He Yingjie

Biodata

Background / History

Military Career

He Yingjie earned his second-lieutenant rank through battlefield achievements. According to Luo Yingtong, his strength and accumulated military merits had long been sufficient for promotion to first lieutenant, but his poor reputation and opposition from other military personnel kept him from advancing 84 87.

He previously pursued logistics captain Miao Ruijia. After she rejected him, their conflict escalated into recurring disputes between their teams, frequently requiring intervention from other officers 83 85.

Conflict with the Military Academy Interns

When Xu Jintang and the other interns arrived at the logistics compound, He Yingjie’s group was already fighting Miao Ruijia’s team. He used a mass boulder attack during the brawl. A patrolling second lieutenant eventually stopped both sides; He Yingjie maintained that his group had merely asked for food, while Miao accused them of exploiting logistics personnel 82 83.

Later that day, he confronted Xu Jintang over her defeat of one of his subordinates. He ordered his men to take her and Yan Yuting away, intending to make Miao Ruijia come and beg for their release. Zhu Xiangming’s attempt to intervene failed, but the students invoked their protective, peak-seventh-tier homeroom teacher, and Miao arrived to confront him 84.

He Yingjie dodged Miao’s thrown machete and withdrew after a subordinate warned him about the consequences of a formal complaint. Miao reported the incident, and he was sentenced to clean the camp for a week 85.

False Cheating Accusation

After Xu Jintang defeated a first-tier Flowing Fire Lizard, He Yingjie supported Zhou Yu’s accusation that the logistics team had drugged the beast. Even after medical tests returned negative results, he insisted that they might have used an undetectable method 86.

Captain Song ruled that he had falsely accused the logistics team and required compensation. He Yingjie surrendered a valuable Tongbao Spirit Realm token to Xu Jintang. Miao later explained that this payment spared him a punishment that would otherwise have cost him his rank; the token’s uncertain usefulness made surrendering it preferable to demotion 86 87.

Underground Tomb Expedition

Captain Song assigned He Yingjie and Miao Ruijia to investigate an underground passage exposed near the city. He Yingjie initially argued that the frontline team could handle the mission alone, but Song insisted that logistics personnel accompany them because healing and support might be essential against high-tier beasts 93.

He Yingjie led the initial descent. After separating from Miao’s group, his team became trapped with a statue comparable to a sixth-tier ability user. They destroyed it together without fatalities, but almost everyone was injured. Unwilling to risk further traps, they remained in a safe section to recover 94 95.

Miao and Xu Jintang returned with Frontline Team Two to rescue them. He Yingjie questioned both their route and the decision to let a military academy student guide the evacuation. He nevertheless followed after Miao explained that Xu Jintang’s detection ability had already brought her team out safely. Once they reached the exit, he complied with Miao’s instruction to have his team carry out the remaining treasure chests 95 96.

Appearance

• Face: Bears a conspicuous knife scar 82.
• Complexion: Rough, dark skin 82.
• Eyes: Described as holding a faint gleam 82.
• Tomb injuries: Returns from the expedition with visible facial wounds 95 96.

Personality

He Yingjie is petty and vindictive, carrying his resentment toward Miao Ruijia into repeated confrontations with her team. Zhu Xiangming specifically warns the interns that he remembers those who stand up to him. He also uses his rank to intimidate others, dismissing Zhu’s mediation and claiming authority to punish the students whenever he pleases 84 85.

His hostility does not prevent calculated retreats. He withdraws when a complaint to Captain Song becomes likely and gives up a valuable token rather than risk losing his rank. During the tomb rescue, he reluctantly accepts help from the same people he had antagonized 85 86 87 96.
