Chapter 329 Boat Spirit (5-in-1)

At Training Ground No. 12.

A middle-aged man in a captain’s uniform, with a beard and a scar on his face, was passionately lecturing a row of squadron leaders.

“How many times have I emphasized this? Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. You must rein in your subordinates properly!”

Zhang Yi stood listening, his face full of helplessness.

At this moment, Su Ming walked to the side of the formation, stood with his arms crossed, and looked at the dispirited Zhang Yi with interest.

Zhang Yi inadvertently saw Su Ming and called out in a surprised whisper.

“Squad Leader!”

Lieutenant Zheng Ke, who was lecturing, was directly interrupted and said angrily.

“Zhang Yi, what are you doing? Is there any discipline left? And you, didn’t you see that a lecture is going on here?”

“Sorry to interrupt you, I’m here to transfer Zhang Yi.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

Zhang Yi was overjoyed when he heard that Su Ming was going to transfer him, and said.

“Squad Leader, is that true?”

“Of course it’s true, come with me!”

“Okay!”

Zhang Yi replied without thinking.

“Who exactly are you? By what right can you transfer people?”

Lieutenant Zheng Ke asked angrily.

“I am Major Su Ming.”

Su Ming coughed and introduced himself.

Zheng Ke was startled and immediately saluted Su Ming, but he still spoke.

“Officer, although your rank is higher than mine, you cannot just transfer people away. Our Regimental Commander will not agree.”

Zheng Ke knew very well that Zhang Yi was a student of Royal Court Academy, and his combat power and quality were very high.

If he were transferred away, their team would suffer a great loss.

“What your Regimental Commander says doesn’t count. This is a transfer order approved by the Legion Commander!”

Su Ming tapped his wristband and projected the transfer order.

“Yes!”

Lieutenant Zheng Ke’s face turned as black as charcoal when he saw the transfer order, and then he spoke.

“Haha, Squad Leader, you’re too cool! I knew you could handle it.”

Zhang Yi said excitedly to Su Ming.

“Time is tight, let’s go! We still have to find Rhein and the others.”

Su Ming took Zhang Yi and walked towards the other brigades.

Soon, Su Ming and Zhang Yi arrived at the training area of the Seventh Regiment.

They saw Rhein, looking serious, instructing a group of squadron leaders and squad leaders who stood at attention.

“You are all leaders, leading so many subordinates. If you cannot set an example, then why would your subordinates listen to you?”

“Rhein.”

Zhang Yi called out to Rhein.

Rhein turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Yi and Su Ming calling him, so he coughed and said.

“Stand at attention, I need to handle something.”

“Yes!”

The subordinates present replied in unison.

Rhein hurried over to Su Ming and Zhang Yi, and asked in confusion.

“Su Ming, Zhang Yi, why are you here? I’m training here.”

“No more training, I’m here to take you away.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Really?!”

“Of course it’s true, the transfer order has already been issued.”

“Squad Leader, please wait a moment, I’ll go give some instructions.”

Rhein finished speaking and hurried to the front of the training team.

Everyone looked at Rhein, and Rhein smiled and said to them.

“Sorry everyone, I’m being transferred, and I won’t be able to instruct you anymore. A new officer will come to teach you later. Today’s training ends here.”

“Ah, Officer, you’re leaving?”

“No!”

All the officers present became anxious.

At this moment, Major Faka, who was training his troops nearby, heard the commotion and quickly walked over, asking.

“What’s going on?”

“Nothing, I’m here to transfer someone!”

Su Ming also walked up and said with a smile.

Faka’s expression changed slightly when he saw Su Ming, and he said with a dark face.

“Su Ming, the person you want to transfer is Rhein?”

“That’s right.”

Su Ming nodded.

“No, choose someone else.”

Faka refused without thinking. This Rhein was not only from Royal Court Academy, but also exceptionally outstanding in all aspects.

This was also why Major Faka had exceptionally promoted Rhein to be a Brigade Commander. If Su Ming transferred him, it would be a huge loss.

“Major Faka, regarding the transfer, the Legion Commander has made it very clear.”

Su Ming reminded him calmly.

“But he has to be willing.”

“Alright, then you ask him.”

“Rhein, listen to me, if you stay here, you can be a Brigade Commander, but it’s not certain if you go there. You know your rank isn’t high enough, and I’ve been very good to you.”

Faka quickly tried to play on Rhein’s emotions.

“Thank you, Officer Faka, for your cultivation, but I still choose to go with Commander Su Ming.”

Rhein replied without the slightest hesitation.

He thought to himself: “Sorry, you were indeed very good to me, but Squad Leader is even better to me.”

Faka’s face turned green with anger when he heard Rhein’s words.

Su Ming smiled and said to Faka.

“Major Faka, no problem now, right?”

“No!”

Faka took a deep breath and replied.

“Rhein, let’s go!”

Su Ming directly led them away.

“Squad Leader, what do we do next?”

Rhein asked as he followed Su Ming.

“I’ll issue the transfer orders to you, and we’ll split up to bring everyone back.”

Su Ming replied straightforwardly.

“Okay!”

Rhein and the other immediately dispersed to transfer people.

Su Ming, on the other hand, walked towards the Twenty-fifth Regiment.

Soon after, Su Ming found Mink.

He saw a sergeant major scolding Mink and several corporals.

“Look at yourselves, because of you, the entire squadron is at the bottom! So undisciplined and negligent, are you even training diligently?!”

“Reporting, Officer, we’ve been training very hard. Being at the bottom isn’t our fault. Many of them are new recruits, who haven’t even touched a mech before and have only learned theory!”

Mink replied.

“Excuses! Since you’re so unconvinced, go run ten laps. If you don’t finish, you won’t eat.”

The sergeant major scolded Mink.

“Yes!”

Mink then stepped out of formation.

Seeing this, Su Ming walked forward and said with a smile.

“Mink, no need to run, you’ve been transferred.”

Mink looked at Su Ming in surprise and said.

“Su Ming?”

“You are?”

The sergeant major frowned and looked at Su Ming. Since Su Ming wasn’t wearing a military uniform, he couldn’t discern his rank.

“I am Major Su Ming!”

Upon hearing this, the sergeant major saluted in panic.

“Officer!”

Mink’s eyes also widened, and he looked at Su Ming with a look of astonishment.

He was already a Major, it was unbelievable.

“Mink, let’s go!”

Su Ming smiled, patted Mink’s shoulder, and directly led him away.

Soon after, Su Ming returned to Training Ground No. 3 with Rhein and thirty other people.

As they arrived, they saw several majors talking with Dong Zhe and others, seemingly trying to poach them.

Among them, Su Ming also saw Major Faka trying to persuade Dong Zhe.

“Dong Zhe, we all came from the Di Yan Star Reserve Unit. We know each other well, and our relationship is so good, why don’t you come to my side?”

Just as Dong Zhe was about to reply to Faka, he suddenly saw Su Ming approaching with his people and immediately saluted.

“Officer!”

Faka looked a bit awkward when he saw Su Ming return, and said.

“Uh, Su Ming, I’m also here to transfer some people.”

“No problem, transfer whoever you want! As long as they are willing to go with you!”

Su Ming didn’t care at all whether Dong Zhe and the others would be poached. He had transferred thirty people back, and any one of them could serve as a Brigade Commander.

“Dong Zhe, you heard him, don’t feel any pressure, you can leave if you want to come with me.”

Faka said to Dong Zhe.

“Sorry, Officer, I still want to stay.”

Dong Zhe shook his head and replied.

Faka was stunned when he heard Dong Zhe’s words, and he said in disbelief.

“Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”

“No reconsideration!”

Dong Zhe replied with great certainty.

At this time, Zhang Bi and others nearby also clearly expressed their stance to the officers who came to poach them.

“We want to stay, not be transferred!”

“Sigh!”

Faka and the others sighed and left, seeing that they couldn’t poach anyone.

When Su Ming saw that everyone had left, he spoke.

“Assemble!”

Deng Yu and the others immediately lined up.

Su Ming scanned them and said steadily.

“Since you haven’t left, you are all my soldiers, and naturally, you must follow my rules!”

“Yes, Officer!”

“Now I announce the latest changes. Five new Brigade Commanders have been added: Rhein, Zhang Yi, Ankajia, Anqi, and Elu. As for Mandy and the others, they will all serve as Squadron Leaders, and Mink will serve as a Squad Leader. At the same time, I will divide all Brigade Commanders into two groups. Rhein and your group will be one, and Deng Yu and the five of you will be another. The entire brigade will be split into two groups, with one person leading half! I want to see who trains better!”

“Yes!”

Deng Yu and the others replied in loud voices.

If it had been before, Deng Yu and the others would have had strong objections, because it was a disguised way of sidelining them.

But now they had no objections whatsoever.

“Alright, you all go and get acquainted. The official training will begin tomorrow morning.”

Su Ming waved his hand and turned to leave.

A moment later, Su Ming returned to the doorway of his room.

At this point, he noticed that the half-closed door was wide open, and immediately became alert.

Su Ming quietly entered the room and then saw that the plate on the table was empty.

He immediately looked at the camera, only to find that the camera had fallen over.

However, Su Ming still walked forward, raised his wristband to connect to the camera, and checked the footage inside.

Because the Federation was on guard against the Mechanical Clan, there were special legal provisions that, except for special military cameras, other camera devices were not allowed to be connected to the internet or use cloud storage.

Soon, he connected and read the video footage, fast-forwarding constantly.

The first half didn’t capture anything, until in the middle, the image suddenly tilted, and the camera fell over.

“Clever enough, it’s become a spirit!”

Su Ming then turned and left.

Soon after, he arrived at the commercial street and once again came to the surveillance store.

“Officer, you’re here! Is the surveillance working well?”

The boss asked very enthusiastically.

“It’s okay, but the performance doesn’t meet my needs.”

“That’s simple, just tell me what kind you need.”

“Do you have that kind of pinhole camera?”

Su Ming then stated his needs.

The boss’s expression immediately became a little unnatural when he heard Su Ming’s words, and he said awkwardly.

“Officer, you’re not going to use a pinhole camera to film something, are you? That can easily cause trouble.”

Su Ming’s face immediately darkened when he heard the boss’s words, and he directly took out his ID card and handed it to the boss.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I have a legitimate use for it. This is my officer ID card.”

The boss took it and saw that Su Ming was actually a Major, and immediately said with a chuckle.

“Oh, I could tell at a glance that you’re not that kind of person, and you’re so handsome, you wouldn’t need to do such things. I’ll get it for you right away!”

Su Ming waited helplessly.

A few minutes later, the boss brought a pinhole camera and said to Su Ming.

“This thing is very discreet. You just need to expose the pinhead and aim it in the right direction.”

“How much?”

“This one is more expensive, ten thousand federal currency.”

“Here!”

Su Ming paid the money readily and left the store to go to the fruit store.

The next morning.

Su Ming got up early. He had everything set up and then left the house. As he left, he still left the door ajar.

A moment later.

Su Ming arrived at Training Ground No. 1.

Rhein and the other Brigade Commanders had already assembled all the soldiers and lined them up, waiting for Su Ming’s arrival.

Su Ming walked in front of them, and Rhein and the others shouted in unison.

“Good morning, Officer!”

“Mm.”

Su Ming nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to begin his lecture, he suddenly heard Hegas’s passionate voice from nearby.

He turned his head and saw Hegas lecturing his subordinates.

Su Ming pondered for a few seconds, then waved his hand, directly leading his team to the side of Hegas’s team.

Then Su Ming raised his hand, signaling Rhein and the others to sit down and listen to Hegas’s lecture.

“All of you listen up! We only have one month. After one month, we will be going to the battlefield. So, you must train desperately. This time is different from before; if you don’t train well, you will lose your lives! Enemies on the battlefield won’t show mercy.”

Time flowed by second by second.

After Hegas finished his speech, his subordinates roared as if injected with a stimulant.

“Commander, we will train desperately and definitely live up to your expectations.”

Hegas nodded with satisfaction, but then he noticed the sound was off. He frowned and looked at Su Ming and the others.

“Su Ming, why aren’t you instructing your subordinates? Why are you dragging people over here?”

“Aren’t we listening to your speech? Did you all hear Commander Hegas’s instructions?”

Su Ming stood up and said to Rhine and the others.

“We heard it!”

Rhine and the others clapped and replied.

“Hmph, you’re quite lazy.”

Hegas replied irritably. Of course, he wasn’t truly angry; they were all part of the same team.

“Thanks, come with me!”

Su Ming directly led the team to the side.

Immediately after, Su Ming called Rhine and the other team leaders aside and spoke with a serious expression.

“You’ve heard it too; we only have one month. It’s really too urgent. I’m not worried about you officers, after all, you have a solid foundation, and a bit of intensive training will suffice. The biggest problem now is these new recruits!”

“Then what should we do?”

Rhine and the others looked back at the many new recruits behind them, asking with a headache.

They weren’t as reserved as Dong Zhe and the others, so they had no qualms.

“Listen up, from now on, you captains must first focus on the soldiers below. Get their foundations built up, and I’ll figure out the rest later.”

Su Ming instructed Rhine and the others.

“Alright, leave it to us!”

Rhine and the others didn’t waste any words.

“Go!”

Su Ming waved his hand at everyone, urging them to quickly train their subordinates.

After doing all this, Su Ming left the training ground and went home.

Not long after, Su Ming returned home and immediately saw that the grapes in the plate were gone. He turned his head to look at the pinhole camera and, seeing it intact, a smile appeared on his face.

He immediately operated his wristband, connected to the pinhole camera, and read the footage to watch.

The video fast-forwarded continuously.

Suddenly, the grapes on the plate disappeared.

Su Ming was slightly stunned, then he rewound the footage frame by frame.

Soon, Su Ming saw the anomaly and immediately froze the screen. On the plate, a blurry gray shadow appeared.

“Good heavens, there really is an unknown creature!”

Su Ming looked at this scene and muttered to himself.

He hadn’t expected this unknown creature to be so incredibly fast that even the camera couldn’t capture it clearly.

However, from the looks of it, this unknown creature didn’t seem to pose much danger.

But Su Ming didn’t intend to just let it go.

He turned and left his home, heading towards the hospital.

Not long after, Su Ming arrived at the military hospital within Star Radiance Fortress. He swiped his officer’s card on a machine to get a number.

At this moment, an older female nurse hurried over and said to Su Ming.

“Commander, where do you feel unwell?”

“I’m fine, I just came to get some medicine.”

“Then I’ll take you to the medical room.”

“Mm!”

Su Ming nodded slightly.

The female nurse immediately led Su Ming inside, and they soon arrived at a medical room partitioned by frosted glass.

There were many doctors here, treating some soldiers injured during training.

The nurse led Su Ming to a refined female doctor with a ponytail.

“Doctor Zhou Qiao, Commander Su Ming needs some medication.”

“Hello, Commander. What medication do you need?”

Zhou Qiao quickly stood up and asked Su Ming.

“Give me some knockout drops.”

Su Ming subconsciously blurted out.

As soon as he said this, Zhou Qiao was stunned. Many doctors and soldiers in the medical room turned to look at Su Ming.

Su Ming rubbed his forehead and said.

“Apologies, I misspoke.”

“It’s alright, Commander, please say it again.”

Zhou Qiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“I need some strong sleeping pills, preferably water-soluble liquid. The effect must be good, and it must be colorless and odorless.”

Su Ming directly stated his requirements.

But after Su Ming finished speaking, Zhou Qiao’s expression became even more unsettled.

Everyone’s gaze towards Su Ming was also very complex. They wanted to say something but didn’t dare.

However, Su Ming glanced at their expressions and knew that these people had misinterpreted him again, so he said sternly.

“I’m using this for legitimate purposes, to catch an unknown creature.”

“Oh, I see. I’ll get it for you right away.”

Zhou Qiao quickly responded upon hearing Su Ming’s words.

At this moment, Su Ming heard a few nurses beside him whispering.

“I knew it. He’s so handsome and has a high military rank; why would he need such things?”

Su Ming felt helpless upon hearing their discussion.

In the evening.

Su Ming returned to his house with a pile of things, the front door slightly ajar.

He first washed the grapes he bought, then picked up a syringe, drew up the potent sleeping potion, and injected each grape individually.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Rhine and the others excitedly walked in.

“Squad Leader!”

Su Ming looked up at Rhine and said.

“You’re here.”

Rhine, however, was stunned. They watched Su Ming injecting medicine into the grapes and exchanged glances.

At this moment, Zhang Yi quietly asked.

“Squad Leader, have you had a recent setback in your romantic life?”

“No, why would you suddenly say that?”

Su Ming replied naturally.

“Then you’re not planning to use force, are you? Squad Leader, that wouldn’t be appropriate, would it?”

Ankajia then spoke up.

“Squad Leader, there are plenty of fish in the sea! Don’t do anything foolish.”

“If it really doesn’t work out, you could consider Elu and the others too.”

Ha Miao said bluntly.

“Exactly, we’re also an option.”

Elu replied with a chuckle.

Su Ming’s face instantly darkened upon hearing this, and he said testily.

“What are you all thinking about all day? This is for setting a trap to capture an unknown creature.”

Rhine, hearing this, immediately reprimanded everyone.

“Look at you all, with such dirty minds. What kind of person is the Squad Leader? How could he do such a thing? You actually doubted him. Look, I haven’t doubted him from beginning to end.”

“Rhine, don’t be an armchair quarterback. Your expression just now wasn’t much better!”

“Hehe!”

“Alright, what did you come to see me for?”

Su Ming sighed and said.

“This is your military uniform. Someone sent it to our team, so we brought it over for you.”

Rhine picked up two neatly folded Major military uniforms and handed them to Su Ming.

“Anything else?”

Su Ming took them and asked.

“And also, we came to drink with you!”

Mandy and the others all held up the dishes and wine they were carrying.

“Alright, you guys go cook first. Then Rhine, you guys go buy some folding tables and chairs. We’ll have a dinner party in the courtyard tonight!”

Su Ming readily agreed.

“Got it!”

Rhine and the others happily responded.

The next morning.

Su Ming set everything up, then left the house wearing his second-generation exoskeleton armor, hiding not far away and watching the slightly ajar door.

One hour, two hours…

Suddenly, the slightly ajar door moved.

Su Ming immediately focused his attention on the open doorway. At this moment, the entire world seemed to stand still.

Then, he barely managed to see a gray figure pass through the doorway.

Su Ming immediately activated the power assist of his second-generation exoskeleton armor and chased after it at full speed.

However, that gray figure was running and flying, its speed was simply too fast, and the distance between Su Ming and it rapidly widened.

But just then, the gray figure’s speed suddenly slowed down, its body swayed slightly, and it stopped flying.

Su Ming immediately realized that the medicine had taken effect and sped up to catch up.

Even so, the gray figure still darted away at a very fast pace.

Su Ming chased all the way, constantly dodging pedestrians on the road, and shouted.

“Move aside!”

People walking on the road scattered in a panic.

“What’s wrong with that Commander?”

“I’m not sure.”

Some patrolling soldiers discussed in confusion when they saw this scene.

Not long after, Su Ming chased the gray figure out of the city and rushed towards an abandoned passage entrance.

He then rushed into the metal passage, which was 20 meters high and 10 meters wide. The entire passage’s walls and floor were covered in dust, clearly indicating it hadn’t been maintained.

Su Ming relentlessly pursued the gray figure.

At this moment, a crossroads appeared ahead, and the gray figure turned sharply to the right at an extremely high speed.

Su Ming also followed the turn.

This unmaintained area had intricate and complex passages, like a maze.

The two chased each other inside. If this creature hadn’t eaten the sleeping potion and its speed hadn’t slowed down, Su Ming would be 100% sure he would have lost it.

Just then, the gray figure finally couldn’t hold on and crashed onto the metal floor.

Su Ming also stopped at this point and looked carefully.

He could now barely make out the creature’s appearance: it was a palm-sized creature with gray fur, a small and delicate form, a head resembling a flying squirrel, large round eyes, a fluffy tail, and a pair of gray wings.

Su Ming cautiously approached, slowly reaching out to grab it.

Suddenly, this gray creature got up and darted forward with all its might.

Su Ming immediately grabbed at empty air. He then quickly sped up to catch it.

At this moment, the gray creature desperately flapped its wings, which had regained consciousness, and flew into a passage opening on the front right.

Su Ming didn’t hesitate for a moment and also rushed into the passage. He knew very well that the creature was failing; it was merely a spent force now.

Inside the passage was a huge pipe area, with pipes of various diameters crisscrossing.

The gray creature desperately flapped its wings and flew onto the crisscrossing pipes.

Su Ming didn’t hesitate, leaped up, jumped onto the pipes, and chased after it.

The gray creature hurriedly flapped its wings and flew onto other pipes again, while Su Ming nimbly followed, leaping over.

The two chased each other relentlessly within the pipe area.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the side. Su Ming instantly felt extreme danger and twisted his entire body to dodge to the limit.

A fierce punch immediately missed its target.

Su Ming looked closely and saw that his attacker was a person completely covered in fourth-generation gray bio-armor, whose appearance was unclear.

The man wearing the fourth-generation bio-armor, seeing his attack miss, violently kicked Su Ming.

Although Su Ming detected the opponent’s attack, his body simply couldn’t keep up!

Bang!

The opponent’s kick, fast as an afterimage, landed on Su Ming’s chest, and the exoskeleton armor instantly caved in. Su Ming was sent flying, directly breaking two pipes and denting a third.

Pfft!

Su Ming then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He looked at the man in the fourth-generation bio-armor before him with horror. This guy’s strength was ridiculously strong, already beyond the normal human range.

Su Ming was certain that this guy had at least injected Type III genetic agents.

Just as the man in front was about to charge at Su Ming again, a calm voice rang out.

“Stop!”

Su Ming looked up and saw two figures emerge from the darkness. The man who spoke was burly and completely covered in cool black bio-armor.

Beside this man was a slender woman completely covered in red bio-armor.

“You are?”

Su Ming looked at the man who spoke with a deep frown.

The burly man then removed the bio-armor covering his face.

“Lieutenant General Feilong.”

Su Ming said with a slight change in expression.

“Major Su Ming, this is a restricted area. Why did you trespass?”

Lieutenant General Feilong directly questioned Su Ming.

Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Lieutenant General Feilong’s words. He hadn’t expected to have chased too far and entered a restricted area, so he explained.

“Apologies, General, I was chasing an unknown creature and accidentally chased it in here.”

Hearing Su Ming’s words, Feilong turned his head to look at the man who attacked Su Ming.

The other party shook his head, indicating he hadn’t seen anything.

Su Ming then spoke.

“It’s inside!”

“Alright, Major Su Ming! I understand the situation. We will handle the creature that broke in. Please leave the restricted area immediately. Your clearance is not sufficient to enter here.”

Feilong did not intend to let Su Ming go in to capture it, but rather told him to leave quickly.

“Yes.”

Su Ming didn’t say another word and quickly turned to leave.

Although he had accidentally entered the restricted area, if he asked more questions, he might be mistakenly identified as a spy, and then he wouldn’t be able to leave.

However, Su Ming was also very puzzled; such a powerful expert was hidden within this restricted area.

Su Ming was certain he had never seen the guy who fought him, nor the woman beside General Feilong.

Thinking of this, Su Ming became even more curious about what was inside the restricted area.

But Su Ming wouldn’t be so foolish as to go back and snoop. He was lucky today thanks to General Feilong, otherwise, he would have definitely fallen into trouble.

Of course, the biggest reason General Feilong helped him was that his military rank had reached the officer level, giving him certain authority.

If it were a lower-ranking officer or soldier, regardless of whether they accidentally trespassed, they would first be arrested and interrogated; there would be no way they would be let go like this.

Evening.

Su Ming lay on his bed, searching for information on the gray creature based on his memory.

Before long, he actually found it.

Boat Spirit: A first-class protected waste product of the Federation. Due to its extremely rare numbers, it is listed as a key protected object. It usually only appears on warships that have undergone the baptism of time. Its personality is timid, it likes to steal fruit, and it has no combat power. Its only life-saving ability is the art of cuteness.”

Su Ming sighed as he looked at the information.

If he had known it was this thing, he wouldn’t have set a trap to catch it. He had taken a kick for nothing, and his chest was still throbbing with pain.

However, since it had already happened, Su Ming didn’t intend to delve deeper.

He dismissed the search results and then began to edit a training outline on his wristband.

Although Su Ming had handed over the training of his subordinates to Rhine and others, he had no intention of being a hands-off manager.

One month was simply too short; conventional training methods wouldn’t work.

Therefore, Su Ming planned to combine Mia’s combat techniques and training methods with his own experience to design a crash course training method.

This method contained no systematic training methods, only various combat moves and defensive techniques.

Moreover, Su Ming also needed to make this set of training moves applicable to various common weapons as much as possible.

Time passed bit by bit.

Before he knew it, it was late at night. Su Ming leaned against the headboard of his bed and fell asleep, his wristband screen still lit, displaying the edited data.

Rustle, rustle~

Su Ming, who was sound asleep, suddenly heard a strange noise and woke up abruptly, turning his head to look at the corner of the room.

He saw his suitcase had been opened.

The Boat Spirit had dug out the bottle of Eternal Metal from inside the suitcase.

“Damn it, how did it get in?”

Su Ming’s expression changed, and he immediately got out of bed, just about to rush over to stop it.

But the Boat Spirit directly fled outward, slipping out through an N-shaped small door at the bottom of the main door.

Su Ming didn’t even put on his shoes and chased after it directly.

Unfortunately, when he rushed out of the room, he couldn’t even see a shadow.

Su Ming’s mouth twitched slightly. He hadn’t expected to be outsmarted one day. He took a deep breath and said with a wry laugh.

“Alright, just you wait.”

The next morning.

Su Ming went to the commercial street early in the morning and bought a pile of things to take home.

He picked up a steel ball much larger than a grape, took out purple dye, and began to paint the steel ball.

In a short while, several steel balls were painted purple.

Next, Su Ming took out tools and drilled a very small hole at the bottom of the steel ball, connecting a thin wire.

He picked up a plate, drilled a hole in it, and threaded the wire through. He embedded the steel ball into a washed grape and placed it on the plate. Finally, he put the plate on the table and then connected the power.

Then Su Ming picked up transparent adhesive sheets, spreading them around the plate and on the floor.

After doing all this, Su Ming then left the room, leaving the door ajar.

He stood at a distance, observing the slightly open door.

Su Ming was eighty percent sure that the little guy would definitely come again.

Facts proved Su Ming had won his gamble. Just three hours after he waited, the slightly ajar door moved again.

Seeing this, Su Ming smiled and walked towards the house.

Inside the house, the Boat Spirit flew onto the table and reached out its paw to grab a grape, but it grabbed the steel ball instead.

Zzzzt~

The Boat Spirit was instantly electrocuted, its entire body falling backward, and it got stuck to a large piece of adhesive paper.

It struggled desperately, falling directly from the table, and then got stuck to a whole bunch more adhesive paper. Its entire body was like it was wrapped in adhesive paper, and its wings couldn’t even spread.

At this moment, Su Ming walked in and saw the Boat Spirit, covered in adhesive paper, running around the room like a headless fly.

Su Ming watched this scene, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

He reached out and closed the door, then lifted his foot to close the small N-shaped door at the bottom and sealed it with tape.

The next second, Su Ming rushed towards the frantically darting Boat Spirit, grabbing it with one hand, sending dust flying.

He picked up a thin metal string, tied it directly around the Boat Spirit’s neck, and then pulled it sharply.

The metal string tightened instantly, and the Boat Spirit let out a cry of pain.

“Weren’t you very good at running? Now I’ve caught you, haven’t I?”

Su Ming looked at the tied-up Boat Spirit in a good mood.

“Wuwu~”

The Boat Spirit blinked its large, charming eyes, looking pitifully at Su Ming.

“Cut it out. Hand over what you stole from me.”

Su Ming patted its head.

The Boat Spirit raised its small paw and pointed at the adhesive paper on its body. Su Ming immediately understood and reached out to tear off a piece of adhesive paper.

“Aowu.”

The Boat Spirit immediately let out a shrill scream.

Seeing this, Su Ming tore off the remaining adhesive paper with even more force.

The Boat Spirit cried out in pain and rolled on the floor.

But Su Ming finished tearing it off very quickly and said to the Boat Spirit.

“Alright, lead the way!”

The Boat Spirit obediently stood up and led Su Ming outside.

Su Ming walked like he was walking a dog, holding the thin metal string.

Soon, they left the city and arrived at an abandoned warehouse area.

Su Ming led the Boat Spirit deep inside, making several turns along the way.

Finally, the Boat Spirit led Su Ming to the outside of an abandoned warehouse.

There was a rather large hole in the wall of this warehouse.

The Boat Spirit barked at the entrance of the hole.

Su Ming then stepped forward, lifted his foot, and kicked hard at the edge of the damaged hole, making the hole even larger.

Su Ming entered with the Boat Spirit.

Soon they entered a dimly lit warehouse. Su Ming raised his head and looked around.

All sorts of messy things were piled up here, and there were even pots, bowls, and utensils inside. If there were no surprises, these things should all have been collected by this little guy.

The Boat Spirit led Su Ming further inside, finally pointing to the ground in a corner, where the bottle of Eternal Metal lay.

Su Ming bent down and picked up the Eternal Metal. Just then, he saw a dusty photograph on the ground nearby.

He picked up the photo and blew off the dust.

In the photo, a middle-aged man with a big beard, wearing a major’s military uniform, was holding the Boat Spirit and lying on a rocking chair.

Su Ming looked at the photo and immediately understood.

The man in the photo should be the Boat Spirit’s owner, and the house he lived in should be the house where the Boat Spirit’s owner lived before he died.

That’s why this guy kept running there every day.

“Wuwu~”

At this moment, the Boat Spirit made a wronged sound.

Su Ming looked at its pitiful appearance, then squatted down and slowly untied the metal rope. Then he took out a piece of white chocolate, tore open the packaging, and handed it to it.

The Boat Spirit timidly took it and then ate it in large bites.

Su Ming patted its head and said.

“Alright, I’ll let you off this time. Don’t ever steal my things again.”

The Boat Spirit seemed to understand Su Ming’s words and nodded obediently.

Su Ming then got up and walked out, but the Boat Spirit actually followed him.

“Why are you following me?”

Su Ming turned to look at the Boat Spirit.

The Boat Spirit immediately stopped, but as Su Ming took a step forward, it also took a step forward.

Seeing this, Su Ming couldn’t help but smile wryly; this little guy actually wanted to follow him.

But unfortunately, Su Ming didn’t want to keep it. Although it was a first-class protected animal, it was truly too useless. Apart from being relatively fast and good at stealing things, it basically had no other abilities.

“Don’t follow me, I don’t want to keep you!”

Su Ming said directly to the Boat Spirit.

But the Boat Spirit tilted its head, its big, charming eyes looking at Su Ming with a watery gaze.

Seeing this, Su Ming couldn’t help but smile wryly; this guy was actually trying to act cute, but he still said.

“It’s no use, I’m not keeping you.”

But the Boat Spirit was unmoved, still blinking its eyes and looking at Su Ming.

Su Ming shook his head and turned to leave.

The Boat Spirit then trotted after him.

The next day.

Su Ming arrived at the mech training ground.

The entire training ground was super lively, with mechs neatly swinging their weapons.

“When you chop, you must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, aiming for the enemy’s cockpit and weak points as much as possible!”

Officers shouted at the top of their lungs.

Su Ming looked at these officers training enthusiastically and felt a bit emotional, it seemed everyone was desperately training their soldiers.

At this moment, Su Ming arrived at the Third Legion’s training area with his hands behind his back.

From a distance, he saw Rhine, Deng Yu, and others personally teaching the soldiers.

They followed Su Ming’s instructions, teaching them the most basic operations and strengthening their foundations.

Su Ming then found a chair and leisurely edited training materials on his wristband.

Although time was pressing, Su Ming always believed in the principle that sharpening the axe does not delay the work of cutting wood.

He now needed to perfect this crash course training method as much as possible.

At this time, Hegas was inspecting the training progress not far away. When he saw Su Ming lying leisurely on a chair, his brows also furrowed tightly.

Although he knew Su Ming was very powerful, he was also very worried that Su Ming wouldn’t know how to teach.

Because all the officers were now desperately training their soldiers’ combat skills. Some even took advantage of the fortress ending its superluminal flight to directly pull their troops into space for training.

But Su Ming was still training the most basic things, and time was almost running out.

However, Hegas did not step forward to criticize Su Ming, only shaking his head helplessly.

At this moment, several officers from other teams walked past.

“Did you see that? Those battalions of the Third Legion aren’t practicing how to fight in close combat; they’re still practicing basics.”

“I saw it. I’m a bit confused about what their commander is thinking.”

“Time is so tight, and they still want to proceed step by step.”

“I also think it’s quite absurd, but I heard their commander is that Major Su Ming.”

“That guy’s strength is quite strong, but it feels like he doesn’t know how to teach!”

“Who knows.”

Su Ming heard their discussion but didn’t care at all. Instead, he continued to operate on his wristband, constantly perfecting the crash course training.
