When Lin Muci returned to the classroom, no one dared to underestimate her.
Finally, after the class ended, someone bravely walked up to her, hesitated, and quietly asked her about the Destiny Mech.
“Is that mech really that powerful?”
“We are truly too envious, so envious of you!”
“Hey, on the Central Planet, there aren’t many people who can subdue such a powerful mech.”
These people’s tones carried a hint of emotion, and their words were all aimed at inquiring about her background.
“Then—where are you from?”
“Where did you come to the Central Planet to study, how were you discovered by the Mech Academy? You don’t seem like a local person…”
If they were local children of the Central Planet, they would certainly be wealthy or noble. This young girl appeared quite ordinary, without any special attire, so she must not be from the Central Planet.
“I come from a very distant star domain… the Yun Jing Federation, have you heard of it?”
Her adoptive father in this world, Ji Feng, was the General of the Yun Jing Federation. Saying she was from the Yun Jing Federation was not wrong.
However, speaking of Ji Feng, Lin Muci suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to find a way to send him a message. She wondered if Ling Qianhe had told her adoptive father that she was now on the Central Planet and safe.
That adoptive father had gone mad with worry when she left.
If Ling Kuang hadn’t delivered the message to him, she should find a way to send some news to her adoptive father.
As Lin Muci was thinking, the students opposite her exchanged glances.
“Yun Jing Federation?”
“Never heard of it.”
“Hey, no, you forgot, it is said that the military recently recruited a marshal from a lower federation and promoted him to the rank of Nine-Star General of the Central Planet’s military. My brother is in the military secretariat, and he said the transfer order has been issued.”
“That newly appointed Nine-Star General seems to be from the Yun Jing Federation!”
Lin Muci hadn’t expected such a coincidence. She was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but ask.
“From the Yun Jing Federation?”
“Then what is the name of this Nine-Star General?”
The other party clearly fell into thought, and after a moment, gave a definitive answer.
“My brother mentioned it to me once. My brother said that since the other party was promoted to the Central Planet, he must be extremely capable.”
“Nine-Star General, throughout the entire Central Planet, the number is very small, only a handful. This person must have extraordinary talent. My brother said he should be a key focus of attention for the entire high-level officials of the Central Planet.”
“And this person’s name is Ji Feng!”
Lin Muci gasped.
Her adoptive father had been promoted to Nine-Star General and was also coming to the Central Planet?
This was going to be quite lively.
The other classmates, seeing Lin Muci suddenly fall silent and appear lost in thought, immediately pressed her.
“Didn’t you say you were also from the Yun Jing Federation? Do you know this Nine-Star General?”
“Yes, do you know him?”
Lin Muci pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
“No, I don’t. I come from a very ordinary civilian background. How could I possibly know such a promising big shot? A Nine-Star General, from what you say, seems very powerful.”
The students opposite were all filled with envy.
“Of course, he’s powerful! A Nine-Star General is not some ordinary person. A Nine-Star General—tsk tsk tsk, that kind of power is beyond our imagination. Moreover, he is definitely a ruthless person, because he was promoted from a more distant interstellar federation, which means he must have done something shocking and astounding to the Central Planet’s military!”
“Perhaps exceptional leadership talent.”
“Good generals are easy to find, but a great marshal is hard to come by.”
“He is not from a local military family of the Central Planet, yet he was directly granted the title of Nine-Star General, without having to climb up from the lower ranks. This means his personal combat strength is also outstanding.”
“I suspect his personal combat strength even surpasses that of Lord Altesius!”
“It’s a pity you don’t know this new Nine-Star General.”
“If you knew this new Nine-Star General, you could probably walk sideways on the Central Planet from now on!”
Lin Muci silently scoffed in her mind.
Not only did she know this new Nine-Star General.
Moreover, he was her adoptive father, and a doting father who went crazy for his daughter. He had almost fought with Ling Kuang for her.
However, Lin Muci was quite excited about reuniting with Ji Feng!
This man would indeed stand by her unconditionally.
Then, her plan would have a higher chance of success!
...
On the Central Planet, within the Ministry of War, a secret meeting was underway.
Altesius’s red hair was truly striking, and he was almost hopping with rage, wishing he could jump onto the table.
His volatile temper was indeed famous throughout the Central Planet’s Ministry of War, and at this moment, Altesius was so angry he wanted to curse out loud!
“How could you so rashly bring Ji Feng to the Central Planet, and directly make him a Nine-Star General?”
“Do you know how precious the title of Nine-Star General is? How can you be so reckless? What merits has that guy earned? He’s barely arrived and you make him a Nine-Star General, what about our dignity?” Da Feng Novel Network
The old men in the Ministry of War, looking at the furious Altesius, couldn’t help but try to smooth things over.
“Even if he comes, you will still be the youngest Nine-Star General in the Ministry of War…”
Altesius was so angry his chest was heaving.
“That’s not what I care about at all!”
“It’s about why some unknown guy from a remote star system can become a Nine-Star General of the Central Planet?”
These old men exchanged glances, hesitated, and then sighed before explaining.
“His talent is extremely strong… Of course, we know that being highly talented might not be enough to convince you, but more importantly, this person is not only extremely talented, but he is also very skilled at commanding troops and deploying strategies, a rare and excellent marshal.”
“In the history of the universe, for nearly a thousand years, there might not be anyone with higher talent in this regard. He was born for large-scale combat… That’s why we had to promote him exceptionally.”
Altesius was slightly taken aback.
“Military? But humanity is very peaceful now, at most there are some local conflicts. Where are there any earth-shattering battles to fight?”
Altesius couldn’t understand no matter what.
These old men sighed deeply.
“One must always be prepared for danger in times of peace.”
“Otherwise, if a situation like the insectoid race appears again, we must have a commander who can deploy troops and strategies. If we don’t give him the position of Nine-Star Marshal, how can temporary promotion win over the masses?”
“The title of a Nine-Star General, we can still afford to give!”
“Can one Ji Feng really overturn the heavens and take control of our Ministry of War?”
Altesius’s expression was grim. He was silent for a moment, and could only acquiesce to this decision.
However, that Ji Feng really couldn’t overturn the heavens. The Central Planet was not his territory, he was unfamiliar with the place, and it was heard that he himself was seeking help from the Ministry of War. If such a person were utilized well, he could indeed serve the Ministry of War!
