“Qi Qiu, you just don’t get it, do you?
This is what you call ‘reverse thinking,’ get it?
Everyone knows that the Federation guys are most likely to make their move in that area.
Don’t you think the Federation knows that everyone will be focusing their search there?
Besides, even if we follow the main force there, if we really find the Federation troops, at most we’ll only get a tiny bit of residual credit.
What’s the use in that?
We might as well try our luck in this godforsaken place.”
Matko said disdainfully.
“Fine, you have a point.
Looks like the fuel expenses for the ship this time will be wasted.
Get ready to go back and starve.”
Qi Qiu couldn’t be bothered to argue with Matko anymore, this guy always did whatever he thought of.
At that moment, a chubby young man controlling the ship spoke up, puzzled.
“That’s weird!”
“What’s the matter, Ante?”
Matko immediately sat up and looked at his companion.
“Boss, I was just confirming our course and observing optically when I noticed something wasn’t right.”
“What do you mean by ‘not right’?”
“It’s like the stars were being blocked by something.”
“Which part of the sky?”
“This part of the sky, it’s back to normal now.”
Ante pointed to a patch of dark sky.
Matko’s expression changed rapidly before he spoke.
“Qi Qiu, you guys come with me to do some reconnaissance!”
“Okay.”
Qi Qiu and the others immediately responded with stern expressions.
Wind Moving · Residential Area.
Su Ming opened the door to his room and walked out, coming face to face with Rhein and others.
“Squad leader, you’re up.”
“Yeah.”
Su Ming nodded slightly.
“What are we doing today?”
Rhein and others immediately asked.
“Inside the Emperor, because there are too many people, there isn’t a large enough training space, so no training!”
Su Ming thought for a moment before saying.
“So, do we get a day off?”
Rhein and the others suddenly brightened up.
“Just do whatever you want, but don’t relax too much.
Be prepared for emergencies.”
Su Ming instructed Rhein and others.
“Alrighty!”
Rhein nodded.
Su Ming then left Wind Moving and headed to the Emperor’s temporary office for officers.
Though there wasn’t much happening now, the officers still had to be on duty.
It wasn’t long before Su Ming arrived at the office.
As he pushed the door open and walked in,
he saw Kaff, Shu’en, Curia, and others, all gathered and chatting.
As soon as Curia and the others saw Su Ming enter, they quickly beckoned him over.
“Su Ming, you’re here.
Come and join us for a chat!”
“What are you all discussing so enthusiastically?”
Su Ming walked over and asked with a smile.
“We’re discussing our return voyage.”
“What’s there to talk about with the return voyage.”
“The return voyage is not the issue.
It’s after returning, concerning the application for Military Merit Points!”
Curia explained to Su Ming.
“Is there a problem with the application for Military Merit Points?”
Su Ming curiously regarded Curia and others.
“Brother Su Ming, those two departments, the military and the council, are ruthless.
They will definitely slash our applied Military Merit Points.
We can’t just sit back and wait to die!
These Merit Points are the result of us risking our lives for them, and such chances to earn them are rare.”
Major Chen Ying explained to Su Ming.
“I know about this problem, but there isn’t much we can do.”
Su Ming replied with a laugh.
“That’s why we’ve gathered together, to see who has connections to help us smooth things out, so they don’t cut so deep.”
Ye Hai explained the reason to Su Ming.
“Oh, I see.”
Su Ming suddenly realized after hearing this.
“Listen, we are all from the same corps, and we have shared life and death on the battlefield.
It’s okay to call each other brothers, right?”
Curia asked everyone.
“No problem!”
Shu’en and Hejassi nodded in agreement.
“So, if anyone has any connections, let’s pool our efforts.
We must defend our Merit Points fiercely!”
Curia passionately told the others.
“That makes sense.”
Everyone agreed.
At that moment, Major Aragon looked at Kaff, curiously asking.
“Kaff, which family do you belong to?”
Kaff spoke gravely.
“I’m from the Domodic Family.”
“Wow, the Domodic Family?
I remember a lot of your family members are council members, right?”
Chen Ying asked, surprised.
“Yes, our family holds a seat in the council and has quite a few council members.”
“Then on the council’s side, Major Kaff, please put in more good words for us!”
Curia and the others earnestly requested.
“I’ll do my best.”
Kaff didn’t push back and promised straightforwardly.
“By the way, Su Ming, you’re so capable, what does your family do?”
Major Ye Hai eagerly asked Su Ming.
“Yeah, which family are you from?”
Everyone curiously looked at Su Ming.
Being so young to have achieved the rank of major, and also so strong, there were rumors of him having connections.
With all these conditions combined, his background must be extraordinarily strong!
Su Ming felt embarrassed upon hearing this.
His family’s status was similar to Kaff’s, and Kaff was still active.
Even if his grandfather had a big brother above him, it probably wouldn’t be enough to influence the council and military auditors.
“Don’t beat around the bush, just tell us!”
Curia urged with a smile.
“I’m from Thunder Interstellar Heavy Industry Group, my grandfather is Su Zhen Tian.”
