Chapter 2 Cultural Achievement System

  Su Jin lay on the bed, his hands behind his head, his face no longer smiling, but instead numb, his eyes staring blankly ahead.

  "Heh heh, even if I were to relive my life again, I would still be able to feel such deep despair. It seems that the resentment I had back then was truly profound!" Su Jin suddenly said with a light laugh.

  Su Jian is a reborn person who returned to 1997 from the future! Su Jian's life can't be said to be complicated. Three years later, he graduated from vocational school and was arranged by his father to join the army. After retiring from the army, he was assigned to work at a provincial newspaper through connections. Of course, he wasn't an editor or author, as this requires strong professional skills! He was just an administrative staff member. As a retired soldier who had transferred back to civilian life, although he wouldn't have much of a future in the newspaper industry, it was very stable and the work environment was quite comfortable.

  He then lived like an ordinary person, got married, had a family, and when he returned, he had just had a lovely little daughter! Unfortunately, he would never see this nameless daughter again. Thinking of this, Su Jing couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, revealing a sorrowful expression.

  Such a life is very ordinary and simple. If there's anything in his life experience that he truly can't forget, it would only be this matter that happened during this period of time!

  He mixes around in school because many students also mix around. He doesn't study hard in school because many students don't study hard either. He doesn't think what he does is right, but since many students do the same thing, then what's wrong with him doing it too?!

  But he didn't think that with Su Xingfeng's personality of rather being a shattered jade than an unbroken tile, he would absolutely not let him continue to idle away his years at Number One Middle School! He would use his own way to arrange Su Zhen's fate!

  But Su Xingfeng would never have thought that his self-righteous arrangement would cause so much harm to Su Zhan! If it were an adult, they might appreciate Su Xingfeng's good intentions, but the one he arranged for was just a middle school student, who had not experienced any setbacks or hardships, and lived in a greenhouse-like environment centered around himself every day.

  Until today, Su Jin still remembers the feeling of despair and helplessness when he was abandoned by the world after being discharged from the army, getting married and having children.

  Whether it's an awkward atmosphere or regret for what happened in the past, whether you understand or don't understand!

  Time will not stand still for anyone! Su Jin, who already has his own family and career, is no longer entangled in the present. People must always look to the future! However, it seems that heaven has played a big joke on him, just when he felt that life was perfect and his family was happy, he was sent back again!

  For Su Jian, who had been mixed up for n years in the future, rebirth would make him feel surprised, but it wasn't that hard to accept. After all, TXT website was known as the 8 millionth reborn and traversed army, and the phenomenon of rebirth and traversal had already made people around the world aware of it. However, thinking about his wife, daughter, parents in his previous life, he couldn't help but worry about how they would live after discovering that he had disappeared without reason. As for what kind of situation he was in now, whether it was time or parallel space, various gods said different things back then, Su Jian wasn't a scientist studying time or space, so he didn't know what phenomenon he was experiencing. However, fortunately, his personality was somewhat easy-going, and besides, he obviously had no right to oppose this irresistible force, so he just went with the flow.

  "Hehe, come to think of it, almost all reincarnated and transmigrated individuals have a personal divine artifact, I wonder if I do too." Su Jin thought with interest.

  "Drip, Cultural Achievement System activated, please host be aware!" A mechanical voice came through.

  "Wow! Speak of Cao Cao and he arrives!" Su Jin couldn't help but stare in shock.

  After some research, Su Jin finally roughly understood what this so-called Cultural Achievement System was. Simply put, in a certain period of time in the future, humanity, which had developed technology to its peak, finally developed the ultimate weapon of war, the Cultural Achievement System! Don't laugh, it's true. If traditional weapons were used to eliminate humans through force, then the Cultural Achievement System would eliminate them spiritually, and at the same time, turn them into their own, just like the legendary North Ming Divine Art, absorbing the enemy's internal strength for one's own use. Isn't that awesome?!

  In fact, in human history, military conquest can only achieve temporary unity, and to govern for a long time still relies on the power of civilization!

  The most notable example is China, which has been the center of the entire earth for thousands of years with its brilliant civilization.

  Even if in the future, Huaxia can achieve its own great rejuvenation and become the core of the earth again, its culture has also played a crucial role in it.

  Since the late World War II, after the development of nuclear weapons, major powers on Earth have developed nuclear weapons one after another, restraining each other. This has indefinitely postponed the outbreak of a third world war, as the cost of breaking out in combat is too great, with the greatest possibility being mutual destruction!

  The leaders of various countries have unanimously chosen restraint, and the whole world has begun to enter an era with peace and development as its theme. In this period, the means of war are mainly economic warfare and cultural aggression. Compared with the bloodiness of economic warfare, cultural aggression is even more silent!

  It is said that "entering quietly at night with the wind, and moistening things subtly without a sound." The war of culture is cruel but not obvious, intense but bloodless! When you realize it, the war has often already ended! More often than not, the war has already ended, but you haven't realized it yet!

  The cultural achievement system is the culmination of various cultural wars throughout human history! It includes a wide range of cultural materials, including literary works, scripts, films and television shows, games, and more. The core purpose is to assimilate other ethnic groups into one's own through cultural invasion!

  This divine instrument was originally developed with the hope that it would be brought to other worlds by humanity's vanguard, where it would carry out cultural aggression against the civilizations of those foreign continents. But for some unknown reason, this divine instrument inexplicably appeared on Su Jian's body and brought him back to life in 1997!

  "Haha, it seems that even heaven doesn't want me to be too ordinary!" Su Jin said with a smile as he looked at the system in his mind.

  At this time, Su Jin suddenly heard a movement outside the door, and it seemed to be his father! "It's already past twelve o'clock now, why isn't Dad sleeping?" Su Jin frowned and said in a low voice.

  After a while, a sound came over, "It's mom's footsteps!" Su murmured.

  Li Ping seemed to have occupied Su Jin's door for a while, then sighed and walked towards the living room.

  "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Li Ping said with concern.

  "Can't sleep! You're not sleeping either, are you?" Su Xingfeng sighed.

  "It's for Xiaojian's sake!"

  Ban Xiang Su sighed and said: "What else can be done!"

  "If you ask me, just let him continue at Yizhong, he's not the only one who's slacking off there. What young person doesn't love to have fun? Nobody else has dropped out of school!" Li Ping's voice came over.

  "Hmph! Others are others! I am me! As the son of Su Hangfeng, I won't be mixed up in school!" Su Hangfeng coldly snorted.

  "What's the use of sending him to a vocational school? He'll still end up being a mess!" Li Ping's voice also became agitated.

  Su Xingfeng fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Looking at Xiao Jin's current situation, it's impossible for him to attend university after high school! What's the use of only attending high school? Now, sending him to a vocational school is also my alma mater, I have some connections there. I've enrolled him in a 3+2 program, and when he graduates, he'll have a full-time junior college diploma. If we can pull some strings, maybe we can even get him a full-time undergraduate degree! That way, his educational background won't be too bad! Moreover, vocational school is different from high school, they teach practical knowledge. If Xiao Jin can learn something real, it will be easier for me to arrange a job for him in the future! I'm also thinking that while I'm still in this position, I should help him as much as possible so he can come out sooner. If I retire, I'm afraid he won't even be able to find a bowl of rice!"

  "Alas! I didn't expect you to think this way! Why didn't you discuss it with Xiao Jin?" Li Ping also fell silent, saying in a low voice.

  "What's the use of saying anything! Didn't we used to talk less about major principles? But can he listen? Now I'm about to lose hope, let's just go with the flow and wait for him to realize his mistakes!" Su Xingfeng said dejectedly.

  Su Jin's hands were clenched into fists, her fingernails digging deep into her flesh, with a faint hint of blood seeping out. Her teeth were tightly biting her lips, and two lines of hot tears fell from her eyes.

  Su Jin had never thought that Su Hangfeng's decision to send him to a business school was based on such deep consideration! When he grew up and entered society, if he thought about it carefully, he would not have been unable to think of the reasons behind it!

  But he always thought that his father sent him to business school because he couldn't bear the shame, wanted him to roll far away, and out of sight, out of mind!

  He never thought that as a father, no matter how disappointing he was, no matter how worthless he was, he is still his son! No father would not love his own son! For his own son, what does a little face mean?!

  Not to mention, for the sake of a little face, he ruined his son's future! He did everything for him, considering him! Some things may not be understood at the moment due to lack of experience or training, but he would never harm him!

  Su Jian gradually calmed down, his eyes revealing a resolute glint as he said softly: "Perhaps this is the reason why heaven gave me a second chance at life. Father, Mother, don't worry, I won't disappoint you, I will definitely achieve something!"

  ……

  Gucheng Financial and Trade School, formerly known as Gucheng Commercial School. The school has a history of 56 years. Speaking of Su Jin's father, Su Xingfeng, he graduated from this school back then, and now Su Jin is also studying in this school, which can be said to be following in his father's footsteps. However, during Su Xingfeng's time, vocational schools were considered more prestigious than high schools. In people's minds at that time, getting into a vocational school meant you could get a job as soon as possible, whereas going to high school would mean spending a few more years in school! Therefore, most students with excellent grades entered vocational schools back then. That era can be said to be the last glory of various technical schools. By Su Jin's time, however, vocational schools had completely declined.

  After all, after twenty years of reform and opening up, people's living standards have been greatly improved, and it is no longer an era where they cannot eat enough food or wear warm clothes. Parents no longer need to sacrifice their children's future in exchange for them to start working as soon as possible. Usually, only those students who really can't learn well and can't make it through high school will go to vocational schools.

  At the same time, many vocational schools that are very clear about their own status have changed from being arrogant in the past to now allowing students to enroll as long as they pay the tuition fees, and exams have become a mere formality. The school's curriculum is also relaxed, with three classes in the morning and two in the afternoon, no early self-study sessions, and evening self-study sessions that are completely free activities! To those high school students who are rushing to eat in the cafeteria every day, this place is like heaven on earth.

  Su Jian walked leisurely on the small road of Shangxiao, he had stayed here for three years in his previous life and was quite familiar with everything here. To be honest, the environment here is still pretty good. Flowers bloomed everywhere, green trees shaded the area. Teaching buildings, dormitories, laboratories, canteens, playgrounds, basketball courts, football fields, gymnasiums, cultural and sports activity rooms were all complete!

  What made Su Jin most satisfied was that, in response to the trend outside, a internet cafe was opened inside the school, which was also the computer classroom where students took computer classes! When students were in class, it was a classroom, and when they were not, it became an internet cafe! Moreover, it fully catered to the students' ideas and introduced package time consumption! The so-called package time consumption was different from the package night or package day consumption of external internet cafes, but rather was created based on the school's actual situation! For example, students had three hours between the last class in the morning and the first class in the afternoon, or three hours between the last class in the afternoon and the start of evening self-study. The school's internet cafe opened package time consumption based on these three hours, and students could surf the internet with their student ID, paying later! If they were short of money at the moment, they could even owe it! Throughout his vocational school years, Su Jin admired this measure of the school, feeling that the commercial school was indeed a commercial school! It fully embodied the business philosophy of "the customer is God" and practically taught students various skills for future business!
