Standing in front of the counter, Ying Chenghe was experiencing the biggest embarrassment of his life for the first time. The clerk looked at the three of them with understanding and sympathy, as if to say:
Look, the poor are showing off.
Ying Chenghe wanted to buy a better computer, at most he would pay for it, but then he thought, if he paid for it, wouldn’t it be mixed in with their financial transactions?
Then he would be dishonest.
No wonder his parents told him to be more careful and not to make the wrong friends before coming to Shadu Star.
Forget Wei San, they were not familiar with each other in the first place, and he saw her sneaking outside the classroom the second time, anyway, she was not an honest person, although she had a pure and clean face.
Ying Chenghe didn't expect Jin Ke to be such a person. A 3S-level commander, no matter which military academy he was in, would be a sought-after talent. But he did such a thing, using a little money to deceive a girl.
Be careful in making friends!
These four words flashed back and forth in Ying Chenghe's mind.
"It does look better than the 2,500-yuan one." Jin Ke looked at the optical computer on Wei San's wrist, and finally concluded, "It's worth the money."
"What's so special about your 670,000-yuan optical computer?" Wei San turned his head and asked Jin Ke.
"Nothing special, probably more private, with a function to prevent being located."
"A bit expensive."
"I think so too."
After the two complained about the price of the optical computer, they turned to look at Ying Chenghe and said they would take him out to dinner.
Ying Chenghe didn't move. He felt that he shouldn't associate with them anymore.
"Let's go, what are you standing there for?" Jin Ke came up and hugged Ying Chenghe and walked out.
Jin Ke's attitude was natural. Ying Chenghe recalled that the two of them had been together before, and the other party was very normal. He thought that maybe he had misunderstood, so he asked casually: "Why did you transfer 50,000 star coins to Wei San?"
Jin Ke also said casually: "I went to her place to sleep."
Ying Chenghe: "..."
Speaking of this, Jin Ke had something to say: "It used to be 5,000 per time, but now the price has increased, 50,000."
"You can sleep if you want." Wei San said coldly.
In broad daylight, with people coming and going, these two people stood on the street and openly discussed how much it would cost to sleep.
Ying Chenghe felt a little suffocated and uncomfortable all over.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, the price of 50,000 is very suitable." Jin Ke pointed to a home furnishing store across the street, "I'll buy a quilt and pillows and put them at your place. The hard wooden board makes my butt hurt."
"Whatever you say."
Jin Ke said it and immediately took the two people in.
"This one is good." Jin Ke gestured to Wei San to look at a big red quilt placed at the door. He reached out and touched it. "It's soft and thick enough, and it's on sale."
Wei San's eyes turned around between the price tag and the two pillows on the bed: "Buy a quilt and get a pillow for free. Give me one." The pillows at school were uncomfortable to sleep on. "
Okay, one for your bed and one for mine." Jin Ke agreed happily.
Wei San tilted his head to look at him: "It's just a rental bed for one time. It's not your bed."
"I was wrong." Jin Ke changed his words very quickly and settled the bill quickly.
Wei San went to get the pillow that was packed separately. Ying Chenghe pulled Jin Ke and asked him: "...Aren't you sleeping in the same bed?"
Jin Ke was confused: "Why should we sleep in the same bed? There are four beds in her dormitory."
Speaking of this, Jin Ke's eyes lit up: "I haven't slept in the upper bunk yet, I'll go and experience it another day."
Ying Chenghe: "???"
"Why did you go to her dormitory to sleep?" Ying Chenghe asked with difficulty. At this moment, his thoughts were confused and he couldn't figure out what the two of them were doing.
Jin Ke showed an unfathomable look: "If the pressure is too great, go to her place, absorb the power of the master, and I will be fine again when I go back."
"So...you are not in that kind of relationship?" Although Ying Chenghe didn't understand Jin Ke's strange words, he knew that he might have misunderstood.
"What kind of relationship?" Jin Ke just finished asking, glanced at Ying Chenghe's face, and then thought about what he said to Wei San, and instantly understood.
Wei San came over with a packed pillow, and Jin Ke said to her: "Chenghe just suspected that we had a financial relationship, hahahaha!"
Since they met on Shadu Star, this was the first time Wei San saw Jin Ke laugh like this again, and he was too lazy to care, so he casually said: "I don't know what you think about every day."
Ying Chenghe: "..." Is he overthinking? Aren't they the two of them who are sometimes making money and sometimes sleeping?
The three of them walked on the street, talking non-stop, mainly because of Jin Ke's nagging.
"You are a mecha soldier, and I am just a weak commander. You should carry the quilt." Jin Ke had already stuffed the pillow to Ying Chenghe, and now she was trying to use the quilt to exchange for the pillow in Wei San's hand.
Wei San sneered, "Practice more, so that when you are beaten on the field, you can run more distance."
Damn, Jin Ke has liked to take advantage since he was a child. I don't know why he thought he was the one who was too poor to afford a meal.
"Who will pay for the meal later?" Jin Ke suddenly remembered and asked.
"I don't have money." Wei San refused to pay.
"I don't have much either." Jin Ke said calmly, then pointed at Ying Chenghe, "Chenghe, you just tarnished our reputations, you treat me to this meal."
Ying Chenghe: "?"
"Thank you for the treat." Wei San nodded to Ying Chenghe.
Ying Chenghe was brought into a restaurant that looked expensive. The two of them ordered the food and asked him to treat them.
He naturally looked down on this little money, but the problem was that he always felt that the two people opposite him were bullying him.
Ying Chenghe ordered his favorite wine, but Wei San refused to drink it. Instead, Jin Ke drank several glasses in a row.
By the end of the meal, Jin Ke was a little drunk, and she hugged Ying Chenghe and confessed her true feelings: "Don't you think it's a very happy thing to pick the money? Seeing your balance getting bigger and bigger, that kind of satisfaction is the happiest thing in the world. People like you who spend two hundred thousand at any time are not rich, but stupid."
"One is picking the money, and the other is stupid." Wei San walked beside and mocked.
Jin Ke pointed at Wei San and smiled: "There is still a poor one."
Ying Chenghe: "..." These two people are worthy of being friends.
But is picking the money very happy?
Ying Chenghe suddenly had the idea to give it a try.
...
Willard Star, West Port.
"Major!"
Shen Tukun was startled when he saw the newcomer, and then stood at attention and saluted.
Li Ze looked at the students who had gone through a year of competition: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It wasn't hard." Shen Tukun lowered his head, "It's just that we didn't get a ranking for the school."
"The important thing is that you are safe." Li Ze slightly turned his body to reveal the starship door, "Shadu Star is waiting for you to return."
The five tired S-level students and a thousand school team members boarded the starship one by one and returned to Shadu Star.
Shen Tukun finished washing up in the room, but did not rush to rest, but walked to the hall. He wanted to find someone to ask about the current situation of the school.
However, he happened to see Major Li Ze sitting at a round table, looking down at some information. Hearing the voice, he looked up: "Don't you want to rest?"
"I can't sleep." Shen Tukun was a little reserved. The man opposite him was like a mountain. Standing in his heart.
"Sit down." Li Ze pointed to the chair next to him, "Anything you want to ask?"
"I heard that there is a 3S commander among the freshmen this year?" Shen Tukun was busy with training and competitions, and didn't know much about the school.
Li Ze nodded: "This year's students are good."
If the major could say that the students are good, it means that there are powerful people among the freshmen this year. Shen Tukun breathed a sigh of relief.
"You will continue to participate in the next session. The others have already been confirmed." Li Ze looked at the student with a tired face, "Go to bed early."
The five main members and the school team who returned from the Hephaestus Competition were warmly welcomed by the school. Some students even customized banners that read "Welcome the heroes home. "
Wei San was in class and did not catch up with the lively scene when they arrived at the school, but he saw the video sent by Nie Haoqi.
"Fuck! @#¥@#"
Wei San turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Jin Ke who was passionately insulting the computer next to him: "What are you doing?"
Ying Chenghe also looked up at Jin Ke who had no control over his emotions at all.
Since the three of them came back from the street blast, they would gather in a classroom every Thursday. Wei San would bring up a bunch of random problems for Ying Chenghe to solve, while Jin Ke would go to the Star Network to read gossip, claiming to be aware of current affairs.
"Look." Jin Ke showed the video to the two of them.
[…Damocles Military Academy even pulled out a banner with a few big words on it: Welcome home, heroes. As everyone knows, Damocles Military Academy has not won any rankings for many years, except for the four years of Major Li Ze in District 13, it can be said that it has not won any prizes. Now Shen Tukun and others who have not won any rankings are actually treated as heroes when they return. I have to say that this is really an insult to the word "hero".]
The reporter in the video spoke mercilessly, and the mockery on his face was almost jumping out of the screen.
Wei San's eyes fell on the microphone in the reporter's hand: "Redwood Media?"
"The largest unofficial media in Starnet." Ying Chenghe knew this media, "It made a lot of money from the Hephaestus Competition. It is deeply loved by the audience because it can get the first-hand news of the champion team every time."
"Rubbish media, rubbish reporter." Jin Ke cursed again, but it was a pity that the media under this family was difficult to deal with.
"If they can't interview the champion team next year, will they be unpopular with the audience?" Wei San asked.
"Impossible." Ying Chenghe shook his head, "It has the Situ family as a shareholder. There is always a person from the Situ family among the candidates for the Imperial Military Academy competition."
Wei San raised his eyebrows and looked at Ying Chenghe: "You mean the champion will always be the Imperial Military Academy."
"I can't say forever, but it seems to be the case at the moment." Ying Chenghe was helpless.
"You can't do that." Wei San said earnestly, "Our school has 3S-level commanders and mecha masters. You said before that you have two 3S mecha soldiers. With this configuration, we can't win the championship. How can the Imperial Military Academy win it?"
"The confirmed news is that all five members of the Imperial Military Academy are 3S-level." Ying Chenghe said with some difficulty, "Besides, there are differences between 3S."
"Are all the other military academies 3S-level?" Wei San asked.
"No."
Wei San held his face with one hand: "There are a total of twelve games in the Hephaestus Competition. I don't believe that the Imperial Military Academy will always win the championship."
Ying Chenghe looked at Wei San's indifferent expression and suppressed the words on his lips. He wanted to say that she had not seen Ying Xingjue's terrible calculation ability, and she would know when the competition came.
"I've decided." Jin Ke held Wei San's hand seriously, "We must win a championship. Then we will stand on the podium and refuse interviews from the Redwood media."
Wei San was attracted by the other information in his words: "There is a podium but no prize money?"
"There is a trophy." Jin Ke looked at Wei San with pity, "And the school team can't stand on the podium, only the five main members can."
Ying Chenghe watched the two of them talk about a lot of things, and even started discussing what to do to make money after winning the championship.
One dares to speak, and the other dares to think.
