Chapter 46: Uncle’s Gossip
Shi An’an was too surprised and thanked Gao Si very gratefully.
“Eldest Brother Gao Si, thank you so much!”
Gao Si blushed slightly and scratched his head. “No need to thank me. This was just something I did in passing.”
“It might be something you did in passing, but it really helps me a lot!”
Shi An’an looked at this mountain. Many soldiers were lying on the ground sleeping directly, with relaxed smiles on their faces.
The spirit stones in this mountain were almost depleted. That queen insect probably consumed quite a few spirit stones back then.
Those larvae burrowed into the spirit stones and also consumed quite a few, though in the end, they benefited her.
The ones left in the end, she decided to leave right here to support the growth of these green plants.
With these spirit stones, the green plants on this mountain would automatically absorb and exhale spiritual energy, forming a cycle.
The toxins in the air wouldn’t be able to enter either.
It might even gradually purify the surrounding air bit by bit!
So, those few spirit stone points that Gao Si and the others found really helped her a lot.
However, building an entire planet would never be enough with just these few spirit stone points. In the end, she would still need Lin Jinmo’s help.
Speaking of Lin Jinmo, Shi An’an suddenly remembered that military training ended today. How would she get back…
“Eldest Brother Gao Si, military training ends today. Should I leave with you all, or go back with my classmates?”
Gao Si smiled and said, “The head instructed us before leaving. This time, we’ll leave with the students and escort you back to Capital Star before returning to the team!”
An Yi meant that if danger was encountered on the way, the primary task was to protect the students, and most importantly, to protect An’an!!!
After hearing this, Shi An’an was no longer anxious.
Military Training Base
At this time, everyone had already assembled and was ready to set off.
Lin Xi looked at the students with upright postures, somewhat dissatisfied. This year’s military training was too easy!!!
If not for the discovery of the Insectoid Race, he would have trained these students until their skin peeled off layers ago!
For their safety, for an entire month, they only trained and competed inside the base, with no chance to take them out for field combat.
Only today did he receive the message that the crisis on H11 Star had been lifted.
“Today, your military training is about to end. In the end, there’s still one task waiting for you to complete!”
“When you came, due to some sudden situation, your competition was interrupted. Now that the crisis has been lifted, make up that competition now.”
“The competition content remains the same. The assembly point has been sent to your optical computers. First to arrive gets points reward! Competition, start!” After Lin Xi finished speaking, he turned and left.
He had to go find An’an. This morning, he saw the photo He Rui gave him. That mountain was too beautiful! He wanted to go visit it!!!
He Rui was also extremely anxious. Seeing Lin Xi leave, he quickly arranged for other instructors to protect in secret, then hurriedly followed.
“Huh? It started already?” The students looked dumbfounded at the instructors who flew off quickly in aircraft.
“What are the instructors doing? Why so urgent?”
“No idea? Quick, check where our destination is?”
After a month of training, they had completely changed. They executed tasks immediately upon seeing them.
Meanwhile, Sheng Rong, Shi Anxin, Shi Lele, and Lin Jinmo had already quietly left the team and gathered together.
They received An’an’s message and the photo this morning.
They had been impatient for a long time!
“Hurry! Hurry!” Lin Jinmo urged in a low voice.
“Coming, coming!”
Shi Lele was full of joy. “An’an is so amazing. In one month, she turned a mountain of just stones into a forest!”
Shi Anxin nodded proudly. “Yeah, my younger sister is very capable!”
Shi Lele choked, silently chanting in her heart, “My older sister is capable!”
Sheng Rong quickly ran while checking the route. “Let’s get there early and meet up with An’an. I most want to see that patch of wisteria that An’an planted!”
“Yeah. It’s already so beautiful in the photo. I wonder if it’s even more beautiful up close!” Shi Lele looked yearning.
“Hurry up, don’t let the people behind catch up. We’ll take this route—it’s the shortest!” Sheng Rong had already found the shortest route.
“Okay, you lead, we’ll follow you!”
In one month, the four had become very familiar.
Every time they teamed up for competitions, the four of them formed a team and already had great chemistry.
Shi An’an received word that Shi Anxin and the others were on their way and was very happy. At the same time, she felt a bit regretful that she couldn’t join them for military training.
This month, she heard some interesting stories from Xu Li and the others about their past military training and yearned for it.
“Hey, do you think the head will run into her when we go back this time…”
A group sat together, with endless topics.
Shi An’an’s sharp ears caught someone mentioning her uncle’s name. All the yearning and regret vanished instantly as she perked up her ears to listen.
“Definitely. When the head took over our Ninth Legion back then, I heard that person chased after him too, but he drove her away!”
“I saw with my own eyes that she was wiping tears when she left!”
“Aww, how could the head be so heartless? She came all this way chasing him, and he drove her away!”
“Exactly. The head is so old and still single. I think that person is quite pretty!”
……
At this time, Shi An’an’s mind already pictured a scene of you chasing me, me dodging you!
Shi An’an quickly contributed her sunflower seeds, distributing them to everyone. They gathered together, cracking seeds, and continued listening.
“Thanks, An’an. These sunflower seeds are really tasty!” Gao Si sat next to Shi An’an, thanking her shyly.
Shi An’an waved casually. “If they’re tasty, eat more. I have more if these run out. Help yourself!” Her ears continued listening to everyone gossip about her uncle.
“Who are you talking about? How come I don’t know?” A new soldier in the legion didn’t know who the female lead of their discussion was and asked curiously.
Xu Li glanced at Shi An’an, whose eyes were shining and ears perked up, and found it amusing. After a month together, they knew this girl loved listening to stories—no matter what, she could listen with great interest.
To listen to gossip, she specially ripened a lot of sunflowers and had them roasted for her, cracking seeds while listening.
Xu Li cracked the sunflower seed in his hand. No kidding, this pairing was perfect!
“I heard it’s some high official’s daughter.”
“High official? How high?” Someone voiced the doubt in Shi Anxin’s heart.
“Cough, no idea on that. Just heard she’s probably of high status, pretty high up.”
“Oh, then why didn’t our head accept that girl?”
Shi An’an nodded repeatedly. Yeah, why not accept her?
“No idea. Maybe… the head doesn’t like her?” The speaker scratched his head.
