The big move Rong Shi pulled off in the middle of the night sparked heated discussion at the military academy. The next day, almost everyone switched to his screen, and even the instructors stayed up all night preparing lesson plans, intending to analyze this as a key case.

Then, they watched with anticipation as Rong Shi ate his way through the journey.

The “Food Journey” on the forum even got a sequel—#Inventory of Rong Shi’s Roasted Game, Essential Dry Goods Post for Wilderness Missions#

The replies had a unique style—

“Don’t panic when things happen, roast some meat first.”

“Bro, stop eating, if you keep eating, you’ll empty out the new training ground.”

“Other teams discuss how to win when they encounter beasts, they discuss how to eat.”

“Other teams: We’re going to be eaten. They: The food’s here.”

“The Taste of New Training, I missed out on billions back then.”

“I wanted to see him pull off a big move, but he showed me roasted meat instead. Do something useful!”

After separating from the main group, Rong Shi walked in the direction he had previously estimated. He had intended to shake off Song Yu and Qin Luo, but unfortunately, Song Yu was determined to follow him, and Qin Luo’s eyes had become much more eager since tasting the wild game.

In the evening, they found a place to set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

While washing his face by the stream, Qin Luo vigilantly looked behind him and whispered to Song Yu by his side: “The direction is wildly off. Where does he want to go?”

Song Yu wrung out his towel and wiped his hands: “Who cares where he goes, just follow him.”

Qin Luo, however, couldn’t be as calm as him. Rong Shi must have discovered the assassin incident last night, but he hadn’t mentioned it at all until now.

Could an ordinary teenager be so calm after seeing a murder?

“Brother, do you think he might be a big—” Qin Luo gave Song Yu a look, not continuing his sentence.

Song Yu paused in wiping his hands, rubbing his thumb against the side of his index finger: “I don’t know.”

There was a cave at the foot of the mountain. After what happened last night, Qin Luo felt they should set up tents outside tonight. At least under satellite monitoring, assassins wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

But Song Yu insisted on sleeping in the cave.

Qin Luo: “What if—”

Song Yu, however, smiled: “Why do you think I came out here? If I don’t create opportunities for them, when will I get a chance?”

Qin Luo completely disagreed: “It’s too dangerous! You can’t use yourself as bait!”

In his peripheral vision, Rong Shi walked over from a distance carrying a wild pig leg. Song Yu’s voice was very low: “The most dangerous thing in this new training ground is him. Everything else is negligible.”

Qin Luo tried to piece together Song Yu’s thoughts, becoming even more confused.

Following Rong Shi when he was very strong but an unknown ally or enemy was a huge risk if something went wrong!

“The most dangerous place is the safest place” is nonsense! He had to keep a close eye on Rong Shi for His Highness!

Rong Shi wasn’t interested in uncovering the little secrets of this master and servant pair. He started a fire, set the prepared wild pig leg over it, and then took out eggs he had just dug out of a bird’s nest from his backpack, wrapped them in mud, and threw them into the fire to roast.

As soon as Qin Luo saw the unfamiliar bird eggs, he immediately squatted beside Rong Shi, staring eagerly. He only came back to his senses after happily eating them.

Wait, why was he only focused on eating? This was a number one dangerous person; he couldn’t be so unguarded!

Song Yu peeled an eggshell, teasing: “I didn’t expect Chairman Rong, such a proper person, to also raid bird nests.”

Rong Shi: “Give it back if you don’t want to eat it.”

Song Yu bit off half of it: “You ate my rabbit, what’s wrong with me eating your egg?”

Rong Shi: “…”

Qin Luo choked on a mouthful of egg yolk: “…” Can they even “drive” on this broken mountain road?

At night, the three of them took turns standing guard. Rong Shi opened his locator, calculating the approximate distance to the target.

A gust of wind blew past, carrying the dampness of plants and a faint floral scent, making him momentarily恍惚.

Rong Shi’s eyes changed. He looked around, confirming the direction from which the floral scent was wafting.

Inside the cave, Song Yu pressed his temples and opened his eyes. The sudden warmth made him restless. He tried taking a few deep breaths, but the inexplicable floral scent only made him more agitated.

He wanted to hit someone.

He knew this emotion wasn’t normal. He sat still for a moment, then walked to the campfire at the cave entrance, his voice low and raspy from just waking up, and full of irritation: “My turn.”

Rong Shi: “Did you smell a floral scent, like osmanthus?”

Song Yu sat on a rock beside him, his face grim: “It stinks.”

A hint of alcohol suddenly mixed faintly with the floral scent. There was a slight fruity note in the woody fragrance. It was spicy and intense on the palate, like a burning fire, but the aftertaste dispersed a sweet flavor. Even when the wind blew, the lingering scent lingered. It was very unique and smelled very good.

Rong Shi felt his heart clench. A microcurrent quickly flowed through his body from his fingertips. A bell in his mind hammered loudly.

He quickly pinpointed the source of the scent to Song Yu.

Song Yu poked the campfire with a wooden stick. Sparks exploded, flashing and disappearing in the darkness. He couldn’t help but loosen his collar: “Don’t you feel very hot—”

Seeing Rong Shi leaning closer from the corner of his eye, he instinctively recoiled: “What are you doing?”

That movement made the scent of alcohol clearer.

Rong Shi immediately confirmed that he had smelled this pheromone before.

Everyone’s pheromone scent is different. Even if it’s the same osmanthus scent, there will be subtle differences.

In his previous life, he had never met Song Yu, not even through a screen, so why was this pheromone so familiar?

Rong Shi suppressed a bellyful of questions and said calmly: “Your pheromones are leaking out. Didn’t you take an inhibitor?”

Song Yu was startled. He raised his hand and sniffed: “How can that be? I just took one before coming.”

Of course, when smelling himself, he couldn’t smell anything.

Rong Shi rummaged through his own bag, pulled out an inhibitor, and handed it to him: “I told you before, toxins might cause an early susceptible period, and—”

He looked towards a certain dark direction: “This floral scent isn’t normal either.”

Song Yu didn’t take it. He went back to get his own backpack, took off his gloves, and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing his muscular forearms.

He injected the inhibitor into his vein: “That’s probably the effect of the toxin. I’ve never seen an omega’s pheromone affect me.”

Pheromones also had differences in strength. Strong ones could influence weaker ones. Among the same sex, it manifested as suppression; among different sexes, it manifested as attraction.

When he could no longer smell the alcohol, Rong Shi got up: “You stand guard here. I’ll go take a look.”

“What are you going to look at?” Song Yu put down his sleeves and looked up at him, “Even if an omega is in heat, it has nothing to do with you.”

Rong Shi’s face was blank: “To watch the show.”

Song Yu: “…”

Twenty minutes later, the two of them were crouching on a low tree branch.

In the open space ten meters ahead, two tents were pitched. The fire in the campfire was almost extinguished. The door flap of one of the tents was open, and sounds of argument came from inside.

Song Yu laughed heartlessly: “They didn’t get together, did they?”

Rong Shi, however, couldn’t laugh. He had a strong, unsettling premonition.

Soon, the tent flap was roughly pulled open, and an alpha stumbled out. 01’s mechanical voice sounded simultaneously.

【Gu Yan, Alpha, Captain of the First Legion’s Second Vanguard, Captain rank.】

Rong Shi’s eyes darkened, then he heard 01’s more human-like child’s voice.

【A traitor colluding with the enemy! Watch me blow him into a hornet’s nest with a particle cannon!】

Soon, an omega followed out of the tent. His collar was open, his face flushed unnaturally, and he had a mole on his mandible.

【Lin Mo, Omega, younger brother of Lin Feng, Commander of the Seventh Legion, Gu Yan’s partner.】

Gu Yan saw Lin Mo approaching and walked a few more steps away: “You quickly go back into the tent! I’ll go see if there’s anyone else to help you get an inhibitor.”

Lin Mo’s voice was tearful: “But I’m scared alone, it’s okay without an inhibitor, will you stay with me?”

Gu Yan: “I won’t be able to resist marking you!”

Lin Mo sobbed and wiped away tears, saying in a kitten-like voice: “But—I don’t want to be alone.”

The two on the tree branch listened for a while. Song Yu couldn’t help but lean into Rong Shi’s ear and mock: “This omega’s seduction technique is really clumsy.”

Being so close, Rong Shi smelled that alcohol scent again. Although an inhibitor had been injected, pheromones wouldn’t disappear immediately.

Rong Shi observed the situation over there: “Not as good as you.”

Song Yu: “?”

The two over there started arguing. Lin Mo cried and tugged at Gu Yan’s clothes, not letting him leave. It was clear that Gu Yan was trying very hard to endure.

The floral scent suddenly became stronger.

“Mark me, Brother Yan.”

As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Gu Yan, who had been enduring, suddenly, for some reason, forcefully pressed Lin Mo to the ground, tore open his collar, and bit down.

Something flew to Gu Yan’s neck, and he fainted before biting Lin Mo’s scent gland.

“Brother Yan? Brother Yan?” Lin Mo pushed him. He had just sat up when he was hit by the same thing and also collapsed to the ground.

Rong Shi withdrew his hand, jumped off the tree branch, and walked over.

Song Yu glanced at the green fruit rolling into the corner, his gaze lingering on Rong Shi for a moment longer.

Rong Shi lifted Gu Yan off Lin Mo: “You go look for the flare.”

“Dare to order me around.” Song Yu grunted, then slipped into one of the tents.

After he went in, Rong Shi’s eyes darkened: “01, extract their pheromones.”

As his voice fell, the sapphire on the decorative buckle transformed into a needle-like object and pressed against Gu Yan’s scent gland.

【Saved to database.】

Rong Shi then moved his hand closer to Lin Mo, only releasing it after hearing 01’s success prompt.

【Gu Yan’s blood contains high concentrations of inhibitor. Lin Mo’s blood has no inhibitor components.】

Song Yu fired Lin Mo’s flare into the sky.

“I told you so.” He slowly walked towards Rong Shi, holding the inhibitor he had found in Lin Mo’s backpack: “This omega was deliberately trying to seduce him. We ruined his fun.”

Rong Shi took the inhibitor to examine it, confirming it was unused.

In his previous life, Gu Yan and Lin Mo were partners, but from the situation just now, they didn’t seem like a couple at all.

Rong Shi looked up at Song Yu: “How are you?”

Song Yu was observing the two on the ground and casually replied: “How am I what?”

Rong Shi: “Just now, this omega’s pheromones suddenly intensified. You weren’t affected?”

Song Yu looked at him: “Could I be affected by this kind of omega?”

His words carried a sense of being insulted.

They waited in place for ten minutes. After the rescue personnel arrived, they left.

On the way back, Rong Shi listened to 01’s analysis results, but because there was no network connection, the information was incomplete.

Thinking of that omega’s pheromones, he seemed to smell the alcohol again, and a sentence slipped out.

Rong Shi: “Your pheromones smell very good.”

After speaking, he received no response. He turned his head to look and saw Song Yu staring at him with a displeased expression.

Rong Shi: “What’s wrong?”

Song Yu said, word by word: “That’s sexual harassment.”

Rong Shi: “?”
