I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 36 Unexpected Merit
Because her life was too routine, Lin Xiaohe let Xinbao secretly connect to the internet.

To do this, she spent 10 skill points to upgrade Xinbao.

Now, the distance that Xinbao can secretly connect to the network is no longer limited to 100 meters, but has been extended to 100 li (approximately 50 kilometers).

During casual chats on the 5th Division's local area network, most of the discussions revolved around the outstanding performance of the students from the Command Academy. It was said that they had once defeated an Imperial Major's guard, which was quite an impressive feat.

Of course, Lin Xiaohe, far from the front lines, and her pink Beetle mecha always appeared in the chat channel as a foil.

Lin Xiaohe didn't like listening to gossip about herself; she preferred to infiltrate the Empire's intranet and listen to their gossip.

"Haha, those idiots in the Federation are still gloating, thinking that capturing Kashgar is a remarkable achievement, and they even invited military reporters to come and interview them."

"I heard that one of the military reporters in this group is the son of the commander of the Sixth Star Ring Military Region."

"That's right, it's that naive and innocent young master."

"My goodness, how could the love-struck commander of the Sixth Star Ring Military Region actually send his only son to the front lines?"

Lin Xiaohe stopped what she was doing and pricked up her ears.

What does that mean? Is the military region commander a love-struck fool?

Ugh! My darn curiosity is acting up again.

But those imperial guys didn't continue on that point, which was infuriating.

“Of course, the bald man would never agree to his son going to the front lines. This time, it was his son who made the decision on his own.”

"Is this naive young master looking down on our empire and trying to boost his battle record?"

"How could he have the guts? He's in an online relationship with a woman and wants to meet her in person on Miluo Star."

Lin Xiaohe's mouth gaped open. Can a gene like "love-obsessed" be inherited?

Lin Xiaohe perked up immediately and urged him silently, "Speak up, say more!"
Just as I was getting to the crucial part, the internet went down!
O sin.

Lin Xiaohe was filled with regret and switched the channel back to the 5th Division Regional Network.

"Wan Tianming: I guarantee the mission will be completed and the military press corps will be successfully received."

Darcy: We trust you all.

Lin Xiaohe chuckled. The naive and innocent young master was coming to their 5th Division, making it even more convenient for her to listen to gossip.

Less than five minutes later, the 5th Division's regional network crashed.

[Urgent Notice: A group of military journalists has been abducted by a group of unidentified individuals. All officers of battalion level and above, immediately proceed to the conference room.]

Wow!

Lin Xiaohe's heart was itching with anxiety, like a badger that couldn't get a melon, so anxious that it was jumping up and down.

"Xinbao, keep a close eye on the nearby networks."

Xinbao: [All networks?]

Yes, all of them!

Due to the limited distance of the network connection, accessing any local area network other than the Fifth Division's local area network is entirely a matter of luck.

In order to get more melons, Lin Xiaohe had no choice but to work hard for Xinbao.

The 5th Division acted swiftly, dispatching not only Wan Tianming's team but also Darcy's special reconnaissance battalion.

Within a 30-kilometer radius of the location where the military journalists disappeared, space control was implemented, all aircraft were to be cancelled, and any that disobeyed would be shot down immediately.

This is to prevent thieves from flying directly into outer space.

At the same time, communication control was implemented within a 50-kilometer radius, all communication facilities were shut down, and the military activated jamming equipment.

This was to cut off the bandits' connection with reinforcements, trapping them like turtles in a jar. Simultaneously with the order, the entire reconnaissance battalion was mobilized, forming a fan shape to conduct reconnaissance outwards.

The guard battalions of various units along the route were asked to assist in the reconnaissance.

The event was particularly grand because no one was sure what the military district chief would do if the naive young master fell into the hands of the empire.

A day later, the 5th Division still couldn't find any trace of the military journalists' group and had to report to the Miluo Star Command.

The command was furious. The battle on the front lines was raging, yet such a blunder could still occur. It was a slap in the face to the Federation!
The command ordered that the military press corps must be located within two days and rescued within five days.

Because in five days, the Federation will launch a large-scale attack on the Empire's occupied territories, the 5th Division needs to push the front line forward.

At the 5th Division headquarters, every soldier was mobilized.

First, the battalion-level officers held a meeting, and half an hour later, the battalion headquarters meeting was expanded to include platoon-level officers.

However, none of this had anything to do with Lin Xiaohe, who was guarding the observation post.

Darcy completely forgot about Lin Xiaohe's existence and didn't give her any tasks.

Lin Xiaohe opened a tube of nutrient solution; it was plain, and the taste was as terrible as ever.

Xinbao excitedly said, "Xiaohe, I've connected to a small local area network!"

"Listen."

Perhaps because of the distance, the sound was intermittent.

"That pretty boy is so easy to fool. He was completely fooled by Li Lisha. When we caught him, he was still begging us not to hurt Li Lisha."

"Didn't we tell you to keep the channel silent? The Fifth Division is acting like madmen, they'd love to plow the land three feet deep and catch us."

"What's there to be afraid of? This place is the middle of nowhere, there's not even a sentry post. Who can monitor our communications? Besides, once we fly over the Black Sea desert, we'll reach the Empire's controlled territory. This job will be done!"

Squeak...rustle...

The communication seemed to be jammed, and Lin Xiaohe could no longer hear what they were saying.

Lin Xiaohe's eyes sparkled; she was sitting at home, and credit came her way!
Judging from the conversation of that group of people, they should be the ones who kidnapped the military journalists.

Without saying a word, Lin Xiaohe sent the network location to Darcy: "The target just passed through here."

Darcy: "...Military cadet Lin Xiaohe, I understand your desire to earn merit. But honesty is a fine virtue of a soldier."

Lin Xiaohe: "I swear on my integrity that this news is true."

Darcy: "Deception is a strategy. If you insist on your version of events, then tell me, how did you know that it was so far from your post?"

Lin Xiaohe was embarrassed. In her eagerness to make a contribution, she had forgotten that she needed to explain this point: "Because my mecha is stronger?"

Darcy sighed. He really didn't like taking care of children, especially those who had no idea of ​​their own abilities.

“Listen, Lin Xiaohe, I don’t want to waste time. Wan Tianming’s side has detected unusual activity and needs our support. If you stick to what you just said, I can grant you permission to act freely.”

Darcy curled his lips into a mocking smile: "Compared to discovering the enemy's whereabouts, capturing the enemy and rescuing the military press corps is definitely a greater achievement. Good luck."

The call was abruptly cut off, leaving Lin Xiaohe in a dilemma.

On or off?
Although Darcy was being sarcastic, it sounded quite reasonable. He wasn't actually serving in the army, but rather participating in a special recruitment exam.

How can I pass the assessment without making contributions?!
Lin Xiaohe wiped her face, took Xinbao, and drove the pink Beetle towards their target.

Thank you for your support and donations, everyone.

The official cover is out, but I haven't changed it yet. So lazy, haha.
