The Villain’s Face Slapping Counterattack

Chapter 62.1



Chapter 62.1

Face-Slapping the Interstellar General and His Ger (6.1)

Editor: ghost

This world was relatively peaceful. There were not too many wars between the different planets, except for two of them. These planets had suddenly experienced drastic changes, so they had no choice, but to resort to plundering to survive. These two planets were the enemies of almost every peaceful planet.

The enemy ambushing them was precisely one of them, the Ox Star.

The Ox Star’s mechas were famous for its lethality and surprise attacks, so they often had the upper hand in war. They were a big enemy of the Interstellar Alliance.

Mu Xinhua ordered Wu Mingdi to lead a fleet to flank the enemies on the left side and the other colonel to flank them on the right. He would lead a group of modified high level mechas to face the enemies directly himself. Their numbers were similar to the opposite party, but their equipment should be greater than the other party’s. Also their planet’s mechas have always been famous for its speed. The best outcome would be to defeat the other side before they even realized it.

To keep their advantages, they chose to attack on three sides to repel the enemy’s forces from the outskirts of the planet.

“Go!” Mu Xinhua ordered. All soldiers deployed rapidly.

Mu Xinhua followed, but he was stopped by Zhou Xu as soon as he took a step.

Mu Xinhua questioned Zhou Xu with his eyes. Zhou Xu answered neither haughtily nor humbly: “Give me a warship with at least 30 soldiers. If I’m not wrong, they should have something up their sleeves.”

“What do you mean?” Mu Xinhua looked at Zhou Xu seriously. This was war. It was not a place to play. Mu Xinhua wouldn’t allow a mishap to occur. Zhou Xu had already given him a lot of pleasant surprises, so he trusted all of Zhou Xu, including his intuition.

Zhou Xu thought a little before saying: “I can’t point it out for you without a map, but their itinerary is a little weird. Although it is similar to what was said previously, but they deviated from the interstellar dimension by one degree. This one degree is not large–it may even just be a measurement error, but if it wasn’t and they had done it on purpose, then there is another possibility: they are using their technology to conceal something that I suspect is their fourth battleship.”

“I’ll give you a warship with 50 soldiers. Remember–no mistakes.”

Zhou Xu saluted: “Understood.”

Having finished speaking, Zhou Xu turned to leave, but his hand was suddenly held back by Mu Xinhua as he said hastily, “Zhou Xu, be careful.”

Mu Xinhua did not have time to be more intimate with Zhou Xu. This was a time of life and death for the Empire, so he could only whisper to his lover, “Be careful.”

But in this one sentence, Zhou Xu understood a lot.

Sitting on the warship’s command cabin, Zhou Xu was surprisingly calm.

At the moment of the space jump, Zhou Xu suddenly lost consciousness. This situation may occur to some people during space jumps and these people would usually recover in a few minutes. However, Zhou Xu was different, he had never lost consciousness because of a space jump before, this was the very first time.

When Zhou Xu woke up, something strange had happened. His memory seemed to have recovered a little. Although he had no time to consider it much, Zhou Xu could remember that when he was 8 years old, his parents had taken him to an amusement park. In that amusement park, he had gotten lost. As to how he separated from his parents, Zhou Xu couldn’t remember. As he tried to recall the incident again from the beginning, he seemed to have forgotten everything once again.

The war was imminent, Zhou Xu decided to let go of his doubts and solve this interstellar great war first.

Half an hour later, the two sides met at the outskirts of the planet. The opposite side never thought that they would be intercepted halfway, so their original aggressive assault immediately turned into a passive battle. Moreover, they didn’t have any preparation at all, so they could only rush the mechas out of the warehouse.

They only discovered that there were already dozens of mechas waiting for them outside after they had deployed their mechas.

They absolutely did not have any time to react. The other mecha that had been hidden by them appeared in the other area, but they didn’t expect that as soon as that mecha appeared, it was completely surrounded. Zhou Xu’s intuition was very accurate.

For a time, in the vast outskirts of the planet, only specks of light could be seen. The raiders became the victims, broken fragments of mechas flew around, and in order to save their own life, the losers could only discard their mechas and run back to their battleships, not daring to come out again.

A so-called interstellar ambush was unexpectedly settled within an hour.

The people from Ox Star fled with their tail between their legs. Mu Xinhua drove the mecha and went to the interstellar coordinates that Zhou Xu had spoken about. With a glance, he discovered that the red mecha Zhou Xu piloted was just like an eagle — as long as it was deemed a target within this interstellar area, they could not dream to escape.

In a split-second, Zhou Xu had already made the other mecha driver drop their helmet and armor. Zhou Xu once again became a hero in this battle.

All four warships returned to port and none of them were destroyed. A total of 180 mechas went to war and only two of them received damage, the rest were unharmed. This battle, they won it beautifully.

From discovering the enemies’ situation to the final defeat of the opponents, and then the return trip–everything added together didn’t exceed four hours. After these four hours, Zhou Xu was awarded first class medals by the four marshals of the Empire, and at the same time, once again breaking the rules, promoted Zhou Xu to senior colonel.

The people who originally looked down on Zhou Xu because he was a youngster and because he was Mu Xinhua’s lover had completely changed their view. Zhou Xu was already like a bug in this world, and was considered a god in people’s eyes.

Wu Mingdi also no longer dared to despise Zhou Xu. However, he was very dissatisfied. Because Zhou Xu was a senior colonel, his military rank was higher than Wu Mingdi’s colonel rank.

Wu Mingdi may not dare continue to despise Zhou Xu, but his hostility towards Zhou Xu was still as serious as ever.

This hasty and turbulent day was ending. When Zhou Xu was about to starve to death, he was hit with a fist on his forehead.

“Little bastard, you’re really capable.” The one speaking had a girl’s voice, melodious and clear, it was very familiar to Zhou Xu. He liked it a lot.

Looking back, Zhou Xu smiled slightly and said, “Jie, when did you come back?”

Zhou Liang stretched her hand and pinched Zhou Xu’s cheeks, “You still have the nerve to call me Jie?”

“It hurts, Jie.”

In an instant, the corner of his eyes reddened. In this world, he still hadn’t felt what pain was like, but in the end, he felt it this time. His sister had really used all her strength. When she let go, his face turned red.

“Jie, how could you do that?” Zhou Xu massaged his aching cheek, secretly wiping his eyes in passing. He was afraid that if his tears really fell, then he really would be losing face.

A senior colonel cried because of the pain from having his cheek pinched. If this was told outside, it would be strange if people didn’t laugh to death.

It was in this way that Zhou Xu was taken home by his elder sister. After hearing that his officially wedded wife had gone home, Mu Xinhua turned his head and asked one of his men, “When you pay a visit to your in-laws, what gifts do you usually bring?”

The subordinate was sweating a lot. Even though he was indeed a man, because he had only just graduated from the military academy, he didn’t know.

After learning that Zhou Xu returned home, one of the military top brass waved his hand and took the initiative to apply for a half month leave in Zhou Xu’s stead. It was Zhou Xu’s eldest brother, Zhou Yang, who mentioned this matter to him.

“Xiao Xu, I saw your application for 15 days of leave.”

“My application for leave? I didn’t write a request for leave.”

“One of the mashals, the left marshal wrote it for you, and also specially imitated your handwriting.”

Zhou Xu: “…”

Zhou Yang laughed and said, “It seems my little brother is really popular.”

Like the previous world, this world’s Zhou Yang was still gentle and strong-hearted. Like Zhou Jing, he liked Zhou Xu very much. Zhou Bin, Zhou Xu’s second brother, was the stoic type of person. Basically, he would barely say anything all day long.

The relationship between the four people was excellent. During the two years where Zhou Xu had left, although his parents didn’t know where he went, Zhou Yang and Zhou Bin were very clear. Because Zhou Xu’s name was simply an existence known to everyone in the imperial squadron. Even if one didn’t want to know, they would also hear it clearly from other’s idle gossip.

In fact, Zhou Yang and Zhou Bin had secretly found Zhou Xu’s military area. After secretly investigating Zhou Xu’s life, they found him living to the fullest. After making sure that he would not be bullied, the two left quietly again. They knew that if Zhou Xu saw their excessive protectiveness, he would probably get angry.

Zhou Xu’s parents had already retired when he was 17 years old, so the two of them didn’t know about Zhou Xu’s enlistment. However, Zhou Xu’s eldest brother, Zhou Yang told them that Zhou Xu was doing very well at the moment, so they didn’t need to worry.

After returning this time, both parents finally knew what Zhou Xu did these last two years, and also realized how great Zhou Xu’s achievements were. As a result, their original doubts were cleared off and the two enthusiastically made delicious food for him. Zhou Xu naturally would not refuse.

Zhou Xu was very happy with this glorious return. It was probably only about playing the piano that Zhou Xu felt that he had let down the original owner. However, if he had to start over again, he would still choose to join the military.

The cool breeze was blowing gently, the stars were shining all over the sky. Zhou Xu and his family members were seated in their small garden, chatting with each other. The time was quiet and peaceful, but there were always some people who didn’t know tact.

“Ding Dong, Ding Dong –”

The doorbell rang. As the youngest in the family, Zhou Xu naturally got up to answer the door.

“Xiao Xu? You came back?” The person outside was still Ding Zhaolin. Zhou Xu felt that he admired Ding Zhaolin a lot. Ding Zhaolin spared no pains nor effort to hang around him, it was really hard on him.

“Do you have any business?” Zhou Xu had one hand on the door, his body blocking the entrance. He was clearly not planning to let Ding Zhaolin into the house.

Ding Zhaolin could also understand Zhou Xu’s meaning, so he awkwardly said, “Zhou Xu, you are my best friend, I always valued you very much. Although I don’t know why, after you woke up and became a Di-er, you were always hostile towards me. But no matter how you are, I still regard you as my best friend and I’m still willing to do anything for you.”

Ding Zhaolin spoke his words so smoothly that Zhou Xu suspected that he recited it from memory. Zhou Xu smilingly said, “Thank you for your one-sided affection. I ask you again, do you have any matters? If not, I will close the door.”

“This is the raspberry jam my mom made, she wanted me to give it to your sister Zhou Jing. You give it to her. I won’t come inside then.”

“Okay, thank your mother on behalf of my sister. Bye.”

Bang —

The door was closed and Ding Zhaolin, who was outside, bowed his head awkwardly. The moonlight was shining on his beautiful face. The shadows on his face were as dark as ink, making him look kind of desolate.

Only in a place where Zhou Xu could not see did Ding Zhaolin secretly sighed a sigh of relief. He didn’t know if the one he wanted to hear had heard or not, but if they heard, would they move according to his thoughts?


T/N : Chapter 62 was actually the first chapter I translated, some sentences sound weird (´∀`;). Plus, I don’t have any knowledge about military stuff and was so confused at how to translate military ranks.

Hehe, Zhou Xu is so afraid of pain, he’s so cuuute. And we have a snapshot of his past, it was real quick though…
