Chapter 43 Arrival at Spruce
Upon arriving in the Spree system and descending along the star path, one can see a vast expanse of red ocean surrounding the area, with large swathes floating and swaying in the wind.
"That's a plant unique to Planet Spruce, the Radiant Beauty. Right now, its leaves are turning fiery red. In spring, it's a pale pink, in summer it turns orange, in autumn it's the flame color we see now, in winter it's snow white, and in the coldest part of deep winter it becomes translucent and crystalline." Feng Ziyue, who had already moved to the seat next to Zhou Jiu, immediately introduced the Radiant Beauty outside the starship when she saw Zhou Jiu's gaze shift to it.
"I've been to Sprax Planet many times, Zhou Jiu. If you want to explore during this time, just call me anytime. I'm very good at having fun, and I guarantee you'll have a pleasant and fulfilling trip on Sprax Planet."
Perhaps because it directly indicated that she was a fan of Zhou Jiu, Feng Ziyue became much more talkative.
"...I'll trouble you again if I need anything." After expressing his gratitude, Zhou Jiu headed towards Sun You and Lin Xiu as he disembarked from the starship. The three of them were in the same group, but leaving early did not mean disembarking early.
Colonel George, who was in charge of the trip to Spuxing, walked in the first place, followed by Instructor Xiao Wen. Then, Zhou Jiu, Lin Xiu, and Sun You were replaced by other teachers who were following them, as well as Ye Yang, Feng Ziyue, and Lu Qi.
Now, they disembarked from the starship in the following order: Ye Yang, Feng Ziyue, Lu Qi, Zhou Jiu, Lin Xiu, and Sun You.
A flash of light appeared, and as Zhou Jiu went down, he glanced at the photography equipment with the flash on, then expressionlessly looked away.
After Colonel George finished his interview, Zhou Jiu heard Ye Yang's voice coming from ahead again. About ten minutes later, they started moving again, going directly out through the military passage and getting into the aircraft.
The three groups of people were separated.
The leaders at the front were in one aircraft, Xiao Wen and Ye Yang were in another, and the three of them were in yet another aircraft, and they gradually separated.
The signals inside the spacecraft were blocked, and the three were completely unaware that chaos had broken out on the StarNet.
#Jun acted like a diva for a week, ignoring his fans and leaving on his own.#
#Jun Yiye Yang gave an interview, expressing a friendly attitude towards the exchange program with Spuxington High School#
[Are you all alright? Is everyone alright? What kind of nonsensical headlines are these? They're all on the same flight. As freshmen, how can they possibly act on their own?]
[It's not hard to see that this lowly wretch from a desolate planet is rude.]
[What's all the fuss about? The mecha competition hasn't even started yet, and the fans are already arguing?]
One is a scavenger from a desolate planet who has never participated in a mecha competition, and the other is a mecha prodigy in various junior group activities. Don't scare that humanoid mecha! What if it's too scared to participate in the competition?
…
The aircraft landed at a very open location, where only a student wearing the Spree High School badge walked towards them.
The three people were taken directly to a small villa.
"Hello, my name is Sisi. This is where you'll be staying. If you need anything, just contact me or call the robot," the student said.
"Are there only the three of us? Where did the others go?" Lin Xiu asked.
Zhou Jiu noticed a slightly embarrassed expression on the classmate's face and heard him say, "...I'm sorry, I'm not sure. You should contact your supervisor."
After giving a brief introduction, the student quickly left.
"What do you mean? Where are our school teachers?" Lin Xiu looked at the empty villa, slightly puzzled.
"Who knows?" Zhou Jiu said. She didn't care much about these things; it was just sent over as a mascot anyway.
As Zhou Jiu walked inside, he checked for any surveillance equipment and turned off the housekeeping robot.
"The air here is so fresh," Sun You said.
“Yes, the temperature on Planet Spruce is also very comfortable.” Zhou Jiu had already checked their accommodations. After hearing Sun You’s words, he immediately understood that Sun You had something to say, and the three of them went to Sun You’s dormitory together.
Zhou Jiu pulled a bell jammer from the large pocket of Qi Qi's clothes, which was out of sight of others, and pressed the button.
Lin Xiu and Zhou Jiu both looked at Sun You.
"New information: The First Military District is searching for Gela Baird, a very important figure who possesses all the information about the First Military District's collaborative research on psychic powers with Spree Star."
Zhou Jiu leaned back in her seat, pondering the news. She and Lin Xiu exchanged a glance; it was quite impressive that Sun You had waited until now to share this information.
"The Volunteer Army wants this information?" Zhou Jiu chuckled softly.
"No, according to reliable sources, this research is very extensive, and such a large project could not have been accomplished by the Volunteer Army alone."
"The Volunteer Army's latest mission for you is to find Gela Baird, find their research materials and make them public, and bring down Ye Qing, the commander-in-chief of the First Military Region," Sun You continued.
Zhou Jiu looked at Sun You expressionlessly: "If I remember correctly, I had already left the Volunteer Army when I successfully escaped after being admitted to the First Military Academy."
"...Zhou Jiu."
Zhou Jiu leaned back and closed his eyes. "Don't call me. It's none of my business."
"Lin Xiu." Sun You hesitated for a moment, then called out to Lin Xiu.
“Youyou, feelings are feelings, and political leanings are political leanings; they can’t be mixed up. I can help you to an unlimited extent, and I can do more for you if you need it, but you’re asking me to persuade Zhou Jiu? I really can’t do that.” Lin Xiu spread his hands, somewhat helplessly.
"Our military status has not been cancelled in the Volunteer Army's records." After failing to find Lin Xiu, Sun You continued calmly.
Zhou Jiu opened his eyes, leaned back in his seat, and said with certainty, "So you're our superior? You knew this when we entered Military One."
Zhou Jiu recalled that she found specific information about Liu Ci but couldn't get close to him. Just then, she found information about Liu Ci's child, Chu Zhao. On the same day, she had a precognitive dream while divining, which made her determined to apply to the First Military Academy while the Third Military Region was still in control and had not yet fully grasped all the information. She also wanted to take this opportunity to leave the Volunteer Army as soon as possible.
When Lin Xiu shared his thoughts with Sun You, whose grades also met the admission standards, Sun You immediately objected. However, Sun You quickly added that she would also apply to the First Military Academy.
"So it was only after you contacted the higher-ups of the Volunteer Army early on that you changed your mind about my idea of coming to the First Army."
No wonder the application process for the Central Military Academy went so smoothly. Zhou Jiu couldn't help but think about the entire application and admission process.
Sun You remained calm and said, "Yes."
Lin Xiu's gaze shifted, and he tried to speak several times, but kept quiet after seeing the expressions on their faces.
