On how to avoid being cannon fodder

Chapter 5 The Norman Empire

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

"The alien beast riot in the East 46th District, the C-level scale, there are five-level alien beasts infested." Ji Wenyuan glanced at the full schedule of the executive department, but dialed the communication number of the executive department.

The opposite side quickly passed the communication request, and a familiar figure appeared on the light screen in front of Ji Wenyuan: "Vice Minister Ji, what's the matter?"

Ji Wenyuan asked directly: "Who else among your people can spare?"

The opposite party paused, as if looking up information.After a while, he quickly replied: "At present, all the official team members have gone to perform the task, and there are still 120 fifth-level alternate team members who are still on vacation and can be recalled urgently."

Ji Wenyuan heaved a sigh of relief.The minimum level of candidate members of the executive department is five levels, and they are all carefully selected elites. They are enough to deal with this c5-level alien beast riot.He just thought that if the manpower is really not enough, he will have to send low-level supernatural beings to machine armor.

However, although the mecha can allow supernatural beings to leapfrog battles, it places a high burden on the operator and requires a lot of skills. A slight mistake will destroy the machine and kill people.The most troublesome thing is that because the energy radiation of the mecha is strong, even if it is isolated, it is easy to cause irreversible damage to ordinary people around it. Generally, it will not be used, and it is difficult to approve the application for a transfer order.

"The C46-level alien beast riot in East 5 District, please quickly send a team of 10 people to deal with it." Ji Wenyuan said, and then hung up the communication.

Recently, it has come to a period of high incidence of strange animal disturbance every year, and the workload of the executive department is particularly heavy, and the schedule is always difficult to arrange.

"The executive department should hire more people..." Ji Wenyuan paused after speaking halfway.In fact, he also knows that there are only so many supernatural beings above the fifth level of the empire, those who can be accepted have long been accepted, and those with poor combat ability are useless.

He glanced at the date, and remembered that tomorrow is the 280th anniversary of the establishment of the three colleges. In the morning, Minister Sarina had given him the task of giving a speech by a high-level supernatural user.

"I still need to prepare a speech..."

However, before he could rest for a while, another piece of information was sent through the optical brain.Ji Wenyuan clicked on it and saw that this time, the fleet going to Kuntai Star to collect ore was about to arrive at Emperor Star, and he applied for a landing site and a transport team to pick up the plane.

So Ji Wenyuan temporarily put aside the matter of preparing the speech.

Ji Wenyuan actually didn't like the work of the intelligence department very much, but he felt that since he could do well, he shouldn't say anything more.When he got home, he pulled out the school celebration speeches downloaded from the database before leaving get off work from his personal optical brain, and sat on the sofa to read while drinking coffee.

At this moment, Luo Qiubai came to visit his house as usual.

In the past six months, the relationship between the two of them has become closer and closer. Luo Qiubai would go to Ji Wenyuan's house for afternoon tea almost every day, and sometimes he would buy some high-grade exotic animal meat to cook a dinner for Ji Wenyuan, but only Ji Wenyuan Yuan alone understands that all these are just appearances.He was still suspicious of Luo Qiubai, and he was able to remain calm, but there was no evidence for anything.

Luo Qiubai opened the snack box he brought, and put it on the tea table in front of Ji Wenyuan with a smile: "These are some small biscuits I baked by myself, which are most suitable for coffee. Wenyuan, would you like to try it?" ?”

Ji Wen responded, twisted a small biscuit that was baked golden and crisp, and put it in his mouth.

"Very good." He commented objectively.

Luo Qiubai smiled happily, his beautiful phoenix eyes bent into crescent moons.He curiously leaned over to see what Ji Wenyuan was looking at now - Ji Wenyuan never brought out confidential documents that could not be seen by outsiders, so he was used to doing so.

"Speech? By the way, Wen Yuan, I'm graduating tomorrow. Are you free to attend my graduation ceremony?" Luo Qiubai asked expectantly.

Ji Wenyuan moved his gaze from the light screen to Luo Qiubai: "Of course, I'm your spokesperson for tomorrow."

Luo Qiubai was a little surprised, and then said with bright eyes: "Then are you preparing for tomorrow's speech? Do you want me to help you?"

Ji Wenyuan was a little surprised: "You will?"

"Of course!" Luo Qiubai proudly puffed up his chest, "The school celebration speech is nothing more than a few points - the history of the school, the achievements of outstanding graduates, looking forward to the future, giving some advice as a senior, and a more gorgeous beginning and ending .This is all a routine!"

Looking at the kid's smiling face shining under the light, Ji Wenyuan's heart beat a little faster.However, he has long been accustomed to this kind of reaction of brushing his presence from time to time, and gave a gentle to almost pampering look that he learned from film and television works: "Then, let you write for me?"

Luo Qiubai's face turned red from his gaze, and without thinking about it, he patted his chest and assured him: "No problem!" He turned on his optical brain and wrote while saying: "I plan to travel after graduation, so I can see the customs of various places. Favor."

Ji Wenyuan frowned, and dissuaded him: "Nowadays, strange beast riots are happening frequently outside. If you want to see the customs and customs, you can go to Xingwang."

Luo Qiubai curled his lips indifferently.There is indeed everything on the star network, and it is very real when viewed in holographic mode.It's just that it consumes too much mental power. Ordinary people without supernatural powers don't even dare to use this mode to stay on the star network for more than an hour, otherwise it may cause damage to mental power.

Ji Wenyuan just said it casually, seeing that he didn't take it seriously, he didn't stop him anymore.

Luo Qiubai quickly finished writing, looked it over, and said with satisfaction: "I've finished writing, Wen Yuan, what do you think?" He sent a copy to Ji Wenyuan.

Ji Wenyuan had no objection, and sincerely thanked him.

Early the next morning, the 280th anniversary celebration began.

The headmistress of the Frost Academy stood behind the curtain, watching the bustling crowd outside through the gap in the curtain.She is 317 years old this year, and as a sixth-level power user, she has entered her twilight years.Wrinkles are all over her skin, but she still has a unique beauty after years of baptism.

"The children are all cute, aren't they?" The headmistress seemed to be sighing, and also seemed to be asking Ji Wenyuan beside her.

Ji Wenyuan should be calm.

The headmistress glanced at Ji Wenyuan with a smile in her eyes, and said kindly: "My dear, you are also very cute."

Ji Wenyuan didn't say a word, he didn't feel that he had anything to do with this word.

The anniversary celebrations of the three colleges are held once every ten years, and they will be held together every hundred years.When it comes to school celebrations, the graduation ceremony of that year will be held together with the school celebrations.The school celebration this time is the 280th anniversary, so Selina was able to let Ji Wenyuan come to give a speech instead of her. If it is a joint school celebration of a hundred years, someone at the ministerial level must be present in person.

"How time flies." The female headmistress smiled. "It's really a happy thing that so many children can contribute to the empire. It's a pity that I won't be able to see it for a few years."

Ji Wenyuan remained silent.

People die, but sooner or later, and he doesn't feel sad about it.

Not long after, it was Ji Wenyuan's turn to give a speech.The audience sat in the dark, Ji Wenyuan looked around casually, and managed to see Luo Qiubai's handsome face at a glance among the crowd.

"..." He obviously didn't specifically look for Luo Qiubai.

He quickly withdrew his gaze, and recited the manuscript under the admiring eyes of all the underage and just-adult students, big and small.Luo Qiubai wrote it well, and later he condensed it a bit and stuffed it with a patriotic declaration, which is the version he is talking about now.However, this situation belongs to the leader's speech, and the students have to applaud regardless of whether they buy it or not, so he has no idea how effective his speech is really.

After Ji Wenyuan finished speaking, he stepped off the stage immediately, and the headmistress was still standing in the same position in the backstage, without moving at all.She was a little disgusted and said: "It's the same routine every year, you don't have any innovative spirit."

Ji Wenyuan: "..."

Seeing that he didn't respond, the headmistress sighed and said, "Okay, I won't force you. Come with me, and I'll take you to a good place to watch the performance."

The two came to the area where the school leaders were. Just as Ji Wenyuan sat down and looked up, he managed to see Luo Qiubai again from a crowd of people.

"..." Is Luo Qiubai so conspicuous?

"Honey, what are you looking at?" the headmistress asked suspiciously.

Ji Wenyuan forcibly restrained his urge to see Luo Qiubai, and said expressionlessly, "It's nothing."

into the night.

Luo Qiubai pretended to salute, turned his head to look at Ji Wenyuan beside him, pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm leaving."

There was no emotion on Ji Wenyuan's face, he said: "Be careful."

Luo Qiubai nodded obediently, his face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Ji Wenyuan with flickering eyes, as if shy and expectant: "You... don't you have anything you want to tell me? "

Ji Wenyuan was silent for two seconds, then slowly shook his head.

Luo Qiu lowered his head in despair.After a while, he forced a smile, picked up the suitcase and walked out the door.Ji Wenyuan followed him out and watched him close the door and change the information on the door plate to "The master is not at home".

Ji Wenyuan suddenly asked, "Why don't you bring a living robot?"

Luo Qiubai smiled, his brows and eyes were extraordinarily gentle under the moonlight: "I don't really like instructing robots to do this or that, they are all too smart, I always feel that they are the same as us humans, and they will feel the same. tired."

Ji Wenyuan looked at him for a while, and said with a sigh: "You are so kind." Kindness is so childish.

Luo Qiubai chuckled twice, opened the car door and sat in.The navigation system of the hover car starts to run automatically to drive the car forward.

Ji Wenyuan stood for a while, then calmly returned to his room.He sat on the high-backed chair in the study, looked through the one-way glass in the direction of Luo Qiubai's departure, and smiled playfully in his eyes.

"Luo Qiubai..." Are you really naive, or are you pretending to show me?

There has never been a self-aware robot in the Norman Empire, and even the robot with the highest level of intelligence will only act according to the programmed settings.In the final analysis, the living robot is just a machine with a human appearance. In fact, it is no different from the artificial intelligence of the autopilot system of the suspension vehicle.

If Luo Qiubai really thinks that robots are the same as human beings, it doesn't make sense for him to feel sorry for living robots but take autopilot for granted.So this person is either a fool who is deceived by appearance, or a scheming person who is deliberately pretending to be.

If Ji Wenyuan was really infatuated with Luo Qiubai deeply, he would not think so much, and would only be moved by his kindness again.But now he is extremely calm and has not lost his mind.

Yin Nuo, the life robot, came in with coffee and respectfully placed it in front of Ji Wenyuan.

"Do you like Luo Qiubai, Yin Nuo?" Ji Wenyuan picked up the coffee gracefully and took a sip.

Yin Nuo bowed and replied: "Vice Minister's preference is Yin Nuo's only criterion."

Ji Wenyuan smiled lowly and remained silent.
