Shadows of the Deep Space

Su Ming laughed and replied.

"Hmph, annoying, I'm never going back."

Celeste declared with her hands on her hips.

Su Ming watched this scene and couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Rhein walked over and reported to Su Ming.

"Boss, everything is ready."

"Let's go, to the central control."

Su Ming said steadily.

"Yes!"

Rhein and the others immediately followed Su Ming towards the central control room.

...

Inside the Central Control Room.

Timi was instructing Li Menghan and others on familiarizing themselves with the performance and operating system of the Level 5 Battleship·Sunlight.

"Everyone should quickly memorize the parameters of the Sunlight, it is significantly different from the Wind Moving, not just in size, which is ten times larger, but also with more advanced and complex electronics...."

At this moment, the central control door opened, and Su Ming walked in with Rhein and others.

"Commander Su Ming."

Timi greeted respectfully.

"How's the familiarization going?"

Su Ming asked with concern.

"No major issues, it's just too complex, it will take some time to be very familiar."

Timi nodded in response.

"No rush, take your time to get familiar, just as I need to go procure some nuclear bombs."

Su Ming smiled and said to Timi.

Although the military will supply them with conventional missiles, weapons like nuclear bombs still need to be bought with their own money.

The nuclear bombs he procured last time have all been used up.

"Alright!"

Timi nodded in response.

Su Ming immediately turned and left.

....

Early the next morning.

Inside the Sunlight central control room.

Su Ming sat steadily in the command chair.

This time he procured a total of 10 Wind Sunflowers, 5 Fury Winds, and 5 Storm's Fury, totaling 35 billion spent, with 1.905 billion remaining.

Of course, it's not that Su Ming was unwilling to buy more, but the quota was already maxed out.

At this moment, Timi walked over to report.

"Commander Su Ming, all the procured items have arrived."

"Very good, then let's launch, the Federation fleet is already waiting in outer space."

Su Ming nodded in response.

"Yes, activate the anti-gravity device and start to ascend the altitude."

Timi immediately began to issue commands.

"Yes!"

...

Inside the interstellar airport, the Level 5 Battleship·Sunlight slowly rose into the air, then the propulsion device was activated, ejecting blazing flames from the tail, heading towards the sky.

Soon after, the Sunlight broke through the atmosphere and arrived in outer space, heading towards the rendezvous coordinates.

At this moment, the Optical Imaging Device automatically projected a virtual image.

Through the image, one can see a Level 5 Mother Ship·Shield A, a Level 5 Battleship·Ice Spine, and two large Level 5 Transport Ships floating in the distant starry sky.

At this moment, a series of communication requests started to connect.

Timi reported to Su Ming.

"Commander Su Ming, Shield A and Ice Spine have sent communication requests!"

"Connect."

Su Ming replied steadily.

Shush!

A man with a Junior General Uniform, with white hair, wrinkles, and a determined look, and a woman in a Colonel Uniform, with short brown hair, looking smart and capable, appeared in the holographic image, saluting Su Ming.

"General!"

"Major General Tang Yan, Colonel Li Rong! Are you ready?"

Su Ming asked in a deep voice.

"All preparations are complete, awaiting your orders."

The two replied resolutely.

"Very good, everyone proceed to the Abyss of Descent!"

Su Ming directly issued the order.

Accompanied by the issuance of the order, the Sunlight and other ships increased their power output, activated the superluminal flight device, and each one entered subspace and disappeared.

-------------------

Inside the Mint Middle School·Classroom Office.

Teachers Tang Yan, Chen Yi, Gao Wen, and others were sorting paper documents together.

These documents will later follow the students' paths and be sent to various High-level Colleges and the Military Department.

At this moment, teacher Gao Wen said enviously to Tang Yan.

"Teacher Tang Yan, I didn't expect Su Ming to be your student. And now he's promoted to Vice Admiral, really makes people feel the disparity."

"Honestly, I didn't expect him to be promoted to Vice Admiral either, but I'm genuinely happy for him."

Tang Yan said with immense emotion.

Thinking back now, it all feels so unreal. Just a few years ago, he was still a student struggling for survival, and now he has become a Vice Admiral.

"When you rise to great heights in the future, don't forget about us."

Gao Wen said with a cheerful smile.

"Don't say that, I'm just an ordinary teacher, not looking for fame and fortune. To be honest, Su Ming's achievements today are all thanks to himself, I didn't help much as his teacher."

Tang Yan shook his head and replied, as he didn't want to trouble Su Ming.

"Old Tang, that's not right, you need to use connections when you have them."

Chen Yi advised Tang Yan.

"Forget it, it's not necessary! By the way, Chen Yi, how did your student do in this city exam?"

"Don't worry, my student Zhou Heng did particularly well this time, scoring 73 in the Mecha sub-subject! I even checked his comprehensive paper, scoring 270 shouldn't be a problem, my spot is secure this time."

Chen Yi said with great mood.

"Congratulations, now you can finally get your wish."

Tang Yan said with a smile.

"Haha, congratulations to you too."

Chen Yi replied happily.

But at that moment, hurried footsteps approached, and the office door was suddenly pushed open.

A teacher shouted in absolute horror.

"Something happened."

"Teacher Zheng Ke, what happened?"

Tang Yan and the others were taken aback and quickly asked.

Zheng Ke, out of breath, said.

"The Federation Government just announced, the city exam is canceled, it needs to be retaken!"

"Canceled? Impossible, how could it be canceled?"

Chen Yi asked with a buzzing mind.

"Chen Yi, don't be upset! It's just a retake, just going through the motions again. With your student's skills, he might even perform better on the retake."

Tang Yan quickly tried to reassure Chen Yi.

"That's true."

Chen Yi's mind eased a little at Tang Yan's words.

However, at that moment, Teacher Zheng Ke spoke up.

"Oh, it's not just a simple retake, many students have been arrested! That Teacher Chen Yi, your student Zhou Heng has also been arrested!"

"What did you say? How could he be arrested?"

Chen Yi was dumbfounded.

"I don't know, just know that people from the Night Owl Department took him, and what an infamously notorious espionage agency it is, not many come out alive."

Zheng Ke said helplessly.

"Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's vision went black, almost fainting.

Tang Yan and others quickly supported Chen Yi and said.

"Old Chen, hold on, get some water!"

Gao Wen and others quickly handed over a cup of water.

Chen Yi took the cup and drank a bit, gradually calming down and catching his breath.

"Are you okay?"

Tang Yan asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I just didn't expect things to go this far."

Chen Yi said with a bitter smile.

"It's okay, take it slow! You're just one short, there shouldn't be a problem."

Tang Yan continuously reassured Chen Yi.

"Sigh."

Chen Yi let out a long sigh.

KNOCK KNOCK!

At that moment, there was a knocking at the door.

Tang Yan and the others looked toward the door, seeing a uniformed man standing at the doorway, knocking.

"Is Teacher Tang Yan here?"

Tang Yan and others' expressions tightened immediately, someone looking for him at such a critical moment, it didn't look like good news, so they cautiously asked.

"Why are you looking for him?"

"I have a transfer letter for him, I came especially to deliver it, is he here?"

The staff member asked politely.

"I am Tang Yan, what transfer letter?"

Tang Yan asked puzzled.

"You've been transferred to Rain Capital·Okega Academy."

The staff member explained politely.

"What did you say? I've been transferred to Okega Academy? Are you sure there's no mistake?"

Tang Yan asked, full of disbelief.

"Yes, here's your transfer letter."

The staff member walked up to Tang Yan, handed him the transfer letter, then turned and left.

Gao Wen and others gathered around and said.

"Quick, open it and see!"

Tang Yan quickly opened the transfer letter to have a look, and it turned out to be true. The most striking part was the recommender at the bottom of the transfer letter, which had the name Su Ming.

"Su Ming."

Tang Yan murmured with slightly wet eyes.

"Congratulations, I told you that you're destined for greatness, this time you've truly achieved it."

Gao Wen and the others congratulated joyfully.

"Thank you, everyone."

Tang Yan couldn't help but show a bright smile.
