Chapter 108: Chapter 107: Complaining About You Again

Fei Wenxing moved the light brain away from himself and only after Cheng Yao finished ranting did he continue blithely, "There’s no need, I just specifically came to tell you that Sister Tong is also participating in the midterm exams."

"Is that it?" Cheng Yao had a headache, "Could you not just tell me tomorrow morning, would it kill you?"

"It won’t kill me, but it would affect my drama binge-watching," Fei Wenxing answered seriously.

Cheng Yao: "..."

In his past life, he must have committed numerous misdeeds to deserve such a lousy friend in this life.

"Let’s both invite Sister Tong tomorrow," Fei Wenxing added.

"Alright, alright, I got it, now scram, hang up, or I’ll end our friendship," Cheng Yao hung up the phone impatiently.

Mumbling to himself, Fei Wenxing stayed up late to continue watching dramas, his eyes shining brightly against the dark night.

On the other side,

Qu Tong had just gotten enough sleep to start checking the school notifications dispatched uniformly.

The military training and midterm exams for first-year students were combined, heading directly to the Star Beast Zone, and they had two weeks to prepare.

Each year, the midterm exams of several major military schools were held simultaneously, and the results were exceedingly important, accounting for 70% of the total grade.

This meant that if one achieved top ranks in the league, one could be promoted to the second year without even needing to take the final written test.

Another point was that the points earned from killing Star Beasts during the league could be used at school, offering students the only chance to earn a large number of points.

The competition was mainly carried out in team formation, with each team consisting of 5-10 members. You could form teams freely, and those who hadn’t picked their teammates by the start of the match would be randomly matched by the school.

All students, including those from the Planting and Pharmaceutical Departments, were required to participate, though their grade requirements were not as high as the other departments.

Qu Tong had heard from Xu An about the past competitions; the Mecha Single Soldier Department usually had the most students and faced the fiercest competition, while the other three departments were more laid-back.

The main force of most teams consisted of students from the Mecha Single Soldier Department, but a few teams would include members from the other three departments.

The school had issued tasks to collect energy plants and medicinal materials mainly to involve students from other departments in the competition.

The next morning,

Xu An came to find Qu Tong to discuss forming a team.

"Why don’t we find two more from other departments and form our own team?" Xu An suggested.

Both he and his sister had low physiques, making it hard to join strong teams. It was a reluctant but the best choice.

He hadn’t held much hope and hadn’t thought about competing with others; just achieving a middle-grade score and doing well in the final exams would still give them a chance to advance.

"I have no objections," Qu Tong was fine either way.

After all, she was just a little F-rank, with no room to be picky.

Compared to random matching, she preferred to be in the same team as Xu An.

"He Zhou and I will join, and I’ll find the other two."

"Okay," Qu Tong agreed with everything Xu An said.

Another important matter was to equip the mecha.

After the last hot sale, the Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop’s account already had over seven million Star Coins, enough for Xu An to pick a good performing B-rank mecha.

Xu An originally wanted to refuse.

But Qu Tong argued righteously, "You’re so weak; if you don’t equip a good mecha, do you want me to spend the whole time running for our lives?"

Xu An wanted to retort but couldn’t find any grounds, so he just followed Qu Tong to the largest Mecha Mall on Capital Star.

As soon as Qu Tong walked in, she heard a familiar voice.

Fei Wenxing raised his voice and shouted, "Call your manager, I want to make a complaint!"

Qu Tong wasn’t in any rush and pulled Xu An over.

Getting closer and looking, she laughed; wasn’t this the guy from the black market counter?

"What happened?" Qu Tong asked curiously.

Fei Wenxing was fussily shouting, "I wanted to look at this mecha, and he actually told me not to bother because I couldn’t pilot it anyway."

Qu Tong looked in the direction Fei Wenxing was pointing and nodded in agreement, "He’s right though."

Because that was an S-rank mecha.

Fei Wenxing argued, "Still, he shouldn’t say it like that, doesn’t he know the customer is king?"

"You already have a mecha, right?"

Fei Wenxing sheepishly chuckled, "I just thought this mecha looked nice."

Qu Tong: "..."

Just as Qu Tong was at a loss for words, she heard someone behind her shout, "Move aside! Move aside!"

Turning around, she saw Cheng Yao flying over on a disc-shaped object; Qu Tong reflexively pulled Xu An to the side.

Fei Wenxing, standing behind, was blocked from view, and by the time he noticed, he only managed to shout "Damn it" before being knocked over by Cheng Yao.

Fei Wenxing rubbed his sore butt and glared resentfully at Cheng Yao, "I might look tough and carefree, but getting hit by a vehicle could still kill me, couldn’t you watch where you’re going?"

"Accident, accident, got too rushed and forgot," Cheng Yao awkwardly got up from the ground.

"What is this thing?" Xu An pointed at the overturned small tentacled machine still moving on the ground, curious.

"A toy that came with the mecha," Cheng Yao casually explained.

"That’s a hovering display stand for the mecha, not a toy, and I’ve told you this thing can’t be used as a hover car," the counter guy suddenly interjected.

"I bought it, I’ll use it however I want, keep nagging and I’ll complain about you," Cheng Yao arrogantly said.

Counter guy: "..."

Suddenly, Qu Tong felt that compared to these two idiots, she had been far too polite before.

Although neither of them ended up complaining about the counter guy, Qu Tong clearly saw the grievance in his eyes.

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao also helped Xu An choose a suitable mecha before they all left the mall together.

On the way back, Fei Wenxing mentioned that he wanted to invite Qu Tong to join their team.

Qu Tong politely declined, "I’ve decided to team up with my brother; you guys form your own team."

"Ah? You’ve already formed a team that fast?" Fei Wenxing was surprised by Qu Tong’s refusal.

Cheng Yao suddenly remembered what his brother had said and asked, "Is your team full? Do you mind if two more join?"

"I don’t mind at all, as long as you two don’t disdain our team being trash," Qu Tong said with a straightforward smile.

"How could we? Are we that kind of people?" Cheng Yao patted his chest in assurance.

"Don’t worry, if anyone dares to call you trash with me around, I’ll make them pick their teeth up off the floor," Fei Wenxing also expressed his stance.

Only when they found out Qu Tong’s team had only two B-ranks and one F-rank, and adding them would just make it a full team of five, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao remained silent.

"Do we really not need to find two more powerful members for our team?" Cheng Yao asked uncertainly.

"Can you find any? I don’t mind," Qu Tong glanced casually at the two men, quite nonchalant.

She believed Xu An and his roommate wouldn’t mind either.

Despite their concerns, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao, true to their word, didn’t go back on what they said and confirmed they would join their team.
