The four of them chatted along the way and didn't feel the journey was long. They soon returned to the dormitory with the supplies they had collected.
At night, the temperature dropped terribly.
Although it is summer, the temperature in the mountains at night drops below zero, with the lowest being minus 15 degrees Celsius.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the power in the dormitory was cut off on time and everyone got into bed.
There is no heating in the house, but fortunately the house can still keep warm to a certain extent and is not extremely cold.
Without the two duvets and the mattress, they would have been frozen sick tonight.
Lying in the warm quilt, listening to the cold wind howling outside the window, Sangyadi stammered, "N-N-N-N-N-N-Meeting, thank-thank you."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "It's nothing, just one night. You will naturally go to the supply warehouse to get more bedding the next day."
"That's different," Chu Qingjuan whispered. "Even though it's only one night, we're sure to get sick. Once we get sick, we'll need treatment, which will delay our training. This opportunity of ours is hard-earned, and if we're delayed for even half a day by this illness, it will be a huge loss."
Xia Chujian gathered the quilt in astonishment. "No way?! It's only half a day! And we have to train for two months. Who can guarantee that they won't get sick for two months?"
Mao Yonggui said quietly, "...Gene evolvers can guarantee that. We are not genetic evolvers..."
Xia Chujian thought for a moment and said, "In that case, what you said makes sense. However, although we are not genetically evolved, we have received the same special training opportunities as those genetically evolved people. This shows that we are more talented!"
The dormitory became quiet for a while and no one spoke for a long time.
Xia Chujian didn't understand why, but she didn't continue talking. She just turned over and prepared to sleep.
Tomorrow is the first day of training. We have to get up at four o'clock and roll call starts at five o'clock.
If she was late, she suspected she would be sent out immediately!
Thinking of Huo Yushen's face that was as cold as ice for a thousand years, Xia Chujian pursed her lips.
She wouldn't let him look down on her...
She is the one who will catch up with his record of promotions!
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard Chu Qingjuan sigh: "When we first met, we were the same. I won't hide it from you. Yadi and Yonggui both know that I come from a poor family."
"I got into university and took out a loan to go to college. But after graduation, I tried looking for a job several times but couldn't get one. Later I found out that my university grades had been replaced by someone else's. Somehow, my university grades were recorded under someone else's name. Someone else's rubbish grades became mine."
Xia Chujian suddenly came to her senses: "What? Your college grades can become someone else's grades?! How could this be?!"
The grades of college students in Beichen Empire are connected to the national network. After graduation, you can check them as long as you know your student ID number.
"...After my seventh unsuccessful job search, I contacted the company's HR manager and gave him some money. Only then did he tell me that the reason for rejecting me was because my university grades were too poor..." Chu Qingjuan said bitterly, "Then I checked online and found that those were not my grades at all!"
"I studied like crazy for four years in college. I never participated in any entertainment activities. I worked part-time when I had time, and I spent my time studying, studying, studying..."
"I clearly graduated with honors after four years of university, but as soon as I left, my grades were altered... or rather, they were misattributed. I don't know how they did it, but to be able to get a regular university to alter my grades internally, someone must be quite powerful."
"I complained to the school, but they threatened to revoke my diploma and degree," Chu Qingjuan said coldly. "I come from a very ordinary family, all commoners. I don't have any relatives or friends who are citizens, let alone those who can help me. I had no other choice but to sign up for the army."
"I joined the army as a college graduate. I should have been a second lieutenant upon enlistment, but because the system showed my college grades were too poor, the recruiting office only accepted me as a sergeant. That's a six-fold difference in pay! If I had been a second lieutenant, my first-year officer's allowance would have paid off half of my tuition debt."
"It can be fully paid off in two years. Therefore, I am dissatisfied. When filling out the application form, I directly stated that my grades were tampered with. I hope the military can help me get my grades back."
Xia Chujian's eyes widened in surprise: "...Sister Chu is amazing! I admire you so much!"
She really admires him.
She fully understood Chu Qingjuan's actions. It was a dangerous path that she took because she was pushed to the extreme and did not want to destroy herself.
Chu Qingjuan smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, now that I think about it, I was quite foolish and bold. If it weren't for the time when Marshal Huo was personally rebuilding the Fifth Interstellar Fleet, my situation wouldn't have been properly resolved."
Xia Chujian's heart moved: "...Huo Shuai? Which Huo Shuai?"
Mao Yonggui smiled and said, "Who else is Marshal Huo? Of course, it's Lord Huo Yushen, the current Inspector and Marshal of the Special Security Bureau and the former Commander of the Fifth Interstellar Fleet!"
Sangyadi, who had been avoiding speaking, also stammered, "Yes... I... I also joined the army when Marshal Huo was planning to establish the new Fifth Interstellar Fleet. I... I... I... stutter, and I'm... I'm not a genetically evolved person, but I... I... all my test scores... are... all excellent. Marshal Huo specially approved my enlistment."
Xia Chujian discovered that when Sang Yadi mentioned topics related to Huo Yushen, her stuttering was much lighter.
She previously thought that Sangyadi's stuttering was due to physiological reasons, but now she realizes that it might be due to psychological reasons.
