Demon's Self-cultivation

Carrying beautiful dreams but being hit hard by reality, even the great heart demon can't help but doubt Mo Sheng.

Saying goodbye to his host, Qiao Qiao returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and then nestled under the quilt, with a look of lovelessness on his face—he really, really, really wanted to die .

When Zhang Jie returned to the dormitory holding the ball and sweating profusely, what he saw was his little friend wrapped in a quilt like a silkworm chrysalis thinking about life.

Noticing his extremely depressed expression, Zhang Jie hastily wiped off his sweat, even put aside the shower, and hurriedly leaned over to ask, "Qiao Qiao, what's the matter with you? Are you unhappy?"

"...Well, not happy." Qiao Qiao glanced at him lazily.

"Because...running?" Zhang Jie scratched his hair in doubt—he thought that his little friend was used to running every day, but he didn't expect this sport to hit him so hard?

"Of course it's not because of this!" Sensing what Zhang Jie was thinking, Xiaoxiaomo justified himself angrily, "I won't be unhappy because of running!"

Zhang Jie: "………………………"

——Well, if you want to say so, you can say so. Anyway, everyone knows the facts, and you just need to be happy.

"If it's not for this, what is it for?" Zhang Jie shrugged his shoulders, wisely not to poke Qiao Qiao's fried hair.

"Because... I want to be admitted to the high school affiliated to the Central Military Academy of Huaxia." Xiaoxiaomo sat up holding the quilt, pouted his lips, "but my physique is too poor, so I can't pass the exam."

For his little friend's weak chicken—no, it's a physique that can't even beat a chicken, Zhang Jie really couldn't comfort him against his will.After thinking for a moment, he blinked his eyes: "Well... I've heard of this school, where students' physical fitness is more important than their academic performance. If you want to get in, it's... um..."

Be careful: "………………==###"

Under the angry gaze of his friends, Zhang Jie, who had a strong desire to survive, finally swallowed the following four words "Arabian Nights" wisely.

The Little Beacon snorted, and barely withdrew his mental power of wanting to "destroy relatives with righteousness".

"But speaking of it, I also want to take the exam in that high school. I guess my grades in cultural subjects are terrible, but my physical fitness is good. It should be more suitable for me." Scratching his cheek, Zhang Jie's eyes brightened, and he thought it was a good proposal "Otherwise, after I pass the exam, I will take you there to play?"

The little devil who was stepped on to the scales quickly, ruthlessly and accurately again: "………………==###"

Lifting his white and tender paws and pointing to the bathroom, Little Beacon looked cold: "Go away, you stink! I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Zhang Jie, who was suddenly attacked personally: "…………?????"

In short, after being beaten by Mandel, the little devil was beaten again by Zhang Jie, which caused him to not cheer up for a whole week at school, and returned to the orphanage with a dispirited mood.

The children who went to school for the first time were still relatively new to school life. As soon as they returned to the orphanage, they chatted non-stop, exchanging with each other about their school life.Among this group of jumping children, Qiao Qiao, who kept her head bowed and kept silent, seemed extraordinarily special.

Finding that his little guy was depressed, Xu Zhengjie thought he wasn't used to school life, so he hurriedly dragged him to a secluded place, trying to enlighten him.

Listening to Xu Zhengjie beating around the bush for a long time, the bewildered Little Demon finally figured out what the other party wanted to express, and couldn't help but feel very helpless: "Uncle Xu, don't worry, the school is very good. The teachers and classmates are very friendly. I'm used to it." very good."

——Yes, reading "idle books" in class and not handing in homework, the teacher is indifferent and amiable; after class, he follows Zhang Jiehu and pretends to be a tiger, and is "starred by the stars" by his classmates.

"Then why are you so unhappy?" Xu Zhengjie breathed a sigh of relief, giving up the idea of ​​going to the school immediately to ask for an explanation, and asked gently.

Qiao Qiao pursed his lips and told Xu Zhengjie about his troubles, then he raised his head and looked expectantly at this outstanding graduate who was said to be Genzheng Miaohong from the Central Military Academy of China: "Uncle Xu, what do you have?" Is there a way for me to go to school there?"

Xu Zhengjie, who had high hopes: "…………………"

Although Xu Zhengjie is very familiar with the faculty and staff of the Central Military Academy, and is a nominal honorary tutor, and indeed has a certain right to speak in the academy, it is impossible for him to open the back door and send Qiao Qiao to the affiliated high school.

Because Qiao Qiao is really too weak, Xu Zhengjie is not only worried that he will not be able to keep up with the training progress after entering, but also worried that the training intensity far beyond the tolerance of ordinary people will damage Qiao Qiao's fragile body-in case the little guy doesn't know how to rely on What should I do if the mutated mental power that is unreliable and reliable for a long time cannot hold the amount of training in the school?

In any case, Xu Zhengjie couldn't take any risks.The High School Affiliated to the Central Military Academy is indeed a first-class study in the entire China Alliance, but it is completely unsuitable for Qiao Qiao to study - it will only delay his development and affect his health.

Therefore, Xu Zhengjie would never give Qiao Qiao any hope: "Sorry, I can't do this."

Jojo lowered his head, returning to depression.

Xu Zhengjie touched his drooping little head, with a puzzled tone: "Why do you suddenly want to study there?"

"Because Brother Mandel and Ajie both want to go there, and Brother Mandel is already checking the school's admissions brochure..." Be careful to reply, "They all went, but I can't go."

Xu Zhengjie laughed: "You can go to other schools in Central Star. There are many good schools in that area. Even if you don't want to be separated from your friends, you don't have to only look for that school."

"But... they will be separated after graduation, won't they?" Qiaoqiao blinked, "After graduation, Brother Mandel and Ajie will enter the army and go to the battlefield, but I can't."

It was a little surprising that the little guy thought so far, but Xu Zhengjie was not surprised either.After all, although Qiao Qiao looks young, he has the mental power of S, and it is only natural that his thinking is more mature than ordinary children.

"What's so good about going to the battlefield? It's not a good place." Xu Zhengjie shook his head disapprovingly, "It's too dangerous, it's not suitable for you."

"But I want to go!" Qiao Qiao retorted stubbornly, "Brother Mandel and Ajie will go, isn't Uncle Xu also always on the battlefield? Where the person I like is there, I like it and want to go there !"

——Of course, even if the person he likes is not there, he still likes the battlefield, the blood, death and grief.Xiaoxiaomo silently added in his heart.

Unaware of the real reason why Xiaoxiaomo loves the battlefield, Xu Zhengjie was taken aback for a moment, almost shedding a tear of heroism by his innocent (?) childish language.

——After all, Xu Zhengjie had endured too much pressure from his family and relatives on the battlefield before.His wife and children blamed him for only thinking about the country and his comrades-in-arms, and not knowing how to cherish his family. They were disappointed that he was far away from home every time his family needed him.Xu Zhengjie didn't want to do this either, but the responsibilities on his shoulders left him with no other choice but to turn around and leave under the lonely eyes of his relatives again and again.

But now, Xu Zhengjie felt an indescribable comfort when the little guy beside him casually said "I like the battlefield because of you", as if he had obtained the understanding and support from his family that he had been looking forward to.

Just because of this sentence, Xu Zhengjie couldn't bear to dispel Qiao Qiao's idea of ​​"going to the battlefield".What's more... What's more, what's more, most of the wishes when I was a child are just wishes, and very few of them can realize them when they grow up.

Just like Xu Zhengjie himself, when he was a child, his ideal was to become a powerful, free and romantic star thief, driving his own battleship to travel the universe.But when he grew up, he became a regular soldier, and mercilessly defeated countless Star Thief gangs that he had dreamed of in childhood.

——If those star thieves who hated him so much learned about his childhood wish, they would probably vomit half a liter of blood, and then laugh at him forever, right?

Childhood ideals are naive and unrealistic after all, but when you grow up and have more exposure to things, this ideal will naturally turn into a down-to-earth goal.

Reassuring himself in this way, Xu Zhengjie smiled slightly: "If you want to go to the battlefield, you don't have to be admitted to a military academy."

"Really?" Little Beast's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?"

"There are not only soldiers on the battlefield, but talents in other fields are also needed." Xu Zhengjie took Qiao Qiao into his arms and said earnestly, "For example...we need weapons technicians on the battlefield, who are responsible for repairing damaged ships and mechs. , instruments, and even deciphering the enemy’s new weapons and thinking about solutions; for another example, medical technicians are also needed on the battlefield to heal the wounded and respond to emergencies. Astronomers, physicists, negotiators... the situation on the battlefield It is complex and changeable, and no one knows what unexpected situation will be encountered after a voyage, so talents in various fields are always prepared. And these people usually sit in the rear, and the requirements for physical fitness are not as good as they need to be on the front line Fighting soldiers are so strict.” Pausing, thinking about Qiao Qiao’s body, which is more fragile than most people, Xu Zhengjie added uncertainly, “If you exercise hard and improve your physique, professionally, you will be able to improve your physique.” If it is particularly outstanding, there should be a chance to be selected and sent to the battlefield."

——In short, no matter what, let’s draw a big pie first.Maybe Jojo would be less resistant to exercise because of this?

Xu Zhengjie's words opened the door to a new world for the little devil, and Qiao Qiao stared at Xu Zhengjie with burning eyes, falling into a beautiful imagination.

Although the method is different from what I thought, but as long as he goes to the battlefield, it is enough to be careful and happy.What's more, the heart demon who thinks he is elegant and noble (?) really doesn't like himself to fight with a gun, and his face is bloody and sweaty - he would rather sit in the rear than charge in the front , secretly playing tricks.

"Really? Uncle Xu didn't lie to me?" Xiaomo, who found Mosheng's direction again, confirmed it again.

"Well, I'm not lying to you." Xu Zhengjie, who was a little guilty, nodded seriously, "The uncle Chen Chuan I introduced you to before, he is not a soldier, but he met me on the battlefield." Recalling his acquaintance with Chen Chuan Xu Zhengjie's expression was gentle, "At that time, he and I were both brats, I was a recruit, and he just graduated. Because of his excellent grades and his research on particle weapons, he was taken to the front line by his instructor for training."

Sighing softly, Xu Zhengjie said helplessly: "Although humans have entered the interstellar era for a long time, the border friction with other cosmic races has never been broken. Star robbers are rampant, and there are occasional conflicts in the human alliance. Therefore, the government Most of the talents who are willing to train with all their heart have military experience. Only after experiencing the flames of war can they most effectively temper their willpower and team cohesion, and cultivate their loyalty to the motherland."

"Where's Teacher Zhang Chongming?" Qiao Qiao rubbed his chin, "Has he ever been to the battlefield?"

"Yes, he also has military experience, he was a military doctor." Xu Zhengjie recalled the resume of Zhang Chongming he had seen, and affirmed.

Immediately, Little Beacon felt relieved.

If there is a chance to go to the battlefield without entering the military academy, then the little devil naturally doesn't need to be attached to any military academy.Although it is a pity that I cannot enter the same school as my host, it is not unacceptable to find a school nearby.

What's more, the little devil who still hates sports now thinks of the insane (?) training content described in the admissions brochure, and actually still has a little... a little fear in his heart.

Well, only a "little" bit!

——It’s great to be able to go to the battlefield without going to the military academy!Thanks to his magic tutor, Uncle Xu!
