Chapter 20: Testing
Trust
Ahh ...
[What a beautiful picture! The atmosphere is amazing! ]
[The two people's hands clearly didn't touch, but I think this scene is even better than if they did!]
Two or three bean-sized raindrops fell rapidly, and a swift and rapid rain shower hit the ground.
Luo Wusheng and Shi Hanqiao fought side by side. They were not very close to each other. The only point of contact was the hands holding the two ends of the gun.
The gun body was pitch black and cold, but on both ends were equally slender white hands. The only difference was that the right hand was trembling slightly, while the left hand was firm and strong.
The invisible super-power was transmitted from his left hand to his right hand, and Luo Wusheng stopped trembling in the short rainstorm.
The rain had come and gone quickly. The night was still dark, the clouds thick, and the rain hadn't fallen through, suggesting that the clouds would remain overhead for some time to come, and that a bigger storm was yet to come.
"Give it back to me." Shi Hanqiao pulled the gun from his hand and put it back into his space button.
"What do you mean?!"
The five 'dead' people were stunned. After being awakened by the cold rain, they all rushed to the two people in anger.
Shi Hanqiao took a step forward: "Shut up, you dead man."
Luo Wusheng was surprised at this moment to realize that she was a little taller than him. Before, they were always side by side or facing each other. Firstly, the distance was far and there was a visual error, and secondly, he did not pay much attention to her appearance.
Now that she stood in front of him, the slight difference became apparent.
The last person who stood in front of him was the Demon Lord.
Luo Wusheng rubbed his eyes. His nerves were so tense that he had the illusion that he saw the Demon Lord.
"You are such a scum!"
"Instead of thinking about killing monsters to earn points, they attacked their classmates!"
"I've never seen an Omega as vicious as you."
"nausea!"
All five of them were Betas. Although they were not students majoring in military affairs, they were unwilling to just "die" like that, and died at the hands of their classmates.
They are 'dead' and can no longer take any action or reveal key information, but they can curse and harass the two people.
Half an hour later, the logistics team arrived and saw five "dead bodies" tied tightly with vines, with mud mixed with leaves stuffed in their mouths. They were squatting pitifully at the foot of the cliff, with messy hair and faces red from the cold wind.
The helicopter came and went, leaving only the two of them alone again.
Didi——
[Points: 13 in total] Eight teammates and the five people just now.
[Extra points: +10] This means the keyword is correct.
At the same time, at half past ten on the planet Xia, every commander received a message.
[The Command Department's special mission has been completed by Luo Wusheng (Sphinx). No additional points will be awarded for this mission from now on, but students can upload their guesses to verify the answer.]
A single stone caused a thousand ripples, at least the freshmen in the Conducting Department could no longer sleep well.
Shi Hanqiao slept soundly without any psychological burden. He didn't need to keep watch tonight because everyone else was still asleep.
As for the strange beasts, she simply said there were no signs of them living nearby. In fact, upon landing, Shi Hanqiao had already spread his spiritual power, covering the entire military training area.
The place where she sleeps is absolutely safe.
The tent, which can sleep five people, is large, with two people occupying each end, far apart.
But for Shi Hanqiao, she really didn't like sleeping in the same room with others. However, when she thought about it and realized that Luo Wusheng was W, she reluctantly suppressed the discomfort in her heart and closed her eyes.
Luo Wusheng on the other end thought he would not be able to sleep. The air in the tent was slightly cool, mixed with a hint of the scent of grass after the rain, which made people relax, and sleepiness gradually deepened along with his stretched nerves.
In a trance, he thought of the Demon Lord and Shi Hanqiao, and he seemed to feel the breath of the former.
As for the latter, Luo Wusheng thought vaguely that there was only the scent of grass in her breath, and she might really have pheromone deficiency syndrome.
Perhaps, he knew why he had the illusion that Shi Hanqiao was the Demon Lord. They both had a self-will that could not be diverted by external things.
That is to truly accept yourself consciously and love yourself forever.
It seems simple to say, but Luo Wusheng knows that it is really difficult.
Luo Wusheng fell into a deep sleep, and the nightmare from his childhood reappeared. In the dream, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
[Wuhu! Can I, a mere VIP, see this?!]
[Don't talk nonsense, they're separated, there's room for three people in between!]
[I'm wearing clothes, but you guys are taking them off first.]
[If you don't observe O morality, who will marry Luo Wusheng in the future? ]
[An unmarried Omega, who is not self-disciplined, actually lives and sleeps with an Alpha. ]
[So, the command department shouldn't have recruited Omegas. They could have just been designing mechas, instead of trying to show off.]
The initial discussion on Starnet was quite normal, but as time went on the topic became more and more about AO's gender.
One stone stirs up a thousand ripples, and countless voices express their opinions.
Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng were having some peace and quiet, but the turmoil online was getting more and more intense.
In the Joint Control Center, the large screen in the center changed several times due to the disputes among the teachers from various schools. Fox Eyes didn't say anything else. Ling Mie noticed that she had been looking down at her Star Brain screen.
[Are you looking at the answer submitted by Luo Wusheng? ]
Fox Eyes was indeed looking at Star Brain, and she sent a message almost immediately.
【yes】
What is the answer?
[Trade-offs]
【What's the meaning? 】
【you guess? 】
Guess! Guess! Guess! Guess what!
Ling Mie was furious. With his limited intelligence, he could only grasp the superficial meaning. Commanding a battle meant making choices in every battle. He didn't understand what these choices entailed in this military training.
After thinking about it, he decided to go and disturb his boss a little bit. After all, Shi Hanqiao was also her daughter.
Ling Mie first sent the questions and answers posed by Fox Eyes.
After waiting for a while, Shi Qi sent back a message, "The question is very good."
The two messages she sent next confused Ling Mie.
[According to your time, this should be the first night of military training.]
【Who solved it first? Please send me the detailed video.】
It was rare for Ling Mie to see the boss send two or more messages in a row. He could feel her concern from the words.
He quickly sent the video over. The scene started with Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng meeting next to a helicopter.
The other party immediately sent a message, [There is no need to send messages between the two of them from now on]
Ling Mie was completely confused, but he completely obeyed his orders, unlike when he faced the fox eyes and felt unwilling and resentful.
This is destined to be a sleepless night.
On the border, the Ninth Military Region
The woman with eyebrows and eyes that were somewhat similar to Shi Hanqiao's, but with a more serious look and a murderous aura around her, looked at the two people on the screen, leaned back in her chair, and pinched her eyebrows.
knock knock knock
Without waiting for Shi Qi to respond, the person outside opened the door himself. He was the only one who dared to do this. The person had delicate features and a firm gaze. His profile was somewhat similar to Shi Hanqiao's.
"Why are you here suddenly?" Shi Qi turned off the screen of Xingnao and reached out to pull the person into his arms.
"I can't sleep." Bai Shuiyang sat on her thighs, put his arms around her neck, sniffed the Alpha, and his heart, which had been pounding after the nightmare, suddenly slowed down.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Shi Qi asked with concern, hugging her slender waist. The murderous aura around him turned into gentleness around his fingers.
"I had a nightmare." When Bai Shuiyang thought of the scene in his dream, his heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by a hand, making him feel very uncomfortable.
He clung to the Alpha's neck tightly, like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid."
The patient comfort, the gentle pat on the back and the reassuring atmosphere made Bai Shuiyang calm down again. He raised his head from her shoulder and said, "Let's find time to go to Xiya Star, okay?"
The Sphinx was built on the planet West Asia.
Shi Qi raised his hand to wipe the red corners of his lover's eyes, his voice becoming a little hoarse: "Who did you dream about?"
"I dreamed of Qiao Qiao." Bai Shuiyang's voice was trembling. "Not long after I gave birth to her, I came to the border with you. In the past seventeen years, I have only been able to go back to see her a few times. I have always felt guilty about her, and over the years I have used research to numb the guilt, but..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and he buried his head in Alpha's shoulder and neck, and hot tears fell on Alpha's shoulder and neck.
A complex sadness flashed across Shi Qi's eyes, but she eventually calmed down. She tilted her head and licked the Omega's slender and fragile neck, then gently bit it, her sharp teeth piercing the neck.
Omega's glands are very sensitive, and surrounded by the scent of his Alpha, Bai Shuiyang quickly pulled himself out of the sad and grief, and replaced it with trembling all over his body.
"Your mood has become increasingly unstable recently."
Omega can soothe the manic Alpha, and Alpha can also soothe the sensitive Omega. Shi Qi suppressed the emotions in his heart and focused on soothing his emotions.
She had been busy until very late recently, and when she returned to her room, she saw that he always had a frown on his face in his sleep.
"I've been having nightmares lately, and you're not here." Bai Shuiyang's tone inevitably dragged on. The pheromones pouring into his glands made him half drunk and half awake, with the sad and uncomfortable emotions and the physical pleasure pulling at the limit.
Shi Qi restrained his waist, releasing more of his pheromones into his glands, and leaned close to his ear to coax, "What did you dream about?"
A few days ago, she asked him what his nightmare was, but he never said anything. He just said that he missed Shi Hanqiao and wanted to go back to see her.
"I, I dreamed, dreamed,..."
Bai Shuiyang tilted his head back and took deep breaths, his words incomplete. His body instinctively dodged backwards, but his lower back was tightly wrapped with arms, leaving him with no way to escape. He could only lean on the Alpha and breathe lightly.
Bai Shuiyang's cheeks flushed, his heart was gripped by the emotional and physical pain, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
"Jojo is gone."
Shi Qi closed her eyes and suppressed the emotions that had been buried in her heart for decades. She held the Omega with the same strength as when he had held her neck tightly before.
She took a deep breath, suppressed all her emotions, straightened her back, opened her eyes, gently held the Omega's face, and kissed the corners of his eyes where tears were flowing.
"Be good, it's okay, dreams are always the opposite."
"Qiao Qiao," Shi Qi paused, rubbing his palm on his lower back for a long time before slowly saying, "She's still here."
"Really?" Bai Shuiyang's tearful eyes were a little blurry, and he looked at his Alpha with complete trust.
"real."
Shi Qi closed his eyes and relied on his experience to accurately capture the Omega's soft lips. The light pink bud finally blossomed into a crimson flower.
Inside the room, the two pheromones intertwined, indistinguishable from each other, until dawn.
As dawn breaks, the earth gradually wakes up.
Luo Wusheng was woken up by the smell of fragrance. As he opened his eyes, his stomach growled loudly.
After leaving the tent, Shi Hanqiao built a fire not far away and set up a simple rack with a chicken skewered on it. A few drops of oil fell from the golden surface, and sparks flew everywhere.
There was a pot of cooked porridge next to it, and a small stool was placed around it with two sets of tableware on it.
[I'm really unlucky. Last night, there wasn't a single weapon or piece of armor in the five space buttons. They were just pots, pans, and other household items, along with some uncooked grain.]
[I'm dying of laughter. I really feel like I'm here camping.]
[Honestly, an Alpha who can cook is so charming! ]
[To be honest, among the Alphas I know, even being able to distinguish between grains is good enough, let alone cooking.]
【To be honest, what I said before is correct.】
[What kind of peerless Alpha is Shi Hanqiao! ]
[Luo Wusheng is so happy, this couple is so sweet! ]
[You can take anything now, right? You don't even care about backstabbing your teammates anymore.]
[And Luo Wusheng, he and Shi Hanqiao are birds of a feather. He also "killed" five people.]
[The military academy will definitely not tolerate students with bad character. Please report any of these students directly.]
"The school hasn't said anything yet, and you've already made your own conclusions. Everyone goes to the battlefield without you, and your typing output and attacks are incredibly powerful, right?"
Netizens were fed up with the constant debate on Starnet. Besides, while Shi Hanqiao was a bad person, the military academy remained silent, so no one dared to come to a definitive conclusion.
"This is a freshman in our Imperial Military Academy." The Imperial Military Academy proudly introduced the Alpha who had just killed a B-level monster alone. The consequence of obtaining huge points was that he was seriously injured, but fortunately his teammates were all there and united and harmonious, and they also won medicine for injuries.
The large screen in the center changed to the Royal Military Academy team. This team initially attracted attention because it was the only Alpha in the team. Now it occupied the large screen because the handsome Omega commanded a nearly perfect battle.
With the same team consisting of one A, one O and eight Betas, and only AO being a military professional, there are only five people left in the team, but they hunted down an A-level monster.
You know, for students who have not received formal training, it is already good enough to escape from the hands of A-level monsters.
The Royal Military Academy teacher looked at the Sphinx teacher with a smile. "Our school also has an Omega commander this year. At first, I was worried that some people would disobey his command, but now it seems that this worry is unnecessary."
The other side was secretly trying to pull down Luo Wusheng and Shi Hanqiao. Of course, the Sphinx teacher could hear it. He kept smiling at the Royal teacher, turned his head and rolled his eyes calmly.
He looked at the only commander present, his fox-like eyes fixed on the big screen, but occasionally glanced at the small screen in the corner. The Sphinx teacher felt confident and ignored the other party's boasting.
Ling Mie secretly sent a message to Fox Eyes, [What do you think of this Omega command?]
He just sent it casually, but he didn't expect to receive a straightforward answer from the other party for the first time.
【A little bit off】
There is always a comparison between good and bad.
At present, he can only be compared with Luo Wusheng.
Ling Mie tentatively asked why. If Fox Eyes replied to him with "guess" again this time, he promised to duel with her when he got home!
【Two points】
[One, didn't see through it; two, saw through it and deliberately consumed teammates to gain points]
She didn't say anything more. Ling Mie looked at the second sentence and couldn't help but shudder.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to lament that the commander's heart was cold and heartless or unfathomable.
Ling Mie once again turned his gaze towards the screen. Compared to the other teams that were actively adding points and presenting intense scenes, the two people in the corner suddenly changed their style. They didn't look like they were here for military training, but rather for a camping trip.
"It tastes good!" Luo Wusheng's eyes lit up. If he had natural food to eat, he would definitely not choose nutritional supplements and compressed biscuits.
Shi Hanqiao obviously didn't intend to 'serve' the other party, so she asked casually, "Can you cook?"
Luo Wusheng paused: "No."
Omegas all take courses like cooking, handicrafts, and flower arrangement, but he is an exception. His schedule is full of mecha battles, combat command, etc.
Shi Hanqiao suddenly missed the robot butler at home. He was the one who raised the original owner, but it was a pity that he was such a good cook.
Hunyuan Ling discovered the monitoring system and modified the program. After that, the food he cooked was not as delicious as before.
Between nutritional supplements, compressed biscuits, and cooking for himself, Shi Hanqiao chose the latter without hesitation. "During the military training, I'll cook and you do the odd jobs."
Luo Wusheng was not angry at her direct assignment in a commanding tone. He thought the assignment was reasonable. Besides, he didn't want to eat the compressed biscuits with nutritional supplements, so he nodded in agreement after drinking the white porridge.
After dinner, Shi Hanqiao lazily nestled in the unfolded recliner, watching the young man cleaning up with boredom.
"What are your plans next?"
Last night, they had just started a conversation behind the shield when five people jumped out to interrupt. Luo Wusheng glanced back and continued to clean up. "What do you think?"
"You are the captain now, and you are in charge of the command department. You should take the lead."
Shi Hanqiao said nonchalantly that her purpose of staying must be different from that of normal people in military training. She supported her face with one hand and observed his emotional changes.
Last night’s discovery gave her inspiration. Luo Wusheng’s eyes were not only beautiful when he was angry, but also when he was entangled and helpless.
She also wanted to see what other emotions his eyes would show when he fell to the ground.
Luo Wusheng didn't respond for a long time. After he finished cleaning up, he slowly pulled out a recliner of the same style and sat opposite Shi Hanqiao.
"Then I speak, do you listen?"
His fingers tapped twice on the armrest, Shi Hanqiao's eyes bright with interest. "Why should I listen to you?"
[It starts again, it starts again! ]
【I don’t understand the series, add another video. 】
[These two are sometimes sweet and sometimes sad, so addictive! ]
[You're just passing the buck. Can you please talk properly every time? It's exhausting.]
[The one who exposed his IQ earlier, please stop showing us your brain.]
It seems like a repetitive conversation that is played around with each other, but in fact, the two are just testing each other normally.
This kind of temptation is not a test of the individual, but a test of the level of strength.
The two get along fairly peacefully and can be considered to trust each other, but that doesn't stop them from questioning each other's abilities.
This was a military training. Although Shi Hanqiao's attitude didn't seem like she wanted to win, Luo Wusheng still accepted her doubts about his own strength.
The commander will give all his trust to his teammates, trusting that they can complete all the orders he issues, no matter how difficult the order may seem. But at the same time, the teammates must also give all their trust to the commander, trusting that they can complete the orders he issues.
As teammates, the person giving the command and the one following the command must give full trust to each other, only then can it be considered a real team.
Regardless of whether it is a voluntary or randomly formed team of ten, as long as they cannot fully trust each other, they cannot be considered true companions.
No matter in the past or now, Shi Hanqiao only trusts herself the most, and she will not trust her back to others.
As for the times when he stood in front of W and Luo Wusheng, she attributed these two times to the sustainable observation of maintaining the toy. He was too weak and did not pose a threat to her.
"So I don't intend to order you." Luo Wusheng could try to give Shi Hanqiao trust, but she was unwilling to return the same trust, so there was no point in talking about it.
This kind of trust is different from ordinary trust. It does not affect the relationship between the two people. It only affects the relationship between the two people on the battlefield, or more precisely, on the military training ground.
In other words, the two of them failed to reach an agreement and could not become partners who could trust each other.
Luo Wusheng took the initiative to suggest: "Let's discuss it."
This means giving up some command authority, and dual command is a taboo in combat.
Of course, there have been some excellent double commanders in history who cooperated well and achieved the effect of 11>2.
However, in most cases, it fails. It is rare to meet someone who can "resonate with" you.
What's more, Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng are Alpha and Omega. Their primary gender, secondary gender, mental strength, and physical constitution are completely different, so the possibility of achieving "absolute tacit understanding" is only zero.
Luo Wusheng confessed his purpose: "I want to survive to the end."
"During military training, if you can convince me that you can survive to the end, then I can 'sacrifice' to protect you."
In fact, according to the hidden rules, it would be the same no matter who survives to the end between Luo Wusheng and Shi Hanqiao.
The only way to achieve a better result is for both of them to survive.
Shi Hanqiao looked seriously into the phoenix eyes that flashed with determination, and raised his brows slightly. "You command, and I reserve the right to question and make suggestions."
In fact, the two of them still discussed it together, but on the surface, Shi Hanqiao was mainly under Luo Wusheng's command.
After a pause, Shi Hanqiao seemed to remember something and added, "You do the chores."
Looking up and meeting her serious and solemn gaze, Luo Wusheng couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, I'll do it."
【Author’s words】
A demon who resolutely refuses to do chores~
Joe: I cooked! I don't mind if I don't wash the dishes!
Sheng: I’ll take care of your meals from now on!
Me: Ah, no, don’t make random promises, you haven’t unlocked the cooking skill tree!
(Although other skill trees could be arranged...)
