Roderick chatted with James for a while.
He then entered the arena and, unsurprisingly, defeated his final opponent to win the title of Rookie of the Year.
Some people are curious about Roderick's identity.
There were 60,000 new recruits present, from various military academies.
Strangely, not a single one of them knew Roderick.
Faced with everyone's curiosity, Roderick repeated what he had just said.
"I'm just a pathetic wretch abandoned by my father, from a garbage planet."
James also testified on the sidelines:
“That’s right, he has a father who’s a scumbag.”
The news soon reached the ears of all the new recruits.
The crowd gasped in astonishment, their admiration for Roderick growing even stronger.
The phrase "strong and tragic" perfectly describes Roderick's character, leaving everyone sighing in disbelief.
As for the word "beauty," in the female insect's mind, it is used to describe the male insect.
The duel has ended.
Roderick and James also became quite close friends.
For the next few days, James would challenge Roderick to a fight every day, only to be beaten up one-sidedly.
Five days later.
An announcement was made aboard the transport ship.
This voyage has ended. Welcome to the First Guardian Legion.
"laugh!"
A loud exhaust sound rang out.
The pressure inside the transport ship was released instantly.
The hydraulic gate, several tens of meters wide, opened, and fresh air rushed into everyone's nostrils.
The new recruits breathed in the fresh air as they waited for their medical examinations inside the transport ship.
Soon, several hundred female soldiers came out from outside.
They also brought equipment for the new recruits' physical examinations.
The physical examination for new recruits requires a thorough check-up.
Make sure you are not carrying any dangerous items, and make sure you are not a spy.
There are a total of ten checkpoints inside the transport ship.
The new recruits quickly lined up and underwent a strict inspection.
But soon, the recruits discovered something.
Why are these female soldiers who are conducting inspections constantly turning their heads to look in other directions?
The recruits' attention followed, but there was nothing there except a line of people waiting for inspection.
However, Roderick, the Rookie of the Year, happens to be on that team.
Some new recruits boldly asked:
"Senior military doctor, what are you looking at?"
The first military doctor conducting the test coughed twice:
"Yeah, it's nothing. I just felt like there was someone over there who looked familiar, and I wanted to confirm."
Which person is it?
"That silver-haired female insect dressed all in black."
"Oh, him? He's our rookie champion, his name is Roderick. Do you know him?"
The military doctor trembled upon hearing this:
"What? His name is Roderick? Are you sure?"
“Of course, he’s the Rookie of the Year, we all know him. You can ask the others if you don’t believe me.” The recruit shifted his body slightly, and the new recruit who had been eavesdropping on their conversation nodded.
"Yes, his name is Roderick, we all know him, what happened to him?"
The military doctor nervously turned his head and glanced at it, then asked:
"Do you know his identity?"
"I know, he's an orphan who grew up on a garbage planet and was abandoned by his scumbag father when he was young."
Upon hearing this, the military doctor's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
The military doctor recalled the news that had been trending on social media a few days ago, and suddenly felt that there might be something more to the story behind the change of crown prince.
It turns out that the eldest prince was stripped of his crown prince status not because he ran away from his arranged marriage.
The excuse of running away from the wedding is just a pretext, a smokescreen to deceive the public.
It turns out that the royal family has unspeakable secrets!
The eldest prince was abandoned at a young age and wandered outside, so how could he have the status of a crown prince?
Perhaps this also involves the male insect.
The military doctor, with his boundless imagination, secretly deduced the story in his mind, feeling that he was incredibly close to the truth.
He leaned close to the recruit's ear and whispered the news that had been trending a few days ago.
One tells ten, ten tell a hundred.
Soon, more than half of the new recruits were watching Roderick.
Roderick, who was in line, felt like he had a thorn in his side.
He sensed everyone's gaze, and couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself: What's wrong? Why is everyone looking at me?
As more and more eyes turned to him, Roderick's brow twitched suddenly.
He seemed to have thought of something, and quickly turned on his personal computer to search.
He searched for the word "Royal Family" on the StarNet.
Sure enough, he saw his own photo in the recent news.
This report was issued by the Royal Propaganda Department.
The royal family has decided to strip the eldest prince, Roderick, of his title and appoint the second prince as crown prince.
Upon seeing this news, Roderick was furious.
They actually released his identity and photo!
How is he supposed to get along with people outside?
It was intentional! This was absolutely intentional!
Roderick took a deep breath, trying to reassure himself.
It's okay, it just revealed our identity as Shovel Tribe members.
He forced himself to calm down, shut down his personal terminal, and stopped paying attention to the news.
Ignoring all the probing gazes, Roderick quietly waited in line.
From now on, he will only be a female soldier in the First Exploration Legion. As long as he stays on the outskirts of the star field and the storm passes, this matter will no longer be important.
Soon, it was Roderick's turn to be examined.
He stood on the testing platform, waiting for the military doctor's instructions.
Height and weight were measured, and eye and hair colors were recorded.
The military doctor suddenly said:
"Take off your coat, take off your shirt, and discard all jewelry and other obstacles. Check your body for tattoos and implanted chips."
Roderick paused, "Take off your clothes?"
The new recruits in front of me didn't seem to be asked to take off their clothes, did they?
Seemingly noticing his confusion, the military doctor pointed to the people queuing next to him: "See for yourself."
The new recruit next to me was always shirtless.
For a moment, Roderick hesitated.
He clutched his clothes, hesitating to make a move.
Until he felt the increasingly strange looks he was receiving from others.
Roderick reluctantly took off his coat and short-sleeved shirt.
His strong upper body was revealed, with smooth body lines like a finely carved piece of jade.
Judging from the direction and distribution of his muscles, Roderick is the strongest fighting type.
But it was precisely this figure that made all the female insects in the room gasp in astonishment.
Why does he have so many scars on his body?
Red marks were crisscrossed on Roderick's body.
The military medics nearby huddled together and whispered among themselves.
—My God, isn't it said that the royal family's gene level is S+? How did they get such a serious injury?
—Yeah, their recovery ability seems even worse than our Mantis Clan's.
—Tsk tsk tsk, these scars, could it be that the royal family is abusing him?
—What kind of abuse?
—You still don't know? Roderick said it himself, he's an orphan, abandoned by his father when he was young, and grew up on a garbage planet.
—Huh? Could that report be fake? The First Prince couldn't possibly be treated like that, could he?
—Are you just trying to fool us?
At that moment, the military doctor who was examining Roderick suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
The medic looked at Roderick with disbelief and exclaimed in a trembling voice:
"These marks were left by the male insect? Three weeks ago, you and the male insect spent your heat cycle together?"
Like a thunderclap out of nowhere, these words silenced the entire room.
