Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

A group of people fled in the forest.

A young man with clear eyebrows and eyes led the way, and with a shining blade in his hand he cut through the branches and trunks that blocked his view cleanly and neatly.

He frowned and looked at the people behind him: "Hurry up! We must leave this forest before nightfall!"

The other young man who fell behind gasped for breath. With the help of two people beside him, he sat down on a tree trunk and said, "I really can't run anymore! Can't you just use your mecha?"

The leading man frowned and said, "The portable mecha is too conspicuous. Do you want the monsters to find our location?"

"I don't care! Anyway, I can't run anymore. Either you carry me on your back, or you leave me here to die!"

"you!"

The other man sighed slightly, walked to the tree trunk and squatted down: "Fourth Prince, let me carry you. Ajue, you should also stop talking."

The Fourth Prince raised his leg with a malicious look on his face and kicked the squatting man on the back, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

He looked down at me and said, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to carry me on your back?"

Lan Jue helped the man up from the ground and looked at the Fourth Prince with a bad face: "Tumenzhen, if you hadn't insisted on traveling to the border star system, we wouldn't be in this situation now, and so many classmates wouldn't have died because of you. Stop putting on your royal airs. Targeting Tingzhi won't make you more noble. You're really annoying."

Tumen Zhen said with disdain: "Those people are just civilians. It is their honor to die for this prince."

Lan Jue simply couldn't communicate with him, and he suppressed his anger and said, "You are so indifferent to other people's lives that you are not even as good as the eldest princess."

Tumenzhen was furious. He hated it most when someone mentioned his elder sister in front of him. He pointed at Lan Jue's nose and was speechless for a long time. He looked at the two attendants beside him and said angrily: "Are you here to eat for free?! Didn't you see that Major Lan was disrespectful to this prince? What should be done according to the imperial law?!"

The two men had no good feelings towards the Fourth Prince, but they had to obey him because of his royal status. In addition, Lan Jue's military rank was far higher than theirs, so they did not dare to interfere with their superior's actions, so they said nothing.

Seeing that they were pretending to be deaf and dumb, Tumenzhen became even angrier.

If almost all of his personal non-commissioned officers had not died in the previous battle, he would not have ended up in this situation. Not only did his subordinates disobey orders, but they also dared to give him a hard time!

If he hadn't been relying on this group of people for protection, he would never have been able to swallow this.

When he returns to the Central Galaxy, he will definitely teach Lan Jue and Jian Tingzhi a lesson!

"Okay, rest here for five minutes." Lan Jue glanced at Tu Menzhen coldly, then turned to look at Jian Tingzhi: "You are not injured, are you?"

Jian Tingzhi shook his head and looked around. "It looks like this place is safe for now. I'll go check out the periphery and confirm the escape route."

Lan Jue nodded: "I'll go with you."

"No!" Tumenzhen stared at the two men with a worried look on his face: "You two are the strongest fighters here. If you go out together, who will protect my safety? Jian Tingzhi, you go, Lan Jue, you stay."

Lan Jue was about to say something, but Jian Tingzhi stopped him. He shook his head and said, "I'll be back soon."

Jian Tingzhi was very agile and climbed up the tree in a few steps, then patrolled among the trees.

Lan Jue folded his arms across his chest, leaning against a big tree nearby, ignoring Tumen Zhen.

Tumenzhen's face turned even worse. The two attendants beside him also looked embarrassed and silently turned their eyes away.

Qiansui took all of this into his sight and sent a message to Lu Jinzhao, who was dozens of miles away: "Brother Chao, are you sure these are the protagonists of this world?"

"It's hard to say, after all, I don't know what kind of literature this world is about." Lu Jinzhao turned into a big leopard and lay on a tree, wagging his tail lazily to bask in the sun. "Generally speaking, it's rare for an author to give all of his protagonists ordinary identities. There must be some who are the chosen ones of heaven. Because we read novels to empathize and feel good, not to look in the mirror. Therefore, people with good looks, rich or powerful, or extraordinary abilities are more likely to be the protagonists. Interstellar novels often mention a certain general of a certain empire. Since this Lan Jue is the only son of Admiral Lan Ting and the best student in the history of the Imperial Military Academy, and he has a beauty like Jian Tingzhi by his side, if this is a BL-oriented apocalyptic interstellar novel, they are most likely the male protagonists."

Qiansui circled Lan Jue several times in stealth mode, then turned back to look at the fourth prince on the other side, "Then this Tumen Zhen must be the villain, one of the first to die. He is stupid and evil, and I find him very annoying these days."

"People who are born into noble families but are not valued are most likely to have a personality like his, especially when there is a princess who is outstanding in everything. No one will pay attention to him, and he is more likely to be psychologically distorted and will not allow anyone to not respect him. Ignore him and look at Jian Tingzhi."

Chitose: "Okay! I'll go right away!"

Jian Tingzhi explored the surroundings and found a water source. He turned on the light computer to detect and confirm that the water source was not polluted. He felt relieved, filled the water bottle he carried with him, and got up to return.

Just as he turned around, a giant piranha monster with human hands and feet emerged from the water and pounced on him.

Jian Tingzhi reacted very quickly. Sensing danger, he threw himself forward and rolled over, then turned around, pulled out his pistol and shot.

The light bullet hit the fish monster, and its mirror-smooth scales successfully refracted the light beam, only successfully piercing its hands and feet that were not covered by scales. The fish monster felt the pain and became more and more angry. It crawled on all fours towards Jian Tingzhi's darkness, and its speed was several times faster than Bolt in his prime.

As a human being, even a genetically optimized human being, it was impossible for Jian Tingzhi to reach that speed. He jumped onto a tree several times and shuttled back and forth among the trees to avoid the fish monster's pursuit.

Fortunately, the fish monster cannot climb trees, so he doesn't have to worry too much about his life for the time being. However, he cannot lead the fish monster to his teammates, so he has to think of another way.

Seeing that it couldn't catch up with its target, the fish monster started to get anxious and spewed out aqua-blue liquid from its mouth. It hit the branch that Jian Tingzhi was standing on like a water bullet, corroding the branch and breaking it in an instant.

Jian Tingzhi was frightened by this sudden change. He lost his balance and fell from the tree into the pile of wood.

Qiansui happened to see this scene and stopped in the air: "Ah, it seems that Jian Tingzhi can't beat this monster. Should I help him?"

Lu Jinzhao: "Is Lan Jue nearby?"

"Still resting there."

"Let's wait and see. If he is really the protagonist of the small world, he won't die so easily."

"That's right. If he dies, it means he's not the protagonist we're looking for. Then we can change our target."

Jian Tingzhi hid himself in the bushes, holding his breath and observing the fish monster's every move. He remembered that he seemed to have brought compressed incendiary bombs when he came out, although he had almost used them up, with only two left.

Since it is a fish monster, there is no reason why it would not be afraid of fire, right?

He stood up, looked straight at the fish monster, held the gun in his left hand, clenched the incendiary bomb in his right hand, and confronted the fish monster.

The fish monster sprayed venom bombs twice in a row, and Jian Tingzhi dodged sideways. He took advantage of the moment when the fish monster pounced on him and threw the incendiary bomb into the fish monster's mouth.

"boom--"

The fish monster was an aquatic animal, and could not withstand the sudden high temperature of a thousand degrees. It was blown to pieces, with cooked fish meat splattered everywhere and fragments of internal organs stuck everywhere.

The scene was so beautiful that Qiansui could not bear to watch it. He turned around and said, "Jian Tingzhi's survival has been confirmed."

"Well, just keep watching. Call me when they run out of ammunition."

"Do you feel that you have become much lazier since you became a big cat? You always sleep all the time."

"Isn't this the nature of you cats?"

"...I am speechless."

Lan Jue waited for a long time. His already uneasy heart became even more agitated after hearing the explosion. He ran straight in the direction where the sound came from.

"Major Lan! Don't you care about my life or death?!"

Tumenzhen shouted loudly, successfully stopping Lanjue's steps. He cursed inwardly, turned and looked at Tumenzhen: "Fourth Prince, there seems to be an explosion over there in Tingzhi. I am worried and want to go and take a look. In order to continue to protect you, please come with me."

"Huh?" Tumenzhen raised his eyebrows and smiled at him: "Major Lan actually lowered your proud head to me? What a pity, my feet hurt so much that I don't want to go. Besides, you knew there might be a fight over there, but you still asked me to go with you, what are you thinking?"

The veins on Lan Jue's forehead were throbbing wildly.

He should not have agreed to the Second Prince's request to accompany this unlucky prince on a border trip.

Now not only is my life threatened by being dragged into someone's game, but I also have to endure the brainless demands of this idiot. I really want to throw him directly into the monster's mouth.

At this time, Shi Feng, who had fallen behind in order to cover the team, caught up. He had a minor injury on his forearm, but no bleeding, and everything else seemed fine.

Shi Feng knelt on one knee in front of Tumen Zhen and said, "Your Highness, I have cleared out the monsters chasing us. We are safe for now."

Tumenzhen seemed to have a huge boost now, and his back straightened a little: "Well done."

Lan Jue snorted coldly: "Since the Fourth Prince's loyal servant is here, I will leave first."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Tumenzhen anymore and rushed straight towards Jian Tingzhi.

Tumenzhen was so angry that he almost gnashed his teeth. Shi Feng quietly stepped aside and became a shadow again.

"Where are you going? Come here."

Shi Feng appeared beside Tumen Zhen obediently, "Your Highness, please give me your orders."

Tumenzhen reached out and scratched the wound on Shifeng's arm. As if he had discovered something interesting, he tore open the surface skin, revealing the components inside that glowed with a faint white light. He clapped his hands and laughed, "So this is the internal structure of your bionic people."

Shi Feng remained motionless, allowing Tumen Zhen to move.

"Snapped--"

Tumenzhen suddenly slapped Shi Feng in the face, leaving the other two military academy students confused.

Why would this prince suddenly hit someone for no reason?

"What are you looking at? Do I need your consent to teach my own android a lesson?"

He glared at the two men angrily, raised his left hand to grab the back of Shi Feng's head, and slapped him on the face with his right hand several more times, each slap louder than the last.

Shi Feng's eyelashes trembled, he neither spoke nor moved, a model of submissiveness.

The other two cadets looked at each other and expressed their incomprehension of this abnormal master-servant relationship.

Although the Blue Star Empire is an empire, it is actually democratic and free. It attaches great importance to the personal rights of its residents and truly implements equality for all. Even for bionic people, it is not allowed to beat and scold them in public.

But since both parties are willing to fight and be beaten, they can't say anything.

Lan Jue met Jian Tingzhi who was rushing back on the way. He looked him up and down, confirmed that he was not injured, and breathed a sigh of relief, "How is the situation ahead?"

"There is a river. A human-sized fish monster appeared in the river. Light bullets will be refracted by its scales and cannot cause any harm. At present, it is impossible to determine whether there are other fish monsters in the river, but according to my detection, the river is several thousand meters long. It is not realistic to bypass it from the upstream."

"So, the only option is to try to force our way across the river?"

"Yes, from a distance, there seems to be a city a few kilometers away on the other side of the river, and I found several sets of human footprints of different sizes by the river."

The two exchanged information and rushed back while being vigilant about their surroundings. When they came back, they saw Tumenzhen complaining that her hand was hurt by the slap, so she asked Shifeng to slap his mouth himself.

Jian Tingzhi stepped forward to block Shi Feng, staring directly at Tumenzhen, frowning and saying, "Your Highness, there is a city not far ahead, we should hurry up. Otherwise, nocturnal monsters will appear after dark, and our vision will be limited. I'm afraid we won't be able to protect you."

"Are you threatening me?" Tumenzhen stood up and pushed Jian Tingzhi. "Don't think you are great just because you are a senior in the military academy. Don't order me around."

After saying that, he crossed his arms and walked in the direction where Jian Tingzhi had just come from.

Shi Feng followed silently.

The remaining four people looked at each other and saw unhappy expressions on each other's faces.

Tumenzhen turned around and said, "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go."

Qiansui stroked his chin, "Now in this desolate mountain, no one knows what bad things he did. If it were me, I would just kill this Fourth Prince. The monsters will eat his body clean anyway, and then I can blame the villain. Why do they pamper this Fourth Prince so much? Don't they hate him?"

"It may be that Tumenzhen's optical computer has a special life-saving setting." Lu Jinchao transformed into a human form, changed his clothes in the system space with one click, put on his hood, and carried his bag: "It may also be that the original author arranged a special way for him to die, or to show the protagonists' deep sense of justice? Maybe they are the protagonists? The troublemakers and the masochists are not human. Although it is not my reading preference, I see that many people like this type of people in the bookstore list. After all, the mental state of modern people is quite worrying."

"Eh, you humans have really weird XPs, all kinds of them." Qiansui imagined it for a moment and said disdainfully, "I can't knock it, I can't knock it."

"Let's not talk about this any further. Just continue to follow them. We will meet at the city gate."

"Okay, let's see how long these people can tolerate him."

The group arrived at the river safely. Tumenzhen used a light computer to test the water quality, smiled, scooped up clean water with both hands to wash his face, then took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet in the water.

The others on the side were speechless.

Not to mention that they were just about to take a few sips when they were put off by his foot-washing action. He dared to put his legs in the water when there was no way to know if there were any monsters under the water. His brain was simply underdeveloped.

This Fourth Prince must not have been paying attention in class at the military academy.
