Chapter 49 New Experience
After returning to school, Lin Guantang thought he might toss and turn all night long, but in fact he slept soundly until dawn.
When he woke up the next day, he still felt a little dizzy. He recited a long passage from the course he learned last week. He thought he was conscious and it should not affect the class, but he felt weak all over and really didn't want to go for morning exercise.
So he took out the terminal and asked Huo Shizhen privately if he could suspend training for a few days.
Apart from the topic of morning jogging that Huo Shizhen mentioned at the beginning, he never asked him whether he insisted on jogging every morning. Even the daily training was entirely planned by the teachers based on Lin Guantang's situation. As the boss, Huo Shizhen had a laissez-faire attitude and only accepted the relevant video materials sent back synchronously. He never interfered with the specific plans. If Lin Guantang had to miss a day's plan due to something, he could just ask for leave directly from the teacher. There was no need to go to Huo Shizhen to explain the situation.
But I just really want to ask.
Lin Guantang originally planned to put the brooch in a box, but after looking at it for a while, he found a rope to string it together and hung it by the bed. Only then did he feel his irritable heart calm down a little.
Then he sat cross-legged on the bed, looked up at the brooch, and then carefully examined himself, classifying his current sense of dependence as estrus syndrome.
It is very common to feel dependent on an alpha during the estrus period. Once this special period is over, things will return to normal. After consulting information through different channels and repeatedly confirming that this is a normal phenomenon, Lin Guantang let his emotions run wild and act according to his heart, sending messages to harass Huo Shizhen.
After all, there is a saying that it is not good to suppress emotions during special times.
Moreover, Senior Huo was quite tolerant and didn't seem to mind his troubles. No matter what nonsense he sent to him in private messages, he didn't say anything annoying and would occasionally respond with a sentence or two.
Although a night had passed, Huo Shizhen seemed to have reloaded his venomous tongue system.
[Haitang]: Senior, is it okay if I don’t go for a morning run these two days? It shouldn’t affect anything and there won’t be any punishment.
[Senior Huo]: Why, do you really want to be punished as an extra-curricular member of the Discipline Department?
Lin Guantang: ...
That’s not necessary.
Lin Guantang learned from the group chat that Huo Shizhen returned to school at two or three in the morning last night. The main battlefield cafeteria had been cleaned thoroughly without any flaws, and other affected areas had also been cleaned up, but some people were still punished.
The reasons for the punishment were private fighting, wasting food, and disturbing others in the middle of the night.
——The cadets were only thinking about how to restore the battle situation to a clean and tidy state, but they forgot that the injuries they suffered in this melee could also be considered as a kind of evidence of destruction. But who can fight without getting hurt?
In fact, everyone was prepared to be punished by Huo Shizhen when he came back, and they were also prepared to protest in advance if Huo Shizhen really intended to punish them. After all, most people had a happy sense of participation in last night's melee, so they felt more proud of it rather than feeling the need for punishment. They even held a vote on whether they should be punished or not. The result was that 80% of them thought that they could let go of this happy team building event that everyone participated in.
He also felt that the law does not punish everyone, and even if it was Huo Shizhen, it would be impossible for him to go against the wishes of the majority of his classmates. Moreover, everyone cleaned up the battle, so he should be more tolerant of everyone.
Unless he intends to make enemies with the entire school.
But no one expected his intervention to be so cunning and bizarre—he "accidentally" ran into an injured student at school, then, as the head of discipline, offered a cordial greeting, retrieved the injured student's information from the medical system, and then checked the surveillance footage. From the chaotic scene, he pinpointed the person who had been fighting and bleeding, the one who had attacked with food, and the one who had been shouting loudly with a loudspeaker in the middle of the night...
These were all truly irreversible measures, and there was no way to refute them. After all, Huo Shizhen really did not make any criticisms of this melee involving the entire nation. He even praised the mobilization ability of the two people who started the melee, and then gave each of them an A+ task, asking them to find someone to cooperate with him to complete the task.
After all, with such appeal, even a small task would certainly be no problem.
The cadets could only sigh that the big devil was indeed the big devil, and it was impossible to predict his behavior and change his mind.
Lin Guantang could only sympathize with the unfortunate military cadets from afar, and then replaced his usual morning jog time with sleep, and fell asleep again with peace of mind.
The result of this was that the students from O College who were determined to meet him in the morning were disappointed.
***
Many people in O College have the impression that Lin Guantang is the typical poor and outstanding student who is "legendarily good-looking, studious, and obsessed with part-time jobs."
The reason why he is "legendary" is that except for the outdoor class of archery, it is really difficult to see him in school at other times. You can't go to the classroom to find him, but the teacher in the elite class is really scary, and the course is really high-pressure and urgent.
In less than a month, more than a dozen students have voluntarily chosen to withdraw from the elite class. At the same time, other students want to apply to join, but given that there are too many students who have withdrawn, more consideration is needed as to whether to agree to other students joining halfway.
In his spare time, Lin Guantang either went to the library to read materials or worked part-time outside the school. The library prohibited making loud noises, and the store where he worked part-time was expensive, which had already discouraged some people.
Besides, even if he went to the store, eight out of ten times Lin Guantang was out delivering food and not serving in the store - letting such a beautiful and fragile omega deliver food in the wind and sun, the store owner is really cold and heartless!
But classmate Lin seemed to enjoy it and was willing to work hard, which made his classmates cast a strange filter of pity and cuteness on him. Even on the forum, Lin Guantang had become the representative of the beautiful, strong and miserable O Academy.
That was something that Lin Guantang didn't know - because he really couldn't remember it, and he didn't have time to read the forum. He only listened to Yuan Wenjun, who was keen on various forum gossip and entertainment news, briefly describe some important forum events during class breaks for a few minutes every day.
For example, this time after Lin Guantang entered the classroom, before he could say good morning to his two good friends Yuan Wenjun and Pu Xinglan, Yuan Wenjun showed him the forum interface opened in the terminal and excitedly said that he had become popular in the forum again because of his performance at the tea party.
How should I put it? Most of the students who choose to enter O College tend to be gentle and harmless. They are not used to arguing with others, let alone publicly refuting and mocking others. So when a busybody posted the video of the secret admission on the forum, it caused widespread criticism. People felt that his words and deeds were excessive and really bad.
But after a night, more envy and admiration prevailed, and the video had even reached over a hundred thousand views—the school only had a few tens of thousands of faculty and staff, and the number of people on the forum was even smaller, so within the O Academy, this level of popularity could be described as "explosive"—
Regardless of whether people say they are interested or not, their bodies honestly prove that they are really interested in this.
So, inevitably, many people wanted to get to know Lin Guantang, but excluding the scary classes, the library where talking was forbidden, and the part-time job shop where no one was seen...it seemed that the only time they could meet by chance was during the morning run.
But after finally getting up extra early, he squatted on Lin Guantang's morning jogging route for several days, but he didn't run again.
How could it not be depressing? I even wanted to go to the dormitory and wait for someone - the reason I didn't put it into action was that O Hospital strictly prohibited staying in front of other people's dormitories for too long without the owner's permission.
Even if you are a student of the same O College, if you pause in front of an unfamiliar dormitory for more than ten minutes, it will be recorded by the surveillance camera and a warning will be issued through the school system.
Not to mention the automatic alarm system in the house.
For example, one of the omegas named You Guangyu was an O who was also selected into the elite class. He was born into a noble family and received the most traditional O-moral education since childhood, but he was a little bit off - after all, the essence of O-moral education was to become a perfect omega who could fully serve the head of a wealthy family, but his goal was to become a perfect omega.
He not only wanted to be an omega in the traditional sense, but also applied for a place without hesitation after the O Academy announced the establishment of an elite class, sending out a signal that it would cultivate a new type of omega, determined that even if he was a new type of omega, he would be the most perfect one.
Then all his attention was snatched away by a country omega who was elusive and hardworking, more perfect, and more dazzling than him.
Especially after the video of the tea party was uploaded to the forum, he alone contributed nearly a hundred views. After much deliberation, he decided to adopt the method of "learning from the barbarians in order to defeat them" as stated in ancient books. By getting close to Lin Guantang, he carefully observed his words and deeds, and then learned from and surpassed him.
But when he joined the so-called Haitang fan club, searched for a lot of flattery and sent it out, passed the review, and finally got Lin Guantang's daily activity schedule, he felt sincerely frustrated.
Because there is absolutely no chance to get close to Lin Guantang! Lin Guantang is simply a master of time management, and he can't find any free time. No matter how you look at it, there is only a small chance of encountering him during his morning run.
Then I woke up early and encountered loneliness.
But it doesn’t matter, he still has the advantage of being in the same elite class as Lin Guantang.
So after failing to wait in ambush during his morning jog, he decided to temporarily put aside his dignity as a nobleman and, in front of everyone, condescend to take the initiative to tell Lin Guantang that he wanted to get to know him.
He thought he had humbled himself enough, but in Lin Guantang's opinion, when he was talking to Yuan Wenjun, a shadow suddenly came over his head. He looked up and saw a noble and cold aristocratic omega standing in front of the seat, looking down at him with an indifferent face, and then asked him indifferently why he didn't get up early for a morning jog.
Lin Guantang recognized him as his classmate, and Yuan Wenjun whispered to him that this omega was from a noble family and was almost rated S-level. He usually looked down on people and spoke to people with a standard fake smile - he was simply the human embodiment of the theoretical standard omega.
But Lin Guantang had absolutely no connection with him, and when he heard his question, he felt even more confused - what did his morning jog have to do with the person in front of him?
He insisted on jogging in the morning in order to improve his physical fitness, and O College had never asked students to jog in the morning - it couldn't be a rule set up on the spur of the moment, asking O College, or the students in their elite class to jog in the morning like the military academy students.
That's not right. If that were the case, the counselor should have notified him, or Huo Shizhen should have reminded him. After all, it seemed that Huo Shizhen was responsible for the cooperation between military academy students and O Academy.
Or perhaps, the system should have reminded him in advance.
——That was what surprised Lin Guantang even more. He originally thought that [Hexi] was just a military academy task system, but he didn't expect it to be completely like a terminal steward. After granting various authorizations, it could take over the terminal in an all-round way, and even all kinds of junk advertising information were completely blocked.
However, when Lin Guantang was overly surprised and exclaimed in the group about the powerful function of Hexi, he learned from other people's descriptions that Hexi was a super AI that was in charge of the entire military academy's intelligent system. Even many large-scale tasks required Hexi to check for omissions and fill in the gaps to ensure that everything was foolproof.
The only drawback is that Hexi has turned off the function of automatically generating plans for military academy students, but at the same time, it has enhanced the functions of checking for duplicates and tracing the source, making up for this shortcoming - although no one in the military academy is happy about this.
In short, it is really a piece of cake for such a super-intelligent AI to take over Lin Guantang's small, ordinary, or even outdated terminal. Compared with the calm attitude of others, Lin Guantang seems like a little country cat who has never seen the world.
But he originally came from the most backward District 35, so that was okay.
At this moment, Lin Guantang urgently recalled it and confirmed that no one or the system had sent any information about the mandatory morning exercise in O Hospital. Lin Guantang also restrained his smile and replied:
"This is my personal choice. It seems to have nothing to do with you. I don't need to report it to you."
After he finished speaking, the expression on the face of the person standing before him seemed to grow even worse, causing Lin Guantang to become even more cautious. Even Yuan Wenjun and Pu Xinglan, who were standing nearby, sensed the unwelcome presence and whispered in his ear, "This guy has bad intentions and looks like he's here to cause trouble..."
Lin Guantang was sitting in the front center of the classroom, which easily attracted the attention of other students around him, and even the entire classroom. They looked at them with worry or excitement, wondering whether the first conflict of the elite class was about to happen before their eyes.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, You Guangyu finally spoke:
"How did I run into you when you suddenly stopped jogging?"
Lin Guantang: ...?
Encounter by chance?
Lin Guantang tilted his head, because this sentence was beyond his imagination, so he completely forgot all his vigilance, and his big eyes were full of confusion:
"Why did you run into me?"
You Guangyu met his blue eyes and felt a little cute, especially since he was looking down from above, which made Lin's eyes look big, lively and quite cute - wait, this is the person he wants to surpass!
He quickly coughed again to redirect his attention and thoughts. His sight flickered a little, and his voice slowed down a little, and he said awkwardly:
"If I don't meet you by chance, how can I get to know you and make friends with you?"
Lin Guantang: ...
It turns out that he wanted to make friends with him. I thought he was here to challenge him to a fight.
"Just make friends if you want to. Why do you act like you're looking for trouble? You scared me and I thought you were going to do something bad to Haitang."
Yuan Wenjun, who was standing aside, let out an exaggerated breath, showing a very speechless expression, and spoke out the real thoughts on behalf of everyone who was paying attention.
This made You Guangyu stunned for a moment. He didn't know why she would say such a thing. He had obviously been very humble and even felt that he had made a difficult decision that violated the omega's reserved behavior and should not take the initiative to chat with strangers.
But soon all his attention was attracted by Lin Guantang's outstretched hand.
"Then let's get to know each other. It's nice to meet you."
Lin Guantang took the initiative to extend his hand to greet him. This made You Guangyu, who was originally planning to speak, hesitate for a moment, but finally reached out and held those slender white fingers.
Holding it in the hand is actually not as soft and weak as imagined - except for the soft fingertips and palms, the fingers themselves can feel the hard joints under the skin and flesh, just like Lin Guantang, who looks gentle and harmless, but can say words as sharp as a sword.
——At the same time, Lin Guantang felt that the man in front of him was worthy of his aristocratic birth. His fingers were soft and smooth like milk. Needless to say, he knew that they must have been carefully maintained.
Lin Guantang was a little flattered that such a high-ranking noble actually took the initiative to make friends with him.
But then this feeling was completely diluted, because everyone else suddenly followed suit and gathered around him, reaching out their hands to get to know him, and even started to get to know each other in a lively manner. When the class time actually arrived, Lin Guantang breathed a sigh of relief. He smelled his fingers, and they were already filled with countless different scents.
The different aromas mixed together don't actually smell good, but at this moment, Lin Guantang still smells it from time to time and feels genuine joy.
After class, it was rare that everyone did not get up and leave as they did in the past. Instead, they talked to each other, asked each other about their free time next time, invited each other to meet at a suitable time, and then everyone felt sorry that Lin Guantang's spare time was fully occupied.
Although everyone felt that the store owner was exploiting his time too much, Lin Guantang said that the owner could give him a basic salary of 5,000 star coins a month and provide three meals a day. All the surrounding stores could not offer this salary, so no one could say anything to make him quit his job.
Because the treatment is so good, even people who are equally poor are tempted to work part-time in the store like him.
But the store politely declined.
Because the store business is really bad.
This is not a perfunctory remark, but a difference that is obvious to all. Even in O Hospital itself, there will occasionally be a post speculating when this store will go bankrupt, and who the store owner is, a prodigal with no business acumen and an extremely stubborn mind, and when he will realize the reality that he has no business acumen and close the store. They all agree that the so-called takeaway must be the boss's relatives and friends who can't stand his bleak business operations and pay for it out of friendship.
Of course it will not go bankrupt, after all, it was originally used as a cover store.
Three days later, Lin Guantang was full of energy again. He no longer insisted on talking nonsense to Huo Shizhen, but took the initiative to find Tang Hongyun to fulfill the special training mentioned last week.
Tang Hongyun was a little dissatisfied with the fact that he had delayed his training for three days, but seeing that he still insisted on doing some basic training during the three days of estrus, he felt relieved and a little regretful - he felt that Lin Guantang was willing to work hard and endure hardships. Although his talent in fighting was not top-notch, his clear mind and flexible hands and feet could make up for some of the shortcomings. If the gland could be removed and he no longer had to worry about being troubled by the estrus period, he might achieve better results.
The following sentence was said during his conversation with Lin Guantang. When they talked about the estrus period, Lin Guantang also complained about the troubles of the estrus period. Tang Hongyun said it very casually:
"If you find it troublesome, just cut it off."
This sentence left Lin Guantang speechless, and he even felt a dull pain in his glands.
Although Lin Guantang also felt that the estrus period was a bit troublesome, he felt weak all over and wanted to talk to someone, especially wanted to talk to Huo Shizhen about some meaningless nonsense. He himself felt a little annoyed, but he couldn't control himself and wanted to seek some comfort.
But it's not to the point where he wants to cut it off, at least not yet.
So after a brief silence, Lin Guantang chuckled and passed over the topic as if nothing had happened.
Fortunately, Tang Hongyun saw that he had no such intention, so he stopped discussing this topic.
It would be better to say that it was just a casual remark. After all, from Tang Hongyun's point of view, before Lin Guantang became a good student, he was also someone that Huo Shizhen liked. How could he possibly agree to let Lin Guantang have his gland removed?
He was able to become Lin Guantang's teacher because he was asked by Huo Shizhen to teach him. If Huo Shizhen knew that he, as a teacher, actually encouraged the omega he liked to have his glands removed, he would probably just collect his salary and leave after teaching the day's class, and say goodbye to Lin Guantang forever.
After all, whether it is AO, removing the gland is not only a long and painful process that requires one to endure inner torment, but it is also a decision that is not understood and accepted by the public in the entire empire.
***
After confirming that Lin Guantang was completely out of estrus, Tang Hongyun took him through the basement of the store, out from the other side, and then to the Hezhang district on the edge of the imperial capital at dusk.
Naturally, before setting off, the two men made some special decorations. Specifically, they changed into black clothes that were not easily discovered, put on the military academy's special pheromone blocking masks they had asked for from Huo Shizhen, and even got two sturdy and handy sticks to carry with them.
To be honest, with this set of equipment, it really looks like you are going to launch a sneak attack and hit the enemy from behind.
Lin Guantang couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"Teacher, are we going to squat on your enemies?"
——He is still a good citizen. If the person he wants to deal with has not committed any unforgivable mistakes, but only has some complicated personal grudges with the teacher, it will be really difficult for him to deal with him.
Tang Hongyun sneered and said disdainfully:
"They're just a bunch of street thugs. They're not even qualified to be my enemies."
Then, when they arrived at their destination, they told Lin Guantang that they were planning to take him for practical training.
"No matter how well you do in training, if you can't perform in real combat, all your efforts will be in vain."
