Chapter 592 Glory
"Hey, little Jiang, we meet again." A voice rang out, startling Jiang Hui, who had just boarded the spaceship.

She thought it would just be her and Stark on the return trip, but before she could even get her footing on the familiar little spaceship, she heard a familiar voice.

No, when did you get here?

“You really have too much free time,” Stark said, raising an eyebrow. Then he said to Jiang Hui, “He insisted on coming to pick you up, saying he wanted to give you a big congratulatory gift. Go ask him for it.”

"No, Stark, you tricked me again?! That's not what I said... Oh well, why not give it to him since he did such a great job? What do you want?" The young man's gaze towards Jiang Hui instantly softened with affection, mixed with a complex mix of surprise and amazement, as if he were looking at some rare and extraordinary person.

What's up with this Uncle Nie Erqi? He wasn't like this last time we met... Seriously, can someone as old as the original owner's mother really get along with this guy? Jiang Hui had a big question mark in her mind.

Little did people know that the seemingly unreliable Nie Erqi was actually thinking about things related to her mother.

Jiang Hui only had a few memories of the original owner of the body, and the original owner didn't know much about her mother's past. She simply believed Stark's words and thought that Nie Erqi was her mother's friend. But who would have thought that Nie Erqi was actually Jiang Yilin's former follower and admirer? If you had to say, the two were truly in a superior-subordinate relationship.

Jiang's mother naturally did not accept this junior who looked like he hadn't grown up yet, but after he joined the army and came under her command, she gave him a lot of guidance. Nie Erqi had always regarded him as a mentor.

In his eyes, Jiang Yilin was confident and beautiful, yet incredibly powerful. Her strength emanated from within and was undeniable; even many of the most promising young talents at the time admired her, demonstrating her charisma.

But her daughter didn't seem to resemble her much—that was the first impression Nierqi had when she saw her.

Not only their appearances, but also their personalities and the aura they exude are quite different.

Jiang Hui is naturally beautiful, but she resembles her father more, possessing a refined elegance rather than the striking beauty of her mother. Her personality also seems more like Jiang Hui's, being relatively mild-mannered and less aggressive, quite unlike her mother.

The only thing the other person had in common with Jiang Yilin was their similar aloofness. That kind of indifferent attitude that emanated from within was really intimidating, and they didn't seem easy to approach.

However, Nie Erqi only realized today that he had misjudged her all along. In fact, Jiang Hui is not very similar to Jiang Yilin or even Jiang Hui. She is an independent individual with her own personality, but the tenacity in her bones is very similar to hers.

They are all very strong, stronger than many people.

After hearing about the other party's "feat", Nie Erqi inexplicably wanted to see the daughter of his old friend. He didn't know why, he just wanted to see her.

—And then he came.

Stark's fabricated gift promise wasn't a big deal; he could just take her to buy one later. If she wanted anything unusual, he had some points in his military account, which he could exchange for some things.

Seeing the inexplicable yet somewhat suspicious look in the other person's eyes—a look of utter disbelief, just like her mother's—Nie Erqi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He gave the driver's seat to the person next to him, then put his arm around Jiang Hui and pulled her aside to talk.

The initial flight during the jump requires a high level of skill from the pilot. Stark didn't want to experience the other person's terrible piloting skills, so he took over, adjusted his skills, and prepared to take off.

Traveling through the vast expanse of interstellar space is far more difficult than simply traversing neighboring star systems. Even with the energy and power of a large starship, such travel would take two to three days, let alone a small spaceship like this.

In addition, the recent instability of the defenses and interstellar routes has made their return journey difficult, requiring them to change routes many times.

Jiang Hui asked Stark with some curiosity whether piloting this type of spaceship required specific qualifications, or whether anyone with a spaceship license could pilot it.

She was genuinely curious about this. Just like you need a driver's license to drive on Earth, here in interstellar space, you need relevant professional certificates to be qualified to drive airships or even mechs.

But the current situation is different. Although this is also a spaceship, it's an interstellar warp-through spaceship. This involves space folding technology and interstellar travel, which is different from flying inside a planet. However, after checking, Jiang Hui doesn't seem to have any specific requirements for this kind of flight setup; it seems they're not distinguished...

Therefore, Jiang Hui was unsure whether a specific qualification certificate was required, and the online definition of this was also vague, seemingly intentionally so.

And there are starships. Do you need a special qualification exam to operate a starship?

...Jiang Hui realized that she was really ignorant about this interstellar space. She had been here for several years, but she still hadn't become familiar with this new world because it was just too big and too vast. Even after several years, she could only glimpse a corner of it.

Stark, unusually, kept her in suspense, telling her she would know when she returned to receive her rank and that she could find out for herself then.

Before Jiang Hui could ask any further questions, the other party told her some new information—about the mecha piloting level exam that she had been worried about.

The notification regarding this exam also came down today, along with the resolution on the awarding of military ranks.

This is neither good nor bad news. Due to the special nature of this incident, the examination organizers have decided, after careful consideration, to offer a make-up exam for those who did not complete the later stages of the exam. However, the exam will be postponed to the second half of the year, requiring some time for rescheduling and preparation. The exam location has been set in the central star region, supposedly for ease of scheduling…

As for the first half of the exam she passed, it was not affected; her D-level qualification remained valid, and the remaining part simply allowed her to further refine her level.

Hearing this, Jiang Hui breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn't canceled but only delayed, that was acceptable; otherwise, her previous round would have been a complete waste, and so would everyone else's.

The second half of the year... by then she will finish her secondary education and go to college, it will be soon.

Well, she was too greedy. It's good that this matter is resolved; things can't always go smoothly. Jiang Hui sighed.

Seeing her sighing and complaining, Nie Erqi raised an eyebrow and said, "What? You're so young, why are you sighing? I've seen something interesting, come and take a look." He then turned on the personal computer screen and moved closer to Jiang Hui.

"Little Jiang, you've become famous on your planet this time."
