Mia chuckled and said.
"Huh? If the doctor sees this later, he’d scold us for sure."
Rhein replied with a troubled smile.
"That’s why, Rhein, you should keep an eye on things outside."
Mia urged Rhein.
"Um..."
Rhein looked at Su Ming, unsure.
"Go ahead."
Su Ming didn’t want to dampen Mia’s spirits.
"Alright then!"
Rhein reluctantly left the room to keep watch outside.
"That’s more like it."
Mia happily opened a bottle of liquor and handed one to Su Ming.
"Huh? Drink it straight?"
"What else?"
"Alright then."
Su Ming took the bottle.
At this mont, Mia, feeling quite sentintal, said to Su Ming.
"You’ve got a tough life, surviving a hit from the Star Lord and all!"
"Teacher, are you wishing for my death?"
"Not at all, I’m just relieved. It’s rare that you survived a disaster. Let’s have a drink!"
"Alright then!"
Su Ming clinked the bottle with Mia’s and took a sip.
A burning sensation hit him instantly, and Su Ming looked at Mia in confusion.
"This drink?"
"Don’t look at , I couldn’t afford good stuff."
Mia replied guiltily.
"Seriously, you ca to see with such cheap booze."
Su Ming responded with a wry smile.
"I’m really broke, unlike your rich self!"
"Okay, I’ll send you so money later."
"No wonder you’re my good student, you’re the best! Let’s have another!"
Mia’s eyes lit up as she draped her arm around Su Ming’s neck, speaking excitedly.
Just then, Celeste’s virtual projection appeared out of nowhere, shouting.
"We’ve got a big problem!"
"Celeste, what’s up?"
Su Ming, also startled, looked at Celeste with a puzzled expression.
Celeste saw Mia and Su Ming with their arms around each other, bottles in hand, and quickly nagged.
"Oh, caught you sneaking a drink!"
"That’s not important right now. What’s the big problem? Are the enemies attacking?"
Su Ming replied awkwardly.
"No, but it’s more serious than that!"
Celeste quickly explained.
"Then what exactly happened?"
Mia also asked, bewildered.
"Check the Star Cluster Forum and you’ll see."
Celeste then told Su Ming and Mia.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming and Mia imdiately raised their wrist devices and logged into the Star Cluster Forum.
As soon as Su Ming logged in, he saw a conspicuous red post.
"The Final Ultimatum!"
Su Ming clicked open the post, and a video of Fanluo God Emperor popped up.
"Hello everyone, I am Fanluo God Emperor. It’s my honor to deliver the final ultimatum to you. From now, the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, Dark Star Empire, Chilami, and chanical Clan will form an alliance. In 48 hours, they will officially launch an attack on the Federation. If you don’t want to die, you’d better hand over the Dinsion Stone!"
After watching the video, Su Ming’s heart sank to the bottom.
Even though the number of enemies hadn’t increased, if Fanluo God Emperor’s four forces really collaborated to attack the Federation.
No matter how strong the Federation is, it would be impossible to withstand it.
"Su Ming, what should we do now?"
Celeste asked nervously.
"Don’t panic yet, let’s wait for Lord Long Bai’s decision. Things can’t get much worse than this."
Su Ming replied calmly.
"Alright."
Celeste nodded.
Su Ming then looked at the comnts below the post to see how the Federation’s citizens were reacting.
He discovered that the reaction was even more intense than he anticipated.
The post had been up for less than ten minutes and already had over a billion comnts, increasing by millions every second.
"What a huge joke, colluding with an alien race and acting superior."
"What should we do now?"
"Is the Federation really dood? Should we just hand over the Dinsion Stone?"
"I agree. Let’s hand it over!"
"Why should we hand it over, do they think they’re so great just because they’ve ford an alliance?"
"Yeah, who are they trying to scare?"
"We were the victors in the last war, how dare the losers threaten us, what nerve!"
"You can’t say that, they can lose countless tis, but we can’t afford another loss, are we seriously going to fight for the Third Planet again?"
...
The public continued to debate fervently.
Su Ming rubbed his forehead in frustration. As expected, serious internal conflicts had started within the Federation.
Buzz~
At this mont, Mia’s wrist device popped up with a notification.
"Dear Admiral Mia, the Federation Governnt will convene a full eting at 2 PM, please make sure to attend!"
Mia glanced at the ssage and imdiately told Su Ming.
"The Federation is holding a eting, are you going?"
"Do you think I can go looking like this?"
Su Ming replied sowhat helplessly.
"Alright, I’ll head out then!"
With that, Mia hurriedly left.
Soon, Su Ming was the only one left in the room.
"Sigh!"
Su Ming let out a soft sigh.
Just then, the door suddenly opened again, and Su Ming looked up in surprise to see Mia poking her head in, grinning.
"Don’t forget to send the money!"
With those words, Mia gently closed the door again.
"..."
