Chapter 21: An LSP who loves performing artificial respiration?

Long Danni sat in her chair, gently tapping on the desk.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Long Danni's brow relaxed. "Come in."

This was Li Hao's first time coming to the principal's office, and he saw the legendary Principal Long.

Their gazes met, and Li Hao hurriedly saluted, "Hello, Principal. Li Hao is here to report."

Long Danni smiled slightly, "Li Hao, don't be so tense. You performed very well in this incident; saving your classmate was very brave. The school will reward you."

"Reporting to the Principal, this is what I should have done. Actually, classmates Zhou Naiyi and Ye Tong reacted even faster," Li Hao said, holding his head high and chest out.

"They were both very good too; you are all the pride of Tianjing Martial Arts. You and Zhou Naiyi are both in Class 16, right?" Long Danni looked at Li Hao with great satisfaction.

"Yes, Principal. The Class Monitor usually takes good care of me."

"Helping one another among classmates is as it should be; I was the same when I was a student... How did you kill the Giant Insect?" Long Danni asked suddenly, as if chatting about daily life.

"Its..." Li Hao was suddenly stunned, a look of bewilderment appearing on his face, "Principal, you've misunderstood. I didn't kill it. I thought I was going to die at the time, and then it just collapsed."

Long Danni smiled without a word. This kid's vigilance was a bit strong. She just looked at Li Hao, and Li Hao also wore an innocent expression; no matter how she stared, she couldn't find a crack in his facade.

"Is that so? But the video shows that when you were carrying Zhou Naiyi away, you looked back, and then the Giant Insect collapsed. How do you explain that?" Long Danni said. Although most of the video was obscured, it didn't hinder her from probing a little.

Li Hao was slightly stunned, then shrugged, "Principal, that was clearly just good luck. You don't think I could glare it to death, do you?"

Long Danni laughed, "Li Hao, I only said you looked back, I didn't say you glared at it. Alright, regardless of the situation, I don't care about that. It's just that with your skills, you were ranked last place last year; that is intolerable. You must put effort into helping Naiyi's combat team. I hope you can represent Tianjing in this year's tournament."

"Principal, you know my situation. I made mistakes in the past."

"I don't know exactly what happened. You did it, and you paid the price. Now you are a member of Tianjing Martial Arts, and you are my person. All you need to do is take down those who block the glory of Tianjing Martial Arts; leave everything else to me," Long Danni said domineeringly.

Li Hao smiled slightly and nodded. Some words are fine to just listen to, but he was still very willing to help Naiyi and the others.

"There is one more thing. I have an exchange student here who is a 'connection hire.' You are responsible for handling her. Wherever she wants to go, whatever she wants to do, it's all fine. The principle is to ensure her safety. As for other matters, don't be proactive, don't refuse. Do you understand what I mean?" Long Danni said, looking at Li Hao.

Li Hao was stunned, "Principal, um, I'm not very good at socializing. Could we switch to someone else?"

Long Danni frowned, seemingly finding that reasonable, "You recommend someone then. The school can cover the related expenses."

"Um, Principal, I thought about it. Since this is the first task you've entrusted to me, I should face the difficulty head-on. I think I can overcome it!"

At this moment, in the boundless night on the far side of the Moon, an underground base was brightly lit.

In the laboratory, two massive carbon-based Razor Giant Insects were staring fixedly at the human before them. Their bodies were tightly bound, but that did not prevent their Compound Eyes from exerting suppression. Even a battle-hardened Warrior would collapse within three seconds under this kind of mental shock.

The young man before them seemed to have no perception of it at all, the light in his eyes growing increasingly intense. The next second, green liquid began to seep from the bodies of the two Giant Insects, followed by two 'Bang! Bang!' sounds; the Giant Insects exploded, leaving the ground in a mess.

The laboratory door opened, and staff members completely wrapped in protective suits entered in an orderly fashion, cleaning up the aftermath with great proficiency.

The young man wiped the green liquid from his face, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Compared to the old principal's style, Li Hao preferred the current Long Danni; she had a certain killing intent about her, which was more to his taste.

It's just taking care of a 'connection hire,' a small matter.

Arriving at the infirmary, Zhou Naiyi had already woken up, and others from the class had already come by once.

"Damn, the hero is back. Not bad, Hao Ge. You're reliable in a pinch, and your mouth... oh, your hands were pretty fast too," Ma Long said with a wink and a grin.

"No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak. Class Monitor, are you feeling better?" Li Hao asked.

Zhou Naiyi's complexion was still a bit pale. When she rushed over, she had originally thought of an escape route, but she hadn't expected the Giant Insect to have such an ability to manufacture terror. Her body felt like it had fallen into an endless Abyss, until Li Hao saved her.

"Thank you."

"Why be so polite with me? You've always taken care of me, and I haven't been polite with you either. Just treat me to a meal when you're better. Actually, with the two of you causing such a stir, the bug's last breath had already dissipated. You two are the real heroes," Li Hao laughed.

"Second Brother, next time I'm in danger, you be that decisive too, hmph!" Ye Tong was a bit unhappy. Even if he had to perform artificial respiration, he could have called her to do it, right? Was a few seconds really that critical?

Could it be that Second Brother is also a 'LSP' deep down?

Li Hao had no choice at the time. It wasn't just artificial respiration; it was also to break her Dreamy suppression. Zhou Naiyi hadn't undergone that kind of training; a second later and she might have fallen into the Dreamy state forever, unable to wake up. That was far more serious than physical injury.

Li Hao ignored Ye Tong, "Class Monitor, the Principal just said she would reward you. Also, she told you to rest well."

Not long after, the doctor came in and asked everyone to leave. For someone in Zhou Naiyi's condition, rest was what she needed most.

Li Hao dragged Ma Long and the others away, while Zhou Naiyi gazed at Li Hao's back, still feeling a strange sensation in her heart.

Although she was a military academy student and had undergone some training, this was her first time facing life and death; it was a completely different feeling. By comparison, Li Hao and Ye Tong's performances were both better.

So, in this situation... does it count as a first kiss?

Today is Friday. Because of this incident, combat team training was canceled. Ye Tong seemed to have a bit of a mood, saying she was going to take a flight to Europe for the weekend. Everyone else went home, and Li Hao was the only one left in the dormitory again.

Sometimes, Li Hao felt that the existence of 'bleem' was actually quite good; at least someone was still thinking of him.

3000 EMP points—he had estimated it; it really wasn't a small amount. He still had to seriously climb the ranks.

There were even more people at the EMP Building on the weekend. Girls are fragrant, but not everyone has a fragrant girl.

Just as he reached the entrance, Li Hao received a Skycom message: Senior Li Hao, I am A Youyou. Is it convenient to meet now?

A Youyou?

That rings a bell. Wait, isn't this that 'connection hire' from Principal Long's place?

"I'm at the entrance of the EMP Building, preparing to train. Are you coming over?" Li Hao couldn't very well ignore it.

"Okay, Senior. I'll be there right away."

The other party replied in a second. Li Hao was a bit speechless. Girl, can't you tell this implies a refusal?

There was no help for it; Li Hao could only wait at the building entrance, kicking small stones out of boredom. As he kicked, a girl walked over from not far away.

Li Hao could perceive the other party's gaze; it must be that A Youyou person. Anyway, just dealing with it once or twice to give the principal an answer would be enough... This...

"Excuse me, are you Senior Li Hao?" the girl asked, looking at the somewhat tall boy before her.

"Senior?"

Li Hao only felt his heart going 'thump, thump, thump,' beating wildly out of control. Even when he first met 'bleem,' it hadn't been this fast. The girl before him looked a bit ordinary at a glance, seemingly not wearing much makeup, and there were even some small freckles near her nose, but she looked very, very comfortable. Her eyes were large, and she was beautiful when she smiled, very lively. With Li Hao's super-strong perception, it was as if there were a sea of stars in those eyes, and one would get Lost if not careful... He finally understood what Ma Long meant when he said girls' eyes could speak.

"Yes, I am Li Hao. Are you Aiyouyou?"

"Senior, my name is A Youyou, not Aiyouyou." The girl smiled playfully, and her heart-shaped red lips made Li Hao's heart race wildly again, his body temperature rising.

Watching Li Hao's silly look, the girl stuck out her tongue, "Senior, I was just joking with you earlier. Principal Long said I could entrust you with anything. Please take care of me."

Li Hao's heart was filled in an instant; dear Principal, I wronged you, you are a good person.

"Classmate A Youyou, is there anything you want to do, or anything you want to eat?" Just after saying this, Li Hao wanted to slap himself; so stupid, stay calm, think about Ma Laoshi's teachings, what was it again, hard-nursing... something.

Forget it, looking at the girl in front of him, Li Hao felt that thinking about those things was simply an insult.

"Senior, you are too polite, it is I who am disturbing you. I am an exchange student, I just arrived two days ago, and I wanted to know what everyone usually does." A Youyou looked at the strange, slightly flustered big boy in front of her.

"Me? I am from the Mecha Department, preparing to do EMP training," Li Hao said subconsciously.

"Great, great, I am also very interested in EMP, can I go with you?" A Youyou smiled slightly.

Of course Li Hao would not refuse, and he entered the EMP Building with A Youyou. If he had come with Ye Tong or Zhou Naiyi, it would definitely have attracted a lot of attention, but A Youyou was very ordinary; one couldn't say she wasn't good-looking, but she really wasn't stunning, especially at Tianjing Martial Arts, where most people would just glance and move on.

This is just a case of to each their own.

After scanning the 3D code, Li Hao discovered that he actually had Level 2 authorization for the EMP Building, which meant he would have a dedicated training room at any time.

Principal Long is truly a stand-up guy. Looking at the enthusiastic A Youyou beside him and the exclusive training room he was about to possess, Li Hao felt he should dedicate himself fully to Principal Long.

"Senior, go ahead and train. I will just watch in the lobby; you can come find me when you finish training later," A Youyou smiled. She knew it was not good to disturb him too much; for the Mecha Department, training was a very private matter.

Li Hao nodded; it seemed he couldn't play for too long today.

Logging into the EMP system, he currently had 960 points. The winning streak bonuses from the Reality Zone were still there, but it wasn't fast enough; he had to push harder.

He configured his Mecha selection. Since bleem didn't allow the use of anything outside the Armor Series, he still set it up to prevent accidental selection. When executing a mission, there is no such thing as luck, and of course, mistakes are not allowed; Li Hao understood this better than anyone.

He limited the Mecha library to only use the Armor Series Three Brothers. Damn it, just like the Fries Brothers. When Li Hao was in the Xuni Qu, he had tried all kinds of Mecha. To him, except for a few that were relatively interesting, the others were all about the same. However, the usage rate of the Armor Series Three Brothers had been declining in recent years. The Armor Dragon was still barely passable; generally, USE beginners would be recommended this model, while the graves of the Armor Tiger and Armor Leopard were already overgrown with grass.

(Tang Kai is awesome, such a domineering guy, details fully maxed out, great play!)
