Chapter 1067 - 426: Misfortunes Never Come Singly (5-in-1) (Part 5)

"Honey, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just feeling touched. Back then, the three of us promised to make a mark together, and in the end, only I..."

Chen Tong said, finally letting out a long sigh.

"Sorry, it’s all because of me."

"Don’t say that. Although I lost my ideals, I never regret coming back for you."

"Hmm."

Zhao Ran listened to Chen Tong’s words and leaned her head on his shoulder, revealing a happy smile.

....

The next day, in the central control room of the Wind Moving.

After Su Ming had everything arranged, he walked to the command chair and sat down.

At this time, Timi reported to Su Ming.

"I’ve sent the summary information for the City Test to your bracelet."

"Hmm, set sail for Starlight City."

Su Ming said to Timi.

"Okay!"

Timi nodded in agreement, then instructed Li Menghan and others to set sail.

Su Ming sat in the command chair, raised his bracelet, tapped a few times, and projected the operation interface in front of him.

He was interested in pulling up the scores of the Mecha Department candidates from the Thirteenth District.

People like Rhein, having nothing to do, gathered around to watch. They looked at the displayed data and complained one by one.

"Damn, how did they score this? This person’s mecha sub-score is 13?"

"This one is even more absurd, only 3."

...

"Normal, look at this one called Cheng Hui; it’s very good."

Su Ming suddenly saw a student named Cheng Hui whose score was very impressive, with the mecha sub-score as high as 68 and the comprehensive paper score 260.

"Indeed, impressive!"

People like Rhein nodded in agreement.

"This one is also good."

Su Ming continued browsing and quickly found a student named Bikda, whose mecha sub-score was also 62.

He checked Bikda’s cultural score, which was also 253.

Following that, Su Ming scrolled down and saw several more students with outstanding scores.

"Boss, it seems the students from the Thirteenth District aren’t bad; at least there are many top students."

People like Rhein said with a smile.

Su Ming heard Rhein’s words and was intrigued, quickly checking other students’ scores, opening their files, and the colleges they attend.

Lower City District · Kain Welfare Academy, Upper City District · Mite College, Upper City District · Mint Middle School....

Su Ming looked at the file information, and his smile gradually faded, his expression becoming very grave.

"Boss, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Su Ming’s expression become very solemn, Rhein quickly asked.

"The scores seem off."

Su Ming said with a sullen face.

"Ah? Boss, don’t scare us. We swear we didn’t accept bribes or engage in favoritism."

Rhein and the others’ faces slightly changed as they hurriedly assured.

"It’s not your problem."

Su Ming replied confidently.

"Then what’s going on? We can’t see any issue with these scores?"

Zhang Yi asked in bewilderment.

"I’m familiar with the Thirteenth District’s level; there shouldn’t be so many top students."

Su Ming said with great confusion.

"Damn, how are they cheating? We’ve been so strict."

People like Rhein were even more shocked by Su Ming’s words.

"I don’t know."

Su Ming took a deep breath and said.

"Then what should we do about this?"

Everyone looked at Su Ming.

"You all don’t need to worry about this; I will handle it. Send me those students’ previous files."

Su Ming said firmly.

"Okay!"

Rhein and others replied.

...

After a long while.

Wind Moving lands at the Starlight City Imperial Court Academy Interstellar Airport.

Su Ming assigned Rhein and others to handle those cheating students while he headed to the Imperial Court Academy’s comprehensive conference building for a meeting.

Before long, Su Ming arrived at the comprehensive conference building.

As he walked into the meeting hall, he saw numerous exam proctoring officers, all chatting and laughing as they discussed this City Test.

"Su Ming!"

A familiar voice called from behind.

Su Ming turned to see Vice Admiral Alifei approaching, looking a bit uncomfortable.

"Alifei, you’re here too, what a coincidence!"

"Yeah, damn it, some bastard mentioned my name to Vice Principal Fleck, making me proctor in Rain Capital; I almost couldn’t take it!" Alifei complained bitterly.

"Cough cough, how did the proctoring go?"

Su Ming asked awkwardly.

"It went okay, although there were some issues, at least I identified quite a few promising talents, worth the proctoring trip."

Alifei said contentedly.

"Were there many promising talents?"

Su Ming asked with a flicker of interest.

"Quite a few. Rain Capital has several top students this year. By the way, how did you end up proctoring too? Did someone draft you?"

Alifei said with a laugh.

"Just like you, I was drafted out of the blue."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

At that moment, footsteps were heard.

Everyone turned to look and saw an elderly man with black spots and wrinkles on his face, gentle demeanor, bald head, and wearing high-level administrative attire, entering with a group of subordinates.

"Minister Zhou Jing has arrived, the summary is about to begin, let’s quickly take our seats."

Alifei glanced at the old man and said to Su Ming.

"Alright!"

Su Ming and Vice Admiral Alifei headed for the front row and sat in the first row.

At this time, Zhou Jing stepped onto the podium and said kindly and courteously.

"Thank you all for your hard work. This year’s City Test is finally over. How do you feel about this year’s candidates?"

"Not bad, although there were quite a few cheating students in the Fourth District I proctored, there were also numerous top students!"

"Same for me."

"My side wasn’t bad either; in a few years, it will surely produce many talents, ensuring there are successors."
