No one wants to be stereotyped in something they are good at or enjoy.

Someone who likes boxing might hear, "You like boxing so much, you must be a violent person, right?"

Someone who likes to eat might hear, "All you ever do is eat. You have no self-control."

Someone who looks thin might be told, "You look so mean. You must be petty too."

So, who would want to be labeled as someone who would stab their teammates in the back on the battlefield just because they play games?

Ming Mei wasn't happy about it either. However, since the other party had set a verbal trap to lure Lu Xiaoyao in, she shifted the topic elsewhere. Still, she was surprised by how clear-headed the other person was.

"Wow, she's as sharp as her grandfather."

Even Hu Mingli was surprised.

The way the little girl refuted Ming Mei with a loud voice, seemingly cornered, was actually quite organized.

It reminded him of when he trashed Elder Jian's office. The old man yelled at him to stop, saying that the military budget was limited and there wouldn't be any more money if he continued;

While at the same time, he shouted and calculated how much money he had "looted" this year. He clearly stated that he hadn't included any of that in the national treasury and that if he continued to cause trouble, he would deduct the cost of the damaged items from his military pay and demand the return of the looted money!

His helpless appearance was quite deceptive.

Every word he said was crystal clear.

"Like father, like son." Hu Mingli shrugged, feeling that his sister and Mei Qiu's sister had met their match.

Ming Mei felt the same way.

At least, they probably wouldn't have a chance to win this team over.

"Since everyone feels like they're wasting each other's time, why don't we just part ways here?" Sun Yunzhong said gently, "Scores are important in the game, but I hope everyone can have more cooperation and understanding outside the game in the future."

"You don't want the bugs anymore?"

Jian Yunhe's voice was slightly hoarse, obviously strained from yelling so much earlier.

"We do, but we don't have any now," Sun Yunzhong said, his words leaving much to the imagination. Jian Yunhe scoffed and said, "Alright, I'll wait."

After she finished speaking, the starship on the other side issued instructions and changed direction, leaving. Some people on Ming Mei's side didn't understand the charade between Jian Yunhe and Sun Yunzhong, but then they heard Sun Yunzhong say, "The next time we encounter them hunting zerg…"

"We'll go steal them too!"

As the victim of the theft, Hu Yue had already planned what to do when they met them again.

"Just steal one," Sun Yunzhong couldn't help but remind Hu Yue, "Our enemy isn't humans."

Even if they didn't get along, there was no need to deepen unnecessary conflicts over a single bug.

"Yes, I understand."

Hu Yue naturally understood Sun Yunzhong's meaning, but the group from earlier was indeed annoying.

Because of this annoyance, as the group changed course and flew toward the next area, someone asked Lu Xiaoyao about Jian Yunhe from earlier.

When they heard that she was from the Jian family and the granddaughter of the current Minister of Finance, many players gasped.

"Oh my god, is she that amazing?"

"What's so amazing about her?" Lu Xiaoyao muttered, unconvinced.

"It's said that the Jian family educates their children at home before they go to university, hiring the best tutors to provide them with elite education," Li Yuan explained simply. Hu Yue had grown up on the frontier since she was little. Although her family had considerable power, they were still considered country bumpkins in the eyes of the old aristocratic families in the Central Star.

Hu Yue only had a vague understanding of the matters within their circle.

Basically, each family had their own way of educating their descendants.

"When I was little, my family's teacher used to work for the Jian family. I heard it from my teacher."

"Does that mean your family also has this kind of home tutor system?"

"Yes, because we start learning about mecha-related knowledge and theory from a very young age. Before going to military academy, we were educated and guided by our elders and home tutors."

"The teacher said that the Jian family's education for their children is completely different from ours."

Everyone could understand the Jian family's elite home education to some extent. However, the things taught by the Li family's home tutors were beyond their imagination.

As a famous mecha design and manufacturing family in the empire, the Li family's children were exposed to relevant education from a very young age. Their childhood was mostly centered around mechas, and the Li family could find people internally to teach them this knowledge.

However, in order to prevent them from becoming life idiots who knew nothing but mechas, their home tutors mainly taught them some common sense about life, took them out to play regularly, and taught them how to interact with people and spend money.

Hearing this, some civilian players had complicated expressions.

Ah, they could understand the Jian family's elite education to some extent, but what was this about the Li family teaching them how to interact with people and spend money?

Hu Yue, as his girlfriend, laughed first and said, "You used to have such a boring life? But my mom didn't find me a home tutor. She said it would be fine to find a better online course on the Star Network, and there was no need to go to so much trouble."

Hu Yue's behavior was quite down-to-earth. Sure enough, after she said this, others were able to gradually interject with their own stories.

They talked about their parents choosing online courses for them when they were preparing for university, military academy, or high school.

It was indeed more convenient.

However, what Hu Yue said later made everyone look up in admiration and sigh.

"Because I was always with my father or brother in the military department at that time. Once, my brother even secretly took me to fight space pirates, but it seemed like we ran into tough opponents that time, and my brother and I were captured. My father had to pay a ransom to get us back, hahaha~"

Everyone: ???

For some civilian students, their social class really limited their imagination.

It was like they never thought they would see an S-class mecha on someone the same age as them.

Who would be exposed to mecha-related knowledge from a very young age?

Who would wander around the military department and fight space pirates from a very young age?

The atmosphere became more and more stagnant, and Ming Mei sighed silently.

They might not have noticed this problem because of their social circles, but now that they were here, Ming Mei compiled a big problem – the empire's class problem.

The experiences of civilians and nobles were really worlds apart. Even if Lu Xiaoyao and the others weren't the type to brag about their family background, the superiority they unconsciously showed was indeed difficult for some ordinary people to accept.

"What about her and your brother?"

Because the atmosphere got worse and worse as the topic went on, Ming Mei decided to give everyone some good news, "Did that Jian family girl look interested in your brother today?"
