C1 I Am a Pig Rearing Soldier!

"I'm so frustrated!"

Inside the pig farm of the 702nd logistics team, Tang Ming was feeding the pigs while sighing heavily. The dozen or so pigs in the pen had been fattened by him over the past six months. Ever since his arrival at the logistics farm, his days had been consumed by tending to these pigs.

"When will these days of raising pigs ever end?"

"I had envisioned joining the forces to hang out with Zhuang Yan and Gao, but while they're thriving in the combat units, I'm stuck here raising pigs!"

Indeed, Private Tang Ming was a time traveler.

He had journeyed to the world of the military TV drama "Special Forces 1," which featured characters like Zhuang Yan, Gao, and Hee Zhijun. This was the very reason he had enlisted.

However, due to his physical condition, he consistently ranked at the bottom in fitness and combat training during boot camp. Consequently, no unit wanted him, and he was assigned to the logistics farm to take care of pigs, a task he had now been doing for over half a year.

"Tang Ming, make it quick. Once you're done feeding the pigs, come out for assembly! The army's top brass are here for an inspection, and the whole regiment needs to be present. We can't afford to be late," called the voice of the logistics farm squad leader from outside.

"Almost finished, squad leader," Tang Ming replied, hurrying to complete his task. After feeding the pigs, he dashed back to the barracks to change into his uniform and joined the squad leader and several veterans at the comprehensive training field.

By then, the entire regiment, over a thousand strong, had assembled.

The logistics farm personnel were positioned at the very back, on the far side of the last row.

The Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, the 702nd's most elite unit, occupied the most prominent position.

Tang Ming didn't recall such a grand inspection from the TV series. He remembered the chief visiting the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company with Gao from the Wolf Fang unit.

"Could my transmigration have altered the timeline?" Tang Ming wondered.

Before long, the army commander arrived at the training ground, escorted by the Wolf Fang Special Troops.

"It's really Gao! The timeline must have shifted slightly," Tang Ming marveled silently.

After a brief conversation with Wang Zhiming, the commanding officer requested that the inspection begin. Rather than singling out any soldier, he called forward members of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, intending to select one or two individuals from their ranks for evaluation.

Tang Ming mused, "It seems that despite some discrepancies from the TV show's plot, the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company remains the focal point, with the rest of us merely spectators."

Watching Zhuang Yan and Chen Xiwa being chosen, Tang Ming couldn't help but feel envious. There was a time when he too had aspirations of carving out a distinguished career in the military. Sadly, while others became scouts, he ended up tending to pigs.

"Sensing the host's intense desire to become an exceptional soldier, the Marvel Hero System is now activated!" A voice suddenly echoed in Tang Ming's mind, sending a shiver through his body.

"What is this thing?" he wondered.

"A system for heroes?"

"Is this like those attribute systems that come with transmigrators? Do such things actually exist in this world?"

"System, are you there?" Tang Ming attempted to communicate telepathically.

"I am," the system responded.

"So there really is a system!"

"That means I won't have to raise pigs anymore."

Tang Ming was ecstatic.

"System, what exactly is the Marvel Hero System? Does Marvel Hero refer to those superheroes from the movies in A Country from my past life?" Tang Ming inquired.

"Yes," the system's mechanical voice clarified in his mind. "The Marvel Hero System, as you might guess, rewards the host with a special ability from a superhero in the comics after completing assigned tasks. Once integrated, you will possess strength akin to theirs!"

"Strength akin to theirs?" Tang Ming was dumbfounded. "But this is a military world. Are you trying to forcibly morph it into a science fiction universe?"

"The system now issues your first mission: present yourself for inspection to the commanding officer. Upon successful completion, you will receive bonuses to your physical attributes and skills!"

Tang Ming was astounded at the news.

"System, are you pulling my leg? Are you not aware of my marksmanship? I do want to get stronger, but my current marksmanship is downright terrible."

"If I screw this up, the Captain is going to have my head!"

"Is your presence here to help me or to make things worse?"

"The Host can open the Newbie Gift Bag to check if there are any rewards inside that can assist in completing this mission!"

"Newbie Gift Bag?"

Tang Ming was taken aback.

As he pondered, a white panel with rows of bold text materialized in his mind.

Name: Tang Ming

Occupation: Logistics Farm Pig Raising Recruit

Physical Fitness: Strength 90, Speed 90, Reflexes 90, Comprehension 90 (Normal range for people is 100, special individuals excepted!)

Skills: None

Newbie Gift Bag: 1

His physical condition couldn't even match up to an average person!

He felt incredibly weak!

"Well, I might as well open the gift bag and see what's inside!"

Tang Ming commanded, "System, open the Newbie Gift Bag!"

System: "Acknowledged! Opening the Newbie Gift Bag. Congratulations, Host, for acquiring the marksmanship skill of the Marvel hero Hawkeye (30% fusion level)."

Hawkeye?

Tang Ming was flabbergasted.

In the Marvel universe, Hawkeye was renowned for his shooting prowess.

But he wielded a bow and arrow, not a rifle!

The system clarified, "While Hawkeye uses a bow and arrow, the fundamental principles of shooting with bows and rifles are quite similar, requiring a unique and exceptional ability to calculate. With this skill integrated, the Host's rifle marksmanship could reach an impressively high standard!"

Tang Ming inquired, "What does a 30% fusion level mean?"

"It provides the Host with room for gradual improvement, encouraging you to strive harder in future missions and training! The higher the fusion level, the more formidable the marksmanship! Although it's only at 30% right now, this level of skill is more than sufficient to handle the military chief's shooting review!"

"That's a relief! System, I'm putting my trust in you this time!"

At that moment, the military chief had already chosen two recruits from the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company to demonstrate rapid rifle firing.

Predictably, the performers were Zhuang Yan and Chen Xiwa.

And they had already started their demonstration.

For Tang Ming to step forward now would be quite inappropriate.

Tang Ming was in no rush.

Following the script, after Zhuang Yan and Chen Xiwa's act, Foreman Gao from Wolf Fang was set to demonstrate a shooting display, showcasing the impressive marksmanship of the Wolf Fang Special Troops and to inspire the soldiers in his unit.

True to expectations, Zhuang Yan and Chen Xiwa received accolades from the military chief after their performance. He then invited Foreman Gao to demonstrate his prowess.

Foreman Gao had a bottle thrown into the air at a distance of 50 meters, then raised his rifle and fired without a gun sight, relying solely on his aim.

Each shot was followed by the shattering of a bottle. Even when Foreman Gao switched to his left hand, he continued to hit every target, leaving the onlookers in awe.

After successfully hitting seven or eight bottles, Foreman Gao finally lowered his weapon.

Approaching the bewildered Zhuang Yan and Chen Xiwa, he coolly pulled out a pair of sunglasses and said, "Rookie, shooting isn't about eyesight; it's about heart."

With that, Foreman Gao tapped his chest over his heart.

Though Zhuang Yan was reluctant to accept it, he had no grounds for argument; Foreman Gao's skill was beyond their reach.

"Gao, you're making us look bad in the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company!" Miao Lian said to Foreman Gao, his voice tinged with frustration.

Foreman Gao simply smiled and replied, "Miao, can't handle a little competition?"

"Me? Can't handle losing? If the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company had even half of Wolf Fang's training budget, my soldiers would outperform yours!" Miao Lian retorted, his pride wounded.

"Well, there's nothing to be done; you're not special forces," Foreman Gao said with a smile.

"Don't lose heart," the chief interjected, offering words of encouragement to Zhuang Yan and Chen Xiwa. "They've reached this level through extensive training. If you join the special forces, you can achieve this level too! I see great potential in you!"

"Sir! I'll surpass him in the future!" Zhuang Yan declared loudly.

The commander was taken aback.

In that moment, Foreman Gao addressed Zhuang Yan, "You need to prove your strength through action! Once you've outdone me, then you can repeat those words!"

Zhuang Yan clenched his jaw, remaining silent.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Report! Tang Ming, a pig farmer from the logistics unit, wishes to challenge the Wolf Fang Special Troops! I aim to show the commander that our troops can stand toe-to-toe with the Wolf Fang Special Troops!"

The crowd was stunned by the declaration.

A pig farmer from logistics dared to challenge the elite of Wolf Fang, the Soldier King?
