Cannon fodder in the Interstellar

That night, during the agreed time, Ruo Manni entered the war realm with her friends. Over the years, their training had been so intense that their time in the war realm had been sporadic.

However, thanks to the solid foundation laid by these pioneering adventurers, the overall strength of the first guild in the capital city far surpassed that of other guilds.

At some point, it became almost an open secret in the youth division of the war realm that the president of the first guild was the Second Prince.

As a result, not only students from the Xuan Gu First Military Academy applied to join after reaching level ten, but many youths from other regions also sought membership, making the first guild in the capital city exceptionally talented.

Thus, even though Hebrew Adam, Ruo Manni, and Hua Deli, the three presidents and two vice-presidents, were often offline, their members still followed the plans they had set.

However, the exposure of Hebrew Adam’s identity brought about a very direct consequence: many girls in the war realm sought to win his attention.

Since he was fourteen, Hebrew Adam had rarely appeared in the social circles of the capital, and his daily schedule was kept confidential.

In the real world, there was no chance to meet him, let alone develop any deeper relationship.

Thus, the first guild in the capital city became the only channel to interact with the Second Prince.

In the first guild’s setup, members would be teleported to the guild hall upon entering, so if someone wanted to see a specific person, they just had to wait in the hall.

In the past, Ruo Manni and her friends had often subtly stirred the pot. After all, Hebrew Adam had always looked down on them, and when they saw him getting flustered by beautiful girls trying to charm him, it was both amusing and satisfying for them.

In recent days, whether intentional or not, Ruo Manni would see Brittany Beery talking to Hebrew Adam as soon as she logged in.

Today was no different; when Ruo Manni appeared in the guild hall, the first thing she noticed was Hebrew Adam engaged in conversation with a charming and attractive girl.

Hebrew Adam had his back to her, so Ruo Manni couldn’t see his expression, but she could clearly see Brittany Beery’s. The slightly shy look on her face was truly beautiful.

With the gossip expert Sheila around, Ruo Manni knew this girl’s real-world identity: Brittany Beery, a direct descendant of the Beery family, one of the top ten noble families.

Brittany Beery was also a student in the elite class of the Xuan Gu Military Academy, but she was two years below them. This girl likely had high potential for cultivation, as she was already a late-stage Level 4 warrior.

In the current world, Ruo Manni was unfamiliar with this, but in the novel, while the Beery family was one of the top ten families, it was quite different from the Hua De family.

Although the Beery family had a longer and more glorious history than the Hua De family, due to three consecutive generations of outward splendor but inner decay, the Beery family was now merely a shell of its former self, struggling to hold on.

The novel didn’t mention whether other noble families were aware of this situation, but it suggested that the Beery family’s decline was only revealed just as the aliens were about to arrive.

In the novel, the mention of the Beery family was brief, and Ruo Manni hadn’t thought about it until two years ago when she learned of Brittany Beery’s existence. She then remembered that Miss Brittany Beery was the official match for the second prince and that the Beery family was a steadfast ally behind him.

In the story, the second prince was portrayed as a reckless royal, and Brittany Beery ended up marrying him.

Given how impressive the second prince was in the current world, it was no wonder that Brittany Beery’s eyes revealed deep feelings when she looked at him.

So when Ruo Manni saw the gossip claiming she was to be the future second princess, her first reaction was to think of Brittany Beery, assuming the royal family and the Beery family had announced a marriage alliance.

Hebrew Adam’s attitude toward Brittany Beery was somewhat better than toward other girls trying to flirt with him; at least he didn’t make her feel too embarrassed, but that was about it.

Previously, her friends believed that Hebrew Adam was only being less stern with Brittany Beery due to the Beery family’s status, and in reality, he didn’t have any real feelings for her.

But after seeing them today, Ruo Manni changed her mind. If Hebrew Adam didn’t have some fondness for this girl, would he be so patient in listening to her? Would he make Brittany Beery blush so shyly?

Hebrew Adam usually treated other girls who tried to flirt with him with a cold, displeased demeanor and walked away.

Feeling a bit suspicious, Ruo Manni couldn’t help but take a couple more glances. Hebrew Adam turned his head sharply, and their eyes met.

In the past, seeing Hebrew Adam talking to Brittany Beery would have made Ruo Manni raise an eyebrow and throw him a teasing look.

However, those gossip stories affected her more than she wanted to admit. Not daring to act out, Ruo Manni quickly averted her gaze and turned to walk into her personal room.

After some quiet time that night, Ruo Manni couldn’t come up with any good strategies. So, she decided to play it cool, pretending she knew nothing, and maintain her original attitude.

Now, Ruo Manni’s cultivation had surpassed that of her peers, making the tasks in the youth group almost effortless for her. As a result, she spent most of her time in the war realm either cultivating in her personal room or assembling mechas in the manufacturing area.

She was responsible for assembling the level four and five mechas in the first guild, so even though she rarely did task runs, her contribution points were still higher than many others.

Just as Ruo Manni entered her personal lounge, she was startled to find Hebrew Adam following her in.

Hebrew Adam had access to her personal lounge, just as she had access to his room. However, this access was not exclusive; Ruo Manni had also granted it to Hua Deli, Dean Atchison, Mina-Olli, and Sheila, so it wasn’t anything special.

In the past, Ruo Manni had spent a lot of time alone with Hebrew Adam in this lounge, but she had never felt as awkward and uncomfortable as she did today.

“You actually dared to leave the little beauty behind.” The words slipped out before Ruo Manni could stop herself, surprised by Hebrew Adam’s presence and feeling awkward.

Hebrew Adam frowned and said irritably, “What are you talking about? She’s a member of our guild; there’s nothing special between us.”

Who says there isn’t? She’s your official match!

“What kind of look is that? I really have no relationship with her; you should know that best,” Hebrew Adam said, somewhat annoyed.

“Whether you have a relationship with her is none of my business,” Ruo Manni shot back.

Realizing that her response might not be right, she quickly changed the subject: “That thing online is causing quite a stir; what do you plan to do about it?”

“What thing? The future princess consort?” Hebrew Adam fixed his gaze on Ruo Manni.
