Shadows of the Deep Space

On the stage, although Gabres and others wore serious and tense expressions, their eyes revealed a hint of joy.

They could finally switch to the VI Generation Mecha, even though it wasn’t the version enhanced with the properties of the Primordial Stone. At least they could face VI-type Monsters head-on, relying on their own skills with a certain probability of victory.

Su Ming was also very pleased about Gabres and others changing their Mecha; the Federation was truly becoming stronger.

At this moment, Long Bai raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The noisy scene quieted down again.

“With this mecha upgrade, the strength of the Federation will achieve a qualitative leap. However, the Federation’s potential is far beyond just this; given a little more time, we will surely overcome difficulties, sweep across the universe, and spread the Federation’s flag throughout the Star Sea.”

Long Bai declared to everyone present.

“Long live the Federation!”

…

The crowd shouted excitedly.

“I hereby officially announce the end of this celebration.”

Long Bai formally declared to everyone.

Swish, swish!

Countless fireworks shot into the sky.

Bang, bang~

Countless magnificent fireworks burst open.

At this moment, Vice Chairman Long Chen stepped forward, speaking with a beaming smile.

“Everyone, it’s New Year’s Eve tonight, and many soldiers stationed abroad have just returned home. To let everyone have a family reunion, the Federation Government will not host the annual meeting this year. However, to celebrate the New Year, the Federation Government has specially invited Miss Hilis for a public performance at Starlight Square. If you have time, you are welcome to attend.”

“Miss Hilis!”

“That’s wonderful!”

…

The crowd cheered excitedly.

“Finally, thank you all for attending this celebration.”

Long Chen bowed to everyone.

Su Ming and others then stepped down from the podium.

Rhein and others gathered around excitedly, saying to Su Ming, “Boss!”

“Here you go.”

Su Ming directly handed the V-type Gene Potion in his hand to Rhein.

“Boss, is this the V-type Gene Potion? Even the casing looks so high-tech!”

Rhein said excitedly as he took the cryo-box.

“If you like it, it’s yours.”

Su Ming said to Rhein with a smile.

“Huh, giving it to me? Boss, are you kidding?”

Rhein replied incredulously to Su Ming’s words.

“When have I ever joked?”

Su Ming patted Rhein on the shoulder; to him, this V-type Potion was no longer useful, as he had already taken the first-generation version, which was even more effective.

“Thank you, boss, but I haven’t even taken the IV-type Potion yet.”

After Rhein’s excitement, he was also a bit at a loss.

In fact, Rhein only used the III-type Gene Potion after being promoted to Major General; the IV-type Gene Potion is typically only accessible to those at the Admiral level.

“No worries, there’s still an IV-type Gene Potion in my room; I’ll give it to you as well.”

Su Ming said to Rhein with a smile.

“Boss, I’m so touched; I don’t even know how to repay you.”

Rhein’s eyes were red with emotion as he heard these words.

“Get lost, don’t act like a damsel.”

Su Ming said as goosebumps rose all over him.

“Exactly!”

Ankaga and others also joked enviously.

At this time, Hilis, Vivian, and others came over, smiling and said to Su Ming, “Su Ming, congratulations!”

“You look more handsome in the Grand General Uniform!”

“Absolutely!”

…

“Thank you for the compliments.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

Then, Mo Xiu and Luo Kui came over, congratulating Su Ming, “Su Ming, congratulations on being promoted to General!”

“Likewise!”

Su Ming responded with a smile to Mo Xiu and others.

“Thank you for the help during the Mist Star Sea incident.”

“No need to be so formal!”

“Well, I was wondering if you have time; I’d like to treat you to a meal.”

“How about another day? I’ve been really busy lately.”

“I understand; let’s wait until you’re free.”

Mo Xiu replied with a smile.

At this time, Commander Alekde, Commander Soraya, General Gabres, General Sigurd, and others also came over.

Seeing this, Rhein and the others quickly made way.

“Su Ming, congratulations!”

Alekde and others congratulated Su Ming.

“Thank you.”

Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Junior, your promotion speed truly makes us feel ashamed! I remember during the Star Storage event, you were just a Major General, and now, in just a few years, you’ve become a General.”

Sigurd said with a hearty laugh to Su Ming.

“That’s thanks to the care from you seniors, and everyone else.”

Su Ming replied humbly.

“We wouldn’t dare take the credit.”

Sigurd and others responded with a smile.

At this time, Su Ming saw Goodman approaching, wanting to congratulate him but hesitant to come closer due to the presence of so many officers. Thus, he raised his hand to greet him initiatively.

“Old Man!”

Seeing Su Ming wave at him, Goodman was taken aback and took a deep breath, stepping forward with a smile to offer his congratulations.

“Lord Su Ming, congratulations on your promotion to General!”

“Thank you. By the way, everyone, let me introduce you; this is my friend Goodman.”

Su Ming said with a smile, introducing him to everyone.

“Hmm.”

Commander Alekde and others all looked at Goodman; for Su Ming to personally introduce someone as a friend was indeed rare.

Gabres recognized Goodman as his subordinate at a glance, and also knew he had been disciplined before.

Goodman was also stunned, not expecting Su Ming to introduce him to so many officers, this was clearly a networking opportunity, so he quickly spoke up.

“Hello, esteemed sirs.”

“Goodman, though you’ve made some minor mistakes, your recent combat performance has been outstanding. You’re reinstated to your original position!”

Gabres said solemnly.

“Thank you, Lord Gabres.”
