byChapter 60
When he walked to the living room, Zhan Chen stopped.
Shi Ji stood at the door.
The program in his body forced him to put the protection of Sheng Yi at the highest level. Logically speaking, he should immediately save Sheng Yi who was struggling in the robot pile.
But Shi Ji still didn't move.
He was holding on to the door frame with one hand, as if caught between two invisible competing forces, and a slight cold sweat appeared on his beautiful eyebrows.
Zhan Chen: "It's good for Sheng Yi."
Shi Ji was startled for a moment and looked into the corridor.
"With his current personality, he might be put into a sack and dragged away at some point, beaten unconscious, and placed on a wooden board to float away in the sea."
Zhan Chen said: "It seems that his current fighting level is still insufficient."
Shi Ji: "..."
Zhan Chen asked Shi Ji: "Have you ever been beaten like this by him?"
Shi Ji hesitated for a while, nodded lightly, and then said, "But Sheng Yi said that it was just training..."
Zhan Chen: "This is also training."
In response to his words, the roar of iron blocks clashing sounded in the corridor.
Sheng Yi was halfway through his furious scolding when he was squeezed into the cold palm of the robot, and in an instant he screamed in pain.
Sheng Yi tried his best to kick over a robot before running to the stairs. He was stopped by the automatically tracking cable arm and dragged back to the shadow at the end of the corridor.
"He is still young. At this age, he needs someone to accompany him and to vent his excess energy through a lot of training."
"He came to you this time probably because of this matter."
Zhan Chen: "He wants to train so much that he can't help it anymore."
Zhan Chen: "I need your help, so you can rest assured letting the robot do the work for you."
…
The system had just come out of the small dark room disguised as a sack, with a head full of popcorn and a lingering fear in his heart: "Host, Zhan Chen now fully fits the character of Frankenstein in the original work..."
The system floated in the sea of consciousness and looked at Yu Tang who was thoughtful: "...Host?"
Yu Tang: "But the reasons he gave did bypass Shi Ji's procedures."
Yu Tang gathered his thoughts, returned to the sea of consciousness completely, and pulled the computer: "I have an idea."
system:"……"
The system looked at the changing light and shadow at the end of the corridor, and the light screen went dark: "Host."
Yu Tang concentrated on typing on the keyboard and quickly made two temporary self-looping small programs: "The child does not teach the guardian's fault" and "The guardian does not beat the guardian's laziness".
He pulled the program into the sea of consciousness, tried it several times, confirmed that there were no bugs, and imported it into Shi Ji's brain.
…
Zhan Chen took off his glasses and closed the door tightly again.
The moment the dormitory door closed, the indifference of a technical geek that suited his character quietly faded away, and he turned back into the senior Zhan he was before.
"If you are sleepy, go back to your room and rest." Zhan Chen said, "I will make some midnight snacks and put them in the kitchen. If you are hungry at night, you can eat them yourself."
The young man standing in front of Zhan Chen came to his senses.
His eyes seemed to light up uncontrollably, and he cautiously lowered his eyelashes and thanked her warmly.
Zhan Chen's eyes stayed on him for a while longer.
Shi Ji was very sensitive to people's gaze. He took a few steps back, but couldn't help but stop: "Senior Zhan?"
Zhan Chen said: "If you have anything to do in the future, you can discuss it with me first."
Shi Ji was slightly startled. He didn't know where Zhan Chen's words came from, but he had to obey Zhan Chen's order, so he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.
Zhan Chen withdrew his gaze, said no more, and returned to his work area.
He laid a dark blue doily on the table, turned on the lamp, and took out some parts from the drawer.
They are all self-made miniature parts, scaled strictly according to the proportions, and they look particularly delicate.
Zhan Chen found a miniature searchlight that was a few centimeters in size, gently plucked it with the tip of tweezers, and connected it with a thin copper wire.
Under the shiny silver metal shell, the lights flickered on.
Yu Tang: "..."
The system was a little confused: "Host?"
Yu Tang was still standing in the living room. He was attracted by the exquisite gadgets played by Zhan Chen and could not help but move his legs.
In just a few days, he has become more aware of the dangers of the human world.
Yu Tang: "I'm going to play with his searchlight for a while. Will the character be OOC?"
system:"……"
Yu Tang: "Just five minutes."
The system finished flipping through the character settings: "...I don't know OOC, host."
After all, in Shi Ji's setting, if he sees something he likes, he can't help but go over and look at it, and he can even bring it back.
In the original work, it is not said that Shi Ji is not allowed to like miniature figurines and silver searchlights.
The system has been with Yu Tang for a long time and has learned to give reasonable explanations: "Zhan Chen's order to Shi Ji is, 'If you feel sleepy, go back to the room.' As long as we are not sleepy, we don't have to go back yet..."
Yu Tang was not sleepy at all. He carefully selected a favorite pillow in front of the sofa and walked to Zhan Chen's workbench.
Sensing the figure slowly approaching, Zhan Chen stopped working and raised his head.
The people walking over were still a little wary, standing neither too far nor too close to him.
He could retreat to a distance that would allow him to escape in time, holding a pillow in his arms, looking attentively, looking at those exquisite and adorable miniatures.
Zhan Chen raised his head and looked at him.
This time, before he could ask, Zhan Chen's gaze on him had already moved away.
Zhan Chen lowered his head again and continued his work.
In Zhan Chen's hands, those parts were debugged, corrected, and assembled in an orderly manner. Amidst the gentle sound of metal grinding, the shapes on the drawing were pieced together bit by bit.
Zhan Chen paused in the final stages: "Do you want tail lights?"
Yu Tang was startled: "What?"
Zhan Chen: "I made a pair of tail lights before. They are not on the drawing. You can install them."
Yu Tang did not answer immediately. He reviewed the classification of tail lights in "Mecha Manufacturing Illustration" in his mind: "Warning light, mimic weapon, or a multi-functional protective cover that can be hidden?"
"None of them." Zhan Chen said, "These functions are all installed in other parts."
Yu Tang asked: "Then what can it do?"
Zhan Chen: "It can flash red."
Yu Tang: "..."
"Host, this is a sub-question!"
The system felt that this was a trap from just now: "Although Shi Ji does not operate mechas, he has been responsible for the maintenance of Sheng Yi's mechas over the years! With his rich knowledge of mechas, facing such a simple problem, he must notWill be easily fooled..."
Yu Tang nodded involuntarily.
"……"system:"?"
Yu Tang looked at the exquisite mecha model and seemed to have heard the sound of experience points being deducted. He felt pain and joy: "The red light is so cool."
Before becoming a regular employee, Yu Tang also encountered unscrupulous bosses who deliberately induced employees to make mistakes.
Because the planning project could not perfectly meet the requirements of Party A, could not complete the entire department's work on its own, and could not successfully win the one billion bid, the company took the opportunity to find fault and deducted the employees' year-end bonuses.
These trivial problems were successfully solved by Yu Tang when he was an intern in the Almighty Secretarial Department.
…
The methods used by the supervision department to induce people to make mistakes are indeed not on the same level as those plots.
"I want that light."
Yu Tang was more open-minded than the system and enlightened it in the sea of consciousness: "It doesn't matter, you can still earn experience points if you run out."
The system has always believed in the host's ability to earn experience points. After thinking about it carefully, he also became happy: "The one with the little red light looks good!"
Yu Tang nodded. He hugged the pillow and couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
There was actually an empty swivel chair next to Zhan Chen, but it was placed too close. Yu Tang did not intend to sit on it. He stood behind the swivel chair and watched Zhan Chen polish the pair of taillights with sandpaper.
The lights were adjusted a little brighter by Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen found the pliers, carefully peeled off the insulation layer, connected the wires, and used flat-nose pliers to clamp the polished taillight and embed it tightly into the shiny silver shell of the mecha.
His movements were light and silent, and his hands were extremely stable, as if he was maintaining an extremely precise weapon.
Yu Tang looked at Zhan Chen's movements, and fragments without beginning or end suddenly appeared in his consciousness.
…
He is in a certain room.
Not far away, someone was leaning under the window, using the skylight outside to maintain a silver-gray military electromagnetic shotgun.
He was attracted by the shiny silver parts and wanted to get involved in the storm and take one away quietly.
He never gets close to humans easily, and he was very alert this time. Using the cover of the wind and the blindingly bright sunlight, he moved covertly to the edge of a spring.
The next moment, that hand happened to hold the spring.
"This doesn't work, I still need to use it."
The figure smiled, rummaged around in his pocket, and picked out a bright silver button: "Okay, give me back the spring, and give this to you..."
…
Yu Tang came to his senses in the mechanical sound of the system.
Zhan Chen was talking to him.
Yu Tang calmed down, packed up the triggered memory fragments, and returned to Shi Ji's identity: "Senior Zhan?"
"This is for you." Zhan Chen said.
The workbench has been cleaned, and on the dark blue velvet backing lies the newly assembled mecha model.
He watched Zhan Chen put together the model and unknowingly watched it all night. The window outside the window began to light up, with a pale white sky.
The silver-gray mecha miniature model has sharp and smooth arcs, almost like a blade.
"That's all I can do."
Zhan Chen: "For the specific control procedures, you need to find someone to do it yourself and debug it yourself."
Shi Ji nodded silently.
He has a simple nature and always looks gentle and happy. No matter what time, there is always a clear smile in his eyes.
But right in front of such a powerless, toy-like mecha model, the fighting talent flowing in Shi Ji's body was already faintly resonating.
This is the mecha most suitable for Shi Ji's wingman partner.
On a real battlefield, when paired seamlessly with a wingman, it can become an indestructible knife, opening up the enemy's defenses and destroying any of the most critical nodes.
Shi Ji looked at the mecha.
He doesn't remember who he is, but he still remembers that he can do it.
He can do it, as long as he can go back...
As soon as this idea came up, it triggered the suppression of the program that was too powerful to resist resistance.
His figure swayed and he closed his eyes unconsciously.
…
Yu Tang sighed softly in the sea of consciousness.
That program blocked Shi Ji's channels for seeking help, and also continued to obliterate Shi Ji's consciousness of returning to his past life.
As long as Shi Ji starts to try to explore his original self, the program will be forced to run, forcing Shi Ji to give up and avoid this idea, and return to the current life trajectory.
Yu Tang prepared the system and was about to fully take over Shi Ji's body, but suddenly found that the data belonging to Shi Ji began to shake.
It's not the subtle resonance that lasted from just now to now.
It was a sharp scream that could only be produced by the friction of almost the hardest metal.
The system was startled and was about to open the shield when Yu Tang raised his hand to stop it.
Shi Ji's breathing was a little rapid, and he had to reach out to hold the workbench, because he was resisting the procedure, and countless pictures came up in chaos.
train.
Repeated countless times, strict and harsh regulations.
Sheng Yi's father's cold face completely exceeded the limit of high-intensity training that the human body can bear.
Mistakes will be punished, mistakes will be admonished, and mistakes will be erased——
Some people picked him up with a smile, tickled him, made faces to make him laugh, some knocked him on the head, and reprimanded him for disobedience. Some people pulled him around the campfire and showed him the date on the tactical screen.
He turns twenty in three days.
The dazzling aurora engulfed all his consciousness, Shi Ji's face turned white, and before his body even had time to sway, he fell silently in cold sweat.
Zhan Chen caught Shi Ji's fallen body.
He helped Shi Ji up: "Can you walk?"
Shi Ji nodded.
His shoulders and back tensed silently, and those lines still hadn't had time to fade away from the boy's thinness. He was trembling slightly, but he was also stubborn, and he tried his best to stand upright with Zhan Chen's help.
Zhan Chen took half of his strength, supported Shi Ji, and slowly returned to his room.
Shi Ji fell quietly on the bed.
I don't know when, the program has stopped again.
Before his body began to collapse, the strong pressure suddenly disappeared as if it was forcibly intercepted by something.
Those messy images that suddenly flashed back only appeared for three seconds and disappeared without a trace.
No matter how much I searched, there was no clue.
"Some things have been forgotten." Zhan Chen said, "It's normal not to remember."
Zhan Chen: "Don't be in a hurry."
Shi Ji's eyelashes fluttered twice and opened silently.
His physical strength was completely exhausted while resisting the procedure, and Shi Ji's eyebrows were still wet with cold sweat, and he was trembling slightly as if he was exhausted, which was clearly highlighted by his snow-white complexion.
Zhan Chen wiped off Shi Ji's cold sweat and sat by the bed.
Zhan Chen looked at him quietly for a while, took out his glasses from his pocket, opened them and put them on.
"We have ten days."
Zhan Chen said: "I will build the mecha in three days, and I will leave the rest of the time to you for running in and practicing."
"Ten days later, there will be an all-terrain simulated challenge exercise, including the military academy and all the regiments in service, as the opening of the special training."
Zhan Chen: "According to the dean's requirements, we must get at least the top three."
Shi Ji was lying on the bed, his eyelashes flickering quietly, and he unconsciously looked at his left leg.
"I will help you solve it." Zhan Chen said, "For you, it is best to get first place."
Shi Ji spoke softly, his voice still gentle, with a hint of hoarseness: "If you get first place, can the dean help you find the person you are looking for?"
Shi Ji said: "Please rest assured, I will do my best whether it is an order or not -"
"It's not just for me." Zhan Chen said.
Shi Ji was slightly startled.
He looked at Zhan Chen who had already stood up.
"The top three in the exercise can directly enter the special operations team, and the first place will be personally contacted by the person in charge."
Zhan Chen said: "Not long ago, the special operations team replaced the person in charge from ten years ago."
"Maybe you don't remember this name anymore."
Zhan Chen: "His name is Zhuang Yu. Ten years ago, all his comrades and subordinates fell into a man-made electronic storm."
Right as I was wondering whether Zhan Chen was actually Zhan Shilin or not, autor drops this bombshell on us? Zhuang Yu is related here too?
I feel like that’s a double meaning, he’s both pertaining to Shi Ji’s situation but also really talking to Yutang about his forgotten memory
The memory scene of Tangtang want to steal Zhan Silin(?)’s metal spring is so so cute😭
