Chapter 73 - 73 Participating in the Military Selection
73 Participating in the Military Selection
“Where are you now?”
“The dormitory.”
“Stay there and don’t go anywhere. I’m almost there.”
Bing Mengqi hung up the call after exchanging only a few words.
Su Bai was a little confused.
But since he was free, he waited for the beauty to come.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. When the door opened, it was Bing Mengqi in the OCP uniform. Even so, it couldn’t hide her impressive figure, and the youth training members outside couldn’t take their eyes off her.
They were like old monks who had been in seclusion for thirty years.
“Let’s talk inside.” Bing Mengqi walked into the dormitory without restraint and sat on the bed.
Su Bai chuckled and probed, “Could it be about… That matter?”
There was probably nothing else that could have attracted the attention of this great beauty other than the ruins.
“Smart.” Bing Mengqi rolled her eyes at Su Bai and said. “I’ll cut the crap. How do you plan to deal with the IOU?”
‘So it is because of that.’ Su Bai couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.
On the surface, it looked like a piece of great news, but in fact, it was a hot potato.
“I haven’t thought about it.”
“Then I’m here to help you.”
“Do tell.”
“As far as I know, the deputy commander of the Ninth Legion is an upright and plainspoken soldier. If you try to use an IOU to ask him for a chance to rise to the top in a single bound…” Bing Mengqi revealed a strange smile. She continued, “You know what it means to offend a deputy commander in the military, right?”
The meaning of Bing Mengqi’s words couldn’t be more evident. It was to ask Su Bai to be careful with his words and actions and not ask for something exorbitant from the deputy commander.
Su Bai had been warned by Chen Hui and the others about this.
Therefore, he was already at ease and didn’t intend to use the IOU to ask for something exorbitant.
He still wished to stay in the military.
After all, Su Bai was not a fool. Only a short-sighted fool would offend a big shot before entering the military.
“So, you really didn’t plan on using the IOU?” Bing Mengqi asked again.
This time, Su Bai was silent for a while and then said happily, “I just thought of it, and I’d like to ask for your opinion, Ms. Bing.”
“Tell me about it.”
“I wish to participate in this year’s military selection.”
“Huh?”
Hearing that, Bing Mengqi was so shocked that she stood up. She looked at Su Bai in astonishment and asked, “Are you out of your mind? You don’t have to do that even if you’re afraid of offending him.”
The military selection was a special event in the youth training camp.
It was specially prepared for the members with a gap of tens of thousands of points throughout the half-year.
They could officially join the military if they passed the military selection.
It could be considered a special method.
It couldn’t be considered a shortcut. After all, each year, the military selection test was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, and the passing rate was less than ten percent.
Last year, five to six hundred people participated in the military’s youth training camp, but only about 30 people passed.
The brutal competition was much more intense than the youth training camp, and it wasn’t inferior.
“Think about it again. You only need 30,000 merit points to participate in the military selection. Your IOU is worth more than 30,000 merit points,” Bing Mengqi said.
“I’ve already thought it through. Time is also precious.” Su Bai said honestly.
This year’s military selection was in a month.
The IOU was a hot potato, to begin with, and Su Bai could use this opportunity to use it.
That way, he wouldn’t offend the deputy commander of the military, nor would he waste the IOU given by Grand Beastmaster Xuan Tian.
“Then, are you confident about the military selection?” Bing Mengqi asked helplessly.
Having experienced the battle in the wilderness together, Bing Mengqi knew Su Bai’s strength. However, he was still too young and was worried that his foundation would be hurt if he overdid it.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know again? Is that all you could say?”
“Uh…I don’t know.”
Bing Mengqi was speechless.
Bing Mengqi clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and punched Su Bai to vent her anger. She said, “Alright, come with me. I’ll take you to see the deputy commander of the Ninth Legion.”
When Bing Mengqi said that, Su Bai was no longer sleepy. He packed up immediately and left the dormitory with her.
Along the way, Su Bai was already drawing enough attention. However, with a beauty like Bing Mengqi beside him, he was completely overshadowed.
“Su Bai! Su Bai!”
At that time, Situ Yang ran up and smilingly whispered into Su Bai’s ear, “I don’t believe it. We haven’t seen each other for a while, and you’ve already hooked up with a beauty?”
“Ahem, nonsense.” Su Bai coughed. “We’re just colleagues.”
“Colleagues?” Situ Yang touched the back of his head in a daze.
When Bing Mengqi heard the word colleague, she was both angry and amused.
‘He hadn’t gone through the military selection yet and already thought he had passed. What a crazy fool.’
“Well, I’m going for a meal. I’ll see you later.”
Situ Yang noticed Bing Mengqi’s ice-cold expression and quickly made an excuse to slip away.
“Colleagues?” Bing Mengqi stared at Su Bai and smirked.
“You can’t say we’re friends who have gone through life and death together, right?” Su Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Thinking back to her experience in the wilderness, Bing Mengqi suddenly felt nothing wrong with what Su Bai said.
Soon, the two of them left the youth training camp and entered the official military base.
Along the way were slow-moving trucks and Beasts that made Su Bai’s eyes light up.
‘Compared to the youth training camp, the official soldiers’ Beasts were all magnificent. Just by looking at them, one could feel the chilling aura.’
These were the soldiers in Los Monstaria who had passed through many selections and fought for the survival of the human race.
Su Bai couldn’t help but respect them.
“We’re here.”
As they entered a door, Bing Mengqi instructed, “After we enter, don’t talk nonsense and act according to my signal.”
Then, Bing Mengqi pushed open the door, and Su Bai followed.
They passed through the corridor and arrived at a hall. A tall and thin middle-aged soldier was sitting on the sofa, and beside him was a girl that Su Bai was familiar with.
The young female soldier had been with Chen Hui in the ruins!
Su Bai didn’t pay much attention to it at first. Since he had already learned about their relationship from Chen Hui and the others.
But the next second, Bing Mengqi rushed toward the middle-aged soldier and blurted out, “Dad, I’ve brought him here,”
Su Bai’s mouth twitched.
He didn’t expect Bing Mengqi to be the daughter of the Ninth Legion’s deputy commander, just like the young girl!
“You must be Su Bai?”
“Yes. Hello, sir.”
“Although you should already know, I’ll still introduce myself.” The middle-aged soldier stood up and said calmly. “I am the deputy commander of Los Monstaria’s Ninth Legion, Bing He.”
“Greetings, sir!”
“You’ve been a popular person in the military these days.” Bing He smiled and said. “There aren’t many people in Los Monstaria who can comprehend the Realization Stone.”
“I was just lucky.” Su Bai smiled.
Bing He looked at the young man in front of him and said, “There are many lucky people, but it’s the first time I’ve seen someone actually did it. It’s not an exaggeration to call you a genius.”
Bing He had checked Su Bai’s resume in advance and thought he was lucky initially.
But after he realized what Su Bai had accomplished in the wild, it became clear that it was no longer a matter of chance.
