Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 762 - 378: Invitation (Five-in-One)_2

Su Ming helplessly explained.

"What happened?"

Irelia’s purple eyes moved slightly when she heard Su Ming.

"It’s like this, there’s a serious disagreement between Commander Alekde and Vice City Lord Okens regarding supporting a representative. Commander Alekde wants to promote the Third Prince, but this Third Prince is a double-dealer, already backed by the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country. Vice City Lord Okens feels he is very unreliable, so he supports the Seventh Prince. Both sides ended up arguing and couldn’t persuade each other, so they decided to split the competition quota in two, with fifty spots each. We are severely understaffed, so I thought of asking for your help, senior sister."

Su Ming briefly explained the situation to Irelia.

After listening, Irelia fell into deep thought.

Su Ming inexplicably became a bit nervous, afraid that Irelia might refuse the invitation, which would be troublesome.

Unexpectedly, Irelia didn’t refuse but smiled and said.

"Okay, I agree."

"Thank you, senior sister. Please gather at the recreation hall on the 11th floor of Building A at 3 p.m. this afternoon."

Su Ming said to Irelia.

"Okay, junior brother."

Irelia readily responded.

"Then I won’t bother you anymore, I still have to find others."

"Take care!"

"Alright."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Irelia watched Su Ming’s departing back, her expression becoming increasingly indifferent.

...

Inside the underground hangar of the Twin Towers.

Rows of mechas were neatly placed in their positions,

Su Ming glanced over but couldn’t see the end. The entire Federation Envoy Group’s mechas were parked here.

Therefore, many soldiers and mechas were patrolling.

In addition, several biological mechas from the Special Warfare Department were on standby in a half-activated state to prevent being taken down all at once.

"General!"

One after another, passing officers respectfully greeted Su Ming.

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

Although Su Ming wasn’t wearing a uniform, the incident in the combat arena made him well-known.

Soon, Su Ming arrived at the Special Warfare Department’s guarded area and saw the IV Generation Biological Mecha·Red Scale and IV Generation Biological Mecha·Lan Yan situated at the nearby docking bay.

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue were standing beside the biological mechas on duty and on standby.

Su Ming approached the two and greeted them with a smile.

"Chuyu, Ruoxue."

"Su Ming? Why are you here?"

Lin Chuyu and Ruoxue asked in surprise.

"Of course, there’s something I need to discuss with you two."

Su Ming said to them with a smile.

"Is it urgent? We’re on duty."

Lin Chuyu asked curiously.

"Chuyu, you don’t get it! If Su Ming actively seeks us out, it’s definitely urgent and not good news, isn’t that right?"

An Ruoxue looked at Su Ming with a joking smile.

"Cough, cough, yes."

Su Ming replied awkwardly.

"Su Ming, whatever it is, just tell us. We’ll help as long as we can."

Lin Chuyu said earnestly to Su Ming.

"I want to invite you to join our team for the Star Storage event."

Su Ming candidly said to Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue.

"See, I told you it wouldn’t be good news. He wants us to go against Commander Alekde."

An Ruoxue said playfully to Chuyu.

"Seems you both know."

Su Ming chuckled sheepishly.

"How could we not? Commander Alekde personally came to the Special Warfare Department to select the elite members for the competition, and Admiral Sanida was even picked."

An Ruoxue explained to Su Ming with a laugh.

"I see, then can you help me?"

Su Ming asked the two full of hope.

"Su Ming, Ruoxue and I are certainly willing to help you. But we need to apply for leave from our superior, as we can’t just leave our posts."

Lin Chuyu said without a hint of hesitation.

"Alright, I’ll go with you."

Su Ming nodded in agreement.

"This way."

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue then led Su Ming away, heading not far ahead.

As they walked a bit further, Su Ming saw Tiger scolding the personnel below.

"I’ve told you countless times that dereliction of duty is absolutely not allowed."

Su Ming noticed Chuyu and the others heading towards Tiger and asked in confusion.

"The superior you mentioned, it’s not him, is it?"

"Yes, he is a Major General, after all."

An Ruoxue replied with a smile.

"I see."

Su Ming replied speechlessly.

Soon, the three of them walked up to Tiger. Tiger was startled, then waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates, and then asked attentively.

"Chuyu, is there something you need?"

"Major General Tiger, General Su Ming would like us to participate in the Star Storage event, and we’re here to request leave."

Lin Chuyu explained coldly to Tiger.

Su Ming coughed and reminded Tiger.

"Tiger, this Star Storage event is very important, please don’t make things difficult for me."

"Hmph, as if I’m someone who’s petty and narrow-minded."

"So, will you approve it?"

"Approved, but I have a request."

Tiger suddenly changed his tone.

"I knew it wouldn’t be that simple, go ahead."

Su Ming replied helplessly.

"I want to participate with you, you must take me along."

Tiger said with a bright smile.

Su Ming and the others were stunned by Tiger’s words.

"Tiger, don’t joke around with us."

Su Ming said with a darkened face.

"I’m not joking. If you don’t let me join, I can’t approve this leave."
