"Special quota? That was a unanimous decision made by us examiners after discussion. You performed so well, and yet we compare you with other candidates? Isn't that bullying?"
"It's okay, you guys deserve it—not just you, your teammates are all excellent too. If it weren't for that Wu guy's mischief, I would have packed up your entire team and sent them all to Yinhui's reserve team..."
"Don't worry about the special recruitment spots. You'll definitely all get one! If even you can't get one, then what's the point of this special recruitment?"
"But if you ask me, you should just come to Silver Glory and start accumulating military merits sooner rather than later. By the time others graduate from the War College after four years of hard study, you might already be a major!"
Hearing the voice message from Zhou Feng in the terminal, Gu Qiongsheng shook his head in a helpless manner and replied with an emoticon that said "I'm very grateful".
Zhou Feng was so enthusiastic that he had been looking for topics to chat with her all this time.
When the league issued an announcement today, they hurriedly sent a message to remind Gu Qiongsheng, fearing that he might not see it.
In addition to the issue of the special league quota, Zhou Feng also told her that with the efforts of her and Chief of Staff Wu and others, the cases of Lu Yuanji and Zhao Qingke have entered the trial process.
Lu Yuanji encountered some troubles because he was involved with senior military officials, but the final result would definitely be good - the Federation held this inter-school league to set a benchmark for reform, and Lu's father dared to tamper with this game, which just happened to run into the Federation's gun for rectification.
Punishment and demotion are certain. As for whether he will be dismissed, it depends on whether Mr. Lu has done anything clean in other aspects over the years.
According to Zhou Feng's guess, this kind of behavior of using power to seek improper benefits often only occurs zero times or countless times.
Therefore, as long as the federal government decides to conduct a strict investigation, Mr. Lu will definitely not end up well.
The situation on Zhao Qingke's side was even more serious, but fortunately, Chief of Staff Wu and his men blocked the news from the beginning, and then immediately launched an investigation. After finding evidence, they attacked with lightning speed and quickly took Zhao's father away.
With a daughter like Zhao Qingke, Zhao's father was no tough nut to crack. After a few threats from Lieutenant Colonel Zhou, he immediately confessed everything - based on their family's confessions, the Federation might be able to uncover an entire gray industry chain this time.
"But Qiongsheng, you must be careful too," Zhou Feng warned. "Shunxing Group is under investigation, and I'm afraid this will affect some of the people above them. They may not say anything on the surface, but they might cause trouble for you behind your back."
"Alas, no matter how far things develop, there will inevitably be cancer within humanity."
"So... hurry up and come to Yinhui. I, your sister, will protect you closely and will never let anyone touch you. Ordinary people don't get this kind of treatment. Would you like to consider it?"
Gu Qiongsheng looked at the message, smiled helplessly, and changed the subject: "By the way, Sister Zhou, I have a teammate, and I haven't heard from him for a while. Could you please help me find out about him?"
"Yes, he's a member of our team, his name is Qin Yuan."
In the interstellar age, the medical level of the Federation is far superior to that of the past. For example, Zhou Qing, who suffered such a serious puncture wound, had it all healed in a few hours and was able to go to school as usual today.
Only Qin Yuan has not been heard from.
Gu Qiongsheng and other teammates climbed over the wall to the small courtyard, but found it empty and there was no sign of anyone returning.
All the terminal messages sent to Qin Yuan fell into the sea and no one responded.
Although Gu Qiongsheng had specifically observed Qin Yuan's injuries before leaving Weilun Star and confirmed that the young man was not in danger of life, the fact that there had been no news for such a long time still made them all very worried.
But what Gu Qiongsheng didn't expect was that after she asked this question, Zhou Feng, who had been chatting enthusiastically, suddenly got stuck.
After a long time, he replied: "Don't worry, I will help you check."
Then there was no movement.
What's going on?
Gu Qiongsheng wondered doubtfully, he had clearly already helped Qin Yuan recover from the illness, so would there be any difficulties in his subsequent recovery?
The other team members were also puzzled, but in the end, they all comforted Gu Qiongsheng: "It's okay, Boss Qin will definitely be fine. It may be that he has consumed too much mental energy, so he needs some time."
"When he wakes up, he will definitely contact us as soon as possible."
When Qin Yuan made the move that turned the tide of the battle, the team members were dizzy or injured. Only Gu Qiongsheng and Tan Yao, who was still fighting against the rift worms at the time, saw everything.
After their injuries healed, the others also learned from Tan Yao that it was Qin Yuan who killed the two bugs and saved everyone's lives. They were surprised and curious, and their admiration for Qin Yuan was like a torrent of water, unstoppable.
However, Gu Qiongsheng cut off the camera at that time, so the examiners did not see the final footage.
Recalling Qin Yuan's long-standing concealment and low-key behavior, Gu Qiongsheng guessed that he must have his own difficulties and could not be in the spotlight, so he later instructed the team members to just tell the outside world that they had concentrated their fire and won the decisive battle.
This is actually not wrong.
If Lu Yuanji hadn't intervened and given the Silent Worm a burst buff, they would have won easily.
However, if Lu Yuanji had not made that move, the Silent Bug would not have had the strength to recall the other Rift Bugs, and the students in the Safety Center would have suffered. From this point of view, it can be said that fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and good times will come after bad times.
Weng Wei, who was standing next to them, had a sad face as he listened to them talking about everything that happened on the planet Weilun.
Especially when Gu Qiongsheng told his companions that each of them could receive a "Third Class Merit," the little fat boy was so excited that he almost jumped up from his stool: "Captain, when your commendations come out, can you let me take a picture and send it to my parents?"
"Let them know what they have been wasting time on!"
"There's also a special recruitment list! Damn it! I have to show this to my parents—they've been eagerly awaiting the group's personnel transfers, but as soon as the league ended, the people who contacted them disappeared without a trace. I told them they were being scammed, but they still didn't believe me and kept waiting at home!"
Gu Qiongsheng hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, there's still the federal exam to come."
"I know," Weng Wei raised his head. "It's okay, Captain. I don't feel wronged. With my current level, if I take the exam normally, I have the confidence to be admitted to the Military Academy."
Although he missed the inter-school league, the outstanding performance of Zhou Qing and others in the league also gave Weng Wei enough confidence.
He is also very strong.
Just as strong as his teammates.
"Captain, just wait and see how I perform in the final exam."
The little fat boy held his head high and patted his chest: "You all have such good grades, I will definitely not be a drag."
…
Tianyuan Star, medical clinic.
All students seriously injured in the inter-school league were eventually sent here. However, after the doctors took over, they unexpectedly discovered that while these students' physical recovery took time, their mental strength was unusually active.
Their mental state was also very good, and they still had the energy to chat. Some of them even laughed softly while frowning and enduring the pain.
It really surprised the doctors.
They had seen too many patients crying, screaming, and feeling dejected after being injured, so they were quite uncomfortable when they first met these extremely sunny students.
After asking, they found out that the reason why the students had such a mental outlook was because a healer named "Gu Shen" helped them heal their mental power on the spacecraft.
By the way, that therapist is still a student who has not graduated yet.
It is said that he is very powerful in combat. He just led his team to kill two Zergs and won the league championship.
No, it cannot be called a championship, calling it a championship would be cheap, it should be called a "special quota".
The doctors listened to all this and were all very curious.
Someone went to ask Dr. Zou who had just got off the spacecraft, but unexpectedly, Dr. Zou gave a higher evaluation of Gu Qiongsheng.
“She’s the best therapist I’ve ever met.”
Doctor Zou said in a tone of sincere admiration, "If it's her, one day she might completely change the state of the healing system, or even change the course of the war between humans and the Zerg... who knows."
Seeing that Dr. Zou, who was always proud, said this, the other doctors became even more curious.
The top floor of the medical clinic.
The VIP ward was sealed off by layers of guards, and the entire floor was completely silent. It was called a whole floor, but in reality, there was only one ward, and the only patient lay quietly on the snow-white bed, eyes closed.
His skin was very white, even translucent, his face was pale, and his lips were faintly purple.
But even though he looked extremely weak, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if in the moment of unconsciousness, he saw something extremely beautiful, which made him happy and couldn't help but burst into tears.
General Qin's eyes were dark and his expression was serious. He sat by the bed without saying a word.
He had been sitting there for a long time, his lonely back like a rugged mountain. His gloomy aura frightened the medical staff, who subconsciously lowered their voices and stepped lightly as they passed by.
After a long time, amid the regular "beep, beep" sound of the instrument, the fingertips of the young man on the hospital bed finally trembled.
General Qin stood up suddenly.
The old man stared at the bed, and after a moment, Qin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
The young man stared at the incandescent lamp above his head in a trance. The white light fell on his black pupils, causing ripples in his pupils. The color became light and soft, and in a trance, became fragile and transparent.
Old Master Qin suppressed his anger and said, "Didn't I tell you not to use your mental power?"
“Why don’t you listen?!”
Qin Yuan stared at the ceiling in a trance, muttering: "I'm still alive..."
Mr. Qin: "You——"
"I'm still alive, Grandpa, I'm still alive."
Qin Yuan interrupted him, his chest heaving violently, his eyes sparkling with tears, his voice hoarse: "I used my mental power, but I'm still alive, alive!"
Mr. Qin: “…”
General Qin felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He was full of accusations, but suddenly he couldn't say a word.
Before Qin Yuan woke up, he was suppressing a lot of anger in his chest, like a volcano about to erupt. But at this moment, seeing his grandson crying tears of joy, the anger in Grandpa Qin's heart seemed to be extinguished by a torrential rain in an instant, and was replaced by deep helplessness and relief.
Yes, Xiao Yuan survived.
...It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive.
Moreover, this time, Xiao Yuan was able to survive, which meant that his physical problem had turned for the better. Perhaps in the future, Xiao Yuan would no longer have to isolate himself like he had done in the past three years, and his future would no longer be limited to the option of sacrifice.
His grandson endured three years of suffering and finally waited for a miracle.
Old Master Qin's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but open his arms and hug Qin Yuan who was lying on the hospital bed.
An old man and a child hugged each other tightly in the quiet ward, and gradually burst into tears.
