Chapter 7 Moye Military Academy

The admission notices for Xu Lingqu and Xu Xizhen came within two days. The enrollment of Moye Military Academy was already coming to an end, and Xu Lingqu was able to jump the queue with the help of Xu Youwen.

Her B-level mental strength exceeded Xu Youwen's expectations, just above the minimum requirement for admission to the Moye Command Department. This made Xu Youwen's original plan of her testing C or D and having no hope of attending the military academy come to nothing.

Xu Youwen never thought that Xu Lingqu could test out an A or above. If he really did, he would have an excuse to ask his mother to change her mind about sending her to military school, so as not to raise a tiger to cause trouble.

Being stuck at level B, neither higher nor lower, left Xu Youwen with no excuse to do so.

It is so easy to get into the non-combat department of Moye Military Academy. When Xu Youwen was helping to run the operation, he heard colleagues complain that the registration for the combat direction of Moye Military Academy this year was all watered down.

The registration for the combat directions of the six major military academies is first selected from the best batch of local military academies in each galaxy. This has been exposed. It seems that even the galactic forces have begun to interfere in the internal affairs of Moye Military Academy.

Xu Youwen regretted even more that he had allowed his sister to enroll in Moye Military Academy, but the matter had come to this point and the die was cast.

Three days later, the one and a half month trial training period of Moye Military Academy will begin.

These days, Xu Lingqu is still basically staying at the Xu Mansion, while Xu Xizhen, whose goal is to become a mecha soldier, is basically taken by Xu Youwen to his friends in the military for extra training every day.

Seeing that her stepping stone plan was about to be realized, Lady Catherine's smile became more and more cheerful day by day, and her attitude towards Xu Lingqu also softened a lot.

Therefore, Xu Lingqu also openly let Liu Ming's Samoyed body enter the Xu Mansion through the main entrance - and got Mrs. Catherine to agree to keep a dog herself.

Liuming had been trying to get Xu Lingqu to take him for a walk in the garden these past few days. After all, after following Xu Lingqu to Moye Military Academy, he had been in closed-door training for at least a month and a half. He couldn't even notice the ring on Xu Lingqu's hand, as jewelry wasn't allowed during training.

"Why don't you just stay in this puppy life form and stay in the Xu Mansion and let Ms. Gina play with you and take care of you?" Xu Lingqu, who was forced to walk the dog, sat on a bench in the garden. He didn't quite understand why Liu Ming insisted on following him to the military academy.

Liu Ming returned to Xu Lingqu with a frisbee in his mouth and said incoherently: "You don't understand at all!" If it stayed in Xu Mansion, who would protect Xu Lingqu at Moye Military Academy?

The released frisbee flew away automatically again. In the interstellar age, dog walking can be fully automated. Xu Lingqu watched Liuming happily chasing the frisbee again, and began to wonder whether it was an SSS-type mecha or a real dog.

"Isn't Moye Military Academy the same school run by Yinhe? It's incredibly dangerous." Liu Ming, who had come running back once again, was probably tired. This time, he stopped running and lay down at Xu Lingqu's feet, chatting with her with his tongue hanging out. "Before, he opened this military academy and only admitted dangerous elements."

"It sounds like an interstellar underworld." Xu Lingqu was speechless.

"Almost okay?" Liu Ming emphasized.

"It's been so long, it should be a formal military academy now." Xu Lingqu stood up and prepared to run around the small garden a few times.

Liu Ming was used to it. Seeing his little master running a few laps and then gasping for breath like she was about to die, he couldn't help but run up to her and sighed, "How could you be so weak?! How did you wake me up?"

Xu Lingqu was speechless. She had been trying to exercise her body these days. But her condition was really bad. Running for a while would cause a fishy and sweet discomfort in her throat.

However, she unexpectedly discovered that she had a very strong control over this body. It was as if this was her own body, just much weaker...

"You are so weak. If I don't stay by your side, you will be doomed. Seriously..." Luminous looked up at its unfortunate host and was about to say something when a voice suddenly rang out.

"Who are you talking to?" A girl with long golden hair suddenly appeared in the garden. Xu Xizhen was dressed in casual clothes with a high ponytail, looking much more fashionable. She walked to Xu Lingqu curiously.

Xu Lingqu glanced at Liu Ming, who was lying at his feet pretending to be dead. "I was just talking to myself."

"Why are you still talking to yourself? If you want to talk, come to me." Xu Xizhen still maintained the same enthusiasm she had when she first met Xu Lingqu, like a golden retriever meeting a human. She glanced at Liu Ming and said directly and casually, "I heard that you got a puppy, sister. I just saw it today. Isn't it adorable?"

It is indeed a golden retriever. In its eyes, there is no bad person and no good dog.

Liu Ming bit Xu Lingqu's trouser legs and gritted his teeth in grievance. It couldn't even utter a word in rebuttal, which was really infuriating.

"I think it's cute." Xu Lingqu comforted Liu Ming a little and looked at Xu Xizhen, "Why do you have time to come here today?"

As Xu Xizhen is the most promising candidate among the younger generation of the Xu family to become a mecha soldier, Lady Catherine and Xu Youwen wish they could tie her up in the training ground.

"We're leaving the day after tomorrow. My brother said he'd give me two days off to help me not stress too much." Xu Xizhen and Xu Lingqu sat back on the bench together, swinging their legs. "Only those who rank in the top 20 during the Moxie Military Academy's tryout period will officially enter the Mecha Department and have the chance to become full-time mecha soldiers. I've been dreaming lately that I'm ranked 21st."

The cruel selection of military academy students' mental strength is just a threshold. Those who really fight in the field of mecha are all geniuses selected from thousands of people.

Xu Xizhen's mental strength level was measured to be A+, which was enough to meet the entry threshold, but it was not certain whether he could actually become a mecha soldier.

"If only I were an S+ like that pervert Shen Shouli, no one would doubt that he wouldn't become a mecha soldier. Even the military is eagerly waiting for him." Xu Xizhen sighed, "He actually signed up for the Moye Military Academy this time, which means he lost a spot in the top 20. Oh, I envy him so much."

Xu Lingqu, who was diagnosed as SS-level, was not at all nervous. There was even an SSS-type mecha lying at her feet.

Although it now looks more like a wronged marshmallow.

"His grandfather, General Shen Ruoshui, is the principal of Longyuan Military Academy. Why would he come to Moye instead of Longyuan? Longyuan is one of the best schools in the military academy league." Xu Xizhen was puzzled.

"Military Academy League?" Xu Lingqu became interested.

"Yes, the military academy on the federal side will also send people to participate. This is organized by the Skynet Group, so the entire process will be conducted in the simulated space on Skynet." Xu Xizhen explained.

It seems that this military academy league is no joke. It is basically a confrontation between the new military forces of the two major interstellar powers.

"Right now, we're basically relying on Longyuan and Dolanston to fight against the Federation. Their stronger opponents are the United University and the Qing Army." Xu Xizhen became inexplicably optimistic as he spoke. "So, with Shen Shouli joining the new class of Moye, our ranking in the Military Academy League this time can move up a bit, so we won't be at the bottom anymore, right?"

"Is Moye Military Academy almost at the bottom?" Xu Lingqu asked. Liu Ming, who was lying on her feet pretending to be dead, was extremely surprised. He raised his dog head and looked at Xu Xizhen in disbelief.

Fortunately, Xu Xizhen didn't notice it, and continued, "Yes, alas, Moye is a military academy founded by Admiral Yinhe. In its early years, it was unrivaled and dominated the military academy league for more than a dozen years. But since the passing of the second principal, Admiral Sheng Shu, Moye's class has been declining, and now it is completely at the bottom of the list."

From the strongest to the worst, the gap is really big

"I heard that Moye's downfall is related to Admiral Sheng Shu being a staunch advocate of war. Those old-timers who favor peace dislike him." Xu Xizhen leaned close to Xu Lingqu's ear and whispered, "Admiral Sheng Shu was an old subordinate of Admiral Yinhe. He firmly advocated war against the Federation, and so did his subordinates and those at the Moye Military Academy. Those old-timers who favored peace couldn't shake Admiral Sheng Shu, so after his death, they began suppressing and targeting Moye."

Even the strongest bamboo will be unable to lift its head due to the weight of wind and snow. Moye's tough bones have been worn down for more than ten years. Although her waist has not bent, it has broken.

In last year's military academy league, we took last place, a position we had never held before.

"I just can't stand them doing this. It's too bullying. It's like a slap in the face of Admiral Yinhe and Admiral Shengshu." Xu Xizhen was genuinely angry. "In the new military academy league, I'm going to make sure Moye ranks among the top again!"

"Good." Xu Lingqu cooperated and applauded her silently.

Xu Xizhen wanted to pull her aside to say something more when an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the garden.

Xu Youwen appeared with his hands behind his back and looked at Xu Xizhen.

"Brother! Isn't it my day off today? Why are you here?" Xu Xizhen looked at him warily.

"Mother wants to say a few words to you. She will be leaving the day after tomorrow, so she asked me to come find you." Xu Youwen said slowly.

After moving Lady Catherine out, Xu Xizhen left Xu Lingqu reluctantly. She hadn't said enough.

Watching the man walk away, Xu Youwen was still standing there. Xu Lingqu picked up a green leaf casually. This man was coming for her.

"Zhenzhen's gone, so I'll be frank with you." Xu Youwen looked at her and said bluntly, "Ranking points during this tryout period are very important. If there's a team-up, I hope you can stay away from my sister and not hold her back."

So it was because of this matter.

Xu Lingqu looked at Xu Youwen: "How can you be sure that I am the one holding you back?"

Xu Youwen snorted coldly: "Anyone with eyes can see it."

Xu Lingqu picked up Liu Ming and stood up: "Whether to form a team or not, the initiative is in my hands, right?"

"You..." Xu Youwen frowned.

Xu Lingqu passed by him and chuckled.

"It depends on my mood."
