Volume 1 Sleep Chapter 17 The Hand of Fate
When Ji Yu received the summons from Queen Bee, the overall results of the spring had just been announced.
With only one sub-course and his recent focus on fighter training, his overall ranking has dropped outside the top 10.
Queen Bee's partiality towards Chi Yu has long been a well-known thing, and Chi Yu is also accustomed to this kind of summons and condolences from time to time, but this time it is different, maybe it is the reason for the unsatisfactory results, he always feels a little uneasy.
Along the way, Ji Yu was sorting out the wording, the joy and indulgence of the queen bee could not be infinite, this Ji Yu knew very well, and now is not the time for a showdown, if necessary, he needs to take some time after this time to take another sub-course to make up for the total score gap.
It was only when he pushed open the door to the queen bee's office that his heart sank, and all the excuses he had prepared dissipated from his mind.
The queen bee piled herself up in that extremely luxurious fur soft seat, his dressing style was the same as always, with various colors, but today it was all dark tones, and the makeup was also cloudy, and the whole person was gloomy. Although he had a familiar smile on his face, Chi Yu couldn't feel half a smile in his eyes, only a bitter cold like a poisonous snake.
Before Ji Yu could salute, he said, "I've been a little busy lately, so I haven't been able to take care of you for a while!"
Without thinking too much, Chi Yu made a military order: "As long as I take another sub-course, I will definitely be able to catch up on the score difference next season!"
But the queen bee shook her finger, he stood up, walked to Chi Yu and said: "It's just a false name, and this ranking mechanism is just to let those who have no capital and are tired of heart see how many people work harder than them, and the result of being satisfied with the comfortable status quo is to become a stepping stone for others, hmm...... Although it can be used as a reference for some appraisal value, it is not for you. β
He paced slowly around Ji Yu, his fingers running from one side of Ji Yu's shoulder along his back to the other.
"You are different from them, your value is innate, like a piece of jade, and the subsequent progress is only carved by craftsmanship to present a more perfect form. β
He spread out his palms and stroked gently on Ji Yu's thick chest.
"From the beginning, I didn't expect anything from you, because this is inevitable, the number one card in my hive future must be you, and you, working harder than I expected, I am very satisfied!"
Ji Yu struggled to relax his naturally tense body, and the queen bee's words sounded full of praise, but he felt more and more cold to his bones.
"Look, this face and body, young and mature, even I can't help but feel tempted. The queen bee lifted his chin again, and sighed incessantly.
Ji Yu looked away from the queen bee, and his heart was like a boulder pressing against him, almost making him breathless. At this time, he suddenly felt that those straightforward barbarians became cute.
Finally, the hand of fate that had been held in vain fell, but it was heavy.
"Excess craftsmanship cannot be regarded as carving, but destruction. And for you, this level is just right, there is no need to compete with those clowns who jump off the beam, I think, it's time for you to reflect your true value. β
The queen bee gently leaned against the gorgeous and spacious long table and said the final judgment against Ji Yu, her eyes full of cold smiles.
Chi Yu was like being struck by lightning, and he pulled out a smile with difficulty, intending to make a final struggle: "I think I still lack a lot, and I still have ......"
But the queen bee immediately interrupted him, and exclaimed, "Why, you don't seem to be very happy, you must know that those inferior species will have at least a year or two before they have a chance to prove themselves, and if nothing else, you will already be on the throne by then." The hive has always been a world of new blood, and you are ahead of everyone from now on, so what are you not satisfied with?"
Ji Yu raised his head and glanced at the queen bee, then silently lowered his head.
He knew that if he continued, the way he would leave this room today would not be by his own legs.
"No, thank you Queen Bee for your kindness. β
"Okay, I'm a little sleepy, so I won't talk to you in detail, I'll arrange the relevant matters later, go and wait. β
The queen bee waved her hand, and Ji Yu turned around mechanically and walked out of the room with heavy steps.
Watching Chi Yu's back disappear, Queen Bee snorted from her nostrils and said to herself, "Smart little guy, it's a pity that reality is not so easy to defeat." β
He raised his hand to observe it carefully, frowned, and then began the tireless application process again.
Chi Yu returned to the dormitory like a walking corpse, and Yu Zhihua and Xia Wei were shocked when they saw him. Yu Zhihua, who was washing clothes, hurriedly dried his hands and stretched out his forehead to test it, wondering: "What's the matter? I'm not sick!"
Xia Wei jumped out of bed, patted Chi Yu's shoulder hard, and frowned, "Beaten?"
Chi Yu shook his head and said bitterly: "I can't continue to participate in the training camp." β
Xia Wei didn't react for a while, and Yu Zhihua exclaimed: "Impossible, aren't you just ......"
He paused, seemed to think of something, and sighed: "Okay, your development is a little more mature than I was at the beginning, but that's not a reason!"
Ji Yu rubbed his head vigorously and said in despair: "I don't know, my mind is a mess right now." β
"Maybe we were targeted during private training, but we weren't cautious enough!" Xia Wei, who turned his head, touched his chin and groaned, seeing Yu Zhihua's puzzled gaze, he spread his hands helplessly, "There are still a lot of existences in the mansion that I can't detect, if the queen bee has a heart, it will naturally not escape his eyes." β
"Then what are you going to do now, do you want to give up?" Yu Zhihua said with a straight face, he was rarely solemn.
Chi Yu calmed down and said in a deep voice: "No, I don't want to give up!"
"But now it's not just a matter of time and resources. Xia Wei said worriedly, he glanced at Yu Zhihua, and continued, "There is also the most important problem, the work of the hive will constantly hollow out people, both physically and mentally. In the long run, it's not something you can decide whether you give up or not. β
Just mentioned the fighting spirit and was smashed again, Chi Yu was immediately deflated like a frosted eggplant.
Yu Zhihua's eyes flashed slightly, and he patted his shoulder with both hands and encouraged: "Okay, don't be depressed, the road to heaven and earth, walking and seeing, you have put in so much effort, let's deal with the current level first, I will tell you some more critical matters." β
Chi Yu perked up a little, cheered up and listened carefully to Yu Zhihua's advice from the "seniors", and Xia Wei, who couldn't interject, could only curse the queen bee angrily on the side.
The next day, before the twilight had completely fallen, Ji Yu was taken to the headquarters of the hive.
This is the first time in two years that he has entered and exited the business and entertainment area of the mansion except for the one when he was traded, and he has suddenly crossed over from an environment where he can only see his peers to a place where all kinds of people flow, like a new acquaintance with the world. On the way, a strong man who smelled of alcohol and a richly dressed merchant rubbed in the corridor that was not very spacious when people came and went. While scolding and scolding angrily, his face was full of contempt and disgust, and finally in the laughter and mediation of the commander who led Chi Yu to both sides, Shang Jia invited the strong man to have another drink, and the strong man paid out of his pocket with an unrefusable face, and the two ended up laughing. Ji Yu was stunned to watch from the sidelines, and felt that it was really incredible.
He was then taken to a bath, where he was washed from head to toe by two maids dressed in wisps, and finally anointed him. The subtle aroma of this oil creates a highlight that makes the muscles more visible and has a more visual impact.
Chi Yu's eyes were closed with a flushed face the whole time, and his body was as stiff as wood, which caused a lot of laughter from the two maids.
After doing all this, he was taken behind the scenes of a large hall to wait.
Yu Zhihua said that this round is called "recruiting bees", and only those bees who have not been booked and newcomers who have come out of the nest for the first time will participate. And for a newcomer like Chi Yu, this is the first round of direct self-esteem test, he will be exposed to the public for admiration, and countless kinds of eyes will hit his mental defense line without leaving any trace.
Even if Yu Zhihua revealed it in advance, Chi Yu still couldn't help but want to flee immediately, but the two big men at the entrance kept reminding him that tonight, the most important thing was only his life.
The hall was dimly lit and the atmosphere was sluggish. Through the curtain, Chi Yu heard the attendant loudly introducing each of the bees that appeared on the stage, and then there were bursts of women's laughter and explicit laughter.
I don't know how long it took, but Chi Yu heard the attendants behind the curtain begin to introduce himselfβhe was the only one left in the entire waiting room.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly rose high, as the attendant's introduction described as best he could how Ji Yu was different from Ji Yu, who appeared in the finale, and mentioned that he was still a chick.
Ji Yu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and left his seat.
However, at this time, the introduction came to an abrupt end, and someone hastily interrupted the vivid speech of the attendant, and a senior sub-commander replaced him, and then began to come up with a bunch of various reasons to indicate that the "finale" would be canceled.
There was a commotion outside the curtain, and Chi Yu opened a corner and was about to take a sneak peek, but was softly stopped.
He looked back and saw that the Commander, who had led him in the first place, was now looking at him with a strange expression.
Chi Yu felt a little inexplicable, and the commander just beckoned, and ordered the two big men guarding the door: "Find him decent clothes, and then take them to the Tide Pavilion! This body of oil is also wiped for him, like a loach, don't spoil the interest of the guests!"
"It's strange, how could that lady know about this kid......"
Before leaving, Ji Yu heard him mumble to himself again.
