Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chen Ming noticed this and asked, ”What’s wrong, is there something on my face?”

Cheng Xinghai shook her head.

She had been under the constraints of rules for the past nineteen years.

So she developed a new feeling towards Chen Ming, who had the ability to break rules targeting himself, retreat unscathed, and return under the protection of rules.

Admiration.

She admired Chen Ming’s actions today.

She admired Chen Ming’s power and courage to confront the rules at the Fourteenth Legion headquarters.

The power and courage to ignore all rules, eliminate all obstacles, and personally seize the results he wanted.

She wanted to become a person like Chen Ming; she also wanted to become such a powerful Psychic.

”I just suddenly felt you became a bit more handsome.”

Chen Ming didn’t quite understand Cheng Xinghai’s meaning, touched his face, and asked, ”Really?”

”Really, if only you weren’t so bad at gaming, you’d look even better.”

”There’s nothing I can do about that.”

The restrictions in games are much greater compared to simulated battles, and Chen Ming couldn’t use his Spiritual Energy.

At least in pure command skills, Chen Ming currently couldn’t match up to Cheng Xinghai.

So in some strategic games, Chen Ming tends to take a beating.

Unless it’s purely a reaction-based game, where Chen Ming, thanks to the consciousness strength and Thought Speed enhancement given by being a Psychic, has an advantage unmatched by others.

Then Cheng Xinghai realized something was amiss and forbade Chen Ming from using abilities beyond normal human capacities when playing such games with her.

Seeing Chen Ming looking as if he was resigned to fate, Cheng Xinghai chuckled and took his arm.

”Alright, let’s go find Xing He first.”

”Okay.”

Just as they walked two steps into the police station, Chen Ming suddenly remembered something and asked, ”By the way, has the rumor been resolved? If not, I’ll handle it.”

”No need, it’s already been resolved.”

”That fast?”

”Yes, someone took a photo of me meeting you in the library.”

Chen Ming immediately thought of the person he saw in the library earlier and said, ”Let me see.”

Cheng Xinghai blushed slightly, hesitated for a moment, then opened her terminal and handed it to Chen Ming.

”Here.”

Chen Ming took the terminal and glanced at it.

It was indeed from the perspective of that person in the library.

They captured Cheng Xinghai and Chen Ming gazing at each other in the library, with Cheng Xinghai crossing her hands behind her back, staring intensely at Chen Ming like a girl in love for the first time.

It completely destroyed the rumor that Cheng Xinghai was threatened into submission by Chen Ming.

A perfect pair, good-looking and talented; who were those gossips in the school forum to question?

Time quickly flew to the next day.

Originally, Chen Ming was staying in the dormitory of the teaching area with Bai Quan.

But early in the morning, Bai Quan took Chen Ming to his home at the headquarters.

Today, the old Admiral wasn’t feeling well and didn’t come, so Bai Quan had time to go home with Chen Ming to prepare for the engagement banquet.

Bai Quan’s home was relatively closer to the outskirts, in an area specially reserved for the families of active military personnel, with guards on duty, ensuring security.

Bai Quan piloted the shuttle boat, landed there, and took Chen Ming all the way home.

The door was opened by Chen Ming’s future mother-in-law, who was probably only around thirty years old, quite young, and looked very gentle and virtuous.

Even though Bai Quan seldom returned home due to work, there was not a trace of resentment in her eyes.

One must say, Bai Quan was lucky to have adopted two war orphans at seventeen and finally married his wife.

After Chen Ming met his future mother-in-law, under her gaze of appreciation for her son-in-law, Cheng Xinghai, who had arrived earlier, took Chen Ming to continue busying themselves.

It was crucial to decide the time and place of the engagement banquet early, so she had to talk to the wedding company in advance.

The rest, Bai Quan, Cheng Xinghai, Cheng Xinghe, and Chen Ming, needed to handle the more internal affairs of the engagement banquet.

Confirming which family and friends to invite to the engagement banquet.

Chen Ming valued the engagement banquet because it concerned his lifelong happiness.

However, Chen Ming didn’t have much to contribute.

After all, Bai Quan and his mother-in-law were taking care of almost everything for the engagement banquet.

If Chen Ming had grown up in a normal family environment, he would have to consider where to hold the engagement banquet, but being an orphan, headquarters would suffice.

Moreover, engagement banquets are mostly for the elders of both families to meet and discuss.

While Chen Ming’s only elder would be his boss.

But his boss was in Cai Mo, unable to return promptly.

So at most, there’d be a hologram to have an informal chat in the name of a mentor.

Most decisions were still up to Chen Ming.

As for inviting friends and family.

Chen Ming didn’t have many.

Those considered friends were from the Pirate Space Station: Bald, Old Wu, and the director.

Bald, who definitely caused trouble elsewhere, couldn’t make it, and Old Wu had matters to attend to, leaving only the director possibly available, but it was still quite far away.

Uncertain if they could make it in time.

Chen Ming suddenly remembered someone at headquarters he could invite: He Gu.

Chen Ming had planned to visit the Spiritual Ability Research Institute since He Gu had promised a new testing device, along with the honorary member status from the Legion Commander and items from the institute’s inventory for him to choose.
