Time flies like an arrow, and the days pass like a shuttle.
As events unfolded both internally and externally over the years, various aspects of the Empire gradually changed. In preparation for the great war four years ago, the military academy's service system was temporarily altered, but after the subsequent great war that shocked the entire universe, this regulation was abolished two years ago.
Now all military academy students are following the old rule of serving in their third year of university.
As a junior, Lowell watched his classmates chattering about which legions they were going to serve in after class, and he was eager to join their conversation.
However, everyone present was so engrossed in their conversation that he couldn't manage to jump around on the sidelines.
Just as he was feeling a bit frustrated and was about to turn around and vent to his friend online, he turned around and saw a male classmate with an unfamiliar face sitting in the corner of the classroom.
He didn't have much of an impression of this person; how could he remember that there was no one there before?
"Hey, you look unfamiliar. Are you in our class?"
Lowell, who couldn't stop talking for a moment, decided to strike up a conversation with the unfamiliar classmate. Judging from the other person's appearance, he was not good at speaking, so he would have a lot to say!
"Yes, I wasn't feeling well before and was resting at home."
The man's voice was deep and captivating, and his long, curly hair was loosely draped behind him. Seeing that he was looking down at his book and didn't seem inclined to look up, Lowell said that the man's appearance was understandable.
You can't see the faces at all, isn't that what it means to be a stranger?
"My name is Lowell, what's yours?"
"Mu Chen".
"Hey? Your name sounds familiar."
Mu Chen paused in his book-flipping motion. He hadn't really wanted to say his name, but the other person's enthusiasm made him feel like he was seeing a carbon copy of Lu Xiaoyao.
That guy who always acts as a third wheel for him and Mingmei without even realizing it.
Even her nerves seem as thick as Lu Xiaoyao's.
He didn't mean to be narcissistic, but Mu Chen knew that those who participated in that battle were all extremely famous figures in their respective military academies.
This is why Mingmei didn't plan to join the army after graduation, and Chesil even wanted her to stay at the school, but she politely declined.
"By the way, classmate, which legion are you planning to serve in?"
Sure enough, after exchanging names, the guy in front of them revealed his true intentions.
"I……"
“I see you’re often resting at home, so you probably don’t know the current situation. Listen to me, I know a lot! Let me explain in detail…”
Before Mu Chen could finish speaking, the other person spoke first.
"First, let's talk about the First and Second Legions. They are the top-notch legions that protect our Central Star. Whether it's their size, weaponry, or financial subsidies, they are the best."
As he spoke, Mu Chen slightly raised his eyes and saw the thumbs-up raised in front of him.
"But they are still not free, and their lives are quite boring."
Lowell, being a socialite, has a lot of connections, and alumni are happy to share their experiences during their military service.
"The Third Legion has produced many geniuses, such as the family of Marshal Lu, the deceased Colonel Lu, and that... well, the living Colonel Lu, they are all very powerful! Not to mention that Colonel Lu participated in the great war against the Zerg back then, his strength was super strong, okay?"
However, what I admire most about him is his terrifying willpower. He was willing to undergo such experimental procedures for revenge! Although she later underwent surgery and used her own body, I still think she was incredibly cool as a man!
Speaking of Lu Gui, she should be called Lu Xuan now. Mu Chen remembered that Ruan Xun had talked to him about her online when his body was being reshaped.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Lu Gui's body. The material of his body was almost the same as Liu Liu's human body. It was just that Lu Gui's special condition was revealed to the public by the Empress Insect Mother.
In order not to burden the research institute and the main brain, and also to repay the favor of giving Lu Gui a new life, Marshal Lu and Lu Gui later took the initiative to ask to switch bodies back, using Lu Xiaoyao's somatic cells to create a new body for Lu Gui.
They even claimed that Lu Gui had health problems and that he had only managed to use the device for a few years to avenge his father.
When Lu Gui graduated, she reappeared in front of everyone as Lu Xuan.
Because Lu Xuan's body was restored much faster than Mu Chen's, at that time Mu Chen's body was being watched, studied, and ridiculed by Ruan Xun, Yan Hui, and Liu Liu and his group.
Finally, he said that Mu Chen himself had the problem.
Mu Chen: ...
"The Fourth and Fifth Legions also participated in the war back then, but... there weren't many famous figures among them." Lowell shook his head. These days, many young people still have a hero-worshiping mentality.
Especially in recent years, with the Zerg Wars still fresh in everyone's minds, the performance of the participating legions in the last war directly influences their choices.
"But I still want to go to the Sixth Legion. That's where a real man should go!" When he mentioned the Sixth Legion, Mu Chen didn't even look up, but he could feel the excitement in the person next to him.
"However, the quota given by the Sixth Legion each year is too small. I heard from my seniors that signing up for the Sixth Legion is purely based on luck. I don't know if I'll be fast enough when I officially fill out the application tomorrow."
He complained under his breath, then started "explaining" to Mu Chen why the Sixth Legion was so popular, and how thrilling and moving the Sixth Legion's battles were during that terrifying war.
"However, the Sixth Legion was also badly taken advantage of back then, but I really want to go..." Lowell didn't dare to say much about this matter, but Mu Chen slowly closed the book and said, "Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, the living conditions of the Sixth Legion... are actually not that good. In the past few years, the war has been peaceful. If there is no war, life there is not as colorful as you think."
