whether from a human body part or viscera—hanging there, trembling in the air with Liu Xiaotian's movements, yet never falling off.

Since he transmigrated into this world, everything around him seems unchanged from before, except that after formally joining the Red Blood Cell Group and beginning missions, his attitude toward enemies in missions always carries a hint of brutality.

In their eyes, there is only the mission and the interests of the military and the nation, no personal feelings.

However, this difference is not reflected in daily life, but only in combat against enemies.

If he ultimately fails to defuse that bomb, then now he and Qin Yuxi have already become photos hanging on a tombstone.

This is also the most worthy aspect of this honest, simple young man to learn from: his honesty.

He vaguely realizes that the gap between him and Liu Xiaotian is not the talent gap he always thought it was, but a psychological gap.

A person with strong will, once having a goal, will surely pursue it all the way according to the target he set for himself.

Li Erniu tried asking himself: if on that day the person bound with the bomb had not been Qin Yuxi but Cui Fen, could he have acted as bravely and resolutely as Liu Xiaotian?

Putting it in the popular internet slang from his original world: Just do it!

Moreover, they not only lack freedom, but even their food is just so-so.

Furthermore, another most important reason is: he now represents not his own country, but the Warrior School.

I can responsibly tell you that your current psychological state has no problems.

Although his worry for Cui Fen's safety remains, after personally witnessing Liu Xiaotian's repeated strikes, he shockingly discovers that he is simply far too inferior.

But gradually, he finds that the anger in his heart has actually been fading away.

Just then, Jiaweis's voice suddenly sounded:

Li Erniu is somewhat disappointed with himself, but he does not want to deceive himself.

Moreover, these pirates—any random one among them is enough to warrant execution several times over, especially someone like Hu Sha, a vicious bandit; firing a heavy machine gun at him for five minutes is not excessive.

Therefore, he need not discuss any conditions like 'surrender for survival' with these pirates, nor need he make any compromise.

The blade tip pierces the heart; one strike kills.

In other words, if you cannot guarantee your current psychological state, you are very likely to die in the mission, causing the system to reboot.

Moreover, at each level, the system can only reboot once; the second time, the system will abandon you, meaning you will truly die, with no chance of rebirth, nor return to your original world.

Liu Xiaotian was stunned by Jiaweis's words, then immediately asked:

"You mean I still have a chance to return to my original world?"

"sri, theoretically speaking, when the system upgrades to Platinum Level, you can perform script transitions in the multiverse space; however, I cannot confirm whether your original world belongs to such a multiverse space."
