Chapter 905: Chapter 400: Heavenly Ladder (5-in-1) Part 4
If it were any other time, he would be a hundred percent confident that he would be the one donating the most.
But now, seeing Su Ming on stage, he inexplicably felt a bit uneasy.
Su Ming looked around at everyone, and said with a smile.
“I am very honored to have received the invitation from my alma mater, to participate in this annual event, and to share this brief moment of beauty with everyone. As a token of my heart, I will donate 10 billion Federation Coins, and I hope my alma mater keeps thriving!”
“10 billion!”
“Heavens, Su Ming senior donated 10 billion!”
“That’s incredible!”
…
The crowd of students erupted instantly, applauding enthusiastically.
Vice Principal Fredo and others were also stunned, 10 billion is no small change!
“Thank you.”
Su Ming bowed to everyone and then walked off the stage.
When he returned to his seat, Vice Principal Fleck somewhat embarrassingly said to Su Ming.
“Su Ming, donating this much is too extravagant, will it hurt?”
“It’s fine, it’s just a token of my heart.”
“This isn’t just a token, 10 billion Federation Coins is no small amount!”
“Lord Fleck, since you personally invited me back, my gesture has to be appropriate.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
“You saying this makes me feel even more guilty.”
“Don’t say that, being able to contribute to my alma mater is actually my blessing.”
“Alright then!”
Vice Principal Fleck replied highly moved.
…
Half an hour later, all the guests returning to school had completed their donations.
Maffin walked to the center of the stage and spoke to the crowd.
“The donation ceremony has now concluded, everyone is free to communicate. Meanwhile, the school has prepared fresh fruits, pastries, and drinks, so please enjoy yourselves.”
As Maffin’s words fell, the lighting inside the Starlight Sphere illuminated, and light music began to play.
Teachers one by one pushed food carts inside.
The scene immediately became lively.
Countless students gathered around Su Ming, one admiring junior sister spoke.
“Su Ming senior, can you give us an autograph!”
“Sure.”
Su Ming readily agreed.
“I want one too!”
“Su Ming senior, please give me one too.”
…
The students gathered excitedly shouted.
“Come one by one, everyone will get one.”
Seeing so many people asking for autographs, Su Ming could only brace himself to sign.
At this moment, far away at a seat, Li Mubai watched this scene, his expression became increasingly gloomy.

The following morning.
In the academy dorm room.
Rhein heard noise, drowsily awakened. He slowly sat up and glanced over.
He saw Su Ming dressed in military uniform, chest full of badges, organizing his appearance.
He then raised his wrist to check the time, yawning while asking.
“Captain, why are you up so early? You’ve only slept a few hours! And dressed so sharply, are you going to an appointment?”
“What appointment? It’s the Federation Government’s annual event today. I was invited to attend.”
Su Ming replied simply.
“That’s awesome! You actually received an invite, that’s only for big figures.”
Hearing Su Ming’s words, Rhein instantly perked up, replying with admiration.
“Not bad.”
Su Ming replied with a smile.
At this moment his wristband vibrated, an unfamiliar call came in.
Su Ming glanced at it then answered, and a respectful voice sounded from the wristband.
“Hello, Major General Su Ming. I’m driver Xiao Chang assigned by the Federation Government, here to specifically pick you up for the annual event. I’ve arrived at the Imperial Court Academy entrance.”
“Great, I’ll be there right away.”
Su Ming said and then hung up the call.
Then he said to Rhein.
“I’m leaving!”
“Okay.”
Rhein replied with a smile.
…
Not long after, Su Ming left the dorm building, walking on the path, juniors and juniors he encountered along the way greeted him warmly.
“Hello, Su Ming senior!”
…
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
Soon he arrived at the school’s entrance, a black hovercar with the license plate XGZ0030 was parked in the middle of the gate, a young man in a black work uniform stood in front of the car.
Su Ming walked straight over, the driver saw Su Ming approaching, hurriedly opened the rear door, and said respectfully.
“General Su Ming, please!”
“Mm!”
Su Ming directly got in.
Very quickly the vehicle started, entering the fast lane, heading towards the City Lord Mansion.
…
Outside the City Lord Mansion · Starlight Square
Soldiers wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor, surrounded the vast square.
Inside the square gathered many legislators and generals, reporters nonstop taking photos of them, the scene was quite lively.
And at the periphery of the restricted area, there was a dense crowd of people, standing on tiptoe looking towards Starlight Square.
At this moment a black hovercar drove over, the staff responsible for reception hurriedly stepped forward to open the car door.
When Su Ming stepped out of the car, the staff quickly put a hand over Su Ming’s head to prevent him from bumping.
People chatting at the time saw another vehicle arriving, and turned to look.
“Who is this, becoming a Major General at such a young age? Why have I never seen him before?”
“You just returned from Tidal Star Sea, not knowing him is quite normal. He’s from the Thirteenth Legion, a rising star in the Federation, very impressive!”
“I see.”
…
Su Ming scanned the crowd momentarily, a hint of surprise flickered in his eye.
Here it’s either legislators or generals, being a Major General here is just at the bottom.
Moreover, Su Ming could sense that none of the generals present were rookies, even if some were overrated, their competence was significant.
Just then, another black hovercar drove in, parking at a designated spot.
