Chapter 438: Chapter 326: Gaining Fame (Five in One)_5

A woman Captain with a ponytail and an oval face, who was quite attractive, said,

"Zhang Bi, you just don’t understand. He’s got connections for sure. Someone must have handed him the credit; otherwise, how could a freshman like him win the second prize when there are senior students from the Imperial Court Academy who are much stronger? It would be odd if there weren’t any tricks involved! And most importantly, the tri-school competition broadcast was cut off halfway through. No one knows what happened afterward."

Deng Yu became more and more excited as he spoke.

At that moment, Su Ming walked up behind Deng Yu with his hands behind his back.

A man with a slightly gaunt face and dark skin, wearing a Captain’s uniform, hurriedly said to Deng Yu,

"Cough cough, Deng Yu, stop talking."

"Qin Heng, why shouldn’t I speak? He is just a beneficiary of nepotism. I’d say it even to his face!"

Deng Yu said disdainfully.

Su Ming listened with interest as Deng Yu talked about him.

Seeing Deng Yu continuing, Qin Heng and the others could only salute and shout,

"Sir!"

Deng Yu was taken aback by Qin Heng and the others, and turned awkwardly to look at Su Ming.

When he saw Su Ming standing behind him, his face immediately darkened.

"Not talking anymore?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the officer, I spoke the truth and don’t think I said anything wrong!"

After hearing Su Ming’s words, Deng Yu gritted his teeth and replied.

Hearing this, Qin Heng and the others felt a chill in their hearts. Deng Yu had thoroughly offended Officer Su Ming now, and he was sure to be in for a rough time. They knew that a higher rank could be a heavy burden.

Su Ming patted Deng Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile, ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Very good, you have guts. I like that. Let’s start the intensive training!"

As Su Ming’s words fell, the officers hurriedly aligned themselves into formation, with Deng Yu taking his place at the front.

Everyone looked towards Su Ming.

Su Ming surveyed the five squad leaders lined up in front. The person on the far left was a middle-aged man about 2.1 meters tall with bushy eyebrows and broad shoulders, wearing a Captain’s uniform, named Dong Zhe. His current profile showed that he was transferred from the Earth Flame Star reserve forces. He used to fight on the battlefield before transferring to the reserve forces due to an injury.

Next to Dong Zhe stood a woman with wheat-colored skin and a high nose, curly flaxen hair, wearing a Captain’s uniform. This woman, Jiang Rong, had previously served in the Fifth Legion and chose not to go to the Neutral Country due to personal reasons, thus voluntarily signing up for the Thirteenth Legion.

Captain Deng Yu, in the middle, was transferred from the Seventh Administrative District on the Third Planet, but other details were unclear.

Qin Heng and Zhang Bi, on the other hand, were drawn from the Eighth Administrative District and Tenth District Defense Team respectively.

"First of all, I don’t need to introduce myself. I believe you all know me already, the so-called ’beneficiary of nepotism.’ Sometimes, being famous has its perks."

"Haha, Officer, although you have a sense of humor, we can’t accept a nepotist. We are skeptical about your capability to instruct us,"

Deng Yu replied with a laughter.

"I also don’t accept it! Only an officer like Hejassi deserves to instruct us!"

Dong Zhe immediately spoke up.

"That’s right!"

Jiang Rong and the others echoed.

Su Ming looked at Deng Yu and his defiant subordinates, feeling that it was high time they were dealt with.

He finally understood why Mia, from the military sector, liked to discipline them—it was the most effective method.

So, Su Ming planned to take them in hand and teach them a lesson.

Su Ming then said with a smile,

"You say I’m not qualified to instruct you? But I feel it’s you who aren’t qualified to be instructed by me."

"Officer, please mind your words."

Qin Heng and the others responded sternly.

"What? Not convinced? Why don’t we have a match?"

Su Ming proposed abruptly.

Deng Yu and the others, unafraid, responded immediately.

"Sure!"

"But just competing is boring. There should be some stakes, right?"

Su Ming said with a broad smile.

"What stakes?"

Deng Yu quickly asked.

"If I win, Zhang Bi, you’ll cook for me for a year; Jiang Rong, you’ll wash my clothes for a year; Dong Zhe, you’ll clean for me for a year; Qin Heng, you’ll run errands for me for a year; and Deng Yu, you’ll clean my Mecha for a year."

Su Ming unapologetically named them one by one.

"And if we win?"

Deng Yu retorted unapologetically.

"If you win, I’ll resign!"

Su Ming dropped the harsh words.

"Really?"

Deng Yu and the others asked eagerly.

"Definitely! Also, don’t say I’m bullying you. We’ll all use Second Generation Flame Knights, and I’ll take on all five of you!"

Su Ming readily agreed.

At this statement, a murmur spread through the crowd.

Deng Yu and the others furrowed their brows and spoke,

"Officer, you’re not joking, right? The same Mecha, and you’re taking on all five of us? Why don’t we go one at a time?"

"No need, all of you come at once to save trouble; my time is very precious!"

Su Ming replied succinctly.

Deng Yu and the others, upon hearing Su Ming’s words, their faces flushed crimson, feeling both belittled and underestimated.

This was clearly a trampling on their dignity, but still, they restrained their anger and said,

"Officer, you wouldn’t be intentionally choosing one against five just to find an excuse for losing later, would you?"

"How could that be! If I can’t beat you five losers, I’ll resign immediately!"

Su Ming waved his hand and said with a smile.
