Mingmei was upset that her older brother wasn't hiring people from their own side, and she was going to see how the Mechanized Legion on Hualan Star was recruiting.
As a result, Mingmei and Muchen had even more objections after attending the presentation.
Her brother had his sister-in-law tell him how bad the situation was on Hualan Star. However, during the presentation, she didn't mention it to the other students at all, and instead used Hualan Star's various delicacies to tempt them.
"Students, on Hualan Star, there's delicious food, beautiful scenery, General Mei Qiu, thrilling battles, and countless merits waiting for you. What are you waiting for?!"
The officer on the stage spoke with such passion that Mingmei, seeing the screams of many young girls around her upon seeing her second brother's image, couldn't help but want to say, "Please stay away from married men!"
"Aaaaaah!! I want to fight the Zerg with General Mei Qiu!!"
"Aaaaaah! I want some too!"
"Given the current situation, Hualan Star will definitely be the first to go to war, I'm going!!"
Mingmei couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but ask the short-haired girl next door, "Is it really worth going to such lengths for a married man?"
"What are you thinking about?" The girl looked speechless. "What does it matter whether General Meiqiu gets married or not? As long as he can fight alongside her, that's all that matters. Every battle that General Meiqiu commands is absolutely magnificent."
Bright and cheerful: =. =
What's with this "glorious" war stuff these days?
Do we need to consider looks when fighting a war?
"Aren't you afraid of the danger? We haven't learned everything yet. What if a fight breaks out?"
"Fighting just like that? I was prepared to sacrifice myself for the empire long ago when I joined military school. War is unpredictable. Besides, the opportunity to fight alongside my idol is so rare!"
Although Mingmei's question sounded unlucky, it was the truth, and the answer she gave was quite down-to-earth.
"But... in case I die... um, could the school at least give me a death knell in my untimely demise? Even if I'm not an outstanding graduate?"
Mingmei: "...?"
Have you thought that far ahead?
The girl seemed oblivious to Mingmei's choked expression and continued rambling on, "Let me tell you, the time the month before last, at night, when we were standing in the square listening to the funeral bells and looking at the lists of the fallen, what were you thinking about?"
"What?"
"In this interstellar world with billions of inhabitants, countless deaths have occurred during a single war, and so few are remembered... My goal isn't grand; I just want to be someone who will be remembered."
The girl smiled at Mingmei, but a deep sorrow lingered in her eyes. Mingmei looked at her, as if the other girl had planned her sacrifice from the very beginning.
...
"I saw it today, Meimei went to the mecha legion recruitment site on Hualan Star, I guess she'll be looking for you later."
Cheshire was sitting in his office, watching Meiqiu, who had just emerged from her mech, on the other end of the video call.
The tight-fitting combat suit perfectly accentuated the other person's muscular physique, and Cheshire couldn't help but blush when she saw it.
"Looking for me? Even if she does, I won't let her come back. With that mech of hers, the Zerg would be green with envy no matter where she goes. The Zerg on my planet Hualan won't dare to make a move for the time being, but if Meimei comes back..."
Mei Qiu curled her lip: "I can't drag the entire Hua Lan Star Region into this."
"What about Hu Mingli's side?" Upon hearing this, Chesil brought up the matter of the Sixth Legion. "That region is so chaotic, and the number of Zerg is no less than here. Aren't you afraid that if the Zerg attacks, you won't be able to get there in a while?"
"Hey, you can't say that. Hua Lan Star is used to peace. Even if everyone has a fighting spirit, they don't easily like to fight. If people find out that Mei Mei's mech is carrying so many insect queen crystal cores, she will mostly be criticized. But it's different on the Sixth Legion."
Mei Qiu chuckled as she spoke, saying, "They're real battle maniacs over there, they worship strength. With Mei Mei having this crystal core or something, she might become their idol someday."
Cheryl: "What's so great about your sister becoming an idol of a bunch of war-crazed lunatics?"
I don't understand men's thought processes.
"Don't worry, your uncle will take care of Meimei. She'll be fine. She'll be able to grow the most in the shortest amount of time in the Sixth Army."
Mei Qiu reassured Cheshire, "Don't worry, the elders in the family have taken note of Mei Mei's situation. Who knows, she might find a new place in the world after leaving home."
Recruitment scene of the Sixth Army Corps.
"The Sixth Legion has arrived! We are all one family! Here, we will help you realize your dreams of freedom!"
As a burly major spoke on stage, several sergeants beside him roared and shouted, creating a very surreal atmosphere.
"Want to kill the Zerg? Surely you can!"
"Want to kill space pirates? We've got that capability too!"
"Achieving financial freedom and buying a private mech? Sure!! Just rob... cough cough cough! Defeate a few more space pirates and you'll have them all!!"
Mingmei looked at the major who suddenly choked on his own saliva, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
You mean to say robbing space pirates, right?
Right?
Your Sixth Legion is even more of a space pirate than space pirates, no one can argue with that, right?
"Ooooooo!!!"
At the crucial moment, many people actually echoed this sentiment.
If the recruitment event on Hualan Star just now was mostly filled with girls, then this muscular "gorilla" is even more outrageous. Hearing about him fighting star pirates and killing insectoids is incredibly exciting!
"Join the Sixth Legion! We're one family! One family. Honesty and openness are our priority; we'll help you get rich and soar to new heights!"
The next second, before Mu Chen could even cover Mingmei's eyes, Mingmei saw the Sixth Legion members' clothes all burst open.
Mingmei: Ouch! It's so spicy...it hurts my eyes.
Mu Chen: !!!
For a moment, Mingmei felt that she didn't really want to join the Sixth Legion anymore.
For a moment, Mu Chen didn't really want Mingmei to join the Sixth Legion.
What is this thing?
That very evening, even Yan Hui tried to persuade Mingmei to go to the Sixth Army Corps.
“Go ahead. You’ll grow more there than you would with Mei Qiu. He’s busy setting up defenses on Hua Lan Star right now, and he won’t have enough time to give you special treatment when you go back. Under equal treatment, I think you’ll learn more from Hu Mingli.”
"Really?" Mingmei noticed that her uncle looked radiant again tonight, as if—"You made money again?"
"Is it that obvious?"
If Yan Hui's lips didn't curve upwards so obviously when he spoke, she wouldn't have asked a single question.
"Tell me about it, maybe I'll still be able to sell boxed lunches in the game in the future."
The only thing that could make her uncle so happy and profitable is his game company.
"Oh, we've found a new sponsor. No need to target the general public, it's a customized deal. If this goes well, won't the other legions be willing to foot the bill?"
"So, which legion paid the money?"
"Meimei, your uncle is telling you, the Sixth Legion is really rich, richer than people can imagine~ You have to seize this opportunity!"
Mingmei: "..."
