Chapter 293: Chapter 291: What He Picks Up, Is His!
Chexus reached out and took it.
The materials listed contained many rare metals, all of which were extremely expensive. Chexus looked at Laxia, noticed his uncertain expression, and deduced that even Laxia knew the materials requested were excessive.
“Paxter Military Academy is a shell institution recently registered by the Free Star Independent Military District; you are temporary students hired by the Independent Military District.”
Sally didn’t know how to reply. Did being a shell school mean they couldn’t compete? Without responding to Chexus, she turned to look at Laxia.
Laxia nodded, not denying the truth, “In the past, the Independent Military District has also participated in competitions this way.”
“In the first round, these shell academies will be wiped out,” Doronite said, his dark brown eyes sizing up Sally more and more approvingly.
Chexus asked Sally, “How much money did the Independent Military District give you?”
Sally answered, “Just enough for food and drink; otherwise, we wouldn’t have come here seeking financial support.”
“Be my girlfriend, and I’ll give you any amount,” Doronite said, his eyes blazing as he looked at Sally.
“But to be my boyfriend, you’re not qualified enough,” Sally replied without hesitation.
She then tugged at Laxia and politely greeted Instructor Willy before leaving.
Doronite wasn’t upset by the rejection; on the contrary, he was happier, “I’ve set my sights on her!”
Chexus’s eyes, narrow and arching upward at the ends, swept over Doronite for an instant but said nothing.
Instructor Willy, seeing all the students in the training field had lost focus, clapped his hands sharply and barked, “Continue practicing!”
Suddenly everyone returned to their pre-competition mode, yet the subject of the Variant Human female kept coming up in conversation…
Sally and Laxia walked back.
Through the System Map, they discovered two other individuals from the Imperial Military District following them, clad in special camouflage military uniforms, their gaze cold and alert.
“Sally, are you really a Variant Human?” Laxia was still somewhat in disbelief.
“Yes,” Sally replied. “Aren’t you?”
“I’m not. Otherwise, my mom wouldn’t have left me behind. My brother is amazing, he’s a ‘Money Leopard’.”
“Oh? Why aren’t you a Variant Human? I thought the offspring of Variants were also Variants, right?”
“My mother is a Half Alien, which means there’s a chance she could have Variant children, but there’s also a fifty percent chance they’re just regular humans.”
“There are Half Aliens too?”
“Yeah. Half Aliens are created by injecting normal humans with a drug that can trigger mutation. There’s a certain probability of evolving into a Half Alien. But this drug has significant side effects; it shortens lifespan.”
“…Being normal is pretty good too, why bother becoming a Variant?”
“To fight against the Insect Beasts. Normal humans stand no chance against Insect Beasts.”
“How can they not stand a chance?” Sally disagreed, “What humans excel in is not physical strength, but the brain, human creativity! In the beginning of the Star World, wasn’t it ordinary humans who came to this star domain and developed it? Even Mechas can be piloted by normal people.”
“But only Variants can command and control Mecha Soldiers. Moreover, Variant humans with a talent for command are one in ten thousand among pure Variants. Those with high spiritual power are even rarer. Not to mention, in this year’s Yago Cup, it’s likely to be Xinghuang Military School’s for the taking again, because they have S-grade commander Chexus Aslanda.”
“Our commander isn’t bad either,” Sally considered, thinking of Luky’s face that so resembled Zulu’s, “He’s also one in ten thousand.”
“But Luky’s physical fitness is too good, his spiritual power probably isn’t that high.”
“Looks can be deceiving. Let’s take me for example. If I didn’t test for Sensing Power, would you know I’m a Variant?”
“True, hehe~ Don’t forget about me when you make it big,” Laxia said, rubbing his hands together with an ingratiating look in his eyes.
Sally laughed, “Where am I going to make it big? I’m barely getting by with food.”
“You don’t think those two soldiers behind us have come to escort me, do you?” Laxia had also sharply sensed the soldiers following them.
Sally looked back.
Noticing they had been spotted, the two men stopped trying to hide.
“We were sent by His Highness to escort the two students.”
“Hmm, please thank His Highness for his kindness on our behalf. We’re approaching our military district, you can go back now.”
“We’ll leave once you’ve entered the gates of the military district.”
Sally and Laxia exchanged glances, then quickened their pace in unison.
In no time, they arrived at the residence of the Independent Military District.
Only then did the two soldiers leave.
However, on Sally’s System Map, she noticed they had just hidden themselves and hadn’t really left.
Luky was already waiting for them. Seeing that they returned empty-handed, he wasn’t surprised.
But he still asked, “How did it go?”
“The supplies, I don’t think there’s much of a problem, but…” Laxia glanced at Sally. The news of a female Variant Human would definitely explode throughout the military district by tomorrow.
“I’m tired, I need to go to sleep, we’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.” Sally yawned, and in doing so, her top inevitably lifted to reveal a small stretch of her enticing, snow-white and jade-like waistline.
Luky saw this and hurriedly averted his eyes.
Laxia’s eyes widened, but soon Luky covered them…
Sally then noticed her short top, smiled, and continued, “Let’s go grocery shopping together tomorrow.”
“Good, goodnight,” Luky responded.
Sally went upstairs.
Laxia pulled Luky’s hand away, “You’re about to pop your eyeballs out.”
“It’s impolite to stare, don’t you know that?” Luky released him.
“Got it.” Laxia felt he had been a bit inappropriate just now, which is why he let Luky cover his eyes.
“You didn’t finish what you were saying earlier. What happened?” Luky asked.
…
Back in her room, Sally immediately noticed Xiaoba, whom she had placed on the bed.
On the golden eggshell, the small golden dragon realized she was back and swam around happily.
Sally hurried over, apologizing, “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Mommy forgot about you. Let Mommy give you a kiss~”
Saying this, she covered the eggshell with ‘smooches~’, and the little golden dragon was extremely happy. Wherever Sally kissed, it swam over there.
The mother and child enjoyed their kissing game immensely.
Eventually, Sally slept with Xiaoba in her arms.
In her dreams, she played joyfully with her children, a happy smile creeping onto her face as she slept…
As for Luky and Laxia downstairs, they weren’t so lucky.
Chexus personally brought over supplies that same night, even more than what Laxia had listed.
Moreover, he had obtained permission to temporarily stay in the Independent Military District.
“Prince Nine is doing this for Sally, isn’t he?” Luky said, knowing full well that Sally already had children. But with Chexus’s status, looks, and S-grade command talent, he might yet sway her to change men…
Chexus surveyed the dilapidated training field and ordered a new one to be built outside right away.
“Correct,” Chexus replied, “She’s already mine.”
That day, after the white mouse ran away from the Shuttler, he did go looking for it… but found nothing at all. The only thing captured by the surveillance camera was a white mouse running swiftly away along the base of the wall.
If he had picked it up from a garbage heap, then it belonged to him!
