Chapter 55 Interstellar World: Cannon Fodder Providing Cheat Codes VS Marshal of the Interstellar Fe
"Also, these 30 spots are only for those who are exempt from the exam. If someone gets in but is found to not meet the First Legion's hiring standards, I still have the right to send them back. Of course, if others want to join the First Legion, they can participate in the First Legion's enlistment assessment. If they pass the assessment, they can naturally join the First Legion."
The principal knew He Shiyan's personality, so he wasn't angry when he heard He Shiyan's disrespectful words. Instead, he pointed at He Shiyan from a distance and teased him with a smile, "You, you still have the personality of not tolerating any dissent. You don't give face to anyone."
He Shiyan put down his teacup, showing no embarrassment on his face, and accepted the principal's evaluation quite frankly.
"How's the school's investigation going regarding what happened last time?"
Upon hearing He Shiyan's question, the principal's expression changed, his previous smile vanished, and he let out a long sigh—not at He Shiyan, but rather…
"We've found out. He's the person in charge of the safety of the Trial Star. His job is to arrange the corresponding test levels according to the difficulty of the students' assessments and the requirements of the assessors, and to ensure that there are no dangers on the Trial Star that are too far beyond the students' abilities."
The principal took a breath and continued.
"This person in charge must be an Imperial spy. He actually installed a device on the trial planet that can only be used on the battlefield to attract the Zerg! He... he's trying to ruin this group of students! The Empire really hasn't given up on destroying our Federation..."
He Shiyan also fell silent. He had only felt that the route of the group of Zerg he was tracking was incorrect, which was why he had the principal investigate. He never expected that it would uncover something like this!
If the device that attracts the Zerg is kept on, the Zerg will come in droves. The batch that he tracked down was only the first because it was relatively close.
Waves of Zerg surged into the trial planet, overwhelming even the examiners. If the Empire's plan were to proceed as scheduled, the trial planet would be ruined, not to mention the students.
Even now, the principal is heartbroken because the only Commander in the freshman class with a mental strength level of 3S has suffered a mental breakdown and been destroyed!
"Did he say where on the Trial Planet he placed the device that attracts the Zerg?"
After calming his grief, the principal replied, "I did, and I sent people to check. The device was taken away beforehand. The location is quite remote, a blind spot for surveillance, so we didn't see who took it. However, that person is quite strange. The place where the device was buried is a small, contaminated crystal mine. Not only did he take the device, but he also took the contaminated crystal mine!"
"That's really strange!"
Knowing about the Empire's conspiracy, they were even able to take the device that attracted the Zerg ahead of time. The person in charge said that the device was buried only the day before the assessment, and no one had entered the trial planet since.
Then there's the trial assessment on the second day. Was the mysterious person who took the device a teacher or a student in this assessment?
He Shiyan remembered another strange thing. According to the monitoring of the Trial Star, this batch of Zerg was quite large, and it was not something that the two teams could handle. But the two teams, a total of 9 people, were able to hold out until the rescue arrived!
He Shiyan obtained all the video footage from that time and watched it carefully several times with his adjutant. He discovered that in the latter half of the first wave of the Zerg attack, the attack power of these nine people actually increased.
No, there are 8 people. The other one is a student from the mecha manufacturing department, and she is not on the defensive line.
Interestingly, Su Jinyue, from the mecha manufacturing department, wasn't idle either; she was constantly moving around within the protection zone.
He Shiyan discovered that whoever she approached would become stronger in attack. Upon closer inspection of the video, it became apparent that she seemed to be delivering some kind of disposable explosive to her companion's attack point, thereby enhancing the damage of the attack.
But at this very moment, the battle was in chaos, and no one noticed!
Later, after the adjutant's investigation, it was discovered that she was from the long-established Su family. No wonder she was willing to get injured to protect Su Jinjue.
He Shiyan thought that in the end she had accidentally blocked an attack for another companion, which was just a bit unlucky, and he came to a conclusion.
That final blow had at least 50% of the power of a 3S-level Zerg. Given her strength, even if she didn't die, she would have become a cripple without spiritual power, just like Ling Yiming.
But according to the adjutant, she seemed to be fine. She stayed in the treatment pod for three days and then came out, still lively and energetic.
He Shiyan fell into deep thought. The Su family had always been quite mysterious, with a history spanning a thousand years, making them a force to be reckoned with. Perhaps the Su family had some hidden trump cards up their sleeves...
"Report!" A strong voice came from outside the principal's office.
The principal seemed to know who had come and immediately called out "Come in." He had just summoned the two squads of students fighting against the Zerg.
Once the matter is clarified, those who contributed to this effort should be rewarded.
Based on the video footage and their statements, the principal and others already knew what had happened.
In fact, in the principal's opinion, facing such a large number of Zerg that came suddenly, knowing that they were no match for them, running away and delaying time was the wise choice.
They were only freshmen and not yet real soldiers, so delaying and waiting for rescue was the best option at that moment.
However, alas, as the highest-ranking commander at the 3S level, Ling Yiming's decision to engage the Zerg by applying emergency wartime principles cannot be considered wrong.
Moreover, he had already paid the price for his choice, and there was no way to make amends at this point. The principal felt nothing but regret.
A future federal genius has fallen!
However, Ling Yiming's deserved reward would not be spared because of this. The principal had already secretly given him the school's reward when Ling Yiming withdrew from school.
The Ling family is a family that values interests. Ling Yiming is no longer of any value to the Ling family and is only a distant relative. In the end, he will be abandoned by the Ling family. Hopefully, those rewards will make his future life a little better.
When Su Jinyue arrived at the principal's office, most of the others had already arrived. The group stood in a row, looking energetic and receiving the gazes of He Shiyan and the principal, with a hint of excitement on their faces.
Once everyone had arrived, the principal cleared his throat before beginning his address.
First, he reprimanded the group for their recklessness; they were only freshmen, what were they trying to do, act like heroes? Facing the ferocious Zerg, their own safety should have been their priority…
He scolded the group until they all lowered their heads in shame, then gave them a slap followed by a sweet treat, praising their bravery and saying they had lived up to the reputation of the Federation's No. 1 Military Academy.
Finally, they received their rewards and merit points, and were told that the details of this trial star should not be disclosed and that they should keep it a secret.
Su Jinjue and the others excitedly and enthusiastically agreed.
