Chapter 145 Responding to the Promise

"No matter what is written in the report." Derby bowed to Shi Cunjin and said with a loud sound: "I can definitely become an excellent and loyal soldier like Amy and uncle. I will not be a hindrance to my family. I am good at enduring the pain of healing. For more than ten years, I have never sought support from my uncle and brothers in this regard! I am definitely a warrior in this regard. Please give me some trust and patience!"

Derby bowed so low that Shi Cunjin could touch his short brown-gold hair with just a raised hand.

Derby's attitude was very sincere, as if he believed that as long as he exerted strong willpower, gritted his teeth and endured, he could stay in his brother and uncle's track forever.

But Shi Cunjin knew: No.

He switched to Zerg thinking, and thought almost grimly: What will happen to Derby if he joins the army?

The Zerg have a completely metamorphosis-level self-healing ability. The self-healing recovery speed of the higher, middle, and lower species decreases in order. The internal development of the military is very similar to the three-class ABO system of the wolf society in the animal world. It is strict and inhumane. The phrase "training to death" is definitely a verb form.

There is a constant and ancient twisted theory within the Zerg military faction: only blood and pain can give birth to strength and talent.

Shi Cunjin believed in Derby's character. The report showed that Derby's wings had been broken at least three times. During their escape, Derby never asked the young master or his brother for a painkiller.

If it weren't for the report, Shi Cunjin wouldn't have known about this.

Derby is so tolerant.

Precisely because she could endure it, Shi Cunjin couldn't let him become a military henchman.

"There's nothing wrong with your report. They're all small things that can be solved. Sit down and I'll talk to you. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Derby hesitated and sat down.

Shi Cunjin showed the projection screen to Derby, and in a gentle voice, he explained the items on the physical examination form one by one, pointing out the physiological disadvantages that were unavoidable.

"I'm not afraid of death!" Derby got excited when he heard half of it.

Shi Cunjin patted his back and said gently: "Just listen to me first, the situation is not that bad."

Derby clutched the seam of his trousers, his lips pursed until they turned pale.

After explaining the disadvantages, Shi Cunjin pointed to the second page of the report: "Your mental test value is the highest among the brothers. The stability of the mental test value is a hard indicator for all female soldiers to join the army."

"When a female soldier enters the star sea and fights against alien beasts, her mental stability will begin to drop. The poison gas and venom of alien beasts have irreversible effects on the Zerg. Many female soldiers who retire in their prime years have no choice but to retire because their mental stability can no longer be improved."

"Then am I not more suitable for being a soldier than Amy?" Derby asked cautiously, he was a little confused.

Shi Cunjin: "But mental stability is not a hard indicator test exclusive to military women."

"Let me give you an example. 1,200 years ago, the Zerg used their own wings and claws to fight against aliens. 1,200 years later, all the offensive weapons used by the Zerg were developed and manufactured by Zerg engineers by combining materials from aliens."

"Weapons and armor used by military females, as well as various warships targeting different alien tribes, have appeared. The Zerg army has gained the upper hand in the war, and the annual death toll has dropped sharply from 95% to 40%."

"The poison gas and venom of the aliens affect the mental state of the Zerg. Most of the time, society only sees the mental instability of the military females who are active on the front lines of the war, but they rarely pay attention to the status of the weapons engineers and front-line military technicians who study the corpses of aliens and fresh star energy cores."

Derby gradually became absorbed in listening.

The young master had a beautiful voice. When he narrated history, it was as if he was humming a song. The boring knowledge was like a breeze, gently pouring into Derby's ears.

"Look at these values ​​of yours." Shi Cunjin used his fingers to guide Derby's sight and told him, "The mental stability value can make you calmer than other students when facing the alien body, fresh star energy core, poison gas and venom, and observe more details."

“Your pain tolerance is also very good. If you participate in a research and development experiment that requires you to touch the venom with your hands and analyze the data deep into the Broken Star Energy Core, you will have an advantage over other students when conducting a real sensory test.” Shi Cunjin tried to be gentle.

"The military planet and the medical planet have been cooperating for a long time. Today's medical technology has achieved the point where the healing injection has no side effects on the female insect's physique. When you do experiments there, your low self-healing cells will no longer be a disadvantage. Once you are injured, you will definitely be cured."

"These days, I've noticed that you're always hiding behind Amy, standing in his shadow and quietly paying attention to everything, whether it's taking care of your younger brother or taking care of your children. Your physical condition is very balanced and not too bad."

Shi Cunjin touched Derby's hair. "The other side of low bone mass and low healing is high and stable spirit and endurance. Derby, maybe you can look at another track, weapons research and development, military technology, armor technology and the like. Are you interested in these?"

"But..." Derby was a little confused. He had been taught since birth to be a military heroine, and conquering the stars and killing aliens was his job. He hesitated and said, "But the ones who actually use weapons to repel aliens are military heroes. If I learn what you said, then... then..."

Shi Cunjin listened patiently and added, "When we were fleeing, I noticed that when Bill was taking care of me, you were always the one carrying his briefcase containing the sniper rifle."

"When we found the jeep and drove to the shelter, you were the first to check the guns on your brothers and reminded them to check the trajectory and magazines. Even earlier..." Shi Cunjin carefully blurred the word "black shield", "In the big shelter, Bill asked you to guard the door, and you sat at the door, dismantling the short rifle configuration and sharpening the saber. Among the four brothers, you are the only one who always pays attention to the maintenance of the weapon."

"You do enjoy researching and maintaining these weapons, don't you?"

Debi pursed his lips: "Yeah."

Shi Cunjin switched to the page showing a deceased scientist's entry in the Starnet Encyclopedia. He read the scientist's introduction and biography to Derby, "Finally, the scientist was cremated, and the First Army and the Capital Alliance held a funeral of the highest standard for him. The coffin was draped with the military flag and the federal flag."

"This scientist developed the Alpha series of armor, which gave the military faction a good start. In the year when the Alpha series of armor was born, the death rate of female soldiers in battle hit a record low, and a miraculously low death population node was born."

"Derby. This scientist had never been on a star-studded battlefield in his life, and had never personally killed any species of alien beasts. However, it was with these two hands that he created the landmark work in the history of Zerg armor. All modern armors since then have the shadow of the A series armor."

Derby's tentacles stood up slightly and his pupils changed.

"This scientist lived only 90 years and died in his prime, but his works killed hundreds of millions of monsters, and to this day, this number is still rising."

"As long as the Zerg survives, this scientist will never die."

Shi Cunjin: "Derby, everything is balanced. Your bone mass and healing ability are low, but your spirit and endurance are high. Over the past decade or so, your endurance has forged them. If you join the army, your endurance will not be able to save your bone mass and healing ability, and you will collapse under heavy training and never get up again."

"If you change your direction and study weapons research or military technology, you can free yourself from your hobbies and interests. You can live a long, long time and realize your dream of fighting against alien beasts."

"Derby. Your patience is not for the purpose of dying. Your patience and pain have forged something glittering."

Shi Cunjin switched the screen back and pointed at the good items on the medical examination form: "You have no problem. Change your lane and take the right path. You will be no worse than any insect."

Derby reached out and grabbed Shi Cunjin's sleeve, revealing a confused and eager look, and whispered: "Master Ronald, is it really okay not to be a soldier?"

"Sure. No one will look down on you, and your brothers will not alienate you." Shi Cunjin put his arm around Derby's shoulders and said in a young master's tone, "None of what you worry about will happen. I'm watching you."

Derby raised his hand and wiped away his tears with his sleeve. His lips trembled as he managed to say, "I will work hard to become a scientist and pay you back. I will never let you feel like you have lost money."

“…” Shi Cunjin’s smile froze for half a second.

"Don't worry about that."

Shi Cunjin said in a way that Debi could understand better: "You, Amy, and Rumi and Luka never have to worry about this."

"Bill has already paid for you. The thank-you gift he gave you is one of the most valuable things I have ever seen in my life." Shi Cunjin looked into Derby's eyes and thought of Bill who was equally silent.

"Sir, if possible, I would like you to help me teach the bugs I raise. I don't want the driver's salary. I have the Red Dot Medal, and I can teach all the skills to Rollie Rollie. ...If there is a bug who can say something when I am in the conscription school..."

At that time, Shi Cunjin said, okay.

Now, Shi Cunjin patiently breaks down everything and explains it to Derby, straightens out Derby's life path, and guides Derby to willingly go on the right path.

"I won't let my uncle and you down." Debi sniffed and rubbed his eyes hard.

Shi Cunjin took out a square soft towel from his pocket and handed it to him, "You're almost scratching the area around your eyes. Use this. In another 30 minutes, you will have the final test to determine your future application direction. Now you have a new choice. Tell the doctor then, and the doctor will fine-tune the test for you."

"Now, get yourself together and go tell Amy and the others your good news."

Debi took the towel and said, "Thank you, Master. I'll go to the water dispenser over there to wash my face."

Shi Cunjin nodded and read the other children's medical examination reports in detail before walking over to give them a few instructions. He also confirmed that each child had enough money in their smart ring account for meals, money for a taxi home if they got lost, and pocket money before urging them back to the testing room.

"Let's have a big dinner tonight and celebrate the beginning of a new life." Shi Cunjin watched them enter the testing hall again.

The system was saying in Shi Cunjin's ear: "According to your schedule, the car I arranged will be here soon..." "Military scientific research, the path of scientists, people of middle-class character are no less obedient than military females." Jack quietly appeared behind Shi Cunjin.

"No offense to you or his family." Jack stayed a step back and said respectfully.

The children were not around, so Jack did not maintain the arrogant face that only the higher species had, and said indifferently: "Let me tell you some so-called inside stories of the military-industrial planet. Military technology and medical technology are monopolized inherited technologies. The children of scientists are scientists, and the children of doctors are doctors. That new race track is completely controlled by the so-called orthodox and pure blood. The heirs are soaked in the cultivation fluid of knowledge after birth. Even if they are waste and have genetic defects, as long as they have orthodox blood, there will be countless gunmen serving them."

"That kid named Derby is already 16 years old this year. He started at least ten years late in this field. Autoven does have a technology department, an armor auxiliary department, and an AI engineering department, but before your story "Roommate" appeared, these auxiliary subjects were just face-saving goods in the Autoven Military Academy."

"Mr. Carol and Fate Wynn have set a new trend. Armor support and AI engineering have become popular subjects this year. All auxiliary departments now have truly capable instructors. This year, valve learning has truly opened its doors to the general middle and high-level classes."

"Finally, when this wave of craze has passed, the doors of these auxiliary departments will still be difficult to enter. In the military and medical fields, they believe more in the inheritance of blood. In these fields, side branches and illegitimate children are second-class citizens, and they are flesh screws born to serve the master family."

Jack's expression grew colder as he spoke. "Without a surname and a citizen ID that belongs to an individual, if you don't meet the higher standards before adulthood, you will never have a central bank account of your own in your lifetime."

"The family tradition of science and technology and medicine is closed, you may not know this. If you want the child to have a better life in the future, the best choice is to use your current invisible influence to enroll him in the Ottowen Practical Department, and keep an eye on him all the way until he graduates and enters the Hu Feng Army who trusts you very much."

The silver-haired female turned her head and trembled her lips slightly.

Jack was stuck. "…What do you think is wrong?"

Under the fashionable short laser purple hair of the senior military female is the classic prince face of Dion.

His eyes were cold, his words were chilly, and subtle hatred was like thin pieces of floating ice on his face that was pretending to be calm.

It's very...

Non-mainstream, darkened.

Handsome, weird and funny.

Shi Cunjin: ...

It's impolite to laugh, so just bear with it.

"No." Shi Cunjin said, "I'm just a little surprised that you would take the initiative to tell me this."

"I thought you were about to explode from all the suffering you've endured these days." Shi Cunjin made a rare joke to ease the tension, and he walked out of the hall.

"..." Jack followed closely and resumed the topic: "With your care and the support of the Hu Feng Army, the child will have a smooth military career. When he is of the right age for breeding, he can apply for frozen sperm from a higher planet. In the future, with the support of your resources, generation after generation, the child will have a military family."

"For a medium-level species born on a medium-level star to start a family and settle on a high-level star, bringing endless benefits to future generations, is truly a step to heaven. Only in this way can your investment return be maximized."

Jack: "It's not quite right for you to let him choose according to his preferences."

Shi Cunjin: "It's really strange. Derby is 16 years old this year. Everything is going well. He can live to 100 years old safely. He has his own hobbies and is willing to develop his interests into future careers and study hard. But now you are considering his descendants? Isn't it Derby standing in front of you?"

Jack had a strange expression and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "...but the military family I'm talking about is the one that maximizes his insect life interests."

"A middle-class person created a family out of nothing, Mr. Fate. Do you know how incredible this is? If Derby follows this path, under the influence of the Hu Feng Army, in two generations, he will become the founder of a high-class family! His name will be hung on the family tapestry, with a gold-rimmed hot stamping, and the whole class will be different!"

Shi Cunjin let out a soft sigh.

He and Jack rarely talked about anything outside of the office.

Shi Cunjin noticed early on the indifference and contempt beneath Jack's official mask.

Jack's businesslike manner, his unwillingness to stimulate cells to heal his injured eye, the electric shock collar on his neck, all the silence and respect came from the power of Anushka Kash.

Jack never respected Afefit.

"Now that he is not as healthy as his older brothers, why should he force himself to compete on the same track?"

Shi Cunjin said casually: "I have all the things you mentioned, such as family eldership, money, power, benefits, care, etc., now. And I will always have them."

"I don't need him to climb up by suffering and sapping his health. I'm already at this level now."

Shi Cunjin raised his hand, drew three steps in the air, and pointed his gloved index finger lightly at a certain place in the air.

Jack knew that was the highest of the three levels.

"Amy wanted to be a good soldier like his father, with a red dot and a lot of glory on his left chest. He had a firm belief in his heart. So I supported him."

Shi Cunjin pointed his finger downward and said, "But Derby is different. He is weak and confused. He has not received a good education and has no idea about his future. He can only stumble along the path of his elders."

"At this time, he needs a suitable role to correct his path. Since he has interests and preferences, then go and learn. Learn whatever he wants to learn and do whatever he wants to do."

"I have money, connections, power, and even the support of a tech family. Until now, no bug has been able to locate my IP."

Shi Cunjin smiled at Jack: "The young insects I take care of don't need to climb the blood and tears road of the foreworms, nor do I need them to fulfill any burdens for me. They just need to choose what they want to do and live happily every day."

Jack suddenly asked, "It's okay even if I become a waste?"

"That depends on how you define waste." Shi Cunjin replied.

Just as they walked to the driveway outside the medical hall, Shi Cunjin said, "Come with me here today. I'm going to do some private things next. Don't follow me."

"But..." Jack immediately came back to his senses, carefully blurring out the military rank, and using a universal pronoun: "The commander's order is."

"Didn't he ask you to listen to me?" Shi Cunjin pretended to remember something and said to Jack, "Go and coordinate with the rovers guarding the outer space this afternoon. I have to fly to the North Pole Customs at noon tomorrow."

Jack frowned when he heard that and immediately guessed, "You're leaving for the carnival tomorrow?"

Shi Cunjin: “Yeah.”

"Okay, I understand. I'll make the arrangements. But you don't have any bodyguards with you right now..."

Suddenly, a low-profile black car slid into the driveway of the medical hall and stopped right next to Shi Cunjin.

Jack took a step forward reflexively, separating Fate from the suspicious black car.

There is black film on the car windows and I can't see clearly inside.

The window came down and Jack's tentacles sprang to life.

The driver's appearance is typical of the higher species. He has deep eye sockets, thin lips, strong bones, black hair and black pupils, a pair of conspicuous large feather-like whiskers hanging naturally behind his ears, and a gloomy and cold temperament.

"Boss." The driver bowed to the sub-female behind Jack.

Jack's conditioned reflexes raised his tentacles, his single eye narrowed slightly, his pupils transformed into beasts, and his face showed an aggressive expressionless expression.

This girl looks like a high-ranking female of the Moth Clan? A high-ranking member of the Fourth Army? The Fourth Army can’t possibly be here. Their activities are restricted to the Western Andromeda Ring.

This look only appears in the Eighth Army, apart from the Fourth Army.

Only the senior female soldiers of these two legions always have a dead insect face, their skin is as white as if they were born in a tomb, and their eyes are always gloomy like looking at insects.

Jack was shocked and felt that Fate himself was even more unpredictable.

Among Fate's subordinates, there are the traditional and conservative Eighth Army? Hey, what is their family background? ?

Shi Cunjin nodded to the driver and said to Jack, "My bugs are coming. You can go back."

Shi Cunjin paused for a few seconds and said in a friendly manner: "This is not a request, I am informing you."

Jack bowed his head and took the initiative to open the back door for Shi Cunjin. "I understand, sir."

The low-profile black car drove away quickly, entered the main road, and disappeared into the floating track.

Jack stood there without moving, looked for a while, suddenly chuckled, and muttered silently: Maybe it's suitable for you to get hurt at the carnival.

Don't be too heavy.

But don't go too light.

As one of the representatives of the First Army, General Cash had to stay by the side of the group of nobles 90% of the time, acting as a guardian.

If you are injured, the general manager will be anxious. The general manager's personality seems indifferent, but in fact he is very irritable.

If military law is imposed, he won't be able to leave and will order me to stay close to you.

Jack unbuttoned his collar a little and scratched the shock collar on his neck with his fingernails.

Fate, get hurt a little, show some scars and flesh, and become weak. Only then can I be of use.

"The Midas Touch..." Jack muttered.

…

"What a pity! Lieutenant Jack's card jumped to a higher level, and it was very generous, with a direct increase of 50%. But because the card was black and cracked, this progress is invalid." said the driver in the driving seat.

The sound of the moth's unique subwoofer sounded like a low-pitched elegant piano piece in the closed car, and then disappeared.

Next second.

The driver, who was full of momentum, spoke in a split voice and uttered a cheerful voice from his thin lips: "Teacher Shi, Teacher Shi! How is it? How is it? The holographic simulation image I projected this time is super awesome! This car is very expensive! The effect of the built-in holographic projection host is just so-so! That Jack must not have discovered that I am fake! How is it, Teacher Shi! Isn't the Zerg image of the third host super impressive? Just putting on a dead bug face makes that Jack stand on end! Hehehehe!"

Shi Cunjin: “…”

It's a bit eye-catching.

“…Ahem, yeah.”

Shi Cunjin: "How is the first batch of energy airdropped by the company?"

"The first batch of armor has been filled, and I am controlling the robot to move the newly arrived second row into the warehouse!" The system controlled the onboard AI to turn a corner, enter the overpass, turn on the optical camouflage mode, and the car disappeared in the traffic.

"There is a secret channel between Gamma and the Wasp Military Planet where I hid. Just like the Black Shield where we stayed before, this special channel is in the hidden interior of the planet. The Wasp Military often uses these secret passages to travel back and forth between Wasp Planets in the same sector."

"Like a subway that goes directly from the inside?" Shi Cunjin guessed.

"That's about right! The investors of the Capital Alliance are really willing to spend a lot of money on the wasps." The system canceled the holographic projection, and the image of the female moth disappeared.

It then projected a planetary radar map in front of Teacher Shi, and said cheerfully: "Look! Gamma Star is only a 90-minute star jump away from the military star I hid!"

Shi Cunjin looked at the star map carefully and nodded, "I'll be back in time for dinner."

"Hu Fengjun has taken over Gamma. What is the status of this secret passage?"

System: "I blocked part of Hu Fengjun's detection signals, and also erased the access records and IP addresses of this secret passage in the mainframe system of the Customs and the Administration Office. This secret passage does not exist in theory, and there is no risk!"

"good."

The system chuckled, "And more! We will land on the hidden military star in 90...85 minutes! You will immediately see an armored army ready to go!"

"Thank you, you are really amazing." Shi Cunjin said gently.

"Hehe, hehe." The system exploded several rows of fireworks in Shi Cunjin's mind, and he was in high spirits: "Then I will go to work! The group of insects on the military-industrial planet are still in their bad habits. They have implanted dormant viruses in the AI ​​armors they sent over. Humph! Do they think I can't detect the virus program because it is dormant? I will just plow them all out and throw them back! Crash! Crash them all!!"

Shi Cunjin reminded: "Don't make it too ugly."

"Okay." The system was silent for a few seconds, then asked again: "You don't want to poison them so much that they can't turn on their computers, right? Can I blow up other factories?"

"Don't freeze the computer. Find the virus and compress it into a compressed package. Send it back as a gift in Fate's name." Shi Cunjin lowered his eyes and opened the social account: "Don't make things so awkward. We still have to cooperate in the future."

System: “Okay!”

Shi Cunjin sends a message to Anushka.

@Fit: [Are you there?]

The other side replied immediately.

【exist.】

【Every moment.】
