Chapter 7: No Motivation
After a "friendly exchange" with his new deskmate, He Qing finally met his beloved mentor.
The instructor was a middle-aged man who was unkempt, with flaxen hair, a small braid on his back, a leaf stuck in his ear, wise eyes, and a very decadent look. He walked back and forth on the podium holding a small notebook:
"My name is Qiao Yi, and I'm the instructor in charge of your class. You will graduate in a year, so this year's military training will be replaced by internships. Classes will start in a month, so please feel free to come or not."
Qiao Yi stopped talking here, propped up the desk and looked at everyone: "As long as you don't fail the final course, you can graduate. If you don't pass, you will be expelled. There will be no second chance. I hope you understand."
“I understand!” the students answered in unison.
The First Academy can be said to be strict, or not strict. It is unique among many academies that require classes, but it still has a lot of competition...
He Qing also followed the slogan. He counted the subjects he had chosen. He majored in planting and pharmacology from the Department of Botany, and took electives such as anatomy from the Department of Biology, flower arrangement and painting from the Department of Arts, history from the Department of Literature, and mecha theory and spacecraft theory from the Department of Combat.
He Qing calculated on his fingers and decided to see how the situation would be during the exam.
"Okay." Qiao Yi smiled, "Now let's start the system allocation. This is a random allocation. Let's see how lucky the students are."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people could not help but pray to God.
"Help! I heard that one of the chiefs was unlucky and was assigned to feed pigs! Feed pigs!"
"Hahaha... cough, didn't the Chief get angry and rise up later? He became even more powerful."
"…Um, feeding pigs is like a sinecure, right? There are robots taking care of it."
"It was really funny though. When the senior heard about the assignment, he angrily ran around the academy three times."
When He Qing heard this, he thought this idle position was more suitable for him: "It feels good."
He Qing's voice was not loud, but everyone around heard it. They turned their heads to look at him, then showed strange expressions, and then turned their heads away and moved the tables away from him.
Qiao Yi also glanced at him and grinned: "That's right, I was assigned this way back then."
"Teacher seems to be having a good time." He Qing said naturally.
"It's okay. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll just do my own thing."
"..." The whole class lowered their heads silently and dared not speak anymore. Help! What kind of outrageous words did they just say?
Qiao Yi looked at the group of repentant students and said with a smile: "Students, don't be embarrassed, because you may also be assigned to feed pigs. I wish you all good luck."
"Thank you, instructor..." The students regretted their decision and dared not speak nonsense anymore. It seemed that the instructor was a bit sinister!
After Qiao Yi finished speaking meaningfully, he turned around, pulled up a light screen, pressed a button, and everyone looked at the big screen nervously.
He Qing prayed in his heart that he hoped he would be assigned to a leisurely place. The snowflakes on the screen stopped after a moment. He Qing looked carefully and nodded silently. Yes, he was assigned to feed the cute pets.
"?!! Why did He Qing go to the Central Panda Base!!!"
He Qing: Is this the point?
"Doesn't he want to feed the pigs?" someone blurted out.
Qiao Yi looked at the screen with interest: "Congratulations to He Qing. The panda base is also the dream of many people. There are not only pandas in it, but also peacocks, swans, crocodiles, etc., and there is a pig farm next door."
The classmates looked at him, some relieved and some jealous.
Qiao Yi glanced at the others and said, "Don't worry about where you are assigned now. The formal internship after the midterm exam is the most important. At that time, we will assign students based on their grades and potential. Everyone should work hard."
"In addition, the course schedule will be sent to your terminal. You can also choose to take online classes. Now go to the playground to listen to the speech. Our class area is in CA. Don't stand in the wrong place. In fact, you don't have to listen. It's almost the same every year. The dean also talks a lot of nonsense, balabala..."
Qiao Yi is actually a bit long-winded, probably because he has been a teacher for many years and it is inevitable that he talks a lot.
After the instructor finished speaking, the students stood up and went to the playground. Some of them complained about the place they were assigned to as they walked: "I heard that XX company treats people badly! And they are black-hearted!"
"I've also heard that their superiors would like to split me into two."
"Compared to you guys, I'm pretty good at the auction. I get to meet a lot of people."
"I went to the First Adventure Group!"
"I envy you so much."
He Qing listened and found out that the First Adventure Group, also known as the Star Adventure Group, was, as the name suggested, responsible for exploring new planets.
This adventure group is the first one established after humans left the Blue Planet. It has been in use to this day. Its significance is unmatched by other adventure groups. The most important thing is that the leaders are composed of top personnel in various fields, including geologists, botanists, biologists, energy scientists, etc., as well as armed combat, mecha and other combat personnel.
In this adventure group, you can come into contact with big names in various fields, which is naturally the best place for internship, and this year Duan Chenhui has also joined.
He Qing covered his chest with his hands. Fortunately, he was not assigned to the general's side, otherwise it would be difficult for him to do things.
Soon all the teachers and students in the school gathered in the playground.
He Qing stood in his seat, but was watched by the students from the next class. He didn't care and looked up at the podium. A moment later, someone strode up to the podium.
He Qing was stunned. He didn't expect it to be Duan Chenhui.
The people around immediately whispered, "It's the general?"
"It's rare..."
He Qing smiled, and then listened to Duan Chenhui reading the speech in a steady voice.
The corners of the dean's mouth twitched as he stood on the stage. His manuscript was modified on the spot by Duan Chenhui. The originally light-hearted manuscript became serious, and the funny jokes were inhumanely deleted.
The dean was in a dilemma and finally decided not to correct Duan Chenhui. After all, no one could find any fault with him.
After the speech, Duan Chenhui walked down and the dean immediately came up to liven up the atmosphere.
He Qing didn't listen to what the dean was saying. He touched the space ring on his hand. The time was almost up. He wanted to deliver the egg entrusted to him by "Peter" to the designated place.
The morning of the first day of school was spent listening to a speech, and a group of people were standing until their feet were cramped.
When school was over at noon, He Qing saw Duan Chenhui waiting for him at the door. There were many passers-by watching around. He Qing smiled, and now it was time to show their affection.
"General, are you waiting for me?" He Qing walked over and asked knowingly.
"What else?" Duan Chenhui turned around and opened the car door, "Get in the car."
He Qing got in the car amid the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd. Duan Chenhui got in and closed the door: "Number 10, drive."
"Yes." Ai started the car.
He Qing turned his head and looked behind him. The classmates finally left after watching the show, but there was silence in the car. He Qing sat up straight, hesitated for a moment and said, "What a pity, I was not assigned to the general's side."
Duan Chenhui glanced at him in the rearview mirror and saw that He Qing's eyes were clear and his brows were relaxed.
He smiled and said, "You should work harder next time."
"Yes, General." He Qing immediately replied with a smile, "I will definitely work hard."
Duan Chenhui nodded and touched the terminal with his fingers. He Qing's words were like sugar-coated bullets. He could coax people with sweet words, silence others with his words, pretend to be weak to attract pity, and say things that would spoil the fun on the wedding night.
But his room was so cold, restrained and even ascetic.
However, the First Adventure Group is indeed more dangerous. It doesn’t matter if He Qing doesn’t want to fight, he can afford it.
"I may go home less often this month."
"I'm fine."
"...Don't answer so quickly." Duan Chenhui's forehead twitched. Although they were only in a marriage agreement, He Qing's reaction was too obvious. After all, he was still his husband in name.
"Then I'll wait for the general to come back." He Qing clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and silently said, "Take care, general. This is what I really want to say."
"Yeah." Duan Chenhui nodded with satisfaction.
He Qing opened his eyes and looked at him. Enigma was really difficult to please. On the one hand, she had agreed on a marriage with him, but on the other hand, he seemed too unfamiliar. He was not the lotus he raised at home... No, it seemed that he was indeed raised at home now.
He Qing closed his eyes again, took out the wooden fish and knocked it.
"What are you doing?" Duan Chenhui turned to look at him.
"Knocking on the wooden fish can calm your mind and eliminate all worries." He Qing continued to knock, "General, come and listen too."
Duan Chenhui loosened his tie, leaned back in his chair, and collected his restless energy: "Then listen."
He turned his head to look at He Qing's extremely calm profile. Perhaps He Qing was more emotionally stable than he thought.
Even if I eat zero eggs, even if I am laughed at by the whole network, even if I am persecuted by my tribe, even if I am excluded in school.
But he still had to ask about eating zero eggs: "Have you really eaten zero eggs?"
“Guaranteed authenticity.”
"Why? Did you feel uncomfortable on the day of the exam?"
"No, it's because I hit my head."
"You are quite honest."
"Yes."
"I didn't praise you." At the end, Duan Chenhui laughed in anger. Wasn't he very clever when he criticized himself and his people? How come he got a zero in the exam?
"I'm not lying." He Qing opened his eyes and stared at him. The general was really difficult to please.
"I believe you didn't even guess the multiple-choice questions correctly." Duan Chenhui agreed with him meaningfully. He Qing was indeed very different from his ideal "vase". She was too good at disguising herself. He wondered what the core was after wiping off the outer decoration.
"Yes." He Qing smiled and turned back to knock the wooden fish, knocking it more evenly, "Because I was in a life-and-death situation at that time, and my three years of luck were used up ahead of time." He really didn't lie.
Duan Chenhui paused for a moment and said, "Then my luck will definitely get better this year."
"Thank you for the blessing, General." He Qing suddenly felt a little bit of merit power and looked up at Duan Chenhui. It turned out that Duan Chenhui's merit power could be transferred as long as he sincerely blessed that person.
"Well, keep knocking." Duan Chenhui gladly accepted He Qinghe's thanks.
He Qing was knocking on the wooden fish, thinking that he was being fed with merit by Duan Chenhui, and he was practicing the method of merit, which was indeed delicious. Would the general feed him from time to time? No... something seemed wrong.
He Qing thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong. He put away the wooden fish, and Duan Chenhui suddenly came over and took his hand.
"???!" He Qing's eyes widened. What did the general want to do? In this world, men should not touch each other.
"Don't look at me like that." Duan Chenhui took off the surveillance ring on his hand. "I have checked you. You are free."
"...Is this a trap set by law enforcement?" He Qing blurted out subconsciously while touching his "released" fingers.
“……”Duan Chenhui left him alone and got out of the car for the first time.
He Qing held the car door and walked down, looking at Duan Chenhui's back innocently. Alas, it turns out that generals can get angry. He raised his hand and looked at his fingers. After taking off the surveillance ring, only the wedding ring was the most eye-catching and dazzling.
He Qing was so dazzled that he closed his eyes. The diamond was so sparkling that it covered the entire ring surface. At first he thought Duan Chenhui would customize a plain ring for him, but he didn't expect it to be like this. It was very different from Duan Chenhui's usual style.
"Come on." Duan Chenhui, who was walking in front, turned around and called him.
"Yes..." He Qing put down his hand and trotted over, "General, what do you want for lunch?"
"Koi."
“…” Amitabha, it must not be because innocent people are affected.
