Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 259 Awarding
Chi Li and Chi Lili are both novices in using spirit beasts.

The former is a fake spirit beast, and this thing does not have inherited memories like the various beasts in the fairy world. She has figured everything out on her own since she came to this world as the host spirit beast.

Not to mention the latter, I didn't have this talent before, so I didn't need to learn this kind of knowledge at all. I just knew some surface common sense. Later, I awakened and needed to learn, but the time was too short and the online course hadn't taught this point yet, so I only understood it halfway.

This resulted in their knowledge of spirit beasts being limited to the fact that they could help amplify their owner's mental power, allowing it to increase at the same frequency as the mecha, and that they had various special abilities. However, they did not know that spirit beasts could be manifested to such a huge size through phantoms.

Behind Wu Yunyun and the other two stood a different spirit beast, each of which was several hundred meters tall and much larger than the mechas they were driving.

The spirit beasts roared fiercely, and their huge bodies frightened the surrounding crazy interstellar monsters so much that they dared not come up for a while.

Every spirit beast is the embodiment of its owner's inner self. This statement has been said many times.

Therefore, Wu Yunyun and the others’ spirit beasts are also different.

Wu Yunyun is an outgoing, cheerful and generous person. Her spirit beast is a passionate dog. However, this dog looks different from ordinary dogs. It has two tails. Even if it appears to be ferocious in battle, the two big furry tails behind it that can almost turn into propellers still make people feel very cute.

Sui Kemo is a serious but taciturn person. Her spirit beast is quite contrasting. It is a parrot with a very bad temper and dazzling feathers. This guy is one of the few spirit beasts that can talk, but it is said that its owner would rather it not talk, because every time it opens its mouth, it makes remarks that should be muted. Its sarcasm is full and it often causes trouble for its owner, so Sui Kemo rarely lets it out.

In comparison, Liu Jiayan’s spirit beast is quite normal, a majestic and ferocious lion-tiger beast.

This liger is snow-white all over, with only a golden-brown "王" pattern on its forehead, the same as that of a tiger, which adds a bit of kingly aura to it. At this time, the giant liger is lying on the ground, opening its bloody mouth and roaring at the interstellar monsters in terror, as if warning them that if they dare to come any closer, it will pounce on them and tear them to pieces.

Faced with these three terrifying giants, the interstellar monsters were indeed shocked for a moment, but their crazy brains had little rationality left, and soon they were influenced by their animal instincts and pounced on them fearlessly, wanting to drag out the four foods hiding in the iron lumps, tear them apart, and swallow them into their stomachs.

Unfortunately, as soon as they made a move, the opponent launched a more powerful counterattack.

At the command of its master, three ferocious spirit beasts suddenly pounced out, the two-tailed dog bared its teeth ferociously, and rushed into the group of interstellar monsters. Relying on its huge size, it was like a tank, crushing countless interstellar monsters easily.

Its sharp teeth, claws, and even the two tails behind it are the best weapons. Chi Li saw several interstellar monsters that were unable to dodge and were hit by the two-tailed dog's tails. They were twisted into twisted shapes on the spot and fell tragically into the abyss of the universe. They were then salvaged and recycled by battlefield recovery robots halfway.

I noticed that every time the two-tailed dog attacked, there would be a flash of metallic light on its body, and when this light appeared, some sharp metal blades would appear around it and attach to the surface of its fur, becoming part of its body weapons.

She knew that was the special ability of the Twin-Tailed Dog, partial metal manipulation.

Why is it called "partial"? That's because after testing, it was found that the two-tailed dog can only manipulate a few fixed types of metals, not all metals, so it can only be said to be partial, not all.

Fortunately, the types of metals that the two-tailed dog can manipulate are all among the hardest in the interstellar space, and many of them can be used to manufacture mechas, so their lethality is not weak. It is even said that Wu Yunyun relied on this to take an additional course in mecha manufacturing, which means that she is both a mecha warrior and a mecha manufacturer, but compared to mecha control, her mecha manufacturing level is one level lower.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Human energy is limited, and it is impossible to be proficient in everything. One can only make choices. Wu Yunyun prefers the feeling of controlling a mecha and fighting fiercely with the enemy, so she mainly takes the route of a mecha warrior. But this does not mean that her mecha manufacturing ability is weak. As an A-level mecha manufacturer, she is also a senior technical talent with a very high status outside.

It is also a very lucrative profession.

So among the few people, Wu Yunyun's mecha was the best modified, and the materials used were also quite rare and expensive. It was nominally an S-class mecha, but in fact it was almost catching up with the double S-class. These were the results of her spending a lot of money.

Although active members of the Federation generally accumulate military merits to exchange for better mechas or mecha accessories, it does not prohibit members from using their own money to get themselves a better mecha.

After all, accumulating military merit is not an easy thing, and it is even more impossible to have such an opportunity all the time. But there are always some people who are eager to upgrade their equipment. Of course, they can wait for allocation from their superiors. In fact, the federal government’s daily military expenditure is quite sufficient, and there is no ambiguity in the equipment of mechas and weapons. Special arms are equipped with the most advanced equipment that the outside world does not have. But all this requires you to do it slowly and step by step.

Those who can’t wait and have money can only pay out of their own pockets.

The ability of the Flash Parrot is ultrasonic wave, which matches its character of chattering all day long. However, it is not known whether the sound wave is caused by the owner's lack of control or it is just like this, which makes it a bit of an indiscriminate attack. If Sui Kemo's target was not them, and Chi Lili and the others were all S-level or above and had a high resistance to it, they would have suffered a concussion.

The interstellar monsters around are not so lucky.

Within the visible range of the naked eye, all the interstellar monsters below S level were knocked down by this terrifying sound wave attack. Chi Li quickly scanned their conditions with his spiritual sense and found that the lower the level of the interstellar monster, the more serious the injuries. Some even died directly from their brains shattered by the ultrasound. Of course, most of them fainted.

The S-class interstellar monsters are able to resist this, but don't forget that they are all in a state of mental explosion at this time. Their already collapsed mental powers have suffered such a severe blow. Many of them have become even crazier, and have even reached the point where they can't distinguish between friend and foe, and start attacking each other with red eyes.

Among them, the very few double S-level interstellar monsters were affected to a certain extent. Don’t forget that Sui Kemo is the only double S-level powerhouse among them. How could her attacks fail to hurt enemies of the same level?

It's just that the range attack is not as powerful as the single attack, so it seems to have little effect on interstellar monsters of the same level.

This was the first time Chi Lili saw two S-level experts take action. She didn't expect them to be so terrifying.

It made her feel as if she was facing something dangerous.

The comrades performed brilliantly, and Liu Jiayan was not to be outdone.

Her liger roared in the air, and highly compressed energy balls condensed in front of the word "king" on its forehead. Under its control, the energy balls flew flexibly into the area where interstellar monsters were densely populated, and then exploded suddenly, clearing a small area in an instant. The power was no weaker than the super-heavy particle energy cannon carried by Chi Lili's mecha.

You have to know that Chi Lili's mecha has only one heavy cannon, and the energy stored in it can only fire five shells at most. Once used up, it's gone and she has to go back to recharge it. And it costs millions of star coins to recharge it once, which means that all the money she fired was wasted.

This heavy artillery was specially equipped by the Federation for her to save her life at critical moments. It is said that if a shell can hit the enemy, even a double S-level strongman will be seriously disabled if not killed.

This shows how powerful it is.

Liu Jiayan's spirit beast can produce and fire a large number of such shells as if they were playing. After a round of fierce attacks, it does not seem to be exhausted and still has strength to spare, which shows that she is also very powerful.

"It turns out that the giant phantoms of spirit beasts can also fight, just like real entities." Chi Lili sighed as she watched the fierce battle outside. She originally thought that these giant phantoms only served as a deterrent, but she didn't expect that they really possessed powerful strength to match the deterrent.

"Should we give it a try?" Chi Li felt that if other people's spirit beasts could do it, then so could she, and she was quite eager to give it a try.

"Wait a minute, I don't think this is that simple."

To be on the safe side, Chi Lili did not let Chi Li take the risk.

"Okay." Although if she really went up, she would definitely not be worse than the parrot, but since the host wanted to be cautious, Chi Li gave up the idea of ​​going out to show off.

The Second Legion is worthy of being one of the six major legions of the Federation. With their strong participation, the war situation was quickly brought under control, the interstellar monsters were beaten back step by step, and victory was just around the corner.

Who knows, something unexpected happens!

Hidden among the swarm of monsters, a bug-like creature staggered out.

No matter how strange the interstellar monsters looked, as soon as this bug appeared, the unique instinct of interstellar people allowed them to recognize it immediately. It was a Zerg, and a seriously injured high-level Zerg at that.

For some reason, this Zerg was mixed in with the rioting interstellar monsters. Its body was covered with various wounds, and it looked more like it had been bitten by the interstellar monsters. However, it still survived tenaciously. When the interstellar people were about to defeat the interstellar monsters and suppress the riot, it suddenly appeared and used its last life to let out a silent scream.

Before she even had time to react, a sudden tinnitus hit her brain. For a moment, Chi Lili almost forgot who she was, where she was, and what had happened. The next moment, intense pain attacked her brain, and the calm sea of ​​her mind began to riot, with waves rolling endlessly.

She couldn't help but disconnect from the mecha, and she struggled in pain with her hands covering her brain, blood gushing out of her mouth and nose.

This feeling is not unfamiliar.

It's an explosion of mental power.

A healer generally wouldn't have a mental outburst, except in special circumstances where their life was in danger or they were under mental attack. Chi Lili had experienced the former before, but she didn't expect that she would experience a mental outburst caused by the latter so soon. Even though she had reached S-level at this time, she couldn't withstand the opponent's attack.

The intense pain made her almost want to smash her head, but she still had her sanity and realized what kind of Zerg they encountered.

——Secondary insect queen!

It is second only to the most powerful Worm Queen. It is said that the weakest level among them has double S level. A mental attack can trigger a large-scale mental riot among the frontline soldiers. It is also the main reason why Chi Lili, the S-level therapist, was sent to the battlefield.

The strongest attack launched by the opponent before his death was simply beyond the ability of Chi Lili, who had just broken through to S-level not long ago, to resist, so her mental power exploded easily. If there was no timely rescue by a healer of the same level, not only her, but also other comrades would probably die here.

"Alarm, alarm... The driver is abnormal, the mental link is broken, requesting rescue, activating the highest level defense mode... Alarm, alarm..."

Red lights kept flashing inside the mecha. Gao Zhao reacted the moment Chi Lili was attacked mentally. He sent a distress signal to all possible places for help as quickly as possible, and at the same time automatically turned on the mecha's highest defense mode.

It turns out that its decision was not wrong.

As soon as the defense mode was activated, the mecha suffered a violent impact, causing Chi Lili, who was unable to control herself and was in pain, toppled from side to side. If she hadn't been tied with a safety device on her body, she would have rolled to the ground.

A virtual screen unfolds and automatically displays the outside situation.

It turned out that several mad double S-level interstellar monsters broke through the defense of Wu Yunyun and others who were also in a mental riot, and attacked Chi Lili.

After all, he was more resistant than Chi Lili, who didn't have much experience. Even when he was in a state of mental riot, as soon as Sui Kemo found that his defense was breached, he was able to forcibly control the mecha to come back and rescue Chi Lili.

"Li Li!"

Chi Li didn't expect that she would be hit by an information gap. Due to her lack of understanding of the secondary insect queen, she was unable to help the host defend against this wave of attacks in time, causing her to fall into a mental riot.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately swung her tail in the host's spiritual sea, stirring up layers of water waves. Wherever the extremely gentle waves reached, the turbulent waves were soothed and the shaking spiritual sea soon returned to calm.

The pain disappeared. Chi Lili ignored the blood on her face and used her mental power to connect with Gao Zhao again. She ordered in a cold voice: "Gao Zhao, turn the amplification mode to the maximum, and transmit the spiritual beast virtualization data to me."

As Chi Lili expected, this kind of information really existed in the Gaozhao system. It immediately carried out the master's task. Along with the transmission of the data, the amplification function of the therapist's exclusive mecha began to rise continuously until it reached its limit.

"Sure enough, the giant transformation of the spirit beast requires the help of mechas."

Chi Lili read the information as quickly as possible, not caring that the skills mentioned above belonged to the high-level skills of S-class mecha warriors. If she was not careful, it might damage her own spiritual sea. Chi Lili calmly called out to Chi Li.

"Chili."

"clear."

All of Chi Li's power surged out, and with the host's power reaching 100% synchronization with the mecha, under the amplification power of the mecha, his mental body became virtual and gigantic, and his strength was enhanced several times.

After feeling the power in her body, she realized that this was the correct way to use the spirit beast and why S-class mecha warriors were stronger than A-class mecha warriors.

Because the strength that the two can exert is simply not on the same level.

The mental attack launched by the secondary insect queen before her death had a huge impact, almost covering the entire northern border battlefield.

Not only all the soldiers on the battlefield who were struggling to resist the invasion of interstellar monsters, but also the interstellar monsters that had fallen into mental turmoil and madness, and even the residents hiding in several northern border planets, all of them were affected by this attack and fell into a state of mental turmoil to varying degrees.

In this state, the already crazy interstellar monsters seemed to be energized. Not only did their combat power double, but they also fought more violently and irrationally, and attacked indiscriminately, regardless of whether they were humans or their own kind.

If they could stay farther away, perhaps humans could sit back and watch the interstellar monsters kill each other, but now is the worst situation. Because of the war, many of them are mixed in with the interstellar monsters, and naturally become those who are indiscriminately attacked.

Moreover, most people lost their ability to fight under the influence of the mental riot. Even if some people had strong willpower and resisted this wave of attacks, they were still greatly affected. In this case, if there were no high-level healers to turn the tide, it is very likely that all of them, including the planets behind them, would be devoured by the violent interstellar monsters!

completely annihilated.

"Major General, what should we do?" The adjutant covered his head with his hands, his face twisted in pain, but he still forced himself to stay rational and asked the commander-in-chief for his opinion.

"How is Chi Lili doing?"

Major General Zhong was also greatly affected, but he remained calm and composed.

He was the first to confirm Chi Lili's situation.

The support team sent by the Second Legion consisted of one main battleship and twenty frigates, with a total of over 120,000 people on board these twenty-one ships. With so many people, everyone was likely to have a mental disturbance, so naturally they could not rely solely on a therapist like Chi Lili to treat them.

According to regulations, each frigate will be equipped with two to three B-level therapists, and the main battleship will have at least ten B-level or above therapists. However, due to the rarity and preciousness of S-level therapists, the therapists generally serving in the military are at best A-level.

Chi Lili is the only S-class in the entire fleet.

Therefore, Major General Zhong only confirmed her condition. If even she could not resist the attack of the secondary insect queen, then the situation of other healers would naturally not be optimistic and they could not be relied upon.

On the contrary, if she could resist...

Even if they hold on, it seems that just one healer cannot influence the outcome of the battle.

However, it is good to minimize casualties, as every soldier's life is precious.

However, when he finished speaking and saw his subordinates' faces becoming even uglier, he knew that the situation was not good.

"Not long ago, we received an emergency distress signal from the Gaozhao. Chi Lili was also affected by the attack of the secondary insect mother and fell into a mental riot. As a healer, she has no experience in fighting against her own mental riot. The current situation is probably..."

The adjutant didn't say the rest, but everyone present knew what a critical situation Chi Lili was in.

And unfortunately, the secondary insect mother was not far away from Chi Lili at that time, and it seemed like she was specifically heading for her, so she could almost be said to be facing the attack of the secondary insect mother head-on, unable to dodge it.

Major General Zhong's jaw tightened for a moment, and he decisively gave the order: "Notify everyone to retreat completely, and let the soldiers who can still move escort Chi Lili back safely at all costs."

In this situation, there is no point in continuing to fight, and the first choice is to retreat to the main battleship and defend a few northern border planets.

The key point is that nothing must happen to the S-level therapist. The Federation is under a lot of pressure to send people to the battlefield this time. Almost all S-level therapists in the country, even double S-level therapists and some well-informed A-level therapists are watching this plan. Once something happens to Chi Lili here, no one can imagine the consequences. What is certain is that they will face endless troubles from the entire therapist group in the future.

Almost every non-therapist interstellar being in the universe relies on therapists to survive, and they can't afford to offend this group.

Therefore, even at all costs, Chi Lili must be saved.

The order had just been issued when a shocking scene suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The dark blue mecha, which had stopped all movements because the driver was in a state of mental turmoil, suddenly started moving again. It seemed that its driver had never been affected and could still drive the mecha steadily.

But she did not retreat to a safe area while driving the mecha. Instead, she turned on the maximum flight power and rushed straight to where the soldiers were most concentrated.

Where are the most friendly forces on the battlefield?

That is naturally the front line of the battle.

It was like Chi Lili actually ran straight to where the fighting was most intense, and the three protection personnel originally assigned to her were unable to move due to their mental turmoil. They could only watch her fly into the most dangerous place like a moth to a flame.

"Chi Lili, come back!"

Countless voices were heard in the communication channel, and no one knew who they came from. Chi Lili ignored them all and focused on driving the mecha and cooperating with Chi Li to transform into a shadow.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a gorgeous golden figure emerged from behind a dark blue mecha, with long black hair like a waterfall of silk fluttering behind her, her hair tied up in flowing buns, decorated with an intricate and gorgeous gold and jade headdress, and she wore a gorgeous fairy dress with rippled golden threads, with wide sleeves fluttering and her skirt flying.

If you just look at it like this, everyone would think it is a fairy from ancient mythology descended to the mortal world. However, looking down, it is a fish tail that is different from human legs. Each fish scale is like a golden gem, reflecting dazzling light, making people unable to take their eyes away.

However, all of this was not as great as the otherworldly and peaceful aura surrounding her. It seemed that as long as he saw her, the sea of ​​​​spiritual energy in his mind would calm down a little.

"I can only hold on for two minutes, hurry up." Chi Lili gritted her teeth and said to Chi Li.

"enough."

Chi Li's voice at this moment seemed to come from ancient times, with an ethereal fairy sound. She spread her arms and waved her wide sleeves. Layers of waves rose out of thin air behind her. As she waved her hands downward, the surging tide washed across the entire universe in an instant, like pure water sprinkled from the Milky Way in the sky. Wherever it passed, anyone who was contaminated by this water was comforted, and the turbulent mental power quickly calmed down, the pain disappeared, and in turn both the body and mind were cleansed, and the mental state was better than ever.

"My head doesn't hurt anymore."

"Is this the power of an S-class healer?"

"I'm already well, yet you still want to attack me, you stinky monster, go to hell!"

……

After a brief moment of ecstasy, the healed warriors quickly came to their senses under the attacks of the mad interstellar monsters around them and plunged into battle once again.
But this time, perhaps because they were treated by the therapists, their spirits were still high, or perhaps because they were suddenly attacked by the secondary insect queen just now and were holding their anger, everyone burst out with strength beyond their previous strength, and in one fell swoop, they beat the interstellar monsters, which were already at the end of their strength, and scattered them, making the recovery robots almost too busy to handle it.

Although we experienced a crisis of collective mental riot, it also brought some benefits.

At least the war, which was originally expected to last for several days, ended on the first day. There were fewer casualties than expected, and many people witnessed and experienced the great impact that S-level healers can bring on the battlefield. It was a dreamy and magnificent scene, and some people called it a miracle.

However, the person who brought the miracle itself was not in a good condition at this time.

She was sleeping with her eyes closed in the advanced treatment cabin.

Outside the treatment cabin, Major General Zhong, Captain Yang and other senior generals gathered here and asked the ship's doctor beside them with concern: "How is the situation?"

"I can only say that she is relatively stable, and her mental power is slowly recovering. She had not learned it systematically before, and she rashly used advanced combat skills such as the Spirit Beast Phantom, and treated so many people at once. The mental power consumed is unimaginable. Now, it is considered a good result that her mental power is exhausted. In serious cases, it may even cause permanent mental damage or even brain death."

The military doctor's face did not look good. In addition to the fact that Chi Lili's current condition was indeed not very good, it was also because she had just recovered from a state of mental turmoil.

The attack of the secondary insect queen before her death had such a large impact range that even with Chi Li's help, Chi Lili could only heal most of her comrades on the battlefield even if she tried her best and even risked brain death.

Other places farther away, such as the residents of those planets, or some people on the edge of the battlefield, cannot be taken care of.

Fortunately, the main battleship and several frigates that were relatively close were covered by the treatment range at that time, and the therapists on the ship were also bathed in this healing wave and returned to normal.

They first treated the other healers who were still in a state of mental turmoil and restored them to normal. Then all the healers treated the warriors who were not taken care of one by one.

Only after their own people have been cured will they have the energy to help the planet's residents who have also been affected.

Fortunately, the residents of the planet were relatively far away, so they were not actually affected as much as the frontline soldiers. Some of them were even able to hold on on their own, and later, with the help of the rescue army and the local government, they quickly returned to normal life.

It was nearly a week before everything calmed down, and during this time, Chi Lili had been lying in the advanced treatment cabin and had not woken up.

The reason for her coma was a serious overdraft of her mental energy, which led to mental exhaustion. If she wanted to wake up, she could only wait for her mental strength to slowly recover. She would wake up naturally when she was able to wake up.

Today, the Second Legion has completed its mission perfectly and is on its way back. It will reach the capital planet in a few days. Chi Lili has not woken up yet, so Major General Zhong brought people over to show concern.

"Is this Chi Lili's spirit beast?"

Someone noticed a small translucent figure emerging from above Chi Lili's head. It had a human body and a fish tail. Although it had shrunk a lot, no one would forget the shocking scene that had been seen. So people who saw her quickly remembered that this was Chi Lili's spiritual beast.

Everyone was attracted by the sound and turned their eyes to Chi Li who was sticking her head out to see why it was so noisy outside.

Chi Li: "...There are so many people."

She was not afraid of strangers. She flew out, swam around the host's head, then leaned on the glass of the treatment cabin to look out, staring into the eyes of several people in military uniforms outside.

Someone bent down and greeted her with a smile: "Hi, little one, what's your name?"

Everyone knows that Chi Lili’s spirit beast is also the type that can talk, so there is no need to worry that she will not be able to communicate with others.

The other party's voice was a little blurry due to the glass and the nutrition supplement, but Chi Li still heard it clearly. She even answered politely: "My name is Chi Li, Li's Li."

In order to prevent others from confusing her name with that of the host, Chi Li also specifically emphasized which character her name was composed of.

"Hello Chi Li, when will Chi Lili wake up?"

People in the outside world who don’t understand much always assume that spirit beasts are vassals of their masters and define them as master-servant relationships, but in fact the spirit beast is the master himself, and there is no hierarchical relationship between the two. This is something that only people who own spirit beasts can understand.

The middle-aged man in front of him, who was wearing a military uniform and had a serious face, obviously understood this. He did not call Chi Lili "your master" but called her by her name, showing the equal relationship between the two.

Chi Li, who was used to being kept, didn't really feel much about this kind of address. Besides, she wasn't a human being and wouldn't be affected by human cognition. But she still decided to have a better impression of the middle-aged man, Major General Zhong. Everyone likes polite people.

Based on this, Chi Li replied in a polite manner: "Soon, he will wake up in about half a day."

"okay, thank you."

After receiving an accurate reply and knowing that Chi Lili would wake up in a dozen hours, Major General Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and then thanked the spiritual beast that had enthusiastically answered his questions.

The military doctor had said before that as long as the person can wake up, there will be no serious problem. Even if there are any injuries, they can be solved in the advanced treatment cabin, so there is no need to worry too much.

Since they had confirmed that the person was fine, they did not disturb him too much and left quickly, leaving the quiet space for the injured.

"Major General." After the others dispersed, Captain Yang quickly took two quick steps to catch up with Major General Zhong, rubbed his hands, and asked with a shy smile, "What was the response from the higher-ups when I submitted a report requesting the commendation of Chi Lili?"

Afraid that no one would respond, he quickly added: "Chi Lili has made a great contribution this time. Without her, we would have suffered heavy losses. If this praise is not adequate, it will easily make people feel disheartened."

Major General Zhong couldn't bear to see Captain Yang acting weird, so he raised his leg and kicked him lightly, saying, "Go away, I can't let my men down. Don't worry, the higher-ups have approved the reward for Chi Lili. They are very satisfied with her performance this time, and the reward will not be small."

That’s all I can say. I won’t say any more, lest something unexpected happens to the thing that was originally in my hands. This kind of thing is not uncommon no matter where you are, so it’s better to be cautious.

Captain Yang immediately showed an expression of understanding: "I understand, I understand. By the way, after this, you should also move up..."

He stretched out two fingers, with the fingertips pointing downwards, and moved them back and forth alternately, indicating a "walking" gesture.

This time Major General Zhong didn't say anything. He walked away with big strides. However, from his back, which vaguely revealed his high-spirited look, it was not difficult for Captain Yang to tell what he meant.

It seems that my guess was not wrong, Captain Yang thought happily.

The promotion of superiors is also beneficial to the people under them. As the battalion commander of the assault battalion, he has accumulated almost all the military merits. With his contribution this time, his rank may be further promoted.

Just as Chi Li said, Chi Lili woke up twelve hours later, and as soon as she woke up, she was overwhelmed by several bad news and good news.

Bad news: She's been targeted by the Bug Queen.

This time, someone leaked that the Federation was secretly training S-class healer warriors who could restrain the Secondary Zerg Queen, which is why the Secondary Zerg Queen suddenly appeared among the rioting group of interstellar monsters and launched an "accidental" sneak attack.

Even in this riot, it was hard to say whether it was a conspiracy set up by the Zerg to lure her over. The mental attack of the secondary Zerg Queen was not only effective on humans, but also on interstellar monsters.

Or there may also be a test to see whether the S-class healer warriors secretly trained by the Federation are really that powerful, strong enough to restrain the area mental attacks caused by the secondary insect queen.

However, the latter two are just the federation's own speculations. There is no evidence to prove whether the truth is true, so it is difficult to draw a conclusion.

The second bad news: Chi Lili became famous on Starnet.

Strictly speaking, it is her spirit beast, Ichiri, who is famous.

No one knew who took the photo of Chi Li's giant shadow and posted it online at that time. Regardless of why there were still people who could take photos at that time, even on such a dangerous battlefield, the fact that the photo was made public on the entire network is an indisputable fact. Even though the photo is blurry and cannot be seen clearly, the official conducted a full network search as soon as it was discovered and deleted all the photos, but many people still saw it, and some even quickly downloaded and saved it.

So everyone knows that the Federation actually sent a senior therapist to the battlefield, and now there is a lot of fuss about it, demanding an explanation from the Federation. Some people also say that the therapist should come forward herself and they will protect her, but no one knows what these people are thinking, let alone how many of them are trying to take advantage of the situation.

Under pressure, the Federation reluctantly stepped forward, with the Minister of Foreign Affairs personally holding a press conference live on the entire network to announce the existence of the secondary insect queen and express their helplessness.

After knowing that sending high-level healers to the battlefield was unavoidable and related to the life and death of all interstellar people, and that it was not only the Federation that did this, the crowd quieted down.

Soon, the tone of the internet changed and people began to praise the senior therapist who bravely stood up and fought to protect the country and its people.

It's just that the photo was too blurry, and the person was inside the mecha at the time, so his true face could not be captured. The Federation has not disclosed the official information of this therapist to the public, so the public has no idea who this person is, and can only praise that beautiful spirit beast.

[Paopao Bubble: Mermaid! This is the first time I see this kind of spiritual beast. Dream Valley is so beautiful! ]

[Ba Cao Ba: I guess the healer himself is also a very powerful person. 】

[Twisty House: Since they already have a spirit beast, it must be S-level, or even above S-level, how can it not be amazing? ]

[The Second Legion Commander's Dog: I really want to have such a beautiful spirit beast, but unfortunately my spirit power is only C-level, and it is impossible in this lifetime. This spirit beast is so powerful. I heard that she healed tens of thousands of soldiers who were in a spirit riot as soon as she appeared. It's so awesome. ]

[Save money to buy a mecha: Don’t say anything, an S-class healer who can also drive a mecha to the battlefield to fight interstellar monsters. This person will be my idol in the future. Although I don’t know whether the idol is a man or a woman, or what she looks like, I am just a brainless fan, hehe. ]

……

The second bad news is actually not that bad for Chi Lili. After all, her real appearance has not been exposed, so there will be no unnecessary harassment. The federal government and the military have also promised to strengthen the protection of her privacy and never let the information leak out again.

As for the exposed Chi Li, it was even simpler. It was just her mermaid appearance that was exposed. At worst, when she goes out with the host in the future, she will turn into a koi fish, or a complete human form. If that doesn't work, she will simply stay in the host's spiritual world and not go out.

The photo was so blurry that you could tell it was taken from a long distance with a super long-distance camera. Even her facial features looked like they were covered with a thick layer of mosaic. From a distance, she looked like just a golden figure, and the details were impossible to see. If she only changed into clothes of other colors, turned her fish tail into human legs, or just looked like a fish, who would be able to recognize her?

Speaking of...

"How can those people on the Internet praise me with such a blurry photo?" She felt embarrassed.

"They are not wrong to praise us. Our Chi Li is just very beautiful." Chi Lili's sincere praise was a killer move for Chi Li. She was in a good mood and directly took out a bottle of spirit recovery potion and handed it to the host.

"Drink it. It will help you recover your mental strength."

Chi Lili didn't ask what it was, she just took it and drank it.

The next moment, she felt a warm current soothing her aching head. The pain disappeared and her depleted mental strength was recovering rapidly. At this rate, she would be fully recovered in about three hours.

"You just told me the bad news, and you haven't told me the good news yet." Chi Li reminded the host to continue, she was still listening.

After releasing the power that could heal the mental turmoil of tens of thousands of people, Chi Li's spiritual power was severely overdrawn, and she had to sink deep into the host's spiritual sea to recuperate. When she woke up a few days later, she rummaged through the boxes and found a top-grade spiritual nourishing pill, which she threw into the host's spiritual sea to help her stabilize and nourish the spiritual sea that was almost collapsed, thus avoiding her fate of brain death.

Later, feeling that she had given too few good things to the host, Chi Li plunged into the soul space and searched everywhere. It was during this time that Chi Lili woke up, had conversations with various people outside, and was told a lot of information.

At that time, Chi Li only vaguely knew about this, but she didn't pay attention. When she came out after finding her things, the conversation had already ended.

Out of respect for the host, Chi Li would not rummage through the host's memory without permission, so she simply let her narrate it orally, let her listen to the gossip, ahem... understand the situation.

"The good news is that I have been awarded first-class merit for this military achievement, and will soon be awarded a military rank." Before Chi Lili joined the army, she was just a rookie and did not have any military rank. Now that she has achieved some results, she should get the due reward.

"I heard that Captain Yang and Major General Zhong put a lot of effort into my application for commendation. I must find a chance to thank them later."

Having military merit is only a prerequisite for being awarded a rank, not the only one. Sometimes you have to rely on some connections. Otherwise, the rank and position that should have been awarded to you this time may be blocked for various reasons and delayed to the next time, or even the next time. Or it is also possible that the rank and position that you could have obtained would be one or half a level lower than expected. Although it is helpless, this is the reality.

The federal military is relatively fair and honest. As long as you have the ability to contribute to the federation, you will be rewarded and will never be treated unfairly. However, if someone helps you out, it is undeniable that the already smooth road will become easier to walk.

Chi Lili is already highly regarded by her superiors, and this time she has the help of Captain Yang and Major General Zhong. It is preliminarily estimated that she will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant, but I don't know what rank she is.

"It shouldn't be high. After all, I have been in the army for too short a time, and I can't rank high in terms of seniority or performance." Chi Lili saw this quite clearly, so she was very relaxed.

After returning to the capital planet, the promotion documents from above also came down.

Because of her outstanding performance on the northern border battlefield, Chi Lili was awarded the rank of second lieutenant, the position of deputy platoon leader, and a medal.

The position of deputy platoon leader means that Chi Lili will have soldiers under her command, and this rank and position also comes with a good salary and welfare subsidies. She can now be considered a formal employee of the state.

The awarding ceremony was scheduled to be held three days later, and also attending would be Major General Zhong, Battalion Commander Yang and other officers of the Second Corps familiar to Chi Lili.

It is said that Major General Zhong was already on the verge of promotion, and now, with his military achievements on the northern border, he has been successfully awarded the rank of lieutenant general. The same goes for Battalion Commander Yang, who has been awarded the rank of colonel.

Some other people were also promoted, but Chi Lili was not familiar with them, so she didn't pay much attention.

She is busy now, taking extra classes.

Having been in a coma for so many days, she had missed a lot of online classes, which she had to make up for after waking up. The teacher lectured very fast, and even though the school thoughtfully arranged one-on-one professional course tutoring for her, Chi Lili was still very busy and overwhelmed.

If she had not been picked out from the school dormitory three days later and taken to change into formal military uniform to participate in the awarding ceremony, she would not have known that the ceremony was about to begin.

"Have you been so busy with tutoring that you forgot the time? Didn't you set an alarm to remind you?" The person who came specially to drag Chi Lili to attend the awarding ceremony was Yang Lu. In addition to being Chi Lili's online course teacher, she is also their class's life counselor, so she is responsible for any miscellaneous matters in students' daily lives.

"I set it, but I didn't hear it."

It should be said that the alarm clock rang, but Chi Lili, who was immersed in studying, ignored it, so she almost delayed the time.

"It's a good thing to love studying, but you also have to take care of your health. You've just recovered..." Yang Lu kept nagging Chi Lili while driving. Chi Lili listened quietly without refutation.

Sometimes she really likes to listen to this kind of chatter.

"Ding", a text message popped up, it was from a person with the note "sister". Chi Lili clicked it and saw only one sentence and a shopping link: "Sister, I want this, can you buy it for me?"

When I clicked on the link, I saw the latest model of headphones that cost more than 500 star coins. This price was already quite expensive, and it was something that my parents would not buy for my sister.

After all, they still have to save money to buy a mecha for their sister, so they can't waste money like this.

Although the money will be spent on herself in the end, Chi Xinxin obviously doesn't think so, so at this time she remembered that she has an older sister who is studying away from home and receives 2,000 yuan a month for living expenses.

Chi Lili decisively refused: "No."

If she remembered correctly, Chi Xinxin had just received a pair of headphones from her parents on her birthday a few months ago, which cost almost three hundred star coins. It was not the latest model, but it was also a very popular one. Why did she want to buy new ones now?

Today's headphones are not so easy to break. They are even of such good quality that they can still be used normally no matter if they are hit with a hammer, flooded with water, or burned by fire. So Chi Lili didn't believe that Chi Xinxin's headphones would break just after a few months.

Besides, if one pair broke, she still had several others, so she wasn't worried about having no use.

Therefore, she would not satisfy her sister's unreasonable consumption demands.

Chi Xinxin was quiet for a while, then sent an angry animal emoji: Hum.jpg

Chi Lili: "...She doesn't think she's cute, does she?"

Chi Li: “It’s possible.”

After observing the host's expression and seeing that she was not affected by the mood, Chi Li flew to sit on her shoulder and directed her to flip through the shopping interface to find the light computer model she liked.

Maybe she felt that it was a bit inconvenient for two people to use one optical computer. Since she had enough money now, Chi Lili decided to buy another optical computer for Chi Li.

She has gotten used to the old computer and doesn't want to change to a new one for the time being.

On the way to the awarding ceremony, Chi Lili, who had nothing to do, listened to teacher Yang Lu's talk while looking at the designs of the new optical computers with Chi Li.

Just like mobile phones, different brands and series of optical computers have different emphases on certain functions. Chi Li's goal is to play games better, so she has to find an optical computer brand that is better at gaming.

The two quickly selected a new optical computer with a stylish design, pure white shell and a value of more than 5,000 yuan. After placing the order, they waited for the merchant to ship the product, and then a courier robot would deliver the product to their door.

Chi Li is not the kind of person who prefers the color of her scales. For optical computers that are worn on the wrist in daily life, similar to watches, she still thinks the more common white color looks better.

The inauguration ceremony was held in a huge futuristic building. It was said that this was the highest military headquarters of the Federation and represented the highest military authority of the Federation.

"Xiaochi, here."

There is a huge venue inside the building where the ceremony will be held. It hasn't started yet and everyone is waiting in the waiting hall. Yang Lu led everyone here but couldn't get in. Fortunately, the sharp-eyed old Yang spotted Chi Lili and quickly waved for her to come over.
