Chapter 9: Mother, the Sword and Shield of Mankind

After having dinner with Zhao Siya in the cafeteria, Lin Xiao returned to the dormitory.

Roommate Luo Tao was not there, so it was estimated that he went directly to the weapon elective classroom.

Lin Xiao also had a weapons elective class in the evening, but he had to come back and make a video call.

Bell bell bell ~

In a brisk ringing of the bell, the video communication was soon connected.

"Mom......"

On the screen is a woman in her forties.

Her hair was simply tied up, her once beautiful appearance had climbed a little tail line after the years, and her eyes revealed some intellectuality and vicissitudes.

Lin Xiao's mother, Lin Qingrong, is an ordinary primary school Chinese teacher.

"Why did you call back again? They all said that they were not allowed to withdraw from school! ”

Before Lin Xiao could speak, his mother on the other side of the screen had already made a face and scolded him harshly.

"How good is Junwu University! National key subsidy, tuition is free, food and accommodation are included! ”

"What's the use of you dropping out now? How much more money can you make!?

It's better to learn more in there! There is no debt at home, so why do you need to earn money? ”

"Stop, stop! I'm not going to say anything about dropping out......"

With a wry smile on his face, Lin Xiao hurriedly interrupted his mother's angry combo.

Some time ago, Lin Xiao had the idea of dropping out of school, and discussed it with his mother several times, but she scolded her for breaking his head.

At that time, it was mainly Lin Xiao who was discouraged by himself.

Lin Xiao's family is a single-parent family, and his mother's teacher salary is stable.

But I have to pay rent and bear my sister's tuition and living expenses, and my life is always tight.

So he had the idea of dropping out of school to earn money at that time.

With his physical condition at the time, it is estimated that he will not be able to do a formal job, but it is no problem to work part-time as a tutor.

Military universities are very popular, not only have special state subsidies, but also can enter the army after graduation.

After the Blue Star Cataclysm, many of the once human settlements fell under the ravages of alien beasts.

The five-nation alliance has also divided the world's military security system with a "sword and shield".

Among them, the army that defends the existing territory of mankind is the "shield", and the main responsibility is -

Prevent alien beasts from invading the existing inhabited cities of humans.

And the Hunters' Association is the "sword" of mankind, and its duty is-

Hunt strange beasts and take the initiative to attack!

Hunt, kill, and banish the beasts that have invaded human towns to reclaim the lost land.

Because hunters need to invade the gathering place of alien beasts for hunting, the danger is quite high.

Because of this, the admission requirements for alien beast hunters are very harsh and exaggerated.

It is estimated that less than one-fifth of the fresh graduates of Junwu University can meet the requirements.

In contrast, the army requirements are relatively simple.

As long as you successfully graduate from the military university, or pass the military social recruitment assessment, you can be admitted to the military.

Eat directly at the public meal, and the treatment is quite superior.

Even family members receive additional protection from the state.

And it is also relatively safe, and after retiring, you can go to a military school as a teacher.

By the way, the military and the Hunters' Guild are not two separate organizations.

Some powerful warriors will occasionally work part-time as beast hunters.

There are some ranks in the army, and even require warriors to have a rank certificate for the Beast Hunter.

After the beast hunter retires, he can also be directly transferred to the army as an officer.

It is also because of this that military universities around the world have become a sweet spot in the hearts of parents.

And even if the strength is insufficient, you can't graduate, you can't enter the army.

But you can also be a bodyguard for those bosses.

The students of Junwu University are all fierce people in the eyes of ordinary people, and their salaries are not low.

The only difficulty is the admission conditions, which are too demanding for students' physical fitness.

Luzhou City has a population of several million, and only four or five hundred new students are admitted to Junwu University every year.

Therefore, many parents will take precautions and ask students from Junwu University to tutor their children.

The pay is high, with at least 800 or more in a class.

In the past, Lin Xiao couldn't catch up with the progress of the school.

If you don't faint on your days off, you have to take the time to exercise, and you can't go out to earn money part-time.

So later he was disheartened and thought that he would not be able to finish his studies, so Lin Xiao came up with the idea of dropping out.

After dropping out of school, he can take advantage of his sober time to work part-time and make his family's life more comfortable.

It's just that this matter was strongly opposed by his mother, and he even ignored him for several days.

"Mom, I'm not trying to mention dropping out."

Hearing that Lin Xiao didn't plan to say that, Lin Qingrong's face softened slightly.

"Then why are you calling back?"

"Can't it be that my son misses you!?"

Lin Xiao was happy and teased at the camera.

"What's there to think, you train so hard, rest more if you can!"

Lin Qingrong waved her hand, looking disgusted, but the corners of her mouth still involuntarily curled a little.

"Is Sansa living in school now?"

"Her school is more than 20 kilometers away from home, and it is too troublesome to go back and forth, so I let her live in the dormitory."

Shanshan is Lin Xiao's younger sister, she just entered high school this year, and her grades are not bad.

"So you're not bored at home alone? Do you need my son and I go back to see you? ”

"You are arguing to death at home all day long, and now I rarely have leisure."

Lin Qingrong rubbed her ears exaggeratedly and smiled.

"And she's coming back every weekend, so don't worry about it, don't leave me behind!"

Lin Xiao's mother knew that the military school was very hard, so she never let her son go back to see her.

Even if the distance between the two is less than a hundred kilometers.

She was also very worried that Lin Xiao would pass out on the road......

The military school has a professional medical institution, and if Lin Xiao has a headache, he can get help here as soon as possible.

Although his mother didn't say these things directly, Lin Xiao was still very clear in his heart.

"Mom...... My headache is gone. ”

Lin Qingrong was stunned, and then hurriedly took the mobile phone and approached her ear.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Youβ€”What did you just say!? ”

Lin Xiao laughed heartily and repeated what he had just said loudly.

"I saidβ€”I'm getting better of my headache now! I won't pass out again! ”

"Have you checked again!? If you want money, I'll call you here......"

Lin Qingrong's tone was a little hurried, surprised, and a little afraid of disappointment.

"You forgot? The hospital can't check it out. ”

Looking at his mother's anxious expression, Lin Xiao patiently recounted the pre-made statement.

"I used to have headaches and my head was heavy every day, but now these problems are gone."

Lin Xiao raised his arm and compared his biceps.

"The doctor at the school said that it may be because my power refining speed was too fast in the past, and the cells couldn't digest it, so it pressed the brain."

Lin Xiao had explained to his mother what power was before.

"Now that I've been trained and my physical fitness has kept up, this symptom has been solved!"

This stuff is nonsense.

But in order to reassure the mother sooner, it is sometimes a good idea to tell a lie.

She always believed the doctor's words.

And his headache is indeed better, and he should not faint in the future.

Sure enough, after listening to Lin Xiao's words, Lin Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole person looked much more relaxed.

"That's good, that's good......"

"So do you want me to go back and see you~!"

As soon as Lin Xiao's witty words were finished, he saw his mother have a straight face again.

"You train well! I haven't kept up in the past two years and make up for it quickly, don't finish my business by then, you know? ”

Lin Xiao nodded kindly.

"Study hard now, and then I can be admitted to the army......"

"Don't worry, maybe your son can still be admitted to the hunter!"

"Are you still thinking about the hunter?"

Lin Qingrong looked helpless about him, stretched out her finger and pointed at the camera, as if she was poking Lin Xiao's head.

"You've been clamoring to be a hunter since you were a kid......

Now that I can't keep up with the training, do you still think you can get into the hunter? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Besides, hunters are very dangerous, and Mom doesn't want you to do such a dangerous job. ”

"Mom, don't worry......"

Regarding his mother's worries, Lin Xiao showed a gentle and confident smile.

"As long as I become strong enough, ten or a hundred times stronger than the alien beast,

The hunter's job is no longer dangerous. ”

"Your son will be a hunter, and he will be the strongest hunter in the world......"
