After dinner, Wu Jin hurried back to the student dormitory before nightfall
A pot of replenishing soup was placed there in the middle of Zoeโs bedroom. The four people from White Moonlight gathered together and surrounded the stove as they started to discuss their plans for the upcoming elimination match.
ย
โThe womenโs league.โ Zoe projected the data theyโd been given by the companyโs research team, โAs the saying goes, when men and women are well matched, the work is no longer tiring. In the next elimination match, the initial entry teams are likely to be paired together with the womenโs league.โ
Zoe tapped the Versailles invitation letter from the program team that was lying there on the table, then pointed to the blank column where the contestant names should be, โWe need to select partners before the start of the competition.โ
ย
Wu Jin and Wen Lin both nodded. Caesar took advantage of Zoeโs inattention to stuff a piece of tripe into his mouth.
Zoe: โAfter checking the data, there are 170 members in the womenโs survival show and 180 people in the Crosson Show. That means that there are at least 10 players who wonโt even be able to touch a female traineeโs hands.โ
ย
Caesar stole another piece of fat intestine.
Zoe: โAccording to the principle of โladies firstโ, it should be the Hyacinths who pick us, not the other way around. Based on the companyโs analysis of the dataโโโ
ย
The screen changed with a swish, and Wu Jin stared at it in a daze.
A dense profile picture connection chart took up most of the screen, and the four people from White Moonlight as well as the big boss, Wei Yan, and Thin Fire were all on the list.
ย
โTeam probability map.โ Zoe explained. โThe primary analysis is based on the popularity of the contestants, the partner preferences listed in the female traineesโ entertainment profiles, and their faces. Needless to say, Little Witch just needs to wait to be picked. Caesarโโโ
Zoe frowned. โCaesar.โ
ย
Caesar, whoโd just been in the middle of snatching up another piece of intestine, was caught in the act. He was so scared that he immediately stuffed the food into Wu Jinโs mouth.
Wu Jin choked, โโโAh, wuwuwu!โ
ย
Zoe: โThere are 24 female players who like โlively and simple little wolfhoundโ types. From today on, you will be packaging yourself in this direction.โ
Caesar: โWhat are you talking about??โ
โYou donโt have to post blog posts. The account is no longer in your hands in any case.โ Zoe glanced gently towards his own support, โAh Lin will continue to go the gentle route.โ Then, he snapped his fingers, โEnough. Now, letโs take a look at our opponentsโโโ
โFirst, Wei Shi.โ
ย
Wu Jin almost started hiccuping.
Zoe: โContestant Wei picked up a lot of fans during the previous competition. Heโs now called โMy Kingโ and โWind Godโ among the female fansโโit was because of those two Pterosaurs. Contestant Wei even caught and took our Little Witch up to the skies and eliminated him during the previous match!โ
Wu Jin nodded along.
Zoe warned, โIf your partner ends up being interested in Contestant Wei during the competition, please change partners immediately to avoid being cheated on.โ
ย
Wu Jin: โ……โ
Zoe: โNext, Wei Yan.โ He looked at the information that had been sent over. โThe Hyacinth Show has 12 female trainees from the Empire, and most of them are members of Wei Yanโs fan support group.โ
Wen Lin mouthed at Wu Jin: Exporting domestic sales. Taking the Federationโs survival show players, with Thin Water as an example, when he went to the Empire, he wasย known as โStarโ Thin. There were many such other โgildedโ Empire trainees in the Hyacinth Show.
ย
Zoe pointed the cursor at Wei Yan, โIn the Empire, genetically modified humans, or human-shaped weapons are their national idols.โ
โAlright, next one. Thin Fire.โ
……
ย
After the meal ended, Wu Jin went back to his bedroom and rolled around on the bed.

There was rain outside the window. The champagne rose was half withered, yet Wu Jin was still carefully looking after it.

ย
Wu Jin glanced at the terminal again, but there was no news from the big boss, so he rolled himself up in the quilt and fell asleep.
In his dream, he was rolled up in the warm quilts in the R-Code Base. Wu Jinโs quilt was so hot that he really wanted to kick the big boss and have him change the bedding in the middle of the nightโโ
Wu Jin abruptly woke up in the rain.
ย
Darkness swept in like the tide, and something in his memory seemed to suddenly be torn open by the darkness. The grey brown iron door overlayed his vision, and he was unclear if it was a figure or a ghost. Wu Jin covered his head and fumbled to turn on the lightโโ
The light switched on.
He stepped out of bed and opened the door to the balcony slightly before letting out a sigh of relief and rolling back into bed to continue sleeping.
ย
Wu Jin woke up very early the next day, yet his spirit felt refreshed.
The big boss would only wake up one day later, so Researcher Song gave him another prescription slip with โseparation therapyโ. Wu Jin puffed up his small, round face to argue over this message, since separation therapy seemed to be of no use, but ultimately didnโt reject the prescription and simultaneously harvested the little nursesโ love and pity.
ย
โHe just wants to see Lord Wei, ahhhh!โ
โWhat kind of love is there in this world, I want to cry…โ
ย
Researcher Song was confused by all this noise, โYou guys should go and ask Doctor Zhou. Donโt ask meโโwait a minute, whatโs that noise outside?โ
A few seconds later, Researcher Song suddenly stood up and said, โGo outside, get the equipment. Brother Wei might be waking up!โ
ย
At the Floating City training base, Wu Jin could only go out and continue his training. The half-burned love candles placed downstairs yesterday had toppled over due to the rainstorm last night.
โ……โ Wu Jin agreed with Caesar on this; it did seem a little silly. However, he soon met with a student who was holding another batch of candles and had come to fix up the mess.
ย
Wu Jin discovered that every candle was a luxury waterproof candle with indoor fragrances. Not only had this rich person bought 99 candles all at once, they were even putting indoor candles outside… Wu Jin suddenly paused and stilled.
The back figure of this rich person seemed very familiar.
This rich person strode with big steps, and his head was held high. He seemed to be around 20ย years old…
ย
Wu Jin: โMing Yao?โ
Ming Yao turned back with a swish, and his chin dropped down in surprise, โLittle-little-little-little Witch??!!!โ
ย
Ten minutes later, Wu Jin still hadnโt had time to explain that logically, Little Witch wasnโt really that โlittle little littleโ, but Ming Yao had already dragged him back into his dorm, chattering on indignantly about the entire series of events from beginning to end.
โItโs our captainโs birthday todayโโโ
โWhat? You donโt even know when our captainโs birthday is? Little Witch, thatโs not right. Donโt you follow Azure Edgeโs upcoming stars data sheets? Thereโs a whole section of advertising for our team captainโs birthday! Forget it, Iโm telling you it now, and youโre not allowed to forget it next timeโโwhat, youโre asking me when my birthday is? Thatโs not important!โ
ย
Wu Jin: โ… Iโll… remember it now… stop shaking me….โ
Ming Yao stopped shaking Wu Jin and slapped the table, โAnd then, on the captainโs birthday today, he didnโt even receive a phone call from his girlfriend!โ After slapping the table, Ming Yao began to stomp around in angry circles, โEven I, an ordinary member of the team, know to show love to the team captain for his birthday, but she didnโt even say anything! Not only that, sheโs even going out with her male friends on a beach holiday! The kind of beach with quark-level, artificial white sand!โ
ย
Wu Jin: โWhy are you so clear on this…โ
Ming Yao was furious, โThatโs not the point. Am I not allowed to follow her alt Star Blog account? Is it not fine for me to have picked out this tidbit from 200 lottery forwarded messages? The question is, what should my captain do?!โ
ย
Wu Jin comforted him, โOf course heโll choose to forgive her…โ
Ming Yao narrowed his eyes, โHm?โ
โ!!!โ Wu Jin hurriedly changed his tone, โBreak up, next question!โ
ย
Ming Yao nodded, โThatโs more like it! Alright, I booked a table at a bar for the captainโs birthday tonight, and Red and Caesar are going; you should go too.โ
Wu Jin paused, โWait-wait a minute!โ With his current vision, he would be just like a little blind person if he went out at night.
Ming Yao was dissatisfied and reached out for Wu Jinโs small curls, โAre we brothers or not? You need to support your brother! Iโll mess up your curls if you donโt agree!โ
ย
โ……โ Wu Jin quickly puffed out his cheeks and dodged. His mind stilled for a brief moment. Last nightโs torrential rain, the dark night and the crack in the door were memories that poured in one after another. He tried hard not to think of the gray brown door engraved in his memory, and the psychiatristโs advice resurfaced.
It was difficult to recover from psychological trauma alone. Little Witch might as well come into contact with more people and participate in social activities.
ย
Just when Ming Yao had rolled up his sleeves and prepared to make his move, Wu Jin hurriedly shouted for him to stop, โAlright, alright, Iโll go!โ
Ming Yao harrumphed and released his sleeves. He grumbled, โPetty! Itโs clearly so nice toย touch, why wonโt you let me touch it!โ
ย
The sun drifted through the sky.
The day passed by quickly. Wu Jin hurriedly ran over to Ming Yaoโs training room while the sky was still bright as he would definitely never act alone in the dark in his current state.
Ming Yao tsked and sighed, โWhy are you being so clingy?โ
Wu Jin: …Who have I offended recently?
ย
As they neared the appointed time, Ming Yao acted more and more like an ant on a frying pan, โLetโs first head to the bar. Thereโs an early morning surprise at midnight. Little Witch, remember, we have to create an atmosphere. When we come back, Iโll pull open the curtains so that the captain can see the candles, then, weโll sing a happy birthday songโโโ
Wu Jin: โIโll remember it for you!โ
Ming Yao bounced up with a swish, โLittle Witch, Iโm so nervous!โ
ย
Wu Jin: โ……โ
Ming Yao suggested, โHow about we both go onto the survival show Star Blog and cheer for the captain?โ
ย
Wu Jin โWhat? How come youโre speaking with such a strange tone?โ
Ming Yao immediately pulled out his terminal. His screen was full of โYour little darling Zuo Botang has been tagged by the Jingyi official Star Blogโ, โYour little darling Zuo Botang has sent a Star Blog messageโ. He quickly went through his daily routine of pushing up various hot topics, upvoting #Sniper rookies, #Jingyiโs hope, #Jingyi Double-C, and other such tags before letting out a long breath, โAlright. Iโll switch to the alt accounts at night.โ
ย
While he was at it, he downvoted the Scarf CP that was currently just as popular as the Jingyi Double-C.
Wu Jin choked, โ… What does this have to do with us?!โ
ย
Ming Yao: โI grew up with the captain, so weโre childhood friends who grew up together! The Scarf CP canโt match up!โ
Wu Jin quickly argued, โBrother Wei and I… we also knew each other when we were young!โ
ย
Ming Yao spoke seriously, โWeโve been sleeping in the same bed since we were young!โ
Wu Jin argued seriously, โDo you think itโs not the same for Scarf?!โ
ย
Ming Yao smiled brilliantly, โI can eliminate myself for the sake of the captain. Iโll dedicate myself to the case, as long as he can advance!โ
Wu Jin: โI can…โ
ย
Ming Yao suddenly leapt out like an arrow released from the string, โCapโโtainโโโ
Wu Jin glanced at the helpless expression on Zuo Botangโs face in the distance and suddenly felt depressed.
He missed the big boss.
ย
Two high-end suspension cars stopped at the entrance to the base, and Ming Yao followed closely behind Zuo Botang to get on, Wu Jin glanced over and then stepped directly towards the back car with Caesar and Red.
When getting in the car, Wu Jinโs heart beat accelerated.
ย
โWhatโs the matter, Little Witch?โ Red turned to look at him.
Wu Jin shook his head repeatedly, then picked up his terminal to ask Ming Yao: Where are we going!
Ming Yao: A bar, itโs called Sharp Blue!
Wu Jin: Wait a minute, this name looks likeโโ
ย
Ming Yao: Donโt worry about it. The environment is definitely good. Itโs the most expensive bar on the street!
Wu Jin made an โohโ sound and set aside the terminal. He stared out the window.
ย
Floating City military base.
At practically the same time, a manโs long, rough fingers were tapping against the solid wood table.
โThe equipment was tampered with in the past week.โ Mao Dongqing reported, โThe surveillance camera was artificially modified from 2:00 to 4:00 AM three days ago, and a recording from last week was put in instead.โ
ย
โKeep checking.โ The man said, โSee what information in the lab has been tampered with.โ
Mao Dongqing nodded.
ย
โVerify the entry and exit records for Floating City, focusing on those with Imperial passport chips.โ
โAlso, where is he.โ
ย
Mao Dongqing made a call, โIโll ask.โ
Wei Shi pulled on his coat, โGet me two mind calming agents.โ
ย
At the door, Researcher Song looked at Wei Shi in shock, โBrother Wei, youโre still experiencing a period of emotional instability…โ
Wei Shi looked at him expressionlessly, his eyelids slightly raised and making it so that people didnโt even dare breathe. Researcher Song took a step back.
โ… Ah, okay.โ Researcher Song capitulated, โRemember to take your medicine on time.โ
ย
Wei Shi injected himself with one of the agents and left the other alone.
He glanced at Mao Dongqing.
ย
Mao Dongqing spoke up in the silence, โFound him.โ
โHeโs-in District C6โs Sharp Blue.โ
ย
Wei Shiโs eyes darkened. He picked up the car key, pushed open the door and left.
Juurensha: Yessss, once again with the double-C sniper CP!
xiin: Wei Shi’s off to pick up his little rabbit~
Jfc, Ming Yao is annoying to death, can’t he be eliminated so he wouldn’t appear anymore?? I get so frustrated whenever he opens his damn mouth ๐ค
oh thank god. I thought I was the only one annoyed by him ๐
+2 tbh, I am also a bit iffy when Zoe becomes assertive too.
Ming Yao continues to be a virtuous little fangirl and Little Witch is having lover’s blues. Question, would the boss tolerate anyone having intimate contact with Wu Jin on the next round?
Thanks for the chapter!
SJDBXR I love double-c sniper cp! (Ming Yao’s influence xD) And yasss Big Boss is going to fetch his little rabbit!
Also, isn’t this ch110.2?
Thanks for the chapter! ๐
yeah.. i messed up with the numbering again
Numbering on NU is also wrong
Blue Sharp? should we know what that is? ice but I have a bad feeling~ lolol I can’t wait for tomorrow to find out, thank you so much for the update!!
Cant wait to see overprotective wei shi drinking vinegar in the nect update๐
Thank you for the update๐
Ahhhh Big Boss returns to his domineering self!!
And pick up his little bunny!!
Thank you for the chapter~
Ming Yao, you’re cute with your love for your captain and all but we don’t need you right now! So step aside
Seriously, Sharp Blue, where have we heard that before. ๐ง
Thanks for the chapter ๐น
aaaaaaaaah, boss is gonna go pick up his slightly night blind rabbit
thank you for the chapter
Too many annoying characters… Can’t we eliminate everyone else other than Wei Shi and Wu Jin?
Btw Xiin darling, this chapter should be 110.2 ๐
Thanks for the chapter! I think Ming Yao has a cute personality personally!
When Zoe advises WJ to change partners to avoid getting cheated on, I choked-
I mean let’s be real, it’s either WS and WJ will be partners or they’ll elope together lmao their partners should be the one worrying๐
And now it seems like every convo with MY and WJ will turn into a worship battle ๐๐๐
thanks for the chapter!
lol yea that was awesome
Young Wei Shi was adorable af but I still prefer present Boss Wei Shi! That domineering predator aura! Ahhhh finally we get to see them together again soon! Thanks for the chapter! โบ
ming yao’s real cute! love his enthusiasm, hope he gets the boy
Little curls belong solely to Wei Shi !!
Thank you so much for the chapter!(เนยด>แ<)~โค
I like Ming Yao and his little fangirl self but he’s getting in the way!!! ๐ค๐ค๐ค
No offense to Zuo Botang, but if I was his girlfriend I’d dump him too. She probably saw how his junior acts and how ZBT never corrects him and she probably said, “Do the world a favor and just date him already.” ๐คฃ
Thanks for the chapter โค
Ming Yao boy enough with your captain lording!!!! If you like him just kick the girlfriend out and just sleep with him to clear the matter. No matter how much you say u rn’t gay more you seem like it. Gosh you keep repeating the same thing over and over again which is getting seriously annoying โ(ยดะด`)โ
I wonder if the mole/betrayer is Arjun or Researcher Zhou Nan? Because they know inside info, and after the ordeal, only these two are mentioned to hear about the abnormality in the excellent result produce. And these two, one is clueless about Wu Jin but Researcher Zhou Nan asked about the door trauma; Mao Dongqing tensed for a bit but oblivious Researcher Song told “the truth he believed”, so bullet is dodged. Hmm which one of the two tampered the equipment? ๐ค Is he working with Shao Yu or for revenge by disbanded R Code foundee?
aah I’m suddenly excited for their reunion! for some reason 2 days felt like a really long time for them
