522: Chapter 445: Sudden Change 522: Chapter 445: Sudden Change “Of course it’s real, would I lie to you?
Here’s the Promotion Order and a new work badge, they want you to report this afternoon.”
Vanla took out a document and a new work badge.
Billy also congratulated her, knowing that moving from a reserve member to an alternate member was akin to a carp leaping over the dragon gate—not just a change in status but, in a sense, becoming part of the core forces of the Federation.
“Thanks, I better get going then.”
Karina happily expressed her gratitude.
“Alright, go on with your busy day.”
Billy nodded and responded.
Shortly after, Karina and Venla walked out of the Biochemical Laboratory, and Venla said excitedly to Karina, “Hey, you’ve been promoted to an alternate member haha.
From now on, you’ll have to look out for me, and I heard there are many handsome guys among the alternates.
Don’t forget your sisters then!”
“What are you thinking?
My promotion to alternate member is for better participation in battles, not for flirting with handsome guys.”
Karina responded with a laugh.
“Well, I want them if you don’t.”
Thinking further, Venla grew even more excited; it was a gold mine in there!
“Alright, enough kidding around.
Did you hear anything about Su Mo?”
Karina suddenly remembered and asked since she had been busy lately and had asked Venla to somewhat inquire about it.
With a doubtful look, Venla responded, “Why are you so interested in this?
Don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to that guy?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?
It’s because you ripped him off with that expensive meal.
We should at least have some integrity and help him out a bit.”
Karina responded with a laugh.
Feeling a bit awkward, Venla replied, “That was a misunderstanding—I thought he was pursuing you. This content belongs to NoveIꜰire.net
Who knew he actually mistook you for someone else.
As for that matter, I asked several sisters, and they all said there’s no such person in the existing records.
Either this ‘Ye Xue’ has a high-profile identity that’s classified, or she might no longer be in the GT department.”
Karina nodded, understanding there’s nothing to be done if they couldn’t find anything.
“Let’s not dwell on this.
I heard there are several young and handsome guys among the alternates!”
“Who’s been feeding you lies?
As far as I know, many of them are battle-hardened uncles.”
“Uncles work too; I’m not picky.”
——————————————————————–
Area G5, Karina, dressed in formal attire, walked in holding the Promotion Order.
At the entrance, the guard soldier verified Karina’s documents and new Identity Card, then saluted her.
“Commander, please come in!”
Karina took a deep breath, calming her fluctuating emotions as she entered.
Area G5 is where the alternate members are active.
Compared to other areas, it is more spacious, with comparatively fewer personnel, but the facilities are much better.
Not long after Karina entered,
a tall man about 2.1 meters with a face covered in scars walked towards her.
“Big brother Towes, you’re here too!”
“Yeah, long time no see.
I didn’t expect you to get promoted to alternate member so soon.
It’s really impressive!”
“You flatter me, Brother Towes.
Compared to you all, I’m just a newbie and will rely on your guidance.”
“Enough with the formalities, let me show you around.
This isn’t like the reserve forces; there are far fewer people here.”
Towes led Karina inside.
Coming from the Violent Bear Guild, they naturally knew each other well and would naturally look out for one of their own.
“How many alternate members do we have in total?”
Karina asked curiously.
“So far, there are twenty-two alternate members, counting you it makes twenty-three.
But within these twenty-two, there are different ranks such as core formal alternates like me.
I am Grevs’ Biological Mecha standby.
Lin Ming, he’s Wang Hai’s standby, and Victor, he’s Shiris’s standby.
Oh, and there’s one more person, recently joined as well, called Qian Chengxue; although she joined just a few days before you, she’s already the standby for Hai Mo.
Plus, she’s different from us as she’s quite powerful on her own, and is one of the few in the alternates who can independently operate a Generation IV Biological Mecha…”
Towes briefly outlined the overall situation to Karina.
Karina was genuinely surprised.
“Exactly, and she’s about your age too.
So, now that you’re promoted to an alternate member, you’ll need to work hard and try to catch up to her.”
Karina nodded firmly.
“Of course, don’t feel too pressured; take things slowly.
Another thing, once you’re an alternate member, you’ll find you have a lot more free time.
You can manage your own schedule.
But that means you’ll need to be more self-disciplined and not neglect your training.”
Karina nodded deeply.
After a while, Towes finished giving Karina an overview of the alternates’ department.
“Besides the alternate members, we also have specially appointed reserve members who serve us elites.
You can ask them for anything; they will follow our commands unconditionally.”
If not, I’ll be on my way.”
“Big brother Towes, could you wait a moment?”
Karina suddenly remembered something and asked.
