Chapter 407: Chapter 321: Triumphant Return (Five-in-One)_5

Tang Ying saw Su Ming come out and quickly asked,

"Mr. Su Ming, have you finished your business?"

"Yeah!"

"Is there anything else I can assist you with?"

"I want to withdraw money."

Su Ming directly took out two unregistered black cards.

"Alright, please follow me, I’ll take you to the VIP room."

Tang Ying’s tone grew even more respectful.

"Good!"

Su Ming nodded slightly.

...

Evening.

Imperial Court Academy·Library

Su Ming was sorting through his pen, all the large income and expenses of this period.

Income:

Polaris membership introduction fee: 1M

Energy Crystal Veins: 1.16 billion Federation Coins (half goes to Teacher Mia)

Consigned items: 13.5M Federation Coins.

Black card of the King of Baisitan: 500M

Black card of Vice Principal Fleck: 500M

Black Flame Society·Vox black card: 1 billion

Teacher Mia: 2 billion

Income from selling ores: 1.5 billion

Expenses:

Black Flame Star scavenging: 1.2M

...

Mecha maintenance and servicing fees: 223M

...

Miscellaneous expenses: Several

Su Ming glanced at the rough tally sheet and then at the 63.7 billion balance on his bank card and fell silent.

Although there should be 580 million Federation Coins that belong to Teacher Mia and 1 billion to repay his family, the remaining money was also quite considerable.

However, Su Ming didn’t seem happy at all.

Because Rhein and the others began to return to normal, following the training of the courses left by Teacher Mia.

But only he couldn’t train, because what Teacher Mia left him was the "Light Speed Fold Flash" technique.

To practice Light Speed Fold Flash, he needed a Fourth Generation Pure Mechanical Mecha equipped with a NOCY·Super Neural Device.

The problem is he can’t afford one! And there’s nowhere to buy it either. Even the NOCY·Super Neural Device is controlled and can’t be purchased.

But Su Ming quickly adjusted his mindset, after all, the journey is taken one step at a time, it’s not realistic to become fat in one gulp.

Thinking this, Su Ming stopped dwelling on it and stood up to leave.

...

Early next morning.

A1 District, Federation Government·Military Building.

A black hover taxi stopped at the curb outside.

Su Ming got out of the car and saw, facing him, a building hundreds of meters tall, constructed entirely of silver metal, shaped like a shell, and incredibly majestic.

At the entrance gate of the Military Building stood soldiers, tall and solemn, dressed in Second Generation Exoskeleton Armor·Rock Steel.

Su Ming walked straight forward, and as he reached the gate, a team leader stretched out a hand to stop him, asking politely,

"This is the Federation Military Department, please show your credentials and state your purpose!"

Su Ming took out his Imperial Court Academy student card and handed it over.

"I’m a student from the Imperial Court Academy and I’m here to process my military rank."

"Please come in!"

After checking the student card information, the team leader saluted Su Ming.

Usually, those from the Imperial Court Academy who come here to process their military ranks are at least at Lieutenant level.

"Thank you!"

Su Ming entered through the Military Building gates and walked towards the building.

As he approached the front of the Military Building, he saw unpretentious hover cars parked at the entrance, bearing license plates like SX0006.

It was evident that the owners of these cars were all people of extraordinary status.

However, Su Ming didn’t dwell on it, and stepped up the stairs on his way into the building.

Soon Su Ming arrived in the hall; the Military Department hall was decorated modestly but was very spacious and imposing.

The hall had a ceiling fifty meters high, the floor was laid with black mechanical tiles that were spotless.

In corners were unobtrusive green plants and some resting chairs and promotional posters.

Although it was early morning, the hall was still lively and you could see personnel in military uniforms conversing in low tones.

Su Ming looked around and headed towards the number 1 comprehensive service window in the hall.

As he walked past, many of the conversing personnel glanced at Su Ming and whispered among themselves.

"Who’s that young man? Looks somewhat familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere."

"Don’t know him, probably not someone from our Military Department. Those who come here for business usually wear military uniforms."

"Yeah."

...

Su Ming paid no mind to the discussions of those nearby and walked straight up to the window.

"Good morning, sir, how may I assist you?"

A girl in a work uniform with bright eyes and a pleasant demeanor asked.

Su Ming looked at her name tag, which read: Qin Yan, then he spoke up.

"Miss Qin Yan, I’m a student from the Imperial Court Academy, I’m here to convert credits into military rank."

"No problem, just show me your ID card and student card."

Qin Yan replied with a smile.

Su Ming took out his ID card and student card and handed them to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan took them and swiped them through a device to read the information for confirmation.

When she saw Su Ming’s age and his credits, she looked shocked and stammered,

"You’re only 19 years old and have 1012 credits? You’re exchanging them for the rank of major?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"Sir, please wait a moment, I’m unable to process this, I’ll call a supervisor."

Qin Yan quickly picked up the phone to call for a supervising officer.

Processing a 19-year-old for the rank of major, she even doubted if the information was correct; it seemed too incredible.

"Alright!"

Su Ming waited patiently.

It didn’t take long for a middle-aged man in captain’s uniform, slightly plump and wearing glasses, to come out from the internal office to the window.

"Qin Yan, what’s the matter?"

"Supervisor Zhou Shao, you take a look yourself!"

Qin Yan addressed Zhou Shao.

Zhou Shao walked over to the computer, paused as he saw the information, then lifted his head to look at Su Ming.
