Chapter 1368: Chapter 1277: Interstellar Life 48

When Shuangshuang arrived at the meeting room, Sun Jie and a group of generals were already seated at the conference table.

After taking a seat, Shuangshuang apologized, "I’m sorry, I was being lazy and overslept, making everyone wait for me here."

"It’s nothing, Counselor Pei uses spiritual power, and the use of spiritual power requires substantial recovery time and rest."

The speaker was the deputy commander beside Sun Jie. As the chief genetic repair specialist in this operation, Shuangshuang was referred to by her title.

"Counselor Pei arrived just in time. We were just discussing the issue of presenting an award to Counselor Pei. Your spiritual power attack against the enemy commander played an indispensable role in advancing the war situation.

We have discussed among ourselves and believe that you deserve a significant commendation," said another deputy commander beside Sun Jie.

Shuangshuang smiled lightly and said, "These are within my responsibilities. There’s no rush for commendations. The urgent task now is to study the subsequent battle plans.

The Canglan Empire is always troublesome, clinging like a leech in every battle, and cannot be driven back with just one victory."

Sun Jie nodded, "I have long anticipated this would be a prolonged battle. Now, winning the first fight is great to boost morale..."

Military meetings are not like ordinary ones, going straight to the point, efficiently addressing the issues before adjournment, all within an hour.

After Shuangshuang left, she quickly gathered her genetic repairers for an emergency meeting, mainly to inquire about the number of injured and their treatment status this time.

To avoid affecting the treatment of the wounded, Shuangshuang only gathered her deputies and those free for a brief meeting, before delving into treating the injured soldiers.

The second battle commenced swiftly, and shortly after it began, Shuangshuang sensed the opponent’s spiritual power attack. This battle belonged to genetic repair specialists, and Shuangshuang focused her mind and engaged seriously.

Though the opponent’s spiritual power attack was strong, it couldn’t harm Shuangshuang due to her formidable spiritual power.

Yet, though the opponent couldn’t harm Shuangshuang, they successfully restrained her, preventing her from attacking them.

The war with the Canglan Empire was a lengthy three-year battle. Upon victory and return to the Capital Star, feeling the peaceful mundane life, Shuangshuang felt as if it was a lifetime ago.

War is brutal. The life-and-death struggles on the battlefield, facing the deaths of close comrades daily, is an indescribable agony and despair.

Having once innocently aspired to be a soldier, Cheng Yunxi matured significantly after witnessing the battlefield’s cruelty, yet her initial wish to be a soldier defending her country remained unaltered.

However, after witnessing the battlefield’s ruthlessness—how the vibrant comrades who were joking with you one day could be blood-stained corpses the next—Cheng Yunxi finally understood her father’s opposition to her going to war.

It wasn’t opposing her dreams nor controlling her life but simply a father’s worry about his daughter’s safety and the fear of losing her.

Despite understanding, Cheng Yunxi felt guilty for not being able to follow her father’s wishes. The battlefield is harsh, but it’s because countless people spilled their blood on it that peace and harmony have been earned.

Cheng Yunxi had a heartfelt conversation with her father, finally sharing her thoughts over the three years at war, her lifelong dreams, and her journey sincerely for the first time.

Later, Cheng Yunxi told Shuangshuang that after hearing all her inner thoughts, her father cried, then chose to understand and support his daughter, feeling proud of her.

In this life, Shuangshuang didn’t abandon the battlefield nor her genetic repair specialist identity. In another way, she became someone as significant as a Federation Marshal.

Chi Ruiqiu and Du Qiyue were long forgotten by Shuangshuang, who only knew part of their story from Lan Ling, nothing much.

Rumor had it that Chi Ruiqiu and Du Qiyue married but divorced shortly after due to Du’s paranoia and Chi’s failure to charm women, despite being responsible.

With frequent small spats and significant quarrels, even the best relationship turned to ash, leaving behind only pale exhaustion.

Shuangshuang had lost interest in their outcomes and had no intense psychological reactions towards them now.

Due to mentor Sun Jie, Shuangshuang served continuously in the Fifth Army; Chi Ruiqiu joined his father’s army, stationed far apart, visiting occasionally was rare across numerous galaxies.

This life was fulfilling for Shuangshuang, leaving with no regrets when it ended.

"Special Handling Office No.1’s job advertisement." A girl dressed in black leather, with black gloves and an astonishingly beautiful appearance yet an icy demeanor, opened the card in her hand.

"Requirements for Special Handling Office No.1: formidable combat power, strong combat skills, otherwise we are not responsible if you die.

On-call at all times due to frequent emergencies, this is crucial and must be adhered to.

Upon entry, you must sign a life and death contract, acknowledging that the job is extremely dangerous and one might die unexpectedly; the faint-hearted need not apply.

Finally, high compensation with job benefits including a 300-square-meter duplex, a monthly salary of 100,000 with substantial task bonuses, comply with these requirements to succeed in applying.

This job is definitely a shortcut to wealth, but here’s a friendly reminder: money isn’t easy to earn; don’t pursue death for it; assess if you truly can earn it before applying."

Liu Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow. The job ad was quite unique, seeming more like a prank than a genuine ad at first glance.

In front of her, the vast and extravagant grand ancient architectural complex, resembling a small imperial palace, was the location of the Special Handling Office No.1 in her card.

The extravagance justified the generous hiring terms. With a cold expression, Liu Shuangshuang surveyed the place, then opened the great door and entered Special Handling Office No.1.

Liu Shuangshuang didn’t ring a bell or call for a guard because, despite the luxury, there wasn’t a single guard around, nor any way to summon someone.

Having waited two hours without seeing a soul, it was clear visitors were free to enter at will.

Upon entering, the doors Liu Shuangshuang had opened wide shut themselves with a bang, and she distinctly saw that they locked themselves too!
