Mao Yonggui, Sang Yadi, and Chu Qingjuan chuckled softly.
Mao Yonggui said, "It seems like the Fourth Interstellar Fleet doesn't have any slots this year."
Chu Qingjuan added, "...Isn't that because their performance in last year's Empire Interstellar Legion Grand Tournament was so poor that they were directly stripped of all their slots?"
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
Holy crap, what's going on?!
She had no idea! Meng Guanghui, that leader, was such a pit! Didn't he say she could make up whatever she wanted...?
No wonder the Fourth Interstellar Fleet was "wiped out" this year, without a single special training slot, allowing someone from the Special Security Bureau like her to slip in.
But slipping in like this was so awkward.
Wasn't this implying that, no matter how capable she was, she was still limited by the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's reputation? After all, they were the bottom-ranked team in last year's Empire Interstellar Legion Grand Tournament...
Xia Chujian clenched her fist and asked softly, "If I do well this time, will the Fourth Interstellar Fleet get more slots next year?"
Mao Yonggui smiled and comforted her, "Of course. Each year's special training list is based on the results of the current assessment and the rankings in the Grand Tournament. As long as you're good enough, consistently ranking in the top five in every assessment, the Fourth Interstellar Fleet will get an average number of slots next year."
Xia Chujian thought, Then I'll just have to try my best...
She blinked and a thought crossed her mind: "What if I'm always in first place? How many slots can we get?"
Chu Qingjuan couldn't stop laughing. "...Damn! Chujian, you're not that fierce, are you?! If you're always in first place in every assessment, the Fourth Interstellar Fleet will definitely get the most slots next year!"
Mao Yonggui laughed for a while, then said, "Go to sleep early, so you can have longer dreams... We have to get up at four tomorrow, and it's already nine."
Xia Chujian: "..."
If I were at home, I'd be doing my second practice paper at this time.
But now she had to sleep.
However, thinking about having to get up at four tomorrow, she forced herself to sleep.
But before sleeping, she had a question to ask them.
"Sister Mao, Sister Chu, Sister Sang, I want to ask you, did you also fight Remnant Species Infected on that mountain when you came?"
As soon as she asked, her roommates said, "We did, what's wrong? Didn't you?"
"I did too..." What Xia Chujian really wanted to ask was that she wasn't a Gene Evolver, but she faced Rank B early stage Remnant Species.
If she didn't have that particularly high-end Ability Defense Helmet, she wouldn't have been able to do anything against those Remnant Species.
But her helmet was issued by the Dark Night Hunter Association, and Huo Yushen gave it to her.
The value of those items was beyond what her roommates' families could provide.
So Xia Chujian wanted to know how her roommates passed the assessment. Did they also rely on escorts?
"How many did you fight? Were you very powerful?" Mao Yonggui asked with a grin.
Xia Chujian thought for a moment and said, "Because those Remnant Species Infected have Mental Strength, and I'm not a Gene Evolver, I relied on my escort to fight them. I didn't fight myself. Sisters, how did you deal with those Remnant Species?"
Chu Qingjuan said, "Yes, Remnant Species Infected are very difficult to fight. We don't have Mental Strength, but our escort has Rank A Mental Strength, and he helped us fight..."
Xia Chujian was instantly relieved.
So that's how it was.
However, Mao Yonggui also said, "This Remnant Species Infected assessment has only appeared in the last two years. I heard from the veterans that in the previous years' assessments, there were no Remnant Species Infected at all. They just had people hunt in the forest and compete to see who hunted the most."
Xia Chujian was extremely envious, thinking, If it was still hunting, that would be great. I can guarantee that I can wipe out all the wild animals on this mountain within three hours!
After this, the dormitory gradually became quiet again.
Soon, Mao Yonggui, Sang Yadi, and Chu Qingjuan fell asleep, but Xia Chujian was still tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.
Coming to this unfamiliar place and being tired all day, she was originally a little sleepy.
But thinking about the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's problem, she felt uneasy.
She couldn't help but send a message to Meng Guanghui.
[Xia Chujian]: Chief, I heard that the Fourth Interstellar Fleet shouldn't have had any slots this year. How did you let me slip in?
But after pressing send, she realized it wouldn't send.
Looking at the Smart Bracelet's prompt again: No network connection.
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
How could there be no connection? She clearly connected to the school's network!
Xia Chujian looked at the prompt again and noticed a small line below.
It turned out that the special training base cut off the internet and electricity after nine o'clock every day.
"This is such a pit..." Xia Chujian cursed inwardly before finally falling asleep.
...
The next morning at four o'clock, Mao Yonggui woke up the people in the dormitory on time.
"Sisters, get up quickly! Hurry up and wash up! Then go to the cafeteria for breakfast. We'll gather at five o'clock!"
It sounded like there was an hour, which seemed like plenty of time.
But when they went to the cafeteria for breakfast, they understood why they had to get up at four o'clock if they were gathering at five!
Because queuing to buy breakfast in the cafeteria took at least half an hour! If you didn't want to get up at four o'clock, you probably just wouldn't eat breakfast.
Xia Chujian shook her head and followed her roommates to queue up.
She looked around.
Her height of one meter seventy-five centimeters made her quite tall in Mulan City, and she wasn't short here either.
Only a few of the boys were taller than her, and even fewer of the girls were.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "...They're all elite pilots from the Interstellar Fleet, why aren't they very tall?"
Mao Yonggui heard her and whispered back: "Because most people fly fighter jets, and it's inconvenient to be too tall."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She remembered the fighter jets she had seen, like Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet, which was so huge, what did height have to do with it? Even a three-meter-tall mecha could move freely in Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet.
At this time, she didn't realize that Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet, as an Inspector of the Special Security Bureau, was already one of the two most advanced and luxurious fighter jets in the entire Beichen Empire.
The other one was the Emperor's vehicle.
...
Rushing to the cafeteria, buying breakfast with her roommates, and finding a place to sit down, Xia Chujian saw several girls panting as they ran in, bought many boxed breakfasts, and then ran out panting again.
She looked at them curiously, while eating her Advanced Nutrient Solution, high-protein beef cake, and boiled White Phoenix Egg.
The White Phoenix Egg was a specialty of Kanli Star. It wasn't actually an egg laid by a so-called White Phoenix, but an egg laid by a very large wild chicken.
That wild chicken was half a person tall, its entire body was covered in white feathers, and it had long tail feathers. It could fly in the air for a short time. After being domesticated by the locals, it was named White Phoenix.
Each White Phoenix Egg weighed half a kilogram, and Xia Chujian could only eat a third of it. She planned to take the rest back to the dormitory.
At this moment, she heard someone talking behind her.
"Xiaolin, why aren't you eating breakfast here?"
"...Uh, I'm buying breakfast for my roommates, you guys eat..."
Someone whispered behind her: "Xiaolin is so pitiful, she was assigned to a dormitory with three Noble Ladies, and she's the only commoner. Now she's being used like a servant by the Noble Ladies..."
Xia Chujian turned her head and glanced at the speaker, just in time to see that Xiaolin. She was a very thin girl with big eyes, and her wrists, exposed outside her sleeves, were as thin as reeds, wearing a slightly oversized military uniform.
Mao Yonggui saw this and whispered: "Don't pay attention, this kind of thing is common. Doesn't the Fourth Interstellar Fleet have this kind of thing?"
Xia Chujian thought for a while and said, "Our fleet has it too, but I never pay attention to them, so they don't dare to provoke me."
In fact, she didn't know the real situation. The only Noble Lady she had ever been in contact with was Quan Caiwei. She was just making it up based on her own imagination.
Her three roommates glanced at her, looking somewhat disbelieving.
...
After finishing breakfast, it was already four forty-five.
The four hurriedly took their unfinished breakfast back to the dormitory and stored it in electronic lunch boxes.
Xia Chujian said, "The breakfast here is so lavish, I don't think we need to go to the cafeteria for lunch."
Mao Yonggui said, "Stop talking nonsense, quickly put on your backpacks and go downstairs."
She was the first to run out.
Next were Sang Yadi and Chu Qingjuan. Xia Chujian was the last to leave because she took an extra water bottle, which delayed her a bit.
But as she ran down the hallway, she heard someone banging on a door in one of the dorm rooms: "Open the door! Open the door! Can someone help me open the door!"
Xia Chujian went over to take a look and realized that the door had been locked from the outside with a card.
If no one removed the card, the person inside couldn't get out.
Xia Chujian thought for a moment, then turned on the camera on her Smart Bracelet, took a picture of the card and the door number, and then pulled the card out and threw it back in through the crack in the door.
The person inside seemed to see the card and was stunned for a moment. The banging on the door stopped, and then the door was opened, revealing Xia Chujian standing outside.
Xia Chujian realized that this girl was actually the same Little Lin she had seen briefly in the cafeteria that morning.
Xia Chujian said, "I saw this card in the smart lock on your door, so I helped you take it out."
With that, she turned and left.
This delay meant she only had one minute left until five o'clock.
Xia Chujian glanced at the distance and realized that she probably wouldn't make it in time if she ran down.
Instead of running, she went straight to the stairwell window.
She lived on the first floor, so jumping out of the stairwell window would take her directly to the assembly point outside, saving her the time of running down the long corridor.
When she arrived at the assembly point, the instructor in charge had just blown the whistle to signal that time was up.
Her roommates, who were already standing there, glanced at her out of the corners of their eyes, but no one dared to speak.
A male instructor, at least two meters tall, came over with four assistant instructors, each holding an electronic notebook to call out names from the list.
On the first morning of assembly, four new recruits had failed to arrive on time.
The instructor showed no mercy, saying, "We emphasize this every year, but every year there are new students who fail to arrive on time. I won't say much more. This opportunity is hard-earned, and if you can't even manage to be on time for the first day of assembly, this place is not for you. You four, leave the base immediately and return to your units."
The second update will be at 1 p.m.
