Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Preliminary Requirements: Minimum of five years of frontline combat experience, with strength evaluations at the level of low Silver or higher.
Other Requirements: The applicant must possess exceptionally high combat proficiency, strong combat skills, extensive experience, and command expertise. Preference will be given to retired soldiers.
Disabled, injured, and retired frontline warriors who met the requirements were eligible to apply.
Registration Requirement: Enter Breaking Dawn and pass the virtual instructor trial.
At the end of the recruitment notice, there was a line of words.
[Once the fire of faith is ignited, it will not be extinguished. Have you ever considered embarking on a new journey after returning to an ordinary life? Then, join us. Even if you no longer tread the frontline, let the youthful faces carry forward your faith on this journey.]
[Veteran, welcome to the team!]
The last sentence of the recruitment notice inexplicably poked Xiao Yu’s heart.
In his depressed years after leaving the army, he had thought of many ways to return to the front line, but all of them had failed.
Therefore, he took another pat; he wanted to become an academy teacher and nurture future warriors.
Let them carry his beliefs and continue on the path to the front line.
However, after sustaining severe injuries, his legs were broken, and his dantian, which stored Spiritual Qi, was left in a half-crippled state. Consequently, he was unable to instruct in actual combat.
If he were teaching theory, there were too many instructors in the academy who were more suitable than him.
This path was impossible for a cripple like him.
Looking at the announcement, the flames that had been extinguished in his heart suddenly lit up.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the glass door with a trembling body and stepped into the virtual game room.
The virtual gaming room was decorated in black and blue colors. It was filled with technology. There were 20 virtual gaming capsules inside. Each virtual gaming capsule was separated by opaque black glass.
More than half of the gaming capsules were green and unused.
He came to one of the glass doors. There was a price list pasted on it, detailing how to use the virtual gaming capsule and the price.
The price was not high and was affordable for civilians at only 15 yuan per hour.
After reaching out to press the “Start” button, the electronically synthesized voice sounded.
[Your identity has been verified. Charges will be deducted automatically during usage!]
The glass door opened at this moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu walked through the glass door.
According to the instructions, he changed his clothes and entered the gaming capsule.
After going through the naming and novice tutorial, Xiao Yu’s figure appeared in the center of the virtual city.
The scene stunned Xiao Yu.
He only wanted to give this virtual game a try. He did not expect this game to be so realistic that it almost simulated reality.
More importantly, his legs reappeared in the virtual world.
In disbelief, he subconsciously reached out and pinched his right leg.
The familiar pain feedback made his eyes turn red.
He suddenly realized the significance of the game’s publisher recruiting veterans.
This was not just a game. It had a goal to become a training ground.
Veterans possessed exceptionally strong combat abilities, but due to injuries, illnesses, disabilities, and various other reasons, they were compelled to retire. Nevertheless, the combat techniques and experience they had cultivated in this game could once again shine and reignite.
While feeling excited, he summoned the function panel according to the recruitment instructions.
He pulled down the menu and found the “Instructor Trial Mission”.
After tapping on it, the pop-up window appeared.
[Do you want to start the Instructor Recruitment Trial?]
“Yes!”
[The Instructor Recruitment Trial has begun. Trial Mission 1: Reach Diamond and above in ranked mode. Current: Unranked.]
Without hesitation, Xiao Yu decisively closed the page and opened the ranked mode.
For the next three days, Xiao Yu did not go offline.
In just three days, he had reached the Diamond rank.
His win rate had reached a terrifying 94.8%.
His many years of experience commanding at the frontline allowed him to quickly formulate a battle plan and lead the team to victory.
Individual kills accounted for more than 50% of the team’s participation.
His outstanding achievements were even screenshotted and uploaded to the latest Breaking Dawn forum. He became a hot topic among many players.
After completing the first trial, Xiao Yu accepted the second trial.
This trial aimed to select participants for the team battle ranking of a hundred people. It also mandated that they achieve commanding points above A-rank in every battle.
This was far more difficult than the first trial.
The 100-player ranking competition was filled with variables. The players in the game were all evenly matched, making it challenging to predict the outcome based on a single individual.
The ability to command the battlefield was especially important.
This time, Xiao Yu completed the assessment with extremely eye-catching data again.
His command score was maintained at the A-SS level.
After completing the two trials, a pop-up window appeared before Xiao Yu’s eyes.
[Entering the review stage. Your information has been saved. Please await further instructions!]
Seeing that he had passed the initial review, Xiao Yu was excited.
However, when he thought of his previous rejections, a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.
This time, he also did not have the certainty of success.
He summoned the function menu. He had not gone offline for a few days, so he chose to quit the game.
As the gaming capsule opened, the electronic voice confirmed the successful deduction of funds.
The surrounding holes began to absorb the nutrient solution.
After getting up and putting on his clothes, Xiao Yu subconsciously took out his phone to take a look.
He was anticipating it, yet fearful of failure; he couldn’t help but sigh.
Tiger Soul Research Institute.
In the training room.
Feng Qi sat in front of the screen and checked the email content.
At this moment, a new notification appeared in the lower right corner.
After tapping on the notification, a pop-up window immediately appeared. What entered his vision was a photo of a man with a haggard face.
As he flipped through, a smile appeared on Feng Qi’s face.
He was the commander of the Python combat team, the recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, and had seven years of commanding experience at the front line.
He did not expect to recruit a general as soon as he started planning to establish a virtual instructor team.
The information showed that the real Xiao Yu was disabled.
However, this was not a problem in Feng Qi’s eyes.
What he valued was Xiao Yu’s ability.
In Breaking Dawn, his abilities and consciousness could be imparted to students and new warriors through actual combat in the training room.
These precious combat techniques were priceless for Breaking Dawn and the construction of Star City’s combat power.
After examining Xiao Yu’s detailed information, Feng Qi took out his cell phone.
In the dark room, there was a large number of cigarette butts lying on the ground.
Xiao Yu’s eyes were red as he smoked one cigarette after another. From time to time, he would look at the cell phone on the table.
He had been dispirited for many years, but Breaking Dawn ignited the flame of hope in his heart.
He didn’t want to miss it.
The words on the recruitment announcement, “Let the youthful faces carry forward your faith on this journey,” held profound significance for him.
Inhaling deeply on the cigarette, the sparks swiftly spread in reverse.
He spat out a ball of white mist with trembling hands, his emotions fluctuating.
At that moment, the phone suddenly rang.
He immediately picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.
“Hello, I’m Xiao Li, the Aon staff member of the Star City Veterans Sanatorium. After reviewing the records, I noticed that you haven’t had a physical examination in five months. Would you like to schedule a physical examination?”
“Also, your prosthesis hasn’t been maintained for a long time. Do you need help with maintenance and repair?”
“No need.” Xiao Yu said solemnly.
“Don’t worry, all our services are free. As the recipient of the Medal of Outstanding Contribution, you can also enjoy additional benefits…”
Before the staff on the other end of the line could finish speaking, Xiao Yu forcefully hung up.
He knew he was disabled.
He also knew that this was the various support services provided by Star City to help retired veterans. The purpose was to let the veterans better adapt to their life after retirement.
Nevertheless, this sense of being treated especially made him quite resistant.
At that moment, the phone rang again.
“Is there no end to this?!”
After picking up the call, Xiao Yu, who was in an extremely bad mood, roared.
“What is it again?!
Hearing the roar, Feng Qi was stunned.
As expected of a big boss who had retired from the front line. He was imposing even when he answered the phone.
After a short moment of shock, Feng Qi said.
“Are you Xiao Yu, a retired veteran?”
“Yes, I am!”
“I’m in charge of the virtual instructor team recruitment. Do you have time to discuss your application?”
Xiao Yu, who was about to hang up, heard the other party announce his identity and immediately shivered. He quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand and grabbed his cell phone to his ear.
“Yes, of course. You can talk about anything you want!”
‘.???.’
Where did that imposing side of him go?!
