Liuli stood on the simple podium and accepted the championship trophy presented by Su Jintao. He stepped down again amid everyone's applause. See, everything is really simplified to the extreme. You don't even need to prepare an acceptance speech. After the award ceremony, Liuli originally wanted to see the video of Bai Yiran's competition. However, her mental strength today was really seriously depleted, and even if she recuperated in the recuperation cabin for a while in the afternoon, she still did not fully recover. Thinking that this competition was actually paving the way for cleaning up spies, Ruri felt that it was better to stay in the best shape at all times. So Liuli finally went back to the hotel to rest.

When she returned to the room, Liuli saw Liu Shaohong sitting there with a lost face. Liuli knew that this time Liu Shaohong and Zhang Minzhi did not enter the top ten. Ruri stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Do you like the profession of commander?" ”

Liu Shaohong raised her head a little confused, looked at Liuli, and then said softly: "Actually, I don't know very well. But I chose this path a long time ago. I am the one who chooses to go one way to the dark. ”

Liuli sat opposite her, and looked straight into Liu Shaohong's eyes: "Since you have decided, go on this road all the time." Then you should understand that the profession of commander is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. Do you know what qualities you need to have to be a competent commander? ”

Liu Shaohong was a little overwhelmed by the question suddenly asked by Liuli. She hadn't recovered from her loss yet. Faced with Liuli's questions one after another, she seemed a little overwhelmed.

Liuli didn't wait for her to answer, and said directly: "Calm, decisive, tenacious, and responsible." To do this, you need to have a strong psychological quality. This time, it was just a small game. If you can't get out of it, then all I can say is that I don't have a strong heart, and it's better to quit the command profession. Because, this will make you unable to afford the lives of your soldiers in future wars. As a commander, he is not arrogant in victory, not defeated, and defeated again and again. If you can't even get rid of the impact of winning or losing a game. Then don't waste your time on this difficult path. ”

After Liuli said this, she no longer cared about Liu Shaohong, who was sitting there thoughtfully. After she went to wash, she lay down under the covers.

The next morning, Ruri got up. It was found that Liu Shaohong had returned to normal. The two of them went to breakfast again with a smile and a smile. Today is a mecha fighting competition, and there are a lot of people watching the game. After all, the Federation advocates the supremacy of force, and as a reservist, there is always a trace of blood in his heart. Just like Ruri, you can't sit on a mecha for the rest of your life. But that didn't stop her from appreciating mech combat. Knowing that there are a lot of people watching the game today, Liuli will get up early. It's just to be able to find a good spot in the viewing room.

As a result, at seven o'clock, as soon as Liuli entered the viewing room, she found that she was still late. In the huge viewing room, the attendance rate has reached 80%. And the good position has long been snatched up. Liuli and Shaohong glanced at each other, and hurriedly found two adjacent seats to sit down. As soon as they sat down, they heard their names being called in front of them. Liuli stood up and followed the prestige, it was Wu Zheng and them. Wu Zheng waved his hand at Liuli and shouted, "Come here, I have a seat for you." ”

Liuli looked at it, and it was really a good seat. Hurriedly pulled Liu Shaohong over happily. After they sat down, Liuli asked the question in her heart: "Wu Zheng, I remember that your mecha operation is also among the best in our overtime. Why did you choose a mech repair competition? ”

Wu Zheng didn't expect Liuli to go straight to the point as soon as she came up. He didn't want to hide it, he always felt that Ruri's mind was more mature than him. So he is also willing to talk to Liuli about the struggle in his heart. Wu Zheng thought for a while, as if thinking about how to organize the language, and then he slowly spoke: "Actually, I've been hesitating. You know, I have a high aptitude for mechanical maintenance and programming. In fact, these two things combined, I can develop in the direction of a mecha builder. But I also have some talent for mecha operation. As a man, he is also a reservist. Fighting on the front line and fighting the enemy has been my wish since I was a child. Now not only myself, but also my family are struggling. From a development point of view, as a mecha builder, my achievements in the future will be even higher. Although I have some talent in mech operation, it is the end of the day that I can finally reach the S-rank mechmaster. If I choose to become a mecha builder, I have a good chance that I will be able to stand at the top of this field. ”

After listening to Wu Zheng's words, Liuli also understood what he was struggling with. This is the collision of reality and ideals. And Ruri couldn't give him any advice. Liuli thought for a while and said, "The reason why you participated in the mecha maintenance competition is to further confirm whether you have any other feelings for the mecha besides manipulating it to kill enemies, right?" ”

Wu Zheng nodded: "Yes, but Liuli, if you were in my situation, what would you do?" ”

Ruri shook her head: "To be honest, I don't know. From the moment I was born, I was destined to have only one path to follow. With no choice, I can only walk on this path. The farther I went down this path, the more I fell in love with this profession. I don't have the same troubles as you, I just went from being forced to go to this road, to liking this road, and volunteering to go further and further on this road. Sometimes it's good to have multiple choices, but sometimes it's not always good. The key to how to choose is your heart. As the old saying goes: I can do what I want with the fish, and I can do what I want with the bear's paw. You can't have both, and you can't have both. But in my opinion, choosing one's own direction does not necessarily depend on how big the benefits are. In the end, it depends on whether you are willing to take that path. Anyway, there is still a year to graduate, you can think slowly. No matter what, just follow your heart in everything. ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "To be honest, every time I see you with a baby face and say those great truths of life, I can't help but laugh." You know, that looks too incongruous. ”

Liuli glanced at him and said, "Don't you know what it means to be precocious?" Don't look at me as an eight or nine-year-old girl now, and I'm already an old aunt in my thirties. ”

The teammates from the same school who listened to them couldn't help but burst out laughing. Yang Qingfeng (wood) said with a smile: "People are only thirty years old, and they have only been adults for a long time, and you call the old aunt." Don't let anyone else know. Otherwise, women over the age of 30 will have to settle accounts with you. Only then did Liuli remember that human beings in this era generally lived a long life. Thirty years old is really too young.

A group of people sat together, talking and laughing, waiting for the game to start. At this time, someone said how he felt when he watched the finals of the Commander game yesterday. Liuli listened to it with relish. After all, the bystanders are clear, although these people are not professional commanders, sometimes what they say can give hints to Liuli in unexpected ways.

The teammates chattered about their opinions, and Ruri asked questions from time to time. At this time, Liuli suddenly felt that a strong gaze fell on her body. Although this gaze does not contain malice. But with an extremely strong sense of prying eyes. Liuli turned her head in an instant and looked in the direction of her gaze. But she saw a girl she didn't know, wearing the uniform of the White-tailed Star Intermediate Military Academy, staring at her with stunned eyes. The girl's eyes seemed to disappear from her eyes as they met Ruri's gaze. Then she shook her head as if she had come to her senses. When he found that Ruri was looking at her, he looked back at Ruri with curiosity and doubt.

There was a burst of alarm bells in Liuli's heart. This is clearly a phenomenon of being controlled by others. Ruri can't care about watching the game anymore. She whispered a few words to Wu Zheng and asked him to take a good look at these teammates, and then Liuli quickly walked out of the viewing room and went straight to the conference room of the organizing committee.
