Chapter 67 Get out of here and join the army!
As the point in time changed, Qin Wuying's clothing, identification documents, and currency also changed.
If you're going to time travel, you have to travel through the whole thing at once.
Qin Wuying looked back, this time the anchor point was the lamppost in front of him.
"The third one counting from that bakery."
After silently noting down the location of the lamppost, he headed towards the medical examination area he had just seen.
The young people who came for the physical examination were divided into two lines, and there were quite a few people in each line.
"Sir, would you please buy a newspaper? It has the latest headlines!"
Qin Wuying turned his head and saw a little boy carrying many newspapers tugging at his clothes.
Seeing this, he took out two coins and handed them to the other person.
The newspaper articles weren't particularly interesting; they were just the latest developments in the war.
However, Qin Wuying paid special attention to the time.
At this point, the great battle had reached a critical stage where it was a matter of life and death.
The government is urging more young people to enlist in the military to increase the number of soldiers.
It's likely that Steve Rogers was influenced by this atmosphere back then.
"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"
After much effort, Qin Wuying finally squeezed into the line for the physical examination.
If nothing unexpected happens, Steve should be in this area.
According to the king, the Time Stone will send the object to the most correct place when it is used for teleportation.
Although I don't know what the standard for "correctness" is regarding the Time Stone.
While waiting in line, Qin Wuying kept looking around, trying to spot his target.
"Dude, you don't look like a local."
Just then, a young man standing behind Qin Wuying took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Oh dear, I forgot about that kind of question.
"Really? I just look a bit different."
Qin Wuying turned around and looked at the other person with a complicated expression.
"Don't worry, buddy, I'm not racist, really."
Seeing that Qin Wuying seemed somewhat unhappy, the other party quickly tried to clarify things.
"Okay, then I'm very happy."
After saying that, Qin Wuying turned his head away, not wanting to get too involved with irrelevant people.
These days, as long as you make a contribution, it doesn't matter who you are.
Another person, who appeared to be a friend of the other, added from the side.
However, Qin Wuying ignored them.
As I moved further forward in my line, it was almost time for my medical examination—
However, they still couldn't find any trace of Steve Rogers.
Will Captain America register for military service before we even find him?
"Young man, do you really want to join the army?"
A few minutes later, the soldier in charge of information registration asked impatiently.
Qin Wuying hesitated for his next move, prompting complaints from the people queuing behind him.
"Has a person named Steve Rogers been here?"
After thinking for a moment, Qin Wuying spoke.
"We have no obligation to inform you, please leave immediately."
Upon hearing that Qin Wuying had not joined the army but had come to inquire about others, the soldiers' attitude immediately turned hostile.
"Watch your language, you bastard."
Qin Wuying was prepared for this situation and produced the altered identification document.
The document contained a detailed fabrication of basic information, including Qin Wuying's military rank of lieutenant general.
"I'm sorry, sir! I'll find it for you right away!"
The soldiers visibly panicked, quickly looking down to search for documents to cover their embarrassment.
Standing guard for half a day was already annoying, and now I've accidentally offended the general!
"Sir, no record of Steve Rogers has been found."
"Do your job well, Private."
"Yes, sir!"
After seeing Qin Wuying off with a standard military salute, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Wuying left the medical examination site amidst the astonished gazes of the young people in line.
That's strange. Could it be that Steve hasn't arrived yet?
Qin Wuying raised his hand and glanced at his watch; it was only a little past three in the afternoon.
He decided to wait patiently in the same spot.
Perhaps in a few tens of minutes or two hours, Steve will come here for a medical check-up...
Fifteen minutes... Qin Wuying read the newspaper three times;
Forty minutes... Qin Wuying finished reading a newly published fashion magazine;
An hour and a half later... Qin Wuying fell asleep leaning against the roadside.
Did someone throw a coin at my feet during that time?
In any case, when he woke up, he found the sun was setting and night was about to fall.
The long lines for physical examinations have now dwindled to just a few people.
Steve Rogers is not in this either.
"Damn it, did I sleep too long and miss it?"
Qin Wuying stood up, shook his head, and stretched his limbs.
Let's find a hotel to stay in for the night.
"Sir, would you like to buy a newspaper? We have the latest war headlines."
Just then, the newsboy's voice reached my ears again.
Qin Wuying turned her head and saw that the little boy was selling newspapers to a pedestrian on the street.
The man being sold newspapers had blond hair, was thin and short, and was wearing a jacket and jeans.
"Hiss...?" Since they were a little far apart, Qin Wuying moved a little closer to observe.
That's Steve Rogers! He actually showed up at a time like this.
"Hahaha, this is truly a stroke of luck!"
Qin Wuying straightened her clothes and ran to Steve.
"Hello sir, I am a lieutenant general from the ×× unit."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. How can I help you?"
After he showed his identification, Steve's attitude became noticeably more serious and formal.
Seeing this, the newsboy wisely moved aside.
Qin Wuying patted the little boy's head and bought all the newspapers.
Without the little guy's shout, he wouldn't have found Steve.
"Young man, what's your name? You must be here to join the army, right?"
Qin Wuying pretended not to know Steve and asked him with feigned concern.
"Steve, sir. I'm sorry, I can't enlist."
Why?
"Because I feel there are better ways to serve my country."
"...Who said that?"
"That's what the person in charge told me when I went for my first medical checkup."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wuying frowned and began to think.
Steve Rogers is not one to give up easily.
Even if I fail the medical exam multiple times, even if I get a "failed" stamp every time—
Steve will keep trying again and again.
It was precisely this quality that ultimately won over the doctor who created the super soldier serum.
But what's going on now?
That guy, whose character was stronger than anyone else's, actually gave up joining the army?
"Can you tell me how that person tried to persuade you?"
"He advised me that working hard, donating to the war effort, and buying defense bonds could also make a significant contribution."
Qin Wuying slapped his forehead.
No wonder the S.H.I.E.L.D. files said this guy never missed a single tour.
So they went to see the show specifically so they could buy defense bonds!
"No way!" Qin Wuying shouted sternly, "You get the hell out of here and join the army!"
