Girls und War

After the car took off, Jiamei pointed to a large construction site not far from the frontline base and said, "Next year, when it's finished over there, move all your camps there. That way, you won't have to be managed by the frontline troops here."

Xia Shu looked in the direction of the fake-sleeping finger. Almost half the mountain had been scraped away to create a training ground. At the foot of the mountain lay a complex of buildings, with the outlines of dormitories and office buildings already visible.

If nothing unexpected happens, that place will be the special forces camp in the future.

Seeing this, Xia Shu smiled and said to Jiamei, "That's good. Now I don't have to be treated like a monkey every time I train."

Fake Sleep nodded, also smiling, and said, "But I think your team members are enjoying it."

"It's inconvenient anyway. It's better to have your own base."

After Xia Shu finished speaking, the two fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Jiamei said again, "I heard that you and Hua went to see Ms. Rose before?"

Xia Shu hummed, chuckled, and said, "She's a formidable character. She's more than ten times more scheming than you. I was almost persuaded to surrender by her."

Hearing this, Fake Sleep immediately revealed an exaggerated smile and said hurriedly, "I can't take credit for this. You know, that lady is the mastermind behind all of Ou Meng's conspiracies."

"So powerful?" Xia Shu was a little surprised.

"Alas, I can't explain it clearly just by talking to you." Fake Sleep said helplessly, "When you are in a higher position and have seen more things, you will naturally understand how terrifying that lady is."

Xia Shu thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the Flower District? Behind the Flower District—and the other battle zones—are there any conspirators behind the scenes like Miss Rose?"

"Hmm..." Fake Sleep thought for a moment, seemingly unsure how to judge, so he could only say, "Some do, some don't. Who knows? Perhaps only when we reach that rank can we see the full picture of the battlefield."

At this point, Fake Sleep seemed to think the topic was boring, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's talk about something interesting. Besides watching the show, what else are you planning to do in this competition?"

Xia Shu didn't quite understand what he meant by pretending to sleep, so he asked, "What for? Developing a strategy for them."

"Oh, it would be nice to have Miss Kite here for that kind of thing. I have something more interesting to do here, do you want to come?" Jiamei suddenly leaned over and said with a smile.

"Interesting? What?" Xia Shu raised his eyebrows.

"Hey, special guest, are you interested?" She said and nudged Xia Shu with her shoulder.

Xia Shu didn't quite understand what special guest Fake Sleep was talking about, but seeing that she spoke so seriously, he nodded and said, "Let's take a look first."

So, after the sleeping vehicle arrived at the lunar orbit base, she took Xia Shu to the live broadcast center of the competition radio station.

As for the contestants from the special forces, having Fafner is enough.

After all, Xia Shu is a captain, so there is no need for him to do everything himself.

847. The Special Guests Who Were Forced to Come to the Market

The situation in the studio was extremely busy, with the director constantly conducting pre-match adjustments, striving to test the live broadcast effect to the best condition.

The host of this year's competition is the Flower District, so the main stage here has the highest ratings among all channels. Most people will flock to this channel to watch the live broadcast of the competition.

If you want to test the overall performance of a program, a simulation test alone is definitely not enough. The best option is to pre-record the program directly to show the program effect directly.

So the director simply arranged a pre-match prediction program and let the host go on stage directly to test the actual program effect.

However, although it was a prediction program, there was nothing to predict, so the two hosts simply lay down on their chairs and started bragging and chatting with the audience about the competition.

Meanwhile, Xu Dongdong was busy explaining the competition to the audience about the Military Ghost Weekly. Yi Feng Miao suddenly received a document from the side and turned around and said, "Hey, stop bragging. Let's get down to business. We just analyzed the contestants, so let's make some serious predictions for the competition."

Xu Dongdong felt a little unsatisfied, so he said, "I'm having a great time playing the flute. Please don't interrupt me. Let me play it a little longer. Look, the audience wants me to continue."

Seeing this, Yifeng Miao said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "These are all old stories that no one likes to hear."

"Mao!" Xu Dongdong seemed very dissatisfied. "Brother Feng, are you afraid that I will expose your ugly deeds? If so, just tell me directly. I won't make things difficult for you!"

"Alright, alright, let's get serious." Yifeng Miao looked guilty as he opened the list in his hand and said, "Oh~ This year's lineup—is this it!"

"What's that? It's so mysterious." Xu Dongdong looked up and asked, "Is this the roster for the sniper competition?"

"Hmm..." Yifeng Miao glanced at the list and didn't seem to find what he wanted, so he squinted his eyes and looked at it again.

Seeing this, Xu Dongdong said nonchalantly, "Well, no matter how you look at it, there are only a few top finishers, and the champion has already been decided. This is boring."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Yifeng suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Dongdong.

"Well, Xia Shu is the champion, and then Haruka, Rabbit God and the others will compete for the last few places. Simon Anna and the others will be in the back row like this. Don't you think so?" Xu Dongdong spread out his hands.

"So you mean that Xia Shu must be the champion this time?"

"Is this true? If she wasn't the champion, I would eat this chair right here and now!"

"Great!" Yifeng Miao slammed the table and said to the monitor, "Everyone! Case solved! Xia Shu isn't participating in the competition because this milk poison used the law of causality to poison her!"

As he spoke, the audience on the channel saw the latest list of contestants appearing on the big screen.

Not only is Xia Shu's name missing, but even the name of the Rabbit God has disappeared.

"Ah? What is this? What's going on?" Xu Dongdong looked confused.

"Let's start!" Yifeng Miao showed the chair, and his face seemed to say, please start your performance.

"This...this...this...wait a minute, let me think this through..." Xu Dongdong rubbed his head and thought for a long time, then said with a bewildered look on his face, "I understand if Rabbit God doesn't participate, but why doesn't Xia Shu participate? She! Isn't she at her peak?"

"Maybe she has been defeated by all the heroes in the world since the last Huashan Sword Contest, and has no rivals since then. So she became disheartened and began to think about quitting the world. Alas - what a pity, what a pity." Yifeng Miao said with a look of regret on his face.

"Dugu Qiubai?" Xu Dongdong looked confused.

At this time, the director suddenly made a gesture to them and said something in their ears.

Xu Dongdong quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone. We just received the news. A very important guest has arrived at the studio for this live broadcast. It looks like she's going to personally explain the reason for her withdrawal."

As he spoke, he and Yifeng applauded together.

However, the audience in front of the screen obviously did not notice what the two said. They were still immersed in the tragic fact that Xia Shu would not participate in the competition.

The screen was filled with comments like "Give me back Xia Shu!" and "Xudong, the old thief has no conscience! I will live and die with Huaqu!", when Xia Shu was suddenly dragged by a fake sleep and rushed to the other side of the screen.

Xia Shu had a look of neither laughter nor tears on her face. It seemed that she had never expected that the man who was pretending to be asleep would actually drag her into the camera like this.

And Jiamei held her in his arms and didn't let her escape, and kept pulling her in front of the camera.

Seeing that he really couldn't run away, he was helplessly pressed down on the chair by the sleeping man.

If she had known that the special guest was this kind of person, she would never have come.

The director gestured to the scenario and whispered, "Move the camera over there."

Then he gestured to Xia Shu and the other girl, telling them that they were already filming.

So, Jiamei said calmly, "I think everyone should know me. I'm Jiamei. Xia Shu's old boss."

Seeing that Fake Sleep was gesturing to her, Xia Shu could only bite the bullet and say, "Hello everyone, I'm Xia Shu."

At this moment, the screen was filled with comments like "Ahhh, it's really Natsuki!", "Oh, I'm dead!", "So handsome! So photogenic!", "Natsuki, mom loves you!"

Afterwards, the host over there quickly said a few polite words to stir up some heat.

As the ratings here continued to rise and the atmosphere reached a climax, Xu Dongdong, at the director's signal, asked Xia Shu, "Xia Shu, looking at the list of contestants this time, are you really not planning on participating? Can you tell me why?"

Xia Shu thought for a moment and answered simply, "Because I'm busy with special forces matters right now, I haven't even had time for daily sniper training. If I were to participate in the competition, my level might drop significantly. I won't go up and humiliate myself."

Upon hearing this, Yifeng Miao smiled and said, "Xia Shu is very modest. This might make the audience sad. But what is this special forces unit you mentioned? Can you tell us about it?"

Xia Shu looked embarrassed and said, "This... is a military secret, so I can't go into details. Just think of them as a special unit. Oh, and they'll be participating in the competition later, so you can keep an eye on them."

When Xia Shu said this, the audience in front of the screen quickly took notes, and also wanted to see what the army that Xia Shu would rather not participate in but was so concerned about looked like.

Then, Xudong Miao asked again, "After that, Xia Shu should also come to join our commentary, right?"

Xia Shu looked at Jiamei hesitantly, and Jiamei gave her a determined smile. It seemed that even if she didn't want to, Jiamei would pull her over.

So he said to the screen, "Let's see what happens. If nothing else, I'll come again."

After hearing this, the audience put their worries aside.

It seems that they can accept Xia Shu not participating in the competition.

After all, you can also see Xia Shu’s handsome face in the live broadcast room.

Audiences are very easy to satisfy.

848. A captain who knows how to slack off is a good captain

After the climax of the live broadcast, they casually discussed some highlights of the sniper competition.

Afterwards, today's preview program came to an end, and the two hosts spoke in unison about the closing remarks.

At this moment, Yifeng Miao seemed to remember something and asked Xu Dongdong, "Eh? Aren't you going to eat the chair? The audience is still waiting!"

Seeing this, Xu Dongdong said with sweat on his forehead, "This... let's talk about it next time."

As he said this, he laughed and ended the live broadcast in front of him.

When the director saw the camera crew signaled that they were done, he said loudly, "Go!", then clapped his hands and asked everyone to start preparing for the aftermath.

When the two anchors saw the live broadcast was over, they collapsed on their chairs like two lumps of mud.

The robot quickly brought them drinks and wiped the sweat off their faces.

It was the first time that Xia Shu saw the glamorous anchor behind the stage and found it very interesting.

Xu Dongdong smiled and looked at Xia Shu, saying, "You did well. Is this your first time on stage?"

Natsuki nodded and replied, "First time."

Then he took the glass of water handed to him by the robot, turned his head and looked at the live broadcast room curiously.

"Ah, it's time to call it a day!" Yifeng Miao suddenly stood up, put on his expensive leather coat, and turned to say to the others, "I want to eat chicken pot. Do you want to come?"

"You treat me?" Xu Dongdong stood up with a spirited look on his face, seeming to be very interested in eating and drinking for free.

"AA!" Yifeng Miao opened the wallet interface with a stingy look, then asked Xia Shu and the others, "Do you two want to come?"

Xia Shu glanced at Fake Sleep, who seemed to mean to listen to her.

So Xia Shu said, "We have other plans later. Let's talk about it next time."

"Okay, I'll treat you guys to seafood next time!" Yifeng said, and walked out of the studio first.

Xu Dongdong followed behind and complained, "I don't know when your next time will be."

Then the two of them walked together and left Xia Shu's sight.

Xia Shu thought that these two people were indeed very interesting, but when he remembered that he was forced to participate in the show, he looked at Jiamei with an annoyed expression.

He pretended to sleep and laughed, then hugged Xia Shu and left the studio. It seemed that he was going to get over the matter.

Xia Shu had no choice but to let her go for now and said, "I can't come here every day. I will definitely have other things to do by then."

"No problem, no problem. I won't force you when the time comes!" Jiamei said, and brought Xia Shu to the director team.

When the director over there saw the two people pretending to sleep, he immediately came over with a smile.

I chatted with her for a while and it seemed that we were very familiar with each other.

Afterwards, they agreed on a time to return to the show later, and Jiamei took Xia Shu away from the studio center in the flower district.

After arriving at the athletes' dormitory area, the special forces team members had already arranged everything under Fafner's arrangement.

This time, the flower district itself is the organizer, so the handover of various affairs will be much faster than before.

All the team members have checked into the dormitory at this time, and Fafner has also arranged a dormitory for Xia Shu.

The room was exactly the same as last time. Even the roommate was the same as last time, Chunxiang.

After getting the room card, Xia Shu went to the dormitory and greeted Haruka.

This time, Haruka didn't take a shower in the dormitory. When she saw Xia Shu coming over, she smiled and teased her for a few words, as if she also remembered the embarrassing incident last time.

Afterwards, the two went to the restaurant to have lunch together, and then went to the training ground to watch the players' training. Then they returned to the dormitory and chatted.

"Oh, by the way, I saw Simon at the training ground before. She asked you if you really wouldn't be participating this time. When I said it was true, her expression was like the sky was falling." Chunxiang said with a smile.

Xia Shu was a little confused. What did it have to do with Simon if he didn't participate in the competition?

This logic is wrong.

So Xia Shu said, "Isn't it just that I'm not participating in the competition and I'm giving you a place? Why are you still unhappy?"

Haruka's expression became complicated upon hearing this, and she said, "Don't just look at the chances of getting a good grade. The quality of the competition also matters. Since neither you nor Rabbit God are participating today, the quality of our competition is a notch lower than last year. When our results are released, people will talk about us."
