The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 294 What are you looking at? Noticed my beauty?

During the internal discussion meeting in the afternoon, Lin Fu took the responsibility upon herself.

Originally, with Mervin there, this entertaining signature game would have been free points for them, but without Mervin, no one else had that kind of domineering presence.

"Of course, I can."

Lin Fu mimicked Xu Jinglan’s tone with a cold laugh, "When I say I’m second to none, no one dares claim the first place. This time, I want to knock down everyone who looks down on us from Elbert. Initially, I thought it was a pity to just compete against the freshmen, what’s the fun in that? The real thrill is to sweep everyone off their feet."

Xu Jinglan looked up at her with a strange expression.

"What are you looking at? Have you discovered my beauty?"

"I’m just wondering how thick your skin is. The media are all saying you’re full of hot air, a real blowhard."

"That’s slander." Lin Fu would never admit to it.

"Uh-huh! That’s what I think too." Xu Jinglan nodded with mock seriousness.

The two chatted casually for a while before returning to their own busy schedules. Whenever Lin Fu had free time, she’d quickly catch up on various general knowledge, browsing the Star Network to see strange creatures and experience different species and landscapes of the universe.

Xu Jinglan, on the other hand, spent most of her time playing flight simulator games. Now, the two of them had become true friends, no longer just roommates. As for He Shu, she had drifted out of their circle.

With Lin Fu as a point of reference, Xu Jinglan was no longer passively tolerant or conciliatory towards He Shu.

She once thought He Shu’s behavior was normal among friends, that unless she was friendless for life, she’d always encounter various problems.

But with Lin Fu’s arrival, Xu Jinglan realized that friendships aren’t supposed to be like with He Shu.

In this competition, He Shu performed average and didn’t qualify to participate. Ye Fei, however, did come, but as a logistics support staff member. She would only take part in the final team survival challenge, working with logistics professionals to handle supply matters.

Before long, Ye Fei came over to socialize, bringing lots of snacks. As soon as she walked in, she started complaining.

"Do you guys think the organizers are insane? They’ve chosen Helheim Star as the location for the final team survival challenge. They must have lost their minds; that hellish place is specifically for locking up extremely vicious criminals, and the survival conditions are atrocious."

"Will it be very dangerous?" Lin Fu asked seriously.

Ye Fei wanted to pinch Lin Fu’s cheeks upon seeing her expression, but she resisted, knowing well she couldn’t mess with someone of Lin Fu’s caliber without risking her own safety. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"Of course, it’s dangerous, extremely dangerous. The Empire’s Minister of Justice condemned it just last year, saying the death rate on Helheim Star was too high and suggested shutting down the prison."

"Wasn’t it because control was lost inside? Some prisoners escaped their confinement!" Xu Jinglan asked, puzzled.

"Indeed, that’s exactly what happened."

Ye Fei was well-connected and popular at school, definitely not something anti-social recluses like Lin Fu and Xu Jinglan could match.

"It’s said there were disputes when choosing the location, but ultimately, a vote decided on this spot. As internal undercurrents have been bubbling up within the Empire over recent years, many believe a civil war could very well break out, which means the training for Military Academy Students should not remain lukewarm; we need to see some real action."

"Internal undercurrents within the Empire?" Lin Fu latched onto the point that concerned her most.

"Yes," Ye Fei sighed, self-deprecatingly adding, "There’s a saying that circulates around interstellar space: ’The only one who can defeat the Galaxy Empire is the Galaxy Empire itself.’ Whether it’s the other two major authorities or countless smaller ones, we never take them seriously. Only a civil war is genuinely brutal."
