On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

Xilai Galaxy, Planet Ikos 4.

Yin Xu opened the door and walked out. Several people who were chatting in the living room turned around and saw him. They looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Yao Yue. There was nothing they could do, as he and Yin Xu had the best relationship in the team.

Yao Yue gritted his teeth and carefully observed Yin Xu's expression. After confirming that he was in a good mood, he gave a wink to the others, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

No one knew what had happened to this big boss in their team recently. In the past few days, he exuded a violent aura. Every star beast that was cleared during those missions was chopped into pieces by him and died miserably.

Later, he directly submitted a leave application to the base, and stayed in his room alone, not coming out. You know, he used to be a tough guy who worked on the front line all year round.

This might be related to the boss's mysterious partner, Yao Yue thought to himself.

Yao Yue collected his thoughts and was the first to speak, "Brother Xu, you're out. Come and have a look at the energy weapons that the Federation just sent over. I heard they use the latest technology."

"That's not the case. It's only because our base is important and has a high contribution value that we were able to apply for it. I heard that other bases applied but the headquarters ignored them." A short-haired alpha on the sofa on the right said. She flicked the dagger in her hand with her fingers, and the crisp sound of metal collision rang out in the quiet room.

Yin Xu walked to the coffee table and picked up a long knife that exuded a heart-pounding aura.

The blade was slender and straight, with an extremely sharp blade, as thin as a cicada's wing, and gleaming with a cold light. The entire blade was made of an unknown mysterious metal, with faint blue energy lines flowing on its surface, which were the tracks of the source energy surging inside it.

Near the handle, there is a complex energy core device, where the source stone is placed.

Yin Xu casually waved the knife, and the knife drew a sharp arc in the air, causing a slight wind sound.

There was no feeling of sluggishness, it was indeed a good knife, a sharp weapon for killing star beasts, and also a sharp weapon for killing people. She would definitely like it.

He lowered his eyes and said to the others, "I want this knife, you can choose the rest."

"Okay, Brother Xu." Everyone looked at each other. Although there was reluctance and desire in their eyes, they all knew their own limitations. They had already discussed how to distribute it and were just waiting for Yin Xu to come out.

That knife was the best among all the weapons, so it should naturally belong to Yin Xu, the strongest member of the team. Although everyone was jealous, no one was upset, because offending an alpha who would definitely be extraordinary in the future with a weapon was really a bad idea.

"Alas, I heard that the people who came to replace us were military cadets. I don't know which military academy in the Federation they were from." A long-haired alpha leaned on the sofa, holding a sword in his right hand, blew on the blade, nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly.

"You should ask Yao Yue about this kind of thing. He is the only one in our team who graduated from the Federal Military Academy. We are all cannon fodder picked by the military from chaotic planets and marginal planets."

The Federation classifies planets into levels: main star, first-level planet, second-level planet, third-level planet, edge star, and chaotic star.

Only people from planets above level three can obtain federal citizenship at birth.

The Edge Star is a planet that has been half-abandoned by the Federation. Due to its scarce resources, harsh environmental conditions, and remote geographical location, the Federation will not provide development opportunities for the Edge Star. Instead, it will set up several institutions on it to provide blood transfusions for other planets.

The Chaos Star is a place completely abandoned by the Federation. It has been occupied by star beasts and all its resources have been devoured. The remaining humans face deadly threats from star beasts every day. The Federation only sends people there every ten to twenty years to recruit underage children who meet the screening criteria and take them away to join the Federation's major institutions.

The Federation is not a philanthropist. Places without value deserve to be sucked dry, even if they are already struggling to survive.

Therefore, in the military, people born from marginal stars and chaotic stars are also called cannon fodder. They are the ones fighting on the front lines. Some of them are seeking a glimmer of hope for their hometown, some are fighting bravely for their own future, and some are just trying to survive.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Although no one usually talked about it, everyone felt a little resentful about the Federation's actions. They naturally knew Yao Yue's identity. As a member of the Yao family on the main planet, the mere word "main planet" was out of reach for them.

They come here to gild themselves, but they are really fighting for their lives, just to fight for a way out. Some people's starting point is the terminal that they can never touch in their lifetime. This is fate, cruel and ruthless.

"Military school is so great. I was just so close to getting in. It's a pity, I was just so close." Someone noticed that the atmosphere was getting bad and immediately spoke up to help.

Although Yao Yue came here to gild his reputation, he was very self-aware and was very sophisticated and tactful in his dealings with others in the team. He also relied on the Yao family's connections to secure a lot of resources for the team, and everyone had no complaints about him.

"Bah, everyone knows that you are bragging, you're just a little short, I think a billion points. The admission requirements of major military academies in the Federation have always been the most stringent of all higher education institutions. People like us will just be serving food if we go up there. Only Yin Xu can do it, don't you think, Yao Yue?" The short-haired alpha looked a little disdainful, and cast his eyes on Yao Yue, motioning him to ease the atmosphere.

Yao Yue smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "Sister, please don't say that. In fact, military school is just like that. You see, I still need the support of all the brothers and sisters to make it."

In fact, he had relied on his family connections to get in and get a diploma to facilitate future promotions in the military. That military academy was barely ranked among the top 100 in the federation.

"Brother Xu is still the best. I remember that he is only 21 years old. The federal military academy recruits people under 25 years old. When the time comes, we can switch positions and take a rest. With the merits that Brother Xu has accumulated from killing star beasts over the years, it is enough for him to study in the top ten military academies."

"I heard that people who graduated from those ten schools, as long as they survived, could become officials." The long-haired alpha put away his sword and looked at Yin Xu, who was expressionless, with a hint of flattery on his face. He smiled and said, "When Brother Xu becomes rich, don't forget us brothers."

Yin Xu turned his head and looked at him with indifferent eyes, but did not say anything.

Yao Yue knew that this was a sign of the other party's displeasure. Yin Xu had been the main force of the team in recent years. He killed more than half of the star beasts alone in every mission, but he only got 30% of the merit. Yet there were still people who were so shameless as to want to take advantage of him.

Yao Yue spoke hastily, "Hey, hey, hey, let's not talk about this. My alma mater sent me a message a few days ago, inviting me to go back and attend this year's graduation ceremony. They said they wanted to show the flowers of the Federation the heroic figures of the frontline soldiers. If you are free, come with me and experience the feeling of returning home in glory."

"Your alma mater? Military academy?" An alpha looked at him suspiciously. People of their level were not qualified enough to be invited to a military academy.

"That's not the case. It's the secondary school I attend, Icleus College." Yao Yue turned to look at Yin Xu and said, "Brother Xu, will you go when the time comes?"

Yin Xu was silent for a while, then replied calmly, "Yeah."

The master is also on the main planet. Judging from her schedule, she should still be studying. What if she is in that school? Let's go and take a look first, and then make the next plan.
