Chapter 116: Chapter 115: League 1, Two Captains

Amidst a burst of screams, Cheng Feng, clad in a neatly pressed military uniform, ascended the stage.

Cheng Feng was also dazzling, and a mere blink from him sent a group of young girls into a cheering frenzy.

Cheng Feng’s speech was powerful as well. It was neither draggy nor complicated, smartly concise, and hit all the key points, much better than Zhu Jidan’s speech.

Those who listened here would gather on the competition planet and listen to it once again with several other military academies.

From this moment on, the situation of the various military academies was already being broadcast live on the entire network.

The information for team formation had been submitted long ago, and leading their team was Xu An’s mentor Han Song, alongside nine other teams.

All were people Qu Tong didn’t really know.

Under the arrangement of the mentors, everyone signed indemnity agreements before boarding the spaceships, one by one.

Every year there would be casualties in the competition, which was inevitable and tacitly accepted by all; what the mentors and coaches could do was to minimize these casualties.

Early in the morning, even before she got out of bed, Qu Tong had already received a message from Wen You. Their group had gone to the competition planet in advance to scout and make arrangements.

"Dear passengers, welcome aboard the B2458 hyperdrive spaceship. Our destination this time is Star Beast Zone 955 of the Canaan Empire. The estimated travel time is 2 days and 9 hours..."

Familiar broadcast sounds began to play, and more than twenty spaceships left Capital Star, meeting with the other four military academies on the competition planet.

On the spaceship, Rong Yueqing sat next to Qu Tong, and very cautiously took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from her Space Button, within which was a high-quality green date.

"Prince Consort Sister, this is for you," Rong Yueqing said expectantly, looking at Qu Tong.

This was an Energy Fruit she had managed to buy with great difficulty from a shop under the Agricultural Science Institute.

Qu Tong took out the green date, which still had the Agricultural Science Institute’s label on it.

Qu Tong tore off the label and took a bite.

"How is it? Sweet?" Rong Yueqing asked.

Qu Tong chewed a couple of times. She really couldn’t taste any sweetness, though there was no bitterness either.

Glancing at Rong Yueqing’s gleaming peach blossom-like eyes, Qu Tong replied, "Quenching."

Rong Yueqing was taken aback. What did that mean?

At this moment, Fei Wenxing leaned over from the front, "Tong sister, what are you eating?"

Rong Yueqing quickly took out the remaining Energy Fruits from her space and handed them over, very generously saying, "Here, I bought these at the Agricultural Science Institute, but I managed to get only eight, just enough for one each."

With one extra, Rong Yueqing gave it to Qu Tong.

After taking a bite, Rong Yueqing realized why Qu Tong said it was quenching.

How to put it—neither sour nor very sweet, it had a faint astringent taste, but it was crunchy, and the juice was quite plentiful.

Rong Yueqing’s face turned slightly red. She looked at Qu Tong somewhat embarrassedly.

Then she saw Qu Tong eat the green date with an unchanged expression, and afterward, she put the pit into her space.

Qu Tong smiled warmly at her and handed her a box of grapes.

"Gifts should reciprocate."

She then took out two larger boxes for Cheng Yao and Xu An to share, while Song Ke got a small box just like herself.

"Thanks, I knew it. There’s always good food when I’m with you," Song Ke said with a smile.

"These grapes look delicious just by sight, Tong sister, will they be available in your shop later?" Fei Wenxing asked with stars in her eyes.

"I grow these myself in my yard. They haven’t been commercialized yet; it’s tough to grow them, so even if they appear in the shop, it will only be in small quantities," Qu Tong explained.

"Tong sister, as your super VVIP, do I have priority purchasing rights?" Cheng Yao looked eagerly at Qu Tong.

Qu Tong just smiled without speaking, and Cheng Yao and Fei Wenxing went on to cozy up to Xu An, making him quite restless.

Others around watched this commotion, feeling envious, and could only reconcile their feelings of unfairness by telling themselves that their team was less capable.

Some people tried to cozy up to them but were promptly glared away by both Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao.

Cheng Feng was idly scrolling through his tablet in first-class when he glanced at the monitor next to him and suddenly perked up.

Choosing to take his sister-in-law’s spaceship was indeed a wise decision.

He got up and headed outside.

Qu Tong’s forehead twitched as she noticed Cheng Feng coming her way, amidst the watchful eyes of everyone around.

She hurriedly handed over a box of grapes before he could speak, gesturing with her eyes not to talk.

Cheng Feng bared his teeth in a grin at Qu Tong, gave a knowing look, and then headed back to his seat.

The first thing he did upon returning was to snap a photo and post it in the challenge group chat and to Wen You, playfully adding the caption, "Sigh, sitting on the same spaceship as my sister-in-law and even got a treat from her~"

Soon enough, Qu Tong received a barrage of howling messages from both Wen You and Xiong Lie.

She was speechless at Cheng Feng’s leaky mouth...

Meanwhile, Cheng Feng, the cause of Qu Tong’s gritted teeth, was enjoying his snack under the intense gaze of Zhu Jidan and Han Song.

"You know, Little Cheng, with grapes as big as these, don’t you find them hard to swallow?" Zhu Jidan asked with deep concern.

Han Song, being more reserved, simply nodded in agreement.

"Not at all! These grapes are so delicious! Look at them; you probably wouldn’t find one like this in your whole Agricultural Department," Cheng Feng said as if he misunderstood.

"Haha!" Zhu Jidan choked, glaring irritably at Cheng Feng, who was feigning innocence, before turning his head to cool off his annoyance.

No sooner had he turned away than he heard Cheng Feng say to Han Song, "Instructor Han, come, come, come, try it and see if it’s good. Such good stuff is one less with every bite."

Zhu Jidan whipped around, staring at Cheng Feng: "You little rascal, as exasperating as ever."

Cheng Feng decided not to tease the stubborn old man any longer, pushed the grapes over to him, and didn’t forget to add, "Director Zhu, you should try some too, these are grown by our Admiral’s wife herself, the student from the Pharmaceutical Department named Qu Tong."

Zhu Jidan seemed to recall the name faintly.

But thinking it was just mentioned by some other teacher, he vaguely nodded and popped several grapes into his mouth.

After more than two days of travel, the spaceship finally arrived at Star Beast Zone 955, a planet twice the size of Luyi Star, with vegetation covering 80% of its surface.

The spaceship docked at the pre-built teaching base.

A big group of students looked around in wonder, following their instructors to the plaza to assemble.

A sea of heads could be seen at a glance, and it was estimated that there were about ten thousand people present, including the students and teachers from the five military academies.

Besides the First Army Corps, staff from the other four military academies were also in charge of supervising the examinations.

The person in charge of this military competition was still Principal Wei, and the principals of the other academies had also taken up important positions.

However, this time two corps commanders had arrived: Si Yuting from the First Army Corps and Feng Lin from the Sixth Army Corps.

When these two pieces of news broke, both the students below and the netizens on StarNet became excited.

The live stream on StarNet heated up even more, and viewers flooded the chat with messages.

[It’s rare to see even one corps commander at the military competition, and this time there are two!]

[The most important thing is, they are both handsome and strong commanders of the military.]

[Prince Yuting will always be the military’s standard bearer for both power and looks!]

[Actually, the commander of the Sixth Army Corps is also very impressive and handsome, okay.]

[This year’s students are really lucky.]

[Got to perform well, looking forward to the military competition.]

[There are many strong competitors this time; it’s definitely going to be very interesting, can’t wait!]
