Wang Zheng smiled. "There's nothing I can't say."
"I heard that Her Highness Aina really likes you?" Dong Er asked the most curious question in her heart. After all, she had not seen it with her own eyes. Sometimes, she even felt that no man in this world was worthy of Princess Aina.
Wang Zheng started. After a moment of silence, he smiled. "Actually, I'm secretly in love with her. I didn't expect to bring her so much trouble."
Seeing Wang Zheng smile, for some reason, Huiyin's heart tightened, and her eyes reddened. She knew best that the two of them liked each other, and not just secretly in love.
"Tsk tsk, this man isn't bad. He's responsible!" Ouyang Ruoliu was a little surprised as well. If it were any other man, he would probably flaunt it. Men were vain, and would definitely not lower their heads in such matters.
Dong Er was a little surprised as well, but still very happy. She did not mind that Wang Zheng had a girlfriend before. It would be strange not to have one at this age. His ex-girlfriend had been Princess Aina, and that was something to be proud of.
"I think we can be friends," Dong Er said. This guy was not annoying.
Wang Zheng smiled. He could feel that such a girl was a flower in a greenhouse. She was smart, and not bad at heart. But in truth, she did not fit in with him. His future path was filled with challenges and danger. It was a thorny road. Even if she wanted to be his friend, she would have to be like Ai Xiaolu. Unprepared, she would be hurt.
"I'm here this time to ask for your help. Actually, it's also an opportunity," Wang Zheng said.
"Oh, tell me, tell me."
"I know that HU Company is a famous shipping group. My friend's KO Group has a route that needs a professional partner."
Dong Er was stunned. After a moment … this guy had asked her out just for this?
The three next door were also stunned. Was this guy dumb? His EQ was appallingly low. At such a time, the girl had already expressed her feelings. Saying that they could be friends meant that she had passed the first hurdle. Yet he had suddenly come up with such a depressing topic. That was …
"You're talking about the route from Tita to Maklou." Dong Er was not too surprised.
"You know about it?" Wang Zheng was a little surprised.
Dong Er was speechless as well. Of course she knew. Firstly, she was no idiot. She had received the highest level of elite education, and her family's domain was even more professional. Besides, it was related to Wang Zheng. How could she not know? Except, what did Wang Zheng mean by bringing it up at this time?
Suddenly, Dong Er understood. Wang Zheng's words at this time meant that he was fixated on the concept of "friends," and did not want to go any further.
In other words, it was a refusal to develop.
Smart people did not have to be so direct. At the same time, he could give Dong Er an excuse to reject him. Dong Er understood, but she was indignant!
Perhaps she couldn't compare to Her Highness Anna, but what about the others?
Other than Her Highness Aina, she really didn't respect anyone else!
The three kids next door were also waiting for Dong Er to explode. If it had been Ouyang Ruoliu, she would have jumped up and given her a beating.
Just as everyone was anticipating Dong Er's move, Dong Er smiled slightly. "You've given me a tough question. How about this? If your Saruman Snake battle team can enter the top eight, I'll give it a try. If we enter the top four, I'll go back on my word with my mother."
"And if I win?" Wang Zheng asked. Ai Xiaolu had already said that HU was the most suitable at the moment, especially in the basic construction phase of the route. Such a group was undoubtedly a perfect match.
"Win?" Dong Er was stunned. This person really looked down on the heroes of the world. This was the Aslan Empire!
"If you win, then this will definitely happen!" Dong Er said.
Wang Zheng nodded. "Deal!"
Compared to Dong Er's cute girl-next-door attitude, he preferred her more serious attitude.
"Right, who's the person in charge of KO Group? I need to understand the situation first," Dong Er suddenly asked.
"Yan Xiaosu, do you want me to give you my contact details?"
"No need. That's not a problem for me." Dong Er smiled slightly. This name sounded like a man's. That was good.
After the formal announcement, Wang Zheng found an excuse to leave. What could be better than SIG?
Once Wang Zheng left, the other three girls walked out.
"Dong Er, what's going on? If I were you, I'd give him a beating first. So vulgar!" Ouyang Ruoliu said indignantly. "He actually dares to talk about winning. So arrogant. Where does his confidence come from?"
"Our Dong Er is tempted." Qian Xuedie said coldly.
"No way, Dong Er. I thought you didn't like this type?" Huiyin asked.
"Tastes change. Besides, my family is forcing me. Instead of meeting an unreliable person, it's better to use him as a shield. At least I can live a happy life for a while."
Dong Er smiled. She wanted to go back and get to know him better.
The preliminaries went on for seven days, and finally 128 teams were selected. At this point, the live broadcast to the outside world was off.
The preliminaries were not too dangerous. Even if one was injured, it would be a minor injury. But the real military competition was at the back, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a life-and-death battle. This was not suitable for a wide broadcast.
And when it came to the main competition, the military bigwigs of various countries had also appeared. It was just a show at the start, and these old foxes knew better. They were not happy with Aslan's methods, but they could not say anything. After all, there was no free lunch in this world.
The official contest had begun.
It was still the same venue, but this time, there were only 128 captains left.
Lieutenant General Akerlof looked at the remaining 120 warriors. The atmosphere was clearly very different from the last time. There was less chatter, and the venue did not seem like a market.
"I think you all know that the next round will be the qualifiers. There will be a competition between captains and members. If the captain is eliminated, the team will be eliminated. If there are less than four members, they will be eliminated as well." Akerlof said mildly. The venue was still silent. "You are all Ability X users. I know that some have even reached the Earth-rank, so your first test will be Ability X."
The 128 people were quickly divided into four groups. There was no such thing as rank, just a simple grouping.
Outside the venue, the maglev transport aircraft was ready. Everyone moved very quickly. From start to finish, not a single word was spoken. The official battle had begun. Later on, it was about brains and hands. Mouths were useless, but perhaps teeth could be used as weapons.
The 32 people in the transport aircraft were also silent. No one knew what was waiting for them, and they did not know where to go. As for the situation of their own team members, they could not care less.
When they disembarked from the transport aircraft, everyone was hooded. When Wang Zheng took off his hood, he found himself in a sealed room. It felt like a laboratory.
"Sit up." The soldier beside him was expressionless.
Wang Zheng sat on a chair. The moment he sat down, his hands and feet were instantly controlled.
"Next is the Ability X test. Last for 10 minutes before a stable value is tested. The 10 worst will be eliminated."
Wang Zheng nodded.
At this time, in dozens of rooms, the other captains were also participating in the test with Wang Zheng.
This was Aslan's military experimental base. The leaders of various countries and some important military personnel were all here.
Jiang Feng was among them. Aslan Royal College's dean, Lin Hong, was explaining to everyone. "This is the latest device we have developed to explore the power of the human brain. It will be used in the test this time. In about five minutes, the user's limit will be reached, and then the endurance value will be fixed. Those who can last for five minutes without too much fluctuation will have a basic Ability X."
Perhaps there were many specific reflections of Ability X, but ultimately it was determined by the level. For example, Time Stop could only be used on people of similar level, or lower. The effect would be greatly reduced against the strong, so Lin Hong used these three major values to reflect the strength of an Ability X.
"Dean Lin, what is the internal reaction of the user? Is it a fixed illusion mode, or a subconscious mode?"
"Usually, we use a fixed environment mode, starting from the basics to strengthen the mental stability of the warriors. However, this time, we use a subconscious mode. After all, the participants this time are the elites among the elites of each country. The other members will use a fixed mode."
Lin Hong laughed.
(The first update has been sent, and there are still two more. That's it, continue fighting!!!)
