Chapter 73: Actual Combat Exercise There was a sound outside the door getting closer and closer, footsteps...
There were sounds coming closer and closer outside the door, footsteps, conversations. With their hearing sharper than ever, the two insects could clearly catch them, as well as the sound of the lock tongue turning.
"Sander, there's a new batch of nutritional supplements coming out on Star Online. I want to buy some in advance. Do you want some?"
"No, the new flavor will affect the combat status."
"You really don't have a good time... Hey, the door lock turns in the wrong direction. It wasn't like this when I left. Did I remember it wrong?"
The sound of a door opening was heard, and a questioning voice also came from outside the door. The four insects faced each other, and there was a moment of stagnation in the air.
"Bang" the door was closed again.
The voice outside the door continued: "Sander, I seem to have hallucinated just now."
Xander said weakly, "I think so too."
"Bug shit, then it's not an illusion!" Parker reacted and kicked the door open.
With a loud bang, the door was embedded directly into the wall.
"Boss!" Parker roared and was about to pounce, but Muas was quick to block his way.
Parker braked suddenly and almost fell on Muas.
Parker scratched his head sheepishly: "Second brother, welcome back too."
Parker took a step forward and rushed towards Lin Xi again, but was stopped by Muas again.
Being blocked once was a coincidence, but being blocked twice was intentional. Parker realized that his second brother didn't want him to block the boss.
Parker: “!!”
Parker's IQ was on full blast, feeling like he'd witnessed something extraordinary: "What are you doing..."
Lin Xi stood behind Muas, put her arm around his shoulders and said, “Yes, we are together, so when dealing with married men, stay at least one meter away from me.”
Muas suddenly said, "Three meters."
Lin Xi compromised: "Okay, three meters is three meters."
Parker looked at Lin Xi, then at Muas, and realized that he was the most redundant one. The two bugs didn't need his answer at all and made the decision for him without authorization.
"It's true that when you haven't seen a man for three days, you should look at him with new eyes." Parker held it in for a long time before finally saying this.
But Parker was equally puzzled: "You've only been gone for a few days, how come your relationship has exploded like a rocket launcher?"
Lin Xi looked at Parker with disdain: "You don't understand, love is like a tornado, you have to seize the opportunity."
Parker nodded and said seriously, "I really don't understand. After all, I don't like homosexuals."
"But," Parker rolled his eyes and asked with a skeptical expression, "I wonder who's on top and who's on the bottom, brothers?"
Lin Xi had an expression that looked like he had eaten shit, and Muas's expression was not very good either. Lin Xi's face was sour: "Don't call me brother, it makes me want to vomit."
Parker had a blank expression on his face, cursing inwardly.
Parker rolled his eyes: "If you don't want to bark, then don't bark. Do you think I care..."
Sander didn't say anything, but the more he looked at Linxi and Muas, the more strange it seemed to him. However, he couldn't put his finger on what was strange.
However, when Lin Xi lowered her head slightly and spoke in Muas's ear, a light flashed in her mind, and Sander finally realized that something was wrong.
"Boss, you seem to have grown a lot taller?" Sander asked tentatively.
Lin Xi smiled, finally a bug noticed something was wrong.
After the second awakening, Lin Xi's already mature face did not change much, but his body shape became much taller. Standing next to Muas, he looked more like a female insect than the other.
Lin Xi smiled complacently: "Thanks to this man of mine, he took a lot of physical enhancement drugs, and his physical fitness has broken through to level B+."
For those who have broken through by taking potions, reaching level B+ is already amazing, but Lin Xi's is a proper awakening and is level A.
However, the physical fitness of male insects is poor without exception, and the physical fitness classification standards are different from those of female insects. This level sounds quite good, but it cannot be compared with the A-level of female insects.
If Linxi and Parker competed in hitting steel plates, Linxi would definitely win based on his level, but the strength of bones is different, so it is hard to say who will win when two insects fight each other.
Parker and Xander exclaimed, "Boss, congratulations!"
The two bugs sincerely congratulated and were also really envious.
Leveling up is a good thing, as it will give the boss a stronger physique and allow him to operate the mecha for longer periods of time, just like a normal soldier.
Lin Xi smiled and took out a box of potions from the space button. After taking a look, he found that he had taken the wrong one, the potion to soothe his mental strength.
The potion to soothe the mental power is not the same as the inhibitory medicine. This is the potion you need to drink when your mental power is unstable after awakening.
However, Parker didn't know the value of it and probably thought it was some advanced inhibitor.
Lin Xi took out a few more things, but found that they were not what he wanted, so he put them away again.
There were so many things to bring that the potions for strengthening the physique were left at the bottom of the box.
Seeing one good thing after another being taken out, especially the other party having luxury goods like the Space Button in his hand, Parker was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Parker couldn't help but envy: "Boss, you are marrying into the royal family and rising to prominence!"
Parker chuckled, winked, and said, "Boss, does your palace still need servants to clean and serve? The kind that have been to military academy."
Lin Xi waved his hand and refused, "I can tell from the look of it that you're a big, clumsy person. If a worm like you comes to serve me, my salary won't be enough to cover the cost."
Parker's expression was ferocious for a moment.
The eldest brother married into the royal family and he is really getting cocky. He looks down on his former companions so quickly. Woohoo, he and Sander are really a pair of brothers in distress!
Parker was about to burst into tears when Lin Xi suddenly said, "Finally found it."
Parker grunted and held back his tears.
Lin Xi handed the box to Parker and said, "I'm just kidding. We are good brothers. I can forget anyone but you."
"Boss, you are such a good bug!" Parker took the potion and tears of emotion streamed down his face. The tears he had been holding back flowed out again.
Linxi took out another box and gave it to Sander, who was also very touched.
In their opinion, they can continue to take the medicine to enhance their physical fitness even after a breakthrough, and the boss is giving it to them just to save on his own rations.
What a touching brotherhood!
Muas looked at Parker and Sander's extremely excited expressions with a strange look on his face.
He had given physical enhancement potions before, and Parker and Sander were also very excited at that time, but not as exaggerated as they are now.
Moreover, Parker and Sander are not villains with ulterior motives. This situation is still related to Lin Xi, who caused all this.
Lin Xi's charm is even more exaggerated than imagined, and he even attacks indiscriminately. Muas decided that he must keep a close eye on him from now on.
Parker and Sander put the potion away and came out of the room. They had almost calmed down, and Linxi had also cleaned up the room.
Ji Chong sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting about recent events.
The Enamel Military Academy was the same as usual, with nothing special happening.
Some time ago, Muyas's identity caused a stir for a while, but I don't know if it was because someone was behind it or the school's ban took effect, the storm soon disappeared.
What the Enamel Military Academy is most concerned about recently is the actual combat exercise in a week.
"Where is the location of this exercise? Has the college issued a notice?" Lin Xi asked.
Parker shook his head and said, "That's the problem. We're almost ready to leave for the exercise, but our instructor hasn't told us the location yet. We don't even know what to prepare."
Sander glanced at Parker and said, "Even if we know, there's no need to prepare anything. The team leader will collect everything we bring and then distribute basic supplies."
Parker glared at the innocent Sander, feeling that he was trying to sabotage him.
Sander was confused by the stare, as he was clearly telling the truth.
Upon hearing this, Muas suddenly said, "Given this situation, the actual combat exercises at the Enamel Military Academy this year should be different from previous years."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xi was puzzled. "Is there a precedent?"
Muas said, "It's just a guess. It's also possible that the military academy wants to increase the difficulty for the cadets and prevent them from collecting information about the training site and preparing in advance."
Lin Xi stroked his chin and thought that this was possible.
"But we still need to make some preparations." Muas turned around and talked about something else. "Have you heard about the expansion of the eight legions on the capital planet?"
Parker and Xander nodded in unison.
Parker reacted quickly and understood something: "The Legion is expanding, so the Enamel Military Academy changed its strategy for this exercise?"
Muyas nodded. "With the expansion of the eight legions, the number of places available to the Enamel Military Academy will inevitably increase. If we want to be on the list, we must use all our skills in this exercise and let the legions see our abilities."
Parker couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "That's true, but it's still quite difficult to actually do. For a bug like me with average grades and not that outstanding, it's probably just a pipe dream to want to join the Eight Legions."
Lin Xi casually threw a mecha model into Parker's arms, trying to wake him up: "You haven't even tried it yet, and you're so dejected. Do you still have any ideals?"
Parker took the model, stood up, and put it back in its place before saying, "Boss, insects should pursue realistic ideals, not just wishful thinking. Let's go for something more achievable."
Parker hummed, then continued, "How about thinking about how you ended up being assigned to a resource-rich planet as a garrison soldier?"
This kind of work is not only safe, but also profitable.
Lin Xi was speechless: "Is this all you can do?"
Parker spread his hands and said, "Boss, it's not that I don't want to make progress, it's just that my strength doesn't allow it."
Lin Xi said, "You don't even want to see your favorite male insect star? I remember you dreamed of seeing your dream insect lover, didn't you?"
Parker's face flushed slightly. "Boss, when a bug is obsessed with sex, it's all hormones that are at work. How can you believe what it says?"
Lin Xi said expressionlessly, "Scumbag."
Parker waved his hands repeatedly: "Chasing stars is chasing stars, chasing bugs is chasing bugs. How can chasing stars be confused with seeing real bugs! I am very loyal, but that doesn't mean I will give up the life I love for a star! Boss, everyone is like this, you can't call me a scumbag!"
Lin Xi rolled her eyes in response.
Muas, however, felt that the male insect star Parker was talking about was very similar to Lin Xi, and he released his damn charm.
It's fine if he's flirting without realizing it, but if he's deliberately seducing you, then he's a scumbag!
