"Thank you…"

Mingmei took the refreshing fruit tea from Mu Chen and immediately took a sip before the teacher came to class.

The sweet and sour fruit tea with fruit and tea aromas instantly woke up Mingmei's senses, which had been chaotic all morning. After one sip, she took several more.

"The live stream last night was good. Did you watch it for a long time?"

"Mhm, mhm!"

Seeing Mingmei nodding without any defenses, Mu Chen felt even worse.

So, he really wasn't as good as those "little vixens" outside.

Mingmei finished the fruit tea and added, "You have no idea how funny Lu Xiaoyao was last night."

Mu Chen: ???

Lu Xiaoyao?

Lu Xiaoyao was sitting not far in front of her, and Mingmei lowered her voice when she said this.

Lu Xiaoyao, unaware of anything, only felt a chill down her spine.

"Hiss—"

She shivered suddenly, and was complaining to Bai Xiao and Hu Yue about her game last night. Seeing Lu Xiaoyao's reaction, they asked what was wrong.

"Maybe I didn't sleep well, I feel a little uncomfortable…" Lu Xiaoyao took out her textbook, and her expression turned fierce when she saw the thick paper book.

"Why is *Interstellar Geography—Marginal Areas* a paper book, and so thick?"

This course was originally intended to provide those about to enter military service with some科普 (kēpǔ, popular science) materials about the environments they would be in after joining the military.

In the past, it was an electronic textbook on the optical brain, but this year it was changed to a paper book, which was very retro and straightforward.

The content of this course was outrageously large!

Moreover, Lu Xiaoyao randomly flipped through a page and saw a strange line of text: "Students are required to memorize the entire book."

Lu Xiaoyao: ?????

Realizing something was wrong—

Lu Xiaoyao: !!!

Holy crap!

What is this?!

"We want to know too. I heard that this course used to be for sophomores, but it was changed to freshmen this year." Speaking of the changes in the school system, Bai Xiao and the others naturally mentioned going to the military next year.

"Not only our school has changed, but many other schools have also followed suit. However, because it is the first year, the reform is only for freshmen and sophomores. Therefore, this year we can still see the magical scene of sophomores and juniors entering the military together."

"Ah… no wonder I haven't seen Leng Youyou since the beginning of this semester. Has she already gone to the military?"

Lu Xiaoyao also remembered her friends who she knew because of shipping CPs, Leng Youyou. However, the other party was a junior, and because she was not a frontline combatant, her time to enter the military was a semester later than the frontline combatants.

As for the sophomores, they were caught up in the reform, and were sent away after returning to school this semester and packing their bags in a hurry.

"Leng Youyou entered the Sixth Army and is working there as an intern military doctor." Speaking of this, it was Hu Yue's special area, after all, her father and brother were both in the Sixth Army. "The Sixth Army is not as advanced and prosperous as the central star, but I think it has more of a common touch, and I think it's quite free."

Hu Yue looked nostalgic when she mentioned the common touch and freedom, which made people who didn't know the truth have some thoughts.

However, Wang Wenfei, Yuan Fang, and others who knew the inside story remained silent.

Heh, who doesn't know that the Hu family's Sixth Army is a regular army comparable to star pirates, no, it should be said that it is a licensed star pirate.

They fight every day, a small battle every three days, and a big battle every five days. How could there not be a "common touch"?

The area where the Hu family's Sixth Army is stationed is the most chaotic area on the border of the Empire.

In that place, interstellar fugitives, star pirates, and Zerg are mixed together, and often mixed up in fights.

The planet is scarce in resources, and there are no ordinary people living there.

It is simply a paradise for criminals and the best place for the Zerg to smuggle into the human world.

Even so terrible, the Hu family's Sixth Army took root in such a harsh environment, guarding the most dangerous and barren area of the Empire. The Sixth Army, which should have been praised and admired by everyone, was "reckless" there for many years, so that others could not praise it even if they wanted to.

The people of the Sixth Army are warlike, and they are notorious throughout the interstellar for their bravery and ruthlessness.

After defeating the Zerg and the star pirates, they were not satisfied. They would take the initiative to attack you, drag you out of your hometown and beat you up, and loot your entire family.

In the end, that place changed from a paradise for star pirates, criminals, and the Zerg to a "free capital" that the Zerg ignored and the star pirates shook their heads at.

How free it is, as long as you are not a human, or you have committed a crime, you will definitely be beaten when you go out.

As a result, the students who had served in the Sixth Army in previous years could not adapt to the oppressive atmosphere here after returning. Why bicker and reason with you about things that can be solved with fists and mechs?

So, many of them packed up and went to the Sixth Army after graduation.

When they mention the life of the Sixth Army to outsiders, they usually use such rhetoric—"full of common touch" "free"

"Freedom is good."

Sure enough, Bai Xiao, who came from a family of educators, was not very clear about the twists and turns. After playing with Hu Yue for so long, she was gradually influenced to believe that the Sixth Army might, probably, be a little bit "wild".

So, she sighed slightly with an envious tone and looked at Yuan Fang, who had been reading a book and not speaking.

Yuan Fang noticed the gaze from his fiancée and smiled slightly: "If you want to, let's find a way to be assigned to an outer army.

What do you think of the Eighth Army? The marginal stars there are densely vegetated and have natural oxygen bars."

"His Majesty won't agree." Bai Xiao gently shook her head and rejected Yuan Fang's proposal. She looked at the other party's profile and thought for a while, and said, "It's better to prioritize your safety. I think the First Army on the edge of the central star is also good~"

Yuan Fang, as a member of the royal family, his father was the Emperor's brother. He and his wife died on the battlefield for the Empire in his early years. He was raised in the palace since he was a child and was treated as the Emperor's youngest son, and even cherished him like the apple of his eye.

For this reason, to make up for his brother's sacrifice to the Empire.

Letting Yuan Fang enter the military academy was already a great concession made by the Emperor. It was absolutely impossible to let his brother's only child fall into any dangerous place.

He should be placed in a bright place so they can feel at ease.

Bai Xiao stared at Yuan Fang's face in a daze, and couldn't help but think of what her grandfather had asked her before the engagement.

If she got engaged to such a person, she would lose a lot. Did she still want to continue?

"But I really want to go outside and see the world." Yuan Fang didn't say what Bai Xiao wanted. He reached out and gently squeezed the back of the other party's hand and said, "I'll talk to His Majesty. I really want to go."

"Eww~"

As a master of destroying the atmosphere, Hu Yue and Lu Xiaoyao really didn't want to pay attention to these two with their eyes closed.

What are you doing?

Class is about to start!

So, Mingmei and Mu Chen finally managed to steer the topic away from Lu Xiaoyao and talked about something else, such as a date during the holiday.

At this time, Mu Chen's eyes saw Mingmei's optical brain light up.

Then, Mingmei received a headless question from Lu Xiaoyao about which army she would apply to join if she entered the military as a sophomore.

In response, Mingmei forgot about the date that Mu Chen had just mentioned about going out for a month's rest after the start of school, and told Mu Chen about it in a low voice.

Mu Chen: "…"

Actually, he didn't really want to talk about this.
