Chapter 43: The Smell of a Good-for-Nothing
Mingnuo brought Mianhua all the way back to the dormitory. Along the way, Mianhua seemed to regard everything he saw as his territory, and passers-by were enemies who invaded his territory. He put on a posture as if he was ready to attack at any time, staring at every student around him with a fierce look.
This big, furry white ball fiercely scares away any student who tries to touch its fur.
Mingnuo had to apologize to the frightened students, saying, "He's in a bad mood today. You'd better not get close to him."
The classmates all moved away from them. One of them, clearly a seasoned pet owner, asked Sedwick, "Did you neglect to socialize it when it was young, or were you always aggressive and angry around it? Pets tend to take on their owners' personalities to some extent."
Sedwick: "..."
Ming Nuo was embarrassed. He pressed Cotton to his side and explained, "...I actually raised it."
The classmate was silent for a moment, looking at the little prince with an apologetic face and a soft apology, and then looked at the grinning white-haired ball, as if it was going to bite him to pieces and eat him in the next second.
This shouldn't be the case... My classmates questioned their long-held beliefs about pet ownership. Isn't it true that a cute little thing should raise a cute little thing? How could this little little thing raise a sad tiger?
The classmate left in a daze. Ming Nuo looked at his shocked face and thought that Cotton had frightened him. He pointed at Cotton's nose and warned it sternly, "If you scare me again, your dinner tonight will be cut in half, and there will be no midnight snack either."
Mianhua noticed that Mingnuo was showing signs of anger, so he carefully raised his head and rubbed his chin, "Woo woo~"
Ming Nuo: "Just take it as your agreement."
In the second half of the journey, Cotton became much more obedient and followed Mingnuo and Sedwick obediently. Every time he wanted to show his teeth, he would glance at Mingnuo and then forcibly suppress the desire to destroy in his heart.
After returning safely to the dormitory door, Mingnuo praised Mianhua: "You are so good. I will give you an extra meal tonight."
Just as he was about to enter the dormitory, he heard footsteps behind him. Ming Nuo turned his head and his face suddenly darkened. He saw the annoying Saroyan walking towards him.
Saroyan had not expected to see him and Sedwick. He glanced at Sedwick who was standing behind Silent and Silence, and finally understood why it was always said that Stuart would always be the sharpest sword in Perseus's hand.
The two of them always get bored of being together.
Saroyan complained in his heart, looked up at their dormitory number, made a disdainful "tsk" sound, opened the door and walked into the dormitory opposite them, but when he passed Mingnuo, he paused slightly.
The irritable mood that had been bothering him seemed to have vanished at this moment, and he felt an inexplicable sense of joy and relief, as if he were ill. Saroyan looked at Mingnuo twice, and when he met his eyes that had become unusually bright due to anger, his heart beat faster for two seconds.
"Tsk!" Ming Nuo retorted in a louder voice, "What are you looking at? Want to quarrel? I'm not afraid of you at all."
He straightened his back with great authority and glanced at Sedwick. The latter received his eye signal, stepped forward and stood next to Mingnuo.
Mingnuo raised his chin slightly, with the corners of his lips curled up. There were two of them, and Sedwick was also very strong in quarrels, so he would definitely not lose to Saroyan.
Cotton turned his head and looked around, and keenly noticed that Mingnuo hated this two-legged beast. Mingnuo was a very miserable fellow. Not only did he have no hair, he also had no hard shell to protect himself, so it had to protect him!
Cotton arched his back and growled at Saroyan, his dark green eyes fixed on Saroyan and his tail swung vigorously.
Saroyan stared at Mingnuo intently. After a few seconds, he suddenly came to his senses and sneered in anger, "Childish."
Then he slammed the dormitory door shut.
Ming Nuo looked at the door frame that was shaking slightly due to the violent slamming of the door, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. Is childish a word used to insult people? How come this person is less aggressive than him?
Sedwick held the back of his neck and said in a low voice, "Leave him alone."
The hand on his neck felt slightly cold, and Ming Nuo felt very comfortable in it. He did not slap his hand away. He looked up at Sedwick in this posture and asked in confusion: "Are you angry? Why?"
"Not angry."
"Your mood is not right. You are clearly angry, or sulking." Ming Nuo made sense and looked at him suspiciously, "Who provoked you?"
Sedwick pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and looked at him for a few seconds, then quickly looked away, "You think too much."
No way, Mingnuo was very confident in his guess, but Sedwick refused to admit it, so he had no choice but to stop dwelling on it.
Field and Lin Yu had already returned to the dormitory. Seeing them bringing Bai Mian back, Lin Yu was the first to ask with concern, "Is Mianhua okay?"
"The professor said it's healthy and a new breed. We'll have to wait for her to do more research to find out the details." Ming Nuo said as he poured a full bowl of pet food for Cotton. "If it's bald, it's probably shedding. I'll buy it some hair-removing cream and it'll be fine."
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and touched the cotton that was working hard, "That's good."
Field crossed his hands behind his head. After listening to Mingnuo's words, he said in surprise: "It really is a new species. How did it get into your suitcase?"
Ming Nuo was also curious about this and sighed regretfully, "I should have checked the surveillance footage when I went back last time. It must have sneaked into the suitcase while I was packing."
"By the way, I can ask my uncle to help me check it out."
Mingnuo couldn't wait to entrust this matter to Uncle Seren. After the message was sent, his uncle immediately agreed to him and told him that the result would be out tomorrow.
The next second, Professor Irina sent another message, "Your Highness, could you please send me some more cotton tomorrow? I have a guess about its variety and would like to confirm it."
Ming Nuo immediately agreed. [Okay, thank you, Professor. [Image: lamb holding flower.jpg.]]
"Baby Nono~" Field suddenly came over and hooked his arm around Mingno's neck, "Do you know about the joint confrontation exercise in a month? I wonder if we have the honor to invite you to be our teammate."
Mingnuo turned off his smart computer and said to Field with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm sorry, but I've already promised Sedwick."
Field: "...We are a team."
Ming Nuo was surprised, "Really?"
Field: "So you don't even know what a joint confrontation exercise is or how many people are on the participating teams? Sedwick invited you and you just agreed?!"
Ming Nuo said sullenly, "Anyway, he was the one fighting, so I just played the role of cheering him on."
So it doesn’t matter whether he knows it or not, because he doesn’t have to put in any effort to fly it anyway.
Field looked at Mingno and Sedwick and silently gave them a thumbs up. He was impressed by their awareness.
After Field's explanation, Mingnuo realized that this was a competition in which teams of four to five people fought and eliminated each other. It was a huge competition organized by the military, and the winning team could enter the military in advance.
The matter was of great importance, and Ming Nuo became nervous. "I will train hard and will not hold you back."
Lin Yu chuckled and said, "Your joining our team is already the greatest help to us."
At the end of each competition, there is a competition of mental strength level and stability program. Whoever's mental strength is exhausted first will be eliminated first, and Mingnuo's existence is equivalent to a bug in this competition.
As long as Mingnuo is there, even if he does nothing, he alone can ensure stable output for the three of them.
Ming Nuo was fully aware of his own strength, which was pathetically weak and laughable.
When his brother taught him practical combat skills, he was ruthlessly crushed the entire time. Even when fighting against the weakest Uncle Birdwin, he still lost.
But this time he can't keep waiting for his friends to help him. Mingnuo hinted that he has made up his mind that he must train well during this period and must not fall behind.
For this purpose, Mingnuo specially chose a mecha course.
Mecha class is a compulsory course for Sedwick and his classmates. The next day, Mingnuo happily followed them to class. This was also the first time he met the students of the entire command department.
Each of them is tall and has long legs. No matter whether they are boys or girls, they are all over 1.8 meters tall, and their tight combat uniforms reveal powerful muscle lines.
The teacher had not arrived yet, so they gathered in groups of three or four, but they would glance at Mingnuo from time to time. Every time Mingnuo looked at them, they would smile at him friendly.
Ming Nuo was the shortest of the group. He looked at his classmates in the command department, whose arms were thicker than his thighs, and quietly asked Sedwick, "Will they also participate in the joint confrontation exercise?"
Sedwick: "Of course."
Ming Nuo was so nervous that he wanted to bite his nails, but there were too many people around. He felt embarrassed to look up, so he put his hand down silently. "Are you really not going to consider choosing a more capable teammate?"
Sedwick sighed, looked at the uneasy Mingnuo, raised his hand and pressed the back of his neck, "You are the best, no doubt."
Ming Nuo: "Don't flatter me."
Sedwick: "..."
This guy always knows how to kill a conversation with just one sentence.
Not far from them, Saroyan stood with Eli's roommate from the Sechuan Empire.
Oliver, the roommate, noticed his own prince staring at little Prince Perseus. Thinking of the unpleasantness they had yesterday, he couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, this Prince Lorian has a bad temper. You... you need to be patient."
After all, as Mingnuo's relative, Eli had to try to please him for several days before he could win his favor.
"You also know that he has a bad temper?" Saroyan glanced at him meaningfully. "It seems not everyone is blind."
It seems that the entire Starnet is filled with Lorian's mother fans, who keep praising him for his good personality and calling him the cutest and most lovable prince ever.
Even in school, Lorian had a very good reputation. It seemed that no one disliked him, and he was loved by people throughout the empire.
This was simply unbelievable and incomprehensible to Saroyan. In the Sechuan Empire, commoners were not allowed to discuss nobles, let alone members of the royal family.
It must be the Perseus royal family that is manipulating public opinion, controlling people's hearts, and secretly maintaining their rule.
Soon the mecha instructor arrived at the training ground. He looked around at the proud students of the empire. When he saw Ming Nuo, he paused and chuckled, "It seems there are new students in this class, but the plan remains the same. Now, to the mechas."
The ground was shaking, and huge mechas slowly rose from the ground. The students walked towards the mechas. Ming Nuo stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Sedwick took his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, just come with me."
Ming Nuo followed him and looked around, "What are you doing?"
Sedwick: "Go inside the mech for practical training."
Ming Nuo was stunned: "...I haven't learned anything yet. This is my first class."
Sedwick was full of confidence: "Don't worry, I'm here."
The mecha teacher was calm and composed. He held a loud speaker and said, "Other students, please help teach the new students. If you don't understand something, ask Sharp. But this also proves that you haven't been paying attention in class. You will be deducted credits as a warning."
The mecha provided to the students for practice this time was an ordinary C-class mecha, and the cab could only accommodate two people. Ming Nuo lowered his eyes anxiously when he learned that there would be actual combat later.
Suddenly he saw the familiar Oliver, greeted him, and said embarrassedly: "Hey, can you please not hit us later? I'm not very good at operating the mecha yet."
Saroyan had already boarded the mecha in advance, and Oliver was just a step slower. Unexpectedly, he was spoken to by Mingnuo.
Mingnuo's voice was soft. When he approached, Oliver seemed to smell a fresh fragrance. His breathing became rapid at this moment. Oliver didn't even dare to look into Mingnuo's beautiful sky blue eyes.
His face flushed crimson, he lowered his head, and nodded haltingly, "Okay, okay."
Sedwick pulled Mingnuo away. Mingnuo was very grateful to Oliver, a good classmate, and said, "Thank you."
Oliver waved to Ming Nuo reluctantly: "No, you're welcome."
Then he stood there, staring at Mingnuo's back in a daze for a long time.
Saroyan, who was already sitting in the driver's seat and watching this scene, had a dark face.
What a useless thing!
