Chapter 305: Fated But Not Destined (Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Ice Shirt Mu Xue) (Fifth Update)

“Speaking of which, Su Ming, how did you get such a high academic credit? Did that rebel general give you a lot of points?”

Zhang Yi suddenly reacted and asked.

“That’s right! How many points did that rebel general give you?”

Rhine and the others also followed up with questions.

“Don’t even mention it. That guy was only worth 60 points, not even as much as the hostages.”

Su Ming replied with a helpless expression. A leader who wanted to kill all of them was so worthless, not even as valuable as the rescued hostages.

“Of course, hostages are valuable. Among all the missions, rescuing hostages gives the most points. And we rescued people from the Academy. If it were people from the military, they would be even more valuable.”

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

“I see.”

When Su Ming heard Rhine say that, he felt he made a lot of sense. Weren’t those two doctors from the military?

Sure enough, only by rescuing their own people would the points be high.

“Wait, I just remembered something. Can Su Ming get a’star’ for single-handedly killing the rebel leader?”

Zhang Yi asked curiously.

“No, Beink isn’t qualified. His reputation isn’t big enough! The only one truly qualified is that Lord-level mutated creature, Kirami. But that was a group kill, not a single-handed kill by me, so I can’t get a’star’.”

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

He was very clear about the requirements for getting a’star’; it was a symbol of honor.

“That’s such a pity.”

When Zhang Yi and the others heard this, they all expressed their regrets.

“There’s nothing to regret. I’ll get a’star’ sooner or later. Let’s go to the cafeteria.”

Su Ming was quite open-minded.

“Okay.”

Rhine and the others walked towards the cafeteria with Su Ming.

Along the way, Zhang Yi asked curiously.

“Su Ming, are you planning to accumulate 1000 points before exchanging for a Major’s rank, or are you going to exchange for a Captain’s rank now?”

“I haven’t thought about that yet.”

Su Ming replied calmly.

At this moment, Rhine spoke up.

“Of course, you should save up 1000 points before exchanging! And exchanging for a military rank is also very troublesome. There are two very critical aspects that aren’t so easy to deal with.”

“How so?”

“First, when you exchange for a military rank, the military will re-conduct a background check on you to confirm whether you are a spy or something. Of course, this isn’t difficult for you. The Su Family still has a certain reputation in Starlight City, and your family background is relatively clean. However, the second point is a bit troublesome.”

“What’s the second point?”

Su Ming asked curiously.

“It depends on whether you have connections. Although all exchanged ranks are Major, there’s a big difference between a Major with real power and a Major with a nominal position! Let me give you an example: do you remember Major Gene on the Red Fang?”

“I remember him.”

“He belongs to a Major with real power, commanding all the combat units of the Red Fang. Don’t think that his combat units are just that few people; that’s because we boarded the ship, and most of his troops didn’t. Under normal circumstances, he commands a full thousand-man combat unit, capable of striking a small Neutral Countries without a problem.”

Rhine became more and more excited as he spoke.

“What about a nominal position?”

Zhang Yi and the others also became interested.

“A nominal position means no troops under your command, just you alone!”

“Wow, that’s a huge difference, isn’t it?”

“That’s why you need connections! Otherwise, who would be willing to give you real power? But even a Major with a nominal position is still very impressive! Your position is there, and when you’re serving, you don’t have to worry about being troubled by others. You’re like their lord! They’ll have to walk around you! You know, although we serve as Lieutenants, they are all nominal positions, basically just combat personnel, and we still have to be ordered around by those guys above. They might even try to intimidate us at any time!”

Rhine said with immense envy.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi quickly said to Su Ming.

“Class leader, if you ever serve and gain real power, you must remember us and transfer us all under your command! We’ll follow you!”

“That’s right, we still want to follow you!”

Rhine and the others echoed.

“Okay.”

Su Ming agreed without even thinking.

If he really gained real power, he would definitely need his own team. What could be more trustworthy and familiar than his classmates?

“Haha, that’s great!”

Zhang Yi and the others were all very happy to see Su Ming agree.

Just as they were chatting happily, a girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, a melon-seed face, and holding an exquisite dessert box, suddenly walked up.

She blocked Su Ming’s path, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she spoke.

“Hello, Su Ming.”

“You are?”

Su Ming looked the girl up and down, asking politely.

He didn’t recall seeing this girl before.

“Um, I’m Winnie from Mecha Class 11. I’m the student you rescued.”

Winnie explained to Su Ming.

“Oh, I remember now. Winnie, is there something you need?”

Su Ming immediately realized. At that time, she was wearing exoskeleton armor, so he couldn’t see her face clearly.

“Um, I came to thank you. This is a dessert I made myself. I hope you’ll accept it.”

Winnie mustered her courage and handed him the dessert box.

“Okay!”

Su Ming didn’t refuse Winnie’s kind offer.

“And also, can we be friends?”

Winnie said very nervously.

Rhine and the others, hearing this, nudged Su Ming and were almost laughing out loud.

Su Ming’s head immediately swelled, so he replied very subtly.

“Friends, of course, no problem. Everyone is a friend.”

Winnie’s face flashed with a hint of disappointment when she heard Su Ming’s words, but she quickly adjusted her mindset and replied.

“Mm-hmm.”

“We have things to do, so we’ll be going now.”

Su Ming then bid Winnie farewell.

“Okay.”

Winnie nodded in response.

Su Ming then led Rhine and the others away, continuing towards the cafeteria.

“Su Ming, you just rejected her like that? This girl isn’t bad either. I heard she has many admirers.”

Zhang Yi and the others teased him.

“It’s not suitable.”

“Then what kind of girl do you like?”

“That’s right!”

Rhine and the others also became gossipy.

“Sigh~”

Su Ming also shook his head helplessly and walked forward, ignoring them.

Royal Court Academy Central Training Building · Super Neural Training Room.

Splash~

A young girl in a tight training suit emerged from the cylindrical training pool submerged underground, then climbed out.

The girl had a pure face, with wet pink long hair draped over her shoulders. The tight training suit perfectly outlined her figure, especially the magnificent curve of her chest, making the entire tight suit seem about to burst.

At this moment, the girl walked towards the resting chair at the edge.

Inside the training room, first-year and second-year internal students all looked at the girl.

“Wow, she’s really big. My eyes can’t even obey me.”

A Jica took a deep breath and said to his best friend, Bekahn.

“Tsk, what’s so good about being big? I don’t like big ones!”

“Really? There are people who don’t like it? Shaniair is very outstanding.”

“I don’t like it. In my eyes, Lin Chuyu is the beautiful one.”

Bekahn turned his head to look at Lin Chuyu, who was sitting next to An Ruoxue by the training pool not far away, and replied calmly.

“Alright then!”

A Jica shrugged his shoulders when Bekahn said that.

At this moment, Shaniair walked past An Ruoxue and Lin Chuyu.

An Ruoxue looked at Shaniair’s chest, raised her hand to compare it to her own, and sighed.

“Sigh! Why is there such a big difference? What did she eat, anyway?”

“Ruoxue, calm down.”

Lin Chuyu said with a smile, comforting her.

“How can I calm down? Compared to her, I’m already flat enough.”

An Ruoxue turned her face, replying helplessly.

At this moment, a girl with a pear-shaped face and a petite figure greeted Shaniair and started talking to her.

“Still training?”

“Let’s rest for a bit. We’ll train later. Being too eager can easily hurt your body.”

“That’s true. Have you heard recently?”

“Heard what?”

“A genius has emerged among the first-year students!”

“You mean Su Ming, right?”

“Yes, him. Not only did he win the second prize in the Three School League, but he also scored 862 points in the first-year practical mission.”

“Truly impressive.”

“I heard he’s also quite handsome, and his family background is pretty good.”

An Ruoxue turned to look at Lin Chuyu when she heard this, asking with a smile.

“Chu Yu, what’s the situation between you and Su Ming now?”

“Nothing. We’re just ordinary friends.”

Lin Chuyu replied very frankly.

“No way? Ordinary friends? Weren’t you two pretty close? And I heard he used to pursue you, right? Didn’t you feel anything?”

“We really are just ordinary friends.”

“Let me tell you, he’s a popular figure in the school now, and his future prospects are limitless. I heard many girls are pursuing him now.”

An Ruoxue said to Lin Chuyu.

“I know. I can only say we’re fated but not destined.”

Lin Chuyu replied calmly.

“Fated but not destined? Could it be because of your father’s matter?”

“Yes, I’ve already decided that when the time is right, I’ll apply to serve in the Mist Star Sea.”

“No, are you really going to serve there? That’s a very dangerous place.”

“I know, but this is also my wish, and it’s also for my mother. Ever since my father disappeared in the Mist Star Sea back then, my mother has been crying every day. From that moment on, I resolved to go to the Mist Star Sea to find traces of my father. Even if he really sacrificed himself, I want to bring his remains back! And I’ve researched a lot of information about the Mist Star Sea. My father disappeared there, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s really dead. Over the years, there have been cases of people who disappeared in the Mist Star Sea and eventually returned alive.”

“Those are extremely rare occurrences, the probability is no different from winning the lottery. You have to think it through! If you really go to the Mist Star Sea, you might get lost yourself.”

An Ruoxue advised Lin Chuyu.

“I know how dangerous it is there, which is why I don’t want to hold Su Ming back. If one day I can fulfill my dream and return alive, then I will pursue him.”

“By then, it’ll probably be too late. You need to know one thing: he’s already so outstanding in his first year, and he’ll only get better in the future. By then, he’ll definitely be surrounded by many excellent girls and will surely be taken.”

“I understand.”

“Then I’m a bit confused. Since you’ve decided to go to the Mist Star Sea, shouldn’t you have no regrets?”

“You’re right, but I can’t let Su Ming have regrets! People can’t be so selfish, only thinking about themselves. Things that are known to be impossible shouldn’t be allowed to happen.”

Lin Chuyu sighed and replied.

“You really don’t want him? Then I might take him.”

“Mm!”

“Really? Then don’t blame me for stealing him.”

An Ruoxue said with a smile.

“How could I?”

Lin Chuyu sighed, her bright eyes revealing a hint of sadness.
