"Since thatâs the case, why does the Biological Machine Technology of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country and the Dark Star Empire look strong? It doesnât lose to the Federation at all?"
Su Ming looked at Celeste with curiosity and asked.
"Hmph, they call that technology? Letâs talk about the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country first. That Andro, despite looking strong, his final state is a biological mecha? Thatâs clearly a monster, the driver was swallowed up. Itâs obvious the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country has colluded with the Alien Race for cooperation. As for the Dark Star Empire, itâs even more straightforward and brutal. They donât even plan to keep the driver alive, treating them like disposable goods! And those few drivers who werenât discarded, their survival has nothing to do with their mecha technology, itâs simply because they are tenacious!"
"Makes sense!"
Su Ming nodded in agreement.
"Let me tell you, the Federationâs technology is the best. Be content with that."
Celeste said to Su Ming with great pride.
"Mhm."
Su Ming smiled and replied. Truly, without comparison, there is no harm.
At this moment, a chaotic noise came from outside the door, a bit rowdy.
Su Ming looked outside the door in confusion, slowly got up, and walked over.
After a few days of recuperation, although his body wasnât fully healed, he was able to move around basically.
When Su Ming opened the door and walked out, he immediately saw Rhein, Ankaga, Angel, and others holding a pile of gift boxes.
"Rhein, what are you all doing? With so many gift boxes?"
Su Ming asked puzzled.
"Boss, they were simply too enthusiastic, really impossible to resist!"
Rhein replied with a bitter smile.
"What do you mean impossible to resist?"
Su Ming was confused.
"Those girls, these gifts are all brought by us for you. Even we each have our share; itâs hard to refuse."
Zhang Yi replied with a wide smile.
After hearing Zhang Yiâs words, Su Ming felt a headache.
At this moment, Mia walked over and curiously asked,
"What are you all doing here? Why are there so many gifts?"
"Teacher Mia, these are given to the boss by the girls from headquarters."
Ankaga replied cheerfully.
Upon hearing this, Mia casually pulled a gift box from Rheinâs hands, then unwrapped the ribbon and opened it, revealing a box of chocolates inside.
"These chocolates are nice. Let me see which brand. Nuofei brand, these are pure natural chocolates, and theyâre quite expensive! Wait, thereâs a note here."
Mia opened the chocolates, tasted one, and showed a surprised expression, then flipped the packaging and said.
"What does it say?"
Rhein and the others asked curiously.
"Dear Su Ming, from the moment I saw you, I knew you were my destined Prince Charming, and Iâm your little sweetheart...."
Mia read as she ate.
Su Mingâs face was filled with embarrassment, quickly stopping her.
"Teacher Mia, please donât read it."
"Haha, little sweetheart...."
Mia laughed so hard she almost cried.
"Rhein, return all the items to them."
Su Ming said with a serious face to Rhein and the others.
"Huh? Boss, is this really okay? These are all good things, and returning them might seem callous."
Rhein hesitantly asked.
"Yes, returning them would be bad! The little sweetheart might be heartbroken."
Mia joined in teasingly.
"Teacher Mia, I havenât even said anything to you yet. Youâre too much; you knew these chocolates were expensive, yet you opened them to eat."
Su Ming scolded Mia.
Synthetic chocolates arenât expensive, but pure natural chocolates are ridiculously pricey.
Nuofei brand chocolates are very high-end.
"Fine, pretend I didnât say anything; at most, Iâll pay you back one piece."
Mia quickly conceded.
Just as Su Ming was about to say something more, his wristband vibrated, displaying a message.
He glanced at the message and then said to Mia and Rhein,
"Iâm not talking to you anymore; Commander Soraya is looking for me."
"Whatâs that old woman looking for you for?"
Mia asked curiously.
"Not sure."
Su Ming shook his head in response.
"Boss, do you want us to take you there?"
Rhein and a few others asked with concern.
"No need, Iâve recovered quite well now, you guys should quickly return the items."
Su Ming instructed Rhein and the others before turning to leave.
...
Not long after.
Su Ming took a mobile platform to the third level of headquarters, following the long corridor towards Commander Sorayaâs office.
Along the way, the soldiers responsible for vigilance and security saw Su Ming walking by and saluted with admiration.
"General Su Ming!"
"Mhm!"
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
He soon arrived at the door of Sorayaâs office.
Knock knock!
Su Ming knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
A serious voice came from inside the office.
Su Ming pushed the door open and entered.
Commander Soraya looked at Su Ming coming in, and her tense expression revealed a gentle smile as she spoke.
"Youâve arrived, have a seat!"
"Thank you, Commander."
Su Ming sat down in front of Soraya.
"Su Ming, is your body feeling better now?"
"Much better."
"Thatâs good. This is your military honor application report. Your achievements at the Abyss of Descent are all documented here; you just need to submit it to the Council for review."
Soraya picked up a file and handed it to Su Ming, saying.
"Commander, whatâs this?"
Su Ming asked somewhat surprised.
"Su Ming, given your current physical condition, Iâm also hesitant to let you carry out tasks on the defense line of the Abyss of Descent. So Iâm thinking of sending you back to the Third Planet to recuperate, where medical conditions are better."
