In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

Xiaosan was stunned for a moment, "Um..." He hesitated to speak, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Ani was silent for a long time, then said firmly, "Let me make it clear first. If you join the Survey Corps, our relationship will end here."

"How could that be?" Xiaosan smiled gently, "You think too much, Ani." As he said that, he gently touched Ani's head.

Ani didn't resist, but just lowered her head slightly, a blush on her face. "I hope so."

Three days later, the sun was shining brightly and the trainees returned to the training corps' playground in high spirits.

Under the scorching sun, the 104th batch of trainees lined up neatly.

Instructor Keith stood tall and proud at the front, giving a lecture and announcing the matter. "Trainer Kozo Lance, 104th Training Corps, has distinguished himself and has been invited by the Survey Corps to complete his training early."

When the news came out, everyone was shocked.

People often think of those who want to join the Survey Corps as having these characteristics: an extreme desire for freedom, extreme ideology, and often a sad past... or reasons like a desire for revenge.

Takashi San does not meet any of the above requirements.

He has a very good personality and his behavior is almost perfect; in daily life, he does not express hatred for the giants or radical ideas such as "kill all the giants" like Allen does.

In short, no one can understand Kozo's motives for joining the Survey Corps. Without any signs...

Jean glanced at Xiao San, who was called out of the group, in shock, his eyes full of disbelief. 'That guy... couldn't be real?' He muttered to himself, with a complicated expression on his face.

Among them, Annie was the most shocked. Her eyes widened as she stared blankly at Kozo, her face filled with shock and bewilderment... Witnessing Kozo leave with two Survey Corps soldiers, Annie's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Only Alan's face was filled with admiration, his eyes sparkling with longing.

During dinner, Allen vowed, "I want to join the Survey Corps as soon as possible. I don't want to waste time here."

The cafeteria was bustling with activity. Everyone was discussing Takashi San's joining the Survey Corps, with voices rising and falling one after another.

Beside Jean, Connie's face was filled with confusion. He frowned, resting his chin on his hand, and muttered, "I really don't understand. Why would he go to such a dangerous place? He must be in the top 10 for sure, right? The Survey Corps is just going to die there."

The sound of discussion could be heard from afar.

"I heard that the Military Police and the Garrison Corps have also sent invitations."

"awesome."

When Jean, who was eating, heard these words, his face became darker and darker, and he held the spoon in his hand tightly, as if he wanted to crush it.

He was envious of Xiaosan. Handsome, capable, surrounded by beautiful women... He was so eccentric that he ended up joining the Military Police Corps and heading inland with the highest score in the training corps. He wasn't angry at all, believing it was what Xiaosan deserved. Excellent people deserved a good life.

Jean pretended to be loud and said, "I think that guy is completely mentally ill. Actually, it's better this way. There is one less competitor. Anyway, the number of places to join the gendarmerie is limited." His voice sounded particularly harsh in the cafeteria.

The noise in the cafeteria suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at him.

Christa lowered her head completely, her golden hair obscuring her expression, and only tears could be vaguely seen sliding down her face.

Seeing this, Ymir couldn't bear it any longer and was about to stand up, but Allen spoke first, "You coward, stop disgusting others with your dirty ideas. Not everyone wants to be a livestock hiding in a pigsty like you."

A fierce altercation ensued between Alan and Jean... They glared at each other, neither yielding, their mouths hurling curses. Alan's face flushed red as he waved his fists, while Jean, unflinching, puffed out his chest, ready for a fight.

Mikasa pulled Eren hard, and her powerful aura temporarily calmed the anger of both of them.

Ani slowly stood up and left. Her steps were heavy and her eyes were dull, as if she had lost her soul.

Bertolt, who was beside Reiner, kept his eyes on Annie unconsciously, his eyes showing concern and worry. Although Reiner touched his arm and reminded him that "this is an opportunity," the timid Bertolt still did not dare to show his feelings too obviously.

Although Christa and Ani were equally sad, they were treated very differently in the girls' dormitory.

Christa was adorable, always willing to help others, and her delicate appearance was endearing. Plus, she was "Takashi San's younger sister"... everyone loved her and took great care of her, always coming to coax her.

"Don't be sad. It's okay, it's okay ( ^_^)/(T_T ), Christa's brother is very strong, he will definitely be safe." Mina comforted Christa beside her.

Ani didn't get such treatment. She had a bad personality to begin with and didn't get along well with everyone. Becoming Takashi San's girlfriend made her the target of public criticism.

Ani sat alone on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the small ornament that Xiaosan had given her before, her heart filled with loss and sadness.

At this time, Hannah passed by and she deliberately raised her voice sarcastically and said, "Ah, it seems that some poor guy was dumped!" The sharp voice was still particularly harsh even in the noisy dormitory.

Copy side quest: You can’t survive without Zuo Ai!

Mission requirements: Play with Petra Zuoai 100 times (one time is counted as two people playing together)

Mission Reward: Golzan Fragment x1

As a member of the Survey Corps, Miss Petra exercises a lot, leaving her feet with a salty, dried-out smell of sweat and a sour, bacterial-derived odor. During missions beyond the Wall, wearing heavy boots further infuses her with a heavy, sweaty odor. Furthermore, since most of the time she's on the move, water is often inaccessible, leaving her skin constantly sticky.

Chapter 72:071 Levi, watch carefully, this is how Petra uses it (Part )

That day, Petra and Xiaosan had sex three times, and the British police went into the primary school to conduct random checks.

Initially, Petra's relationship with Xiaosan was purely for the sake of a mission. However, she eventually gave in to Xiaosan's sweet talk and persuasion, and reluctantly crossed the line... With the British police entering Belgium, Petra's last line of defense was no longer tenable.

The third day......

"Don't do this, it hurt me last time. And I also..."

Day 5...

"Don't be so rude, idiot."

Day 12...

"If I have it, then... you will be responsible for me, right?"

Although 12 days had already passed, the mission's "Zuo Ai Number of Times" was based on a "two-person superb" standard. However... the reality was that Petra had already superbly surpassed him several times, while Xiao San had only achieved one. Therefore, there were still many days left before the mission was successful.

Day 18...

Inside the office, Alvin had a serious expression on his face as he was earnestly explaining to Levi the task he was about to perform.

Levi frowned and asked, "Where's that brat? You just let him do what he wants?"

"That kid was able to independently kill a giant during the last investigation outside the wall." Alvin said casually, flipping through the documents in his hand with a focused and calm look.

"So what?" Levi asked impatiently.

As the "strongest human" of the Survey Corps, Levi doesn't even take Sanmao, who is second only to him in strength, seriously. He respects no one for their strength, but only their intelligence and knowledge, which he lacks.

Alvin opened the drawer and took out a stack of documents, "Come and take a look at this, Levi. You may be interested." He handed the document to Levi with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Levi took the document with an impatient look on his face and opened it. But gradually, his eyes turned into shock, his mouth slightly open. "This is... simply crazy."

The document was filled with handwriting, all of which were imaginative plans to annihilate the giants... some were bold and radical, and some were fantastical.

"Mad men?" Alvin said with a smile, "Are we also crazy in the eyes of others?" There was a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in his smile.

In the dormitory, today was Xiaosan's day off. He lay leisurely on his bed, his hands resting casually on the back of his head, his legs draped carelessly on a stool, looking quite relaxed.

Although he was still filled with guilt, '...Am I going too far?'

but......

Apparently, his body was honest.

This dormitory was simply furnished, with two bunk beds. The upper bunk was empty, showing no signs of occupancy, making it seem rather deserted.

Even so, this was a single-person dormitory. It was top-tier treatment in the Survey Corps. It was also a reward for Takashi San's use of those plans.

He knew very well that those plans were just "exaggerated PPTs" and whether they could be implemented was unclear.

Innocent young people are better at doing things seriously, while filthy adults are better at exploiting muddy waters to maximize their own profits. The former aren't morally sound, but rather lack the skills to cheat; the latter aren't bad, but rather, they've learned through experience, having learned many easier ways to make money in the dreary game "Earth Online," and naturally, they're no longer willing to retrace their old arduous marches. This is what happened to Takashi San.

PPTs aren't about professionalism. They're aimed at decision-makers. More precisely... the amount of expertise in a PPT depends on the knowledge base of the audience (the decision-makers) who are viewing it; it needs to satisfy them. PPTs are about painting a big picture. They start by painting a big picture, then lure investors in. With the money, they can recruit new staff, develop new products, and, worst case scenario, abscond with the money (crossed out).

The same principle applies in the military: if you are trusted by your superiors, you will be granted special powers that facilitate your actions.

Filial piety, three evils, and falling rate: 7%...

At this moment, the door suddenly creaked open, and a girl walked in holding a thick quilt.

"Petra?" Xiaosan stood up in surprise and asked in confusion.

"Don't get me wrong, this is Captain Alvin's order... Let me protect your safety and monitor your behavior." Petra said calmly, putting the quilt on the lower bunk... After closing the door, she sat directly next to Xiaosan, took his arm, and pressed her whole body against him, looking extremely intimate.

"Is that so?" Takashi San tilted his head slightly and could smell the faint, unique scent on Petra, like the fragrance of flowers and fruits, quiet and charming.

Xiaosan lay down directly on the bed, and Petra moved gently and snuggled gently in Xiaosan's arms, her face pressed against Xiaosan's chest, as if she had found a safe haven.

It may be the case that those who get a woman's body cannot get her soul; if a herbivore cannot even get a woman's body, he will never get her soul.

Petra gently stretched out her hand, and gently stroked Xiaosan's face with her slender fingers. She said with anticipation in her eyes: "Xiaosan, when are you going to accompany me to meet my parents?" Her voice was soft and sweet.

"Let's wait until the next vacation." Xiaosan said with a smile, his eyes full of pampering.

When Petra heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face. "It's settled." She took the initiative to move forward and kiss him.

Although they had only been doing it for less than 20 days, they had already tried every position and every place: in the woods, on tree trunks, in the carriage, in the utility room... Sometimes, Petra would even take the initiative to crawl under the table.

Due to the frequent frequency, Xiaosan has developed Petra's body to 100%.

As Levi passed by the door of Takashi's dormitory, the sounds coming from inside clearly reached his ears. His face instantly turned gloomy, full of disgust. "Tsk..." he squeezed out a dissatisfied snort from between his teeth, then quickened his pace and hurried away, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

After a long moment, Petra lay limply on the bed, her chest heaving violently, panting. Her body was already covered in sweat, and in the bright sunlight, beads of sweat could be vaguely seen gleaming, and even wisps of steam rose from her skin.

Petra rolled her eyes, her lips slightly parted, and she murmured weakly, "It's... so comfortable. After all, I still can't beat this feeling."

Chapter 73:072 Levi, watch carefully, this is how Petra plays (Part )

After Petra cleaned her octopus face, with a "suck" sound, Xiaosan in front of Petra stroked her face with satisfaction and wiped the corners of her mouth.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and Xiao San was putting on his coat with great effort. He looked down and saw the letter that had fallen on the floor.

During these days, Kozo would send letters to Christa and Ani. Christa would reply normally, but Ani hadn't replied a single time. He opened the letter and saw... it was Christa's reply, words filled with concern and longing for him. Looking further back, he saw Ymir's handwriting, crooked and difficult to read.

"No letter from Annie? It seems she's still angry with me... That's good, this way our relationship is over." As Takashi San murmured to himself, he suddenly felt a weight on his back.

Petra put her arms around his neck, rested her whole body on his back, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Who is this Ani you were talking about just now?" Petra stroked his face while looking at him deeply.

Xiao San looked flustered, but he quickly calmed down and explained to her, making up an excuse to get away with it.

"Really?" Petra blinked, and actually believed it. She pestered Xiao San and brought him back to the room, then slammed the door shut and continued their fight.

Ever since Petra moved in, she'd taken care of Xiaosan's every need, from preparing his meals to cleaning his clothes. She was truly adept at fulfilling her "wifely duties," allowing Xiaosan to feel the warmth of a long-lost family.

Day 35...

In the morning, Xiao San woke naturally in the warm sunshine. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the face of Petra sleeping peacefully in his arms. Her face was peaceful, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Although Xiaosan carefully pulled out his body, Petra still woke up in a daze. "Well, is it morning already?" She was sleepy and her voice was a little lazy.

"Well, time to get up, little lazy bum." Takashi San smiled and pinched Petra's cheek.

"Don't say that to me." Petra blushed slightly and glared at Xiao San. "No matter what, I'm still...older than you."

In the morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Petra was concentrating on packing Xiaosan's bag, her movements gentle and meticulous.

"Let me do it." Xiaosan said, reaching out to take the things from Petra's hand.

"You idiot, you have your own business. This kind of thing is supposed to be done by women," Petra scolded, not stopping her movements. "Just go about your business."

Production relations and productivity influence lifestyles. This world's productivity is still on the eve of the Industrial Revolution. If there had been no giants... no, even if Wall Maria had been breached, people would still be living a stable, peaceful life.

Just like modern Japan... its "conservatism" compared to other developed countries is based on the "lifetime employment system," which Japan introduced in 1918 and then implemented across Japanese companies. The "craftsmanship" and "loyalty" of these employees are similar to the strong sense of responsibility possessed by workers in state-owned factories in some countries, which is not difficult to understand. Of course, there are also those who hold the mentality that "good work, bad work, is no different," which is why the moral coercion and moral criticism of "shame culture" in the workplace are necessary.

On the contrary, in a society dominated by temporary workers, de-responsibility will become a trend in work, family, and daily life. Following Japan's economic stagnation, the middle class has begun to decline, and the proportion of temporary workers has also increased. The number and quality of Taikubo Parks are increasing.

Moral blackmail only works in a stable, comfortable society where people are constantly around each other. People instinctively prioritize social connections with those they spend time with and protect their ancestral home. Consequently, they are concerned about the opinions of others and their reputation. This was also true in traditional agricultural societies. However, temporary workers don't need to be so sensitive because they are strangers and don't care about what others think.

In this world, the physical disparity between men and women is enormous, and men virtually monopolize social and high-paying jobs. Men possess the ability to independently support their families and secure the necessities of life, while women must rely on men for survival. Naturally, women in this world are conditioned to follow their husbands and become full-time wives.

Afterward, beside the carriage, Petra folded her hands in front of her and, with a look of concern, told Xiaosan, "Be careful on your journey." Her eyes were filled with reluctance and worry, and she watched quietly as Xiaosan boarded the carriage and gradually departed. Her figure, standing there, looked like a wife seeing her husband off on a long journey, filled with attachment and deep affection.

At some point, the god Oruo had quietly arrived beside Petra. "He's just a little kid, why are you being so polite to him? Even though it's the captain's order, aren't you being too nice to him?" He said, tilting his head back to take a sip of water.

Petra's face instantly turned gloomy. "I have other things to do." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and deliberately stepped hard on Oruo, causing him to cry out in pain.

Kozo, arrogantly using the Survey Corps' name, lobbied powerful nobles and the underworld. With his eloquence, he promised high returns, and with this tactic, he actually managed to secure a significant amount of investment.
