Chapter 249: Bonus Extra
【Negotiation Skit】
One year, Lian Sheng and Hundred Meter Flying Dagger arrived at a remote planet that had just ended its war.
Lian Sheng was designated as the negotiation representative by the opposing leader, with Hundred Meter Flying Dagger accompanying her, treading on thin ice.
Before entering, Hundred Meter Flying Dagger stopped Lian Sheng and coaxed her patiently: "Lian Sheng, oh noble General Lian, I know you're never wrong, but this time there are reporters filming nearby. I'm afraid those old men might say unpleasant things to provoke you, so they can twist the narrative and stir conflict between both sides. So later, even if you find them unbearable, please try to save them some face."
Lian Sheng felt somewhat displeased: "What do you mean by that? It's always others who provoke me first—what does that have to do with me?"
"With all the trouble surrounding you, do you really think trouble grows legs just to chase after you?" Hundred Meter Flying Dagger said bluntly. "Don't you realize? Your ability to draw hatred is outrageous! The moment you open your mouth to mock—"
Lian Sheng laughed angrily and nodded: "Fine, then I won't say a single word later. Let's see whose fault it really is."
"You better keep your word!" Hundred Meter Flying Dagger felt relieved. "After you, please!"
Indeed, there are some people who, even when standing silently, can reveal an unyielding, imposing aura and an air of arrogance with just a fleeting glance.
By the time negotiations reached the halfway point, the other side was already sweating profusely, not daring to say another word. They practically wanted to hide under the table.
The reporters on the other side kept frantically snapping photos. Hundred Meter Flying Dagger felt his vision darken, already imagining the shocking headlines tomorrow's news would carry.
After leaving the room and reaching an empty corridor, Lian Sheng spread her hands innocently: "Can't blame me, right? If I don't look at him, should I stare at the ceiling?"
Hundred Meter Flying Dagger sighed: "I can't blame you, but I can't blame him either."
Lian Sheng said indignantly: "Are you saying I look like I deserve a beating?"
Hundred Meter Flying Dagger waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it."
【Romance Advice】
As the first in her squad to get into a relationship, Lian Sheng often faced all sorts of strangely roundabout questions.
So whenever a colleague came to her for advice on handling interpersonal relationships, she would instinctively assume it was some kind of veiled romantic plea.
During one Expeditionary Force training session, around six in the morning, Lian Sheng had just stepped out when she was stopped by a stranger.
He led her stealthily to the stairwell, stood behind the wall, and asked in a hushed voice: "I want to know—what's the best way to make someone submit? How can I make her take me seriously and listen to what I say? I really don't understand women. I don't even know where I offended her."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and punched his thigh, grumbling indignantly: "Damn it! She keeps picking fights for no reason, stealing our team's supplies, sabotaging us during exercises! She doesn't care about losing points herself but drags us down too. So annoying!"
Lian Sheng nodded solemnly, waiting for him to vent his frustrations before saying sagely: "I think sometimes it might be because you're too overbearing."
The young man: "Me?!"
Lian Sheng coaxed patiently: "Yes. In the Expeditionary Force, sometimes we represent not just ourselves but the face of an entire unit. As a captain, she must be especially strong-willed. The more domineering you are, the more she'll dig in her heels—she can't let her teammates suffer because of her. Of course, she has to stand her ground against you. But what's the point of you two clashing? It doesn't solve anything and just makes other teams laugh at you. Besides, think about it—why would she rather rank last in exercises than back down from fighting you?"
The young man asked blankly: "Why?"
"Because she's angry with you." Lian Sheng couldn't be sure but said vaguely, "Figure it out yourself. Why is she so mad? Try softening your approach—maybe she'll start listening to your suggestions."
The young man was deeply shaken and nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."
A few days later, Lian Sheng learned that the person who had secretly approached her was none other than the captain of the Expeditionary Force's infamous "Mad Dog Squad," which fought tooth and nail every year against Team Two over some trivial red flower in the league matches.
The two captains had a feud so deep it supposedly dated back to their time in the womb—they were sworn enemies by fate.
Lian Sheng spent some time feeling uneasy before finally telling Zhao Zhuoluo and the others about it.
Fang Jianchen dismissed it: "What could happen? Their relationship is already like fire and water! Even if they tear the sky apart one day, it's got nothing to do with you!"
Then, just before the new league season began, Team Two's cold and imposing captain—also the Expeditionary Force's beauty—stood before her teammates with the Mad Dog Squad's captain and announced solemnly: "He's my boyfriend now. We might have misunderstood him before. Let's bury the hatchet and work together this year to win a medal."
The nearly two-meter-tall, muscular man who radiated "I have no shame" rested his head on her shoulder and cooed affectedly: "Mhm."
The entire Expeditionary Force: "..."
Sometimes, you really have to believe in the inexplicable.
【The following was previously posted on Weibo—some may not have seen it, so it's included here.】
A teacher felt Lian Sheng's tactics were too bold and aggressive for a student, so he called her in for a talk.
He sat at the desk, pondered for a moment, and began tactfully: "If someone tries to hit you, what would you do?"
Lian Sheng answered without hesitation: "Hit back."
"Good." The teacher nodded and guided her further, "What if that person has a weapon?"
Lian Sheng said impassively: "Hit him."
The teacher stressed: "He has a weapon."
Lian Sheng looked at him as if it were obvious: "That's even more reason to hit him. I'd feel bad hitting someone unarmed."
"Fine!" The teacher's tone sharpened slightly, his facial muscles tensing. "What if he's piloting a mech and tries to hit you?"
Lian Sheng gave him a strange look but still said: "Hit him."
Then she added: "No matter the approach, you can't just stand there and take it. That's not my principle."
The teacher's face twitched, nearly gritting his teeth: "A! MECH!"
Lian Sheng fell into deep thought. Just as the teacher thought she might have an epiphany, she asked hesitantly: "Is the Alliance so poor we have to stop mechs with human walls? Shouldn't I have something to fight back with?"
The teacher felt blood rush to his head. He stood up and roared: "I'm telling you not to always charge in alone and fight fight fight!"
"Of course not." Lian Sheng said confidently, "I have lackeys. Lots of them."
Lian Sheng: Actually, I'm extremely cautious.
【About Prayers】
During one operation, Lian Sheng's squad was surrounded by enemy forces, trapped in dire straits.
A young man looked up at the sky and asked: "What should we do now?"
Lian Sheng said: "Curse their ancestors eighteen generations."
The young man whipped his head around: "What?"
Lian Sheng said: "Since you've got nothing better to do, stop overthinking."
The young man muttered under his breath for a while before asking: "And then?"
Lian Sheng said: "Then pray!"
Young man: "Pray for what? For the curses to come true? But their ancestors are already dead!"
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting before the gods?!" Lian Sheng snapped. "Pray for your own survival! Comrade, calm down!"
Everyone: "..."
