Chapter 395: Chapter 395: The Origins of Sheng An
Adolf already had a deep sense of foreboding about this Commander’s wife!
Every time she visited, he would lose more than a dozen hairs.
With each one lost, there was one less!
After all, every appearance of this Commander’s wife always heralded some extremely distressing event!
Therefore, the look he gave Su Wan was tinged with a bit of sorrow.
An inquisitive mark slowly surfaced in the depths of Su Wan’s eyes.
She hadn’t offended this esteemed admiral before... right?
The interstellar warriors from the two starship fleets were assigned dormitories according to their squad memberships.
It was ten o’clock now, and the assessment would begin at one in the afternoon.
This was different from the previous military training.
This time, the assessment would test them in various aspects: physical ability, intelligence, spiritual power, and finally, team combat.
Su Wan shared a dormitory with Pandora and Sheng An.
Pandora was already rubbing her hands together eagerly.
She planned to perform well during the assessment to score extra points for her squad!
Meanwhile, Sheng An sat there, looking at her datapad, which had lost its signal.
The signal was always blocked at the Training Star Base.
Su Wan walked over to her. "Have you contacted Zhuo Yun?"
Sheng An nodded. "He has an elder’s blood sample there. As soon as I return to the main star, we can do a gene comparison. Zhuo Yun said that his elder once suffered from memory loss. It was only after a medical check-up that they discovered she had given birth to a child. For many years, she has been searching for that child."
Gene banks can perform gene comparisons.
However, the gene banks of each planet are not open to the public.
Zhuo Yun’s elder had only searched on Yuanyi Planet but never found anything.
They once thought the child might no longer be alive.
That was until Zhuo Yun saw Sheng An.
Su Wan: "Let’s wait for the gene comparison results once we return before discussing further. Don’t overthink it for now, so it doesn’t affect the assessment."
Sheng An nodded. "Yes, it won’t affect me. Also, there’s another thing..."
"What?"
"Zhuo Yun said that his elder mentioned that if they found the child and it was a boy, he would become brothers with Zhuo Yun. If it was a girl, she would... marry Zhuo Yun."
Sheng An spoke with a mix of laughter and tears.
What was this?
Finding a family member only to immediately gain a fiancé?
Su Wan also paused for a few seconds, but then she recalled that Zhuo Yun was quite handsome, and since Gu Jue trusted him, his character wouldn’t be bad either.
And he was a goose-type beastman.
Nevertheless...
Su Wan patted Sheng An’s shoulder. "Don’t overthink it. Maybe you are not that child. And I know you’re not the type to accept an arranged marriage."
The few friends Su Wan knew, none were characters to accept an arranged marriage.
Not Luo Jina, not Pandora, and definitely not Sheng An.
Sheng An took a deep breath.
She said, "You’re right, everything is just speculation now. We’ll see after the gene comparison is done."
"Yes."
Su Wan did not go to find Gu Jue again before the afternoon contest began.
She knew that the incident of the Insectoids infiltrating the Royal Star Fleet had made Gu Jue very angry.
The cold and imposing Commander Gu faced Shang Zhuo, whose face looked terrible.
Gu Jue: "I know you were unaware of this matter, but Shang Zhuo, do you remember what I told you when I first recruited you into the Royal Star Fleet?"
Cold sweat was on Shang Zhuo’s forehead.
He nodded. "I remember. You said to be absolutely loyal to the Federal Empire. I really didn’t know that Hiber was such a person, I..."
Gu Jue straightened his white gloves, his eyes half-lowered. "A Star Warrior’s individual ability is important, but their character is even more so. Lucifer is formidable, but do you think someone of his character could enter our fleet?"
"No..."
"Go, and use whatever method you need. Before the test, reevaluate the members of the nine squads under your command. Anyone with character issues is to be immediately dismissed from the Seventh Starship Fleet."
Shang Zhuo’s mouth twitched.
Their Starship Fleet was already down four people.
That didn’t even count those who had taken leave.
If they were to weed out a few more... surely they wouldn’t eliminate too many... right?
Just then, Agros also walked in and gave Gu Jue a military salute.
Gu Jue said, "Agros, the same goes for the Eighth Starship Fleet. Anyone with the same character as Hiber must be removed from the team immediately, put on the main brain’s blacklist, and banned from the military forever."
"Yes, sir!"
The two walked out side by side.
Shang Zhuo was somewhat distressed, "It looks like this screening has to be more stringent, and time is pressing. Agros, how about we discuss this and try to end up with roughly the same number of people? Otherwise, if you have more and we have less, it wouldn’t be a fair victory, would it?"
"The Eighth Starship Fleet originally has more people."
"What do you mean?"
Agros looked at him. "Because I can guarantee that there’s no one like that Hiber in my fleet."
Shang Zhuo: "..."
Seriously, how annoying this stern guy is!
Right in the face.
But importantly, his Starship Fleet had produced a Hiber, and then there were three more idiots infected with Poisonous Insects.
For the moment, Shang Zhuo had no rebuttal for Agros.
He felt like he’d been slapped hard!
Eventually, he scoffed at Agros’s departing figure, "Arrogant fool, just wait and see how my Seventh Starship Fleet defeats you!"
**
Training Star Base, one o’clock in the afternoon.
The physical fitness assessment began.
Su Wan stood in the crowd and noticed that the team of the Seventh Starship Fleet was much shorter.
Sheng An whispered, "It’s said that they began an emergency screening, kicking out anyone with a character like Hiber’s."
Su Wan had an epiphany.
No wonder.
The Probationary Commander of the Seventh Starship Fleet, Shang Zhuo, looked extremely upset.
But the incident with Hiber had a bad impact, and if it weren’t for Su Wan’s quick response, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
So, Shang Zhuo had to seriously weed out the team.
Agros stood by his side and said softly, "Don’t be too depressed. I heard that even the main fleet had to go through a new round of selection."
Shang Zhuo looked at Agros in surprise.
Agros continued, "Moreover, two Starship Fleets demoted their Commanders from official to Probationary because there were too many such people in their ranks."
Which meant, if the two of them passed this assessment.
Then, they wouldn’t be at the bottom among the Commanders in the Royal Starship Fleet.
Shang Zhuo was instantly motivated!
Su Wan noticed that after the two Probationary Commanders whispered to each other, their fighting spirit was instantly restored.
She turned and whispered to Sheng An, "I wonder when we’ll have the chance to test for Probationary Commander."
Sheng An was stunned.
Su Wan looked at her surprised expression and smiled gently.
Su Wan had always lived naturally, tackling each task with great earnestness and effort.
That was true when she ran the Su Family restaurant.
And it was true now as she worked hard to be a good Star Warrior.
She didn’t know whether she would become a Commander in the future, but she would still strive to do her best in everything.
That way, life would be meaningful, wouldn’t it?
The starting pistol sound echoed.
The physical fitness assessment began!
