I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

While the entire population participated in the pest control campaign, the Blue Star United Alliance Committee finally submitted its application to the Xia Kingdom government after much discussion.

They demanded that the entire alliance acquire Xia Kingdom citizenship.

The reason is that the Blue Star crisis will not end just because the invading Zerg are wiped out; this is only the beginning.

Whether it's rebuilding order on Earth or actively responding to a potential second Zerg invasion, humanity should unite and go all out.

But the Xia Kingdom refused.

Most of the high-ranking officials in Xia Kingdom disagreed with the application. The other party's purpose was too obvious. Although they lived in a big city, they did not receive the same treatment as Xia Kingdom citizens because they were not Xia Kingdom citizens.

For ordinary survivors within the Alliance, they do not receive any benefits from the Xia Kingdom in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The research institutions controlled by the Alliance have even fewer channels to purchase rare materials and minerals, and other businesses are out of the question.

This is perfectly understandable.

It should be noted that 95% of the people living in cities 51-60 are survivors of countries that once sent troops to besiege the borders of the Xia Kingdom. They truly harbor great malice towards the Xia Kingdom.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the second insect plague, war would probably have broken out. It was already quite good that the Xia Kingdom was able to let them live outside the border without holding a grudge. How could they expect to receive the same treatment as the people of the Xia Kingdom?

But once people's lives are safe, they tend to want more.

Living so close together creates such a stark contrast that it's easy to feel resentful.

Xia's rejection did not deter them from forming a united alliance; they changed their approach and continued to apply.

If they don't want to become citizens of the Xia Kingdom, then the Xia Kingdom should take over the full management of the United Alliance. The Xia Kingdom representative cannot just be a "mascot"; he must help and guide the United Alliance countries to recover.

The Xia Kingdom's response was to immediately withdraw its representatives.

This move left the Joint Alliance Committee dumbfounded.

The pest control operation isn't even over yet! Is Xia Kingdom going to withdraw from the Alliance? Just abandon them? That won't do!

The United Alliance Committee, which dared not directly challenge the Xia Kingdom's official government, withdrew all its applications, but this action failed to win back the Xia Kingdom's representative.

Fortunately, most of the problems are resolved.

The Xia Kingdom did not announce its withdrawal.

The United Alliance Committee was busy calculating its own interests, and Xia Kingdom was also busy, focusing on the significant achievements of the spaceship once again.

Following the successful completion and return of the Xia Kingdom's Exploration spacecraft during its manned space mission, the first transport ship was recently delivered.

Unlike the relatively small Exploration Ship, Transport Ship-1 is Xia Kingdom's first medium-sized spaceship with a considerable cargo capacity. Once put into use, it will greatly reduce Xia Kingdom's expenditure on spirit stones.

Previously, half of the goods that Xia Kingdom transported to the moon relied on the academy's long-distance teleportation array. Less important materials were sent by launching rockets themselves, which was only possible after rocket technology had been comprehensively improved.

Transport ship-1 has now successfully completed its first round-trip mission to the moon, once again proving that Xia Kingdom has fully mastered the ability to explore the solar system.

The authorities attach great importance to the data and experience gained from this voyage of Transport Ship-1, as it is crucial for future upgrades to the transport ship fleet and the development of new spacecraft.

The Xia Kingdom government has decided to simultaneously launch two construction projects—a space elevator and a large space station—after the pest control operation concludes.

The United Alliance Committee is right in some ways. Even if the Zerg are wiped out this time, they may still come back. Therefore, Xia Kingdom wants to build an outpost outside of Earth so that it can at least prepare for such an event in advance.

Besides these major events, there were also quite a few minor incidents.

Among them, those things that happened at the Psionic Academy are the ones that are related to Su Mo.

Su Mo didn't hide the fact that Bu Lingling lived in the Spirit Energy Academy, and many students took the time to go and see the cow that could speak the common language of Suzhou.

In the current Psionic Academy, only the veteran employees have seen Bai Bai from back then, and they are considered worldly-wise, so they are not very curious about Bu Lingling.

But the newly hired faculty and students are different; how rare is that? A monster that can communicate.

Everyone couldn't resist interacting with Bu Lingling. Not only did they ask her a lot of irrelevant questions, but some students even wanted to have a friendly match with her.

Although Bu Lingling is a cute little calf and doesn't seem to pose much of a threat, the other party is still a demon beast. A demon beast that can speak the common language must be more advanced, which is a common preconceived notion among many people.

Have you never seen Baekhyun, or heard the legend of Baekhyun?

In addition, there were rumors that Bu Lingling had caused the association a lot of headaches before she returned with the principal, and that it was only by asking their principal to come over that the matter was resolved, which made them think that Bu Lingling was even more amazing.

After the academy's higher-ups found out, Zhou Wei approached Bu Lingling to ask for her opinion. Since she did not refuse, the academy's higher-ups did not stop her.

You want to try it out? Bu Lingling said it can take on ten of them.

Cheers erupted in the spirit beast garden.

Ten volunteer trainees, fully armed, faced off against Bu Lingling. A fierce battle was about to break out, and the onlookers calmed down.

Everyone watched the two combatants standing opposite each other in the arena.

After the professional referee in charge of the martial arts arena at the academy gave the order to "begin".

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy rose in the arena, with Bu Lingling standing on all fours at its center, its horns glowing faintly.

The ten students opposite them made a move.

They didn't even glance at Bu Lingling; instead, they exchanged glances with the classmates next to them.

At this moment, when they looked at each other, there was no longer any sense of being classmates or comrades-in-arms; they had completely regarded each other as adversaries!

Or it's an opponent whose defeat would allow me to improve my monthly exam ranking by one level!

After a brief period of probing, the fighting became even more ferocious.

The crowd of onlookers...

After the initial surprise came silence; the atmosphere outside the venue was unusually quiet.

On one side of the arena, five pairs were engaged in a chaotic battle, while on the other side, Bu Lingling had already sat down on the ground with her two front hooves, which were now holding a glass bottle almost as tall as herself, with a straw inserted, her cheeks squeezing together.

Is that milk? Is it eating and watching a show?

The crowd's facial muscles twitched, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong.

The referee is a professional; he simply stands between the two sides to observe the battle.

It wasn't until ten minutes later, when Bu Lingling burped and finished the entire bottle of milk it was holding, that the illusion cast on the ten people was lifted.

His mind cleared instantly, and the fighting naturally stopped.

As they looked at each other in bewilderment, they heard the referee's voice.

"Bu Lingling wins!"
