Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 617 - 356: Welcoming the Guest (5 in 1)

"This military merit report form is written by that esteemed individual; it should be completely accurate and genuine!"

Rogde said with a grave expression.

"So how do we deduct points? Just let it pass directly?"

Bu Yin and others asked, feeling troubled.

Rogde’s expression changed, and then he spoke.

"No way, when has our department ever been so lenient? It’s always about extracting some benefits!"

"How do you plan to deduct it?"

Bu Yin and the others asked.

"Watch me!"

Rogde picked up the pen and slashed a deduction of 3000 points from the first battle report, then another slash of 5000 points from the second battle report.

Then he looked at the last 1000 points and said.

"This one...."

"Should we deduct a bit, just for formality?"

Kalocci instinctively asked.

"Deduct my ass, not a single point can be deducted."

Rogde glared and cursed irritably.

"Why?"

Karloin was dumbfounded.

"The third batch of military merits is approved by the Council. If we dare to deduct, we’ll be called for a ’chat’ the next day!"

Rogde cursed irritably.

"Understood, senior."

Kalocci replied, trembling.

"Today is really something out of the ordinary...."

Rogde looked at the report form, headache evident.

...

Outside the review room.

Shu’en and others anxiously waited for the review results, constantly glancing at the tightly closed door.

"Why isn’t it done yet?"

"Why is this review taking so long?"

"Could something unexpected have happened?"

...

Curia discussed nervously.

Su Ming also felt uneasy.

At this moment, the door to the review room opened, and a staff member came out holding a stack of report forms and called out. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Major Zhao Shen!"

"Here!"

A burly man walked up excitedly.

Su Ming and the others watched, but unfortunately, none of their names were called among the dozen names shouted by the staff member.

However, when Zhao Shen and the others picked up their report forms, their faces turned extremely grim and they started cursing.

"Damn, I reported 300 points of merit, and they cut 250 points, leaving only 50 points. This is too much!"

"What about you? I reported 100 points of merit, and only have 10 points left!"

....

Su Ming and the others heard this, looked at each other, feeling even more anxious.

Time passed slowly, and soon the door to the review room opened again, a staff member came out holding another stack of report forms and called out.

"Hejassi, Curia...."

Su Ming and the others immediately got up and walked over.

"Here!"

Quickly, they received their respective applications.

Hejassi nervously opened his application form and looked at the deduction section, seeing the final review result clearly stating a deduction of 110 points.

"Great, only 110 points deducted!"

Hejassi shouted excitedly upon seeing the result.

Su Ming heard Hejassi and asked.

"How many merit points did you report in total?"

"900 points for two battles, 200 points awarded by the Council, only a ten percent deduction! This is the least I’ve ever been deducted in my life."

Hejassi couldn’t contain his joy.

At this moment, Chen Ying and others also curiously asked Kaff.

"Kaff, how many points were deducted for you?"

"Not much, I reported 3100 merit points, only 150 points deducted."

Kaff was quite satisfied with the result.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming’s heart sank. He reported 9000 merit points, he anticipated at least a few hundred points to be deducted.

At this moment, Shu’en, Curia and others asked Su Ming.

"Su Ming, how many points were deducted for you?"

"I haven’t looked yet."

Su Ming replied with a bitter smile.

"Quick, check it. I remember you reported 9000 merit points!"

Curia said with a smile.

"Yes, check it quickly!"

Hejassi and others surrounded him, urging Su Ming to check quickly.

"Alright!"

Su Ming then opened his application form, seeing two deductions clearly marked, one 5 points, and one 10 points.

"Damn, only 15 points deducted? That’s so few!"

"Impressive, Su Ming!"

"This must be the least deduction in history, right?"

...

Hejassi and others looked at Su Ming with envy.

At this moment, Kaff suddenly asked.

"Su Ming, how many merit points do you originally have, is it enough to be promoted to Major General?"

"Yes, you are a major, so you must have more than 1000 merit points!"

Shu’en and others immediately realized and asked.

Su Ming calculated and said with a bitter smile.

"I total have 1012 merit points, adding 8985 points now totaling 9997 merit points!"

"Damn, just 3 points short. Those review guys must be deliberately messing with us, right?"

Hejassi replied indignantly after hearing Su Ming.

"Exactly, that’s too much!"

Curia and others followed up with their complaints.

At this moment, Kaff pondered for a while then said.

"I don’t think it’s intentional, the review staff can’t see how many merit points you originally have, nor how many points you’re short for promotion, it should be a coincidence."

"I agree, after all, the deduction is indeed quite small."

Su Ming replied in support.

"Oh~ such a pity, just 3 points short of 10000! Otherwise, you could be promoted to Major General."

Ye Hai said regretfully.

At this moment, Shu’en coughed and said.

"Actually, it’s nothing. Su Ming’s promotion to Major General is certain. He still has the Heart of Sky Base campaign unreported. Once the Legion Commander returns, he can easily report it and ensure the promotion."

"That’s right, Su Ming’s promotion to Major General is guaranteed!"

Hejassi and others reacted accordingly.

At this moment, Curia also said to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, if you’re in a hurry, you can report the third campaign’s merits to Vickers Major General first, they can deduct some; it will definitely be enough!"

"No, that would be too much of a loss! I’ll wait for the Legion Commander to return."
