He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

In fact, Zhang Beixing is quite interested in games.

Looking back, in order to prepare for the highly competitive college entrance examination, my family forbade me to touch any electrical equipment except for electric lights.

Forget about playing PC online games, even playing on the Little Tyrant game console is strictly prohibited!
I haven't played games in years, and my hands are really itching to get back to them.

Upon hearing that the new mission was to experience military games, Zhang Beixing not only did not resist, but was actually quite eager to try it.

"A military game?" Suppressing his excitement, Zhang Beixing asked calmly, "Sounds interesting. When does it start?"

Seeing that Zhang Beixing agreed, Fan Tianlei immediately replied with a smile.

"Just go to the Military Games Office and find Director Tang this afternoon. She specifically asked you to participate, so don't let her down."

Upon hearing Fan Tianlei mention Tang Xinyi, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but reminisce about the times he used to tease An Ran.

As Tang Xinyi's assistant, An Ran should also be working in the Military Games Office at this time, right?
Zhang Beixing seemed to suddenly remember something and blurted out the question out of curiosity.

"By the way, does this military game, which was independently developed by our army, have a name?"

"Of course there is," Fan Tianlei nodded firmly. "The game is called—Blade Unsheathed!"

Military games, let your blades be drawn!
Not bad, very powerful, a good name.

Zhang Beixing smiled slightly: "Number five, I'll go prepare now."

"Yes, go ahead!" Fan Tianlei nodded heavily.

Zhang Beixing's smile grew even brighter.

"Are you sure there's nothing else?"

Fan Tianlei feigned confusion: "Other things? What else could it be? There's really nothing wrong."

"Oh, I'm glad you're alright. I'll be going now."

After Zhang Beixing finished speaking, he turned and left. Just as he was about to step out of the office, Fan Tianlei suddenly called him back, pretending to suddenly realize something.

"Oh, come on, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Zhang Beixing stopped at the office door, his hand already on the doorknob. Hearing the call, he calmly turned around, looking at Fan Tianlei with a meaningful gaze.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Zhang Beixing's gaze, Fan Tianlei secretly grumbled to himself.

That bastard Zhang Beixing is getting harder and harder to fool.

It seems I'll need to learn some new tricks for outsmarting others in the future!

Fan Tianlei snapped out of his thoughts, coughed lightly, crossed his hands on the table, and spoke slowly in a low voice.

"As the captain of the Red Blood Cell team, I do have a personnel transfer issue that I need to discuss with you seriously. This matter is related to the future development prospects of the Red Blood Cell team."

Zhang Beixing smiled slightly upon hearing this; it was indeed his familiar style of deception. No matter the matter, he always exaggerated its severity.

"We live in a time of peace, where people enjoy a comfortable and prosperous life. But the dangers and challenges of the world have never truly left us."

"If war breaks out one day, special forces will be the country's first line of defense, and also its last line of defense. Their importance is self-evident."

"The mission of special forces is always to be at the forefront, overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and repel all enemies who dare to invade China!"

"Special forces soldiers are the bravest warriors, but they also face enormous dangers."

Fan Tianlei said in a solemn tone.

"War has a dual impact on people's physical and mental well-being. Physical wounds heal easily, but psychological trauma is difficult to heal. Therefore..."

After all that buildup, Zhang Beixing was practically yawning. Then, the conversation took a sudden turn, and the real purpose was finally about to be revealed!

Fan Tianlei remained calm and looked up at Zhang Beixing, who had a smile on his lips.

Although he hid it well, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy inside, and forced himself to continue speaking.

"So, considering the mental health of each special operations soldier, the higher-ups are going to assign a special instructor to the Red Cell unit. You know this instructor; he's one of the best soldiers I've ever trained, he..."

“Number Five, you mean Gong Jian, right?” Zhang Beixing interrupted.

Fan Tianlei was taken aback.

"Hmm? You've already met?"

"Yes, we met just the day before yesterday morning."

Fan Tianlei pressed further, "So what do you think of Gong Jian as a candidate?"

Zhang Beixing answered sincerely, "I knew from basic training that Instructor Gong Jian was a good soldier and a good officer. He could absolutely be the most reliable comrade-in-arms, but..."

Upon hearing the word "but," Fan Tianlei's brows immediately furrowed.

Zhang Beixing said firmly, "But!"

"As the captain of the Red Cell team, I disagree with this appointment and reassignment of the instructor."

Fan Tianlei confirmed with a troubled expression.

"You don't agree?"

"Correct."

"Why?" Fan Tianlei asked. "Are you worried that the position of instructor will affect your command authority as the team leader?"

Before Zhang Beixing could speak, Fan Tianlei hurriedly offered an explanation.

"If that's the case, you don't need to worry at all."

"The red blood cell instructors only play a supporting role. In terms of rank, you are still the highest commander of the red blood cells, and that will not change."

Zhang Beixing was too lazy to continue the negotiation. He knew Fan Tianlei's intentions perfectly well, so he stated his position directly.

"What should be done if the political instructor and the captain disagree on the same situation on the battlefield?"

Fan Tianlei readily agreed, "Of course, the captain's orders shall prevail!"

Zhang Beixing shook his head and said in a pragmatic manner.

"But the team members are not you."

He retorted firmly, "When faced with different instructions from two superiors, the team members will inevitably find themselves in a dilemma."

"This makes it impossible for them to react quickly in the first instance. On the battlefield, even a second of hesitation can determine life or death, or even lead to the failure of the entire mission!"

After hearing Zhang Beixing's rebuttal, Fan Tianlei couldn't help but gasp slightly.

I have to admit that Zhang Beixing makes a lot of sense.

Forbidden!

On the battlefield, if a commander issues chaotic orders, it can indeed have fatal consequences.

There's a saying: "The darkest place is under the lamp."

Fan Tianlei only thought that Gong Jian was an excellent commander and that joining the team would enhance the strength of the Red Cells, but he overlooked a crucial issue.

Gong Jian, the smiling tiger, hides a man-eating tiger beneath his warm smile!
Gong Jian was a soldier personally trained by Fan Tianlei. Fan Tianlei knew him well; he would never be willing to be a babysitter for the red blood cells.

With two such strong individuals like Zhang Beixing and Gong Jian on the same team, both in command positions, team unity will indeed become a difficult issue.

This time, he hadn't considered things carefully.

Seeing Fan Tianlei's expression gradually soften, Zhang Beixing felt even more that the three hundred merit points were well spent!
"In that case, let's put this matter on hold for now. I'll discuss it with my superiors before making a decision."

"I hope my superiors will seriously consider my opinion. I'm going to prepare for the military game test now."

Zhang Beixing took his leave. Just as he stepped out of the office, the long-absent system notification sound rang out crisply.

"An active mission has been issued. Please achieve a perfect score in the military game test!"

"Reward for successful mission: Your personal dimensional space will receive an expansion upgrade."

Expansion and upgrade?

Upon hearing about the mission reward, Zhang Beixing immediately recalled the complete system panel in his mind.

Name: Zhang Beixing

Power: 47

System reminder: Acquired skills and titles can be displayed in a collapsed manner.

Sure enough, behind the dimensional space, Zhang Beixing saw a notification indicating that he was waiting for an upgrade.

What will the dimensional space look like after the upgrade?

Is it an increase in storage capacity? Or the introduction of new features? Or some other change?
Zhang Beixing suddenly felt a surge of curiosity.

That afternoon, after enjoying a hearty lunch with Squad Leader Lao Gao, Zhang Beixing arrived early at the military games office of the Langya Special Operations Brigade.

Filled with anticipation and excitement for the game rewards, Zhang Beixing knocked on the door of the Military Games Office.

"Dong dong dong."

As soon as the knocking sounded, a young woman responded from inside the house.

"Please come in! The door is unlocked."

The owner of the voice was clearly Tang Xinyi.

Today, Zhang Beixing's ability to recognize sounds has reached a state of perfection.

Without realizing it, I focused my attention and instantly caught all the sounds in the room.

There was only the sound of one person's footsteps in the office, their movements light and agile, clearly indicating that they were an expert in combat.

Zhang Beixing knew that Tang Xinyi had also been a member of the special forces. Although he had never paid special attention to her before, hearing her light footsteps now, he could see the whole picture from a glimpse.

Judging from the sound of her footsteps alone, Tang Xinyi's fighting skills are probably only slightly inferior to He Chenguang and Xu Tianlong.

For a woman to reach such a level in the military, she must have made unimaginable efforts.

Her breathing was slightly disordered as she spoke, suggesting she was busy with some matters and had no time to open the door.

A month ago, on the last day of the Red Cell Devil Training Month, Zhang Beixing led his team to hunt down the escaped Scorpion.

They unintentionally saved Tang Xinyi and An Ran's lives. Later, Tang Xinyi and An Ran served as instructors for the red blood cells. They were already familiar with each other. Since they were both soldiers, they naturally didn't need to worry about the usual awkwardness between men and women.

After obtaining permission from the other party, Zhang Beixing immediately pushed open the door and entered.

With a creak, the door opened.

Whether for security reasons or equipment storage requirements, the indoor lighting was quite dim.

At this moment, the intense sunlight from outside flooded in, and Zhang Beixing stood against the light, like a young deity from the underworld, his feet treading on darkness and his body draped in light.

Upon entering, Zhang Beixing curiously looked around, taking in what this legendary military game office actually looked like.

Looking around, the spacious, factory-like area is filled with LCD screens of various sizes and shapes.

Some screens were lit up, running various codes, while others were not yet powered on, their screens completely black.

Among them were even several large, futuristic-looking devices, their bodies shimmering with a ghostly blue light and humming as they operated, currently in standby mode.

Zhang Beixing scanned the area and finally spotted Tang Xinyi in the corner.

She was indeed alone in the room. As for An Ran's whereabouts, Zhang Beixing had no idea, assuming it was just bad luck that they hadn't met.

At this moment, Tang Xinyi, wearing only a black military vest, was bent over a machine, intently and sweating profusely as she busied herself with something.

Her graceful S-curve and mature figure with its prominent breasts and buttocks added a beautiful touch to the interior.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Tang Xinyi straightened up and turned around.

When she saw that the person who came was Zhang Beixing, a surprised smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Captain Zhang? What brings you here!"

Why are you here?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing secretly curled his lip. Shouldn't you be asking yourself this question?

If you and Fan Tianlei hadn't specifically requested it, I wouldn't have had to make this special trip.

While secretly complaining, Zhang Beixing suddenly felt playful and stood at attention, solemnly saying:
"Report to the chief!"

"Zhang Beixing, leader of the Red Cell Special Operations Team, reporting for duty! On orders from Chief of Staff Fan, I have come to assist in the military game testing!"

Tang Xinyi wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"No, no, Captain Zhang, don't scare me. I'm a captain, and you're a major. You should be the superior officer, and I should be the one saluting you."

After speaking, she immediately straightened her posture without hesitation, put her feet together, and gave a standard military salute.

Tang Xinyi, her eyes fixed straight ahead, spoke in a clear and crisp voice: "Captain Tang Xinyi from the Military Games Office thanks Captain Zhang for his guidance!"

Zhang Beixing returned the military salute, and the two exchanged a knowing smile.

"Director Tang, since we're all old acquaintances, let's not waste time. Come on, when do we start the test? I'm all ready!"

Seeing Zhang Beixing's eager look and recalling the situation of the previous batches of game testers, Tang Xinyi was slightly worried.

She kindly reminded him, "This military game test is different from the past. It will be extremely physically and mentally taxing. Captain Zhang, would you like to rest for a while before continuing?"

Zhang Beixing waved his hand dismissively.

"No need, I'm in great shape, let's get started as soon as possible!"

"Start... uh, okay, I understand."

Seeing Zhang Beixing's confidence, Tang Xinyi said no more and immediately began preparations.

She turned around and walked to the large piece of equipment that Zhang Beixing had just noticed, and bent down to operate the keyboard to debug the machine.

It would take some time to start up, and Zhang Beixing waited patiently on the side.

Tang Xinyi casually asked, "Captain Zhang, did you know anything about military games before?"

"I've heard No. 5 mention some of it, but I'm not very familiar with it. I rarely play games."

"Shall I give you a brief introduction?"

"Sure, I'm just killing time anyway."

Zhang Beixing answered casually, his gaze wandering around the room.

Tang Xinyi began her explanation:
"Currently, the most popular military game in the world is Call of Duty, released by the United States in 2003, which has sparked a wave of military game education in the armed forces."

Zhang Beixing asked in surprise, "Call of Duty? Isn't that a common single-player game in internet cafes?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Tang Xinyi said with a smile, “Although it’s a work aimed at the general public, it did promote the birth of orthodox military games.”

Zhang Beixing nodded and continued listening to Tang Xinyi's introduction. (End of Chapter)
