Chapter 240 Opening Ceremony, High Popularity
The Mecha League is held every three years.
Apart from anything else, the opening day will definitely be a lively occasion.
Although the attention this year is not as high as in previous years, there are still many people who log in to the second world or watch the live broadcast to pay attention to the opening ceremony.
On the opening day, the salute sounded as the time came.
The Second World Mecha League Zone is open.
The camera turns to the opening ceremony.
After the countdown to the start of the competition ended, unlike previous years, when the opening speech was about to begin, it was not the royal family members who appeared in front of the camera, but several imperial warriors in military uniforms who were familiar to the public.
The broadcast ball floated above the VIP seats, and the camera swept across the faces of each officer.
When it was the turn of the Fifth Army's signature figure, Major General Si Ming, to appear, at the same time, the people of the empire who were squatting in front of the cameras across the empire immediately burst into warm cheers.
“Wow!!!! Who did I see!!!!”
"It's actually Major General Si!!!"
"Why did my boyfriend go to the opening ceremony? If I had known this, I wouldn't have refused my best friend when she asked me to go with her a few days ago."
"Ahhh! I originally thought that since I'm only a sophomore this year, I wouldn't get any good grades if I participated, so I thought about waiting another three years, until my fifth year, to go. If I had known that the Major General would be here today, I would have gone to embarrass myself!"
"The person is at the scene, the major general is cold and lustful, slurp slurp~~~"
"The soldier before the Major General came up was also quite handsome. Could he be a new recruit?"
"The one who can give a speech at the opening ceremony is definitely not a new recruit. I think I've seen this person before. He seems to be a lieutenant colonel in the Third Regiment."
"Lieutenant Colonel? He looks even younger than Major General Si! So impressive!"
Today, each of the six legions sent an officer to replace the royal members who were in charge in previous years. Everyone took turns to go on stage to deliver a speech and announce the opening.
When Si Ming came on stage, Ye Jiaojiao was sitting in the audience with Yun Che and Ye Xiao.
As people with connections to the Fifth Army, Ye Jiaojiao and her colleagues held prime positions. As soon as Si Ming came on stage, Ye Jiaojiao couldn't take her eyes off him.
Si Ming is undoubtedly handsome in his major general's uniform.
Maybe you can't feel enthusiasm from him, but you can definitely feel the iron-bloodedness of war and the respect that should be given to soldiers.
"Junior sister, your saliva is flowing." Yun Che was sitting on the left side of Ye Jiaojiao. He noticed the movement beside him, turned his head and glanced at her. Seeing that his junior sister was already deeply obsessed with love and there was no cure, he felt depressed.
"Ah?" Ye Jiaojiao subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, but it was in vain. Now even Ye·Sistercon·Xiao couldn't bear to look at her anymore.
Is my stinky brother-in-law really that handsome?
Do you need to be so obsessed?
Forget it, forget it, the elder sister cannot control the younger brother.
-
The Fifth Army is an upright, enthusiastic, and democratic place. In the end, when no one else was suitable, Si Ming did not embarrass Edwin and "took the initiative" to stand up and became the Fifth Army's living signboard.
After making an official speech and using his eyes to force away the talkative host who wanted to ask him questions, Si Ming came down from the stage and went straight back to the VIP seats.
As soon as I came back, I was met with pairs of eyes that were secretly looking at me.
Among the six people in the VIP seats, the one with the highest military rank was Lieutenant General Gray of the First Legion, and then there was Si Ming himself.
The First Legion is controlled by the royal family. Since no members of the royal family will be present this year, it would be reasonable to send a lieutenant general to take charge.
Apart from these, the rest were colonel-level officers.
Joyce was from the Third Army, a lieutenant colonel, the lowest-ranking officer in the VIP section. Logically, he shouldn't have been in this situation, but because of what happened yesterday, his superiors disliked him and sent him here.
Because he was pushed out at the last minute and had the lowest military rank, Joyce just went on stage and showed his face. After he left the stage, he remained quiet, trying to keep a low profile as much as possible until the end of the opening ceremony.
Si Ming had a cold personality, and several colonel-level officers didn't dare to talk to him. After Si Ming returned, everyone tacitly fell silent. Only Lieutenant General Gray dared to start a small talk: "Major General Si, I heard you went to Chunfeng Tower yesterday?"
There was only one day between the opening of Chunfeng Building and the start of the Mecha League. The news of the big boss's catwalk show swept across the Star Network in the first place. Almost everyone who had internet access at home knew about it.
Si Ming didn't believe that Lieutenant General Gray was unaware of the situation.
He asked this question, clearly throwing out bait.
Si Ming glanced coldly at Lieutenant General Gray. He remained silent, but Gray didn't feel embarrassed. He continued, "Jane's gone too. When she came back, she said the natural food sold at Chunfeng Tower was especially delicious. It was a pity that she wasn't very lucky and didn't have the chance to taste that S-level medicinal food."
As soon as the words "S-level medicinal food" came out, Si Ming and Gray noticed that the breathing of the colonel-level officers around them all stopped for a moment.
"Major General Si, does S-level medicinal food really have such rich energy?" The Fifth Army and the Second Army were on good terms. The colonel sent by the Second Army was a carefree man. After listening to a few words, he was really curious and came over.
"It's true." Lieutenant General Gray, who didn't wait for Si Ming to speak, intervened enthusiastically. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Joyce intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that someone has already taken that medicinal food and successfully advanced."
"Advance?!!"
"Lieutenant General Gray, can you tell me more specifically? What level did you get promoted to?"
"Could it be Joyce who advanced?"
"Joyce?"
"Hmm." Joyce forced a stiff smile as he was stared at by a group of officers who outranked him. "I took my daughter to Chunfeng Tower for dinner yesterday. I was lucky enough to win a herbal meal. I wanted to give it to her, but President Jiang of the Gourmet Association said he was worried about the child being too young, so..."
Upon hearing this, the two colonels of the Fourth and Sixth Legions exchanged a glance, a dark glint in their eyes. Lieutenant General Gray, however, maintained his friendly expression. "I remember Joyce's mental strength was A+ before, right?"
"Yes, to Lieutenant General Gray." Being asked so clearly, Joyce tried hard to control his expression, but in fact, his back was already soaked with sweat.
Joyce took his wife and daughter to Chunfenglou for dinner simply because she and her daughter liked natural food. Winning the prize was an accident, and eating the medicinal food was a token of his daughter's affection.
He was thinking too simply.
First, his immediate superior found out about this and sent him here due to his narrow-mindedness.
Now it was said in public by Lieutenant General Gray
He doesn't know if his "good luck" will turn into bad luck.
"It was A+ before, so wouldn't it be promoted to S now?"
"A medicinal meal can actually allow a person to directly cross the threshold of S-level. It's incredible. I wonder what happened to the others who ate the medicinal meal? If they all advanced, it would be really..."
"The new products launched by the Food Association this time are really amazing. I hope there will be more in the future."
Joyce was in the same situation as Yan Han at the Fifth Army Command, both of them were promoted from A+ to S level. However, Yan Han's situation was blocked by the Fifth Army and no one knew about it, so Joyce naturally became the first person.
The other officers expressed their feelings one after another, but how much sincerity and how much sarcasm were in their words?
Everyone was thinking about different things. At this moment, the iron-headed colonel of the Second Legion suddenly spoke up, "Do you think anyone didn't eat the S-level medicinal food yesterday and is planning to resell it? I want to advance too! I'm willing to pay a high price for it!"
