Chu Qingchen's pupils contracted sharply, but he quickly regained his composure.
He smiled and said, "Because we are the people standing behind her. And her Ability attacks the people in front of her."
Xia Chujian nodded, "Understood, she wants to eliminate anyone stronger than her, right?"
Chu Qingchen was rendered speechless by her words.
After a moment, he chuckled and said, "I see, Cadet Xia Chujian isn't standing up for Zhao Gang, but is targeting A-Lu, is that right?"
Xia Chujian glanced at him, and said strangely, "Are all of you Nobles so self-righteous?"
Chu Qingchen took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that was about to overwhelm him, and said, "Then what exactly do you want to be satisfied?"
Xia Chujian said seriously, "What do I want? I'm saying, her not being on the battlefield is very important to us. Do you understand? Can you do it?"
"...Even the Judge didn't prohibit her from going back to the battlefield."
"Yeah, but the Judge also said she could retire. So, what's the point of asking me? You can't fulfill the request I made, so why are you here nagging and deceiving yourself?"
Xia Chujian returned to the dormitory with her roommates without looking back.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi didn't dare to speak until they returned to the dormitory.
Mao Yonggui said, "Chujian, you're so brave! You dare to casually argue with the Judge of the Military Court?"
Xia Chujian said unhappily, "Where did I argue with the Judge? I was very polite to the Judge, okay!"
Xia Chujian said it so confidently that the three roommates felt they had forgotten how to write the word "polite"...
They shook their heads with a smile, all feeling that Xia Chujian was just too young and was putting on a brave face to save face.
Mao Yonggui changed the subject and said, "Chujian, do you really have an Ability?"
Xia Chujian shook her head, "I'm not a Gene Evolver, how could I have an Ability?"
"But, if you don't have an Ability, how did you defeat Lü Luyu?" Chu Qingjuan was very curious, "Your Gunmanship is so fast!"
Xia Chujian thought, isn't this the result of special training in the Special Security Bureau...
Huo Yushen told her that to deal with Gene Evolvers below Rank S, as long as she was fast enough, overcame the inherent inertia of humans, and didn't give the Gene Evolvers time to react, then even without a mecha, she could fight them.
This time, Xia Chujian relied on her unparalleled reaction speed and accurate Gunmanship, as well as the cover of that Ability Defense Helmet, to withstand Lü Luyu's Rank A Mental Strength attack and Slaughter Ability.
She didn't know how to explain it to her roommates, so she exaggerated and said, "Of course, it's because of my unique and accurate Gunmanship, and lightning-fast starting speed! However, I still think that Lü Luyu is lying about having an Ability. I've never seen such a moronic Ability!"
Mao Yonggui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You said to the Judge in the conference room that you have never seen such a weak... Ability, you actually wanted to say moronic, right!"
"Of course, I just thought I shouldn't be too aggressive at the time, so I didn't directly say moronic," Xia Chujian said with a grin.
The three roommates all thought that they would never be able to look at the words "aggressive" directly in the future.
Since sharing a dormitory with Xia Chujian, they have discovered that there are many more words they cannot look at directly.
...
Just as the Military Court's online trial ended, what happened at the Flight Training Base was transmitted to Meng Guanghui through the Special Security Bureau's monitoring channels.
He watched the entire trial from beginning to end, both excited and speechless.
How did this girl manage to make people's blood boil first, and then pour a bucket of cold water on them?! The Special Security Bureau's network monitoring also sent Meng Guanghui a copy of the video of Xia Chujian annihilating the Rebels on Kanli Star.
This monitoring video was, of course, the video that the Instructors watched live in the command room of that Peng-type Transport Aircraft.
After watching it several times, Meng Guanghui was even more surprised.
He hurriedly took the video and knocked on Huo Yushen's office.
It was already midnight on Beichen Star.
Huo Yushen watched all the videos released by Meng Guanghui, and was also silent.
"Marshal Huo, your vision is too good! No wonder you insisted on pulling this Xia Chujian into our department... You even gave her credit when she was still a high school student, and she was put on the Special Security Bureau's official staff!" Meng Guanghui looked at Huo Yushen admiringly, "She really should go to our Empire's First Military University's Star Destroyer command major!"
"Look at her strategic planning! She's a natural commander! She's really wasted in the Special Security Bureau!"
Meng Guanghui also came from the Interstellar Fleet.
He had also been a high-ranking commander, so when he saw Xia Chujian voluntarily requesting to lead this batch of trainees to take down the Kanli Star Rebels' base camp, he felt not only excitement but also the thrill of discovering a rare talent! Huo Yushen's eyes flickered slightly as he said calmly, "How has the Special Security Bureau wronged her? The Special Security Bureau isn't exactly averse to fighting either."
Meng Guanghui: "..."
That was true.
He composed himself and said with a mix of admiration and regret, "She has the potential. With a few years of proper training, taking down the Southern Cross Star Kingdom wouldn't be a problem."
Huo Yushen remained impassive, carefully watching the videos, and finally saw the trial process in the Star Network Military Court.
His lips twitched.
Meng Guanghui pointed at the video and said, "Look, she's really bold. She can talk eloquently in front of the judge in the Military Court and even get that Lü Luyu discharged. By the way, that Lü Luyu said her Ability is 'Slaughter'. It seems quite powerful, but luckily her level isn't high, otherwise Xia Chujian's Rank A Ability Defense Helmet wouldn't have worked."
Huo Yushen thought, No matter how high the level, it's useless against Xia Chujian...
Of course, he didn't reveal everything to Meng Guanghui, but said coldly, "The assessment of Abilities requires following procedures. Don't you wonder why the judge didn't make her go through the identification process?"
Meng Guanghui suddenly understood, "That judge probably has some connection with the Lü Family, right?"
"Not the Lü Family, but a relationship with Lü Luyu's uncle." Huo Yushen quickly retrieved Lü Luyu's background information from the Special Security Bureau system, as well as the information of that Military Court judge.
Meng Guanghui said factually, "The relationship shouldn't be too close, right? I think he handled it relatively impartially, otherwise Xia Chujian might have gotten into some trouble."
She dared to seriously injure Lü Luyu in front of the judge, which was also beyond Meng Guanghui's expectations.
He felt that this subordinate, when she really went wild, could probably poke a hole in the sky...
Huo Yushen nodded, "Yes, the judge gave Lü Luyu's uncle some face, but not much. As for Xia Chujian..."
At this moment, Huo Yushen really felt that it was difficult to grasp the right measure.
If he let her keep a low profile, those idiots would insist on provoking her, not allowing her to keep a low profile.
But if he let her be high-profile, Huo Yushen was worried that her unique Ability couldn't be hidden.
He was afraid that even he wouldn't be able to protect her by then...
Huo Yushen rubbed his temples. After a while, he said, "Warn her. Tell her that if she continues to act recklessly, her welfare benefits will be halved."
Meng Guanghui was puzzled, "Just that? Will it work?"
Only welfare benefits were halved, and even salary and bonuses weren't deducted! Huo Yushen looked at him coldly, without saying a word.
Meng Guanghui hurriedly nodded emphatically, saluting and saying, "Yes, Marshal Huo!"
Then, Xia Chujian had just finished lunch when she received a message from Meng Guanghui.
[Meng Guanghui]: Chujian, I know about your matter. I am proud of the achievements you have made, but I must also remind you that if you cause trouble in the Military Court again, your welfare benefits will be halved.
Xia Chujian was stunned by this message, as if struck by lightning.
She could ignore everything else, but when it came to her welfare benefits, she absolutely couldn't turn a deaf ear.
Her Aunt and Wu Fu were still counting on the Advanced Nutrient Solution issued by the Special Security Bureau to recuperate!
And Advanced Nutrient Solution required quotas to obtain.
Otherwise, you couldn't buy it even with money.
She hurriedly sent a message to express her repentance.
[Xia Chujian]: Chief, I was wrong. I will definitely follow the rules in the future and guarantee that I will not cause trouble in the Military Court again!
Meng Guanghui was slightly relieved when he saw her reply.
But for some reason, he felt a string tightening in his heart.
He always felt that Xia Chujian would cause him trouble again sometime...
In that instant, Meng Guanghui suddenly felt that his rank of Colonel was too low, even the position of one of the Special Security Bureau's second-in-commands was too low.
His superior had no status or ability and couldn't protect such a subordinate! There was no other way. He had to perform meritorious service, get promoted, and raise his military rank to at least Major General to give such a troublemaking subordinate more protection.
With this thought, Meng Guanghui immediately reported to Huo Yushen, requesting to carry out some more dangerous and major tasks to earn great merit and get promoted.
Huo Yushen looked at the task list in front of him and said, "There is a task, but what about your particularly troublesome subordinate?"
Meng Guanghui's mind raced, "Marshal Huo, please take care of her for two months. After I return from the mission, you can hand her back to me!"
Huo Yushen: "..."
He said in a low voice, "You take care of it yourself. I'm busy with work and can't guarantee I'll be able to look after her."
Meng Guanghui quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay! As long as it's not a matter of life and death, you don't need to worry about it!"
Huo Yushen silently looked at the message Meng Guanghui sent. On the virtual display screen, he casually drew a graphic that looked like a flag.
Then he saw Meng Guanghui accept the mission to explore for rare Exotic Metal on the Unknown Planet.
The critical bottleneck currently restricting the development of weapons in the Beichen Empire is the extreme scarcity of Exotic Metal.
The metals of the Beichen Empire are roughly divided into three categories.
First, Conventional Metals, which are those metals marked on the Beichen Empire's periodic table.
Second, Special Metals, which are newly discovered metals outside the periodic table.
These metals often have higher metallic properties than Conventional Metals. In essence, they are like upgrades and evolutions of Conventional Metals.
However, the five planets of the Beichen Empire, and the satellites belonging to those planets, do not have Special Metals.
In recent years, they have only successively discovered some planets or satellites with Special Metals in those uninhabited and unoccupied outer space regions.
The mining volume is not large, but it can be regarded as a continuous and sustainable extraction.
Third, there are Exotic Metals. The existence of Exotic Metals is a huge subversion for the metallurgy and mining industries of the Beichen Empire.
Their properties are different from any Conventional Metal or Special Metal.
Sometimes, it even makes people feel that these Exotic Metals seem to have life...
They do not exist on the planets and satellites owned by the Beichen Empire, nor do they exist in those uninhabited and unoccupied outer space regions.
The Beichen Empire has also discovered some Exotic Metals in the past twenty years, but the celestial bodies where these Exotic Metals exist cannot be located at all, because they are not within the Beichen Galaxy.
In the beginning, more than twenty years ago, a space accident caused a group of Special Security Bureau agents on a special mission to be randomly teleported by a Wormhole to an unknown star field, where they occasionally discovered some materials they had never seen before.
That time, less than one percent of them returned to the Beichen Empire with this special material.
The special material brought back that year was named Exotic Metal, and it was all given to scientists for research and development.
This research and development led to remarkable discoveries, making the high-level officials of the Empire have an insatiable demand for this Exotic Metal.
More than twenty years later, with the improvement of the Beichen Empire's interstellar exploration technology, especially after breaking through the technology of inducing small Wormholes, the most mysterious department in the Special Security Bureau, based on the previous accident trajectory, finally mastered a stable route to this unknown star field.
Just half a year ago, a team of interstellar prospectors from the Special Security Bureau opened a small Wormhole and entered this unknown star field along this route, making a major discovery.
They found several planets that had just fully developed.
These planets are particularly small in volume, but their mass is particularly large.
After preliminary exploration, it was found that the content of Exotic Metal in them was extraordinarily high.
Therefore, the Emperor and the Military and the Cabinet all agreed to give this mining mission a very high military merit value.
As long as they can come back alive, their military rank will be raised directly by one level.
If anyone wants to make great achievements in a short period of time, the best way is to go to this unknown star field and collect Exotic Metal deposits.
There are definitely dangers, and they are top-level dangers, but compared to that time, the degree of danger should be greatly reduced.
The main point is that because they have mastered the technology of opening and positioning small Wormholes, they can ensure that those who go will have a way back.
This is exactly what Meng Guanghui wanted.
He immediately accepted the mission and went to mine on one of the planets.
Huo Yushen saw it and said to him, "This mission is extremely difficult, and the possibility of sacrifice is 90%. Do you still want to go?"
Meng Guanghui said without hesitation, "Go! We are soldiers! If we are afraid of death, what kind of soldiers are we?!"
Huo Yushen was silent for a long while, and said, "Do your best, don't be too eager to fight, and pay attention to protecting yourself. - If the danger is too great, open the Wormhole, and I will come to save you."
"Yes, Chief!" Meng Guanghui felt warm in his heart, thinking that he was indeed Marshal Huo's most protective and caring subordinate!
Huo Yushen nodded and clicked "Agree" on Meng Guanghui's mission application.
After Meng Guanghui's mission application was approved, he immediately began preliminary preparations.
This time, he couldn't go alone. He had to bring an elite squad.
Because the mission was too dangerous, the small team going with him had to fully understand the dangers of the mission, and then had to be completely voluntary.
This was a mission with a 90% mortality rate, and possibly total annihilation. It wouldn't do not to explain it clearly.
Of course, the elite team members who were willing to go with him were all thinking about rapid promotion through military merits.
As Gene Evolvers who were not Nobles, this mission would not only allow them to be promoted quickly, but also allow them to touch the threshold of the Nobles!
Why wouldn't they go?! Taking a gamble with their lives, their descendants might benefit for generations.
Besides, they were elite members of the Special Security Bureau, and they were already gambling with their lives on every mission.
Therefore, Meng Guanghui quickly assembled a team.
At the same time, he also sent a message to Kang Shanxing specifically.
[Meng Guanghui]: Shan Xing, we are friends and comrades-in-arms for many years, and also colleagues. This time, I'm going out to perform a mission and can't contact anyone. There's something, if Marshal Huo can't take care of it, can you help me keep an eye on it? Kang Shanxing was very surprised to see the message Meng Guanghui suddenly sent in the middle of the night, and couldn't help replying immediately.
[Kang Shanxing]: ...Guanghui, do you want me to help you take care of your fiancée?
Meng Guanghui slapped the table unhappily and replied angrily.
[Meng Guanghui]: Why are you cursing me for no reason!
[Kang Shanxing]: Then who do you want me to help you take care of? [Meng Guanghui]: It's that capable and troublesome subordinate of mine...
[Kang Shanxing]: ...Xia Chujian?
[Meng Guanghui]: Yes, this time I'm going out on a mission, for as short as three months, or as long as half a year. I need you to help me.
