Chapter 4 Lingkong is a Beta, but he is also so coquettish

"I heard you were ill."

Huo Yubai glanced at Ji He twice, and subconsciously he had an indescribable feeling that something was wrong.

The man was standing perfectly fine, and there was no apparent injury or sickness on his part, which was not enough to warrant a leave of absence.

Apart from the protective bandage on the back of Beta's neck, Colonel Huo couldn't imagine any serious injuries that Sergeant Ji could have.

"Are you here to see me?"

Ji He's voice sounded the same as usual, but only he knew that a little joy was rising in his heart.

"no."

Colonel Huo looked around. The single dormitory for junior non-commissioned officers was quite small. It seemed a bit cramped with only two people standing there.

Compared with Alpha, Beta is a whole circle smaller and can be completely blocked by the person in front of it.

Ji He was used to feeling lost, so there was no major change in his facial expression.

Colonel Huo said expressionlessly: "If you are not too sick to get up, take good care of your new recruits."

"They are disorganized and undisciplined."

"Does everyone have to live like you?"

The tone of the last sentence was a bit harsh. Ji He bit his lower lip and wanted to refute.

He obviously worked very hard and only took leave when the colonel suffered from pheromone disorder.

But he couldn't say it out loud, and felt even more wronged.

Ji He lowered his head slightly and said, "It was my fault."

Huo Yubai didn't notice Ji He's disappointment and continued, "Knowing that you have failed in your job doesn't mean you are hopeless."

"If your health is really that bad and you have to take leave every other day, you might as well leave the military."

Ji He took a deep breath. He had spent so much time and energy to be able to stand by Huo Yubai's side, but this man criticized him for being useless.

"Colonel, I will not leave the military."

I will never leave you.

At least not now.

Ji He stood straight, trying hard to shake off his fatigue, wanting to prove to the colonel that he could handle everything.

As he spoke, his hand unconsciously grabbed the hem of Huo Yubai's clothes, and immediately let go when he realized it.

"Colonel, please believe me."

Huo Yubai approached him, his cold eyes swept across his face, reached out and touched the patch on the back of Ji He's neck, and said, "If it's just this injury, it won't affect your work."

When two fingers rolled over the thin sterile dressing, it was like throwing a stone into the center of a lake, causing ripples.

Ji He thought of some things that he shouldn't be thinking about at the moment, and his face felt a little hot.

"You're not an Omega, and you don't have glands in your neck. It's ridiculous for you to ask for leave just because you got a minor injury."

Ji He had no way of refutation and could only nod gently. He felt warm fingers touching his wound through the patch, and his face looked a little bad.

Huo Yubai saw his expression and added coldly.

"A Beta is so coquettish."

Alpha's fingers finally left, and Ji He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Colonel Huo really wanted to see his wounds, he really couldn't explain it.

"I'll keep an eye on that."

"The new recruits' field training is about to begin."

Ji He nodded, and then remembered that he had previously applied for an assistant instructor but had never received a response.

This is actually normal. Alpha, who is also a non-commissioned officer, is busy on his mission and would never be willing to lead new recruits with him.

If I ask Colonel Huo now, will I appear incompetent?

Ji He just frowned slightly, looking a little distressed, but in the end he didn't ask.

After Huo Yubai left, Ji He went to the fitness room for training. He had to recover quickly so that he could deal with the upcoming field training alone.

Ji He was about to sit in front of the training machine when he heard someone calling him.

"Ji... Instructor Ji..."

Xu Tianyang, wearing a sports vest and long pants, poked his head out from the weight machine on the other side.

"Xu Tianyang, why are you still in the gym so late?"

"Instructor, remember my name!"

Perhaps because he was too excited, Xu Tianyang suddenly spoke fluently.

In fact, Ji He remembers everyone's name.

"I want to practice more."

"Instructor, are you...are you well again?"

Ji He nodded, and then listened to Xu Tianyang mention the day when Colonel Huo taught Li Ran a lesson.

The other person still spoke with some stuttering, and it sounded a little laborious, but Ji He did not show any impatience from beginning to end.

He did his recovery training while listening to Xu Tianyang chattering.

On the second day of the mecha class, the original teacher had something urgent to do, so he handed this group of Alpha recruits who were full of enthusiasm to Ji He.

Rows of towering mechas, shining with beautiful metallic luster, are neatly arranged on one side.

"Are these all combat mechas?"

Ji He raised his eyes and replied, "This one is a tactical command mecha."

"There are not many types of combat mechas. In addition to tactical command types, there are also reconnaissance types, assault types, support types, etc."

"Each mecha has a different operating system. It takes some time to get familiar with its performance before you can operate it."

Ji He saw that the eyes of these Alpha recruits were full of eagerness to try, so he added a sentence.

"Fuck, this mecha is so cool." Li Ran almost rushed over the cordon but was stopped by Ji He.

This mecha is named Black Warrior. It is completely black and looks extremely heavy at first glance. The name makes it even more domineering.

"This is heavy armor, generally used on the front line to resist the enemy's fierce attack."

"Instructor, is this a Silver Blade mecha?"

One of the round-faced Alphas pointed at a silver streamlined mecha and asked.

"Yes, this is the third generation of the Silver Blade Mecha."

Ji He walked over to a dark gray prototype special mecha, which was an experimental mecha specially used for teaching.

Li Ran frowned when he saw the mecha, thinking it was not as cool as the black warrior he had his eyes on.

"Today, we will mainly use this unnamed mecha for basic learning."

Li Ran tilted his head and muttered, "What's the difference between using this mecha and simulated training?"

Ji He heard this and said slowly: "Today, I will lead you in practical exercises, but everyone must obey orders."

"Wow, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"One hundred physical trainings are not as good as one real mecha training."

Everyone entered the nameless mecha and carried out the first connection training with the mecha according to Ji He's instructions.

The pheromone levels of the first few Alphas were very high, and it was very smooth when connecting to the nameless mecha.

When it was Li Ran's turn, he was full of confidence and quickly connected to the mecha, and also glanced at Xu Tianyang.

Xu Tianyang, who was standing at the end of the team, suddenly remembered the sarcastic remarks made by Li Ran and became so nervous that his palms were sweating.

Xu Tianyang stood in the main control room, his mind a mess. The more he tried to connect to the mecha, the harder it was to connect.

Ji He, who was standing by, noticed the other party's nervousness, patted Alpha on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Focus and try again."

Li Ran sneered and said, "Instructor, they always say that the slow bird flies first, but I've never heard of a duck flying into the sky."

"Why waste that time? Let's just move on to the next thing."

Ji He turned around and asked calmly, "Li Ran, did you not do enough push-ups?"

Li Ran got angry when he heard the words "prone" and said without thinking, "Fuck it."

"You are a Beta who can't even connect to a mecha. How dare you teach me a lesson!"

From the time he got on the mecha until now, Ji He just stood there holding a computer, giving everyone verbal instructions, and he never demonstrated anything.

Even if Li Ran didn't say it, the other Alphas had doubts in their hearts and only showed superficial respect to this Beta instructor.

Xu Tianyang looked at Li Ran, feeling sorry for the instructor, and said, "How...how can you say that?"

Li Ran laughed uncontrollably, pointed at Xu Tianyang, and said, "You are so protective of the instructor, it seems like you really are in the same boat."

From beginning to end, Ji He didn't say a word.

"Coach Ji, if you can't do it, I'll do it!"

Li Ran swaggered in front of Ji He and pushed the useless Xu Tianyang away, but was grabbed by the hand firmly.

Li Ran raised his eyes suddenly, not believing that he would be restrained by a Beta. He struggled hard to break free, but failed to move.

His face immediately turned red and he looked at Ji He in disbelief.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on this scene, and their gazes towards Ji He were filled with inquiry.

Ji He remained silent throughout the whole process, making Li Ran look like a fool.

Alpha couldn't save face, so he took advantage of this opportunity to secretly connect to the unknown mecha.

The dark grey mecha soared into the air. Li Ran was not familiar with the instructions and operations yet, and the entire control room was tilted.

"Oh my god!"

Everyone was staggering, trying to stand steadily amidst the huge dizziness.

Li Ran had a great time and didn't take the instructor Ji He seriously at all.

The unnamed mecha flapped its wings and fired two blank rounds, which was obviously an accidental operation by Li Ran.

The next second, the mecha stopped all movements and just hung in the air.

Li Ran realized that the connection between himself and the mecha was severed by a powerful force. He retreated four or five steps and fell out of the control room.

Only Ji He was standing in front of the complicated operating table.

Everyone is left behind and can only look up to him.

Ji He closed his eyes at some point, and when he opened them again, a powerful mental force kicked Li Ran out of the connection, and he alone was in control of the mecha.

The dark grey mecha transformed into its original form and flew back to its original position at a speed undetectable to the human eye.

The speed was so fast that all the Alphas present did not realize that this was done by a Beta in an instant.

"It's the instructor!"

"How is that possible!" Li Ran looked at Ji He in disbelief, who had a calm expression on his face.

It's not impossible for someone to disconnect an existing mecha, but one must be at least an A-class Alpha.

Ji He turned around and said calmly: "As long as the mental strength is strong enough, anyone can connect to the mecha."

"You think I'm not good enough simply because I'm a Beta."

"Well, let me ask you this."

"If you were a Beta, could you do this?"

Xu Tianyang got up from the ground and looked at the instructor with eyes full of admiration.

"I……"

Li Ran was speechless, and a crack appeared in the arrogance in his heart.

"You will stay and receive the penalty for this field training."

"I just want to be strong, am I wrong?"

Ji He stopped looking at Li Ran and replied calmly, "A soldier's sword can soar into the air, but it will never be pointed at his own people."
