I have a bunch of players on Earth - Chapter 625
625 Chapter 654: candidates from each family (middle)
“Have you heard? About the Luofu Collaboration?”
In the Lei family’s courtyard, a group of juniors were discussing noisily.
Most of these juniors were only at the age of Middle and high school. Obviously, they did not meet the criteria for this recruitment. Since they did not have the ability to compete with each other, they could only treat this matter as gossip to pass the time.
!!
“Who do you think will go to our family?”A chubby girl doll asked.
“Do you even need to say that?”The crowd of children.., a youth with skin that was yo-yo laughed and said, “Of course it’s my brother. He’s only 32 this year, but he already has the rank of senior colonel. He has commanded the suppression of bandits at sea for God knows how many military merits. The outside world’s evaluation says that he has the same demeanor as Grandpa back then. How many people of the same age can compare to my brother?”
“Tsk…”looking at the youth’s smug look, the group of children secretly pursed their lips, one of the children said, “This cultivator selection is based on aptitude, not on battle merits. If you ask me, I think second cousin has a better chance. After joining the Flood Dragon Special Forces for so many years, he has always been the number one soldier king there. He can fight like a thief. I heard that many internal martial arts grandmasters can’t beat him.”
“Talent is based on who can fight?”A fair-skinned baby sneered. “It’s based on cultivation talent, right?”? “If it were up to me, my brother would have a better chance. Many internal martial arts grandmasters say that he is a genius. Last time, an elder from Emei passed by and said that as long as brother is willing to leave our lei family, he can directly enter Emei. If it wasn’t for Grandpa who was reluctant to leave, now that my brother is already a cultivator, who else would have good talent?”
“Brother Jiaming? Hehe, he doesn’t seem to have a military background, right?”
“Is it difficult for our family? Can’t we just report him directly?”
As the group of children spoke, they saw one of the refined-looking boys cowering in a corner. Compared to the surrounding Lei family children, this child’s body was clearly much weaker. His lips were red and his teeth were white. He was like a doll, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. He silently left the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, he jogged all the way to one of the remote small rooms in the Lei family’s courtyard. In the room, beside the electric stove, there was a tall and slender girl, a girl with wheat bran-colored skin was sitting there quietly drawing some blueprints. The boy quietly walked over and glanced at the paper on the table.
There were some drawings on the table that he could not understand, but he could vaguely see that they were related to the design of the ship.
The girl was very focused, as if she did not notice that an outsider was coming over.
The boy quietly looked at the other party. The other party was his biological sister, Lei Xue, who was almost twenty years older than him. She was currently serving on the Black Dragon aircraft carrier in the military, serving as a level four engineer on the ship.
She was mainly responsible for commanding the maintenance of the cabin, as well as all kinds of equipment problems and suggestions for improvement.
The boy quietly sat by the side and looked at his focused sister without moving. He liked to see his sister’s focused look. He felt that it was very cool…
After an unknown amount of time, the girl seemed to notice her brother coming over. She smiled and said, “Zhan Hao? Why Don’t you go play with the other brothers?”
“There’s nothing to play with…”the boy pouted and lowered his head… …
“What’s the matter now?”Facing her little brother, the girl’s apparently capable aura was slightly eased, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
“Sister, this time… . . Luo Fu’s election, are you really not going to participate?”Her little brother asked with anticipation.
Hearing this, Lei Xue looked at her silly little brother with amusement. “How am I going to participate? There are only two spots in the family, how can it be my business?”
“Why is there no sister involved? Everyone says that sister used to have the best academic results in our circle. Eldest cousin and the others all entered the university through connections…”
Hearing this, Lei Xue smiled and pinched her little brother’s pink cheeks…
When she was young, she actually thought the same way. Speaking of learning ability, her results were among the best in the entire capital circle. She was definitely a straight-a student. The so-called straight-a student was the kind that literally meant… If you could give 500 marks, I could give you 500 marks…
But unfortunately, she was born into the wrong family…
She remembered that there was a girl who was about the same age as her in school. She had long been sent abroad to study. Relying on her outstanding learning ability, she had applied for several patents while in school. Moreover, because she had invented a patent and won an international physics prize, now that she had returned from overseas, she had been hired by the Geely Group to be the technical director. She was only 28 years old, about the same age as her…
As for herself. After entering the military academy, due to the system, no matter how strong she was, she would have to endure it slowly… …
She did not really want to enter the military academy, but this old man Lei was stubborn. He believed that if she did not join the army, she would not be considered a child of the Lei family.
Therefore, no matter how good her grades were, or whether she was forced into the Military Academy, the funny thing was that her cousins’academic results were nonsense. Through connections, they had also entered the military academy, after more than ten years of hard work, she managed to stand on the same starting line with her cousins who had put all their energy into skipping classes, fighting, and picking up girls when they were in school. Moreover, it seemed that they were not even as good as her cousins.
The army was a paradise for boys. This was the same even after the federation had been established for hundreds of years. Within the Military Academy, her advantage was almost completely gone, even though the professors there also recognized her learning ability, however, after she graduated from doctorate, she could only start from the grassroots.
The army’s engineers were classified. The high-level engineers studied high-end technology, while the low-level engineers were basically only responsible for repairing the content, even though her path had become much smoother due to her family’s connections. She would not be deliberately suppressed in a certain place, causing the hero to be useless, but it was not much better either. With her qualifications, she would still need to work for at least three more years as a level four engineer…
As her cousins were in the command department, it was easier for them to make contributions. The one who was the most incompetent back then was now a senior colonel…
Born in this family, who could she find to reason with? But she could not blame her own family, could she? After all, if she were to complain, who could she find to reason with those children who were born in poor families, whose families could not even afford the tuition fees, or were simply disabled?
Seeing his sister like this, the little boy finally became sensible and didn’t continue to dwell on this topic. Instead, he looked at the design drawing on the table and smiled. “Sister, why did you choose to major in ship design?”
“When I was young, I always liked to fiddle with these mechanical things…”at the mention of this girl, he immediately smiled. “I used to dismantle the television set at home and was often chased and beaten by my father with a Feather Duster!”
The boy laughed when he heard that. He loved fiddling with these things too, but now he was only at the level of taking apart the remote control board. When his family saw that he had this tendency, they often said that he was just as naughty as his sister when she was young…
“At that time, I could only choose a military academy. My specialty was limited. My mother wanted me to study military medicine or marine surveying and mapping. This was more suitable for girls, but I didn’t like it…”Lei Xue smiled as she recalled the past, at that time, she was already unwilling to be forced to choose a military academy. If she was not allowed to choose a major, she might really fall out with her family. Thus, her family took a step back and allowed her to choose a major that dealt with logistics craftsmen all day long.
“Then, sister, is this major good?”The Little Boy asked expectantly.
“About that…”the girl smiled bitterly, but she still said honestly, “I thought it was good at the beginning. Actually, I also quite yearned for a seafaring life. At that time, I thought that it would be good if I could do my favorite work on ships and machinery while enjoying the life on the sea…”
“Then what happened after that?”The little boy quickly asked.
“After that…”Lei Xue smiled wryly even more. As expected, she knew too little at that time. This was not the ancient era of large-scale seafaring. How could she have the kind of seafaring life that she imagined In the army.., she spent most of her time on the shore. Since she started working, she did not have many opportunities to go out to sea. She only waited for others to bring the ship back before she brought people up to check and maintain it. She did not feel that this ship had anything to do with her at all…
Now, she could only slowly endure it. When she reached level three engineer, she would be able to participate in the design or research of cutting-edge instruments, however, if she wanted to fully participate, she would have to wait for another ten years until she reached level one. Moreover, she would only be participating. The senior experts would have to make the decision on the big decisions.
When she could make the decision, she would be around 60 or 70 years old like those experts, right?
She didn’t know if she would still have the passion she had now. By the way..? She was a little confused. Was it really appropriate for such a creative career as a scientist to be suppressed so tightly by the system?
Sigh… She sighed and looked at her younger brother who was staring at her blankly. After some thought, she decided not to tell him this so as not to discourage the passion of children.
Just as she was about to use some topic to divert his attention, a familiar female voice suddenly came from outside. “Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, why are you still here?”
Lei Xue did not need to raise her head to know that her mother had come. Immediately, she kept the blueprints on the table. Up until now, her mother had often complained that she did not listen to her back then and went to study some ship design major, looking at these blueprints, she was afraid that she would have to Nag for a long time.
She saw a woman who looked forty to fifty percent like Lei Xue walking in with quick steps, after seeing Lei Xue, she hurriedly said, “Your eldest cousin and the others are all back. When everyone is here, your grandfather wants you all to gather and ask questions. Hurry, Hurry, don’t pack up. No one wants your things…”
When Lei Xue heard this, her expression immediately turned bitter…
Questioning was one of Old Master Lei’s hobbies. Every time the three generations of his family’s children arrived, he would gather his children and ask them one by one. From big to small, the big ones would ask about their work situation, and the small ones would ask about their academic results, it was just like the annual review.
In the past, when she was studying, she liked this segment the most because she was filled with a sense of superiority when faced with a group of underachievers around her. Now…
Hehe…
