"How are the courses you’re taking now?" Ivan suddenly asked.
"Great! There’s so much valuable knowledge to learn, none of which can be found on the Star Network."
"Of course, it can’t be found on the Star Network, because all these courses were also purchased with points, ten points per class. You can only attend if you have points. Looking at how busy you’ve been attending so many classes these past days, it’s actually not a bad deal."
All of them were immersed in the Simulation Chamber; they had missed the important courses and would have to spend points to buy them later.
According to the purchasing power, one point was equivalent to one dollar, but for many courses, equipment, and military-specific devices provided by the school and the market, they only accepted points, not money. Even if you had money, you couldn’t buy them.
Points could only be earned through competition results and carrying out tasks.
Of course, one could also purchase them at a high price from others, but very few people would sell their points.
If you were to buy them, you would have to pay at least three times the price, and that too if the market existed; after all, many wealthy people were in the Military Academy, and they weren’t short of money.
Lin Fu silently opened her account; in the points column, a stark zero was clearly written, then she silently closed it.
Immediately after, she opened the hot videos on the school’s internal network.
[108 Tricks to Earning Points]
The very first trick in the video was—
No, you read that correctly.
On a closer look, it turned out to be collecting space debris.
That made more sense.
"Stop looking. Our team would absolutely not participate in such low-level tasks," Anton said with disdain, curling his lip, "and you’re not allowed either. It would be embarrassing to mention it."
Lin Fu’s eagerness was immediately doused with cold water.
She found the video introduction quite interesting.
Anton raised his fist, showing a fierce smile, "You’ll find out soon enough."
After the class ended, Joter gathered all the students from Class 2 and formally announced the three-month intensive training mission.
"Tomorrow at ten o’clock in the morning, everyone must arrive punctually at Military Starport No.8, where we will board an Escort Ship to the nearest space transfer station to Desolate Star No. 3," Instructor Joter said in an even tone, but it stirred up a whirlwind.
"Military Starport No.8?"
Lin Fu couldn’t help but widen her eyes, whispering to Mervin beside her, "Does Military Starport No.8 serve exclusively for the Eighth Fleet? Does that mean the Escort Ship we’ll be boarding belongs to the Eighth Fleet?"
"Yep!" Mervin nodded succinctly.
Inside the classroom, the other students were also quietly discussing among themselves.
He Xi, who was sitting in front of Lin Fu and Mervin, turned around, his expression full of anticipation, "It’d be great if we could board Major General Fu Xing’s flagship, the Asgard. I wouldn’t mind working there for free!"
"Dream on," Anton threw cold water on the idea, "We’re just Military Academy Students now; we absolutely don’t qualify to board the Asgard."
"The Asgard?" Lin Fu muttered to herself, longing in her voice.
Joter sternly halted the ongoing discussions below and continued, "For this trip, all freshmen from the three schools will depart together until the space transfer station, where they will then proceed to their respective training locations. During this time, I hope you don’t cause any trouble, and strictly adhere to the school rules and reservist military etiquette."
All the students responded in unison.
Joter nodded in satisfaction, "This space voyage will last sixteen days, including one space warp. Getting the chance to board a regular Cosmic Fleet ship before graduation is a rare opportunity. To this end, we’ve negotiated with the Eighth Fleet; the fleet will open up some facilities and internship opportunities for the freshmen. I hope you won’t miss out. If you perform well, you might even be directly conscripted."
