Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 112 - 39: Major Sun’s Sudden Inspiration
Through the transparent square roof, hundreds of mechas could be seen flying overhead, exciting the students.
"So cool."
"Doesn’t that leading blue mecha look like Admiral Bai’s?"
"If only I could take it for a test drive."
"Soon, I’ll have my own mecha."
The Military Department provides basic model mechas. When students applied to the school earlier, they filled out forms, specifying their mecha requirements, such as desired weapons and framework preferences. The Military Department can assemble it all.
Except expensive materials can’t be used, and the mechas can’t be taken away.
No other issues, truly a case of being rich and willful.
Equipping each student with a mecha is no small expense.
Major Sun ordered them to wait here, as soldiers would come to take over.
The military square is extremely large, and the thousands of students only occupied a corner of it. With thousands of people talking at once, the echo wasn’t loud, but the buzzing was a bit annoying.
After half an hour, people were getting impatient. The receptionist’s calm face, along with his frequent checking of the time, betrayed his anxious mood.
Major Sun asked the receptionist why no one had arrived yet. He was a soldier from the Capital Star and couldn’t stay here this time.
The principal had entrusted the students to him, and he must arrange for each student to be settled before he could leave.
The fact that no one had come yet made him doubt the sincerity of the other party. If this was how they treated the students, he’d rather take them back.
Just as Major Sun was about to start scolding, a stern-looking colonel, with four to five hundred soldiers in tow, marched over.
He saluted Major Sun, "Sorry for being late."
Major Sun noticed his forehead was covered in sweat, and there were red marks on his face from wearing safety gear for too long.
Urgency overrides protocol; it was understood that something had probably delayed them.
Major Sun’s anger dissipated instantly. In fact, they hadn’t set a specific time, so technically, the other party wasn’t late.
Major Sun saluted, reporting that he had brought a total of three thousand two hundred students.
The colonel nodded and had the soldiers behind him move among the students, each leading a small team.
The soldiers quickly assembled their teams in order and moved to the other side of the square. However, a problem arose.
The number of team-leading soldiers was insufficient.
Five hundred soldiers were used up, but there was still one team left unassigned.
It was easy to guess that Wu Qingqing and her group were the ones left over.
Major Sun: ???
He looked inquiringly at the people next to Colonel Bai, "Are you out of people?"
"Yes, can you distribute the remaining students into other groups over here?" Colonel Bai seemed to have some difficulty explaining, whispering, "It’s like this, we had people go missing during a mission, so we’re short-handed. I was just gathering as many people as I could to lead the teams and this is all I could muster. Can you redistribute them on your side?"
"I’d love to rearrange them, you know? These remaining kids, they’re the ones cobbled together." Major Sun honestly explained, briefly recounting the incident on the battleship.
This group of supposedly pure-hearted, enthusiastic students kept scheming and forming cliques, excluding others, behaving worse than elementary school kids.
Colonel Bai looked complicated, "It’s not easy for you."
Major Sun: "It’s about to be not easy for you."
Such a blunt curse!
"It’s alright, I can handle the new recruits every year, so a few students are nothing. I’m sure my officers won’t disappoint you." Colonel Bai declared righteously, hands behind his back. After all, it’s not him who has to teach them. No matter how troublesome, it wouldn’t be his headache.
Wu Qingqing and her group felt at a loss, waiting for the outcome.
"Please don’t split us up again; I don’t want to go back to the original team, how awkward would that be," Hu Ping whispered.
He was the first to abandon his previous teammates. When switching teams, Hu Ping saw the "grievance light" in Pan Mingjie’s eyes.
Wu Qingqing: "No way, with millions of soldiers, they can’t find another person to lead a team?"
"Finding someone with a comparable rank might be a stretch," Liu Xun observed carefully, analyzing logically, "See those soldiers, their insignias are mostly the same, either lieutenants or captains. Only those with strong personal abilities can manage us fragile ones."
Colonel Bai expressed his helplessness, explaining that soldiers can’t be moved around arbitrarily. They were originally well-staffed, but who could have expected an accident, causing hundreds to go missing, including more than twenty captains.
These details couldn’t be disclosed to Major Sun.
The discussion had lasted nearly ten minutes, and Wu Qingqing and the others were still unassigned.
Xue Huiyi’s teammates couldn’t help but laugh quietly.
"Chaos like this is bound to fail and break apart."
"Ji Heng couldn’t manage the five of them, that’s amusing."
"Their whole team is a joke."
