Chapter 705: Chapter 370: Thank You (5 in 1)
The next morning.
A two-story villa built with white Crystal Rock, complete with a 50-square-meter garden, slowly opened its doors.
Su Ming, in gray casual clothes, walked out from the house. He didn’t wear his major’s uniform since he had to clean the toilets at night.
He walked out the door, heading to the villa next door, and pressed the doorbell.
Ding-dong!
About a dozen seconds later, Su Ming heard some movement inside the house.
Soon after, the door opened, and Su Yuan came out wearing pajamas, yawning, and said to Su Ming.
“Why so early? We were cleaning toilets until two in the morning last night.”
“It’s not too early. If we’re late again today, Admiral Taite will definitely skin us alive.”
Su Ming spoke to Su Yuan.
“Uh, then we better get going.”
Su Yuan shivered and instantly woke up upon hearing Su Ming’s words.
“You’re just going like this? Not changing clothes? Are you looking for Admiral Taite to scold you again?”
Su Ming sighed and said.
“Uh, wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
Su Yuan hurried back inside.
Su Ming patiently waited at the door.
At this moment, his wristband buzzed, and Su Ming instinctively raised it to look.
“Honorable Quasi-General Su Ming, please proceed to the advanced class on the 6th floor of the Cosmic Army Headquarters Building before 9:00 am.”
After reading, Su Ming dismissed the message.
Su Ming suddenly noticed that his inbox was filled with many unread messages, so he opened it to browse.
He saw several messages from Lin Chuyu asking about his situation and whether he needed help.
Su Ming pondered for a moment and replied to Lin Chuyu, telling her he was fine, just busy lately, and would visit her once he was free.
Suddenly, Su Ming noticed two messages from the Military Department sitting in his inbox, sent a month ago.
Su Ming curiously opened the messages.
“Honorable Quasi-General Su Ming, your Military Merit Points for the Heart of Sky Base campaign have been settled. Congratulations, you have received 3,000 Military Merit Points….”
“Honorable Quasi-General Su Ming, your application for 3,000 Military Merit Points has been approved. Congratulations, you have received 3,000 Military Merit Points.”
Su Ming was a bit surprised; his Military Merits had finally arrived.
It seems the Legion Commander returned and helped them with the application, truly impressive.
At this moment, Su Yuan came out with his clothes changed and saw Su Ming standing with his head down, staring at the wristband, so he approached him curiously.
“I’m ready. What are you looking at?”
“I’m looking at the distributed Military Merits.”
Su Ming replied calmly.
“Military Merits? Show me.”
Su Yuan was taken aback and immediately leaned in with interest.
When he saw the information on the wristband, Su Yuan was utterly astonished and said.
“Whoa, 3,000 Military Merit Points; my biggest haul was only 500 points. Are you robbing? No wait, and your Military Merits aren’t discounted at all? Dude, which big shot are you hanging out with? Lemme join, I’ll carry their shoes!”
“Is it that exaggerated?”
Su Ming replied nonchalantly.
“Outrageous, you’re too Versailles. Our Military Merits are accumulated over multiple applications, little by little, never this much, and are all deducted to the point of nothing! I finally understand how you reached Major General at twenty; getting thousands of Military Merit Points at once, not getting promoted would be odd!”
Su Yuan exclaimed with great feeling.
“Forget it, let’s go.”
Su Ming turned off his wristband and said to Su Yuan.
“Alright.”
Su Yuan replied enviously.
….
Half an hour later, Su Ming and Su Yuan arrived at the advanced class and pushed open the door to enter.
They saw before them a trapezoid classroom of over a thousand square meters, where a thousand chairs were neatly arranged with a podium at the front.
Yet, the vast classroom was void, with only 8 Quasi-Generals sitting in the front row. Each sat separately, seeming uninterested in engaging with anyone.
Seeing this, Su Ming intended to head towards the five Quasi-Generals on the left.
Su Yuan grabbed Su Ming back and said to him.
“Don’t go there; we’re on the Nobles’ side. Approaching them will only lead to boredom; they won’t acknowledge you.”
“Fine!”
On hearing Su Yuan’s advice, Su Ming followed him towards the three Nobles-born Quasi-Generals.
When Su Ming and Su Yuan sat beside them, the three Quasi-Generals stood up and moved aside, sporting a look of great disdain.
Seeing this, Su Yuan’s face turned as black as charcoal, extremely embarrassed, losing all face.
Su Ming helplessly lowered his voice and asked Su Yuan.
“How unwelcome are you?”
“Bah, I don’t care to welcome them either.”
Su Yuan replied in a foul mood.
Su Ming thoughtfully asked Su Yuan.
“They seem to know you; you must be quite famous?”
“Of course, I’m well-known.”
“Then you must know them, too?”
“Barely, yes.”
Su Yuan replied begrudgingly.
Su Ming scrutinized the three men; the one on the far left resembled Su Yuan’s age, had black short hair, looked decent, and although he wore no luxury accessories, he had a very rare, beautiful starlit watch on his left wrist.
The man in the middle kept his arms crossed over his chest, showing a proud demeanor, with a hooked nose, not appearing easy to approach.
The last man was skinny, pale-skinned, and had fierce eyes, clearly not the amicable type.
Su Ming then, quite interested, spoke to Su Yuan.
