Legendary Captain

Even though his flight was at 9 a.m., Xu Xian took the first bus in the morning to make sure he wouldn't be late. As a result, there was no traffic jam on the way, and he didn't have to wait long to transfer to another bus. He arrived at the company almost an hour earlier than the time for the breathalyzer test check-in.

The last time Xu Xian conducted a training flight at Xingfei Airlines' base, the breathalyzer test wasn't taken in Xingfei Airlines' preparation room, but in a special location. Therefore, in principle, Xu Xian has never seen a real, large-scale breathalyzer. Or, to be more precise, Xu Xian has never seen a large-scale breathalyzer, and has never even been to the flight preparation room.

Although he was trained according to Starfly Airlines' training program, he had almost never done pre-flight preparations with other Starfly Airlines flight trainees. The time requirements were quite lenient, which is the advantage of having connections. However, this also had its downsides, leaving Xu Xian completely unfamiliar with the arrival and departure procedures. Therefore, Xu Xian was still a little nervous for his first flight mission.

He used to have a large family business and powerful connections, so even if minor problems arose, there was always someone to bail him out. But now, no one helps him anymore. When problems arise, he has to bear them all on his own, but he no longer has the shoulders to shoulder those burdens.

The Xu family is now like a small boat riddled with holes, ready to capsize at any moment; even a small wave could overturn it.

Xingyou Airlines is currently renovating its flight preparation room. Xu Xian went to the lobby on the first floor but couldn't find the temporary flight preparation room. In the end, he even had to ask the receptionist of his own company for help before he could find the temporary flight preparation room.

The morning rush hour had passed, and there weren't many people in the cramped preparation room. Only one three-person crew was preparing at the table, dressed in uniform.

When Xu Xianchu arrived at the preparation room, he was completely clueless, but he remembered that he had to sign in for a breathalyzer test first. At the entrance to the flight preparation room, there was a machine about the height of a person with a horn-shaped mouthpiece on it, which seemed to be a large breathalyzer.

This was Xu Xian's first time seeing a large breathalyzer, and he had absolutely no idea how to use it. Did you just blow directly into the mouthpiece? And whose result would it be? At least some information should be entered, right?

However, how do you enter your information first, or how do you perform identity verification?

Xu Xian looked back and sized up the room, hoping to find someone with a kind face who could offer some guidance.

The three people in the flight preparation area were having a lively discussion. Meanwhile, behind a long table, some people, whose purpose was unclear, were either playing on their phones or yawning, not at all like concerned citizens.

Thinking that if a pilot didn't even know how to take a breathalyzer test and sign in, wouldn't he become a laughing stock? Xu Xian immediately abandoned the idea of ​​asking for help and decided to figure it out himself first.

To cope with this difficult challenge, Xu Xian even relaxed his limbs slightly. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was preparing for a 100-meter race!

Stroking his chin, Xu Xian began to carefully analyze the structure of the breathalyzer. Besides a prominent horn-shaped mouthpiece, the breathalyzer's panel had an input interface resembling a computer, with number buttons from zero to nine, and even an "OK" button.

What does this mean?

Furthermore, in addition to the numeric input interface, there is a scanning area on its right, similar to the rectangular scanning area used for scanning ID cards.

What does this mean?

The strangest thing is that, in addition to this, there is an object that looks like a camera embedded in the machine. Could it be that his every move is being monitored?

What exactly does this mean?

Xu Xian was a little annoyed. Why didn't they include an instruction manual on the machine? He had to figure out how to use it himself.

"Do I enter my ID number? My work ID number? Or my boarding pass number?" Xu Xian was furious. What kind of system is this? It's so inhumane!

Just as Xu Xian was scratching his head in frustration, he felt a push on his back. Turning around, he saw it was a passenger in the front passenger seat.

"Brother, why don't you let me go first? I'm almost due," the passenger said politely.

Xu Xian wasn't in a hurry and immediately gave up his seat: "You go first, I'm not in a rush!"

In this way, he can take the opportunity to see how others operate, and then copy them, and the problem will be solved.

Perfect! A victory in terms of intelligence!

But just as Xu Xian turned around, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The passenger in the front seat was already blowing into the mouthpiece, completely oblivious to what was happening ahead.

That's way too fast! In the time it took him to turn around, the passenger in the front seat had already completed his identity verification. Is it really okay for a man to be this fast?

Shortly after the passenger finished blowing into the breathalyzer, a "normal" voice report came out.

"Brother, I'm done, you can come now! Thanks!" The passenger in the front seat thanked Xu Xian after the breathalyzer test and left, leaving Xu Xian standing there, alone and adrift in the cold wind.

"No, no! I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Calm down, calm down!" Xu Xian clutched his chest, taking deep breaths repeatedly. He had almost suffered a heart attack.

When he first entered the aviation industry, he harbored the ambition of a hidden dragon soaring into the abyss. Although he didn't particularly like the industry, he was personally trained by Xu Qing, so wasn't he naturally destined to become a top figure in the field?

However, the truth is that a breathalyzer completely baffled Xu Xian. On the steps leading to the top, Xu Xian took his first step and fell flat on his face.

"Could it be that my heart isn't sincere enough?" Xu Xian wondered. "Should I go back and enshrine Uncle Qing's photo, and pray to him every day? Maybe I can absorb some of Uncle Qing's divine aura?"

As a pioneer of modern civil aviation, Xu Xian felt it necessary to frame Xu Qing's photo and worship him daily, praying that Xu Qing would bless his flying career with smooth sailing.

But this operation can only be done after returning home. What should I do now? I've already attracted attention by lingering in front of the breathalyzer for so long.
