Chapter 806: Chapter 806: Old Chen’s Background

Being favored by General Chu Zhan, isn’t it a good thing?

How is that possible?

This is one of the top figures in the Alliance’s combat power. Even in retirent, she can lead a group of old n and won to beat interstellar pirates to the point of wailing and begging for rcy.

Ji You listened to Sheng Qingyan speak with indifference, plastering a flattering smile on her face as she urged Chu Jiaojiao, "Do you want to touch the left cheek or the right cheek? Stop dawdling, finish quickly so we can call Grandma soon."

Chu Jiaojiao: "..."

Everyone was left speechless.

Chu Jiaojiao’s fingers trembled slightly, feeling a bit unbelieving, she hesitated and said, "So... I touched it?"

Ji You: "Hurry!"

Chu Jiaojiao couldn’t believe her ears and confird once more, "Am I really touching it?"

"Hesitating!" Ji You frowned disdainfully and shouted, "Touch!"

That single word scared Chu Jiaojiao so much she withdrew her hand instantly, "This... this can’t be the real Ji You. I... I won’t touch it after all." She said, shaking, "I... I’ll just call my grandma."

Ji You rolled her eyes, "Coward."

The others also scolded, "Coward."

Looking at Ji You’s face so near, Chu Jiaojiao ultimately didn’t have the guts to touch it, giggling as she dialed her grandma’s number.

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene turned solemn.

Ji You straightened her back, standing upright, she even wished she could straighten every single strand of hair.

Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lou, and Lance also stood very upright, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, and Yue Qiguang, who were familiar with General Chu Zhan, didn’t overlook this either due to familiarity, straightening their backs completely, even Sheng Qingyan, who was grumbling dislike, swept away his usual laziness and stood properly.

Among them, Ji You felt Xuzhou was the most exaggerated.

Xuzhou, such an honest person, quietly moved behind Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao, which previously Ji You hadn’t noticed.

Noticing Ji You glanced at him, a flush crept onto Xuzhou’s stern face, he struggled to keep his tone calm, saying, "I just thought this spot seed spacious."

Ji You: "..."

Xuzhou: "Cough cough... the weather is hot, it’s windy here."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You was speechless for a mont but considering the awkwardness in Little Zhouzhou’s heart, she couldn’t help laughing, thus Ji You giggled, "Alright, stop explaining, I know you want to vie for Grandma Chu’s favor with , but—give up! Little Zhouzhou, you can’t win against ! I, Ji You, am an unrivaled little cutie loved by all."

Xuzhou: "..."

Xuzhou secretly muttered: Who wants to vie with you, I just thought by standing here, I could see General Chu’s face more clearly.

Of course, Xuzhou chose not to explain, knowing that if he spoke, number 4444 would undoubtedly seize his words and start nonsensical explanations.

Everyone held their breath, staring at Chu Jiaojiao’s light computer.

Beep~

Beep~

Beep~

...

However, on the other end of the contact number, no one answered, and it automatically hung up.

Chu Jiaojiao frowned tightly, annoyed, "That old woman, not answering! Has she gone off fooling around sowhere again?" Speaking, Chu Jiaojiao, with a hint of concern, hastily dialed again.

No answer.

Third ti.

Still no answer.

Chu Jiaojiao cursed, "That old woman must be chasing n! Absolutely! Really, at her age, can’t she just quietly dance in the square? Always running around, causing trouble."

With a bit of frustration in her tone, Chu Jiaojiao rubbed her head in a hurry, unwilling to give up, preparing to dial again... Shen Changqing suddenly suggested, "Otherwise, I’ll call my grandpa."

Chu Jiaojiao, slightly discouraged, said, "With my old woman not answering, you should ask your grandpa."

Shen Changqing: "Mm."

Ji You added, "Right right... asking General Shen is the sa."

Xuzhou, Zhang Ye, Lou, Lance, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan saw Chu Jiaojiao visibly lost in thought and agreed, "Ask General Shen, it’s the sa."

Shen Changqing was about to call his grandpa’s number when Sheng Qingyan, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly raised his eyelids and said in a huff, "Why call? No need, I know who he is."

Ji You: "Huh?"

Everyone turned their heads collectively, tightly staring at Sheng Qingyan.

Sheng Qingyan rolled his eyes and said, "Step back a bit with your big heads, I don’t swing that way."

Everyone: "..."

Ji You felt her hands itch, clenching her fists, "Speak clearly."

Sheng Qingyan said, "This is Senior Old Chen, I once saw him in my grandpa Elder Sheng’s graduation photo. His full na is Chen Ke, he was classmates with Elder Sheng, General Chu Zhan, and General Shen Chi, they graduated from the chanical Combat Departnt of Alliance First Military Academy."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and understood why they were familiar.

However, both Shen Changqing and Chu Jiaojiao listened and unconsciously frowned; Chu Jiaojiao said, "But, I have never heard my grandma ntion it, nor have I ever seen my grandma’s university graduation photo."

Shen Changqing replied, " neither."

"It’s normal that you haven’t seen it, perhaps these old folks don’t want to bring it up again." Sheng Qingyan’s originally casual tone suddenly changed, solemnly stating, "Because, in that year of graduation from Alliance First Military Academy, they coincidentally faced the outbreak of the beast tide, and without hesitation, headed to war. The class originally had 2180 students, but in their first battle, many were sacrificed, only 58 survived."

As the words fell.

Silence.

Dead silence.

Sheng Qingyan’s voice carried a hint of etherealness, "Chen Ke, Shen Chi, Chu Zhan, Sheng Zhengtang, these four are among the survivors. And, within those graduates, the strongest and most outstanding was not Shen Chi, nor Chu Zhan, not even Sheng Zhengtang, it was—Chen Ke."

Ji You was stunned, the others listened and also revealed confusion.

If Senior Chen Ke was the most outstanding and strongest, then... then how co now?

How... how could he be just an ordinary veteran at the Eagle Space Station?

Contemporaries General Shen Chi, General Chu Zhan, had both managed to beco Commanders of one of the Six Great Armies. Sheng Qingyan’s grandpa Sheng Zhengtang, though not continuing to fight on the front lines, was also a renowned starship designer.

Everyone couldn’t understand why.

Sheng Qingyan quickly provided an explanation, his tone carried a noticeable sigh, "Because, in that battle, exerting himself to the fullest, he sustained severe injuries, both ntally and physiologically deteriorated, once unable to pilot cha anymore. Later—details are murky, but through piecing together scant information, I deduced, Senior Chen Ke did not give up, after lengthy treatnts, he returned to the battlefield, but due to physical constraints, he could no longer pilot high-star chas."

"When he restarted, his forr classmates, once comrades, had already entered the military hierarchy. But he didn’t accept favors and care from classmates and comrades, choosing the harshest region to be stationed, working his way up step by step."

"From his return to the battlefield until now, one hundred and fifty years have passed."

"Throughout these hundred and fifty years...

"Chen Ke has been solitary, staying on the front lines, never leaving."
