Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 616 - 355: Awarding Honors (5-in-1)_6

"Kaff, Su Ming...."

Su Ming and the others were also stunned, speechless.

"So fast?"

This document was just sent in, and it’s approved already?

"Let’s go, quickly!"

Shu’en said to everyone.

Su Ming and the others quickly got up and walked over, each grabbing their own report document, anxiously skimming through the annotations.

"Wow, not a single point deducted, it’s approved directly!"

Curia exclaimed excitedly.

"Amazing! I didn’t get deducted either, the Legion Commander is really something!"

Aragon and the others responded joyfully.

Although under normal circumstances the Military Department should not be giving them a hard time this time, they didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.

Looking at his 9000 points report, with not a single point deducted, Su Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though this was only half the battle, at least it was a good start.

"Let’s go, let’s head upstairs!"

Kaff said to everyone, highly excited.

"Alright!"

Su Ming and the others left with their documents.

Not long after, they arrived at the third-floor hall of the Council Tower. The layout here was almost identical to that of the Military Department, but the only difference was that there were a lot more officers waiting here!

Moreover, everyone had a very uneasy expression on their faces.

In fact, between the two review departments, the Council’s side was the hardest to get through. The Military Department’s side, at least, would show some leniency since they were part of the same system.

But the Council’s review team, it wasn’t that easy here.

"Damn it, I get so nervous every time I come to this place."

Hejassi said very tensely.

"Don’t be nervous, everything will be fine!"

Su Ming said with a smile to comfort Hejassi.

"I don’t want to be nervous either, but every time I come to submit a report, they cut it so much my mom wouldn’t recognize it. It’s like these reviewers have a personal grudge against me."

Hejassi was extremely frustrated.

Shu’en patted Hejassi on the shoulder and sighed.

"Just give it a try, maybe they won’t deduct so much this time."

Actually, Shu’en knew very well that the reason Hejassi got his points deducted so badly was that he had offended Jimmy.

"I understand."

Hejassi sighed.

Su Ming and the others then stepped forward to hand their submitted documents one by one to the staff standing at the entrance.

...

Inside the spacious and minimalistic review room.

Several personnel, wearing blue work uniforms and faceless metal masks, were sitting around an oval review table, quickly reviewing the submitted military merit application forms.

At this moment, a slightly graying man, also wearing a faceless metal mask, walked to the review table with a tall, slender young man with fair skin and short black hair.

He spoke to an elderly man with white hair, wrinkled and loose skin, wearing a faceless metal mask.

"Rodger, this is the new guy, Kalocci; I’ll leave him to you."

"A newbie? Bu Yin, what’s his background?"

Rodger stopped, scrutinizing Kalocci.

"Hehe, being so young and joining our department, what do you think his background is?"

Bu Yin replied with a smile.

"Very well, then you follow me."

Rodger said to Kalocci.

"Thank you, senior!"

Kalocci replied nervously.

"Stand aside and watch carefully how I review these military merit application forms."

Rodger instructed Kalocci.

"Understood."

Kalocci respectfully stood by Rodger’s side, watching.

Rodger picked up a form and began to speak to Kalocci.

"See this application form?"

"I see it."

"First, look at who the main applicant is."

"Yes!"

Kalocci carefully read the form; the main applicant was Di Qiu, a Major General from the Eleventh Legion.

"Good, remember this name. First, cut the reported merit by half!"

Rodger said decisively.

"What? But we haven’t even looked at the details, who the merit is reported for, or what major achievements were made. Is it appropriate to cut it directly by half?"

Kalocci was dumbfounded.

"What’s not appropriate? This Di Qiu is a glory seeker, always exaggerating his reports. Cutting it by half is fair."

"Uh, alright then!"

"Next, we review the content of the reported merits. If it’s not something like beheading enemies, rescuing hostages, or destroying strategic targets, cut everything!"

"Um, it says here he captured an enemy spy and is applying for 100 merit points. How should we handle that?"

"In these times, they think catching a spy is worth so much merit? Do they think merits are cabbages? 10 points!"

Rodger wrote it down with his pen.

Kalocci watched Rodger’s operation, feeling his head buzzing.

"Do you understand how to review now?"

"I think I get it a bit."

"Try it yourself!"

Rodger got up and walked to the side, taking a sip from his tea cup.

Kalocci nervously sat down, picked up the second application form, and looked at it carefully. Then he said to Rodger.

"The main applicant for this form is Wake, also a Major General. Shall I cut it by half too?"

"No, no, this guy Wake is a total fake. He exaggerates everything. Cut it twice, half it again, and then review the merits content."

Rodger replied shaking his head.

"Senior, is this really okay?"

Kalocci swallowed hard and asked.

"What’s the problem? The positions up there are limited. They can’t just report all the merits they want."

Rodger said, educating Kalocci.

Kalocci took a deep breath, then picked up another application form, which happened to be Su Ming’s.

"The main applicant is from the Thirteenth Legion. I don’t recognize it. Should I cut it in half too?"

Kalocci asked instinctively.

"Stop, don’t cut! This is from the Thirteenth Legion?"

Rodger was startled, quickly shouting.

"Yes, senior, what’s wrong?"

Kalocci asked curiously.

Rodger didn’t reply to Kalocci, but asked.

"Who’s the applicant?"

"The applicant is the Thirteenth Legion Commander, Zero. There’s only a code, no name."

Kalocci said puzzled.

"Don’t cut, never randomly cut! This is really bizarre, when did the Thirteenth Legion return?"

Rodger said with a dark face.

"It seems they returned last night. You didn’t know?"

At this point, another colleague chimed in.

"I didn’t know. I haven’t stepped out since last night. Forget it, not talking about that—Kalocci, check the reported merit points."

Rodger sighed.

"Oh my god, this application is for 9000 merit points!"

Kalocci said, shocked.

"9000 points? Are you sure you read that right?"

Rodger was equally stunned.

"What did you say, 9000 points?"

"For whom is this reported?"

"What achievement did they make?"

...

At this point, Bu Yin and others all stopped their work to gather around, asking in shock.

"Let me see!"

Rodger took the document and closely examined it.

The more he read, the more alarmed he became, exclaiming.

"Oh my god, this guy named Su Ming killed two Major Generals of the Imperial Army and captured a Quasi-General...."

"This is unbelievable, all of them are major victories and strategic destructions."

Bu Yin and others were also dumbfounded.
