“You can’t keep waiting for the next A-level fire control operator to appear, after all, there aren’t many opportunities like Lu Jin’an to personally train a partner for yourself.”
It was precisely this sentence that made Shang Shixu stop.
Yes, he can't stay without a partner forever, nor can he wait indefinitely for the next Class A fire control operator to appear.
He looked at the man behind him. Cheng Yi was an Alpha, but he didn't look like an Alpha; he looked more like a harmless beta.
However... he gives people a feeling that cannot be ignored, and even a feeling that once he sets his sights on you, you will never be able to escape.
This made Shang Shixu have a very bad impression of this person.
However, I must say that Cheng Yi is my best choice right now.
"And you? Why haven't you looked for the helmsman for so long? It can't be because you're waiting for me, can it?"
Cheng Yi chuckled: "Of course not, but not entirely."
This was a bit convoluted, and Shang Shixu frowned as he listened: "What do you mean?"
“I’m not willing to partner with just any helmsman. I’ve been waiting for the right helmsman, but as you can see, I haven’t found one yet.”
"The reason I didn't contact you before was because I knew you were waiting for the day you could be matched with Lu Jin'an. But now that you no longer have that chance, why don't we give it a try?" Cheng Yi smiled gently, but it gave off a seductive feeling.
However, Shang Shixu didn't pay much attention to that at the moment; he thought about it for a moment.
If I don't have a partner, training will be difficult.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do a compatibility test first."
Cheng Yi smiled even more brightly upon hearing this: "How about now?"
Shang Shixu had no objection to this, but he said calmly, "You just addressed General Lu by his given name, which is very impolite. Don't do it again."
Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "You really admire him! You like him that much? AA relationships don't always end well. And haven't you heard? General Lu already has someone he likes."
Shang Shixu glared at him fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about again?"
"It was just a joke, why take it so seriously? Don't be angry." Cheng Yi raised his hands and apologized politely.
The two then went to the warship base together to conduct a compatibility test.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhilin had already taken Lu Jin'an and flown into space.
This was Gu Zhilin's first time in the universe, and he saw its appearance with his own eyes.
Looking at the Earth he lived on through the glass, he saw that the Earth was completely different from the pictures he had seen in the 21st century.
Almost all of it was submerged, with very little land remaining; in some places, it was impossible to tell whether it was ocean or land.
There was only a gray haze.
"Is this the Earth now?" he murmured. "Little R is truly despicable."
Lu Jin'an didn't understand what that meant: "What little Japan?"
Gu Zhilin then came to his senses and said calmly, "I've read your history textbooks. The cause of the apocalypse was a certain country in the 21st century discharging nuclear wastewater, right?"
Lu Jin'an nodded: "Yes."
"They're the ones who released it." Gu Zhilin's eyes were filled with hatred, but it quickly disappeared. "Sigh, but back then, humanity had already caused serious damage to the Earth. And it wasn't just one country that truly led to the apocalypse."
Lu Jin'an, who had not experienced life before the apocalypse, could not understand his feelings at this moment.
"Your lives must have been pretty good before the apocalypse."
When talking about life in the 21st century, Gu Zhilin couldn't help but smile: "Yes, back then we could enjoy natural food at will, and our living environment was full of red flowers and green leaves. There were tall buildings in the city, as well as the tranquility and comfort of the countryside."
Unfortunately, those days are gone forever.
Gu Zhilin didn't dwell on the past for long before quickly refocusing his attention on piloting the warship.
The universe is vast, but not entirely empty; meteorites and asteroids are everywhere.
He needed to dodge these meteorites and asteroids while piloting the warship.
The collision occurred.
Lu Jin'an didn't disturb him too much, and just watched her pilot the warship.
If necessary, fire ahead to clear away obstacles.
The two worked together very well.
Gu Zhilin sailed the warship around the moon: "This is the first time I've seen the moon so close. It's a memorable experience."
While saying it was a commemoration, after seeing the moon's appearance clearly, he piloted "Glory" back to the Earth base.
Even though it was his first time piloting it, he still managed to land "Glory" safely at the Earth Military Region's warship base.
The generals were already waiting here.
He was happy to see the two of them return.
"Xiao Gu, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." He happily stepped forward and patted Gu Zhilin's shoulder twice.
This person has a lot of strength; those two slaps made a loud "slap slap" sound.
Lu Jin'an frowned upon hearing this: "General Zhu, please be gentle."
"What? Is he a porcelain doll? He'll break with a single tap?" Zhu Jiangshuai rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
But when she looked at Gu Zhilin, she still smiled and said, "Good lad, 92% match rate, not bad! There aren't many pairs in the entire league with a match rate of over 90%. And you got matched with the best one."
Gu Zhilin lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, the tips of his ears already turning red.
Although he didn't mean anything by those words, he just felt embarrassed for some reason.
Lu Jin'an sighed and said, "It's not that he matched with me, it's that I matched with him."
"Can you stop protecting him like this all the time? You have to protect him no matter what I say." General Zhu couldn't stand him anymore and stood there glaring at Lu Jin'an.
"I know you two have a good relationship, but you don't need to protect him so tightly. He has to face some things on his own eventually."
Lu Jin'an knew he had misunderstood, so she explained, "I'm telling the truth."
"What's the meaning?"
"Gu Zhilin's mental strength is too powerful. I had to use all my strength to achieve this level of compatibility."
General Zhu was truly stunned. He thought that Lu Jin'an had held back to achieve such a high degree of compatibility, and he had even planned to remind Gu Zhilin not to be arrogant after praising him.
We must strive to achieve this level of compatibility even without Lu Jin'an holding back.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jin'an held nothing back.
He asked Gu Zhilin somewhat uncertainly, "What about you? Did you give it your all?"
When asked suddenly, Gu Zhilin instinctively shook his head: "No."
After saying it, I felt that my words were a bit hurtful.
So he looked at Lu Jin'an and saw that Lu Jin'an's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
It was as if what he just felt was his imagination.
General Zhu was surprised by his mental strength: "Is your mental strength that terrifying? I'm afraid there's no one else like it in the entire Earth Alliance."
