Chapter 125 Internship
Wen Le was helpless: "How can you be like this? I always have to pay for everything..." If it weren't for the fact that they grew up together, he would definitely not want to be taken advantage of.
"Who told you to make so much money~" said the fat man.
Wen Le snorted: "I'll remember what you said. When you become a mecha maker in the future, I will definitely come back. Just wait!"
Mech Builder is one of the most popular professions in StarCraft, second only to Healer. You have to know that in the StarCraft era, there is no one who doesn't love mechs. Many people want to own a mech of their own, even if they can't drive it, they still want to buy one to collect.
But these mechas are not cheap.
Mecha Builders, like Healers, have ranks. Xu Dongdong is still an intern. Once he's able to independently complete some important mecha parts, he'll earn the title of One-Star Mecha Builder, and his salary will be several times higher than his current salary. As for independently building an entire mecha, he needs to be at least Two-Star. If Xu Dongdong can independently build an entire mecha by the end of his internship, his rank will automatically be upgraded to Two-Star.
Wen Le's "treat" was about waiting until Xu Dongdong became a two-star mecha builder. He had great confidence in his friend. Over the past few years, Xu Dongdong's family had provided him with countless resources for training, and they had even sponsored a significant amount of materials. Although Xu Dongdong's father claimed to leave his son alone, he had secretly used his connections to find him teachers. For example, he had tickets to a master mecha builder's open class on Star Online, a class not easily accessible to just anyone.
Xu Dongdong was able to snatch the ticket because his father had secretly arranged it long ago; the ticket was supposed to be his. However, his father thought his son would be overly proud if he found out, so he kept it a secret and even asked the secretary who handled the matter to keep it a secret. So, Xu Dongdong still doesn't know that while his father scolded him harshly, he was actually secretly watching his every move and even providing him with a lot of support.
Xu Dongdong laughed after hearing what Wen Le said: "That will have to wait until I earn more than you." But now it seems that there is not much hope in this life. So he still has to let his friends treat him~
How could Wen Le not see what his little friend was thinking? He couldn't help but raise his eyelids and glance at him. He silently remembered his words in his heart and decided to find a chance to eat it back in the future.
Lily asked Xu Dongdong: "Have you changed your internship job?"
Changing jobs at this time was actually quite stressful for Xu Dongdong. After all, half a year had already passed, and those mecha masters who were willing to take on interns already had their own teams. Forcing Xu Dongdong to join them would definitely not be welcomed. He might even be ostracized. Back in the Pentagram branch, those people would fight tooth and nail for a regular position, let alone a position at headquarters.
Xu Dongdong obviously thought of this, so he said: "I have applied for another internship with the company, and I will join a new team next year." He didn't want to continue scheming with others. The life he had before was tiring just thinking about it, not to mention that he had to be parachuted in this time.
Things will be different next year. With the halo of being a student at the Imperial Capital Star Mecha Academy and the added bonus of his half-year internship experience at the branch, the headquarters will definitely assign him more professional teachers and teams. Although intrigue for quotas is inevitable, his state of mind is different after all.
Wen Le also agreed with him, mainly because being dropped in so suddenly was too uncomfortable, and it was particularly awkward to interact with others at first. For example, it took him over a month to integrate into the group. Moreover, they trained all day long, so as long as he didn't slack off and hold them back during training, it would be easier for him to fit in.
After all, Imperial Capital Military Academy was different from other schools; it prioritized strength. Strength naturally spoke with confidence, and classmates wouldn't be too repulsive. Otherwise, Wen Le would have had a difficult time.
Since Xu Dongdong didn't want to get involved in this mess, Wen Le still supported her.
"These six months are a good opportunity to put my experience into my studies," Wen Le said. "Besides, the teachers at school are not necessarily worse than the ones in the company. If I study hard, I can use these six months to lay a solid foundation. Then, when I return to the company next year, I'll be more confident."
"I think so too." Xu Dongdong nodded, and he felt that it was really degrading to fight with a group of people for a place.
Li Zhenzhen also said that this was a good idea, and maybe he wouldn't have to do an internship next year and could be given a regular position directly.
"Now the four of us are together again~" Xu Dongdong hooked his arm around Wen Le's neck, "So Wen Xiaole, don't try to change the subject, treat me, treat me, let's go to a seven-star restaurant~" He said, hooking his arm around Wen Le and walking out without saying anything. Today's meal had to be treated, whether he wanted to or not~
…
Wen Le's prescription was negotiated, and the military finally agreed to award him a first-class merit and open the herb warehouse to him, allowing him to choose any herbs within a certain price range. This offer was much more valuable than simply offering money. Money is easy to earn, but some herbs are not always available.
Just like the special material mutated durian in the durian-flavored anesthetic he made, the second material was given to him by Teacher Hu. If he looked for it himself, he might not be able to find it. Even if he offered a bounty at the mercenary guild, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Whether he could find what he needed depended on luck.
As for luck... Wen Le felt that he never seemed to have that kind of thing...
Thinking of this, Wen Le suddenly felt depressed.
On second thought, isn't this also a kind of luck? If there hadn't been that hijacking incident, there wouldn't have been any attention from all sides, and there wouldn't have been any benefits.
This is probably what is meant by the saying that misfortune and fortune are interdependent.
Thinking this way, I feel relieved.
…
Life passed in this uneventful manner for half a year. During this period, Wen Le and his friends followed the instructor on several missions. During the holidays, they got together with their friends, and in the blink of an eye, it was the New Year.
This time it was Wen Le's turn to slump in the chair like a salted fish, because they didn't have a holiday for the New Year!
It's not that the school doesn't have holidays, but military academy students can't go back home for the New Year holiday, they have to do internships in the army. This is very frustrating because he can't go back to Abandoned Star for the New Year!
He hadn't been back in ages. Ovi had sent him some videos showing how much Abandoned Star had changed in recent years. The saplings he'd planted had grown, and while it wasn't exactly a lush green, it was still a blanket of green. So Wen Le really wanted to go back and take a look. Sand rabbits had become a specialty of Abandoned Star. Wen Le even saw sand rabbit meat for sale in the fresh produce section of a mall a while ago, with the origin clearly marked as Abandoned Star.
Not only was he pleasantly surprised, but he also felt a surge of pride, which made him want to go back and take a look.
As a result, I can't go anywhere now.
This is very infuriating.
Wen Le puffed up his face. It was really depressing that he couldn't go home to celebrate the New Year.
Xu Dongdong chuckled and said, "Then we can only go back by ourselves this time~"
That sleazy look was truly irritating, and even more so, I decided to just go for it. The fat guy hadn't been getting enough exercise since school, and Wen Le had been trained by the devilish instructor for so long, so his fighting power had skyrocketed. The outcome of a head-on confrontation between Xu Dongdong and Wen Le was predictable: the fat guy would naturally lose.
After being beaten, Xu Dongdong rubbed his arm with a grimace and muttered, "Wen Xiaole, you've learned bad habits... You never used to be so careless as to resort to violence."
Lily glanced over: "Where you paused just now, were you talking about me?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Dongdong quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no! I never said that!" Then she made a zipper-pulling gesture at her mouth to indicate that she was shutting up.
Li Zhenzhen came over and patted his head like a puppy: "You better be more careful."
Xu Dongdong: “…”
Everyone comes to bully him, he feels wronged!
After a get-together with their friends, Wen Le and Lily were packed up and sent to the legion below the next day. They were assigned to different places because they majored in different subjects.
Lily went to the Ninth Legion. It's unknown how much their legion commander offered the school to secure Lily's internship. If the internship is confirmed, and nothing unexpected happens, Lily will be assigned to the Ninth Legion after graduation. Consequently, the various legions are vying for student internships.
Students with outstanding performance from the major military academies were particularly sought after. This was also the time when they ceded territory and paid compensation to the schools, and the schools generally took advantage of the situation to extract a large sum. This was also due to the mutual dislike between the military academies and the military academies. Neither wanted to give up the meat they had already eaten.
As for Wen Le, his destination had actually been decided long ago, though he himself was unaware of it. This time, he was heading to the First Legion, known for its fiercest and most powerful combat capabilities.
They usually carry out more dangerous missions and have the most contact with space pirates and Zerg, and are known as the Iron-Blooded Division.
Of course, dangers coexist with opportunities. The First Legion performs the most dangerous tasks, but it is also the legion where military merits increase the fastest and the rank increases the fastest.
Anyone who comes out of this legion has a higher position than those in other legions. Therefore, even if other legions compete with each other in private, they dare not provoke people from the First Legion openly.
Because of his profession, Wen Le was assigned to the Logistics Department as an intern military doctor. Here, Wen Le had no choice but to keep his head down, as his seniors were all healers of comparable rank, leading him to wonder if the association had sent all the three-star healers here.
However, this also made him realize that there are always people better than him, and there are many people in this world who are more capable than him. This realization made his tail, which had been puffed up a little by the praise, shrink back.
