Xia Chujian was the kind of person who could find contentment anywhere, and she didn't have her heart set on attending any particular university.
She just didn't want to disappoint Aunt.
She said, "Aunt, it really depends on the exam scores. I'll go wherever I can get in. I don't really care."
Xia Yuanfang didn't want to add any psychological pressure to Xia Chujian, and said with a smile, "Yes, that's right, it depends on the exam scores. We'll see where you can get in."
At this time, after Huo Yushen finished his call with Xia Chujian, he immediately contacted Meng Guanghui.
Meng Guanghui quickly answered the video call invitation.
"Marshal Huo, what are your instructions?"
Huo Yushen said, "It's time to take Xia Chujian to the Flight Training Base on Kanli Star. Training is about to begin."
Meng Guanghui immediately said, "Yes, Chief. I will inform her to set off immediately."
After saying that, he said embarrassedly, "However, Xia Chujian just finished the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. Should we let her rest for a few days?"
Huo Yushen said lightly, "She is a staff member of my Special Security Bureau. Now that the National Higher Education Entrance Examination is over, it's time for her to officially start working."
Meng Guanghui's mouth twitched. He thought Marshal Huo was really ruthless, and probably never regarded Xia Chujian as a little girl who had just graduated from high school...
Before ending the call, Huo Yushen reminded Meng Guanghui, "Your task is to find a way to persuade her to apply for the Imperial Royal First Military University."
Meng Guanghui was stunned for a moment: "...Really apply for the Imperial Royal First Military University? But her grades..."
Huo Yushen thought for a while, and said uncertainly, "Her National Higher Education Entrance Examination scores may be very good, maybe enough to reach the admission score of Beichen University."
"That's amazing!" Meng Guanghui said in surprise, "Then I will definitely work hard to get her to apply for the Imperial Royal First Military University!"
Meng Guanghui graduated from this school, Kang Shanxing graduated from this school, and Huo Yushen also graduated from this school.
It can be said that 60% of the officers above the rank of colonel in the Empire's Interstellar Legion Fleet graduated from this university.
...
The day after the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, Xia Chujian planned to sleep in until she woke up naturally.
But at eight o'clock in the morning, Meng Guanghui's video call request woke her up.
Xia Chujian sighed helplessly, agreed to the call, but blocked the video.
She said, "Leader Meng, I haven't gotten up yet, so no video."
Meng Guanghui didn't care, and said, "It's already eight o'clock and you haven't gotten up yet? I'm notifying you that your flight training is about to begin. Hurry up and pack your luggage. I'll pick you up at nine o'clock, and then take an Interstellar Spaceship to Kanli Star."
Xia Chujian was stunned: "...What? Today? Nine o'clock? Leader Meng, are you kidding me? It's already eight o'clock, and I haven't even brushed my teeth yet!"
"Who has time to joke with you? This is a military mission! Xia Chujian, have you forgotten? The Special Security Bureau is a military organization! Once a military order is issued, no matter where you are, you have to get there on time!" Meng Guanghui's attitude towards Xia Chujian was not so kind anymore.
Because Xia Chujian's National Higher Education Entrance Examination was over, this was the condition they had agreed upon before.
After the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, Xia Chujian officially joined the job, so she had to be required according to the standards of a formal employee.
Xia Chujian was stunned by the roar, and subconsciously said, "Okay, Leader Meng, I'll pack my things right away."
"You don't need to pack too much, just bring some personal items. Other things, including clothing, bedding and other daily necessities, are provided by the base. That is also a military base, and it's just like a regular army. Hurry up, the Interstellar Spaceship will take off from the port at 10:30. If you can't make it, then just withdraw from the Special Security Bureau!"
Meng Guanghui was decisive at this time, not giving Xia Chujian any room for delay.
Xia Chujian's mind was a little dizzy. She vaguely remembered that she had talked to Huo Yushen last night, and it seemed that Huo Yushen had said last night that he would let her start flight training.
She thought she would have to wait at least a few days, but she didn't expect to leave home for another planet immediately.
For Xia Chujian, who rarely left Mulan City, this long journey was still very attractive.
She also didn't want to stay at home every day and be surrounded by people asking about her National Higher Education Entrance Examination scores...
The pressure was really great.
Xia Chujian quickly said, "Understood, Leader Meng..."
"You should say, 'Received, Chief, over.'"
"Received! Chief! Over!"
The call ended, and Xia Chujian was completely awake.
She threw back the covers, quickly took a shower, and then began fussing over what to put in her tactical backpack.
She didn't need to bring the Large Sniper Rifle and Submachine Gun this time, but she did bring three handguns: the Qu Zhong 110 Handgun Huo Yushen gave her, the Assassin 095 Handgun Ye Shijie gave her, and a handgun made of special materials, along with one hundred rounds of Qu Zhong handgun bullets and five hundred rounds of Assassin 095 handgun bullets.
Then there were her Composite Titanium Tactical Dagger and Red Cloud Tactical Dagger. These were melee weapons and also needed to be carried for self-defense.
In addition, she put in the Ability Defense Helmet and the Lily-of-the-Valley Purple Silk Hat.
Next were her feminine hygiene products, five sets of underwear, and two sets of Khaki Hunting Suit and Nanoscale One-Piece Bulletproof Suit for changes of clothes.
And the Other Shore Flower Necklace that carried her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, she wore all of them on her body.
She carried her tactical backpack downstairs and said to Xia Yuanfang in the dining room, "Aunt, I'm leaving immediately for Kanli Star to receive flight training from the Special Security Bureau. When you go to the studio in the city in the future, you must go with Aunt Chen."
Xia Yuanfang said in surprise, "So sudden? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xia Chujian said distressedly, "Actually, it was mentioned before that I would go for special training after the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. I didn't take it to heart, thinking they would let me rest for a few days. I didn't expect it to really be 'after the National Higher Education Entrance Examination'."
Xia Yuanfang frowned, "Then when will you be back? The scores will be out at the end of July, and you have to fill out your college application before August 15th. Can you come back?"
Xia Chujian said, "There's still a month and a half. The training will definitely be over by then. Special training, special training, it's probably only a week or two."
Xia Yuanfang was skeptical, "Is that so? Is that what your leader said?"
Xia Chujian said seriously, "It should be called Chief. Chief Meng said that our Special Security Bureau is actually a military organization, so going for flight training is a military mission."
Xia Yuanfang sighed, feeling very sorry for her, and said, "I'll go pack your things for you."
Xia Chujian shook her head, "The Chief said that the supplies there are all issued by the military, I only need to bring some personal items."
Xia Yuanfang's mood was complicated, "Then after you go, keep in touch often. Video call me once a day, and say hello no matter how busy you are, remember?"
Xia Chujian nodded obediently, "I remember."
San Zong, Wu Fu, Aunt Chen, and Zhu Yingying at the dining table all looked at her in surprise.
The eye display screen of Liu Shun next to the dining table flashed red a few times.
"Chujian, where are you going?" Zhu Yingying asked quickly, she still wanted to play with Xia Chujian during this vacation...
Xia Chujian said, "I'm going to Kanli Star."
"Ah?! Does that mean you have to take an Interstellar Spaceship?" Zhu Yingying said excitedly, "You're going to another planet!"
Xia Chujian was also very excited, but in front of her family, she had to suppress her joy, otherwise her family would say she didn't miss home at all...
San Zong said worriedly, "Is Young Lord going to another planet? That's so far, how long will you be gone..."
"It'll be quick, I'll definitely be back in time to fill out my college application." Xia Chujian regretted not asking how long the special training would be.
But no matter how long it was, they definitely wouldn't stop her from coming back to fill out her college application.
Aunt Chen said, "Chujian, we don't know anyone on Kanli Star, you have to take good care of yourself."
"I will, thank you, Aunt Chen."
Wu Fu's little eyebrows were all wrinkled together, and she said softly, "Wu Fu wants to go too!"
Si Xi followed "Wu Er Fu" with a cry, looking up at Xia Chujian with hopeful eyes, as if echoing Wu Fu.
Liu Shun also said, "Master, Liu Shun can go on an interstellar trip with you, Liu Shun will be a qualified housekeeper."
"You're a Housekeeping Robot, don't promote yourself." Xia Chujian unceremoniously saw through Liu Shun's little thoughts.
She really felt that Liu Shun was getting more and more cunning, and wanted to take down its internet hardware again.
The red light on Liu Shun's eye display screen flashed a few times, and it quickly slipped away, not giving Xia Chujian a chance to take apart its parts.
The Big Black Dog squatted beside Small Si Xi, very quiet, just staring at Xia Chujian for a long time.
When Xia Chujian looked over, it didn't look away.
Xia Chujian glanced at it, thinking of the chip in its brain, and thought, could this Big Black Dog really have been a military dog? Did she just say the words "military mission"? This guy's eyes were all wrong.
While she was wondering how to communicate with the Big Black Dog and make it behave, Liu Shun slipped in again, stuffed an electronic photo album into Xia Chujian's hand, and said, "Master, these are family photos and short videos, made by Liu Shun, hoping to accompany Master through the hard times of training on Kanli Star."
Xia Chujian: "..."
The corner of her eye twitched, and she said, "Liu Shun, I video call Aunt every day, do I still need to bring an electronic photo album? Besides, I have so many photos and videos stored in my Quantum Optical Brain!"
Liu Shun said with a straight face, "Master, this electronic photo album is for you to put on your bedside table."
Xia Chujian: "..."
As expected of a Housekeeping Robot, it's a dab hand at tidying up rooms.
Liu Shun's actions reminded everyone.
Xia Yuanfang packed a spice box for Xia Chujian, using a sealable electronic lunch box. Inside were various natural spices she made herself, a small bag of salt, a small bottle of Fragrant Vine Oil, a box of sugar, and several boxes of sauces.
Xia Yuanfang said, "These are all sealed, and the quantity isn't much. If you really can't get used to the food outside, you can occasionally cook something yourself, but don't do it too often, once a week is enough. Don't let your colleagues think you're not a team player."
Xia Chujian nodded repeatedly, treasuringly putting the electronic lunch box into her backpack.
Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying gave Xia Chujian a small bag of white fur.
Zhu Yingying whispered, "This is the fur from Fei Fei's neck. When you're feeling troubled, take a strand out and hold it in your hand. The trouble will disappear, but it will also take away your worries and Wang You."
This was a good thing! Xia Chujian quickly grasped it tightly in her hand, smiling as she said, "This is really great! I must hold onto it carefully! When I see it, I'll think of Yingying and Aunt Chen!"
It's Monday, a reminder for my dearies to vote for Recommendation Tickets!
P.S. I saw some dearies in the chapter comments saying that "July Fire" refers to the weather turning cooler. I want to clarify here that "July Fire" comes from the Book of Songs and refers to the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is roughly August to September in the Gregorian calendar, indeed between summer and autumn, and can be said to be when the weather turns cooler.
However, in this interstellar novel, it was mentioned in previous chapters that this star system does not have a lunar calendar, nor does it have New Year's Eve, so everyone treats New Year's Day as the Spring Festival. Since there is no lunar calendar, July Fire is July in the Gregorian calendar, which is the hottest time in the Northern Hemisphere, and it is the literal meaning.
