He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

"Especially after the release of the 'United States Army' game, the effect was very significant. 40% of the new recruits gradually mastered the division's complex digital main combat equipment in just two months. This attracted great attention from the U.S. Department of Defense, and subsequently, more and more countries began to use military games."

"However, our military's progress has been slightly slower, only starting to develop its own military games in recent years. But this is not terrible; catching up is one of the strengths of our Chinese nation!"

A strong sense of national pride naturally flowed from Tang Xinyi's words.

Zhang Beixing nodded from time to time, indicating that he was listening attentively.

Tang Xinyi solemnly stated, "Games are not war, and war is by no means games, but game technology has greatly promoted a major transformation in the art of war and updated the way we fight."

The device's large screen lit up, and Tang Xinyi slowly stood up, letting out a long sigh.

"Regardless of how other leaders view it, I personally believe that military games are of great significance. As pioneers, we should complete them with a rigorous attitude. So today, I'm asking Captain Zhang Beixing to put in a lot of effort!"

“No problem!” Zhang Beixing gave her a look that said, “I’ve got this covered.”

A moment later, Zhang Beixing looked at the empty room, with only him and Tang Xinyi inside, and finally couldn't resist.

Zhang Beixing slowly began, "Um, where did An Ran go..."

Unfortunately, just as the words were spoken, the high-tech VR gaming device emitted a notification sound indicating successful startup.

"Link activated!"

The loud electronic notification sound echoed in the gaming office, completely drowning out Zhang Beixing's unfinished words.

Tang Xinyi turned around and looked at him in confusion: "Captain Zhang, what did you just say?"

Running to someone else's office to inquire about the whereabouts of the female soldier from the leader was somewhat embarrassing. When she asked him so seriously, Zhang Beixing quickly waved his hand and smiled, changing the subject.

"It's nothing urgent, Director Tang, let's proceed with the test first!"

Tang Xinyi hadn't really heard Zhang Beixing's words, and seeing that he changed the subject, she didn't press the matter further.
"Okay, then we'll hand over these devices to you and start testing right away."

As she spoke, Tang Xinyi turned around, picked up a Type 95 automatic rifle and a VR head-mounted stealth device, and handed them to Zhang Beixing.

"This gun is equipped with the latest wireless sensors, so it can be used like a real gun in the game, and the feel is exactly the same as a real gun."

"And this helmet, you'll put it on later, and it will take you into the game screen, creating an immersive experience."

Zhang Beixing casually took it and asked, "So what do I need to do later?"

"The game will have different levels and mission hints; just react accordingly to the hints."

"understood."

After Zhang Beixing put on his full gear, Tang Xinyi pressed the game start button.

In an instant, Zhang Beixing's originally pitch-black vision began to gradually change with light and shadow, and light and electricity converged into a vortex, as if to suck people into it. The special effects were very realistic.

Tang Xinyi gave the order: "The test begins!"

This military game also uses a first-person perspective.

With the help of VR equipment, Zhang Beixing could clearly see his hands and the gun in his hands, and the voices of his teammates seemed to be ringing in his ears.

After completing the tutorial levels, Zhang Beixing quickly became familiar with the basic operations, and his movements became increasingly skilled.

"I didn't expect I'd be so talented at games!" Zhang Beixing said with a smug smile.

But his smile soon faded, as the game's difficulty gradually increased over time.

To clear the game in the best possible condition, Zhang Beixing must be extremely focused.

Gradually, Zhang Beixing became more and more focused, and his movements became faster and faster.

The game missions became increasingly difficult, and Zhang Beixing could only make full use of his advantages, constantly maneuvering and dodging, sometimes leaping high into the air, sometimes crawling forward, dodging virtual artillery fire, and shuttling through a hail of bullets!

Time ticked by, and the challenges facing Zhang Beixing became increasingly severe.

To achieve a perfect score, Zhang Beixing dared not be distracted and focused entirely on immersing himself in the game world.

Before we knew it, the sun was setting and dusk was quietly descending.

This domestically produced military game, titled "Blade Unsheathed," is exactly as Tang Xinyi described.

It is a tremendous test of one's physical fitness!

Not to mention others, even Zhang Beixing's back was soaked with sweat after completing the entire test.

It's easy to imagine that it would be a huge question mark whether other people could even finish half of the test.

It seems that only those with the qualities of a top-tier soldier can complete all the mission assessments in the game.

After the test, Zhang Beixing took off his helmet and sat on the floor to breathe in the fresh air.

The scores on the big screen refreshed rapidly, and Tang Xinyi stared intently at the screen.

A moment later, the screen lit up with the words "Mission Completed," and then a victorious military song rang out.

"Congratulations on achieving perfect scores in all nine assessments, completing the arduous task of 'Sharp Blade Unsheathed,' and earning the title of Combat Hero!"

The electronic sounds of the equipment echoed in the room.

Tang Xinyi was astonished to hear that Zhang Beixing had achieved a perfect score in all subjects.

After a moment of stunned silence, she couldn't help but cheer excitedly.

"Wow! That's amazing, Captain Zhang! You're the first person to complete 'Blade' with a perfect score. Your name will definitely be on the leaderboards for this game in the future!"

Among the previous testers, very few could even complete all nine assessments, let alone get a perfect score!

Before Zhang Beixing, only Zhuang Yan of Lone Wolf had passed all nine assessment items, and even so, he barely passed.

Compared to Zhang Beixing's perfect score, it's completely incomparable!

No wonder Tang Xinyi was so shocked.

This is the first perfect score case in the history of military games, both domestically and internationally. Once she uploads the data, Zhang Beixing's name will surely become famous at home and abroad!

Looking at the score on the big screen, Tang Xinyi couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"I knew it! I definitely didn't choose the wrong person!"

Tang Xinyi turned to look at Zhang Beixing, her voice filled with excitement.

"Captain Zhang, you are truly a great contributor to our military games department!"

However, Zhang Beixing did not respond to Tang Xinyi's cheers.

At that moment, a notification sound rang indicating that the system space was available for upgrade.

"Ding, would you like to upgrade the dimensional space?"

Zhang Beixing issued the order without hesitation.

Upgrade confirmed!

Seeing Zhang Beixing bow his head and remain silent, Tang Xinyi assumed he was exhausted, so she quickly stopped her excited shouts and quieted down, hoping to let Zhang Beixing get some rest.

Tang Xinyi smiled slightly at Zhang Beixing, who was squatting on the ground in a daze, then turned around and walked to the equipment control panel to start collecting and organizing data.

With Zhang Beixing's order, the dimensional space was immediately upgraded.

"Ding! Dimensional space expansion complete, capable of storing ten cubic meters!"

Upon seeing the upgrade information, Zhang Beixing rolled his eyes in disappointment. He had gone through all that trouble, like a monkey doing somersaults and wading through mud (virtually), only to find that the dimensional upgrade was merely an expansion of storage space. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Zhang Beixing sighed softly, trying to console himself.

"Oh well, something is better than nothing."

Zhang Beixing shook his head and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"It's good that there's more space. Next time, I can just move an armory into battle, and the leaders won't have to worry about us running out of ammunition anymore!"

At this moment, the system prompt sounded again.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the title of Combat Hero! Title Achievement +6, new features unlocked!"

Zhang Beixing was taken aback upon hearing this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

A new feature has been unlocked?

Haha, it's true what they say: you can't force flowers to bloom, but you can grow willows without thinking!
Zhang Beixing asked impatiently, "By the way, system, what new features have been unlocked this time?"

System: "A new scanning function has been added to the Dimensional Space."

Zhang Beixing was filled with doubt.

The system explained: "When the host encounters an emergency and is unable to concentrate on reading, they can choose to consume 300 merit points to activate the scanning function, instantly imprinting the contents of the books stored in the space into their mind and gaining the qualification to retrieve them!"

After hearing the explanation, Zhang Beixing suddenly understood.

Got it, so this is the super-enhanced version of super-fast reading.

It saves you the time of reading with your eyes; you can extract information directly.

It sounds convenient, but it costs 500 merit points each time, which is ridiculously expensive!
Zhang Beixing sighed silently.

"It's not very useful; I still prefer the feeling of reading physical books!"

Well, it's another feature that's temporarily useless; it's better than nothing anyway.

However, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and unlocking a new function is an unexpected surprise. Zhang Beixing felt much better and a smile appeared on his face.

They say no, but their actions tell a different story.

After the dimensional space upgrade was completed, Zhang Beixing let out a long sigh of relief and slowly came back to his senses.

He looked up and saw Tang Xinyi holding a laptop, busy transferring data in front of the device.

Zhang Beixing stood up, walked behind her, and greeted her.

"Director Tang."

Tang Xinyi turned around at the sound of her voice, "Captain Zhang, you've rested so quickly?"

Zhang Beixing boasted jokingly.

"There's no way around it, my physical fitness is just that good, I was born to be a top soldier."

Then, he changed the subject, frowned slightly, and asked with a hint of doubt, "But Director Tang, I have a small question about this game."

"Yes, please speak frankly. Identifying and resolving problems is the responsibility of our Military Games Office."

Zhang Beixing glanced at the equipment in front of him and slowly spoke.

"Well... in short, I feel this game is not very friendly; it's completely Abyss difficulty."

Tang Xinyi asked, puzzled, "The Abyss is...?"

Zhang Beixing answered seriously: "It's even harder than hell, the difficulty is simply outrageous, insane!"

"Forget about getting a high score, just passing all the assessments is incredibly difficult. If this kind of training intensity were in real life, it would be deadly!" Zhang Beixing exclaimed dramatically. "It's simply not something ordinary people can handle. It doesn't seem suitable for large-scale equipment training in our army, does it?"

Listening to Zhang Beixing's eloquent speech, Tang Xinyi's eyes lit up.

"Haha, Captain Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. You found the problem so quickly!"

She explained with a smile, "This military game wasn't originally intended for all officers and soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Beixing became even more puzzled.

what?
Is this not aimed at all officers and soldiers?
What is the purpose of spending so much money and effort to develop such a game?
Before Zhang Beixing could ask a question, Tang Xinyi took the initiative to continue the introduction: "You can tell from the name of this military game, 'Sharp Blade Unsheathed,' its main purpose is to cultivate individual soldiers' elite combat capabilities."

"The target audience for this training is not ordinary soldiers, but special forces soldiers. The goal is to train special forces soldiers into elites among them, so it is naturally impossible to be at the normal difficulty level."

After listening, Zhang Beixing suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's how it is. To put it simply, this is a game developed to create a legendary soldier!

"Of course, after collecting the data, we will also modify and optimize the game, appropriately reducing the difficulty. This is one of the main purposes of the test. I believe that in the future, our army will definitely be able to rely on..."

Tang Xinyi's voice continued to echo in his ears.

Listening to Tang Xinyi's enthusiastic and eloquent speech, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but chuckle softly to himself.

The initial design of the "King of Soldiers" game was good, but unfortunately, it was still a bit too idealistic.

Because true kings of soldiers can only be born by undergoing countless life-or-death trials in the bloody storms of the battlefield!
Military games can't create elite soldiers; at best, they're just supplementary training.

However, Zhang Beixing did not want to dampen Tang Xinyi's enthusiasm, so he did not say anything more about it.

After all, if this Abyss game were used as a daily training subject for special forces, it would definitely lead to a significant improvement in physical fitness, if nothing else!

After a moment of silence, Zhang Beixing, still unable to see An Ran, finally couldn't contain himself any longer.

He put away his lazy smile and looked steadily at Tang Xinyi, asking her a question.

"Um, Director Tang, I was just about to ask you, why didn't I see An Ran today?"

Tang Xinyi, who was excitedly explaining the game's process to Zhang Beixing, was taken aback when she heard this question.

what?
safely?

Upon suddenly hearing Zhang Beixing inquire about An Ran, a strange look flashed across Tang Xinyi's beautiful eyes.

Although it was fleeting, Zhang Beixing still managed to capture it precisely.

However, Zhang Beixing was more concerned about An Ran's whereabouts at the moment, so he didn't take it to heart.

Tang Xinyi put down her computer, her expression returning to normal. After a moment of silence, she sighed helplessly.

"You don't know yet, do you? An Ran has gone on a secret mission."

A secret mission?

Upon hearing this jarring word, Zhang Beixing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his tone became somewhat urgent.

"What secret mission? How long ago was that?"

Tang Xinyi replied, "It's been more than half a month, just before you went out to sea to carry out your mission."

"Sigh, An Ran is just so stubborn. No matter how I try to persuade her, she insists on going to the front lines. Now that I'm no longer her capable assistant, I'm always running around like crazy."

Zhang Beixing didn't hear a word Tang Xinyi said after that. (End of Chapter)
