Chapter 122 League 8, Half a Year Later
"We have to be on duty 24 hours a day. What if you are attacked by a star beast at night?"
Wen You's tone sounded as if she was used to it.
Qu Tong silently sympathized with them in his heart, but it was just sympathy.
Qu Tong brought back a box of exotic beast soup and a box of cherry tomatoes for Wen You, Cheng Feng, and Si Yuting respectively. As their financial situation was tight, they didn't bother with combining meat and vegetables, so they just brought rice.
Although Qu Tong doesn’t have a lunch box, Wen You does.
As long as it does not affect the fairness of the competition, instructors can interact with students. This rule is still very flexible.
After Wen You left, Xu An and others couldn't wait to start eating.
Qu Tong cooked a lot. Even without other side dishes, a pot of delicious soup filled with exotic animal meat was enough to satisfy one's appetite.
If they can’t finish the food, it will be wasted tomorrow. Fei Wenxing and his friends even drank up all the soup.
Qu Tong was stunned: "Are you full? Do you want to cook some more?"
Several people said they were full and did not forget to praise Qu Tong's cooking skills.
Although the exotic beast meat in the competition field is free, they have no purification fluid and no skills, so they can only drink tasteless nutrient solution to survive.
"Eat some fruit after dinner to relieve your greasiness." Qu Tong took out some cherry tomatoes and shared them with everyone.
"Sister Tong, I don't want to eat anymore. I'm too full." Cheng Yao said with some regret.
Qu Tong gave it to Xu An and the others again, and Xu An smiled awkwardly, indicating that he didn't want to eat it anymore.
In the end, only the three girls ate some.
Qu Tong thought of a statement on the Internet and felt it was particularly apt.
When a man says he is full, he will spit out any extra bite he takes. When a woman says she is full, she can still eat some fruit snacks, or maybe even have a cup of milk tea.
Maybe it was because they were full and satisfied, several people felt that their mental state was much better.
Sitting around the fire, we discussed tonight's duties.
In the interstellar age, people with high physical fitness have relatively good physical fitness, so staying up late is not a big problem at all.
But the problem is that everyone has been fighting all day today, and has consumed too much physical and mental energy. They need a good rest to cope with tomorrow's battle.
"I'll take care of the night, you guys go to sleep." Qu Tong suggested.
"No, you are so weak, how can we let you stand guard at night?" Xu An was the first to disagree.
"Yes, Sister Tong, you are a weak woman, how can we let you keep watch at night? Let us men do it." Cheng Yao also said.
"Although I am a woman, I am not weak. I can also stand guard at night." Song Ke raised his hand.
"I am the most relaxed one in our team. Apart from collecting herbs and traveling, I basically don't have to do any work. It would be better for me to do it instead of letting you guys fall asleep on night duty." Qu Tong analyzed the situation to everyone.
"I can't let you stay on duty alone at night. I'm worried. Let me do it." Xu An insisted.
"Sister Tong, you should take a rest. Let us come. If you don't get enough rest, how can you lead us to find the star beast tomorrow?" Fei Wenxing advised.
In his heart, Qu Tong’s role is much more important than theirs.
Qu Tong received everyone's concern but did not reject it outright. Instead, he said:
"Given your current condition, I am the most suitable person to take the night shift. Although my physical fitness is F, as you can see, I usually exercise. I am not as weak as you think. Guarding the night will not affect tomorrow's schedule."
"But..." Several people knew that what Qu Tong said made sense, but they were still a little hesitant, always feeling that this was not a good idea.
"How about this, I'll guard the first half of the night, and let He Zhou guard the second half." Qu Tong adopted a compromise.
Because He Zhou doesn't have a mecha, and because of her energy liquid, she has the most remaining spiritual power among them.
"I have no objection," said He Zhou.
The others reluctantly accepted the arrangement.
"I haven't consumed much. I can keep watch with the Crown Princess." Rong Yueqing spoke in time.
"Alright."
Qu Tong did not refuse, so as not to make Rong Yueqing feel uneasy.
But Rong Yueqing was weak after all, and controlling the mecha in the last wave consumed a lot of her mental energy. She fell asleep leaning against a tree within two hours, and Qu Tong did not call her.
He released his mental strength and leaned against the tree trunk, closing his eyes and resting.

After Si Yuting received the call from Wen You, he completed and handed over the remaining patrol tasks before returning to the teaching base.
Si Yuting took the lunch box from Wen You, and when he saw the familiar note on the lunch box, his eyes moved.
This time the note was not rolled up but was directly pasted on the lunch box, but the cute handwriting made it recognizable at a glance.
After receiving food from his young wife frequently, he has gone from being at a loss at first to accepting it calmly now.
This feeling is not bad.
He also paid attention to the competition and his wife's performance was quite impressive.
Although he did not participate in the battle, he was really outstanding as the captain of a team.
Being calm, commanding properly and acting decisively can enable each team member to play to their respective strengths.
I really don’t know how many unexpected surprises she has hidden.
He was the only one on duty in the command room tonight, so Si Yuting didn't bother and opened the lunch box on the spot.
A box of broth and a plate of cherry tomatoes.
Si Yuting noticed something different the moment he took the first sip of the soup.
The stronger a person's mental power is, the more accurately they can perceive changes in mental power. So even though he has sufficient mental power now, he can still feel the energy in the soup.
Considering the situation of their competition, if you think about it carefully, you can guess that energy liquid was added to the soup.
After Si Yuting finished eating the food, he checked the level of his mental power and the conclusion he came to shocked him slightly.
He asked Wu Yue to find out that Miss Ali's Temple of the God of Wealth had sold energy liquid, and he had also watched the review video.
He also had someone find a way to buy back another bottle of energy liquid, which has an astonishing effect on restoring mental strength and is currently undergoing various research.
The energy liquid found by the Sixth Legion on the black market is similar to the energy liquid in Miss Ali's Temple of Wealth.
The effect is good, and the nutrient solution test tube is used without any markings on the bottle.
Now that Qu Tong had this energy liquid in his hand, he was almost certain that it came from Miss Ali or Mr. Yuan.
Si Yuting was stroking the note, thinking about something with his eyelids slightly lowered.
The time had unknowingly passed 12 o'clock, and a prompt popped up on the computer that was not turned off.
Si Yuting lowered his eyes and looked at the marked reminder he had made on the calendar half a year ago, feeling a little dazed.
I clicked on the prompt interface and saw their marriage registration interface again after half a year.
Suddenly, I remembered the pair of smiling eyes under the blue-ringed silver moon. They were filled with stars, lively and bright, yet as cunning as a fox.
I looked at the note on my palm. It didn't say much, just a few words: [Your Highness, you have worked hard.]
At the end, there is a hand-drawn cute expression.
The title changed, even on the note, to Your Highness.
The imperial admiral, who had always been self-disciplined, aloof and noble, chuckled softly, tapped the light computer with his slender fingertips, and deleted the notes word by word.
Then he rolled up the paper carefully.
Keep it well.
