Military, drill, all eyes on the military.

...... Zhan Yanchao and Ji Zuoshan broke up.

Anyone with eyes could see this, but the reason for this was widely rumored, the most widely circulated version being that Ji Zuoshan had climbed to a new high position and had taken over Zhan Yanchao.

Not waiting for Ji Zuoshan's reaction, Zhan Yanchao first got angry.

He will rumor-mongering people out one by one, first of all, forced to ask the rumors of the owner, and then hands to repair. Anyone who talked about it, who talked about it in private, was lightly whipped, or severely beaten.

This caused a public backlash for some time, with Zhan Yanchao being seen as weak-minded and concerned about losing face, which led to his outburst.

But those who dared to talk about him in this way soon received a new round of beatings.

Zhan Yanchao has been on a rampage lately, like a fatal star, and everyone respects him, and the only one who dares to talk to him is his elder brother, Zhan Yanling, who has come back from the front line to carry out the students' summer training work.

In the past few days, my brother's eyes were bloodshot, he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and he ran to the training room to do simulated battle practice with his mecha. Zhan Yanling was quite helpless when he learned about the cause and effect of the incident.

Zhan's mother was indeed a good mother, and Zhan Yanling was an extremely gentle person, well-mannered, and handsome, but she had a younger brother who was as beautiful as a devil.

In a sense, the two brothers of the Zhan family were both people who would make one's legs weak just by looking at them.

He was eleven years older than Zhan Yanchao, and by the time Zhan Yanchao began to show the first signs of being an asshole Wang Ba, he had already become the best Alpha of his class.

Zhan Yanchao is the only one who knows how to restrain himself in front of his big brother.

After joining the army, he had fewer and fewer chances to go home, not to mention that Zhan Yanling, as a young officer, had a lot of work to do and was already exhausted from fighting against the Bug Planet, so he could not afford to take care of the Buddha at home.

Zhan Yanling, dressed in a straight dark blue uniform and wearing a red embroidered plume as a symbol of honor, carried his younger brother, who had woken up in the middle of the night and gone crazy, to the living room and poured him a cup of black tea: "Drink it, it will calm your mind."

Zhan Yanchao glanced at the cup and skimmed a bit, "I thought you'd pour me a drink. Doesn't everyone in your army carry wine in a lunchbox."

Zhan Yanling said gently but unquestioningly, "Don't pick and choose. You're already well off, and there are people on this planet who can't even afford a sip of clean water."

If anyone else dared to talk to Zhan Yanchao in such a tone, Zhan Yanchao would have rolled his foot over.

To his brother, Zhan Yanchao did not dare to be reckless, took the cup, sip sip.

Zhan Yanling said, "It's not good to hit people."

Zhan Yanchao raised an eyebrow, "They deserve a beating! They all deserve a fucking beating!"

"Just because they say bad things about you?"

Zhan Yanchao snorted, "I'm afraid they'll talk about me?"

Zhan Yanling didn't say anything, waiting for his explanation.

Zhan Yanchao tapped his knuckles on the long mahogany table in front of him, "They are trampling on Xiao Ji, aren't they just bullying Xiao Ji not to bother with them?"

Zhan Yanling pursed his lips.

Sure enough, like father and the butler said, it was for the person who had already dissolved the relationship with the Zhan family.

Zhan Yanling had never gotten along with Ji Zuoshan, but had only occasionally seen that silent but handsome boy when he came home to visit his family. He spoke little, and smiled before he spoke, but the curve of that smile was not large, and had a sense of coolness instead.

Zhan Yanling couldn't understand why his younger brother, whose strength had exceeded that of his peers since he was a child, would want to raise livestock, until he received a video sent to him via an inside source some time ago.

The cold-browed teenager was in a closed testing room for his mental strength.

By the time he released his mental power, the dial-shaped tester needle turned wildly from its starting point by more than twenty revolutions, turning from a tester to a fast-playing CD.

The teenager turned to the camera and cocked his head inquiring, "Is the test over? Or do we need a different instrument?"

This video was sent to everyone in the military at the division level and above.

It can be said that Zhan Yanling came back this time just for Ji Zuoshan.

He had thought that his brother had seen what he could do and intended to make the best use of this human sacrifice, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Zhan Yanling said, "Yanchao, you're not quite right now."

Zhan Yanchao Zhang Zhang Zhang lifted an eyebrow, but could not hide the tiredness and loss under the eyes, "What?"

Zhan Yanling asked him, "Do you think of him as a human sacrifice, or as something else?"

Zhan Yanchao was a bit annoyed: "Who said he was a human animal, he is Xiao Ji ah."

Zhan Yanling stared at him, realizing that his demeanor did not look like he was faking, and was suspicious, "You consider him a friend? But I heard that you don't seem to be treating him very well."

Zhan Yanchao looked at the black tea in his cup and said indignantly, "I'm good to him! It's him who has no conscience! I haven't done this to any other person."

Zhan Yanling says, "Do you treat all your friends like this?"

Zhan Yanchao straightened up, "I don't have any friends."

He was actually a little aggravated at the thought.

Since he was a child, he had only one friend, Ji Zuoshan.

When he lost his temper, he was covered by someone, and he went down step by step, but Ji Zuoshan was the only one who never got angry, so he couldn't help but probe where Ji Zuoshan's bottom line was.

Zhan Yanchao felt that Ji Zuoshan had spoiled himself and left, more and more feel that this person is abominable to the extreme, gritted his teeth and thought, found a reason, tomorrow will take this reason to question him.

Zhan Yanling watched his younger brother gritting his teeth one moment and smiling away slightly the next, thinking, this kid is a real headache.

But right now, he's more concerned with Ji Zuoshan.

At present, the idea of drawing him into the West Road Army by means of Ji Zuoshan's and the Zhan family's connections was feared to be untenable.

Mental strength is born strong people rarely encountered in a hundred years, Zhan Yanling himself is a special case, but he saw the video, but also can not help but since the heel of the silk cold.

Even with my current self, at best, I can only get the tester to walk up a circle of words.

The various military districts were unable to ignore this unlimited potential combatant, and were unwilling to wait even half a year longer, itching to enlist him immediately.

However, his existing Beta physique was not optimal for harnessing a mech.

It's not like they can change the global tournament system for him, so they've also had to squash their hard-won itch and offer to take a look at Ji Zuoshan's mono-combat abilities.

And the upcoming summer training is arguably the closest and most opportune time to do so.

Prior to the mecha competition, students at mecha schools have training in combat against bugs, and participants can fly specialized machines; if they don't have specialized machines, the military can provide training machines for free.

The system is elimination, and only mechs are allowed in the area, with no food, water, or supplies allowed. The mechs will be locked down to full map scanning and other functions, and participants will be required to collect a specific amount of loot and create a topographical map of the mountains and rivers in the no-man's land by sunset through the daily broadcasts, and return to the meeting point to submit the loot and the topographical map.

The race area is located at a site that was once invaded by the Bugs, and which has now been turned into a closed death zone with no one there for thousands of miles.

The scorched earth is also clearly visible on the military's satellite maps.

It's got its own new moniker, "The Scar."

"The terrain around the Scar is complex, with deserted city ruins, densely vegetated rainforests, and deserts stretching for hundreds of miles, with poisonous snakes and beasts, exiled sinners, and a few captured insectoids that have lost their research value.

Because of the mortality rate, participation in this tournament was voluntary; after all, whether the planet faced imminent annihilation or not, there would always be a group of young people who made it their highest pursuit in life to muddle through the mech tournament and retain their Beta status.

This competition is organized by the military and is equivalent to a military preliminary screening, where outstanding performers are placed on a roster and become key targets for observation.

And this selection was different from the past, all eyes were focused on the same person before the competition even started.

It can be said that Ji Zuoshan is the only one who is the center of attention in this match.

Zhan Yanling saw the conflict between his brother and Ji Zuoshan, but was not discouraged.

Joining the military is not a child's play, and Zhan Yanling's unit is one of the core units in the fight against the Bug Planet, undertaking frontal combat missions.

Ji Zuoshan will consider the Westroads if it's mature enough.

Zhan Yanchao, however, didn't know what his brother was thinking and didn't intend to think about it.

The next day, he woke up from a night of dreaming, ready to go to Ji Zuoshan to talk to him and condemn him for abandoning him, but who would have thought that as soon as he entered the classroom, he would have seen three or two people sitting around Ji Zuoshan, both male and female, all with tenderness in their eyes.

Zhan Yanchao's heart was on fire, and he sat down with a clanking sound.

These days, every time Zhan Yanchao came to him, he was able to toss up quite a commotion, so Ji Zuoshan paid no attention to him, just quietly mending his notes, letting the men and women beside him warmly and softly whisper to him, making great attentions to him.

Zhan Yanchao's mental power wasn't bad either, as he blocked out all the loud noises around him, leaving behind only the sound of Ji Zuoshan's writing, who was more than ten meters away from him.

His fountain pen is new, as is his notebook, but the hand that holds it is still his.

The tip of the pen rubbed against the paper with a strange rustling sound, and the words shivered as if they were written on his heart.

The whole world was left with the sound of him brushing and writing.

Zhan Yanchao thought to himself that the voice, in the past, was right beside him, and he didn't need to use his spiritual power to hear it clearly.

The bony rattling of his sore hands shaking his wrists, the slurping sound of sucking ink, and the soft sighs when he can't figure out a problem ......

He didn't dare to think about it any further; he had an instinctive fear, as if by thinking about it, he would really be lost.

At this moment, in Ji Zuoshan's body.

Ji Zuoshan : "...... ugh."

Chi Xiaochi, who was concentrating on a card game, didn't even look up, "Teacher Six, ask Xiao Ji what he doesn't know and give him a lecture."

061: "Uh-huh."

Ji Zuoshan whispered, "Why aren't they leaving yet." They had never been this warm to themselves before.

Chi Xiaochi slapped his thigh, meaning it, "Because you're a drill that's breaking through the sky right now. Of course everyone wants to come and get their hands on it."

061: "......"

Ji Zuoshan: "???"

Ji Zuoshan: "Mr. Six, what does this mean?"

061: "...... says you're awesome."

Ji Zuoshan pondered for a while, gradually came back to his senses, made a big red face, and shrunk still.

To his surprise, it was Zhan Yanchao who relieved him.

Zhan Yanchao couldn't stand it any longer and turned around and scolded, "Have you finished? You've got nothing better to do, don't you?"

These days Zhan Yanchao like eating dynamite, no one wants to touch his bad luck, everyone squeezed their eyes and scattered as birds and beasts.

Luo Qian glanced at Zhan Yanchao, then at Ji Zuoshan, and found him scribbling down his notes, his face unchanged and unperturbed.

Chi Xiaochi, of course, didn't change his face.

Zhan Yanchao wouldn't even lift an eyelid if he knelt down in front of him and asked to become an Omega.

What matters is Ji Zuoshan's attitude.

And after a brief silence, Ji Zuoshan sighed softly again, "Ugh."

Chi Xiaochi won another hand and asked him in passing, "What's up?"

Ji Zuoshan says, "...... really wants to be Beta."

That's certainly a complaint.

Beta is the gender least susceptible to pheromones. Ji Zuoshan doesn't want to be popular, not at all.

The reason for this is that the painful memories of his "past life" have made him afraid.

It's not scary to be livestock all the time, it's scary to have stuff like pheromones that turn indoctrinated people into livestock.

Chi Xiaochi poked and prodded at the screen and said, "When I was a star I thought, it's nice to be a normal person. But when I get paid 8 million dollars for a two-hour appearance, I don't think that way anymore. Worries everyone has, do Beta will want to do Alpha really awesome do not have to do the minutiae of the trivial work, do Alpha will want to do Omega as long as lying down on the level will have to eat, do Omega will want to do Beta have a stable life do not have to worry about being dragged away at any time to be a senior chickens and ducks. A lifetime spent worrying, then nothing would have to be done."

A slightly disheveled Ji Zuoshan winked, "...... Yes, yes."

Seeing Ji Zuoshan's mood improve a bit, Chi Xiaochi opened his mouth and asked 061, "Say, do pheromones and such things come in herbal, clam or durian flavors, the kind that make you impotent upon smelling them."

061: "......"

Chi Xiaochi asked again, "Do you mind?"

Xiao Ji thought about his clammy self and became hopeful, "No, don't mind."

Ji Zuoshan has a brand new goal to strive for today, to be a clam-flavored Alpha.
