The first thing Lu Manman did upon returning to her dorm was to frantically encourage the growth of fruits and vegetables.
He only stopped when Zhao Jianguo had filled all the anonymous military courier boxes he had sent him, then delivered them all to the 18th Army Corps and sent them a group message.
[In gratitude for your valiant fight on the front lines, these are funds I am providing to you. I also hope you will donate half of them to the Federation, so that we humans can join hands and work together to defeat the Zerg.]
After doing all this, Lu Manman felt a little better. Although she couldn't become the most powerful super mecha warrior that Mu Guanghao hoped for, she could at least protect the lives of more warriors as the owner of the Hope Fruit and Vegetable Store.
I hope that countless Mu Guanghaos can survive, and I also hope that everyone can defeat the Zerg.
...
The legion members stared in astonishment at the sheer number of anonymous military-grade delivery boxes. Were they carrying magical fruits? They didn't think they had ordered this many.
After careful inspection, it was indeed true, and everyone was overjoyed. Then they saw the message from the shop owner, and their respect for the shop owner grew even stronger. As for the Federation, they had also sent some fruit.
After all, they were warriors fighting to drive out the Zerg and protect their homeland. From both a strategic and moral standpoint, they could not stand idly by and watch the Federation disappear.
With so many amazing fruits provided by the shop owner, the situation in the Federation should improve considerably, which will reduce the pressure on them.
Immediately, he replied to the shop owner with utmost respect, firstly to express his gratitude, secondly to indicate that he would do as the shop owner wished, and finally to show that he would not let the shop owner down and would do his utmost to drive out the Zerg.
The core ideas of the various legions are largely the same.
Qi Xiuyuan also suffered many injuries this time. When he heard the legion commander report that they had received a huge amount of magical fruit donated by the owner of Xiguo Fruit and Vegetable Store, he was shocked.
Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but send a message to Lu Manman.
Qi Xiuyuan: Manman, I received your things. Thank you so much. But can your body handle it?
Most people believe that the owners of the magical fruit and vegetable store are a mysterious force, and that many people cultivate these magical fruits and vegetables.
But only Qi Xiuyuan knew that all of this was done by Lu Manman alone, yet so many anonymous military-grade courier boxes filled with supplies from various legions...
Lu Manman was indeed a little exhausted, but so what? It didn't have any negative impact on her. However, Lu Manman still subconsciously hid her strength.
Lu Manman: Don't worry, this is something I've been saving up for a long time.
Qi Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Qi Xiuyuan: That's good. Thank you, Manman. Choosing you was the best decision I ever made.
Lu Manman: Of course, you guys keep up the good work! I'm off to training now. Oh, and could you please send me a lot more military-grade anonymous courier boxes, the more the better!
Qi Xiuyuan smiled helplessly. She didn't even want to say a word to him.
Soon, the leaders and marshals of the various legions held a top-secret meeting with the royal family to discuss how to deliver the magical fruit to the Federation and how much to send.
...
Meanwhile, inside the conference room of the Imperial First Military Academy.
The date was set, but everyone had different ideas about the specific military training process.
Some people think that military training should be conducted in a drill-style format at a nearby astrology center, while others believe that traditional military training should continue.
Both sides held their own opinions and argued fiercely.
The radical faction, led by the head of teaching affairs, believed that in today's dire situation, it would be more advantageous for them to adapt to the battlefield in advance.
The conservatives, led by Xiong Ba, believed that the risk was too great and that many of these new recruits might be lost before they even officially entered the battlefield. They argued that this was like forcing growth and could easily lead to a waste of talent.
Dean of Studies Luo Gaofei: "Times have changed. The Zerg will not make any large-scale moves for the time being, but the battlefield situation is constantly changing. If they launch a surprise attack, how many planets do you think we can afford to lose? It's better to make plans early and train the freshmen into qualified soldiers as soon as possible to prepare for any eventuality."
Xiong Ba argued forcefully, "You know you're talking about 'what if.' These freshmen already have to face military training ahead of time, and their foundation isn't as solid as the previous students. Now, to make them undergo even more terrifying military training, isn't it a bit too frivolous to treat their lives like this?"
Dean of Students Luo Gaofei slammed his fist on the table and stood up. “Child’s play? They are all our students. How could I not worry? But is this the time for sentimentality? You, as a military academy teacher, must know how urgent the situation is at the front. Under our protection and witness, seeing them grow up on their own, they will be more capable of standing on their own when facing the battlefield in the future. Isn’t that much better than worrying on a sentimental basis?”
Xiong Ba retorted, "But do you really think our guards can guarantee their safety? It's because I've been paying close attention to the front lines that I know how terrifying the Zerg are today. Think about how many super mech warriors we've lost recently. Has this ever happened before? No! The Zerg have become stronger. We shouldn't risk the lives of our children. Rather than having them follow us, who have been away from the battlefield for a while, we should train them properly first and then let them face the current Zerg with the soldiers who have been on the front lines."
Luo Gaofei: "That's a cowardly mentality. A true soldier should dare to draw his sword and forge ahead. If they can't even get through the small hardships of military training, how will they conduct themselves on the battlefield?"
Xiong Ba: "You still have the mindset of a reckless fool. Is that a minor hardship for you? Can you fight with just a surge of enthusiasm? The location you chose is an insect astrology site, which is difficult even for frontline soldiers, let alone these greenhorns who aren't even freshmen..."
The two argued their points, each insisting on their own version of events, and neither would back down. Teachers from both sides joined in the fray, and soon the meeting room was filled with spittle flying everywhere, the table smashed beyond recognition.
The loud arguing made the conference room windows rattle slightly, and it looked like the two sides were about to come to blows.
The principal spoke.
"Alright, quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Everyone, listen to me!"
Cheng Anyan had to call out several times to quiet everyone down.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the principal, hoping he would make a final decision.
The principal calmed his face, which had turned red from shouting too loudly, and said, "I understand what you mean. Your purpose is to do what's best for the new students. In that case, let the new students decide their own fate."
"I suggest we hold a poll on the school forum to see whether they want the traditional military training or the new military training. Both sides can write down their views and ideas for the training and let them choose for themselves."
The principal's words made a lot of sense, and the suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.
