Lu Ze: “???” Didn’t this guy confirm it with him already? Why did he ask so many times?!
And why was the expression on his face weird?
However, in order to maintain the calm demeanor of a super prodigy, Lu Ze still kept a calm expression and refrained from asking questions.
It was so hard to act cool!
Lin Ling glanced at the strangeness in Lu Ze’s calm face and grinned. She suddenly had the desire to laugh. This idiot. Was this necessary! Nevertheless, she couldn’t really blow his cover at this moment, so she could only resist.
The youth looked down and then moments later, he shivered. He looked up at Lu Ze with fervor and saluted. “Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ze, welcome to Gracious System! Please wait, I will make the arrangements for you now!”
Lu Ze quickly nodded. “Okay, goodbye!”
Lu Ze could finally feel relieved. Just now, that guy’s glance was too odd.
“Hahahahaha….”
At this time, Lin Ling finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Lu Ze: “…”
When he turned around, he felt very wronged. “It is hard for me to be serious, and yet, you are laughing at me! I need recognition and encouragement??!!”
Lin Ling rolled her eyes. “You also know that you are not serious?”
Lu Ze: “…”
The young man had said he was going to make the arrangements for them. As such, their ship didn’t have to enter the line. It just floated on the side.
Soon, half an hour passed.
At this juncture, the communication request came once more. After Lu Ze accepted it, the youth appeared again. He still looked at Lu Ze with fervent eyes. “Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ze, the Gracious system defense force is ready. Soon, someone will come to greet you.”
Thereafter, Lu Ze and Lin Ling discovered a small fleet fly out of that huge space station. The two warships at the front were ten kilometers wide. There were tens of smaller warships following behind, as well as a few hundred smaller guarding ships.
Lu Ze and Lin Ling frowned.
Lu Ze asked, “Is there something wrong here? There is an entire fleet. Did you find the people of Eternal Life Palace?”
Lu Ze was even debating whether he should help if it was necessary.
After all, he had space jump god art. He could jump into the fleeing spaceships.
The youth then replied, “Report to Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ze, there are no situations. This fleet is for greeting you two.”
As soon as the youth finished his sentence, the atmosphere plunged into silence.
Lu Ze and Lin Ling: [?_?]
They looked at the massive swarm of ships in a daze.
Lu Ze’s mouth spasmed. He could not help rubbing his head.
So this fleet was here to greet them?!
He thought this person was just going to give them a special passage when he said he was making the arrangements.
Soon, the fleet came before their ship and surrounded it.
Their mission ship was only tens of meters long. It wasn’t even as big as the smallest guard ship.
After being surrounded, they couldn’t even see the other ships waiting in line.
The youth thought the two were shocked. He then smiled. “Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ze is a level two honor badge owner. He has a special contribution to the Federation. Now that the Gracious system is experiencing a special circumstance, he needs special treatment.”
Lu Ze: “…”
Lin Ling: “…”
The two glanced at each other. Both could see the dazed expression in each others’ eyes.
The youth saluted Lu Ze. “Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ze, the greeting ship will contact you.” This level 2 honor badge was too overwhelming. He felt he should use it less.
After saluting Lu Ze once more, the youth yelled excitedly, “It’s my honor to serve you, officer!”
Thereafter, the hologram of the youth disappeared. Lu Ze received another communication request.
A gray-haired middle-aged man appeared in the living room. He saluted Lu Ze seriously and said, “Mr. Lu, the vice commander of Gracious System’s defense force, Bazer, has come to greet you.”
Bazer didn’t address Lu Ze as lieutenant colonel since his military title wasn’t enough to receive such treatment.
Lu Ze’s mouth spasmed. He saluted back, “Thank you, Vice Commander Bazer.”
Lu Ze became speechless. With all this commotion, would something happen to his mission?
Bazer nodded. “We will now escort you to the Gracious System. If you need, Mr. Lu, we will escort you directly to your destination planet.”
Lu Ze felt dazed when he heard the words. “Don’t we need to be inspected?”
Bazer responded, “A level two honor badge owner doesn’t need to be inspected.”
Those who owned a level two honor badge definitely made substantial contributions to the human race. Whether it was from the contribution or the privilege, they were tied to the human race. They had no reason to do anything against humanity. Lu Ze finally felt better. This honor badge was useful… it was just too high profile.
Thereafter, Lu Ze gasped. He wondered what the people in the other ships would think after seeing this.
In fact, those passengers in the ships that were lined up saw this. They ended up completely dazed.
“What is going on?! An entire fleet is greeting someone?!”
“Which powerful figure came to the Gracious System?”
“By the looks of it, it should be at least a solar system level official or a level three honor badge owner?!” “They are not adequate for this at all. It must be at least a cosmic district official or level two honor badge owner!”
“That is insane!”
The special privileges of the honor badges were open to the public. This was respect and reward for them.
Only such rewards would encourage more talented people to contribute to the Federation.“I have taken a picture, but unfortunately, I didn’t see anyone.”
“It seems to be a small-sized private flying ship?”
“… I know that flying ship. It is the mission type flying ship from the Dawn System. My relative is a Dawn System student. I have seen such a flying ship before.”
“Really?! A Dawn System student?!”
Everyone was dumbfounded. Not even a young duke might have a level two honor badge!
“It might not be a student. A teacher can rent a mission ship too.”
Several people started to post this on social media.
A Dawn System student came to the Gracious System and had a fleet to greet him. He seemed to have a level two honor badge!
