    Chapter 74 Steady Loyal Dog x Double-Souled Genius 10

    Early December.

    The three strongest specializations’ internal selection competitions of the Four Great Military Academies came to a successful conclusion. Five hundred selected freshmen were gathered together and divided into one hundred teams based on each student’s strength for training.

    Each team consisted of one commander, one mecha engineer, and three mecha infantry soldiers.

    This was also the personnel allocation for the main team of the Four Great Military Academies.

    The members of the Josser Military Academy’s main team were all S-rank. The commander was Wei Mingyuan from a military family, the mecha engineer was Noah, who had just been promoted to S-rank [i.e., Gu Changli], and the mecha infantry soldiers were Yu Jinzhou, Qin Su, and Xie Yizhi.

    Among them, the three mecha infantry soldiers were familiar with each other, as they were classmates who saw each other in class every day.

    Qin Su and Noah were good friends, Wei Mingyuan and Xie Yizhi were childhood friends, and Yu Jinzhou and Noah’s real identity, Zhou Qingning, were cousins.

    Yu Jinzhou’s mother was Zhou Qingning’s aunt.

    However, Gu Changli had no impression of Yu Jinzhou when he saw him. The other party should be in Zhou Qingning’s memory, not in Noah’s life.

    No impression = Unrecognized Person A.

    Since he was Person A, he didn’t want to acknowledge him.

    After all, he hadn’t even acknowledged his old father, Zhou Xiuran. He wouldn’t communicate much with Zhou Qingning’s relatives and friends until that memory was completely restored.

    Yu Jinzhou recognized his former cousin who appeared in front of him with a different identity, but he had been warned by his parents not to talk nonsense.

    Mainly, he felt that his cousin hadn’t remembered him yet. If he went up to acknowledge him, he might cause trouble and disrupt the Second Prince’s plan.

    Although he didn’t know how the Second Prince sent his cousin to study at Josser Military Academy, he felt that his cousin was much better now than when he was first rescued. Perhaps this was the Second Prince’s plan!

    After the main team of five introduced themselves, they were taken by the teachers to the training ground to begin special training.

    The five of them didn’t have the energy to think wildly anymore.

    The division of labor for the main team of five was the same as the team division of labor.

    The mecha infantry soldiers were responsible for martial force output, the commander was responsible for overall command and combat, and the mecha engineer was responsible for repairing damaged mechas in the team.

    Of course, before the competition started, the main team’s mecha engineer had to independently design the mechas for their teammates.

    This was also one of the tests for the mecha engineers in the competition.

    Gu Changli was busy with physical training, designing mechas based on the training data of the four teammates, and familiarizing himself with the competition venues of the Four Great Military Academies.

    Truly busy like a spinning top, multitasking!

    As they spent more and more time together, everyone gained an understanding of the personalities of the other four teammates, and their tacit understanding was stronger than before.

    Commander Wei Mingyuan was deep-minded and took things one step at a time.

    Mecha engineer Noah [i.e., Gu Changli] seemed cute and simple, but was actually steady, accurate, and ruthless. Moreover, he was stable, like a calm and composed capybara. Nothing could make him change his expression.

    The three mecha infantry soldiers were all battle maniacs, each with explosive combat power. Among them, Qin Su was calm and didn’t talk much. Xie Yizhi looked refined but had a violent temper, always thinking about fighting.

    Yu Jinzhou was purely a smiling tiger. The brighter he smiled, the more brutal he was.

    Overall, Qin Su was the most peaceful of the three mecha infantry soldiers.

    That was only if Gu Changli was okay. Otherwise, he would be a mad dog that no one could hold back.

    Xie Yizhi and Yu Jinzhou, who had known for a long time that Qin Su ran to the mecha engineer department every day, accepted it well, but Wei Mingyuan felt that the other party had ulterior motives.

    What good friends? Which friend was like this!

    He and Xie Yizhi were still childhood friends! But he didn’t dote on others like Qin Su!

    Qin Su clearly coveted the other person’s body!

    Wei Mingyuan sighed longingly as he looked at the other two clueless and careless mecha infantry soldiers. They didn’t see Qin Su’s bad intentions towards Noah.

    Everyone was drunk and he was the only one awake, loneliness was like snow!

    Gu Changli, who was designing the mecha, secretly added the protective runes he had recently researched to it, and invisibly stuck the blessing runes on the weapons.

    The mecha’s defense and attack attributes were instantly maxed out.

    In addition, he had tested the bad luck runes and Heavenly Lightning runes on the First Prince and Third Princess several times, and finally stopped researching new runes after ensuring that the effect was satisfactory.

    He also made a batch of healing runes for external injuries and fire rain runes for summoning flames.

    Everything was ready, waiting for the competition to begin.

    Fang Weixia, who didn’t participate in the competition, was immersed in the knowledge of mecha materials science and couldn’t extricate herself. She held books and various materials every day.

    She didn’t want to fight and kill, how boring!

    *

    Zhou Xiuran, who learned that his precious son was participating in the Thaddeus Competition, was both proud and anxious.

    “Xia Xuyan, it would be good if he died.”

    The good Thaddeus Competition had been tainted by Xia Xuyan, the crazy nephew.

    The evil son born by Zhou Moran went to the Alexston Military Academy on Molan Star and participated in this year’s Thaddeus Competition as the S-rank commander of the main team.

    That little bastard with a wicked mind was more ruthless than his mother, whose heart was like a durian and every thorn was occupied.

    “I have to think of a way, strike first.”

    “That’s right, and Xia Xuyan’s newly-dating girlfriend, Song Jinhua, that dead girl who cursed my cub to die early is also a bad-hearted person. I might as well take this opportunity to kill her cleanly!”

    Zhou Xiuran temporarily put aside his plan to target the bald-headed big brother and the sea king third sister, and focused on cleaning up his great-nephew and his girlfriend far away on Molan Star.

    xiu: [Wen Qi, get rid of Xia Xuyan and Song Jinhua. This matter is only allowed to succeed, not fail!]

    Wen Qi: [Master, did these two little cubs offend you?]

    xiu: [They threatened my son’s safety, so I must eradicate them as soon as possible!]

    xiu: [If they don’t die, my cub will be in danger.]

    Wen Qi: [This old lady will go and kill them to prevent them from hurting the little prince!!]

    xiu: […] Do the job beautifully.

    Wen Qi: [Don’t worry about my work! Talk to you later!]

    Wen Qi, who happened to be staying on Molan Star, moved her wrists and smiled as she looked in the direction of Xia Xuyan and Song Jinhua.

    “Anyone who threatens the little prince must die!”

    “What’s more, this matter was personally ordered by my crazy master. You can only blame yourselves for being blind and offending my crazy master.”

    The cat system, which was monitoring the male and female protagonists’ movements, noticed Wen Qi’s assassination attempt and hurriedly told the beautiful host about it.

    [Host, Zhou Xiuran sent someone to kill the protagonist.]

    Gu Changli, who was immersed in drawing talismans, suddenly raised his head, his head buzzing. “Isn’t he busy fighting the First Prince and Third Princess? Why is he thinking about assassinating Xia Xuyan and Song Jinhua again?”

    “Wait, he’s trying to protect me.”

    He raised his hand and rubbed his aching temples, quickly sorting out the reason for Zhou Xiuran’s actions.

    “He doesn’t want the male and female protagonists to participate in the competition.”

    He would participate in the Thaddeus Competition, and Xia Xuyan and Song Jinhua would also participate.

    At that time, Xia Xuyan would definitely recognize his identity, and then he would deliberately target him, and even take the opportunity of the competition to kill him completely.

    Zhou Xiuran wanted to clear the harm for him in advance.

    System 143 asked: [Are you going to use Zhou Xiuran’s hand to completely kill the male and female protagonists?]

    Gu Changli slowly put down the cinnabar brush for drawing talismans and picked up the soul-devouring talisman he had just drawn.

    “If you didn’t say so, I would have almost forgotten about them.”

    He had been busy cleaning up Zhou Yiran and Zhou Moran, who had poisoned the original body twice, and he had indeed forgotten the male and female protagonists who finally killed Zhou Xiuran.

    This pair of neurotic protagonists who ravaged the Hua’an Empire in the early stage and the entire interstellar world in the later stage were wolfish figures who destroyed this world.

    At any rate, he had promised the system to maintain the safety of the small world as a reward for the Quick Transmigration Bureau providing secret methods to help him strengthen Jinni’s damaged soul.

    Now he had to do something to show his appreciation.

    He helped this world kill the wolfish male and female protagonists who played until the world was destroyed, which could be considered fulfilling his promise.

    “Xia Xuyan, Song Jinhua…”

    “Meeting me in this life is your bad luck!”

    Two soul-devouring talismans emitted an evil spiritual light and disappeared in front of Gu Changli in a short while, rushing towards the male and female protagonists far away on Molan Star with clear targets.

    “Whoosh——”

    System 143 watched helplessly as its host used the soul-devouring talisman on the male and female protagonists, devouring their souls one step ahead of Wen Qi.

    [Can their souls be resurrected if they are gone?]

    Don’t let it be the same situation as Noah and Lin Qingning, where they have to be killed once and then again.

    Gu Changli said indifferently: “For a period of forty-nine days, the soul-devouring talisman will crush Xia Xuyan and Song Jinhua’s souls until they can’t even be pieced together.”

    He looked at the talisman on the table with some disgust and glanced at the picture played by the system again.

    “The two of them can’t die temporarily.”

    “After all, the power that my current body can bear is too weak, and the talismans I draw can’t even exert one-tenth of their power.”

    He stroked the cat system, “Next time, find me a higher-level world.”

    System 143 nodded blankly, [Okay.]

    It looked at the picture being played again, looking at Wen Qi who was about to assassinate with some worry.

    [Host, what about the killer arranged by Zhou Xiuran?]

    Gu Changli took out a teleportation talisman and sent Wen Qi, who was preparing to assassinate, to the other party’s home.

    “Go home and stay there, we don’t need her for the time being.”

    “Moreover, the male and female protagonists still have the protagonist’s aura. No one but me can kill them. These two are not abusive novel protagonists like Liang Jue.”

    Wen Qi, carrying a big sniper rifle, had a question mark on her face, “???”

    Wasn’t it? What was going on? How did she suddenly return to her old nest?!

    She tried a few more times, but still couldn’t get out of the house.

    “Damn! This old lady is haunted! No, I have to tell the crazy master to send someone again!”

    Zhou Xiuran was silent for a long time after learning about this, and finally let Wen Qi stop. He did not continue to arrange killers to go to Molan Star to assassinate.

    Because he felt that this operation was a bit familiar.

    Weren’t the unlucky encounters of the bald-headed big brother and the sea king third sister in the past few months very similar to Wen Qi?

    In order to prevent Wen Qi from dying, let her stop first.

    He would take another look at the situation of Xia Xuyan and Song Jinhua, and then re-formulate the assassination plan.
