It was already late June when Zhao Chen's T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser reappeared at North Star Academy.
At this moment, the Starport of North Star Academy was home to the largest number of Interstellar Warship of the year, as many students were graduating and going on holiday, naturally leading to a large gathering of Starships here.
During this time, most Interstellar Warship would hover in the outer space parking area, allowing those who needed to enter the Academy to take a shuttle, because Starship berths were truly scarce!
But who was Zhao Chen?
He was an outstanding student of North Star Academy, and also a big star.
When his T3 Blizzard appeared here, a Starport administrator automatically came to ask if he needed parking services, and when Zhao Chen was about to pay the parking fee, the other party enthusiastically stated that any Starship belonging to Student Zhao Chen could park at the North Star Academy's Starport without any fee.
Zhao Chen inwardly sighed, never expecting to still enjoy such treatment.
Zhao Chen stood on the Bridge, looking down at this Interstellar Academy.
“After this month, I will truly leave this place.”
Although the time he lived at North Star Academy was not very long, it was considered Zhao Chen's starting point in this world.
No matter how long he left before, there would always be a day to return.
But this time, he didn't know when he would return after leaving, and to be honest, he felt a little reluctant.
“What, still reluctant to leave? I think you're reluctant to leave those junior sisters in the Academy, aren't you?” Zhao Wan'er interjected at an inopportune moment.
Zhao Chen coughed: “Speaking of the junior sisters, I actually have one more thing I need you to help me with.”
“What is it?” Zhao Wan'er looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously.
Zhao Chen raised his hand and sent an electronic document to Zhao Wan'er.
Zhao Wan'er glanced at it; it was very familiar.
This was the plan for recruiting Xiaolong Fleet crew members that was sent on the Dwarf Planet before.
“Help me post it in the Academy; the conditions are the same as written above.
Prioritize civilian crew members; it doesn't matter if their qualifications aren't top-notch, as long as they are qualified.” Zhao Chen said.
That's right, Zhao Chen had his eyes on North Star Academy's student body.
Generally speaking, most students graduating from North Star Academy each year would first enter the Imperial Army for a period of training, and then choose their future development direction according to their respective circumstances.
Among them, besides noble students, there were actually more ordinary students, but ordinary students would not pursue majors like the Captain's Department, which had very high 'financial' requirements.
“Hey, hey, when did I become your recruitment manager? And you specifically want to recruit female soldiers.” Zhao Wan'er said with some resistance, especially the part about only recruiting female soldiers.
“By the way, I'll soon have a second T3 Interstellar Warship entering service.” Zhao Chen casually blurted out.
Zhao Wan'er immediately stood up straight, smiling broadly at Zhao Chen: “Brother, leave this matter to me, rest assured!
I guarantee I'll recruit a bunch of excellent crew members for you!
This... the newly commissioned T3 Interstellar Warship... as the saying goes, don't let good things go to outsiders...”
Looking at Zhao Wan'er's fawning expression.
Sure enough, there was nothing that couldn't be solved with an Interstellar Warship.
“Then it depends on your attitude towards handling things.” Zhao Chen smiled.
“I'll go arrange it right away!” Zhao Wan'er prepared to leave the Starship without another word to handle this matter.
She even contacted several of her good friends to help her, in order to maximize the effect.
“There are still a few days until the graduation ceremony.
I might as well take a good stroll around this 'alma mater'; perhaps there won't be such an opportunity again in the future.” Before leaving the Starship, Zhao Chen specifically changed into an outfit that could conceal his figure, and also wore a hat and sunglasses.
The terrifying scene of him almost being 'devoured' by female students °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° when he returned to North Star Academy was still vivid in his mind.
This time, he had to be more careful.
After changing, although Zhao Chen noticed many people were attracted to the T3 Blizzard, fortunately, his departure was not discovered by them.
The entire North Star Academy was very large, with teaching areas, residential areas, and even leisure and entertainment areas.
It could be described as a small Interstellar City.
Zhao Chen wandered into an artificial park, where many couples were enjoying their leisurely time.
“Ouch!”
“What's wrong with you, you old geezer, are you blind?! Didn't you see you ran over my girlfriend's foot, and you also stained my girlfriend's clothes! What do you say, how are you going to handle this?!”
A corner of the park, a quarrel was heard.
Zhao Chen subconsciously looked over, only to see a couple pointing and cursing an old man in a wheelchair, with a teenage little girl protecting the old man in front of her.
There was an overturned bottle of drink by the girl's feet, and her clothes were stained with liquid; she looked unhappy.
Seeing this, the boy became even more enraged and reprimanded the old man and the child in front of him.
The little girl kept apologizing and trying to explain.
But the couple's voices completely drowned out the little girl's voice, and the little girl was so anxious she was almost crying.
The old man in the wheelchair opened his mouth, also very anxious, but couldn't say anything.
Zhao Chen looked at the little girl, feeling a bit familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
“I'm sorry... I... we didn't see you... please don't scold my grandma anymore... we didn't do it on purpose... I'm sorry...” The little girl, with red and swollen eyes, defended her grandma.
“Sorry? Just a sorry and it's over?
Oh, an old geezer, and wearing some kind of medal? Is it a medal awarded by the Empire? Must be fake.” The boy saw a medal pinned to the old man's chest, directly pushed away the girl in front of him, and took it off.
“Wuwuwu...” The old grandma became agitated, wanting to retrieve her medal.
“That's my grandma's military medal, please give it back to me!” The little girl was completely frantic now.
But her slender physique was insignificant in front of the boy.
“Military medal? This piece of junk, bought from a street vendor, right.” The boy sneered, and the girl beside him chuckled lightly.
Then, the boy directly ignored the little girl's pleading, threw the medal to the ground, and raised his foot to step on it.
A hand appeared at the boy's chest at some unknown moment, a seemingly gentle push.
The boy directly retreated several steps.
The man wearing a hat and sunglasses knelt down, picked up the medal, and gently brushed off the dust.
“Old grandma, I'll help you put it back on.” The man half-knelt in front of the wheelchair, personally putting the medal back on the old grandma.
Seeing the medal return to her chest, the old grandma's agitated emotions finally stabilized; her bony hand slowly rose, gripping the medal tightly.
The boy looked at the man in front of him, wearing a hat and fully covered, and he frowned, shouting: “Kid, I advise you not to meddle!
This old geezer is blind, his wheelchair ran over my girlfriend's foot! And he stained my girlfriend's clothes!”
“Are your girlfriend's feet and clothes very precious?” The man in the hat said coldly.
“Of course they are much more precious than this old geezer!” The boy said disdainfully.
“Can they be more important than this Imperial Baiyun Medal, which symbolizes this old lady's honor from participating in the 2955 Baiyun Star System Defense War?” The man in the hat looked up, staring at the boy.
“What Baiyun Star System Defense War?” The boy muttered.
“In 2955, the Mechanical Race launched a highly threatening attack, with Mechanical Starship fleets separately attacking several military bases located on the Starlight Empire's border.
Among them, the military base in the Baiyun Star System was crucial, as it had a military Star Gate connecting the Starlight Empire's front line with two other imperial front lines.
But the Star Gate was damaged due to the Mechanical Race fleet's sneak attack.
It needed a full week for repairs.
The Baiyun Star System Commander issued an order to the fleets below to defend the Baiyun Star System for one week.
A Legion Fleet, three thousand Interstellar Warship!
Facing a Mechanical Race fleet several times their size, tens of thousands of Starships, they fought to the death and did not retreat!
Finally, with a battle damage rate of over 95% for the entire fleet, they held out until the Star Gate was repaired and reinforcements arrived!
At that time, out of over two million Imperial Army soldiers stationed in the Baiyun Star System, only less than ten thousand survived!
The Imperial Royal Family specially awarded these ten thousand people the Imperial Baiyun Medal!”
The man in the hat closed in on the boy, took off his sunglasses, revealing eyes like a hawk: “Forget your girlfriend's feet, even your life is not as important as this old lady's medal!”
“You're Zhao Chen!” The girl next to him covered her mouth, showing a surprised expression.
