In her past life, although she hadn't persisted in joining the army, her love for the military had led her to read a vast number of books, and her grasp of military theoretical systems was relatively complete. With just a bit of review, she believed she wouldn't have any problems.
Moreover, she had an excellent memory and was good at memorizing texts; she was also competent in the sciences. However, she still needed to practice more military calculation problems.
The only thing that gave Song Lili a headache was how she could get into Xilin Military Academy without Wen Nian noticing from right under his nose.
She didn't want to go through the trouble of persuading Wen Nian again.
Just one word from Wen Nian, and all her efforts would be in vain; no military academy would dare to admit her.
In this country, was there anyone who could deceive the President like that?
"It can't be that hard, right? Give you a new identity, and with that, you can apply to Xilin Military Academy. Tell your dad and Wen Nian that you're going on a world tour; how would they find out?"
"..."
Lu Xiaoer had a lollipop in her mouth, her fingers darting swiftly over the keyboard, seemingly unbothered by Song Lili's predicament.
Song Lili watched as the computer screen constantly refreshed with personal information pages, until the screen finally froze on a near-identical face with a completely unfamiliar name and personal details...
"Let's use this one. This person looks about seventy to eighty percent like you; that should be enough."
Lu Xiaoer shrugged her shoulders, seemingly having solved Song Lili's problem with ease.
As Song Lili was considering the feasibility of this plan, Lu Xiaoer sat cross-legged, her gaze fixed intently on Song Lili,
"But seriously, you want to keep it a secret from your dad, and you don't want your stepmom to know, which I can understand, but Wen Nian is already the President. Do you really think he still cares about your childhood friendship?"
"...Huh?"
"The man has a country to run; he might not have the time to worry about whether you're joining the army. Don't flatter yourself, alright!"
Song Lili smiled and skirted around her words, "Ear Lu, can I really use this identity?"
"Of course! This person's parents are dead, and she only has a five-year-old little brother. She's more miserable than you, a virtual one year older than you are. This area does have a government military recruitment policy. If you serve for a year, you can get quite a lot of subsidies, but this girl has a little brother to take care of and can't join the army. You can give her some money, and then use her identity to apply for the military academy."
"...She really does look a lot like me."
"Actually, there are plenty of people who look alike. You don't need a perfect resemblance; seventy to eighty percent is enough, and the rest can be fixed with makeup and dressing."
"It seems... I can only give it a try."
Taking this risk was, after all, more reliable than convincing Wen Nian.
"But hacking into your dad's computer like this, is it really okay?"
Lu Xiaoer raised an eyebrow, "My dad said what's his is mine."
"So, as the head of the Population Intelligence Bureau, he's yours too?"
"Song Lili, if you want my help, then cut the chatter."
Lu Xiaoer stood up, pulled Song Lili over to a chair to sit down, "Now, memorize the background of this person properly."
Song Lili smiled and responded, then started to memorize.
Lu Xiaoer sat on the bed, watching the serious Song Lili, and felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
"I thought you had given up on the idea of applying for Xilin Military Academy."
"Is that so..."
"At New Year's, I asked you which university you were planning to apply to, and you said you wanted to apply to a military academy. Last month, you said you gave it up because there was something else you wanted to do."
"... I seem to have said that."
