"Beep——"
Suddenly, the terminals on the wrists of the five people vibrated simultaneously.
A line of cold system prompts popped out.
【The current Desolate Star assessment has ended.】
【Temporary Squad 079 has been disbanded.】
Seeing these words.
None of the five people had any special reaction.
There was no crying in each other's arms, no reluctance to part, and certainly no shouting sentimental slogans about being teammates forever.
After all, they had known each other for less than three days.
They were only brought together because of mandatory rules.
Now that the mission was over, naturally everyone returned to their respective homes.
Zhou Ye flung the deformed shield onto his back and smiled honestly.
"Um, I'll be leaving first. I still need to go to the medical station to check on that brother with the broken leg from earlier."
Tang Li nodded.
"Yeah, go ahead. I need to take the scrap metal I picked up at the bottom of the pit to sell for credits before the night market closes."
Xie Zhi turned around and walked away.
His footsteps were unsteady, and his back swayed.
"It's finally over. Nobody look for me, I'm going back to the dorm to sleep for three days and three nights."
Pei Linchuan carried that heavy sniper rifle on his back.
His movements still maintained the meticulous posture of a standard soldier.
He looked at Jiang Wangzhi.
"If there's anything later, contact via terminal."
Jiang Wangzhi stuffed the recommendation letter into her pocket and hurriedly waved her hand.
"Best if nothing happens."
"Everyone is quite busy, let's just pretend we never knew each other."
Pei Linchuan nodded and walked onto a transport ship.
The five people.
Didn't even create a communication group.
Just like that, they parted ways cleanly and neatly.
Two hours later.
Jiang Wangzhi finally returned to the dormitory area of the Federal First Military Academy.
This was a double dormitory with both beds empty, it seemed her roommate hadn't moved in yet.
Jiang Wangzhi took a hot shower.
Changed into clean pajamas.
Threw herself onto the soft big bed and let out a long breath of comfort.
She thought that with the assessment over and the temporary team disbanded, she could finally have peace and quiet for two days and properly plan how to drop her ranking back down.
As a result.
She just opened the terminal on her wrist, wanting to check the school's daily schedule.
The next second.
She was almost blinded by the hot posts full of red on the screen.
《Shocking! God-level Micro-operation in D-4 Mining Area, 0-Combat-Power Commander Carries the Whole Team!》
《Digging Deeper into That Rumored Spoiled Eldest Miss of the Jiang Family!》
《Astounded, Bro! I Saw With My Own Eyes How She Fooled an Armored Rhinoceros Into Limping!》
The forum was completely in an uproar.
The ones posting were all the freshmen who had been rescued by them in the mining area.
The descriptions in the posts were vivid.
"I swear! Her physical stamina is really terrible, she pants after running two steps! But her brain works as well as an optical brain!"
"At that time, those three General-class Star Beasts were only one meter away from me! I thought I was dead for sure!"
"As a result, she stood at the edge of the pit, and with a single sentence, made that shield-bearing brother knock the monster over!"
"Too strong! This is purely an IQ suppression!"
The replies underneath instantly built thousands of floors.
They were all worshiping her tactical literacy.
Now.
All the freshmen in the first year knew.
That rumored second-generation rich kid from the Jiang Family who lived off waiting for death.
Was actually a hidden tactical master!
Jiang Wangzhi covered her face and buried her head deep into the pillow.
Let out a painful wail.
It's over.
Completely over.
Her reputation was completely ruined.
Now not only did the teachers think she was a genius, even this group of classmates thought she was a big boss.
In future assessments, who would still dare to look down on her? Who would still dare to give her low scores?
Jiang Wangzhi didn't sleep well all night.
The next morning.
With two dark circles under her eyes, she went to the logistics department to collect the freshman textbooks.
Just walking out of the building.
She ran head-on into Han Zheng, who had a gloomy face.
Han Zheng had lived like death over the past two days.
At the final moment of the Desolate Star assessment, in order to protect his ranking, he abandoned his injured teammates and ran away himself.
Although his personal combat power was strong, behavior like abandoning teammates was a serious crime in military academy assessments.
The system and instructors directly deducted more than half of his comprehensive score.
Now.
He not only lost first place, he didn't even make it into the top ten.
His reputation among the freshmen was also completely stinking.
People pointed and gossiped everywhere he walked.
Han Zheng blamed all of this debt on Jiang Wangzhi.
If it weren't for Jiang Wangzhi's lousy team rising abruptly and stealing his limelight in the back.
Seeing Jiang Wangzhi at this moment, the anger in Han Zheng's heart flared up instantly.
He blocked the middle of the road.
Sneering repeatedly.
"Jiang Wangzhi, don't be smug too early."
He looked up and down at Jiang Wangzhi's listless appearance, his eyes full of disdain.
"Do you really think your little cleverness can let you muddle through four years in the military academy?"
"Some people have no ability themselves, but they sure know how to find four people to carry their sedan chair."
Han Zheng raised his voice, intentionally letting passersby hear.
"Pei Linchuan's gun, Zhou Ye's shield."
"If those two weren't fighting for their lives in front, you wouldn't even be able to beat a single Soldier-rank Star Beast!"
"What kind of school number one are you?"
"A good-for-nothing riding on someone else's coattails!"
If it were anyone else, being insulted like this publicly would have made them jump with anger.
But Jiang Wangzhi stood in place.
Her eyelids didn't even lift.
Not only did she not refute, she instead nodded in deep agreement.
"Right."
Han Zheng was stunned.
The stomach full of vicious words he had prepared suddenly got stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
"You... what do you mean?"
Jiang Wangzhi raised her head, looked at him, her gaze extremely sincere.
"Everything you said is right."
"I really have no ability."
"I am indeed relying on them to carry my sedan chair."
"Away from them, I'm not even a fart."
Jiang Wangzhi sighed, stepped forward, patted Han Zheng's shoulder earnestly.
"Classmate."
"Please, you must publicize this truth."
"Better make it a big deal, let all the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office know."
"Hurry up and expel me, this freeloader who climbed up relying on others."
"I thank your whole family."
After speaking.
Jiang Wangzhi hugged a stack of thick freshman textbooks.
And walked away without looking back.
Leaving Han Zheng standing alone in the wind.
With a blank face.
His fists were tightly clenched, but it felt like punching a soft cotton ball.
His whole body felt uncomfortable.
"This woman... is something wrong with her brain or what?!"
