CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 389: HOW COULD ORDINARY PEOPLE UNDERSTAND MY AMBITION?

As their voices dropped, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao... all looked up, their gaze turning toward Ji You.

Ji You stated earnestly, "No matter how difficult, I must join the Sixth Legion." It wasn’t easy to join a formal legion, not every military academy graduate could easily join one of the Alliance’s six legions each year. They must go through multiple selections, passing five levels and cutting down six generals...

But—

No matter the challenges, Ji You had made up her mind; she would join.

She had to join.

The few of them silently watched Ji You, and after a moment, Shen Changqing’s eyes shone dazzlingly as he revealed a smile and said, "What a coincidence, me too."

Yue Qiyuan’s lips curled slightly as he echoed, "What a coincidence, me too."

Only Sheng Qingyan wore an incredulous expression, furrowing his brows tightly and said, "All of you... have gone mad, haven’t you?"

Shen Changqing shook his head: "No."

Yawning, Yue Qiyuan gave Sheng Qingyan a sidelong glance and imitated his tone, "You’re the one who’s gone mad..."

Sheng Qingyan frowned even deeper: "You guys..."

Chu Jiaojiao slapped her hand down no-nonsense and spat out, "Why talk so much? Your goal is to mooch off others until death as a wastrel – we never mocked you for it, nor tried to counsel you. Each to their own! Don’t whine in front of us, or else you’ll get a slap!"

Sheng Qingyan: "..."

Staring at the four people in front of him, Sheng Qingyan eventually raised his hand to cover his mouth, yawned, and said, "Whatever you want... it’s none of my business anyway..."

After speaking, he closed his eyes, leaning back in his chair in a posture of resting with eyes closed.

In fact, Sheng Qingyan’s heart was also filled with frustration.

Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and Sheng Qingyan all hailed from Nami Star of the Alliance Main Star and because of their family backgrounds, they knew each other from a young age. Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, and Chu Jiaojiao had formed connections since kindergarten.

Through elementary school, middle school, high school, college...

It could be said that Sheng Qingyan had spent more time with Chu Jiaojiao and Shen Changqing than with his own family, Old Man Sheng. His relationship with them was similar.

The few of them, having grown up together, spent more time with each other than with their own families. They weren’t just friends – they were like family.

Now—

The four of them had simultaneously decided to join the Sixth Legion. Not the strong and fortress-like First Legion of the First Star System, nor the stable, reliable logistics headquarters...

But the Sixth Legion!

—It was in the remote, backward, arduous, and perilous Sixth Star System!

Had Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and the Yue brothers wished it, there was absolutely no need for them to head to the Sixth Star System.

However—

With his eyes closed, Sheng Qingyan pictured a clear map illustrating the vast expanse of the Alliance’s territory in his mind, each sector and every Star System flickering through...

What about himself?

Where should he choose to set foot?

Sheng Qingyan couldn’t find an answer.

...

On this side.

After Ji You boldly declared her goal in front of everyone, there was a moment of silence before Yue Qiguang suddenly slapped his thigh, bursting into laughter, and pointed at Ji You, "Fool! You’re going to be heartbroken, with your weak physical strength and insignificant spiritual power, thinking of joining the Sixth Legion? Keep dreaming."

As soon as he spoke, Yue Qiyuan quickly added, "With her qualifications, it’s not impossible – she could mop floors in the logistics department, or join the ceremonial team to cheer for the warriors. Anyway, going to the front lines is impossible."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s face darkened.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing whispered an addition, "Even the ceremonial team won’t work; there are strict height requirements, Ji You..." He left the rest unsaid.

Ji You: "..."

Ji You’s face turned completely black.

However, it didn’t end there.

Chu Jiaojiao continued to laugh heartily, her face carefree as she said, "Don’t be sad, Ji You. When I get into the Fierce Tiger Team, I’ll frequently send you videos from the front lines."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You suddenly stretched out her hand and slammed it down on the table hard.

Clang——

The sturdy metal table emitted a loud noise and shook wildly.

Everyone: "!!!"

Ji You looked at the few people and gritted her teeth: "Even a cornered rabbit will bite! You’ve all gone far enough, dare to provoke me again, and you’ll end up like this table!"

After finishing her words——

Ji You fiercely smashed the table again...

Bang!

The metal table let out another loud noise.

Everyone: "..."

Oh my god!

Her hand!

Her hand!

It hurts so much...

Almost crippled...

But——Ji You withdrew her hand very calmly, not showing the slightest sign of pain, and with a smirk, said: "My ambition, how could mere mortals understand? Don’t underestimate me, just watch—I’ll definitely be the first one recruited by the Sixth Legion. Not just that, I’m sure to be the first person under Admiral Bai Ji’s command! Just you wait and see..."

Silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

...

After a while, Yue Qiyuan leaned over and stared at the metal table for a good long while before shaking his head and glared at Ji You with a face full of reproach: "What did the table do to deserve this from you?"

Ji You: "..."

Yue Qiguang cursed: "Shameless fool! Bullying a table, what kind of hero does that make you!"

Ji You: "..."

Chu Jiaojiao’s tone was slightly softer, but still disapproving, she said: "Ji You, if you want to beat someone, just tell me, don’t do it yourself, okay? What if you injure your hand? Besides, it’s not nice to the table either."

Ji You: "..."

Confirmed, the focus of Chu Jiaojiao’s sentence was on the very end!

Hmph~

So much for her own loyal dog, unconditional support, in the end, her hand isn’t as precious as a table.

Then——

There was only Shen Changqing left. Ji You glared at him, staring him down, fearing that even this honest person might have nothing good to say.

As a result, Shen Changqing just glanced at Ji You and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t say anything."

After he finished speaking, Shen Changqing reached out and began to carefully inspect the metal table, checking the tabletop, legs, and pads... leaving no part unchecked, covering everything. After the inspection, Shen Changqing looked at the others and smiled: "Don’t worry, the table is fine."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You took a deep breath and said, "You’ve all had enough."

At this moment, Sheng Qingyan, who had been closing his eyes as if he were asleep, suddenly sat up, lifted his eyelid slightly, glanced at Ji You and said: "Poor dead ghost... do you realize what you nearly did wrong just now?"

Ji You: "???"

Sheng Qingyan stretched out a snow-white finger, pointing to the table, and said: "The Floating Car is personal property of the school. It’s only lent to us for use. If a student deliberately damages it, even if it’s just a table or a table leg, there will be a fine. The fine starts from 5000 credit points, with no cap depending on the degree of damage."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You immediately bent down and, with a more meticulous spirit and attitude than Shen Changqing had just displayed, carefully examined the table. Finding indeed that there was nothing wrong, she then let out a sigh of relief.
