72 Chapter 072 - A Day Date
The rest of the journey was as difficult as expected.
Captain Dominica needs to carry the "weight" forward, and no one else can accelerate alone......
But Ax had a feeling that their team had never been so harmonious, as if they had been twisted into a rope.
Lilith sobbed on Dominica's shoulder for a few minutes, then calmed down, and she tilted her head slightly to see beads of sweat on the forehead of the person carrying her.
The little girl didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were fixed on the road ahead, and she fell silent.
After walking some distance, they finally came to a new mission point - thankfully, this time there was no team to catch up with them.
But the girls knew very well that their advantage was not obvious, and perhaps as soon as the mission began, another team would rush over, after all, it was very close to the exit shown on the map.
According to the original plan, they can also abandon this mission point and move to the last mission point, which will be more certain.
But Lilith sprained her foot, and even if Prince Ax were to carry her forward, they wouldn't be able to find the next mission point before the other team caught up.
Therefore, everyone did not hesitate and almost immediately began to divide and cooperate.
Generally speaking, the basic composition of each task point is "riddle + clue + obstacle".
This not only tests the team's eagerness to face practical problems, but also tests the cooperation and tacit understanding between the team members.
After solving the first puzzle together, Lilith and Grace continue to solve the next puzzle, while the other members work in groups to complete the prescribed actions in the task, such as finding certain items and arranging them in a form.
Perhaps it was the sudden tacit understanding that made them cooperate better, and they quickly completed the two layers of puzzles and began to enter the third layer.
At this moment, a voice came from the dense forest...... Soon, two all-boy teams caught up!
One of the teams was the one with two sentinels, and they glanced at the girls and Prince Carter, as if they thought it was too much of a bully to compete with them for a task.
The captain of the men's team looked at the map, discussed with his teammates for half a minute, and finally gave up the mission point and headed for the last mission point.
The other men's team also has a Sentinel, but only a guard, and they are able to keep up with the other team because they have abandoned a mission point...... I didn't expect to be caught up in the end.
They finally arrived here, and it can be regarded as the end of the crossbow, and then to the next task point, it is better to continue to PK with that team, it is better to stay.
- There is only a group of girls here, and there is a pampered little prince who looks weak, and it is easier to deal with than a team with two sentinels!
Not all men in this world are pitiful, although these girls and the little prince are all guides, but for ordinary people, guides are simply their unreachable objects.
If it is impossible to develop further relationships with these beautiful guides, why show mercy to them now?
The only sentry on the team, although he is instinctively reluctant to do anything to damage the guide, but acting with the team, he can't make decisions alone, not to mention that he is not the captain randomly selected by the system.
Akers saw that one team left, and the stone in his heart was half lowered, while the other team stayed, which was also in his expectation, so he didn't panic too much.
In terms of physical strength, their team is definitely not as good as the all-male team, but if it comes to outwitting, there is still some certainty - these female classmates of Ax are not only all guides, but also all students.
Akers was just worried that the little girls on the team would be scared and panicked when they saw a boy coming.
Especially Lilith and Grace, who are now solving the mystery - those boys also have to start their quests with the puzzle.
So the first to face the "enemy" are the two of them!
Akers was working with Dominica as part of a mission, and the two of them looked at each other, and Axes motioned for himself to go over and have a look.
Maybe having a boy by their side would calm Lilith and Grace's hearts a little.
Dominica thought of the girl who had just cried and didn't stop Ax.
She estimated the progress for a moment, and only said to Akers: "You used to directly participate in their riddle solving, and when we finish solving all the riddles, we will carry out other activities, even if the other party wants to copy our actions, it will be too late." β
According to the regulations of simulated actual combat, a task point can only pass the qualification once, and it will be recorded if it is completed.
If two or more teams are working on a task at the same time, and someone tries to speed up their progress by peeking at someone else's actions, they can be judged to have cheated as long as someone can provide relevant evidence, and the task grade will be invalidated.
But Axes' goal is to complete the task first on their side, otherwise even if the report is successful, they will not be able to get the score of the six tasks.
It's all here, it's only one step away from success, and they know very well which is more important.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Akers walked quickly to the room where the mystery was placed, and sure enough, he saw several boys gathered there, looking very imposing.
Worried about the girls on the team, Akes immediately walked over.
Who knew that when they walked in, they found that Lilith and Grace didn't feel affected in the slightest, and they were each writing and drawing on their own terminals, very focused.
Before Ax could read the words on the screen, Lilith suddenly looked up and whispered a few words to Grace.
In order to avoid being heard by the "enemy", they actually didn't directly say the answer to the riddle, but just confirmed the key points with each other covertly, and they had already understood everything.
There was a glint of excitement in their eyes, and they couldn't help but grin.
Lilith is not able to move, and Grace is ready to go out and tell her teammates the clues revealed by the next puzzle - the two of them can play dumb riddles between them because they know the front and back of the puzzle well, but to really tell the teammates outside how to actually operate, there are some things that must be described verbally, or they cannot be explained.
But these stinky boys are gathered here, and they can't even use terminal communication!
Akers hurriedly spoke up, indicating that he was also there. Grace was overjoyed when she saw him, and the two of them immediately went outside the house.
- That guard's five senses are better than ordinary people, and it's too dangerous to talk in the room!
However, as soon as they walked out of the room, they noticed that the guard had walked out with another boy, and the guard looked at Ax and Grace with embarrassed faces.
Ax: They immediately understood what the other party was going to do - he was called out by his teammates and eavesdropped!
Dominica soon noticed something was wrong, but she didn't stop what she was doing, and motioned to the other pair not to run over to helpβeveryone had something to do, and that's the foundation of a team.
"Classmate, we are all fair competition, if you continue to do this, no one will end up in the end, why bother?" Grace pretended to be calm and said to the two boys.
She has always been steady, and when she encounters such a thing, she can't help but feel angry.
"What does it mean to continue like this? What to continue? The ordinary boy joked: "We just came out to breathe, there are too many people crowded inside, are you doing a task, don't you allow others to stand here?" β
"Oops, you've got a scoundrel!" Qiuqiu said in Akers's consciousness: "It's just a small role that is very inward-looking, since the other party wants to use a means of cheating, you can also take extraordinary measures!" β
Ax immediately understood what Qiuqiu meant, he turned his head to Grace and said with an exaggerated expression, "Oh my God, shouldn't Olbi National University be the best university in your country?" Are all the students here of this quality? β
When Grace heard this, she was stunned at first.
She and Ax had been together for a while, and knew that the Prince Carter usually spoke to them neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a gentle attitude, and was a kind and polite person.
But what he said just now was not only sharp, but also had a strong sense of provocation, and it can be said that the slightest carelessness would push things bigger.
However, Grace's grandfather was a former prime minister, and her family was illustrious, and she was a politician, and in some respects she was deeply experienced and inherited from her elders, at least she had her own unique views on people and words.
- Prince Ax's attitude changed too quickly, this is not normal......
Linked to the actions of the "enemy" just now, Grace came up with an idea.
- If the enemy is a scoundrel, it is useless to reason at this time, and if you want to restrain the other party, you will either be more scoundrel than them, or you will make the other party have some scruples and dare not do it again!
Grace guesses that Prince Ax is using the school's honor as a "threat" to remind the other party not to gamble with the reputation of his alma mater.
Thinking that this method was very feasible, Grace immediately said loudly: "Of course not, Your Highness! β
She pronounced the word "Your Highness" very seriously, as if to remind the other party - you are facing Carter's royal family, so your words and deeds represent the Federation at this time, ignorant teenagers!
After listening to Axes and Grace's words, the two boys were visibly stunned.
Grace swept her eyes and decided to add a fire: "I heard that you have a particularly good relationship with the Lin family in the Marshal's Mansion, don't you think they are such people?" And Peter, whose father is the Financial Secretary, you must have an impression......"
Then he introduced all the students with prominent families in the class - the Marshal's Mansion, the Lin family, the Financial Secretary......
Because these are not secrets, it doesn't matter if you say it, in fact, as long as the boy on the other side pays a little attention to the school forum, he will know that there are indeed many people with tough backgrounds in this all-guide team.
Seeing that Grace not only understood what he meant, Axes immediately "drew inferences from one another" and gave full play to this temporary bluffing method!
- Look, these female classmates of his are so powerful! See if you dare to offend!
Ax was clearly not the only one who was shocked.
The two boys on the other side didn't hear Grace's words, but at least they remembered one thing.
- Is it really necessary for them to offend these people and their families for a score?
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
As the last mystery was solved, Axes and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there were two or three more teams on the mission site, they were no longer a threat to them - they would soon have to complete all the steps.
Just after his wonderful and tacit cooperation with Grace, the two boys outside were finally calmed down, and they had no choice but to give up, and they returned to the house to have a small meeting with their teammates.
They didn't eavesdrop on the specific content, and of course they didn't have the energy to eavesdrop, they only knew that the other party left the task point after the meeting.
- I guess I think I'm going to lose anyway, to a team with two sentinels, or to a team with all girls (Akers: Kouhu!! (γΒ°ηΒ°)γ 彑β»ββ»), which one looks more chic, isn't it easy to choose?
The young people, who had just been driven by the desire to win and began to do whatever it took to do so, realized their problems and chose to leave.
In this way, there is no one to compete with Axes, but everyone does not slack off because of this, but works harder and does their best to do their job well.
The teams that caught up later saw their progress and lost the meaning of competition, and some teams even simply sat next to them and rested, while resting and watching Axes and them do their tasks.
- If you put aside the competition, it's still quite pleasing to the eye!
Of course, Ax: They don't notice anyone else's gaze right now.
They focused on what they were doing until the task was actually completed, and several people didn't even believe it for a while.
The applause from the side woke up the Axes from their stunned stupor - they really did it!
β¦β¦
As a result of completing the required six tasks, Axes became the team with the highest score among the more than 140 teams in the whole grade with simulated combat projects, and entered the top 10 of the grade with five women and one male guide.
Akers has achieved very good results in the previous physical training, hiking training, and obstacle training, coupled with the high score of the last simulated actual combat, and finally his entire military training results are very good, nearly 20 points higher than Lin Zexin.
Of course, this is not as good as captain Dominica, who scored perfect points in the first three and only deducted four points in the last one, which means that she has 96 points in the end.
This score is almost comparable to the performance of a Sentinel in a simulated actual battle.
Not to mention the outside world, even within the class has caused a lot of discussion.
Even the two boys, Peter and Roque, came over curiously to find Ax and gossip.
β¦β¦
With the end of the simulated actual combat and the announcement of the results of the military training, Akes did not stay in the school for long before returning to the Marshal's Mansion.
After the military training, the school gives the new students a week to recover and adjust, and then classes will officially begin.
In fact, most of the local students who live in Syst go home to rest, and only students like Dominica, who are too far from home, spend the week in their dorms.
But for her, it wasn't something to be sad about - she had come all the way to Sist, not to get home for the holidays!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
When Aks and Lin Zexin returned to the Marshal's Mansion, they were warmly welcomed...... A warm welcome from the little wolf cubs, to be exact.
Mr. Gray took Chen Xu directly to the tarmac of the Marshal's Mansion to pick up the little prince and Xiaolin, but he was left far behind.
As soon as Ax stepped off the aircraft, he saw a small round furball "rolling" from a distance.
It can be seen that the little guy has taken a little short leg and has exerted 100% of his strength, only to see that it is like a small whirlwind, neatly thrown into Ax's arms.
Akers kissed it twice on the little head, and the little wolf cub immediately reached for Akers' neck and tried to rub his chin.
That's when Mr. Gray and Shota Jr. came to him.
After greeting them, Akers held the little wolf cub in one hand and Chen Xu in the other, and walked towards the General's Building.
Xiao Zhengtai looked up to look at Ax from time to time, and was discovered by the little prince, so he suddenly said with a straight face: "It's dark." That serious little expression made him look like a little adult, which was very interesting.
Akers smiled and showed a pair of dimples, and said happily: "They all said that I didn't turn black, only Yang Yang found out!" Or are we yangyang powerful! β
In fact, after the military training, all the girls in the class except Dominica were not very happy.
Although there are the best protective facilities, outdoor activities are still different from the fact that they used to stay indoors without direct light.
The only one in the class who hasn't changed much is the "naturally beautiful" little prince, His Royal Highness Axes!
The girls watched Akes's complexion and skin texture with their own eyes, and they couldn't be too envious and jealous.
If it weren't for Lilith and their "sharing weal and sound" with Ax this time and establishing a revolutionary friendship, it is estimated that they would have decided to hate Prince Ax from now on.
- Just because he doesn't tan or not, he can already be listed as the number one public enemy by the eldest (female) family (student)! This kind of abomination is the same level as not eating fat!
But such a subtle change was discovered by Xiao Zhengtai, and Ax thought that maybe it was the talent of the sentinels - they could always notice things that others didn't notice.
β¦β¦
Akers deliberately asked Xiao Zhengtai, "Is it bad to be dark?" β
The little fellow looked at Ax, as if trying to judge his joy and anger from the expression on his face, he considered it for a moment, and continued to say solemnly, "Not bad. β
The adults laughed when they heard this, and Axes immediately asked him, "Why?" β
This time, Xiao Zhengtai did not hesitate, and said directly: "Health." β
Whether he meant to tan a little bit and look healthier, or to exercise more and be healthier, so it didn't matter if he was darker, Ax didn't intend to tell.
- In any case, Yang Yang is concerned about him, just like he cares about Yang Yang, and his heart is like an arrow.
In the following week, they had a very comfortable life, but the only regrettable thing was that three weeks had passed, and Chen Jing, who had planned to return, had postponed his return to Sister because of other temporary matters.
Until Akers started his "day school" career, and Xiao Zhengtai's birthday was getting closer and closer, the news from Chen Jing's side was still infrequent.
At the beginning, Chen Jing said that as long as he had a vacation, he could take Xiao Zhengtai outside to celebrate his birthday - now it seems that it may be difficult to achieve.
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Finally, Chen Xu's fifth birthday has arrived.
There is no marshal in the Marshal's Mansion, and Akers, as another male host and "sister-in-law", prepared a lively birthday party for Xiao Zhengtai together with Mr. Gray and Lin Zexin.
Although there were only a few of them, there were no cakes, delicacies, and gifts piled up in a small mountain.
Although Xiao Zhengtai didn't show too much excitement, the way he immediately began to open the gift still revealed his inner excitement.
The gifts inside were sent by Admiral Chen Xing and his wife, who were far away from the Fifth Star Zone, as well as those prepared by Chen Jing and Hai En in advance, and of course, Ax and their ......
All in all very rich.
But Akers is not sure about the psychological impact of his brother's absence at the birthday party.
After eating the cake, Akers played a game with him in Xiao Zhengtai's room, and then said to the little one: "Yangyang is going to sleep, and when Yangyang wakes up, he will be five years old!" β
Xiao Zhengtai thought about it and felt that this picture was still worth looking forward to, so he obediently went to wash, was carried into the quilt by Akes, and quickly closed his eyes.
Ax gently withdrew from his room, and was about to return to his room when he was startled by the tall figure at the top of the staircase.
"General!" Akes walked over excitedly, and before he could take two steps, he was embraced by the oncoming man.
"Ax." The other man's deep voice lingered in Akers' ears, as misty as a midnight dream.
β¦β¦
By the time Xiao Zhengtai woke up from his dream again, he had already become a five-year-old little pot friend.
And his elder brother Chen Jingxing also rushed home at the last moment.
"Today Akers and I took Yangyang to Olbi's playground to play." Chen Jing sat in the restaurant and announced the decision to everyone.
After breakfast, Chen Jing and Akers took the little guy to make some preparations.
The main thing is to make some necessary camouflage.
It was the first time for Akers to see Chen Jing like this, and the state of being a fan brother immediately appeared.
