Chapter 53

After reading the entire email, Yu Tang fell into a brief silence.

Yu Tang: "Is there a setting for witches in this world?"

system:"?"

"The kind that sells medicine." Yu Tang said, "The kind-hearted little beauty dolphin found the witch on the bottom of the sea, exchanged her voice for the magic potion, used two legs instead of the fish tail, and stepped on the tip of the knife to the shore."

System: "...No, host."

After all, this is still an interstellar world with science as its original basis and where species mutation does not exist for the time being.

"This is the result of logical deduction. Based on Shi Ji's setting, it is difficult not to like the dolphins in this half-year period."

The system turned on the projection: "The dolphin caught small fish to feed him, took him surfing, and also accompanied him to dive and collect shells and starfish."

"..." Yu Tang looked at the slideshow with BGM and felt a little complicated: "Are the plots generated temporarily by the bookstore so colorful every time?"

The system is very proud: "We are professionally trained, focus on every detail, give priority to truth in everything, and try our best to ensure and maintain the integrity and smoothness of the plot logic..."

Yu Tang read the recruitment brochure. He rubbed his ears that were numb from the shock, turned down the system volume, and turned off the recruitment advertisement for Chuan Bookstore that popped up on the light screen.

…

The dolphin Shi Ji likes is a kind and pure dolphin.

There is no Little Mermaid setting.

Mammalia, Cetaceans, Delphinidae, are good friends of human beings. They like to pick up people everywhere in the sea, and use small fish to raise the human friends they pick up on the islands.

The dolphin is so big that one wingman cannot fit inside it.

“How much does it cost to buy an aquarium?”

Yu Tang had just received W&P's salary and dividends. He had never understood this field before, so he searched the Internet for relevant information: "What's the difference between our money? I'm starting to make money now."

"...No need to buy an aquarium, host."

The system said: "You can raise them in the military academy, we just need to——"

Yu Tang: "How much does the military academy cost? Is it expensive?"

system:"……"

After working with its host, the system can already imagine how the protagonist's company in the book where Yu Tang was an intern was bought.

The system was a little nervous, so it flashed the small red light and carefully considered his answer: "Host, Shi Ji doesn't want to buy a military academy... Shi Ji wants to change his major."

The Military Academy is directly connected to the military. In addition to popular majors such as mecha pilots and observers, there are also many majors that are so unpopular that few people are willing to go, and they are not full of people every year.

For example, the logistics and chores major.

During combat, he is responsible for repairing mechas, providing medical assistance, and transporting and supplying weapons and ammunition.

At the military academy, he is responsible for the logistics and meals of the entire academy, and owns all the freezers and underwater bases used to store ingredients.

"There are various fish, shrimps and shellfish raised in the underwater base. The water here is very vast and can be directly connected to the ocean."

The system continued: "And there will be students majoring in logistics who will be responsible for feeding them every day and exercising with them to ensure that they are healthy, lively, and their meat is fresh and tender..."

Yu Tang: "?"

"..." The system quickly hid the introduction: "Dolphins do not need fresh meat."

Shi Ji invited the dependent little dolphin to come back with him in order to repay the small fish, small shells, and small starfish that the dolphin had caught for him in the past six months.

The underwater base relies on special bait developed by the Science Department to attract fish, with no other barriers.The dolphins have had enough here and can go back on their own at any time.

…

Yu Tang had already started planning to acquire the military academy. After hearing the system's arrangements, he closed the computer with some regret and looked at the data transmitted by the system on the light screen.

For Shi Ji, it doesn't matter which major he studies in.

His legs cannot be cured. Not to mention driving the wingman, he even needs crutches to walk for a long time.

Those who came to surround him at the beginning were Sheng Yi's friends.

Sheng Yi did not allow him to hurt his friends, so after repeatedly knocking down the group of people several times, Shi Ji was finally pinned to the ground by several people who rushed him because his physical strength was exhausted.

The cast-iron gun butt hit Shi Ji's left leg hard.

With the current medical level of the league, even comminuted fractures can be completely healed, so those people did not stop.

They held down Shi Ji, who was exhausted, and forcibly tore his cruciate ligament.

"A torn cruciate ligament is considered the most serious injury for military personnel and athletes."

The system said: "The rest period must be more than half a year. Even after recovery, it is difficult to restore the original knee joint function... This can already be judged as the end of their career."

System: "It is difficult for an observer who has lost one of his legs to achieve 100% synergy with his wingman."

Yu Tang asked: "Is this when Shi Ji decided to follow Father Sheng's instructions to merge with the wingman?"

The system flipped through it carefully: "Yes...it's the second day after he was discharged from the hospital."

"On the first day after being discharged from the hospital, Shi Ji returned to the training ground by himself and practiced alone for ten hours."

System: "In the first three hours, he improved the operation rating from 57 to 89, but in the next seven hours, it never improved again."

Yu Tang nodded.

…

Those people are all mecha operators.

What they were jealous of was not Shi Ji, but Sheng Yi.

There is a very clear competitive atmosphere in the military academy. The victory or defeat in the battle is directly linked to their grades. The level of their grades directly determines whether they will drive mechas and fight against the insect swarm after graduation and become heroes of the alliance, or they will be eliminated in disgrace.go home.

Most of the time, this kind of competition is benign and can stimulate students' fighting desire and competitiveness.

...But at some point, this competitive spirit will slowly deteriorate under the erosion of selfish desires.

Sheng Yi ranked first in the freshman assessment, and has been at the top of the standings since he entered school. He attracted everyone's attention, and he didn't know how much limelight he had.

There are always some people who are more willing to choose some shady and faster-resulting methods than improving their own strength.

Before this accident, Shi Ji had received many invitations to team up as mecha operators.

If it weren't for the fact that Shi Ji, the academy's number one observer, couldn't pry him off and was determined to follow Sheng Yi no matter how generous the offer was, those people might not have chosen such an extreme method.

They succeeded.

Shi Ji was injured and hospitalized. Within half a year, Sheng Yi changed four or five observers.

Sheng Yi's problem lies with himself. At this time, he is still too naive and too sharp. He has no sense of cooperation and will only rely on the power of the mecha to fight alone.

With Shi Ji's strength, he was able to protect Sheng Yi without leakage under such circumstances, and cooperated beautifully with the mecha.

But with other observers, this problem was seriously exposed.

"Sheng Yi actually still has some strength."

The system said: "In fact, at the beginning, even without the cooperation of a suitable observer, his ranking did not drop too much, and he was still guaranteed to be in the top 100 of the college standings."

System: "But he never made it into the top ten again, and he never beat Ye Hanfeng again."

Without the assistance of the academy's best observer, Sheng Yi was finally dragged down from the number one position.

He no longer received special care and was no longer eligible for priority selection and use of training venues. In several drills, he was even only assigned the task of covering and receiving.

Taking his place in first place was Ye Hanfeng and his operator partner.

Such a gap is unacceptable to Sheng Yi.

Sheng Yi had more and more conflicts with his classmates and instructors. He trained hard by himself, but for some reason, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't improve his grades.

His training status was getting worse and worse, his performance kept declining, and he finally fell out of the first echelon.

He can no longer enter the starting team in the exercise, and he can no longer receive special instruction. He can only take the boring basic courses every day like ordinary students, memorize boring operation instructions, and be pointed at when he walks in the academy.

More and more frustrations made Sheng Yi breathless.

For the first time in his life, Sheng Yi began to look forward to Shi Ji returning to the team as soon as possible.

Yu Tang already understood the general plot, exited the plot introduction, and turned off the light screen.

Yu Tang asked: "Do we need to fly over with wingman this time?"

"No need!" The system reported happily with the small red light flashing, "Because of the protection of the dolphins, Shi Ji's data has not been cleared, and it should be automatically managed now."

As for the remaining plots about the slave ship, the island and the kind dolphins, they have been revised and smoothly integrated into the entire story line.

The system guarantees: "When the host confirms access, the consciousness will automatically connect and introduce the most secure plot entry point!"

Yu Tang nodded.

He hadn't read the first book in half a year, so he searched for a feeling, pressed the confirmation button, and closed his eyes.

…

Yu Tang didn't have time to open his eyes again.

A violent, earth-shaking shock swept over him directly.

The alarm sound of the operating system, the sharp friction sound of high-intensity metal collision, mixed with the roar of the gun, made his head buzz.

A certain scalding temperature burned directly on his body.

He couldn't feel the pain, but the strong sense of weakness and numbness in his left leg were too obvious to ignore.

Yu Tang retreated into the sea of consciousness and asked the system: "What is the safest entry point into the plot?"

The system was also shocked: "Headquarters said this..."

Yu Tang asked: "Can I regret it now and fly over by myself as a wingman?"

"...It's too late, host." The system contacted the headquarters urgently and conveyed to him, "We have imported this book and the automatic hosting has ended. If-"

Yu Tang's figure swayed in the sea of consciousness, and together with the body outside, he turned a 360-degree windmill on the spot.

Yu Tang: "..."

system:"……"

"I know." Yu Tang said, "Buy me a box of motion sickness medicine."

System: "...Host."

Yu Tang concentrated his mind, quickly sorted through the known plot lines, and re-introduced his consciousness into Shi Ji's body.

…

He has found the current plot point.

It wasn't the night when Shi Ji was taken home from the hospital by Sheng Yi. It was the night the two of them had not seen each other for a long time and the last time they had a chance to talk to each other.

It wasn't the ten hours when Shi Ji trained alone and his score was fixed at 89 points.

He was led directly into the climax after this episode.

Shi Ji became Sheng Yi's observer, and together with Sheng Yi, he participated in the final assessment of the military academy.

In the assessment, Shi Ji cooperated with Sheng Yi to rise again and rushed back to the top ten.

Sheng Yi had been aggrieved for too long. He finally had a chance to take revenge. He severely punished these opponents who usually looked up and down, and vented all the bad energy he had accumulated in the past six months.

After entering the top ten, you can choose to calculate the points directly, or participate in the group competition to challenge the previous number one.

Shi Ji persuaded Sheng Yi to stop here. After calculating the points according to ranking, Sheng Yi would be eligible to participate in the next few exercises.

As long as he plays steadily and gets enough points in the exercises, even if he cannot regain his original glory, he can re-enter the first echelon of the academy.

Sheng Yi refused without thinking.

He came for Ye Hanfeng, who was already standing on the ring.

In the past six months, he had dreamed of defeating Ye Hanfeng and Ye Hanfeng's partners with his own hands, and taking back the first place that belonged to him.

Sheng Yi only had Ye Hanfeng in his eyes. He didn't believe what Shi Ji said about "there is a certain gap in strength", and he didn't even notice Shi Ji's too pale face and slightly trembling left leg.

Shi Ji didn't notice it himself.

Shi Ji only knew that his body was not strong enough to support such a continuous fierce battle.He could feel that he was unable to do his best, but there was no pain that was enough to warn him. He could not judge his true physical condition, and he had no idea how to explain it to Sheng Yi.

He didn't have time to explain to Sheng Yi.

When the plot was introduced, Shi Ji's wingman had been hit hard from the front by the opposite mecha and hit the protective cover of the ring.

The too violent impact wave directly destroyed the program responsible for hosting Shi Ji's body.

"Host!"

The system was so frightened that the screen was filled with snowflakes. It searched for Yu Tang's figure in the shaken sea of consciousness, for fear that the host and the hosting program would be shattered together: "Host! Host——"

"Stay alive." Yu Tang said in his mind, "Motion sickness medicine."

The system finally found Yu Tang's consciousness and quickly flew over with the motion sickness medicine and water it had just bought.

Yu Tang didn't ask for water and swallowed two motion sickness pills: "Where is the skill card Xiaohongka left for me?"

The system pulled out the skill card left by Luo Ran: "Do you want to use it now?"

"Use it now." Yu Tang said, "In this situation, I'm afraid I will send my wingman into the audience."

…

Yu Tang himself is not good at these hands-on skills at all.

When I was in charge of this book before, whenever I needed to fight, I used Shi Ji's own basic settings.

But now, the hosting program has collapsed under a strong external blow, and this part of Shi Ji's data has turned into a gray color that cannot be called temporarily.

"I just checked Shi Ji's body."

Amidst the sound of artillery fire and violent vibrations, Yu Tang's voice continued intermittently: "There are some new discoveries. We will study it after we get off the roller coaster later -"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a very low groan.

The system was frightened: "Host?!"

Yu Tang no longer made a sound in the sea of consciousness.

…

In reality, Shi Ji's wingman was finally completely penetrated by the power system, and crashed on the edge of the ring with black smoke.

The referee's box next to the ring sounded a whistle to stop the fight.

The standings change instantly.

The arena competition is a betting mode. All the points accumulated by the losing party during the entire final assessment will be taken away without leaving a single point, and all points will belong to the winner.

While Ye Hanfeng and his partner's points increased, Sheng Yi's name instantly fell out of the standings.

Sheng Yi controlled the mecha to land.

His face was so ugly that he jumped off the mecha without buffering and took off his helmet: "Why?! I haven't lost yet!"

"If either the main armor or wingman crashes, the challenge will be deemed failed."

The student in charge of the referee was at the same level as them and had never seen such a brutal battle. His face turned slightly pale: "Classmate Sheng, your observation hand may be injured..."

Sheng Yi's expression completely darkened.

He walked up to the wingman and forcefully opened the wingman's half-broken cabin door.

The wingman's cockpit was filled with smoke, and it was a mess inside.

If it weren't for the fact that the wingman left behind by Mr. Sheng was made of top-notch polymer carbon composite materials, it might have been destroyed by the violent attack it just suffered.

Shi Ji remained motionless, leaning on the driving panel.

Sheng Yi almost went crazy.

On the day he took Shi Ji home, he had already told Shi Ji about the importance of this battle. Why was Shi Ji still not interested in it?

Why did Shi Ji drag him down at such a critical time?!

Sheng Yi took a few steps over, grabbed Shi Ji's collar, and pulled him up: "Who told you to lose?"

Shi Ji's closed eyelashes trembled and slowly opened.

He looked dazed for a moment before his consciousness finally came back and he looked at Sheng Yi in front of him.

Sheng Yi asked sharply: "Who told you to lose!"

Shi Ji opened his mouth, but he was speechless for the time being. The long-lost pain climbed up from his left knee and swept through half of his body, making his eyes filled with black mist.

Sheng Yi was fed up with Shi Ji's confused and confused look.

The points he had worked so hard to gain in one game after another were all spent on an arena match that he should have won, all because of Shi Ji—how could Shi Ji dare to show such an expression?

Why doesn't Shi Ji feel guilty?

He has endured it long enough. He has obviously learned how to cooperate with the observer and how to cooperate with the wingman... He has made up for these lessons.

Those people said that the crux of his problem was that he had no sense of partnership. He followed the progress of ordinary classes and learned everything.

Before this final assessment, he even tried his best to get along with Shi Ji for a week, and he never felt sorry for Shi Ji again.

Why still can't win?!

Sheng Yi's eyes were red, he was gritting his teeth, and he had completely lost his mind due to the anger of frustration.

——If this final assessment was still the same as the previous six months, with repeated failures and setbacks, he wouldn't be so angry.

The most unbearable thing for people is to have vague hopes first, even when they are close to the end of success, and then be severely smashed to the ground by reality.

What Shi Ji messed up was not just his attempt to defeat Ye Hanfeng and regain the top spot in the standings.

After this final assessment, there will be a half-month special mecha training, where you will have the opportunity to have close contact with the military's top elite special forces.This kind of opportunity is almost fatally attractive to the students of these military academies.

Only the first place in the standings can get a special training spot in the military.

Sheng Yi missed this opportunity without any suspense.

Ignoring the obstruction of the people around him, Sheng Yi threw Shi Ji back to his seat and clamped his shoulders tightly: "Do you know how important this arena match is...how dare you lose?!"
