It was still a field, and the golden waves of wheat looked even more charming under the drizzle.
The sky was already bright, and a "Kitty Hawk" military transport ship was anchored in the field. This was the suburb of Verdant Tarn Town. It was reasonable to say that all land transport ships should enter the port, but when he saw the Empire logo and the unique military logo on the hull of the ship, Ding Meng was relieved.
Qu Xiaoqing stood by the cabin door, and behind her was always the unassuming, polite, and smiling Sister Zhong.
If a transport ship was anchored here, just by looking at Qu Xiaoqing's youthful and fashionable dress, people who did not know would definitely think that this was a beauty waiting for her boyfriend to go on a trip together.
However, Ding Meng really did not have any characteristics of a "boyfriend". After a night of walking, his whole body was already wet. His clothes were originally tattered, but fortunately, the night of heavy rain had already washed away the blood on his body.
Xiao Qiu was not bad. Needless to say, her clothes were tattered, but after being washed by the rain, her face was a lot cleaner. Except for the purple scar mark, Xiao Qiu's appearance was at least not ugly.
"Ding Meng, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Qu Xiaoqing greeted him.
When she came up, Sister Zhong's wristwatch was already turned on. She glanced at Xiao Qiu slightly and carefully looked at Xiao Qiu's identity record before nodding at Qu Xiaoqing.
How could their connection be hidden from Ding Meng's eyes? He simply took the initiative to explain, "Xiao Qiu is also an interstellar refugee. She's my neighbor and has nowhere to go. She won't drag me down."
This was the excuse he had thought of on the way here. After all, there was an extra person for no reason, and it was different from what they had originally discussed. If Qu Xiaoqing only needed him to participate, then he could only contact Yu Man and think of a way to get Xiao Qiu to go to Listin Academy.
Unexpectedly, Qu Xiaoqing smiled generously and said, "Ding Meng, don't worry. I don't know the specifics of the mission, and it's not up to me to decide how many people are needed. Let's get on the ship first."
Ding Meng was a little surprised. "Where are we going now?"
Qu Xiaoqing's answer surprised him even more. "The International Space Station of TT12."
The space station was a space station. It was a spacecraft that operated in the near-Earth orbit of the planet for a long time.
However, in this era, the space station had long left the category of spacecraft. Take the space station of planet TT12 as an example. It was a huge fortress formed by three general-purpose starships, operating in the outer orbit of planet TT12. At the same time, it continuously and seamlessly docked with various large spacecraft, cruise fleets, space workstations, and motherships of the same level.
Strictly speaking, the space station had completely become a small satellite of the planet. At the same time, it was also the planet's largest port. Any large fleet or ship passing through this star field had to enter the port for inspection. Only after obtaining authorization could they sail or land on the planet.
In theory, the space station was not equipped with offensive weapons, but it had very comprehensive detection, protection, long-range, transmission, positioning, and other systems. Its main purpose was naturally to protect the star field and the main planet. The International Space Station allowed ships from different countries to dock. As long as it was legal, followed the relevant regulations, and had a pass, even the ships of the Frogman Kingdom and the Devourer World could dock at the port.
This way, the International Space Station could be gathered at any time by an unfathomable force.
Chu Yifeng's Sea Heaven's Pole Island was powerful enough. In his eyes, the space station was a large target in space. However, if this space station happened to be docked with a fleet of the Norse Empire, then Chu Yifeng could only obediently run with his tail between his legs. If the fleets of the Empire, the Frogman Kingdom, and the Devourer World were playing here, and he wanted to provoke them, he would be courting death.
The International Space Station of planet TT12 was extremely large. From afar, it looked like a great wall of steel in space. The overall shape was like two "H" letters stacked together. All kinds of ships, large and small, were constantly coming in and out. Among them, there was no lack of large starships of the Empire docked at the giant launch pad of the space station. It was an extremely spectacular and shocking sight.
Nebula TCP121 was at the edge of the Norse Empire, and planet TT12 was the border. Therefore, large patrolling fleets of the Empire were often docked here. On the other hand, the backward border planets had stronger security.
The Kitty Hawk transport ship that Ding Meng and the others were on was like a mosquito flying into a pile of steel in this magnificent space station. If not for the advanced quantum radar scanning, the transport ship would not be visible to the naked eye.
After entering the port for a routine inspection, the transport ship was allowed to enter Entrance 38. The interior of the space station was not like the starships, which had metal passages and command halls everywhere. It was completely like an office area on land. The blue sky, white clouds, green water, and green mountains were projected through the crystal glass to make the staff, who had lived in space for a long time, feel less monotonous and boring.
As soon as Qu Xiaoqing got off the ship, a staff in uniform came forward to greet her. She took a small shuttle car from the station to the designated area of the space station. As for the specific location, Ding Meng could not remember and was too lazy to remember. Anyway, the shuttle car made several turns and drove for more than ten minutes before entering a building that looked like the advanced training center of the Listin Academy.
The building had a total of twelve floors. Ding Meng and her group were brought directly to the top floor. The top floor seemed to be a simple meeting room. Looking through the window of the meeting room, it was actually the main entrance of the Lissten Academy. The baroque style church building was surrounded by a cluster of golden ginkgo trees, reflecting the clear blue sky above. A romantic and beautiful feeling spontaneously arose spontaneously. This was obviously the effect of the crystal glass.
Only then did Ding Meng realize that there were still people sitting at the oval conference table. There were three men and two women, a total of five people. From their appearance, they were all young people about his age.
"Ding Meng, this is the team I've formed. They're all from planet TT12, so we'll be companions from now on. Finally, all of us are here."
Qu Xiaoqing was obviously in high spirits at this moment. It was obvious that she had spent some time in order to form this team.
Those who were chosen by Qu Xiaoqing were naturally not weaklings. Before Ding Meng could even open his telekinesis vision, he felt an oppressive heat pressing down on him. A burly man with an ordinary face had already reached out his hand and introduced himself. "Long Ming, Long as in flying dragon, Ming as in whistle. Hello, welcome to the team."
Although this man's appearance was very ordinary, his words were concise and full of energy. It was obvious that he was a thermodynamic Origin Energy user. Most importantly, Long Ming's manner was extremely calm, which was not a temperament that someone of his age should possess.
Qu Xiaoqing smiled. "Ding Meng, you might not know this, but Brother Long is also a student of our Lissten Academy. He definitely won't have a problem passing this year's exam. His overall strength is ranked third in our academy, and he is undoubtedly one of the best in the Northern District's thermodynamic Origin Energy user."
Long Ming shook his head slightly. "Miss Qu, you flatter me."
Ding Meng nodded politely. "Hello, Brother Long."
Long Ming replied politely, "Ding Meng. You can just call me Ah Long."
"Ding Meng?
Sister Qu, did you say that his name is Ding Meng? "A shrill and surprised female voice rang out from the side.
He turned his head and saw a beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth walking over. She had a slender figure, light steps, and long hair. She was wearing a set of standard pink sportswear, and she looked bright, confident, and cheerful.
This girl gave off the feeling that as long as you looked at her, you would feel extremely happy.
Qu Xiaoqing introduced her, "This is Sister Xing Yi. She's from Starry Sky and Yi from Arts. She's also from Listin Academy. She's an expert in the Western District's Combat Department and is ranked in the top ten."
Xing Yi hesitated. "Are you that … Let me think. Right, I remember now. I heard that there is only one student in the Western District's Classical Swordsmanship Department, and that student is called Ding Meng."
Qu Xiaoqing smiled. "Yes, that's him. Teacher Zhao's favorite student, Ding Meng."
At this moment, Xing Yi looked at Ding Meng with not only surprise but also admiration. "I heard that Sister Hong from the Northern District's Fighting Department was beaten to a pulp by you in just a few moves?"
Qu Xiaoqing nodded. "I can confirm that because I was there at the time."
"Wow, wow."
Xing Yi suddenly jumped up. "Well done. Our academy finally has a manly student standing up for justice …"
She immediately gave a thumbs up to Ding Meng. "Good job, Brother Ding Meng. I admire you. You are really my idol."
"Yo, yo, yo, this wild girl."
Little Rascal was immediately dissatisfied. "Look at how excited she is. How difficult is it to deal with a rookie like Sister Hong?
Idol? Ding Meng, are you the target of her disgust? "
Ding Meng could only lower his eyelids and not answer. If he dared to answer such a topic, Little Rascal would immediately start his' beauty review '. The final conclusion would either be to "date her" or to "try her hand".
Yes, yes. To be honest, Ding Meng also wanted to do such a thing. However, it was just a thought because at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
"What is Hong Mei's ranking? If I remember correctly, she is ranked 19th. Defeating a 19th ranked origin ability user, what is there to be proud of?"
The person who spoke was a tall and thin boy. His face was very delicate and his hair was a bit long. However, his face had a rebellious expression. Moreover, he was wearing a luxurious beige windbreaker. It seemed that he wanted to show off his elegant and free temperament. Unfortunately, he was too young. Some temperaments could not be embellished by his expression and clothes.
For some reason, a similar person appeared in Ding Meng's mind when she saw him: a pair of deep eyes, a handsome and sunny face, a mysterious and confident smile, chatting and laughing amidst the fierce and perverted pursuit of the enemy, operating the Swordfish spaceship to perform amazing dodging in the rain of bullets, even in the face of imminent death, he still remained calm and maintained his poise. Even if he was wearing a tattered crew uniform, that aristocratic elegance was something that the boy in front of her could not compare to …
That man named Xin Jie, where did he go?
I wonder if he's still alive?
Xing Yi's voice pulled Ding Meng back from his thoughts. "Randy, let me ask you. Did you enter the top 20?"
This boy named Randy had a face of disdain. "Strength has never been reflected by ranking."
Xing Yi blinked and smiled. "Sister Qu also didn't enter the top 20. Is her strength inferior to Hong Mei's?"
"How is that possible?"
Randy's expression immediately changed. When facing others, he had a face of arrogance, but when facing Qu Xiaoqing, he was very gentle. "Xiaoqing, I think Hong Mei really wants to fight with you. She doesn't have a chance. Don't you think so?"
Qu Xiaoqing smiled very generously. "Randy, I still think it's better for you to call me Miss Qu. Otherwise, it will cause misunderstandings."
Randy's face suddenly turned red. He shouted, "That won't do. Xiaoqing, you are the best. Moreover, we have been classmates for many years. Of course, our relationship is different."
"Eh?
How is it different?
Tell me about it. "Xing Yi looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.
Randy was speechless, but his face turned even redder.
Ding Meng could see that this Randy was obviously Qu Xiaoqing's pursuer. However, he could not see Randy's strength because he could not feel any Origin Energy fluctuations from him. However, since he appeared here, there must be a reason for him to appear.
