Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr As the centre of the Federation, Doha's interstellar spaceport was also the largest and most luxurious of all the planets of the Federation. The spaceport was built in the outer space of the planet, and the space inside was about the size of a city on the planet. The staff of the spaceport all lived in the spaceport city, so other than the slight difference in gravity from the planet, everything else was the same.
Connecting the spaceport to the surface was a special rocket car train, and the centre of the spaceport was a special platform. It accepted special rocket cars from various cities on the surface. It could be said that the most prosperous, lively, and crowded part of the spaceport was here. Even on normal days, it would still receive several million people every day.
And today was the busiest day in the spaceport, because today was the day for the annual registration of the military academies and the various famous schools. Thus, all the students who were registering today, along with their parents, had rushed to the spaceport, filling the entire space with a cacophony of voices and sentiments.
As the centre planet of the Federation, Doha's spaceport was extremely large, with tens of thousands of navigation racks for interstellar spaceships to dock. The exclusive spaceships of the various military academies and other famous schools to pick up their students were already docked at the various spaceports, waiting for the students to present their admission notices and enter.
Of course, these spaceships would definitely not dock at the three zones XYZ, because those three zones were considered important military zones. Only combat warships could dock at those zones, and normal spaceships were restricted from entering.
Meanwhile, at this time, in a corner of the special platform hall, several youths were gathered together. One of the youths was squatting on the ground, a large bun in each hand, and a ham sausage in his mouth, wolfing it down as if no one else was around. His lack of concern for his image caused the youths and their parents passing by to frown involuntarily.
"Xie Yi, can you at least maintain some semblance of image?" Among the group of people standing, a young man who looked like a virgin could not help but frown at the sight.
"Luo Lang, I'm hungry..." Xie Yi managed to find a gap in his food, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. This group of people was none other than Zilong's team, who had agreed to register together.
"Could it be that when you came out, you didn't eat breakfast?" Luo Lang looked at Xie Yi with dissatisfaction. It was almost ten o 'clock. When did this fellow wake up?
Xie Yi frantically took two big bites of the bun, and the bun in his hand disappeared just like that. He did not even chew much before swallowing it. However, this method of swallowing that prioritized speed over quality taught Xie Yi a lesson. His handsome and handsome Xie Yi actually choked on the bun …
Xie Yi pounded her chest furiously. On the other side, Lin Zhong-qing saw that something was wrong and quickly took out a bottle of water from his backpack. He opened the cap and passed it to Xie Yi.
Xie Yi picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth. He finally caught his breath and said, "Damn, that was too dangerous. I actually felt like I was going to choke to death!" After saying that, he patted his chest again in fear. He was secretly glad that he was lucky.
"Who told you to eat so fast? It's like you haven't eaten in your entire life." Luo Lang looked askance at Xie Yi, his face full of disdain.
Xie Yi muttered softly, "If I didn't want to answer your question, would I have eaten so fast?"
"What question?" Luo Lang was taken aback, and then he said in realisation, "You said you didn't eat breakfast?" Did that even need an answer? Just looking at the way he was wolfing down his food, it was obvious that he had not eaten breakfast.
"Hehe, it's all because I was too excited yesterday and slept late. Today, I overslept, so I didn't have time to eat breakfast …" Xie Yi was not ashamed at all, casually revealing the reason why he had not eaten breakfast.
"What are you so excited about? Isn't it just going to the First Men's Military Academy?" Luo Lang rolled his eyes exasperatedly, his face full of disdain.
Having even gone on an interstellar adventure, Luo Lang, who considered himself a mature man, was very calm about entering the First Men's Military Academy. Actually, Luo Lang was also very excited inside, just not as exaggerated as Xie Yi's. Of course, he would not admit this.
Xie Yi could not help but click his tongue at Luo Chao's disdain. "It's not like I'm excited because of that …" He raised his head to look at Zilong, unable to hide his excitement. "It's all because the leader said last night that Boss Lan would be coming here to send us off today … Alright, I'm really excited."
Ever since he had met Ling Lan on the assessment field two months ago, he had been searching for his answer. Finally, during the adventure, he felt that he had found his place. However, they had not had the chance to meet Ling Lan, so he had no way of telling Ling Lan the answer he had found.
Although during the adventure, Zilong and the others would often contact Ling Lan through virtual channels, at that time, Xie Yi had felt as if he had been chased out. Although Ling Lan would nod at him in greeting in the video, not giving him the cold shoulder, he just felt that whenever Ling Lan appeared, he would be inadvertently ignored by his companions …
What made him even more depressed was that there were several times when he wanted to tell Ling Lan his answer in the video, but once he met Ling Lan's cold face and those cold but sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through him, he would be unable to speak.
In this regard, Xie Yi could not help but admit that he always felt an indescribable sense of fear towards Ling Lan, making him not dare to act rashly. However, today's meeting was a good opportunity — he would not back down anymore. He would definitely tell Ling Lan what his answer was.
Xie Yi's words made Luo Lang's expression instantly turn serious. As long as it concerned Ling Lan, Luo Lang's attitude would definitely become serious. In his heart, Ling Lan was the only person of the same age that he trusted, a boss that he could not offend.
Yes, he was not convinced by Wu Jiong who was nominally the last seat, nor was he convinced by Li Yingjie who was competing with him for the third seat, nor was he convinced by Zilong who was the first seat and their team leader. However, he would not be convinced by Ling Lan, who had always been strong and unfathomable since he was young.
This was a silent respect and admiration that had been built up since he was young. As he grew older, this respect and admiration grew stronger, until it finally reached an inexplicable level. In other words, in this lifetime, Luo Lang would only submit to one person and only one boss, and that person would be Ling Lan.
"Xie Yi is right. When I received the team leader's message, I was completely dumbfounded. I almost thought I was hallucinating …" Lin Zhong-qing also said emotionally from the side.
In Lin Zhong-qing's impression, the cold and domineering Boss Lan would never send off someone so warmly. It was very likely that he would directly send over a video and coldly say, "If you're going, don't embarrass me!" Then, he would use all sorts of devilishly arrogant and domineering ways to leave them with an incomparably lofty back view, until he disappeared …
Thus, when Lin Zhong-qing heard this news, he was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea when he had ended the call with team leader Zilong. He ate his dinner in a daze, and then drifted off to his bed to miraculously fall asleep. It was only when he woke up the next day and bit down hard on his arm that he realised that he had not heard wrongly.
Right then, Zilong, who was standing to one side, could not help but say, "Don't talk about you. Even I was dumbfounded when I received Boss Lan's video call. My first thought was that I must be dreaming. The person on the other end was definitely not my boss …"
Han Jijun could not bear to listen any longer. He said sternly, "Alright, the truth is, Boss Lan is indeed coming over to send us off. You all better be more spirited. Don't make Boss unhappy."
Three years ago, because of Zilong's condition, the dissatisfied Boss Lan had directly given them a mission, causing them to suffer unspeakably. Han Jijun did not want to be given another three-year mission because of their poor condition. He would definitely break down.
Han Jijun's words made the others shudder involuntarily. Even Xie Yi, who had been walking around sloppily, changed his attitude and became spirited. That mission three years ago had indeed made them feel inferior, making them not dare to try it again so easily.
Seeing his companions become spirited, Han Jijun looked at the time on his wrist communicator with satisfaction. "It'll be 10 o 'clock in 3 minutes. Boss said that we'll meet at the lobby of platform 9 at 10 o' clock. I believe he should be arriving soon."
The others reflexively looked at their own communicators and found that Han Jijun was right. Their spirits were lifted and they began to wait eagerly. Everyone looked greedily at the crowd coming and going in the lobby of the platform, hoping that their boss would be among them …
Behind them, in a row of seats against the wall, a person who seemed to have fallen asleep suddenly sat up straight. He was half-lying on his back with a new magazine published by the Federation today covering his face.
That person was wearing an extremely simple white tunic with a thin army green windbreaker on the outside. He also had black trousers, a belt with a metal buckle, and a pair of black military boots on his feet. This outfit would definitely make people feel that he was handsome and spirited, but his aura was extremely calm, just like a normal pedestrian, making people involuntarily overlook him …
He slowly took off the magazine covering his face, revealing a cold and handsome face. He looked at the youths in front of him who were focused on finding their target, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curve up slightly. In an instant, the iciness was broken, and a faint warmth appeared on his body.
He stuffed the magazine in his hand into the backpack beside him, then threw the backpack behind him and slowly walked behind Zilong and the others. Because there was almost no sound of footsteps, Zilong and the others actually didn't notice that there was an extra person behind them.
"Something's not right!" Zilong suddenly sensed something and turned around abruptly. At this crucial moment, Zilong's innate talent, Animal Instinct, alerted him.
Zilong's abnormal movements alerted the others. They reflexively turned around, and Luo Lang immediately prepared to attack.
"Boss!" Zilong, who had turned around, suddenly exclaimed, "How did you get behind us?"
It should be known that from where they were standing, they could see all the people entering and exiting platform 9. It was impossible for anyone to pass through their line of sight and appear directly behind them. Could it be that Boss had the miraculous ability to teleport? Zilong couldn't help but irresponsibly guess.
