"Could I speak with you for a moment?"
The man in military uniform said to the two of them. Hui Xingxiu and two others consciously said, "We'll go back to class."
However, even though they said this, the three of them just ran to the side, and they still had training to do later.
The man, seeing the three of them pushing and shoving each other as they playfully left the training room, recalled their behavior when he first entered. He said jokingly, "It seems you guys have a very good relationship."
He said this to ease the mood, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
Meng Huai, the little one, wasn't nervous because of his attire, while Zheng Yiran didn't relax because of the joke.
This person could only clear his throat to alleviate the awkwardness. The atmosphere couldn't be turned around, so it was better to get straight to the point.
"It's like this, I'm here on behalf of the First Military District to invite you to join."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yiran looked at Meng Huai and then pointed to herself, "Inviting both of us?"
In her opinion, special recruitment like this was only suitable for someone with Meng Huai's strength. What right did she have to receive the same treatment as Meng Huai? She thought for a moment, could it be because of the perception barrier during the last match!
As expected, Zheng Yiran's expression explained everything. Seeing her doubt his ability, the man smiled and said, "That's right, both of you. You know, there aren't many people in the army who can release a perception barrier now, so you don't need to doubt your abilities."
Hearing this, Zheng Yiran showed an expression of "as expected." Then she looked at Meng Huai and smiled at the man, "If it's because of the perception barrier, then I cannot accept the invitation of the First Military District."
Hearing Zheng Yiran's reply, the man was incredulous. However, Zheng Yiran continued, "Because that perception barrier of mine was just accidentally released. My current ability is not enough for the First Military District to specially recruit me, so I plan to take the exam myself after graduation."
Zheng Yiran thought to herself: To be honest, she was very tempted, but she couldn't complete her dream by relying on Meng Huai's brilliance.
At the Imperial Military Academy, eighty to ninety percent of the students wanted to go to the First Military District.
The man was clearly surprised by Zheng Yiran's explanation, but then he burst into laughter, "Since that's the case, I respect your decision and look forward to your future performance."
Zheng Yiran politely said, "Thank you."
Then the man looked at Meng Huai again, "What about you, classmate Meng Huai?"
Meng Huai said, "I'm sorry, I haven't thought about my future development yet and don't want to decide my future so quickly."
Hearing this, the man was even more surprised. Why were these two rejecting him and the First Military District? And what did this student mean? Did he want to go to another military district?
"Could it be that other military districts have extended an offer to classmate Meng Huai? We can discuss the benefits."
Meng Huai's performance in these military school leagues had been very outstanding, so it was certainly not just their First Military District that wanted to win over classmate Meng Huai.
Meng Huai shook his head, "No."
"No?"
"I really haven't thought about the future, and there are no offers from other military districts?"
This left the person from the First Military District speechless. "If you don't want to join the military, why did you enroll in a military school?"
He couldn't understand this question at all and asked directly without beating around the bush.
Meng Huai thought to himself, she didn't apply to the military school! And people aren't allowed to go back on their word. Thinking about it, Meng Huai was still a bit annoyed.
"The Imperial Military Academy gave me the admission notice, I had to come."
Oh, hearing this answer, Zheng Yiran wanted to cover Meng Huai's mouth.
The man was speechless for a long time after hearing this. He didn't know why this person had an admission notice without applying to the Imperial Military Academy. But this was clearly not his business, and since it wasn't an offer from another military district, it meant Meng Huai simply didn't want to join the army, which made things difficult.
"Classmate Meng Huai, you can reconsider. After all, it would be a shame for someone with your abilities not to join the First Military District."
Meng Huai nodded, "I will consider it."
The man knew that he would return empty-handed today. He had come with high hopes but left disappointed. After a sigh, he left.
Meanwhile, Hui Xingxiu and the other two in the adjacent training room returned after seeing the man leave.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Hui Xingxiu was the first to ask.
"Yeah," Jing Yuancheng and Rong Feiwen also echoed.
Zheng Yiran briefly explained, "They came to recruit us into the First Military District."
Upon hearing this, all three were shocked: "What, what?"
"Could it be the legendary special recruitment?"
People who performed exceptionally well in military school leagues in the past had also encountered such special recruitments. However, there were very few freshmen participating in military school leagues, and it was basically for juniors and seniors who were about to participate in military district selections who had the opportunity for this special recruitment.
Therefore, it was truly the first time a freshman like Meng Huai had been invited by someone from a military district.
It was understandable that these people were so shocked.
Zheng Yiran nodded, "Yes!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, the others inquired about the outcome: "So, are you going? To the First Military District?"
Although the three hadn't heard their conversation, they recognized the man from his uniform as being from the First Military District.
They all looked curiously at Zheng Yiran and Meng Huai. Zheng Yiran shook her head, "No, we're not going."
"What!"
"You refused? You guys are amazing!"
Given this outcome, the three felt like they could kill the two of them. Such an opportunity was rare, and both of them had refused!
Zheng Yiran shrugged, "Alas, there's nothing we can do. They took a liking to the perception barrier during the competition, but that wasn't released by me!"
These people all knew that the perception barrier was released by Meng Huai back then, and then it was attributed to Zheng Yiran.
Zheng Yiran continued, "If I had really agreed to this special recruitment based on that, but then the truth would be revealed one day when I got to the military district. Wouldn't that be embarrassing! So it's better to take the exam with my own abilities."
The others nodded in agreement with Zheng Yiran's view. Then they all looked at Meng Huai, "What about you? Why did you refuse?"
Zheng Yiran directly answered for Meng Huai, "She said she hasn't decided what to do in the future yet?"
"Alright, alright."
"Used to it!"
"That's right, that's right. After all, you're very talented as a mecha master. Maybe you'll become a mecha master like me in the future!"
Rong Feiwen spoke of this possibility, and Hui Xingxiu refuted, "In my opinion, she should just be a boss. The only thing that makes her serious is making money."
Listening to Hui Xingxiu's words, the training room fell silent. Everyone looked at Meng Huai, and then Jing Yuancheng affirmed, "That makes sense!"
After all, not to mention the daily profits of the medicinal cuisine restaurant, just the various collaborations with the Tang Corporation alone, Meng Huai would have an income of hundreds of millions a day.
At this moment, Zheng Yiran wasn't thinking about Hui Xingxiu's words, but wondering if Meng Huai would still step forward if there was a crisis or problem.
