At seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Yi was awakened by the housekeeper's intelligent computer in the room.
Draw open the curtains, and you will see that one wall of the room is made of transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, so you can clearly see the scene outside from inside.
There were already crew members outside driving back and forth preparing for the first scene of the morning.
Lin Yi took a look at the final makeup photo that had just been transmitted to him and simulated by the intelligent brain.
As the non-civilian area where the First Legion is stationed, the crew did not have access to the star network for the 15 days they came here, which means that the entire crew has to endure a life without Internet access for half a month. For information security reasons, they now only have the local area network on the deserted planet. The speed of news entering is the same, but they cannot communicate with the outside world.
In addition to the makeup photos sent by the crew, the mailbox of the personal terminal also contained several messages sent by Xiao A.
Xiao A: A day of missing my master. Attached is a selfie of me sweeping the floor diligently
Xiao A: Thinking about my master suffering on the deserted planet while I am enjoying the good life on the capital planet, I feel a little depressed and tearful. Here is an emoji package
Today is the first day of filming. Lin Yi has no scenes in the morning and can go to the set after noon.
He washed up and before he changed his clothes, messages from Song Qinsong and Xiao D had already been sent to him.
When Song Qinsong sent him back last night, Lin Yi asked him if he could use the training ground in the army. He didn't want to interrupt his continuous exercise habit in the past half month.
Fortunately, Song Qinsong said it was just a small matter and agreed to Lin Yi's request. The only thing was that Lin Yi's identity was special. As an omega, it was not suitable for him to go to the training ground used by ordinary soldiers in the army. Therefore, Song Qinsong came to take Lin Yi to a separate training ground used by generals this morning, and someone would pick him up and drop him off in the future.
As for the officers who were training there, they naturally wouldn't care. After the braised pork meal last night, everyone was convinced. As the saying goes, the mouth of a man who has eaten his food is soft, and this is the truth now.
Not to mention that Lin Yi said yesterday that he could teach Xiao D many more dishes than just braised pork, and there were even dishes that tasted better than braised pork, which caused the generals to have a rare collective expectation.
As for the message sent by Xiao D, he earnestly hoped that Lin Yi could go to the military cafeteria to have breakfast this morning.
"Little D has specially applied for the best nutrient solution for you, and is waiting for you to come and enjoy it."
Lin Yi felt that if he could reply to Xiao A's message now, he should be able to tell Xiao A that he was actually living better on the deserted planet than on the capital planet.
But I guess Xiao A won’t believe it.
Lin Yi first replied to Song Qinsong: "You don't have to come to pick me up, Xiao D will take me to the military cafeteria, and we will meet there."
Song Qinsong replied immediately: "Are you eating braised pork in the morning?"
Early in the morning, when Lin Yi saw the three words "braised pork", he felt a disgusting taste in his mouth.
Why eat big fish and meat in the morning? Of course, you have to eat light in the morning. This is also an important reason why he went to the military cafeteria now. Let Xiao D make a bun or a dumpling, which one is better than braised pork
"Don't eat braised pork, eat something else."
At 7:15, Xiao D's car appeared downstairs of the crew's dormitory on time.
The car was huge in size, with four big words "Military Canteen" written on one side of the car.
Many passers-by showed strange expressions, and some were wondering why the military canteen’s car appeared here.
The first scene this morning was with Li Xingzhou. Since director Fred insisted on doing everything himself as much as possible and using as few special effects as possible, the actors were much more tired during the filming.
Li Xingzhou had to get up at six in the morning to put on makeup and prepare for the shoot, and he hadn't seen any sign of the nutrient solution until this point.
This brings us back to the crew's food supply. The food supply on the deserted planet is actually sufficient. There is a self-sufficient ecosystem here that is independent of the empire's overall supply system. Even if it is cut off from the outside world, there will be no problems.
If the crew's meals were provided by the First Corps, Li Xingzhou and other leading actors would have had their meals long ago. The problem was that the crew of "Into the Badlands" did not get permission to shoot at first, and it was later that director Fred used his connections to get permission.
The food supply on the barren planet was actually not discussed with the First Legion. The First Legion did not welcome the crew's arrival in the first place, let alone arrange food for them. They directly rejected them with the food supply exclusively for soldiers.
The crew can only order nutrient solution from outside, and the spaceship loaded with nutrient solution that was supposed to arrive on the deserted planet at the same time as them encountered some problems on the way. They were just notified that the nutrient solution will be delivered about half a day later than expected, which means that not only breakfast is gone, but even lunch today is in jeopardy.
At this time, the car from the military cafeteria stopped, which made the crew members very hopeful. Especially the assistant of the second male lead Li Xingzhou, a beta, who had been scolded for trying to appease Li Xingzhou's temper all morning, and now she just hoped that this car was coming to solve her urgent problem.
Speaking of Li Xingzhou, his status is actually the highest in the entire crew. He debuted for ten years, and most of the early starring roles were popular dramas about love and romance. In recent years, there have been more young newcomers in the circle, and he also felt the pressure of transformation, so he prepared to take on the drama "The Wasteland". However, it was not very smooth at the time, because the drama was intercepted by Lin Yi halfway through.
It was embarrassing not to have a role that was taken away by a newcomer. Even though the role ended up in Li Xingzhou's hands because of Lin Yi's own problems, the feeling was completely different from getting it directly.
Li Xingzhou had a bad temper and was not very popular. Many people teased him about this matter behind his back, which made him even more depressed.
"That car must be here to deliver breakfast to us. Why don't you go and get my portion?" He sat on the swivel chair and looked at his assistant in the mirror with impatience.
The assistant responded and ran out quickly. Just as he was about to knock on the car door to ask the person inside, he saw the door on the other side open. Then he saw Lin Yi got in the car from that side and the car drove away.
Not only the assistant was stunned, but also the other onlookers who wanted to get closer to take a look were stunned.
The assistant looked around and found Archie in the first row of the crowd. He frowned and asked, "Why did this car just drive away? Isn't the food on it our breakfast?"
Archie said, "It shouldn't be. This is a military car. We haven't received any notification."
"Then who got up there?" The assistant's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
Archie spread his hands. He knew where to ask. With a gloomy look, he followed the military cafeteria's car until it disappeared from his sight.
The assistant had no choice but to go back to the dressing room and explain the situation to the dark-faced Li Xingzhou. Not surprisingly, he was almost hit on the foot by the teacup thrown by Li Xingzhou.
The most emotionally stable person in the entire dressing room is the male lead Chen Qiaoxu. He debuted early, but he started as a child star. He is now one year younger than Li Xingzhou, and is famous for his lukewarm temper.
At this moment, Chen Qiaoxu was holding a cup of hot tea, drinking it while watching a video of braised pork. He was in a good mood as he was eating water to fill his stomach, and he didn't notice that Li Xingzhou was angry at all.
Back to Lin Yi, he was currently in the car heading towards the military cafeteria.
He was the only one in the car, and Xiao D was talking to him through the car's smart system. It took about fifteen minutes to drive from here. Lin Yi first told Xiao D how to knead the dough and prepare the fillings, and Xiao D then projected the real-time screen in front of Lin Yi.
By the time Lin Yi arrived, Xiao D had already kneaded the bun and dumpling skins into shape, and had prepared several fillings. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the equivalent of three dumplings.
On weekdays, the military cafeteria was basically empty at this time. Most people would choose to just drink nutrient solution in the morning to get by. But after the meal last night, the cafeteria really hooked the souls of the generals.
Together with some officers who did not come last night and heard the news later, the military cafeteria welcomed its busiest time in history early in the morning. Lin Yi stepped onto the steps and looked up to see that the room was full and everyone was sitting neatly.
Song Qinsong was sitting in a row near the outside. When he saw Lin Yi at a glance, he immediately stood up and came out to greet him.
Lin Yi asked him: "What are you waiting for?"
Song Qinsong said, "Wait for food."
"What to eat?" Lin Yi looked at the air on the table in front of them, not knowing what to say.
Song Qinsong said, "I just wanted to ask you, what are we going to eat in the morning? D-Type One didn't tell us, and didn't let us in."
In addition, Song Qinsong cut out some of Xiao D's cursing during their communication. In fact, the original words of Xiao D, the anti-general intelligence brain that is currently judged by the generals to be very problematic, are: "Who said that eating poop is better than eating what I cook?! You all go eat poop, don't even think about eating a bite of my food!"
This was the form of the intelligent brain that was full of vengeance after yesterday's braised pork meal. Unfortunately, those negative reviews were written by the generals themselves, and they couldn't even refute them. The only thing they could do was to endure it.
Just as Lin Yi was about to speak, the kitchen doors that had been repaired beside him and Song Qinsong opened, and Xiao D rushed out like a gust of wind: "Sir, you are here, please come in!"
Song Qinsong followed Lin Yi and wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by Xiao D, who said in a cold tone: "No outsiders are allowed to enter."
In order to have a bite of food, Song Qinshuang swallowed his anger and walked out with his lips pursed.
The kitchen door opened and closed.
The scene in the kitchen at this moment was quite different from that of last night. It was more like an assembly line factory. Several machine shells that looked similar to Xiao D but were all controlled by Xiao D were kneading dough and making stuffing skillfully.
It can be seen that despite his big talk, Xiao D still prepared food for everyone outside.
Lin Yi drank the nutrient solution in the kitchen and watched Xiao D make dumplings and buns. After personally verifying that they were qualified, he left the kitchen and handed everything over to Xiao D, who was deeply encouraged after listening to Lin Yi's words.
"What are we having for dinner today?" Lin Yi walked outside, and before he could sit down, Song Qinsong asked him again.
Others around were also looking at him.
Little D has full control over the cafeteria. The screen in the cafeteria has been playing Lin Yi's clips from "Where Are We From" on a loop since early this morning. He is like a fanboy and he wants to make Lin Yi a god.
Those who didn't get to eat the braised pork last night looked at Lin Yi with extra eagerness. If any other omega was stared at like this by a group of military alphas, they would probably be scared to death. Only Lin Yi could sit down and answer Song Qinsong's questions calmly.
"Sour soup dumplings and big meat buns." Lin Yi said.
“Better than braised pork?”
"It's probably similar to braised pork." Lin Yi thought about it.
He raised his hand to check the time and said, "Why don't you take me to the training ground first? I should be able to catch up when I get back."
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the officers around Song Qinsong immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, Lin Yi's matter is important, you should send him over first.
After all, one less person means one less mouth to feed, and Song Qinshuang fought hard for meat last night.
Song Qinsong wanted to punch them all: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking."
He was struggling when he suddenly remembered something. He looked at his personal terminal, and then his eyes lit up and he quickly sent a message. After a while, Song Qinsong smiled at Lin Yi with a relieved expression, "I called a ride for you. It will be here in 30 seconds."
"Okay." It didn't matter to Lin Yi whose car he got in, so he stood up and walked out.
After he left, a colleague asked Song Qinsong, "Who did you call for a ride at this hour? The training ground that Lin Yi wants to go to is not accessible to ordinary soldiers, right?"
Song Qinsong smiled slightly, and spoke clearly, "The Marshal's ride."
Upon hearing this, his colleagues had to give Song Qinsong a thumbs up no matter how dissatisfied they were.
It's also for a bite of food, but this is called courage and determination, and you will definitely deserve a few more bites later.
Lin Yi walked down the stairs and saw a flying vehicle coming towards him from afar. He looked around and guessed that it was this flying vehicle, so he stepped closer.
When the aircraft stopped, the side door slowly opened towards Lin Yi.
The aircraft is all black and is about the size of a double-decker bus. The exterior lines are very smooth and sharp, and the Williams family crest is printed on one side of the aircraft.
When Lin Yi saw the family emblem, he knew who the ride belonged to.
The door of the aircraft slowly opened, confirming Lin Yi's guess. Qin Nuo was sitting in the simply decorated cabin.
Qin Nuo raised his head and saw Lin Yi, with a hint of surprise on his face, as if he didn't expect that he was the one hitchhiking.
In fact, in order to fool Qin Nuo, Song Qinsong did not explain things clearly to Qin Nuo.
Lin Yi's pace did not change. After entering the cabin, he smiled at Qin Nuo: "Good morning, Marshal."
The hatch had slowly closed at this time and flew back into the sky.
"Good morning." Qin Nuo adjusted his expression.
When Song Qinsong asked for a ride, he thought it was Song Qinsong himself, and had no idea that the other party was referring to Lin Yi, an omega.
Even though Qin Nuo had immediately retracted his pheromones, there was still some lingering smell in the cabin. Lin Yi confirmed it and it was indeed a faint, moist grass scent.
Compared with Qin Nuo's tough guy image, this is an unexpectedly gentle taste.
"The military cafeteria offers a new type of breakfast today. Don't you want to try it?" Lin Yi took the initiative to talk to Qin Nuo.
Qin Nuo’s impression of omegas is actually not very positive.
It's not that he has any stereotypes against omegas, but the omegas who have flocked to him like bees and butterflies since he became an adult, all staring at him and rolling in bed with him, have left him with a big psychological trauma.
Being able to share a room so peacefully with a young, unfamiliar omega like he was doing now was something he had never imagined before.
"I'm used to drinking nutrient solution." Qin Nuo said, his voice inevitably sounding a little unfamiliar and stiff.
"You don't have to control your pheromones," Lin Yi suddenly said.
Qin Nuo looked at Lin Yi, his face was calm, but he was a little nervous inside. From experience, he knew that when his pheromones were mentioned, what followed was usually not something he liked to hear.
Basically, all of them were dirty words directed at me, the kind that made Qin Nuo's scalp tingle.
"My glands have been permanently damaged, and I can no longer experience any emotional fluctuations or physiological reactions due to pheromones, so you don't have to restrain yourself. In addition," Lin Yi smiled and praised generously, "your pheromones smell good, like the scent of grass after rain."
"The scent of grass after the rain?" Qin Nuo was surprised.
Only omegas and alphas have obvious pheromone smells, but generally speaking, few people pay attention to what a person's pheromones smell like, because it is difficult to strip away the impact of pheromones on people's emotions and just look at the pheromones themselves.
Qin Nuo himself had no idea what his pheromones smelled like.
Lin Yi nodded: "Yeah, it smells good."
Qin Nuo's heartstrings seemed to be gently plucked by Lin Yi. Lin Yi was very strange, so strange that it made him feel relieved. Qin Nuo tried to relax a little and released some pheromones. When he saw that Lin Yi was still sitting there calmly without blushing or beating his heart, Qin Nuo completely relaxed.
Smelling the gradually stronger scent of grass in the air, Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly.
During the short journey ahead, the two of them didn't say anything. It was quiet all the way, but Qin Nuo felt more and more at ease.
It was not until Lin Yi got off the aircraft that Qin Nuo came to his senses. The time that he had expected to feel long actually passed unexpectedly quickly.
The aircraft took off again. Qin Nuo finished reading a document in his hand, and looked across the desk in the middle at the seat where Lin Yi had sat before. Somehow, he suddenly searched for Lin Yi on his personal terminal.
Clicking on the video-related content, the first one is "Where Do We Come From", and the second one is the interview of Lin Yi by a reporter a few days before the show.
Qin Nuo clicked on the second video.
"A person's life should not be determined by whether he is A or B or O, and certainly not by whether he can reproduce..."
Under the real-life projection, when Lin Yi said these words, it was as if he was sitting opposite Qin Nuo. The confidence on his face was so conspicuous, like a shining star that could not be ignored.
Qin Nuo's eyes couldn't help but follow Lin Yi's face with every change in his expression until the video ended and the whole picture stopped abruptly.
"You will never be able to become Marshal Qin Nuo's spouse in this life."
"Want a bet?"
Becoming Qin Nuo's spouse is probably the dream of many people in the empire, but this is the first time someone has said such words in public, and even Qin Nuo himself can't hate it.
Lin Yi was like a ray of light beyond common sense and elusive that flashed before Qin Nuo's eyes. It was so fresh and caught Qin Nuo's attention from that moment on.
