Chapter 7: This was really a junior commander’s exam, too…

There was a brief pause in the breathing.
“Shuci, where are you?”
“The closed examination cannot be interrupted.” After a long time, Xie Shuci’s voice came over with some bitterness, “Admiral Yu won’t allow any surprises to happen on your exam, and besides, what can you do if you see me?”
“If I fail the exam this year, then I can still take it again next year. But if you transfer to another school-“
Your life will then be completely changed.
The communication was actually directly cut off.
“Well, the exam room has now turned on the jammer which cuts off all private means of communication with the outside world.” Soon the others noticed that something was wrong, and Noka muttered, “We shouldn’t be able to get out until the exam is complete. Go to bed early, there will be something to talk about tomorrow after the examination.”
Ming Huan was surprised.
Noka gossiped, “Classmate, that just now, isn’t that your omega?”
“No, it’s a friend.”
“Why are you so nervous about a friend transferring to another school?”
“He’s just an omega, it’s the same as studying anything. It’s okay to transfer.”
The eyes of the two alphas were easily recognized by Noka’s relaxed tone, “An omega is so precious, as long as they are good looking, even if they do nothing, they can be held in the arms of the alpha for life. On the contrary, the alpha must be strong enough.”
“I didn’t know you’d be such a clingy alpha that you’d try to coax a little omega.”
He had just spoken with true emotion, but in the eyes of the alpha, he was just coaxing his omega.
Ming Huan suddenly realized that in this world, omegas were precious and fragile because of their scarcity, and they were treated as fragile treasures by the majority of alphas.
However, omegas were not given power which also included the power to dream.
Even if he was a young dragon that could control mental energy so perfectly, he was still only expected to marry a good and powerful alpha that he would give birth to an equally good child with.
In the original text, Xie Shuci didn’t like anyone, and he was the poor little man that was taken in by the previous soul. After going through ups and downs, he determined his dream and eventually became a warship designer.
However, after Ming Huan had come through, the previous Xie Shuci’s trials and tribulations were gone because Ming Huan would not take him by force. He would transfer to another school in the same way, then get married and have children.
Ming Huan’s mood suddenly became heavy.
“I’m going out to find someone.”
“Eh, eh! You can’t go out now, you’ll be disqualified from the exam if you go out….”
“Leave him alone.” The two men called out to Noka and said coldly, “Haven’t you noticed that he is the only one with a problem, why do you care about him?”
Ming Huan opened the dormitory door, but he had only just touched the doorknob when the door was opened from the outside. Ming Huan saw two men in uniform that were standing straight and upright. A new message came again on the terminal that had been cut off from communication by the jammer, “Young Master Ming, if you must leave the dormitory building today, we will definitely report it to the admiral.”
‘Yu Hanzhou.’
He was going to make sure that he would take the Junior commander exam.
It was like he forced him to learn so many things.
Every step must go the way that he wanted him to go.
Xie Shuci was an omega, but he had still been arranged by his father to transfer to another school even with that strong mental energy. He was an alpha, but he had to be a good commander at Yu Hanzhou’s judgment.
The remaining three did not see the brief communication on Ming Huan’s terminal, so they did not understand why he suddenly stood still at the doorway.
“Admiral Yu has a message for you: No matter what problems you encounter, there is something to talk about as long as you can pass the Junior commander exam.”
The wording was somewhat ambiguous.
A little suspicion suddenly flashed in Ming Huan’s mind.
“But if you easily beat up your housemate again and cause conflicts that lead to a bad exam tomorrow, he will then kick you out.”
Ming Huan saw the message that kept coming from the terminal.
‘Sure enough.’
Yu Hanzhou knew what went on with him like the back of his hand.
He also knew that the last message he had before the jammer opened was with Capital Star Xie’s family.
Yu Hanzhou knew the situation, and he could guess that he didn’t want Xie Shuci to transfer to another school. However, he would not help him solve the problem. He would instead superimpose the problem and press it back on his head by disguising the pressure.
–You want to help your friend? Then pass the exam first.
That was what Yu Hanzhou really wanted to tell him.
From the time that he had stepped into this dormitory, he feared that everything he did was known to the military department as the use of the terminal was monitored. During the two days of the examination, he had no privacy.
Since the Ministry of the Military has been able to intervene to this point, why would he need to take the test at all? Couldn’t he just go in directly through the back door or even change the results of the junior commander exam to pass it? Why does he have to come to the test this time?
Even though these two officers were alphas, the smell of pheromone made Ming Huan’s heart anxious and restless.
“Okay, I know.”
The three people in the dormitory then saw Ming Huan open the door with an air of authority as he confronted the two officers outside the door for several minutes and eventually threw out a “Got it”.
It was like a wild cat that had kicked an iron plate and had to put away with its sharp claws.
After Ming Huan closed the door, he started to think back to the test he took last year.
He had also prepared very well last time, and the scope of the test included one hundred and twenty-seven types of fighter aircraft control techniques, buttons, as well as model characteristics and agility which he had a certain mastery to.
However, he didn’t pass last time.
He was partnered with another human last time, and he clearly remembered that he was not as skilled, but he had passed.
Since the original text for the protagonist from the beginning was in the Empire, and the map later opened to the Federation, he had never participated in this ‘what the hell’ test. So Ming Huan tried to recall the original content about Federation’s Junior commander exam, but there was still nothing.
To become a commander in the Federation was an extremely special and sacred honor for every citizen.
However, the pass rate was less than three percent, and that was just for beginners.
Ming Huan turned his head and looked at the three alphas in the dormitory.
Does it mean that in this exam, there were other selection criterias?
What else were they testing on?
Was it something other than battleship control and personal prowess?
Ming Huan felt like his head was going to explode again.
‘Damn, it’s like this every time.’ For three years, Yu Hanzhou had been giving him increasingly tricky problems.
In order to go to the frontier agricultural planet mountain to become old and moldy, he had to pass the screening examination with a passing rate of less than 10% first and then become a Federation Commander that everyone respected. Was this scientific?
He might as well not have done the genetic test at the beginning and not be adopted by Yu Hanzhou, instead going to the slums of the Empire!
‘Wait a minute.’
‘Genetic testing.’
The exam had nothing to do with the real thing. That’s why even if he kicked the two kneecaps so hard that they couldn’t stand up, he would only settle the dispute after the exam was over as a non-life-threatening injury would not interrupt the exam.
However, it was entering the terminal virtual world for simulated war driving. Aircraft, planets, and confrontation scenarios are arbitrarily randomized.
Ming Huan’s eyelashes lifted slightly.
It seemed that in the confusion, he suddenly grasped some thought.
The other two sat down on the bed in an exaggerated way, took off their shoes, pulled up their loose pant legs, and rubbed a little bit of the wound medicine brought by Noka.
“Brat, do not think that I will team up with you tomorrow.”
The two men were still putting out harsh words, but Noka seemed to dwell on the issue of the jammer as he said, “Why must the jammer be turned on before the exam and block the basic communication of the candidates?”
“What for, do you have a little omega to flirt with too?”
Ming Huan, who had been silent all along, made a rare remark, “Because of the fear that the content of the examination would be broadcast out of the communication device.”
Noka seemed to be very confused, “the test time is uniform, even if the broadcast goes out, what could happen? There is no way to cheat on this kind of thing, right?”
No, there’s no way to prevent cheating.
Ming Huan suddenly seemed to catch the little thought that had been wandering around in his mind.
“Go to bed early. You have to get enough sleep today in order to be refreshed tomorrow.”
Ming Huan laid in bed. After a long day of rushing around, he was very tired and did not wait until Noka finished bathing before he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day’s exam came quickly.
Ming Huan logged into the terminal and looked at the dormitory two-by-two allocation. Ming Huan and Noka were assigned to a group.
The loading was completed, and he was greeted by a huge gust of wind that swept across his face with gravel which made his face hurt.
Ming Huan looked at his bare wrist and suddenly missed the bracelet that Yu Hanzhou had bought for him.
It seemed that in this virtual world, his skin texture was also more delicate.
When the coarse gravel cut across his face, he could even feel a few tiny scrapes being made.
The fighter was still fifty meters away.
However, the sand was so strong that Ming Huan couldn’t open his eyes. He heard the person next to him hold his hand and say, “Ming Huan, come with me.”
The gravity of the planet seemed much greater than that of Capital Star, and the sand that was supposed to be lighter than his ankles was like a mass of iron filings. It was very hard to lift his feet.
After all the hard work, he hadn’t even taken two steps when the several laser cannons in the sky sweeped on the foggy ground. It became more and more dense and intense as it triggered a more powerful hurricane on his face.
Ming Huan did not know where he got the strength to pull back the hands of his teammate, and head in the opposite direction of the warplane directly to the side of a grotto to hide.
“That fighter is a decoy.”
“The top can’t see the bottom, so it’s sweeping around the fighter.”
Ming Huan last logged in on an upper gaseous planet and woke up just as the fighter was crashing. He thought last time was already hellish difficulty and did not expect this time to be better. He was afraid that warplanes did not even have to touch for them to lose their lives directly.
In the wind and sand, Ming Huan saw the model of the warplane. It was a two-man warplane.
“Then what should we do?” Noka also seemed to be torn.
“Is this really a Junior commander exam? it’s too hard.”
“It’s not hard.”
Ming Huan estimated the distance from the fighter to them, “It’s indeed elementary and gives a lot of information. Just drop, let us land right where we can see the warplane model – that’s zc980, the first defensive leapfrog warplanes made by the Empire in unison three thousand seven hundred years ago. It is very poor in offense, but has powerful defensive skills, and is a detection type warplane. The operator can unlock its protective shield function with a secret key within five thousand meters.”
“I didn’t expect you to look so bad in character, but you turned out to be so observant.”
Noka’s voice was happy and grabbed Ming Huan’s sleeve without knowing if he was praising him or scolding him, “Then, hurry up and unlock it.”
“Two questions. First, I’m not sure what the secret key is. Second, the laser that just attacked us was very strong in duration, it should be a fighter with strong pursuit performance, and it clearly located the fighter we’re about to use. If I had to guess, with the level of external shields on this fighter, it wouldn’t necessarily be able to support more than thirty seconds.”
Noka seemed quite regretful as it seemed that he was looking at the air fighter that was faintly visible outside the diffused yellow sand, “Then what should be done?”
“This kind of warplane was manufactured in three batches, and there are only three initial secret keys. I can try them out one by one.” Ming Huan sulked, “But once I start trying to connect the warplanes for the first time, the fuselage will respond whether it succeeds or not. The hunter-type fighters overhead will definitely be the first to sweep the positions within five thousand meters around the fighters, I’m not sure how many there are overhead, but once we are swept, it means ‘death’.”
Death meant the end of the exam.
“So, if the first secret key is wrong, then we have to gamble on our luck.”
Noka seemed to be nervous to the core for a moment, and his hands and feet stiffened, “What luck?”
“Luck is not getting swept by the laser cannon before I try out the real secret key.”
Although his words said so, Ming Huan was still very confident.
After all, he was the protagonist.
The protagonist had a halo.
Memory and observation were all incidental skills. The most useful thing in the so-called protagonist aura composition factors was something called luck.
“Then I’ll start trying.”


I really wonder how he didn’t pass the last exam if the other person did! 🤔
Cranewing, maybe because he didn’t try to
He must pass this time, surely; but when will he differentiate into an Omega? Poor Shuci, who loves him; when he does.
Thank you both for the chapter.
