"Is it him? Yang Wei!"
Wu Tian recognized the person in the mobile video.
The middle-aged man looked at him with resentful eyes.
"Yang Wei? Who is he?" Zhao Yan asked.
If he dared to use that name, he must be tough.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Wu Tian said coldly, "He is a drug offender, your predecessor. He sacrificed his life to protect the civilians who accidentally entered the arrest scene during the capture of Yang Wei."
"He deserves to die! All of you deserve to die! You all deserve to die!" The middle-aged man shouted hysterically.
Zhao Yan stomped on his face, knocking out his teeth. "The ones who deserve to die are you and your father. Just wait, soon you'll be reunited with him."
Zhao Yan despised drug offenders the most.
The middle-aged man gasped heavily and stopped talking.
Then, everyone found the equipment for jamming and blocking signals and reestablished contact with headquarters.
"How are you all? Why did you suddenly lose signal earlier?" Luo Siming's voice came through.
Wu Tian looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Reporting to the captain, Team A has successfully completed the mission."
"Well done. Stay where you are, a helicopter will come to pick you up," Luo Siming said.
...................
The helicopter landed at Hidden Sword Camp.
Zhao Yan and his team jumped out energetically.
"Salute!" Luo Siming shouted.
Behind him, everyone saluted Zhao Yan and his team at the same time.
Zhao Yan and his team raised their hands in return.
Wu Tian approached Luo Siming and said, "Reporting to the captain! Hidden Sword Team A has successfully completed the mission. We have seven members present as expected. Please give further instructions!"
"Return to base!" Luo Siming said.
"Yes!"
Wu Tian turned and ran back to the formation.
Luo Siming had a smile on his face. "The enemy this time was stronger than expected, and it was a conspiracy specifically targeted at you. But you won the battle at zero casualties, and the higher-ups highly praised you."
"Um... Captain, it was all Li Fei's credit this time. He fought alone while we were just bystanders," Wu Tian said, feeling embarrassed.
Luo Siming was taken aback. "Are you kidding me?"
Although Li Fei was skilled, it was his first real battle, and he was facing dozens of heavily armed mercenaries and drug offenders. He fought alone against a group?
How did the situation suddenly become so fantastical?
"Captain, it may sound absurd, but it really was that absurd. You can see it for yourself by watching the footage," Meng Hui said helplessly, shrugging.
Half an hour later, everyone in the Hidden Sword Special Assault Team Command Group fell into deep silence.
"This guy... is a war god!"
"A single person equivalent to a special forces team?"
"There was a scene that was too close to see clearly, but we heard the sound of gunfire. How did he dodge it?"
After watching Zhao Yan's footage, they felt that the authors of military novels were still too conservative.
"I'm going to the military headquarters."
Luo Siming left with Zhao Yan's footage.
Soon, the footage of Zhao Yan's first combat mission caused a great sensation in the Yanzhou Military Region.
Because this was an unprecedented situation!
Discussions about Zhao Yan were held because there was no other warrior like him in the world.
He was a perfect war machine.
Capable of completing missions in any environment.
Someone suggested that it would be a waste to only use Zhao Yan's abilities as a soldier and that they should be taught to more people to create more individuals like him.
There is already consideration about whether to establish a new operational team within the Hidden Sword Special Assault Unit.
Zhao Yan would serve as both the team leader and instructor.
Of course, although Zhao Yan is incredibly talented, his time in the military has been relatively short. Therefore, there have been ongoing discussions about this matter, and no final decision has been made.
Soon after, due to Zhao Yan's outstanding performance in the recent operation, he was awarded first-class merit.
He was also promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant.
He's like an unstoppable medal-earning machine.
Despite being a new recruit, he already has two first-class merits and the rank of First Lieutenant. The batch of recruits who joined with him haven't even been promoted yet, let alone earned any merits.
Two months have passed since the exchange period.
.........
Three days later, on a regular afternoon.
"I say, how did you train like this?"
In the Hidden Sword Assault Team camp, Wu Tian looked at Zhao Yan as he effortlessly lifted a few hundred kilograms of logs, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
Wu Tian couldn't even lift that thing.
"I was born with divine strength," Zhao Yan replied, casually lifting the log with one hand while reaching for a water cup with the other.
He made it look so easy.
Wu Tian swallowed and said, "Brother, can you at least pretend to be tired? Can you stop making it seem like anyone can do what you do?"
"Pretend to be tired?" Zhao Yan took a sip of water and helplessly said, "I've never been tired, I don't know what it feels like, so I can't pretend."
"Damn!" Wu Tian was utterly speechless.
This guy was like a human beast.
Meng Hui walked over with a water cup and found a place to sit down. "Have you guys seen the news? The government forces and the rebels in Laya Country are fighting again."
Laya Country is a small coastal country in the Middle East, where warlords hold sway. They have small skirmishes every three days and major conflicts every five days.
But this time, it seems to be more serious.
"What does that have to do with us? Are they going to send us to maintain world peace?" Zhao Yan said casually.
Meng Hui shook his head and said, "You really lack sensitivity. They might send us to evacuate the citizens, after all, we're the closest."
"They've already started evacuating. They have special forces accompanying them, and besides, the rebels wouldn't dare to attack Xia Country nationals," Zhao Yan dismissed the idea.
When there is turmoil abroad, Xia Country nationals usually go to the Xia Country Embassy. The rebels and government forces generally refrain from attacking the Xia Country Embassy.
Otherwise, they would suffer a gruesome fate, turning a minor domestic conflict into an international crisis.
That's the advantage of a strong motherland!
Meng Hui was at a loss for words. "You do have a point."
Bang! Zhao Yan stood the log upright and delivered a punch to it before walking back to the dormitory.
"What, are you planning to smash it to pieces?" Wu Tian laughed and walked over to the log, giving it a pat.
Crack!
A faint sound was heard.
Immediately after, the thick log shattered into several pieces and fell to the ground.
Wu Tian and Meng Hui stared in disbelief, both turning their heads to look at Zhao Yan, but they only saw his back.
"Beast, you beast," Meng Hui muttered to himself.
Wu Tian glanced at his clenched fist and then at the shattered pieces of wood on the ground, his facial expression contorted in agony.
In the evening, everyone gathered in the cafeteria for dinner.
The television on the wall was broadcasting the news.
"At 3 p.m. today, a gang of ruthless rebels took a desperate move and stormed into the embassy, kidnapping some of our citizens as hostages. They issued a statement..."
In an instant, everyone looked up at the television simultaneously.
Soon after, the emergency assembly siren sounded.
Everyone immediately abandoned their bowls and chopsticks and rushed outside.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead?

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
