Chapter 246: Chapter 245 My Wife Ranked First in the Department

And at the center of the discussions, one was in Fu Xiangyu’s office, and the other in Xun Guangyong’s office.

In the solitary office of Xun Guangyong, Lan Weiying sat on the only office chair in the room, while Xun Guangyong stood to one side with a submissive demeanor, his face expressing resentment.

"That worthless kid in Class C is assigned a high-grade nutrient solution this time, and the regulations require at least 60 points, which is out of my hands."

"She’s backed by the royal family, owning an entire farm that could influence the Agricultural Academy. With no lacking in money, she naturally doesn’t lack herbal materials. Without an effective plan, it’s best to do nothing, and keep your clever tricks to a minimum."

Lan Weiying glanced at Xun Guangyong with disdain: "Otherwise, the Alchemist Association has plenty of people willing to take over your job."

"Yes, yes, Second Miss," Xun Guangyong nodded and bowed.

Lan Weiying stood up and left the office before dialing Lan Xingye.

Upon connecting the call, faint traces of flirtatious postlude could be heard. Lan Weiying’s eyes flashed with annoyance, yet she patiently said, "Xingye, could you please get Miss Ouyang to collect all of Qu Tong’s data information from birth to now?"

After a while, Lan Xingye’s voice came through the other end, "That might be a little difficult. Can it wait for a bit?"

Lan Weiying furrowed her brows: "Isn’t Miss Ouyang with you?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the call, and Lan Weiying knew the answer.

"You have a good relationship with Miss Ouyang, sweet-talk her a bit. I need this information."

Only then did Lan Xingye reluctantly agree and hastily hung up the phone.

Lan Weiying wanted to say more but stopped herself, looking at the disconnected call disapprovingly.

Fu Xiangyu’s office

"Do you really plan to take the Mecha Single Soldier Department’s exam?" Fu Xiangyu voiced her disbelief.

"Didn’t you rank first in the Pharmaceutical Department? Why would you want to change departments?" Another instructor in the office was also surprised, "And doesn’t piloting a mecha in the Mecha Single Soldier Department require B-rank spiritual power or above?"

Qu Tong half-jokingly replied, "I have a mecha; the Crown Princess Consort tailored a mecha for me, so I want to give the Mecha Single Soldier Department a try."

"You don’t necessarily have to study in the Mecha Single Soldier Department for that. How about this? I know an instructor there; I can arrange for you to attend a couple of his classes as a guest next semester, and he can give you some guidance."

Fu Xiangyu truly had Qu Tong’s best interests at heart, believing that she was excellent in many areas. With enough practice, she was sure to display her talent in pharmaceuticals.

Moreover, with her mentorship relationship with Jun Li, their Class C could very likely produce a Senior Alchemist.

Qu Tong merely smiled and shook her head.

Seeing that Qu Tong was determined, Fu Xiangyu knew persuasion was futile and could only sigh before opening the academic affairs system.

"I’ll register you for the spot. There’s only one such spot each year, but you’ll need to pay honor points, you know that, right? Remember to complete it within three days."

Qu Tong didn’t actually know; so Si Yuting was helping her by paying the points.

She felt as though a parent was helping pay the tuition fees.

After returning, Qu Tong sent the payment link to Si Yuting, along with a hand-rubbing emoji.

Sitting in Feng Lin’s office, Si Yuting opened the link and was not surprised by the content.

Without any hesitation, he transferred 500,000 points from his account.

It was well known that the Empire’s honor points could be exchanged for many special rewards. 500,000 points were even more valuable than 5 million Star Coins.

For killing a single low-grade member of the Insect Clan, you would only get 1 point, and an ordinary soldier might never earn 500,000 points in their lifetime.

After completing the transaction and logging out, he promptly replied with a message: [Done.]

The next second, a message popped up: [Thank you, Your Highness, love you.]

Accustomed to Qu Tong’s occasional messages of this sort, Si Yuting still found his spirits lifted.

Feng Lin peeked at Si Yuting’s light brain display, turned on the privacy settings, and saw nothing.

However, seeing that Marshal Si, who just had an expressionless face, now had a soft expression, Feng Lin raised an eyebrow, "Marshal Si, did something good happen?"

He originally thought that the cold and serious Marshal Si would not casually talk about his personal affairs, so he just made a joking comment.

To his surprise, Si Yuting responded, and very seriously at that, "Yes, my wife ranked first in the whole department."

Feng Lin: "..."

That’s it?

Why did he feel like Si Yuting was showing off?

Feng Lin looked again at Si Yuting’s sincere and earnest expression. It must be an illusion.

But ever since Si Yuting got married, he did seem to have changed.

He didn’t keep a stern face all day anymore, and occasionally, one could even see him looking happy and pleased.

Could marriage really bring so many benefits?

He was also 35, but unfortunately, he hadn’t met the right one.

Fei Wenxing wanted to invite Qu Tong to eat, but unfortunately couldn’t find her, because Old Yuan had called her back to Luyi Star.

The practical exam of the Mecha Single Soldier Department was scheduled last, with the Mecha Design Department’s practical assessment in between, lasting three days.

Xu An and He Zhou also hurried back to take the exam.

During these days, the virtual pods and training rooms were in high demand, and the Underground Fighting Arena was extraordinarily lively, mostly with students.

There was also a piece of news that spread rapidly, causing the students from the Mecha Single Soldier Department to mockingly jeer.

It was about Qu Tong registering for the practical exam of the Mecha Single Soldier Department.

"What? The top student of the Pharmaceutical Department is signing up for our Mecha Single Soldier Department’s practical exam?"

"Is it that person with an F fitness level but a complicated identity?"

"I heard from my tutor that she seems to be transferring departments."

"Can she even pilot a mecha? Just transferring to our department?"

Fei Wenxing got the news at the first moment and clarified in the group immediately, retorting:

"What are you talking about? How many soldiers in the Legion don’t have mechas? Why don’t you go and find out about it?"

Cheng Yao also exaggeratedly added, "What era is it now? You guys actually don’t know that the Bai Family has developed a mecha that doesn’t require spiritual power to operate, and our Tong sister just happens to have one."

Fei Wenxing quickly followed up, playing along, "The Bai Family’s mechas aren’t cheap. Look at him; he probably can’t afford one. Even the ads wouldn’t be directed at him; it’s quite normal he doesn’t know."

The person was ridiculed until his face turned red and his neck thickened, but retorted stubbornly, "Keep boasting. What’s so great about a mecha that doesn’t need spiritual power? It’s not as if just having a mecha means you’ll pass the exam."

"Right, you also have to be good at shooting. Our Tong sister will outshoot all of you," retorted Fei Wenxing boldly and provocatively.

"Our Single Soldier Department isn’t a joke. Don’t think just because you can mix up some Nutrient Solution you can be compared to us," one said.

There was a hierarchy of disdain between different departments, and the students from the Mecha Single Soldier Department have always considered themselves superior, placing more emphasis on physical fitness levels.

Where there’s one, there’s another; others also began to voice their displeasure.

"I wonder who will end up facing her in combat; wouldn’t it just be bullying the weak?"

"What’s there not to understand? She wants to transfer to our department, but don’t end up crying and making a fuss about wanting to go back later."
