Chapter 88 Special Assignment
Lily barely had time to enjoy her summer vacation before she packed up and reported to the capital. She immediately began a month-long field training, during which she was cut off from all contact with the outside world, including her family. Military academy students were considered the equivalent of military reserve personnel, so Wen Le and the others, despite their concerns, dared not contact her. Furthermore, even if they did, they wouldn't be able to reach her.
Xu Dongdong successfully passed the interview at Yunhua and became an intern. Not only does he have to run around the house with his teacher every day, but he also has to complete the assignments. He's so busy he almost wants to stay in the lab 24/7. He even complained to Wen Le and Li Zhenzhen over the phone, "You have no idea how exhausted I am right now. My god, it's unbearable. If I had known it would be this tiring, with all the chores and homework, I wouldn't have even come for the interview."
The little fat boy had been pampered from childhood until now, and had never suffered any hardship. Now that he was suddenly so busy, he was a little overwhelmed. These were not the most important things. The most important thing was: "These people are crazy. They are scheming against each other all day long just for a regular position. The content is more exciting than the most popular palace drama recently. There is a senior in our group who came here three months earlier than me. Now he wants to stay at the teacher's house 24 hours a day. If you didn't see the fawning look on his face, I bet if the teacher asked him to get on the ground and bark like a dog, he would not hesitate.
There's also this guy who acts like the Big Brother and wants to be in charge of everything. And if the teacher shows up, he's guaranteed to show up within a minute, like he's got radar. Sometimes I even wonder if he's got a tracking device on the teacher, because otherwise, how could he show up so quickly? I'm telling you, if Bear Dad hadn't threatened to freeze my account, I wouldn't be here putting up with this humiliation. It's so frustrating!
And you know what? We're only ten people in our group, but we're split into four small groups, and there are two fence-sitters who only want to take sides. Not only that, but they're also trying to sow discord. Don't you know how chaotic our group is behind the scenes? "
He really regretted it now. Why had he agreed to the Yunhua interview? Looking back, Xu Dongdong felt that he was really naive at the time. He was so excited for two days after receiving the interview notice, as if he had won the lottery. Looking back now, it turned out that the tears he was shedding now were indeed the water that entered his mind back then. How foolish.
Wen Le and Li Zhenzhen didn't know what else to say, they could only comfort him that these were only temporary and he should just think of it as training himself.
Xu Dongdong said dejectedly that he could only think this way, otherwise he would go crazy.
After pouring out his grievances, Xu Dongdong didn't forget to seek benefits for himself, saying that he had been exhausted by all the bad things recently and had lost two pounds in less than a month. He must make up for it and asked Li Zhenzhen and Wen Le to bring him some delicious food. He also said that he was so busy that he had no time to sleep and definitely didn't have time to come out to get it, so he asked his friends to make sure to send the food to him at the company.
Wen Le couldn't help but complain, "If you're lazy, just say it. You laid all that groundwork just so we can bring you food, right? Okay, Lily and I will go to the mall later and pick out some of your favorites and bring them over to you."
Wen Le knew the fat kid all too well. With his impulsive personality, he could easily be criticized for anything. He wasn't one to take a loss. He must have suffered some injustice, perhaps even being ostracized. Seeing how pitiful he was, Wen Le decided to buy him some extra food to comfort his wounded heart.
Li Zhenzhen lamented, "Now I feel that my father is really hard-working. He has to manage so many people and also take care of business matters. No wonder he has white hair."
At this point, the girl decided to call her father later. She hadn't sent him a message for two days because she was busy with graduation matters. She felt a little guilty and sorry for her father.
…
When Wen Le and Li Zhenzhen saw Xu Dongdong, they didn't notice he'd lost weight at all. Instead, they thought he'd gained weight, evidenced by his already small eyes, which had narrowed to a slit. Wen Le reached out and grabbed the fat man's neck, sternly asking, "Tell me the truth, you've gained weight, haven't you?" The fat man had actually dared to deceive him. He'd thought he'd lost weight because he'd been wronged, and had even gone to the mall to pick up some of the most expensive food to give him a boost. But the fat man had actually lied to him to gain sympathy. It was unforgivable.
Xu Dongdong rolled his eyes from being strangled. He struggled, yet still defended himself: "What can I do? I did lose two pounds when I weighed myself this morning, but after eating breakfast, I gained them all back." Not only did he gain them back, but he was actually a lot heavier than before. Of course, he would never tell Wen Le this last part. Fat people have dignity too!
"And you don't know, my master's wife is so enthusiastic. Every time my master takes me to her house, she will invite me to dinner and cook a big table of delicious food. How can I bear to refuse the food that my master's wife has worked so hard to prepare? Of course I will eat it all!" After eating so much, wouldn't he gain weight again?
Now even Li Zhenzhen couldn't help but say to him: "Can't you eat less? Look how fat you are. Can you even open your eyes?" She seriously doubted whether this guy could see clearly now.
"I can't eat less." Xu Dongdong spread his hands helplessly, "You don't know how enthusiastic the master's wife is. She always puts food in my bowl, and puts more food for me after I finish eating. As a civilized and polite young man of the new century, can I let the master's wife down? Of course not." So of course, all the food was eaten~
Wen Le was speechless at his unreasonable words. He was about to hand him the shopping bag, but he turned it in mid-air and took it back. "Since you're living such a comfortable life, I guess you don't need these foods. I'll take them back for Cancan. They're quite expensive and shouldn't be wasted."
During his last shift, someone actually fed him on a regular basis. His life was even more comfortable than his. So he wouldn't give away the food he bought, otherwise he would feel really unbalanced.
Xu Dongdong quickly reached out and snatched the shopping bag away: "Don't worry, I've already delivered it to you. How can I let you take it back? That would be so rude."
Li Zhenzhen looked at the fat man with a playful face and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
…
After graduation, everyone was busy, leaving only Wen Le and Li Zhenzhen. They'd originally planned a graduation trip, but now it felt boring to go out with just the two of them. Li Chenggong, worried about his precious daughter being alone with a young boy like Wen Le, feigned illness to trick his daughter back home. Now, Wen Le and Jin Cancan were the only ones left.
Wen Le didn’t notice it when his friends were around, but now that they are suddenly not around, he feels a little uncomfortable.
He rubbed his golden furry head and muttered, "It's just the two of us left."
Jin Cancan nudged Wen Le with his head, deliberately making cute noises to act cute. This made Wen Le sigh again, thinking that the big cat had grown up and now knew how to comfort people, something he would never have dared to think about before.
Just when Wen Le and Jin Cancan were bored, the system suddenly popped up and told them that Teacher Hu wanted to see them and asked them to enter the virtual classroom quickly.
Wen Le knew that Mr. Hu had a bad temper, so he didn't dare to delay entering the virtual classroom.
When he entered, Teacher Hu was already standing there waiting for him. Seeing Wen Le appear, he couldn't help but stare at him with his chin raised. It was not until Wen Le felt uneasy about being stared at that he reluctantly said, "I heard that you have been very free recently? In that case, I will assign you an outdoor homework.
Since you've already graduated and don't have plans to continue your studies at a higher level, why not go out and forage for herbs in the wild? Understanding the habitats where herbs grow is fundamental to being a qualified healer. How can you create a perfect potion if you don't even understand the natural habitats of the herbs?
"Okay. It's decided. You go down and pack your luggage and leave tonight. There's no limit to the destination, but you have to write a herbal observation diary every day and hand it in to me for correction." The implication was that he would read it carefully and let Wen Le not try to fool him.
Wen Le: “…”
This task is incredibly large. It's true that one shouldn't be too pretentious. I wouldn't have complained about being bored earlier. Now I've been given a task like this...
"What? You don't want to?" Teacher Hu's round eyes glared at Wen Le, and immediately his scalp tingled. He quickly said, "Yes, I am willing to do this task!" Just kidding, at this time, even if he didn't want to, he had to say yes, otherwise he would be in big trouble if he angered this ancestor.
What's more, he also knew that this was for his own good. As long as he could learn something, Wen Le would be willing to do it no matter how hard or tiring it was.
So Wen Le quickly packed his luggage after coming out of the virtual classroom. He stuffed all the things he needed for camping into his golden private space, followed by some food and common medicines. As for clothes, he actually brought the least.
You can buy them elsewhere anyway, so you don’t have to carry these things around and take up space.
As for where they were going, Teacher Hu did not say it clearly. He just told them to go wherever they wanted and just get to know the local specialty medicinal herbs. Everything else was up to them.
Wen Le simply let Jin Cancan choose the place, treating it as a special trip. Their first destination was the place that Da Miao wanted to go.
In this way, you can take into account both playing and completing tasks, and truly achieve neither delay. As for the wilderness that Mr. Hu mentioned, this kind of wilderness exists on every planet, and remote suburbs or nearby woods can all be called wilderness. This is very maneuverable.
