"The Zerg are nothing special, nothing to fear!"
"Hooray! We finally got it done, and it was much simpler than I thought."
"Amazing! I think we're amazing! The Empire's No. 1 Military Academy is truly awesome!"
"Yay! I finally killed some bedbugs, so many! This feels so cool!"
"..."
Inside the warship, laughter and cheerful chatter filled the air.
But Gao Lixue's voice came again.
"Students, don't be arrogant or complacent. You may think it's easy, but don't forget the prerequisites."
"First of all, in terms of recruits, the teachers of the Empire's First Military Academy were all elites of various legions, and some are still serving. You are all students of the Empire's top military academy, the cream of the crop selected from among thousands, and will be future officers leading troops. Your overall strength is much higher than that of ordinary troops."
"Secondly, in terms of equipment, the Imperial First Military Academy equips each student with equipment far superior to that of ordinary troops, both in terms of quantity and quality. Many of the firearms and medicines used are the latest research results of the Imperial First Military Academy, which are very effective but have not yet been widely promoted. This is the second point."
"Furthermore, this planet, Shanhaixing, is one of the easiest to conquer at present. It is small, the Zerg are shallow and few in number, the Zerg are generally weak, and it is close to our main army. Therefore, it is easy. If we encounter other Zerg planets, we will not be able to conquer them so easily."
"In conclusion, our success is inseparable from these advantages. I hope everyone will not become complacent because of temporary success. The Zerg crisis is more serious and terrifying than we think. Please treat it with caution."
Gao Lixue's words were like a bucket of cold water, sobering everyone up considerably. The commander was right; pride comes before a fall. They understood.
After the battle, the teachers led the students in a review and improvement process.
The goal is to give these inexperienced newcomers a general understanding of the overall framework of the battle.
In this way, on various insect astrology courses carefully selected by the military academy, the teachers led the students to learn while fighting, and in just one month they conquered five major astrological courses. Everyone grew rapidly and their confidence increased.
Unlike the fervor here, the entire internet is filled with lamentations.
[Shop owner, where have you gone again? Are you abandoning this shop again? No, please come back and see us!]
[Oh my god! Oh my god! The fruit and vegetable store hasn't been open for a month! What's going on? I'm so scared, I don't want to think about it.]
[Shop owner, is there something you need? If so, could you please let us know so we can rest assured and wait for you?]
[Waaaaah, the shop owner is so mysterious! They appear and disappear so suddenly, then reappear and disappear again! Will you reappear next?]
[The first month after the shop owner left, I miss him.]
[Shop owner, are you in some kind of trouble? If so, tell us, and I'll do anything to help you, even if it costs me my life.]
[...]
The road ahead is long, and the store has been closed for a month, causing panic among netizens.
Many forces were overjoyed and tirelessly sent out online trolls to stimulate the fragile nerves of the public.
[The shop owner might have met with an accident. The Zerg are so rampant these days, many people die from their bellies every day. Every time I think about that possibility, my heart aches so much I can't breathe.]
[Yes, the shop owner is highly likely to have met with misfortune; otherwise, he wouldn't have just left without a word.]
So many accidents happen every day, so many people die unexpectedly, and the thought that my dear shop owner might be among them makes my heart ache. What should I do?
[Bullshit! Shut your mouths! The shop owner is a good person who will be rewarded, blessed with great fortune, and will surely live a long and healthy life.]
[Can't you guys think of something nice? This is so unlucky, ugh!]
[The shop owner is such a kind person, and you're all cursing him? This is a real-life version of the farmer and the snake; you don't deserve to be called human.]
[As human beings, I urge you to be kind, otherwise even Heaven will not stand by and watch.]
Many netizens refuted them, but ultimately they couldn't withstand the power of money, and soon the online trolls gained the upper hand again.
In a short time, rumors spread like wildfire, and with the help of those with ulterior motives, they became the truth. Soon after, the news that people hoped the fruit and vegetable store owner would die went viral across the internet.
Lu Manman was completely unaware of this. It wasn't that Lu Manman didn't want to open a shop, but during military training, in order not to distract everyone, everyone's personal computers had their external signals blocked, let alone sending or receiving packages. Besides, Lu Manman was currently living in a ten-person room, which was really inconvenient.
By the way, I wonder how Zhao Lingyun managed to get in. He probably used some tricks.
As Lu Manman pondered this, she controlled her mental energy and picked up a book.
Zhao Bo was startled as soon as he walked in, "Holy crap! How did this book fly away...?"
Snap!
Before Zhao Bo could finish speaking, the book fell to the ground.
"Brother Jianguo, did you just see that? That book..."
"Hmm, the book fell down," Lu Manman interrupted.
Zhao Bo rubbed his eyes. Was he just too tired lately? Was his vision blurry? Oh well.
"Brother Jianguo, everyone went to celebrate, why didn't you go?"
Lu Manman: "I don't like joining in on fun. Is there something you need?"
Zhao Bo chuckled: "I just couldn't bear to leave you, so I came to keep you company."
"Tomorrow we're organizing our own recapture of the Insect Astrology! I'm so excited! Jianguo, aren't you excited too?"
"fine!"
Lu Manman just wants to kill as many Zerg as possible and then figure out a way to escape.
She wanted to return to Kaiping Star, plant the entire planet with magical fruits and vegetables, and send them to all corners of the galaxy.
Hopefully, with the help of the magical fruits and vegetables, everyone can completely wipe out the Zerg. This will not only benefit everyone, but also allow us to stay safely on Kaiping Star without worrying about another Zerg apocalypse.
Zhao Bo sighed. "You've always seemed preoccupied lately. What's bothering you? You can tell me. I'll be a very good listener, and I'm also the kind of person who keeps her mouth shut."
Lu Manman turned to look at Zhao Bo. This silly kid still thought she was really his brother.
"Actually, you shouldn't feel guilty. You weren't even born when Zhao Jianguo was abandoned, so none of this has anything to do with you."
"No, no, no, I just want to be good to you. In my heart, you will always be my brother. When I think about how much you have suffered since you were little, I feel so sorry for you."
Lu Manman stared intently at Zhao Bo. If Zhao Jianguo were still alive, he would definitely like Zhao Bo, but it was all too late.
He patted Zhao Bo on the shoulder and said, "It's all over now. Go celebrate. I want to be alone."
Zhao Bo glanced at Lu Manman, and finally went out.
Lu Manman locked the dormitory door from the inside and began to recklessly practice projecting her mental energy. In an instant, everything in the dormitory flew up automatically.
