Chapter 794 A Smooth Sailing

"."

The blond boy pursed his lips and shook his head, indicating that he had no messages from his friends either, and that his text messages seemed to have gone unanswered due to signal problems.

However, the practical training was about to begin, and if the other party was still on their way, they would inevitably be late.

Zhou Xiuwen frowned, somewhat worried that poor little Ah Hui might have run into some trouble on the road again, or gotten involved in some conspiracy.

It's no wonder he thought that way, given that he and three other friends had witnessed it firsthand over the past few years. That guy's accident-prone nature was truly something else; he was the kind of person who would probably get hit by a melon even just by going out for a normal day.

And not being able to contact her yet is always a cause for concern. Zhou Xiuwen exchanged a glance with Huan Xian, who was standing next to him with his arms crossed. Huan Xian shrugged slightly, and Zhou Xiuwen considered sending another text message to ask. He should at least tell her that the practical training was about to start, and if she really couldn't make it, she should contact the teaching office to explain the situation and come back a day later. Otherwise, arriving halfway through the training would probably give the instructors a very bad impression.

What's wrong with this guy? Didn't he say he could make it? Or did something go wrong with the exam this time?

"Beep beep—" Zhou Xiuwen's eyes lit up. Could it be...?
Huan Xian, standing beside him, calmly turned his gaze away from the light screen, and as he looked up, a hint of surprise and a smile flashed in his eyes.

After the auction that day, Jiang Hui and his group were quickly picked up by the garrison dispatched by Zhou Yuanjing. They were then transported across the three major shipping lanes at top speed, all arranged in advance, without any delay, as if some monster was chasing them.

As Jiang Hui had predicted, chaos indeed erupted at the top after the auction. Not only were there the shocking stories of the rebels entering and leaving the Sihai Trading Company as if it were their own backyard, but the unresolved issues of profit division from the auction also surfaced all at once, turning the interconnected aristocratic families into complete disarray in just two days.

Of course, with things in chaos at the top, her friends couldn't possibly stay completely uninvolved.

Huan Xian, needless to say, was probably just taking a break from his mission to rescue people. He helped escort his friends to safety and then rushed off to take on a new mission, saying he'd see them again when school started.

Even Zhou Xiuwen, who was supposedly only handling some unimportant chores for his father, was called back by Zhou Yuanjing the day after he landed, presumably to explain the auction.

Later, I heard from the other party that besides checking a large number of spies who were colluding with outsiders at the auction that day, it seemed that something extremely important had also been lost. At present, all departments of the military are searching with all their might, but unfortunately the enemy has cut off all traces too cleanly, and they have not found any clues. This has angered several important figures, and the commotion has been so great that even his father, Zhou Yuanjing, has heard about it.

Then the four-person team was reduced to just Jiang Hui and Clarence.

Unexpectedly, Clarence was also summoned back by his father shortly afterward. It seems that the auction incident had gone too far, causing the parents to become quite alarmed.

However, Jiang Hui has no fixed address in the central star region, nor do she know anyone. All her friends have gone home, leaving her alone.

Clarence, not wanting to leave his friend behind, invited her to Zhen Nanxing's home before departing. Zhen Nanxing, being one of the nine stars of the first ring, was indeed quite intriguing.

In the end, Jiang Hui's rationality prevailed over her curiosity. After all, her friends were not only no pushovers themselves, but also came from extraordinary backgrounds, with many influential figures in their families. This trip would likely be another world-shaking experience, and Jiang Hui felt it was better to stay by herself before school started; she really wanted some peace and quiet. As for where to stay, Stark had mentioned it before; she could use her identity to stay at the military post station for a while. After all, she was considered a military reserve member, so not only was the price affordable, but the safety level was also high.

He was rejected. Clarence is usually very discreet, maintaining a certain distance even with his friends, but perhaps due to his youthful nature, he was clearly unhappy before leaving.

Then Jiang Hui could find the nearest military post station and happily stay at home. What a joke! Clarence had just boarded the spaceship when Jiang Hui received a new notification.

—This is a notification about the mecha piloting level exam.

The chaos that erupted on Atlantis a few months ago was truly overwhelming. Jiang Hui almost forgot that his initial purpose in going there was to take an exam, and the various unexpected events that occurred during that exam were actually part of the chaotic army's scheme.

Although she and her friends almost got wiped out that time, it wasn't a complete disaster. Jiang Hui passed the first round, barely making it, and at least got her D-class driver's license. As for the A-class license she applied for, since no one else got it due to the internal strife, there was nothing to complain about.

So when Jiang Hui heard that the military was considering reorganizing the exam, she didn't have high hopes, thinking it would be at least six months to a year from now. She hadn't expected it to be implemented so quickly, and so suddenly. Jiang Hui's gaze fell on that very delicate time and place, and she seriously considered how likely she was to make it back in time for the start of the semester.
No, who arranged the make-up exam time? It wasn't on purpose, was it? Did they deliberately make her late?

But Jiang Hui didn't want to give up the chance to retake the exam, otherwise she'd have to wait several more years. After much deliberation, she decided to go anyway. As for the school, she figured she shouldn't be late.
Bullshit. If Jiang Hui could travel back a month, she would probably reconsider her itinerary more carefully, or she would rather be late than end up like this. What is this?
Jiang Hui, who had thought she was definitely going to be late and was planning to contact the academic affairs office after disembarking, got off the spaceship with a kind person who gave her a ride. Then she found herself facing thousands of people in the open space.

Jiang Hui:
What the hell? !
Having overcome numerous obstacles and weathered countless storms, Jiang Hui felt for a moment that even the flat ground beneath her feet seemed unsteady. For a fleeting instant, she even considered turning back and retracing her steps; the practical training and military training could be postponed by a day, it wasn't urgent. But—

Someone waved to her.

"."

The stern-looking colonel looked at the front row, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Over there—are those your classmates?"

Without specifying a name and with several soldiers between them, Jiang Hui had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "Yes, Colonel Wales."

The Welsh colonel seemed oblivious to Jiang Hui's stiff expression, nodded slightly, and said calmly, "Then go ahead, it's not time to assemble yet."

Okay, the time limit wasn't exceeded, but my skin got completely overloaded.

Jiang Hui twitched her lips, but had no choice but to accept reality and walk toward the person who was waving enthusiastically at her.

Alright, Zhou Xiuwen, stop waving. I see you.
