Chapter 257: Chapter 256: There Are Some Words I Want to Say to You

And besides, he felt that he was quite a catch himself.

It wasn’t that he was narcissistic, he just had enough self-awareness.

He was promoted to the rank of major general at 32, commanding 250,000 troops. Although he couldn’t compare with Si Yuting, he was still considered young and promising.

There were many beautiful girls who wanted to marry him, but he liked none of them.

He had his principles, either to find someone he truly admired or to remain single.

Just as Feng Lin was about to go find Qu Tong, Cheng Feng called out to Captain Feng from the other side.

Feng Lin glanced at Qu Tong, withdrew his steps and went to deal with official business first.

Feng Haoran’s gaze shifted between Qu Tong and Feng Lin, shrugged his shoulders, and also walked away.

It wasn’t just the Sixth Army Corps that had injured men—some from the First Army Corps were hurt as well.

Probably because of the last incident with the medicine and the relationship with the Admiral’s wife, the men from the First Army Corps were very enthusiastic towards Qu Tong.

As Qu Tong was treating their wounds, they gathered around to chat.

As long as it didn’t interfere with her bandaging, Qu Tong was quite willing to shoot the breeze with them.

She could hear some interesting things about their army and occasionally listen to them praise their own Admiral’s wife.

Everyone had a good impression of Qu Tong; although she was somewhat aloof and spoke little, she was patient and had a gentle temperament.

Getting to talk with an SSS-rank Pharmacist who also helped with treating wounds, the soldiers felt flattered.

Later on, Qu Tong was practically monopolized by the people from the First Army Corps.

The Sixth Army Corps and others were left to the other medical staff.

Halfway through the treatment, Si Yuting came back, bringing Jiang Zhou with him.

The antidote serum was running low, so Jiang Zhou went back to Abel Star to get it.

When Jiang Zhou saw Qu Tong was also there, he was about to greet her, but Qu Tong stood up first, smiling as she greeted him, "Doctor Zhou, long time no see."

Jiang Zhou silently retracted his greeting.

Just then, the medical officer of the Sixth Army Corps hurried over, and Jiang Zhou handed over the antidote serum he had just counted out to him.

Then he turned back to Qu Tong and said, "I heard that your companion also needs the antidote serum. I’ll go with you to check on him."

Qu Tong looked around but didn’t see Xu An and the others, so she directly led Jiang Zhou to them.

The doors to the underground shelter had already been opened, and He Zhou had been sent back to the hospital.

Jiang Zhou administered the antidote serum to He Zhou, then said to Qu Tong, "The antidote serum needs to be injected three times, once a day. If Miss Jun Li finds it inconvenient, you can bring someone to the Sixth Army Corps. Marshal Si and I will also be there during this period."

The planet where the Sixth Army Corps was stationed differed from that of the First Army Corps; it was a public planet.

Unlike Abel Star, although most people knew that Abel Star was the military command center of the First Army Corps, without internal personnel providing navigation coordinates, one simply couldn’t find the exact location of Abel Star.

"Ah, okay," Qu Tong looked up from her light computer, and seeing He Zhou had no objection, she nodded in agreement.

Xu An had just messaged her to say that they were taken by Zhao Qian to a neighboring planet to search for any remaining members of the Insect Clan. He asked her to look after He Zhou.

By the time He Zhou’s discharge procedures were completed, the matters outside had also been mostly handled.

In front of Cheng Feng’s fighter jet, some mercenaries and local residents were lined up, registering something.

Jiang Zhou, seeing Qu Tong’s puzzled expression, kindly explained, "They are registering Honor Points according to the number of Insect Clan they’ve killed."

"Can non-military personnel also receive them?" Qu Tong was slightly surprised; she had thought that only people like Si Yuting had a chance to earn these points.

"Not at all, as long as one has killed members of the Insect Clan, anyone can claim points. That’s why many formidable mercenaries come to these frontier planets to strike it rich—a single point can be exchanged for 10 Star Coins."

Qu Tong: "..."

She hadn’t applied for any before, so hadn’t she wasted a lot of points?

"The points have many uses, Miss Jun Li could also go register. Even though you don’t lack money, you never know when they might come in handy," Jiang Zhou suggested.

He gave an example, "If you have the chance to join the military, points are a key factor in evaluation and promotion."

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow: "Then can I register for more?"

She would make up for the missed money.

She wasn’t short of money, but who would complain about having too much of it?

Right?

"No way!" Jiang Zhou glanced at Qu Tong presumptuously:

"The final number of points issued is calculated based on the total number of Insect Clan members and the reported numbers, and there must be confirmation from an Energy Wave Detector and satellite imagery. There might be some discrepancies, but usually, it’s not too far off from the real data."

"Oh."

Qu Tong nodded awkwardly.

Looking at the long queue and then at Si Yuting, who was supervising on the side, she decided to cut in line.

She had no morals, don’t kidnap her.

Qu Tong walked straight up to Si Yuting and said confidently, "Admiral, you seem to be quite free, help me register, would you? I’m in a hurry."

Si Yuting: "..."

A few mercenaries doing the registering looked at Qu Tong in surprise, and Cheng Feng also couldn’t help but glance sideways at her.

A few mercenaries were thinking:

Isn’t this the tough Miss who just slaughtered the Insect Clan?

Pretty-good-looking, but lacks tact.

Didn’t she see the Admiral wearing a cold face that screamed ’keep out’?

She actually asked a national Admiral to register for her.

So bold!

They wouldn’t dare speak like that even if they were given a hundred guts.

Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for the War God’s Highness to become angry,

Si Yuting just furrowed his brows and looked at Qu Tong, who was leisurely twirling her hair, not looking the least bit in a hurry.

He glanced at the queue in front of Cheng Feng, hesitating somewhat.

An army corps only has one system account.

While hesitating, Feng Lin waved to Qu Tong and called out loudly, "I’m free here, Miss Jun Li, come over to register."

Upon hearing this, Qu Tong decisively turned and went to Feng Lin’s side.

It was better not to trouble the fair and stern Marshal Si with personal favors.

Si Yuting pursed his lips and lowered his head to continue his work.

Yet, he kept an eye on Qu Tong’s situation from the corner of his eye.

Feng Lin had just used his Special Ability to clear the debris at the entrance of the police station. He wiped his hands with a towel, took out his smart brain, and logged into his account.

Once Feng Lin was ready, Qu Tong then asked, "I should have killed about a hundred high-grade members of the Insect Clan, right? I can’t remember the mid and low-grade ones. Can you calculate them like this?"

"No problem, just scan your light brain," Feng Lin replied very patiently.

Feng Lin also had other matters to attend to. After helping Qu Tong, he handed the rest of the work to his subordinates.

After the post-battle tasks were handled, and the town’s order was restored, Qu Tong took He Zhou with her to visit the planet where the Sixth Army Corps was stationed.

It just so happened that the spaceship He Zhou was on was full, so Qu Tong simply stayed.

Si Yuting and Feng Lin went to find the manager of a tertiary star, and Qu Tong waited for them by the side of the road.

Qu Tong looked at the flowerbed, bald after being damaged, and used a little of her not-so-fully-recovered Special Ability. In no time, the area blossomed into splendor once again.

Si Yuting came out before Feng Lin and saw Qu Tong’s slender white hand resting on a globular cluster of sky stars.

Specks of green light trickled from her fingertips. The once vibrant green spheres sprouted numerous small white flowers, exuding a fresh elegance.

Qu Tong lowered her hand and turned to Si Yuting hesitantly, "My spaceship is full, Admiral, can I hitch a ride on your craft?"

Thinking of the times she had teased Si Yuting before, Qu Tong wasn’t sure if he would agree.

It didn’t matter if he didn’t agree; she had her own craft, and she could just ask Feng Lin for access later.

However, Si Yuting agreed without holding grudges, which caught Qu Tong off guard.

When Feng Lin came out, Qu Tong explained the situation to him again and then prepared to board Si Yuting’s craft.

Seeing this, Feng Lin stepped forward and invited, "Miss Jun Li, may I accompany you? I have something I’d like to discuss with you."
