The next morning.
The serene sunlight passed through the window, shining on Su Ming’s face.
Su Ming groggily opened his eyes, slowly lifted his wristband to check the time.
"10:11."
Su Ming suddenly became fully awake, sat up abruptly, realizing he had overslept again.
He immediately got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When he saw himself in the mirror, his expression suddenly sank; the blood streaks on his neck were exceptionally conspicuous.
It was evident that the reason he overslept was due to his body’s condition; he had always been very disciplined.
"Whew!"
Su Ming let out a deep breath.
Indeed, not everyone can pilot a Biological Mecha; driving it a few more times would definitely break down his body.
The side effects are truly severe.
"Sigh, it seems I still need to get a high-level Pure Mechanical Mecha first."
....
A moment later.
Su Ming walked out of the house.
As he headed towards the Cosmic Army Headquarters, he checked the information on his wristband.
Su Ming flipped through it but couldn’t find any reply from Irelia. She wasn’t seen when they were tallying the Star Storage achievements that day. Later during the vacation, he sent her several messages, all unanswered.
It seemed she had left the place.
Buzz Buzz!
At this moment, Su Ming’s wristband vibrated, and a message popped up.
Su Ming immediately opened the message to read.
"Respected Major General Su Ming, you have been selected by the Xi Guang Laboratory as the pilot of the V-generation Biological Mecha, Ilyas, and officially become a member of the Xi Guang Laboratory. From now on, your whereabouts need to be reported to the Xiguang Experiment, and you must be on standby at all times...."
After reading the message, Su Ming’s face showed a strange expression, realizing he had been listed as the pilot of the V-generation Biological Mecha, Ilyas.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset, dismissed the message, and hurried his steps towards the Cosmic Army Headquarters.
...
Not long after.
Su Ming hurriedly arrived at the training room.
At this time, Admiral Taite was giving a lecture to everyone.
Su Ming quickly pushed open the door and walked in, shouting like a late student.
"Report!"
Whoosh!
All eyes focused on Su Ming.
At this moment, Admiral Taite raised his hand and began to applaud, speaking.
"Welcome back!"
Su Yuan and others also joined in clapping.
Although Su Ming was late, Admiral Taite was not at all angry, as he knew very well that Su Ming’s lateness was most likely due to his body not recovering.
"Thank you!"
Su Ming walked in amidst the applause and sat next to Su Yuan.
"Ahem, alright! The Star Storage activities have come to a satisfactory end, and you all are back to normal. Now, it’s time to focus on further studies! Due to the delay caused by the Star Storage activities, you must study hard from now on. After graduation, you’ll become generals who can hold your own, so this knowledge is very important."
Admiral Taite solemnly addressed everyone.
"Understood!"
Su Ming and others responded seriously.
"Good, now we continue to explain the characteristics of the Chilami species...."
Admiral Taite continued with the lecture.
...
Time flew by.
Three months later.
In the hallway of the Cosmic Army Headquarters, Su Ming and Su Yuan were walking towards the training room.
Su Yuan nervously said to Su Ming.
"I really can’t believe it, the Military Department has us studying further and now we have to take an exam. If I fail, I’m doomed. Great-grandfather and my sister will definitely flay me alive. I can’t let that happen, Su Ming, you must save me during the exam, share your answers...."
However, after Su Yuan talked for a while, Su Ming didn’t respond.
Su Yuan turned his head to look at Su Ming, only to find him looking down, staring at his wristband, lost in thought.
He helplessly complained.
"Brother, we’re about to take an exam; failing it means we’re done for! Aren’t you worried at all? Still have the mood to daydream while looking at your wristband?"
Su Ming dismissed his wristband, explaining to Su Yuan.
"I’m not daydreaming; I’m checking information. Isn’t my Mecha destroyed, with only two weapons recovered?"
"I know, you just need the Council to compensate you."
"Exactly, I applied to the Council for compensation, and they agreed, deciding to compensate me with a Fourth Generation Mecha of equivalent performance. But later I applied to the Council to exchange the compensation for equivalent high-grade materials. Today, I got a reply from the Council, asking me to discuss it with relevant personnel after I return."
"Ah, you’re exchanging it for materials, be careful they might shortchange you, you know the price of high-grade materials is pretty unstable."
Su Yuan hurriedly reminded Su Ming.
"I still need to exchange; I’m planning to build a high-level Pure Mechanical Mecha; a Fourth Generation Mecha no longer meets my needs."
Su Ming contemplated for a moment and said.
"Let’s stop this for now, during the exam, you’ll help me out!"
Su Yuan said anxiously.
"I know, and can’t you have some confidence in yourself?"
Su Ming helplessly replied.
"I would like to, but I’m intimidated!"
Su Yuan said with a bitter face.
Su Ming shook his head helplessly and strode forward.
"Wait for me!"
Su Yuan quickly caught up.
A moment later, Su Ming and the others all arrived in the training room.
The spacious training room had seats with nameplates, each with a different person’s name written on it.
Su Ming and the other ten people all took their seats according to the nameplates, and each person’s distance was spaced five or six meters apart.
At this time, Admiral Taite entered with a stack of papers, and without any unnecessary words, he directly distributed the papers to them.
Immediately after, Admiral Taite raised his hand and clapped.
Clap Clap!
The next second, dozens of officers walked in, dispersing and standing around Su Ming and the others, watching them from all angles with no blind spots.
