Cen Yu looked up at Li Chonghe.
He glanced down at the bottle the other person had handed him, took it, and gulped it down in one go.
At this moment, he was completely soaked in water, his hair and clothes were covered in sweat... but because of the odor barrier, Li Chonghe could only smell the familiar scent of the barrier.
Besides, he's only a Beta.
Even without using odor blockers, Cen Yu couldn't smell anything at this moment.
"What are you doing here?" Cen Yu held the empty bottle in his hand and looked at Li Chonghe, who was wearing training clothes and seemed to have just come out of the simulation chamber.
“I’m in charge of this area,” Li Chonghe said.
As an assistant instructor for close combat classes, he was also in charge of the school's simulation pods... He glanced at Cen Yu's exhausted appearance and said, "Let's go back first."
After seeing the post in the Black Mud Zone, he came to the training ground.
Despite the many speculations about Cen Yu, Li Chonghe knew that the other party's level could not possibly start from beginner teaching. With these doubts, he came to the training ground.
Seeing Cen Yu drenched in sweat and nearly exhausted, he guessed that Cen Yu had probably challenged the difficult mode in the beginner tutorial.
However, these are not topics that can be discussed here.
Li Chonghe looked down at Cen Yu's profile and the collarbone exposed under the loose T-shirt. "Your roommate is here to pick you up."
As he spoke, he gestured for Cen Yu to look at the entrance to the training ground.
Cen Yu followed Li Chonghe's gaze and saw Lan Yao standing at the entrance of the training ground. After realizing that the two of them had seen him, Lan Yao waved and greeted them before slowly walking over.
He also handed Cen Yu a bottle of medicine to restore his mental strength, and then asked Li Chonghe, "Is the Minister here to see Cen Yu too?"
“I’m no longer the minister.” Li Chonghe nodded. “I was worried because he was in newbie mode and hadn’t come out, so I came to check on him.”
Lan Yao didn't pay attention to Li Chonghe's words that he wasn't a minister.
“Then I’ll take Cen Yu back first.” He said, putting his hand on Cen Yu’s shoulder. “Wen Xihe is back.” He said to Cen Yu.
Cen Yu felt like he was covered in sweat... He avoided Lan Yao's hand, "What are Wen Xi and I doing back here?"
"Is he better?"
"Looks like he's almost fully recovered." Lan Yao didn't mind Cen Yu's dodging action. He held up the communicator. "Sang Huaizhou told me he's doing well."
"Annoying," Cen Yu muttered.
Lan Yao smiled good-naturedly.
Then he draped his coat over Cen Yu's shoulders.
“?” Cen Yu looked at him, puzzled.
"You're covered in sweat, I'm worried you'll catch a cold."
"Are you crazy?" Cen Yu said. "I'm an Alpha, I won't catch a cold."
Li Chonghe watched their interaction with a smile. "Then I'll take my leave first," he said, nodding to them before returning to his original spot.
Lan Yao nodded and left with Cen Yu.
After the two left, Li Chonghe's gaze turned to their retreating figures—
Worried about catching a cold?
He sneered inwardly; what a ridiculous excuse.
...
After leaving the training ground, Cen Yu tossed his jacket to Lan Yao, saying, "You can wear this yourself."
Lan Yao didn't say anything, he just put the coat on himself.
The two followed the corridor and quickly returned to their dormitory. To their surprise, the living room was empty, and both Sang Huaizhou's and Wen Xihe's room doors were closed.
"Did they go out?" Cen Yu asked.
"Probably not," Lan Yao said.
Cen Yu didn't mind. He went back to his room to get a change of clothes and then went to the bathroom to take a shower... Lan Yao sat on the sofa, ready to check the voting results of the dormitory supervisors on the forum.
People in the Black Mud Zone are still discussing why Cen Yu chose the beginner mode.
And what exactly did Cen Yu do in the beginner mode that made him crawl out of the training pod drenched in sweat?
[It's such a pity the Second Prince came then, otherwise we would have seen Cen Yu's face (sigh)]
What's upstairs trying to do? There's a gay guy right next to me (scared)
"...I understand what you're trying to say, bro. After all, Cen Yu, who's usually arrogant and looks down on everyone, actually trained until he was completely exhausted before crawling out of the training pod. At that point, even if someone wanted to beat him up, they wouldn't be able to fight back."
Explain clearly what you want to use to beat someone up.
[Unexpectedly, we're beset by troubles; the Second Prince is here, and Lan Yao is here too...]
[Who can blame them when their roommates have such a good relationship? :)]
Aside from the Black Mud Zone, the other zones were more normal. Everyone was discussing the list of dormitory supervisors and asking if any of the selected candidates were more reliable.
Some even said that they thought Li Chonghe was a good person, and that Wen Xihe's incident was an accident, so there was no need for him to resign.
Immediately afterward, someone countered that if the incident of Wen Xi and losing control escalated and caused mental disturbances, it would result in others being blown up, and Li Chonghe would certainly be held responsible.
Lan Yao glanced at it and knew that the student council and the dormitory supervisors had started their power struggle again.
After he finished reading all the posts, Cen Yu also finished showering and came out of the bathroom.
"I'm going to the training ground tomorrow too," Lan Yao called out to Cen Yu, looking up at him. "Want to team up?"
Cen Yu refused outright, saying, "I have other plans for tomorrow."
After being rejected, Lan Yao simply nodded, "Alright, feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."
...
Even when Cen Yu went to class the next day, he still felt listless.
It was as if he had suddenly exhausted too much mental energy, making it impossible for him to recover temporarily. Fortunately, today's class was a theory class, and the old lady on the stage was introducing them to the basic information of the Zerg, as well as their sphere of influence and weaknesses.
"The Zerg overlords are divided into seven noble clans," the old woman said slowly. "Overlords are difficult to be born, and in recent years, the most powerful overlord has become the second noble clan, the Night King."
"Compared to other overlords, they rarely appear on planets with human activity."
"Most of the time is spent storing energy and sleeping."
Therefore, compared to those insects that have no intelligence and only the instinct to devour and plunder, the Ohmu are highly intelligent. Their overall social structure is similar to that of an empire, but there is no unified king; instead, there is a council composed of seven noble Ohmu.
Cen Yu propped his head up, feeling drowsy...
"The anthropomorphic state of the Queen Mushrooms is almost indistinguishable; they can even mimic human Alpha or Omega pheromones."
"Only a little."
"No matter how closely the King Worm imitates humans, it is never a human. If you observe carefully, you will always be able to detect the inconsistencies."
"Especially behind them."
"A closer look reveals traces of elytra that were not completely covered up."
