Chapter 219: Chapter 218: Planet A15 Follow-up

The Mecha Single Soldier Department’s hands-on test will have to be retaken next time; no one had anticipated this accident.

As for those who unfortunately lost their lives, the school and the Empire will provide an answer.

The students of the Mecha Single Soldier Department were all taken back to school by their instructors.

Qu Tong and some others disembarked at the stop and made their own way home.

Xu An looked back at Qu Tong when he was leaving, and Qu Tong responded with a faint smile.

After everyone left, Qu Tong strolled around outside, casually rented a house, changed his equipment, and then returned to school.

After the Mecha Single Soldier Department’s matters were resolved, Fei Wenxing eagerly gathered everyone, not leaving out Qu Tong or Rong Yueqing, and then spiritedly recounted his heroic tale.

After listening, everyone was full of admiration.

Cheng Yao: "Brilliant!"

Song Ke: "A talent!"

He Zhou: "Awesome!"

Rong Yueqing covered her small mouth: "There’s such a move!"

Fei Wenxing, with a proud tilt of his chin, accepted all the praise.

Only Xu An was more thoughtful and asked, "Aren’t you afraid they’ll check with the officials when they come out and end up blaming you?"

Fei Wenxing was not in the least apprehensive, "I’ll just say my skills are not perfect, what can they do to me?"

The others were silent.

Fei Wenxing chuckled, "I think I still have my 60 percent report card from before, I’ll go look for it."

Not long after splitting up, without any surprise, Xu An came to find Qu Tong alone.

Xu An stared at Qu Tong and didn’t speak for a while.

Qu Tong wasn’t in a hurry and waited for Xu An.

Xu An’s typically clear face flickered with numerous emotions, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "I won’t tell anyone about today’s events."

Qu Tong was taken aback for a moment and then responded with a smile, "Hmm."

"You’ve been to Planet A15, haven’t you?" Xu An’s voice was soft. Though it was a question, he already had the answer in mind.

Qu Tong guessed that Xu An would realize after coming to his senses, that shared location.

"Hmm," Qu Tong nodded in affirmation calmly.

Having received a definitive answer, Xu An didn’t know what to feel for a moment.

After a long silence, Xu An looked at Qu Tong again, weighing his words carefully, "What happened in these two years?"

Why had there been such a big change when he had only been away for two years?

Qu Tong pursed his lips and with the same obedient and sensible tone from the past said, "Brother, can we not talk about some things?"

Xu An was taken aback, but eventually nodded, "Okay, if you don’t want to say it, I won’t ask, but you will always be my sister."

Xu An reminisced about all the past events, and no matter what, they were all done for his sake.

Had it not been to save him, she wouldn’t have exposed herself.

Qu Tong flashed a relaxed smile, "Thank you, Brother."

Xu An wanted to hug his sister like in the old days, he stretched out his hand but hesitated, and in the end, he only patted Qu Tong’s head.

Qu Tong did not dodge.

He wasn’t sure if this was good or bad for him.

The only relative he had left in this world was gone, and he didn’t know whether the truth or a lie was more cruel.

He would tell him when the time was right, and let him choose for himself.

Xu An looked at Qu Tong, his clear and handsome face full of seriousness, "The school, to avoid anyone being infected with the toxins of the Insect Clan, organized an examination for all those who returned from Planet A15."

Qu Tong blinked her eyes, so what?

"My physical condition has recovered to S-rank," Xu An could now say this calmly, without the stunned reaction when he first heard the result.

Qu Tong was slightly surprised, "Wasn’t it said that Void Crystal Stone can only improve one major grade?"

Xu An shook his head, "I don’t know either."

"My identity information has already been updated, and during the inspection we went in one by one. Only the medical personnel and Coach Han knew, and Coach Han has already instructed my seniors to keep it a secret."

Xu An explained the situation during the checkup.

"That’s good news."

With this, the young girl should be at ease, Qu Tong thought.

Qu Tong reviewed the events of that day with Xu An and asked Xu An to take out the supplies she had prepared for him to inspect.

Only a few vials of Energy Liquid remained, only three doses of Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion were used, but the Silver Potion was gone.

Thoughts flickered in Qu Tong’s eyes. She asked Xu An to pack away the potions, and then she herself returned to Yuelan Bay.

She called Xuan Ping and the others and went straight back to Luyi Star.

Previously, she had returned to the school instead of going directly back to Luyi Star with Xuan Ping and the others, because doing so without them would have aroused suspicion.

The appearance of a large number of the Insect Clan on Planet A15 had already spread through the star network.

The official report arrived quickly as well.

The First Army Corps detected wormhole energy fluctuations deep in the forests of Planet A15 and preliminarily concluded that the Insect Clan had managed to open wormholes further away. According to the residual energy’s intensity and past data, there should not be another wormhole appearing for at least a month.

Because a wormhole requires energy to sustain and only a limited number of Insect Clan can pass through, the stationed troops on various planets can handle them adequately. Additionally, the six major Legions have been informed to patrol dispersedly. With proper defense, there won’t be further significant casualties.

The leaders of the several Legions and related personnel hurried back to Capital Star for a meeting to re-coordinate the military arrangements.

The cause of the wormhole’s relocation is still under study, and results are expected soon.

There have been incidents of wormhole relocations before, but they were quickly intercepted and controlled at the outer borders.

So, although netizens were anxious, there was no widespread panic.

The military strength of the Empire was still deemed trustworthy.

Qu Tong watched the news on the aircraft, and interestingly enough, Qu Jianwen’s new farm was leased on Planet A15; the newly cultivated farm had been completely destroyed.

Watching Li Yuexiang cry her heart out in the videos, along with Qu Jianwen and others’ collapsed state, Qu Tong laughed unkindly.

Ha ha ha! What goes around comes around!

Well done!

"Madam, is Miss Jun Li really a Pharmacist?" Xuan Ping, also paying attention to the news during his free time, asked Qu Tong in surprise after seeing the news spreading online.

"Seems so," Qu Tong responded ambiguously.

She had also come across news about herself. The videos of her piloting Mecha and her rescue actions were being widely publicized on the internet.

Suddenly, she was tagged with many new labels: "Empire’s Rising Goddess," "Women’s Power Ceiling," "Hardcore Pharmacist," "New Generation Wood-element Ability Awakener," and so on.

Xuan Ping: "Shouldn’t all Pharmacists be like those people in the Alchemist Association?"

Qu Tong raised her eyebrows: "How so?"

Xuan Ping shared the military’s opinion of Pharmacists with her—glass cannon Pharmacists.

Pharmacists basically all have spiritual power, and the higher the grade of the Pharmacist, the higher their physical condition as well. Despite having spiritual power, they hardly exhibit any combat capability.

But this also has its advantages: they can undergo fewer Mental Outbursts or endure weaker ones.

"If SSS-rank powerhouses in the Empire are so renowned, why has Miss Jun Li’s name never been revealed?" Xuan Ping raised a question that matched the doubts of netizens.

When residents of the Empire are born, their basic information is entered into the system. An S-rank would attract a lot of attention, let alone SSS-rank.

"It suggests that the person prefers to keep a low profile," guessed Hu Qing, and then looked to Qu Tong for agreement: "Madam, don’t you think so?"

Qu Tong laughed twice but did not respond.

It was Su Hua who spoke up: "I know this—Miss Jun Li’s identity information was registered incorrectly. It listed her as A-rank and was never corrected afterward."

"How do you know that?" Hu Qing was curious.

Generously, Su Hua explained: "My boyfriend works at the Police Headquarters, and he told me."

Xuan Ping and Hu Qing suddenly understood.

"He also said that Miss Jun Li likes handsome men."

Xuan Ping and Hu Qing let out a long "Oh," teasingly suggesting, "It’s normal that Miss Jun Li likes handsome men; I like beautiful women, too."

Qu Tong: "..."

Walking down the street, I stumbled inexplicably; looking down, I realized I had fallen into a hole I had dug myself.
