Chapter 26 Discussion
You are not
"A white bracelet?"
As soon as the female A who called Shi Hanqiao "Qiao Mei" finished speaking, the male A next to her moved quietly behind Mo Wushuang, with a dagger across her neck.
Female A's companion, Yu Rongshui, was also being pointed at by Luo Wusheng with a gun.
"Bai Muxue, Bai Muqi, what do you two mean?!"
"It's nothing interesting, I just want to win." Female A took two steps forward, and the black anklet that blended in with the black combat pants was revealed.
The Dragon City duo, who had no command and no idea what was going on, also keenly sensed that something was wrong and remained on guard in silence.
The four teams of eight people at the scene were in a situation where they were on guard against each other.
No, except for Shi Hanqiao who was leaning against the tree. She seemed to have lost touch with the tense atmosphere and yawned slowly, attracting everyone's attention.
"What are you looking at?"
She glanced at Yu Rongshui and Mo Wushuang's white bracelets. "Kill them both and leave immediately. What are you still hesitating about?"
"No, don't kill us!"
The two female A's from the Royal Military Academy were very flexible. They opened their hands to indicate that they had no weapons. They vaguely understood the current situation.
But since they are not dead yet, they still want to live and fight for a chance to win.
Luo Wusheng and Bai Muqi, one did not shoot, and the other did not get the command of his sister to assassinate.
"Since you don't want to kill me, then take me away."
Shi Hanqiao slowly stood up and walked into the jungle first.
"Is this a good place to talk? If you have anything to say, please leave."
The two commanders present, Luo Wusheng and Bai Muxue, talked briefly and then took their men to follow, and Long Cheng and the other two also followed.
The road was easy to walk on during a clear day. The mountain gate and the road up the mountain were in two directions. After walking for about five hours, the group returned to the natural mountain wall where Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng originally stationed.
【Wow! After going around in circles, we're back to where we started.】
[Qiao Mei can lead the way, okay? We're back to the old place again, planning to continue camping? Hahahaha!]
What's for lunch? Millet porridge or pumpkin porridge? Roast chicken or roast duck?
The live broadcasts of four teams of eight people merged into one, and Shi Han, Qiao Luo and Wu Sheng's audiences started to play memes tacitly, while the other audiences were confused.
What are these people talking about? I wonder if they have some serious illness!
This is military training, not camping. How could there be such things as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, roast chicken and roast duck?
"What are you doing?!"
Bai Muxue wanted to test Luo Wusheng's thoughts, so she saw him put away the gun, and then release firewood from the space button to make a fire, with a skillful technique as if he had done it countless times.
Luo Wusheng set up the shelves, arranged the kitchen utensils, took out a chair, and did all the preparations for Shi Hanqiao.
He left the seat to Shi Hanqiao and led everyone to the side.
"You all understand the situation now, right?"
"I have a rough idea, but if you don't mind, I'd still like to ask you to explain the details and specific rules." Ling Shuang sat down and explained, "After all, we don't have a commander, and we've come this far by accident."
Her attitude was extremely humble, in stark contrast to her aggressive temperament, and her eyes jumped back and forth between female A and male O.
Bai Muxue and Luo Wusheng were both in command, but Ling Shuang's gaze lingered longer on the former. She wasn't some straight A who thought it was shameful to obey an Omega's orders.
However, this was also her first time meeting an Omega commander, and she didn't know how to communicate with him, so she habitually turned to the familiar Alpha commander.
Bai Muxue looked at Luo Wusheng and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Bai Muxue, he is my brother Bai Muqi, and Qiao Mei is our cousin."
"You are Luo Wusheng, right? The one who guessed and submitted the keywords on the first day."
After everyone briefly introduced themselves, Bai Muxue took the initiative to give her analysis.
"Let's start with the first seven days. Each of us received a detailed guide of nearly thirty pages, detailing how many points we'd earn for hunting different kinds of exotic beasts and gathering certain herbs. Also, the first page on each of our screens was a points ranking list. All of this information told us that this military training was a points competition, and the team with the most points would be the winner."
"No one told us this rule directly. The information revealed everywhere was guiding us in this direction. A detailed document of nearly 30 pages completely obscured a lot of important information."
"Indeed, I had a doubt from the beginning," Ling Shuang said. "The four military academies' joint military training, I thought it was just an elimination round for all freshmen majoring in military disciplines. But after boarding the starship, I realized there were also students majoring in non-military disciplines, and they made up a significant proportion. Out of the 200,000 freshmen, they made up nearly three-quarters."
"I don't understand the point of this arrangement."
"Major Ling Mie once said the rule for military majors is to survive!" Bai Muxue continued, "So during this military training, freshmen who aren't majoring in military majors will definitely die. Judging by the elimination rate over the first seven days, the overall casualties are too low. The idea of survival is meaningless and not even worth mentioning."
"I'm more inclined to believe that the first seven days are a period of decision-making and adaptation."
Luo Wusheng asked, "How did the freshmen in your team who were not majoring in military affairs get eliminated?"
The Dragon City duo: "The beasts attacked three of us, and none of us made it past the Solitary Peak."
When Luo Wusheng's gaze swept over, the captured Royal Military Academy duo pointed at themselves in surprise, and then said truthfully: "Four of them were poisoned while picking herbs, and the other four have not yet walked through the Solitary Peak."
"What good luck." Bai Muxue muttered, and then she found Luo Wusheng's burning gaze on her. She smiled bitterly and said, "Three people couldn't escape the attack of the strange beast."
"The remaining five... I eliminated them on the night the mission was issued."
There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the people from the Royal Family and Dragon City, and then they all looked at Luo Wusheng.
"Kill them and they're out." Luo Wusheng's voice was calm, without any emotion.
Bai Muxue praised him generously: "You are worthy of being the one who successfully guessed the key words on the first day."
"no--"
"Pumpkin porridge?"
Luo Wusheng's explanation was interrupted by Shi Hanqiao. He turned around and said "okay", stopped explaining, and gestured for Bai Muxue to continue her analysis.
"Trade-offs. I hesitated for a long time on this key word."
She took a deep breath and continued, "I think it's very neutral. It's very balanced, with gains and losses coexisting simultaneously. I believe this military training isn't just about survival. If it were simply about survival, there'd be no need to put 200,000 freshmen on the same page and broadcast it live across the entire network."
"Because my brother and I were on the same team, I quickly noticed my attitude towards the other teammates. At first, everyone was very silent. After a few times of working together, the unfamiliarity dissipated and the tacit understanding improved, but I still felt a sense of disharmony."
"The freshmen from non-military majors couldn't achieve perfect coordination with us. I don't mean to belittle them. From an objective perspective, the gap in our physical fitness levels is too great. After two hours of walking on frozen ground, they were already exhausted and panting."
"That was the first time the thought of abandoning them crossed my mind, but I didn't dwell on it. I just followed normal humanitarian principles and moved forward with everyone."
"However, as their physical strength declined and the permafrost environment became harsher, the desire to give up became stronger and stronger. This idea was not in line with the education we received, but it lingered."
"I hesitated for a long time until the first mission was issued on the evening of the seventh day. I made a choice. My brother and I couldn't possibly lead five other non-military professionals to the summit of Lone Peak in seven days."
"The second mission proved my approach was correct. Our opponents were five people, two of whom were non-military majors. The freshmen military majors were an Alpha and two Betas. The latter were severely injured while trying to save the first two, and even after entering the repair chamber, they were unable to recover."
"I don't even need my brother to make a move. I'll have them eliminated." Bai Muxue was a commander. In terms of strength, speed and other hard factors, she was definitely no match for Bai Muqi. "I've analyzed their data. If the opponent's Alpha and Beta were not in a damaged state, our disadvantage would be even greater."
"It was only then that I realized what Major Ling Mie meant by 'stay alive'."
"Joint military training, in name only, is actually competition. Our four schools are ranked separately, and we don't interfere with each other. While there will undoubtedly be conflicts over points, these conflicts aren't major, and won't reach a life-and-death struggle. So, it appears that the teams from the four major military academies are in competition. While this competition was very weak during the first seven days, it does exist."
"However, I just overturned this view. It is also a confusing message." Bai Muxue patted her brother's leg and stretched out her own leg. There were black anklets on both ankles.
Her eyes swept over Long Cheng's black armlet, Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng's pinky rings, and finally landed on the white bracelet of the Royal Military Academy.
"You 'killed' the first squad to come out of the Royal Military Academy, our teammates."
The Dragon City duo looked at Luo Wusheng with more surprise and vigilance. The Royal duo looked at each other and guessed that the first team to arrive from their school must be Ander or Liesen.
Luo Wusheng didn't shy away from the question: "Personal grudge."
Bai Muxue first looked at her brother, then glanced at Qiao Mei in the distance, and nodded slightly.
"learn."
Not to mention the weak royal kinship, they have the same Alpha father but different Omega mothers, so naturally there is no affection between them.
The first team of the Royal Military Academy will either have Ander or Liesen.
It was an acquaintance group. The other six people, including the two female A's from the Royal Military Academy, were all known to each other.
The Longcheng duo looked at each other and decided to remain silent. At the same time, they couldn't help but sniff the air and look behind Luo Wusheng from time to time.
Bai Muxue asked: "You are damaging your own wings, so have you considered the third task?"
She moved her nose and her eyes passed Luo Wusheng and fell behind him.
"It depends on their decision."
Luo Wusheng turned to the two captives from the Royal Military Academy, throwing two space buttons in his hand, which were seized from the two men.
Bai Muxue asked tentatively, "So, have our three teams successfully formed a team?"
Luo Wusheng nodded: "This is what I think. The four schools are ranked separately, which means there are four first places in the end. We have no conflict of interest. At the same time, they all took the black space ornaments. There must be a purpose behind it."
"I can guarantee that I will never attack anyone from your two teams."
"Okay, us too." Bai Muxue's tone was quite gentle, or perhaps her willingness to follow revealed the attitude she had decided on from the beginning.
In the league a year from now, Luo Wusheng will definitely be a tough opponent. Nothing is better than cooperation and understanding the opponent more peacefully.
The Dragon City duo also agreed that the two could keep up with their analysis, but they did not give any orders.
They understood the deeper meaning behind the conversation between the two people. The third task was likely that their three teams would be surrounded and attacked by the remaining people.
If you want to win, you have to choose a camp. Oh no, when they were the first team to come out of Dragon City, they were already secretly divided into camps.
Yu Rongshui and Mo Wushuang looked at each other and expressed their opinions one after another.
"We are willing to join you and follow your command."
"Now the first team of the Royal Military Academy has been eliminated. You don't have enough combat power, and we two just don't have a commander. Whether you choose the camp behind or yours, it's the same."
Their attitudes seem quite sincere.
"It's different." Luo Wusheng pointed out the key point: "If you choose the latter camp, you can die now."
The phoenix eyes swept across the two of them lightly, seemingly calm, but hiding murderous intent.
"No! We want to win!"
"Betting on Alpha's glory."
The two men said in unison: "We are willing to completely obey your command during this military training."
"Even if we meet Leshen later? Will you two obey my orders?"
Luo Wusheng raised his eyebrows. He didn't even realize that his mentality and some small habits were becoming more like Shi Hanqiao's.
The two of them were silent at the same time. They looked at each other for a long time and made a decision.
They both expressed their opinions at the same time and had a plan in mind.
Since Luo Wusheng said so, Ander might be among the first team to arrive at the Royal Military Academy.
They didn't want to go against Lessen, not just because he was their commander.
But they also want to win.
Competitiveness is a gene ingrained in Alphas, but the degree to which it manifests itself varies from person to person.
"During this military training, we will completely obey your command. Even if Lisen comes, we are still competitors."
"Okay, let me be frank. You are non-staff members of the alliance. Whether you officially join depends on your attitude and the third mission."
Girl A from the Royal Military Academy had no objection at all and was slightly surprised that Luo Wusheng was quite easy to talk to.
An alliance of eight people and four teams was temporarily formed.
"You take charge."
Bai Muxue took the initiative to withdraw from the battle for command with a faint smile on her face.
She watched the whole process, and only realized when Luo Wusheng "threatened" the two female A's that he had no intention of "killing" them from the beginning.
He had been listening for most of the time, occasionally speaking to take control of the conversation. His analysis of her acting skills also helped him establish his authority.
Luo Wusheng had been planning this from the very beginning. He first 'captured' two people from the Royal Military Academy. The contrast between their different identities would cause them a certain amount of anxiety and oppression. Then, through her analysis, he made people feel that he was approachable but irresistible, thereby establishing his command prestige.
From there, he would offer a sweet treat after a good fight, testing the attitudes of the two female A's and ensuring they willingly followed his orders. His core focus was never on unity and friendship, but rather on a win-win situation.
Bai Muxue knew her limitations, so she didn't fight for command. Instead, she slowed down and observed Luo Wusheng. She had a feeling he had discovered many rules she hadn't yet grasped, as well as the meaning of "trade-offs."
The fragrant breeze kept blowing, unconsciously pulling her thoughts to another corner.
"good."
Luo Wusheng agreed and let Bai Muxue observe.
After spending a long time with Mo Zun and Shi Hanqiao, he was also influenced by their arrogance.
"We've finished discussing this, so can we start eating?"
Bai Muxue stood up actively, sniffed the fragrance in the air, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
"You'll have to ask her about that."
Luo Wusheng couldn't control Shi Hanqiao, so a group of people hurriedly surrounded her.
"Dear cousin, you—"
"I'm not familiar with her, so you don't have a share." Shi Hanqiao refused coldly and avoided the hand that Bai Muxue extended.
"Then why can he?"
Girl A pointed at Luo Wusheng. She hadn't seen her little cousin for a while, and Shi Hanqiao seemed like a different person.
However, she didn't hate this change, she just thought it was more interesting.
Because he is W.
Shi Hanqiao restrained his expression and only mentioned his exposed vest: "Because he is silent, and-"
"He is my commander, not you."
