Starships of All Realms Online

With the start of the University of Tokyo's fall recruitment season, universities across the country are bustling with activity. Students are carefully grooming themselves to look presentable and ready to submit their resumes.

Upon arriving at the venue, the first thing that catches the eye is the Star Group's highly futuristic recruitment booth.

"Starry Sky Group, isn't that Atlas from Black Continent? Why are they here at the school for fall recruitment?"

"Are you ignorant? Even Atlas in the game has a research and development department and is not entirely a military force. Moreover, Star Group's biotechnology is very powerful. I have studied their energy drinks in the laboratory. They contain a variety of nutrients that can be quickly absorbed by the human body, and there is also a magical substance that can slowly strengthen the human body."

"What? That's amazing? Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, I would have been drinking it every day."

"It's not too late now. Take a look at the recruitment requirements of Xingchen Group. A bachelor's degree is enough to meet the threshold, and there are no academic requirements. You just need to take a test and wait for the notification."

"It's really simple, and I've looked at the benefits and compensation package, which is also very good. It provides accommodation and three meals a day. All employees are required to be in good health upon joining, and all diseases and genetic defects will be eliminated. The accommodation is a single room in a small apartment. There are three restaurants inside the group building, two Chinese restaurants and one Western restaurant. It's really good."

"Not only that, did Professor Jiang Feng know about this before?"

"I've heard about it, what's wrong?"

"I heard that after Professor Jiang Feng brought his son into the Xingchen Group, he cured his son's terminal illness. Moreover, the group will provide free treatment for any illnesses his family members may suffer from. How much confidence does he have to say that?"

"Let's go, let's go submit our resumes first. There are more and more people around, let's hurry up and grab a spot."

Upon hearing his roommate's words, the student immediately stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd.

Soon, the three-day autumn recruitment season came to an end, and all the companies, whether satisfied, calm, or with gloomy expressions, packed up and left.

However, Xingchen Group's recruitment efforts this time have not been very successful.

Fang Heng set very high standards, adhering to the principle of "better to have none than to have bad ones." These recent graduates recruited from campuses would not be hired unless they could achieve a B-level score on the test.

These students were unaware of these things. Fortunately, Xingchen Group did not delay them. Those who took the test and failed would be notified directly via text message to avoid wasting other job opportunities while waiting for notification.

Inside the Star Group, Fang Heng looked at the list of hires submitted by Ethan and nodded.

"Although we only recruited 100 people, their talents are indeed quite good. Apart from a few who were B-level after the test, the rest were all A-level, and there were even two S-level. It is said that Dongda University is full of hidden talents, and it seems that this statement is true."

"Commander, these people haven't actually shown their talents, which is why they haven't been noticed by the authorities. Those students who have already shown their talents have been marked by the authorities and can't be kept out."

"It's alright, I'm not worried about that. Although the people the authorities take away may have better average aptitude, without corresponding training methods and technological assistance, it's not an easy thing to fully develop their personal talents."

"Commander, shall we proceed according to plan?"

"Proceed according to the original plan. By the way, I remember we already have two Jackal aircraft, right?"

"Yes, there are two already."

"Then send both planes out to follow the returning passenger plane and ensure the safety of these students."

"Yes, Commander."

As Ethan gave the order, Fang Heng also opened the Jackal's data to view the fighter jet's specific data.

Looking at the jackal's weaponry, Fang Heng also felt that its firepower was somewhat low.

However, the current Jackal design is already quite mature. Even if there are improvements, it would only be to change the machine gun to an electromagnetic machine gun and an electromagnetic cannon.

Furthermore, adding electromagnetic weapons would require upgrading the energy core, so this aspect of the research has been ongoing.

Soon, with two flashes of light, two Jackals were teleported from the moon to the Star Group's underground base.

"Jackal One, Jackal Two, mission data sent, about to enter takeoff phase, please prepare."

At this moment, the two Jackals that were ready had entered the catapult track.

"Ready to launch, 3, 2, 1!"

As the countdown ended, the two Jackals were launched into the air via a long trajectory.

With the roar of their engines, the two Jackals disappeared into the night.

Meanwhile, as all the students completed their formalities, Mike prepared to lead the hundred or so people onto the plane back to the Star Group.

Soon, as the plane doors closed, many students became somewhat dejected.

"Don't be sad, everyone. Our Starry Sky Group will soon build an airport on an island at sea. Once we establish a flight route with Dongda University, you will be able to travel back and forth at any time."

The students present felt a little better after Mike finished speaking.

The plane was flying very fast, and before long it had crossed the boundary of the University of Tokyo and continued flying over the sea toward the continent.

However, at that moment, the driver noticed something unusual.

"Captain, you'd better come and take a look."

"What's wrong?"

"Captain, the onboard radar shows two high-speed targets rapidly approaching us from our left front. We expect to encounter them within two minutes."

"Can you identify which country the plane is from?"

"No, this type of aircraft is not in the known database."

Upon receiving this news, the captain became wary.

"Immediately enter stealth mode, notify the escort fleet, and ask them how much longer it will take to arrive."

"Yes, Captain."

"Activate stealth mode and increase flight altitude."

With a series of maneuvers by the pilot, the aircraft they were in gradually became blurry from the outside, until it became completely transparent and disappeared into the horizon.

As the altitude began to increase, and with the stealth mode activated, the University of Tokyo also lost signal tracking of the passenger plane.

Seeing this, the military responsible for tracking was also very surprised, not expecting that the other side had hidden its signal so quickly.

"Forget it, let's not chase after them. They've probably already noticed something. Let's report this to our superiors."

"Yes, sir."

Just as everyone was about to leave, two new bright spots appeared on the radar.

"Beep!"

Everyone was a little puzzled by these two newly appeared spots.

The people on site quickly analyzed the specifics of these abnormal signals.

"Sir, something's wrong. These signals are very similar to those from the lizardmen aircraft. Request satellite imagery of this area."

"Agreed. Activate the satellites immediately. I want to know who these guys are."

"Yes, sir."

Just as the satellite application was successful and the live footage was displayed, two more bright spots appeared on the radar.

"Report: Two more unidentified aircraft have been spotted. The second one is coming from the west, while the first two fighter jets came from the southeast."

The sight of two groups of unidentified aircraft piqued the interest of everyone present, who wanted to see what these two groups were planning to do.

Meanwhile, Mike, seeing the Jackal fighter jets arrive at the scene, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Transport team, this is Jackal One. Are you all alright?"

"Jackal One, everything is normal. The enemy is to our southeast. Please be careful."

"Alright, let me see what kind of guys they are."

As they spoke, the two jackals each released a small drone and transferred control to the transporter.

After doing all this, the two Jackals flew directly over the transporter and headed southeast.

Soon, the jackal's radar detected the unusual activity in the air.

"Jackal Two, release the Pathfinder. I need to analyze the enemy's machine data first."

"OK!"

As a Pathfinder was launched, it rapidly approached the location of the two unidentified aircraft after exceeding the speed of two fighter jets.

Jackal One and Jackal Two, on the other hand, maintained their cruising speed as they approached.

Soon, the Pathfinder Bird arrived at its destination.

Not long after the Pathfinder was in position, two very different-looking aircraft flew overhead, and the relevant data was quickly transmitted back to the Jackal.

"It has been confirmed that these two aircraft belong to the Lizardmen and are rapidly approaching us."

"Jackal Number Two, one of us each, let's take them out quickly."

"good!"

As the two Jackals increased their speed, the distance between them continued to shrink.

Soon, as they drew closer, the jackals were the first to spot the two aircraft on their radar.

"Jackal-1, Missile No. 1, launch!"

"Jackal II, Missile No. 1, launch!"

"Whoosh!"

As the two missiles were launched, the two Jackals quickly dispersed.

The two lizardmen fighter jets in flight also sounded an alarm, startling the two pilots.

"Where did that missile come from? Damn it, get out of the way!"

"Ah, there's no escaping it now! Ah! Ah!"

"boom!"

As two fireballs appeared in the sky, the two treacherous lizard-man aircraft were completely destroyed.

But before they could even celebrate, a large number of unidentified signals reappeared in the distance on the radar.

"Oh no, we've stirred up a hornet's nest! A lot more enemies have arrived, about 10 aircraft. We must eliminate them as soon as possible to prevent them from getting close to the transporter."

"yes!"
