Chapter 513: Unaware of the Depth of the Water

Everyone was slightly stunned, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause, which instantly shattered the atmosphere A Youyou had been building up for so long. There was no helping it; the goddess was here, and they couldn't hold back. There was no need to worry about disobedience either; whenever she issued a task, everyone would work as if they had been injected with adrenaline. As for her ability, she was the Starship S Tournament Champion, and everyone present was a loser to her—what was there to be unconvinced about?

A Youyou did not remain overly stiff, her expression softening slightly. "This unit of ours belongs to the reserve team. Captain Elena has tasked us with learning and training, polishing away the raw edges of military school, and preparing for combat. To facilitate the training and combat ahead, I am going to appoint two Vice Captains to assist with my daily work. Anluo Dan."

Anluo Dan raised his head, his gaze filled with pride, and stepped forward. "Yes, Officer!" "You are responsible for the starship-related training," A Youyou said, "and you must be impartial."

"Understood, Officer!" A smile of self-assurance appeared on Anluo's face, while he glanced at Gelan. This kid had just been competing with him—dream on. The position of First Vice Captain was definitely his; this guy would always be stuck trailing behind him.

"Li Hao." Although A Youyou's voice was very steady, Li Hao could still sense a pause in it. "Yes, Officer!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Hao stepped forward.

"You are responsible for the space Mecha training. You must train them ruthlessly. There are currently dozens of reserve teams, and I want the strongest one!" "Understood, Officer!" Li Hao saluted, suppressing the urge to fidget. Honestly, she really was cool.

Maxis and the others didn't find it too surprising; with Li Hao's strength, he was more than qualified for this role. "Report, Officer!" Gelan suddenly said loudly.

"Speak."

Gelan stepped forward. "Officer, I believe Li Hao's ability lies in ground Mecha. He is a novice at space combat and cannot fulfill the duties of a Vice Captain. This is my personal opinion, Officer!"

A Youyou glanced at Gelan indifferently. "The appointment has already been issued. Those who are unconvinced have over a month before we reach Kepler. There is enough time for verification—the capable rise, the weak fall."

"Yes, Officer!" Gelan said loudly, his voice filled with defiance, and he glared fiercely at Li Hao.

Being behind Anluo, he was unconvinced but had to accept it, but being told to work under an Earthling bumpkin was absolutely unacceptable.

Ground Mecha focused primarily on various environments for landing battles. While they claimed to have space combat, it was basically just for show; the entire S Tournament hadn't featured a single space battlefield. As for the Starship Department, aside from commanding fleet battles, a significant portion involved space combat—that is, operations in weightlessness and near-planetary orbits. It could be said that these were completely different combat styles.

The S Tournament Champion—how should one put it in the starship circle? It wasn't the same level; they looked down on it.

Most of the Elites from the Starship Department present showed expressions of anticipation. There were only four outsiders here, and they didn't know how they had been transferred here. Position determined the right to speak; what right did the Mecha Department have to come to the Starship Department and compete with them?

This expedition was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to gild their resumes, and the appearance of Arths had brought their excitement to a climax. Who wasn't putting in their all, wanting to show off? What if, just maybe, they could win the beauty's heart?

That would be a total life winner, a chosen child of heaven.

Watching the group of baring-fanged starship students, Maxis, Basta, and Dumela couldn't help but laugh. These people really didn't know how deep the water was for the person in front of them.

"Dismissed. Li Hao and Anluo, stay behind," Arths said indifferently. She had to maintain a cold demeanor, otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to suppress these unruly experts.

The others left reluctantly. Anluo had a look of triumph on his face; ever since he learned he would be on the same starship as Arths on the Kuangfeng, he had been looking forward to it. If there were any competitors, it would certainly be Xilian of the Meraphis Family, but since this biggest rival was dead, what could be happier than that?

Arths looked at the two of them without changing her expression. "Major Anluo, there is a high probability that we will participate in this campaign, so the training during this period cannot be relaxed in the slightest. I will leave the space Mecha training to you; you must increase the intensity."

"Rest assured, I will definitely give everyone a brand new

experience. Galaxy's level in this regard is the highest," Anluo Dan smiled. Although he hadn't won the S Tournament Champion title, Galaxy still held the top spot in overall level; one could only say Arths's performance was too stunning.

Arths nodded. "You may go."

Anluo Dan paused, looked at Li Hao, and wore a look of distrust, as if Li Hao were very dangerous. "Do you have anything else?" Arths glanced at Anluo Dan indifferently.

"No, Officer, I..." Anluo Dan wanted to say that Earthlings couldn't be trusted, but that was just something to grumble about in private. If he said it formally, being confined for a few days would be the least of his worries.

This expedition required the Four Great War Zones to work together; anyone who undermined unity would not have a good ending.

Anluo Dan knew that Arths must be trying to appease the Earthlings; this was the big picture. But these Earthlings really didn't deserve to be alone with their goddess!

As he left, he shot a vicious glare at Li Hao.

Once the door closed, Li Hao wanted to let out a sigh of relief. He was truly used to being lazy, and he really wasn't accustomed to being so serious all of a sudden.

"Attention, soldier! Your attitude is not upright enough!" Arths criticized with a serious face. "Since you've come to the Kuangfeng, you must study earnestly, correct your attitude, and improve yourself!"

"Report, Officer, I can't be earnest because I'm being targeted. I'm unhappy." "Ahem, soldier, then how can you be a little happier?"

"Officer, coax me."

Their gazes melted. Li Hao had no resistance to A Youyou in military uniform. A Youyou still wanted to resist a little; after all, the situation here was still a bit dangerous, but a deep kiss left A Youyou breathless. The soft, moist red lips made Li Hao become even more aggressive...

Finally, the longing was eased just a little. By this time, A Youyou's face was flushed red; where was there any dignity of an officer left?

"Hmph, Hao, don't wrinkle the clothes, it will look very strange." A Youyou had no choice; she had to be serious and cold. After all, given her situation, if she were even a little gentle to others, it would cause many unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Watch this!" Li Hao extended his right hand, his palm turning red and beginning to steam, and then he used his hand to iron out the wrinkled clothes, leaving A Youyou dumbfounded.

"I didn't expect the dignified Li Mo to be such a domestic expert."

"That's right, whether it's staying at home or traveling, killing or arson, I can do it all. Since I was little, the orphanage director praised me as a five-good little handsome guy," Li Hao said happily.

"Is that so? The director said that when you were little, you were the biggest headache. You wouldn't say a word all day, and they thought you were an autistic boy. Who knew you'd be so talkative now," A Youyou laughed. "How about you put me down?"

"That won't do," Li Hao shook his head. "Why did you join this expedition?"

A Youyou rolled her eyes at Li Hao. "Hmph, otherwise what? Do you expect me to persuade the entire family? I don't listen to them, and they don't listen to me, so I started thinking of ways. In the end, they have to listen to me; I prepared many plans."

"You are so good to me, I have nothing to repay you with, I can only offer myself," Li Hao said. "Why does that sound like I'm the one losing out?"

"How could that be? The action of forces is mutual," Li Hao laughed. Ma Laoshi said that a man must be broad-minded and thick-skinned; even soft rice must be eaten firmly. "What about Dita? Will it implicate her? It seems her SkyNet was also shut down," Li Hao asked.

"Sister Dita was criticized, it was a bit miserable, but she also escaped through this expedition. I feel that although the family opposed it, it didn't seem that intense; they still highly recognize your ability. Oh, Sister Dita said that when you meet, you have to treat her to a meal—a big one. One Ocean Heart is far from enough," A Youyou said with a bit of pride.

Li Hao's heart trembled; this was taking advantage of a crisis. "Is she in another fleet? We shouldn't have a chance to run into each other."

A Youyou couldn't help but laugh. "Hmph, Hao, I'm afraid you can't avoid this. We are in the same fleet. Although not on the same starship, they are both capital ships, and there will be opportunities to go to the Muchuan."

Outside, the beeping sound of a code scanner rang out. Li Hao hurriedly put A Youyou down and stepped back two paces. A Youyou

opened the access door.

"Second Lieutenant Li Hao, in short, you must quickly adapt to space combat this time and bring your abilities into play. As for the rhythm of the entire training, it must be intensified. I hope every Warrior can achieve maximum improvement." At this moment, the soft Aiyouyou had turned back into the heroic and indomitable Lieutenant Colonel Arths, only the flush on her face had not yet faded.

"Yes, Officer, I guarantee the mission will be completed. Starting tomorrow, I will make them forget who they are during training!" Li Hao gave a salute. The messenger who entered gave a salute. "Officer, the Captain wants you to go to the conference room for a fleet meeting."

Arths nodded, signaling that Li Hao could leave. Li Hao blinked; he had to say, his Aiyouyou was truly extraordinary, her ability to control the situation was super strong.

The Daliven Family did not approve in principle, but Arths was very independent, especially since the ability she displayed was also very stunning. The Daliven Family had grown to such a degree that they didn't really need marriage alliances, especially when Arths didn't care about the position of heir; in fact, her freedom was greater. It was just that threatening or acting spoiled had very little effect and was very childish; instead, it would make the family look down on her. This time, Su Yu also helped, and an Ocean Heart played quite a role. In fact, Li Hao was remarkable now; not to mention that the S Tournament Champion title gave him enough influence, his influence among the new generation of Elites on Earth and even in other war zones was also very great. Being able to win the respect of people like Maxis, Basta, and Chao Qinglong was far more influential than a championship.

It was no exaggeration to describe him as having infinite potential. The key was that the two were also in love, which was even rarer. Previously, there was a "spare tire," but that spare tire favored by the family was almost going to be reincarnated, which was why Li Hao appeared in this Expeditionary Army and came to the Kuangfeng where A Youyou was.

This was also a very good sign, but the family members were all picky, especially given A Youyou's situation. If Li Hao had taken a fancy to Dita, the family would have clapped and cheered in approval.

These words were spoken by Dita's father himself at a family meeting, which almost made Dita explode on the spot. If it weren't for her own father, she definitely would have beaten him until he couldn't get up. What was wrong with her?
