Chapter 120: Promoted to Second Lieutenant. Muas sent bugs to watch over them. They won’t…
With the Muaspa bugs watching over them, they won't be bullied by the bugs.
If Adamson's condition relapses, he will be sent to the prison camp's medical department for treatment.
There are no hidden rules in the prison of the capital planet, nor is there any bullying of prisoners that causes them to die silently while serving their sentences.
But Muas still used his status as a prince to arrange a good prison camp for them. The insects in it were of low level, and even if there were some minor frictions, they would not pose a threat to them.
After dealing with Adamson's matter, Linxi and Muas returned to the military headquarters and went to the mission hall.
Aqi had already submitted the completed task. Although it was a lucky coincidence, the task was genuine and Chong, who had verified it, had transferred the reward to them.
Once all B-level tasks are completed, they can take on A-level tasks.
But there is no rush to complete the tasks, they can submit some tasks that they completed along the way.
For example, some of the stolen goods seized from unknown organizations are listed on the task list.
There are all kinds of B-level and C-level tasks.
The Pink Skull Pirates were caught in a cosmic storm, but it is not yet clear whether the Star Bomb disappeared with them, so the task of finding Star Bomb-038 has been kept on the task list.
Lin Xi and Muas came back, immediately handed over the task, and then clicked submit.
The tasks on the task list not only have star coins, but also military merit points. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and Lin Xi does not despise him.
Major General Stan reported his work promptly and approved the matter quickly.
Although the process of eliminating the star pirates was a bit bumpy, the result was good. The stolen star bomb was destroyed and the hidden danger was eliminated.
In addition, Lin Xi and Muyas also performed well. Although their method of going deep into the tiger's acupoints and disregarding life and death was not advisable, the two insects successfully completed the task and escaped unscathed.
Since they returned safely, it can be said that they had planned it well in advance, but if there were any mistakes, it would be arrogance.
The results are different, and the superiors' judgments are also different.
But since the two insects are of the first type, it means that they have sufficient abilities.
"Awarded third-class merit and awarded the rank of second lieutenant."
Someone objected, "They're still new recruits. Staff sergeant is already a high starting point. Getting promoted to second lieutenant after just one mission is too fast, isn't it?"
The Fifth Legion is known for its rigor, and such speed may not be enough to convince the people.
"Putting aside their experience and accomplishments, are their military achievements sufficient for the rank of second lieutenant?"
"But they are still new recruits..."
"What's wrong with new recruits? Many are no less capable than veterans. They are highly capable and can complete their missions, and are therefore capable of shouldering the responsibilities of military service. Are we going to use this as an excuse to withhold promotions for new recruits who complete difficult missions?"
The opposing Chong was speechless for a moment. He didn't mean that. It was just that the recruits were still young and their attitude towards completing the task was not rigorous enough. He just wanted to temper the recruits' temper.
"Okay, I know what you mean, but luck is also a form of strength. Although they're a bit unreliable and their missions are half-hearted, their contributions are real. I've seen the footage reported by Major General Stan, and his abilities are quite good. This is also what the Marshal meant."
If they had given other reasons, they could still argue further. Since it was the marshal who spoke, the marshal would not be wrong about the insects. Maybe they really did have some outstanding qualities.
After the military merits were verified, the military ranks awarded were quickly announced.
Originally, Lieutenant Mike was Lin Xi and Muas's immediate superior, but in the blink of an eye, the two bugs became his equals and colleagues.
"Congratulations, congratulations! I didn't expect you to become second lieutenants so soon." Lieutenant Mike said.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you, Lieutenant Mike, otherwise we wouldn't have been promoted so quickly."
Lieutenant Mike said, "You're being too polite. I haven't done anything special. You guys have the ability and will be promoted sooner or later. I just passed on a message to advance the time a little bit."
Lieutenant Mike felt a little emotional. To be honest, he had indeed done something unnecessary by sending an old soldier to lead them, who might even hold them back.
Muas said calmly, "I still have to thank Lieutenant Mike. If Archie hadn't returned to the capital planet in time, our distress message wouldn't have been known, and the Legion wouldn't have rescued us so quickly. The day of our return would still be a long way off, and we might even be in danger."
Bugs all like to hear good things, and Muas's praise really touched Lieutenant Mike's heart, making him think that this was indeed a brilliant plan.
"No, no, this is my job. It's mainly because of your great fortune." Lieutenant Mike said with a smile.
After exchanging greetings with Lieutenant Mike, female soldiers from several surrounding dormitories also came to congratulate him.
It was soon evening, and at this time, insects generally wouldn't come to disturb us.
There was a knock on the door. Muas went to open it and saw three familiar insects standing outside: "Come in."
As soon as Parker, Sander and Wylie came in, they saw Lin Xi lying on the sofa like a boneless person.
Parker laughed and said, "I knew the boss was here, so I didn't even knock on your door."
Lin Xi lay there without getting up. She gave Parker a thumbs up and said, "You are so smart. Should I reward you?"
Parker shook his head. "That's not necessary. I've always been very humble."
Lin Xi rolled her eyes at him.
To Muas, this exchange of expressions was no different from flirting. He changed the subject and asked, "What brings you here?"
Parker smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated the eldest and second brother yet. They have been promoted to the rank of second lieutenant in such a short time. Their future is promising."
Sander and Wylie also sent their congratulations and carefully prepared gifts.
Parker said, "I know you two have everything you need, but the thought behind this small gift is immense, and it's a token of our appreciation."
Lin Xi withdrew her hand that was trying to refuse. Since it was a sincere gesture, there was no reason to refuse.
Lin Xi and Muas accepted the gifts.
"You guys didn't come here just to congratulate me, did you?" Lin Xi was a little unconvinced. When did Parker become so unconventional?
Parker said embarrassedly, "Boss, you see it but don't say it."
Lin Xi curled her lips: "What's going on?"
Parker smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that the new recruits' graduation season has passed. Biddy was not accepted into the Eight Legions, but he also entered the advanced star field line and was recruited into the logistics department by the army of the A-series planet."
Bidi's performance is still very good, otherwise he would not have been the representative to welcome the military parade of His Majesty the Male Insect. Now he has a good home.
The third-year students of the Enamel Military Academy this year are all very lucky. For example, Luo Wen, the little follower who has always followed the boss, did not join the army, but was allowed to stay in the Enamel Military Academy as an assistant teacher.
"Oh wow, Bidi is pretty good." Lin Xi was a little surprised. She didn't expect Bidi to be so competitive.
In this kind of situation, there is no harm without comparison.
Lin Xi looked at Parker, feeling somewhat disappointed: "Look at how hard Biddy is working, and then look at yourself."
Parker agreed perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, if it weren't for you, Boss, I wouldn't even be able to reach the edge of the advanced star field, let alone the capital star."
Parker felt quite proud when he said this. He got a free meal by his own ability, so it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
"Besides," Parker continued, "Biddy has a family to support. If I feed one bug, the whole family will be full."
Lin Xi said disdainfully, "How dare you say that? My uncle will probably be so angry that he will never receive your filial respect in this life."
Parker sighed, "Don't say that, Boss. My sire is still very young. It's no problem for her to give me a few more brothers."
In fact, Parker also thought about bringing his female father to live in the capital planet, but when he called, his female father was unwilling. He said that he had just joined the Fifth Legion and had not even established himself. He had no money, no house, and no car. How could he support him?
Anyway, it was rejected for many reasons.
Parker had no choice but to slowly save up star coins. When he could buy a small house in the capital star where every inch of land was valuable and settle down, he would bring his sire over.
By then, the female father should have no reason to reject him.
Lin Xi has seen through Parker's lack of ambition.
Muas sat down next to Lin Xi, took his hand, and interjected, "Have you contacted Biddy?"
Parker shook his head. "I just received the message. I haven't called to congratulate him yet. It's just right that you guys are back, so I thought it would be fun for everyone to be together."
Sander said embarrassedly, "Actually, there's another reason. Biddy sent a message saying that little Yell misses the boss, so..."
Wylie nodded quietly in the background. He had heard what Sander and Parker were talking about, but he didn't know Biddy. He just came here to make up the numbers and to take a look at the legendary cute little bug cub.
Hearing this, Lin Xi's laziness was instantly cured. He stood up straight and said, "Little Ye'er missed me? Then call me quickly. I haven't seen him for so long, I don't even know how big he has grown."
I heard that the Zerg cubs grow very fast, especially the female ones. They look different every few days and change even more dramatically after not seeing them for a few months. They haven't seen them for more than half a year.
Lin Xi was a little excited. Muas felt the other party's emotions and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Lin Xi seems to like the insect cubs, and he doesn't mind whether they are female or male.
Muyas was very pleased with this situation. He certainly hoped that their future insect cubs would be loved by the male father, but the problem now was, Muyas curled up his fingers, he had not yet conceived an insect egg.
The speed at which female insects conceive varies from insect to insect. Some female insects conceive quickly, like Bidi, who became pregnant after only one or two months. Some female insects conceive slowly, and it may take several years, more than ten years, or even decades for them to conceive.
Not to mention that male insects will marry many female insects, taking turns one a day, and each female insect will not be favored for a long time, making it even more difficult for her to lay eggs.
But he is different. He is the male lord's only female insect and also the female king. He occupies all of his time. If he still cannot conceive an insect egg, once Lin Xi's identity is exposed, even if he is a prince, the male protection association will force the male insect to take in a new female servant.
