When Gar learned that he also had to guard the outside of that small broken planet, his mind was about to explode.
He was the insect general of the little highness, and he would give everything for the little highness. How could he not stay by his side?
Gar had complete faith in Seci. Given the Emperor's importance to the little highness, he would definitely not allow the little highness to be unprotected.
Seci indeed did not allow it, if Luo Qi had not come yesterday evening to act cute and coquettish, obtaining a promise from him.
Yesterday evening was supposed to be class time, but Luo Qi had returned home for the first time, and even more unusually, Ye Mu was not with him.
And after finishing dinner, Luo Qi clung to Seci, talking to him about the final exam.
What did Luo Qi say at the time?
"Dad, our final exam is so realistic! There's no protection."
Seci immediately frowned: "How can that be? How about..."
Luo Qi reached out and covered Seci's mouth, preventing him from uttering any domineering insectoid remarks, and then proceeded to explain the rules of the final exam, especially the preparations for safety guarantees. He then handed over his terminal to Seci:
"There will be no danger."
Luo Qi chuckled. As he lowered his head, his eyes flickered, but Seci, who was diligently reading the documents on his terminal, did not notice.
The facts were indeed as Luo Qi said. This operation could be considered very safe, but Seci was still a little worried.
So, Luo Qi, as he had done for the past few years, reached out and hugged Seci's arm, shaking it back and forth, looking at Seci with a smile, his eyes bright, both fawning and sly:
"Let me participate, Dad. I've been preparing for a long time. Okay?"
He didn't know if anyone in this world could resist a little bug cub's coaxing, but the old father Seci couldn't. Thus, he relented and allowed Luo Qi to participate in this exam.
So this little brat was waiting here?
Seci thought that the lack of protection meant only the absence of protection from the Earth staff, but it turned out that even insect generals couldn't go in?
Seci felt helpless. What a reckless little rascal.
But what could be done? The Insectoid Emperor had given his word.
It was like not clipping a bird's wings just because you were afraid it would fall when it first flew.
Gar, full of anticipation, stared intently at Seci. The Emperor would definitely not allow the little highness to be unprotected!
If the Emperor could allow such conditions, he swore to the Insectoid Mother Tree that he would no longer be the captain of the little highness's guard!
Seci said in a low voice, "Then stay outside that planet. I will personally go there too."
Gar slowly typed out a "?".
Mother Tree, forgive me. I was talking nonsense just now. It's impossible not to be the little highness's guard captain. It's impossible in this lifetime!

Time finally arrived on the day of the final exam.
All the freshmen of the first grade of junior school, wearing unified combat uniforms, boarded four different starships in four batches.
The starships carried smaller spacecraft, which were used to transport the students to different locations to avoid early combat.
After all, the assessment content was to see which team could remain until the end with the least number of casualties. Early combat was not only unbeneficial but could also lower the assessment score.
Luo Qi, wearing the unified black combat uniform, sat in one of the two front seats of the spacecraft. Ye Mu sat beside him.
It had been almost a year since he first entered junior school, and Luo Qi had also undergone some changes.
He had grown a bit taller, and the baby fat on his face had reduced slightly. Young people grew very fast at this age.
His hair had also grown a bit. Because he had been training and hadn't had time to cut it, he had tied it into a small bun on top of his head, revealing his smooth forehead and a pair of moist eyes.
At this moment, he had a cold expression, his eyes serious as he looked straight ahead. The starship's display showed that it had taken off.
He asked 111 in his mind, "Although it's demotivating to ask this, I still want to ask, do you have confidence?"
111 was silent for a moment: "That defective product has grown for a whole year."
"So?"
"I'll do my best."
This master and system, rarely arguing, fell silent after a brief exchange.
Besides Luo Qi and 111, no one knew what these short fifteen days truly represented.
This was a game that concerned the entire space, the entire world.
Reva behind him was complaining about the assessment rules being too harsh. With only three days' worth of food, even if he ate sparingly, it would last four days. He still had to find food for the remaining ten-plus days.
As a contestant who ate a lot, he was naturally at a disadvantage!
Everyone was trying to suppress their laughter, and only He Ning responded with a stoic "Mm," offering a very pertinent suggestion: "Eat less."
Everyone laughed even harder. It was just a final exam, and everyone was not too worried.
Only Ye Mu keenly sensed that Luo Qi seemed a little uneasy. He was still smiling and listening to the people behind him, but his eyes were vacant, clearly not listening to what they were saying.
He reached across the gap between their seats and pinched Luo Qi's face:
"What's wrong? Not happy?"
Luo Qi came back to his senses, his lips moving: "No."
Ye Mu frowned. This was the first time Luo Qi had kept something from him. He knew Luo Qi too well; he could tell just by his expression.
However, he didn't press further and tentatively comforted him, "Don't worry."
Whatever you're thinking, don't worry. I'm here for you. I'll be by your side.
Luo Qi's gaze faltered. He almost blurted out everything he was thinking to Ye Mu, but in the end, he didn't.
"Okay."
Their voices were very low, and the people behind them didn't hear them. They were still discussing what to do after landing.
This was a tactic they had studied long ago: take advantage of the ample food in the first three days to find a location rich in food resources to set up camp, and then plan to expand and kill enemies to gain points.
There was no problem with such analysis. What they were saying now was just casual talk to relax their mood.
Ye Mu withdrew his gaze and said, "There are still two hours until the starship lands. Let's rest for a while."
Although they had boarded the starship, their respective teams were in their own small spacecraft, blocking each other's sight and communication.
The display screen in front of the spacecraft could only show the images from the starship's cockpit, providing simple information like the starship taking off or about to land.
Luo Qi sighed. Regardless of the process, there would be a result after these fifteen days. Since he had made up his mind, he would not back down.
