Shadows of the Deep Space

Su Ming listened to Mia's words, feeling somewhat helpless as he replied.

"Uh, I only have this one decent ship, take it easy."

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Mia reached out, patted Su Ming's shoulder, and said with a bright smile.

"I trust you as far as I can throw you."

Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

At this time, Yun Xuan, holding a document, hurriedly walked to Mia's side and reported to her.

"Lady Mia, the approval came through!"

"Really? That old woman had a change of heart? So straightforward!"

Mia smiled widely hearing Yun Xuan's words.

"But...."

Yun Xuan seemed hesitant to say more.

"But what?"

Mia looked puzzled at Yun Xuan.

"Lady Mia, why don't you take a look yourself?"

Yun Xuan then handed the document to Mia.

"That old daughter went too far, I need to have a word with her!"

After reading the document, Mia immediately became furious and yelled, gearing up to confront Commander Soraya.

Su Ming quickly held Mia back, curiously asking.

"Calm down, what's going on?"

"What else could be, I requested compensation, and she only approved the lowest bracket!"

Mia replied angrily.

"Lady Mia, please don't be upset, the commander's standpoint is that only the lowest bracket can be approved, otherwise the council won't pass it, and other corps are also approved in this way."

Yun Xuan hastily tried to persuade Mia.

Su Ming hearing this, said to Mia.

"Teacher Mia, let me see it!"

"Here!"

Mia handed the document to Su Ming in frustration.

Su Ming took it and had a look, this time the reported death toll was 1,321, mainly consisting of mecha drivers, the lowest level being lieutenants.

Compensation for lieutenants was approved, with different amounts based on residence, 5 million Federation Coins for Starlight City, 3 million for Sky Dome City and Rain Capital, 1 million for Sixteen District, other planets 800,000.

Mia complained angrily.

"What good is this money? In Sixteen District you may barely survive on 1 million, but in Starlight City, where every inch of land is pricey, how would a family survive on 5 million, they can't even afford a bathroom!"

"The lowest bracket is indeed a bit tight."

Su Ming nodded slightly in agreement.

In fact, back then when Lin Chuyu's father sacrificed himself, they couldn't continue living in Starlight City relying on compensation, thus they moved to Thirteenth District.

"No way, I must go find that old woman and reason with her."

Mia said angrily.

Su Ming quickly persuaded Mia upon hearing this.

"Teacher Mia don't go, you can't completely blame Commander Soraya for this, even if she approves more, it won't pass the council, won't it delay the distribution time then? Haven't you saved 580 million Federation Coins with me? Let me calculate the interest, make it 1 billion for you, you should be able to supplement it."

"Alright then!"

Mia agreed immediately upon hearing this.

"I'll transfer it to you!"

Su Ming raised his bracelet and transferred the money to Mia.

But speaking of it, although Teacher Mia seems carefree, she does possess her own charisma, take compensation for example.

Most generals approve whatever amount is sanctioned from above, and few are willing to offend superiors to fight for more.

In a sense, being with Mia is their fortune.

After receiving the money, Mia directly took out her bank card and handed it to Yun Xuan saying.

"Yun Xiao, use all the money from this card for supplementation."

"Alright, I'll do it right away."

Yun Xuan accepted Mia's card and replied.

Mia resolved the compensation issue and said with a smile.

"Umtu continue your training, Su Ming you guys come along, let me take you to visit the Twenty-Seventh Corps' mech formation."

"Okay!"

Su Ming and the others responded promptly.

Mia led Su Ming and the others forward.

Along the way, one Iron Guard after another was neatly placed in their positions.

The Federation's mecha formation's minimum standard is Second Generation Mecha, and Iron Guard is considered among the best of the second generation.

"These Iron Guards are the newest model!"

Mia introduced as she led them forward.

"Pretty good!"

Su Ming and the others nodded in response.

Soon, they crossed the Iron Guard Mecha area, rows of Third Generation Blue Wing Mechas came into view.

"Wow, so many Third Generation Mechas?"

Rhein and others exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, not many, let me show you something better!"

Mia continued to lead Su Ming and others forward.

Soon, they reached the area where Fourth Generation Mechas were parked, here were sixteen Fourth Generation Mechas, eleven of which were Fourth Generation Mecha·Shadow Slayers.

"Teacher, why only sixteen units?"

Rhein and others saw the number of Fourth Generation Machines and asked with confusion.

"No choice, many have been lost."

Mia replied helplessly.

"I see, I wondered why there were fewer than us."

Ankaga replied in realization.

"How many do you have?"

Mia looked at Ankaga and the others in bewilderment and asked.

"Including those recovered and repaired, about 32 units."

Rhein calculated slightly and said.

"So many?"

Mia was also stunned hearing Rhein and the others.

Fourth Generation Mechas are not something you find everywhere, each is exorbitantly priced, even the cheapest Shadow Slayer sells for tens of billions.

She had put in a great effort to acquire these Fourth Generation Mechas.

"Not really."

Su Ming shook his head and responded.

According to his original plan, the entire class of students, and under him, the captains should be equipped with Fourth Generation Mechas, the gap is still significant.

Mia turned back, excitedly asking Su Ming.
