Hu Mingli actually says this every now and then, but the audience he speaks to is slightly different each time.

Sometimes he would ask, "What will you do on your own?"

Sometimes he would ask, "What about the soldiers under your command?"

More often than not, he would ask, "What about the people behind you?"

Others think the Sixth Army Corps is a war-crazed corps, always either on the road to war or fighting, but only the soldiers stationed here truly understand why.

Only those who have lived here all this time can understand.

Because they understand that the people of the Canglan Starfield also have a considerable reputation in the outside world. Whoever mentions the Sixth Legion, the people of the Canglan Starfield will tell you what a cyber troll and a real-life boxing champion are.

"Major General, we will urge them to intensify their training!"

They were stumped by Hu Mingli's series of questions and didn't know what to say. Apart from ensuring they would strengthen their training and not be looked down upon by the newcomers, they seemed to have no other options.

Talent is something that sometimes hard work can't compensate for, but that's not a reason for them to give up on themselves.

Looking at their serious expressions, Hu Mingli didn't criticize them too harshly. He then turned to the situation in the game and said coldly, "After you come out, all of you will undergo additional training. Also, you are not allowed to participate in any battles for six months, including yourselves."

"Ah, this..."

Upon hearing that they couldn't go out to fight, everyone present became restless.

"Why, Major?"

"Why? What? With the situation under your command like this, don't you, as superiors, bear any responsibility?"

They've been retraining for the past six months, so of course you should supervise them. And—how about this, after the game ends, you guys go in and play a round too.

"I want to see what level you guys are at. This game allows NPCs to exist; I want to see if you're doing training in addition to supervision."

After Hu Mingli finished speaking, everyone fell completely silent.

Everyone: ...Qian Qianren

Their entry into the game is not as simple as it is for these people now.

Now, everyone's concern has shifted from their own soldiers to themselves. _(：3」∠)_

Those outside the game were filled with anxiety, while those inside were incredibly excited after playing the game!

It was so awesome!

Where do we go next?

The group, now in high spirits after their successful hunt, were itching to have another go at it.

"Let's find someone we know to join us first." Sun Yunzhong's mind was still clear. "The small number we encountered just now was a minority. Most of them, and even more likely, are the groups that just entered the game. We're not confident we can handle them with our current strength."

"Moreover, they can't just sit around doing nothing in groups. They'll continue to unite with their companions and hunt down any lone ones like us. We need to do the same thing as them now: find our teammates and kill any lone ones."

After Sun Yunzhong finished explaining their plans, the group returned to the starship one after another, including Mingmei and Muchen.

As soon as they entered the starship, they naturally attracted everyone's attention, especially the bright and beautiful mecha that had not yet appeared, which made them extremely curious.

"Meimei, your mecha... you haven't taken it out much lately, but I just saw it, it's so cool!"

Although it wasn't the first time Hu Yue and the others had seen it, she could still tell that the mecha was specially designed for Mingmei.

Li Yuan had told her before that the bright and beautiful mecha style did not come from the mecha master of the Li family, and there was no one else in the entire empire who could make such a thing except the Li family.

Clearly, the radiant mechs did not originate from the Empire.

The Federation also has very famous mecha design masters.

It was clear that Mingmei's family had a powerful background, which wasn't solely supported by her brother, Meiqiu. Li Yuan, however, became curious about Mingmei's family.

Sometimes, when he listened to them talk, he noticed that Mingmei seemed to have many brothers and sisters.

In interstellar space, it's truly rare to find a single mother with many siblings.

"My rack is actually fine."

Overwhelmed by Lu Xiaoyao's relentless questioning, Mingmei managed to utter only this one sentence after a long pause. Then, she added modestly, "Besides being able to fight a little, I don't seem to have much else to offer."

Everyone: ??

"Isn't the point of a mecha to be able to fight?" A straightforward classmate disagreed with Mingmei's "humility," only to hear Lu Xiaoyao ask resentfully from the side, "Isn't it okay if it's good at taking hits?"

Everyone: ...

Ah, they've forgotten about Lu Xiaoyao, this S-class mecha whose attacks are weak and whose defenses are bizarre.

In common understanding, S-class mechs should be like Mu Chen or Ming Mei, so Lu Xiaoyao's path is something that has never been imagined.

"Alright, alright, let's rest first. Next, we need to go to another location to meet up with the others." Sun Yunzhong coughed lightly, glanced at Mu Chen, and immediately spoke up for Mingmei, relieving her temporary distress.

After the group obediently dispersed and continued with their own business, a few who were already quite familiar with Mingmei stayed behind and once again approached her, quietly inquiring about her mecha.

“Jinyi.” Mingmei introduced her mecha's name to them, and Lu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up: “'Jinyi' and 'Subo' match so well, both in name and color!”

In response, Mu Chen, who had been standing next to Mingmei, lowered his head slightly and unconsciously curved the corners of his lips into a smile.

Just because Lu Xiaoyao is so cooperative in praising him and Mingmei, he can still take Lu Xiaoyao along.

"Is that all you've got? →_→"
