Xia Chujian placed the gun case in Huo Yushen's arms and said, "Take the gun away. I believe you won't let anyone discover the secret of this gun."
Huo Yushen said: "...You don't want money anymore?"
Xia Chujian said, "I don't want money, but I want to offset the favor I owe you."
Huo Yushen said, "Okay, then I still owe you three favors."
Xia Chujian regretted it for a moment. She should have canceled out the two favors...
But the words were already out, and she was too embarrassed to go back on her word.
Huo Yushen then said, "Don't worry, your master will come to me as soon as he finds out about this."
"He will never tell this to anyone else."
Xia Chujian said worriedly, "But you said my master is not very good at keeping secrets..."
Huo Yushen said: "This is his work matter, he won't say anything nonsense."
"Otherwise, he has so many military secrets, but I haven't seen him leak them."
Xia Chujian vaguely felt that Huo Yushen was insincere in his treatment of Su Buyan, and was afraid that he was secretly slandering Su Buyan...
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Well, since you trust my master, I have no choice but to trust him even more."
Huo Yushen said, "This gun of yours is only with me. I can guarantee that no one else will discover its secret."
Then he asked, "Is there anyone else in your school who wants your gun?"
Xia Chujian thought of Lecturer Lin.
She said: "My teacher, Professor Lin, used this gun for target practice before. He liked my gun very much, but he never said he wanted it."
Huo Yushen said, "Tell me about it."
Xia Chujian told Huo Yushen about how Lecturer Lin achieved good results at the shooting range using her gun.
Huo Yushen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, it's not a big problem, but it has attracted the attention of some people."
Xia Chujian was curious: "...Who? To be honest, although my gun broke the record in previous years, its actual performance is not even as good as the Judge No. 7 sniper rifle."
Huo Yushen said: "At the moment, it is indeed not particularly outstanding."
"But if more and more people ask you to borrow your gun for target practice, sooner or later someone will notice the difference."
Xia Chujian's pupils shrank sharply: "...then what about Lecturer Lin..."
Huo Yushen said, "If he asks you to borrow it again, don't say I took it. Just say someone came to you to buy the gun and you sold it."
Xia Chujian nodded: "...Okay, that's what I said."
Huo Yushen said: "I will arrange an account and transfer some money to you, but it won't be one million, of course."
Xia Chujian said, "I know. If others knew that I sold it for one million, it would be a lie."
Huo Yushen nodded: "That's it."
After talking about the gun, Huo Yushen was no longer so serious.
He said, "Are you going out on the school's interstellar exploration ship soon?"
Xia Chujian said: "Yes, according to the plan, we are leaving tomorrow."
"You've come at the right time. If you had come tomorrow, you wouldn't have been able to tell me this until I returned from outer space."
Huo Yushen's eyes flickered slightly, and he changed the subject as if nothing had happened, saying, "The military academy's space exploration ship actually belongs to the royal guard."
"It starts once a year, and the destination is an unknown galaxy in the starry sky, where there are legends of treasures."
Xia Chujian's interest was immediately piqued: "Treasure?! The legendary starry sky treasure?! No way! Is it true?!"
Huo Yushen said, "It's true, but this kind of space exploration has always been carried out jointly by the Space Exploration Force directly under the royal family and the Royal Academy of Sciences."
“Ordinary students don’t have such opportunities.”
"But ever since the Imperial Royal First Military University made space exploration a required course nineteen years ago, participating in space exploration has become the exclusive domain of the school's best students."
"Nineteen years ago, there was no Star Destroyer major in the school."
"At that time, the best major in this school was the Starship major, and only five students were admitted each year."
"So the first time participating in the space exploration activity is with five freshmen majoring in space mothership."
"Of course, after two years, it became the exclusive domain of freshman Star Destroyer majors."
"Until now."
Xia Chujian asked excitedly, "So what unknown galaxies have you visited? What treasures have you found?"
Huo Yushen was silent for a while, then said, "...Although I studied in the first class of the Star Destroyer major, I have never participated in any space exploration activities."
Xia Chujian was greatly surprised: "Why?! Why didn't you go?! It's so fun! So exciting!"
