Port Asura

The Uranus had docked steadily in the port of the Interstellar Military Academy.

"Hmph."

As the hangar doors on the side of the battleship opened, a man and a woman descended the gangway. The man was handsome and dashing, while the woman was of unparalleled beauty.

The cadets below were stunned by both of them.

The man in front looked familiar. More importantly, he was already a Major General at such a young age?

"Damn, I remember now! Isn't that Lin Fan? How did he become a Major General in just two months? That promotion speed is terrifying!"

As for the one behind him, no one recognized her, but that didn't matter. It didn't stop everyone from being shocked by Liang Xue's stunning beauty.

Her looks were completely on par with Emma's, and combined with being three years older than Emma and the aura unique to years of military service, she had captivated everyone's gaze.

However, among the cadets, one person's focus was different from everyone else's.

Emma was staring at Liang Xue behind Lin Fan. Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but she felt an inexplicable sense of threat emanating from Liang Xue.

"Lin Fan, you're finally here. I tried to find that kid Liang Xingchen a few times, but he said you were in closed-door cultivation and couldn't get away."

As soon as they descended the gangway, Li Fulai immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"I apologize, Dean. I was in closed-door cultivation for a month, focusing on breaking through an important technology."

"It's fine, as long as you're here. I'm entrusting these cadets to you!"

"Understood!"

After speaking, Lin Fan brought Liang Xue to the front of the cadet formation.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Fan, I'm 19 years old, hold the rank of Major General, and I am currently the commander of the 101st Task Force Fleet."

It was a simple introduction, but Lin Fan could even hear people below swallowing hard.

After all, a 19-year-old Major General was truly terrifying; he was undoubtedly the youngest Major General in the Federation's history.

"Next, I will share my experiences from actual combat as much as possible. In one hour, everyone will gather in the academy's lecture hall. You are all dismissed!"

As the crowd gradually dispersed, one female cadet remained standing, looking at Lin Fan. It was Emma Campbell.

"Long time no see!"

Lin Fan approached Emma and greeted her.

"It has been a long time. You said you'd reach the rank of General within a year, and now you've done it in two months!"

"I didn't expect it to be this fast either!"

"So, do you want me to fulfill our past bet?"

...Huh? When did this girl become so direct?

Lin Fan had made a bet with Emma: if he reached the rank of General within a year, she would become his girlfriend.

Normally, Lin Fan would have said, "Of course, I want you to fulfill it."

But what could he say now? He felt a chill down his spine. Without a doubt, Liang Xue must be glaring at him from behind.

Just as Lin Fan was wondering what to do, Liang Xue's voice came from behind him.

"What bet? It sounds quite interesting, please do tell me!"

"Hmm, it's nothing much. Lin Fan and I made a bet, where he said he could reach the rank of General within a year, and if he succeeded, I would become his girlfriend."

"Sigh, how can you gamble with important life matters? It's really inappropriate. I think we should just forget about this bet!"

"No, once someone from the Campbell Family agrees, there's no reason to go back on their word!"

"Why are you so stubborn, child?"

"After all, this is a matter between us of the younger generation. I don't think this auntie needs to get involved, right!"

"Heh, it seems this cadet has a misunderstanding about titles?"

"Is that so? I was always taught that women over 20 should be respectfully called 'auntie,' otherwise it's quite impolite!"

"It seems the education in the Campbell family has some serious issues!"

Watching the two women chatting with smiles on their faces, Lin Fan felt like they were both demons.

If you didn't hear what they were saying and only saw their expressions during the conversation, you would definitely think they were sisters who got along very well.

But the key was, did you hear what they were saying? Every sentence was practically a stab to the heart.

"Lin Fan, when did you get involved with that kid Liang Xingchen's daughter?"

Li Fulai also heard the two women's conversation. He stepped forward and stood beside Lin Fan, asking with a smile.

"Dean, you're making fun of me too? The relationship between Liang Xue and me is complicated; it can't be explained in a few words."

"Then how do you plan to handle this situation?"

Seeing Li Fulai looking at him with that roguish smile, Lin Fan felt speechless. What else could he do? Force the issue.

"Cadet Emma Campbell, did you not hear the dismissal order just now? Hurry back and prepare! Also, Deputy Officer Liang Xue, are you too idle and chatting here aimlessly?"

Lin Fan suddenly exuded the imposing aura of a superior. This sudden roar startled both women.

The two women's eyes widened instantly, and they stared at Lin Fan in disbelief.

Li Fulai, standing nearby, secretly gave a thumbs-up, his face filled with admiration.

"After graduation, I'll be going to Mars Base. I'll lend Lin Fan to you for a few months!"

This was Emma.

"You're welcome anytime. I'll train you well then!"

This was Liang Xue.

After speaking, they glanced at each other before turning away. Emma walked into the campus, while Liang Xue went to Lin Fan's side.

Seeing them separate, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to call Li Fulai to enter the campus with him, he heard a soft voice beside him that only he could hear.

"Don't touch me for a month!"

Pfft. Lin Fan turned to look at Liang Xue, who was sulking, feeling a bit helpless. It seemed the plan for his "primary" and "secondary" wives was a long and arduous journey.

At three in the afternoon, Lin Fan entered the grand lecture hall of the Interstellar Military Academy. The moment he stepped inside, a system voice sounded in his mind!

"Ding, deliver a speech that shocks the entire audience. (Upon completion, you will receive Quantum Communication Technology as a reward.)"

Lin Fan checked the mission. Honestly, the requirement of a hundred formation changes would be very difficult even for Liang Xingchen, but for Lin Fan, it was practically a mission to receive rewards.

After all, since obtaining the System, Lin Fan had experienced at least thousands of fleet battles, with opponents that the System had realistically simulated based on various interstellar civilizations.

In the process, Lin Fan had encountered far more than a hundred formation and change-of-formation methods; he had seen hundreds of them.

Walking to the podium, Lin Fan surveyed the more than 300 cadets from the command department below before speaking.

"Fellow cadets, we'll be covering a lot of material today, some of which will even subvert your current textbooks. Therefore, I have only one request while I lecture!"

Lin Fan paused, cast a deep glance at Li Fulai, who was attending as an auditor, and the assembled instructors, then uttered a sentence that caused everyone to gasp in astonishment!

"Forget the useless knowledge in your textbooks!"

This is the second chapter of today's bonus update.

I had intended to post it this afternoon, but some things came up and caused a delay. I sincerely apologize.
