Super Soldier Program

Inside the underground office of the Training Base's chief person in charge.

Kyle Dove's personal file:

Male, 22 years old, 178 cm tall, 68 kg.

Born in 1921, hometown located at 199 Harlem Street, Brooklyn District, New York, USA.

Current family status: single. Both parents were American soldiers who died honorably in a secret war in 1935 and were posthumously recognized as martyrs.

Passed the physical examination at the World Expo recruitment office this year and became one of the new recruits selected for the Super Soldier Program, assigned to base training.

On the first day of recruit training, he competed in marksmanship against Captain Brant. Relying on his exceptional pistol skills, Kyle achieved a flawless victory.

On the second day of recruit training, he sparred with Captain Joseph in close-quarters combat and later lost due to exhaustion. However, three days later, the two faced off again, and Kyle won decisively.

On the third day of recruit training, ...

Agent Carter recommended him as the first choice for Super Soldier.

Captain Brant recommended him as the first choice for Super Soldier.

Captain Joseph recommended him as the first choice for Super Soldier.

At the bottom of Kyle's file were also the signatures of the three people responsible for the Super Soldier Program's selection assessment.

"I never expected that the review and selection period, originally scheduled for a week, would have more than three people in charge jointly recommending one soldier by only the sixth day." The imposing, tall middle-aged man set down the file in his hand. His general's uniform and four-star rank declared his extraordinary status.

"To be honest, I still don't like Soldier Kyle." Captain Brant pursed his lips and sighed. "But I have to admit that he truly possesses every talent and aptitude a soldier could have."

Captain Joseph nodded in agreement and said with feeling, "Yes. After only five or six days of training, he already has qualities no weaker than those of the finest special forces soldiers. General Chester, if you hadn't reminded me that the Super Soldier Serum hadn't undergone its final experiment yet, I would have thought Kyle was already a Super Soldier born from the secret experiment."

"If the Super Soldier Serum proves effective on him, he may become the most versatile and perfect soldier in American history." Agent Carter gave her judgment coldly.

"Correction—not just America, but the entire world!" Captain Joseph said firmly.

After the three in the underground office had finished speaking, General Chester turned his gaze toward an elderly doctor wearing glasses and asked, "Dr. Abraham Erskine, what do you think? After all, you personally researched and created the Super Soldier Serum. You should also have a say in reviewing the candidate for the first test subject."

"Soldier Kyle, huh? His physical condition, willpower, and other aspects are indeed all very good." Dr. Abraham Erskine answered slowly. Finally, gritting his teeth, he voiced his true thoughts. "However, I believe Soldier Steve would be more suitable. His will and sense of justice are both necessities for a perfect soldier."

Steve had always been his preferred candidate for Super Soldier, but Kyle's sudden emergence was simply too outstanding—so outstanding that he had nearly eclipsed every recruit in the entire Training Base.

"Three to one, then." General Chester tapped his fingers on the desk and asked the last man in the office, "Howard Stark, as the scientific strategy director of the Super Soldier Program, do you have anything to say?"

Dressed in a gentlemanly suit, Howard shrugged and smiled. "I'm only responsible for the scientific strategy side of the project. Choosing soldiers is your job. I have no objection to whoever you choose."

After thinking for a moment, General Chester said, "Then let someone speak with Soldier Kyle first. Let him understand the Super Soldier project and see what he thinks and whether he is willing."

"I'll go." Carter, who had remained silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Fine, you go." General Chester nodded and said solemnly, "Tomorrow, prepare for the Super Soldier's final experiment!"

Inside the recruits' military dormitory.

Kyle had just finished showering. Droplets of water still clung to his tousled golden hair, and he stood bare-chested before the mirror, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.

His finely chiseled features were handsome and sunny, but most striking was his strong, upright physique, every abdominal muscle seeming to be forged from steel.

"A body enhanced by more than ten Green Ability Cards for physique and skills—is this the result?" Kyle looked with satisfaction at the powerful body in the mirror, like a work of art. He was certain that in strength, speed, and physical endurance, he was now no weaker than special forces soldiers who had fought for years.

Moreover, he had not wasted a moment these past few days. Apart from physique-related Ability Cards, he had continued drawing all the other White and Green Ability Cards without exception. By now, he had accumulated thirty-six Green Ability Cards for all kinds of professional talents, while his White Ability Cards had surpassed the staggering number of four hundred!

The genius and versatility ordinary people spoke of amounted to nothing more than this.

"It's been almost a week since my rebirth. Going by the plot of the first Captain America movie, the Super Soldier experiment should be starting soon, right?" Just as Kyle was pondering this, there was a smack, and the dormitory door was pushed open.

"Steve?" Kyle walked directly out of the bathroom in confusion. When he saw the beauty entering the dormitory, his expression turned surprised. "Agent Carter? You took a wrong turn, didn't you? This is the recruits' dormitory."

That was right. The one entering the dormitory was Agent Carter. Her usual military uniform with its fitted skirt outlined her mature figure in a breathtaking way. Holding a file under one arm, she strode crisply into the dormitory's main room and stopped.

"I didn't take a wrong turn. I came specifically to find you." Carter frowned slightly and asked coldly, "Shouldn't this be collective training time for recruits? Why are you showering in the dormitory?"

"Haha. It's just a little privilege for breaking the Training Base's individual record." Kyle smiled. He did not hurry to put on any clothes, merely draping a bath towel over his shoulders to cover the important parts. "There's nothing here to entertain you with, so please make do, Agent Carter. Sit wherever you like."

Carter maintained her cold, composed expression and looked around the dormitory. Finding no chairs or anything similar, she ultimately chose to sit on the edge of one bed.

"Go on, then. What does an agent like you need with a recruit like me?" Kyle was not polite either. He wiped his wet hair with a towel and moved closer, sitting on the other side of the bed. The narrow single bed left less than a meter between them.

"Why are you sitting so close?" Carter looked at him coldly. Kyle merely shrugged and said, "That's my bed. It's perfectly normal for me to sit on my own bed, isn't it?"

Carter: "..."

She had not expected that, by choosing at random, she had coincidentally sat on Kyle's bed.

Kyle kept smiling. He had a reason for sitting so close—Carter had nearly ten Green Ability Cards that he did not yet possess.

Chatting with a beauty at his side while freely drawing cards was far more enjoyable than the past few days.

"Then I'll be direct. How much do you know about Super Soldiers?" Carter asked, her legs pressed neatly together.

"Super Soldiers?" A surprised expression appeared on Kyle's face. He replied, "I only know that our group of recruits was selected in the first place for this Super Soldier project. I don't know much else."

"I'll explain it to you. The Super Soldier Program was developed by Dr. Abraham Erskine. It is an experiment that injects a serum into the human body, stimulating cellular activity and transforming the human physique from the inside out. In theory, it can perfectly improve every aspect of a person's physical abilities by at least three times!" Carter explained steadily. "It can cultivate superhuman individual combat power far beyond that of ordinary soldiers. The training officers should have already told you recruits that within this week, the first person to undergo the Super Soldier experiment would be selected."

"I know." Kyle nodded, though he seemed somewhat distracted as he smiled. "So, you chose me?"

"No final decision has been made yet. I only came to ask about your willingness first." Carter said, her gaze sweeping over Kyle's exposed, sculpted abdominal muscles before quickly shifting away.

"The Super Soldier experiment?" Kyle murmured, propping his chin on one hand as he fell into thought.

In the movie, Steve had been selected as the first pioneer of the Super Soldier experiment. He then gained humanity's most perfect physique and became Captain America.

And the moment Steve succeeded, the Super Soldier Serum was seized by Hydra spies. In the end, the serum was destroyed, the doctor was killed, and Super Soldiers could never be replicated again.

Now, because of his outstanding performance, could he replace Steve and become the first person to undergo the Super Soldier experiment—

Kyle narrowed his eyes, looked at Agent Carter beside him, and made his decision with a smile. "Sorry, but please allow me to refuse the qualification to be the pioneer of the Super Soldier Program."
