Shen Bing was currently inventorying the military supplies and daily necessities purchased this time, as the round trip would take over a month.
Some supplies needed to be prepared in advance.
But even so, Shen Bing only purchased 50% of the military supplies because she considered this to be just an escort mission, and the difficulty should not be very high.
So, she did not purchase a full set of supplies.
Shen Bing looked at the expenses on the account sheet in front of her, her expression slightly furrowed, and then she looked at the remaining balance.
There was still a long way to go to cover her grandmother's treatment costs.
Six months...
This mission was crucial; although the share of the remuneration she might receive would be small, it was still a considerable amount, several times more than the regular bounty missions in the academy.
"Grandma... wait for me!" Shen Bing bit her lip lightly.
Just then, rows of cargo boxes were transported to the cargo parking area outside the T2 Hyena.
"Hello, may I ask who Miss Shen Bing is?" a Staff member in a work uniform called out.
Calling me?
Shen Bing walked down the Starship in confusion: "Is there something you need me for?"
"This is a batch of military supplies you ordered. Please check them. Do you need us to move them onto the Starship?" the Staff member asked.
"Ordered military supplies?" Shen Bing was stunned and quickly said, "I didn't order any military supplies. Did you make a mistake?"
Looking at the number of cargo boxes, it was enough to put Shen Bing's T2 Hyena in a fully loaded and fully powered state!
This was Shen Bing's Starship, a treatment it had never received before.
"No mistake. It's your T2 Hyena, Miss Shen Bing from the North Star Starship Military Academy.
The payment has already been made by a gentleman; you just need to sign for it." The Staff member raised his hand, and a holographic electronic manifest appeared in front of Shen Bing.
Only then did Shen Bing see the name of the person who paid for the order.
Zhao Chen.
"It's actually Student Zhao Chen!" Liu Lili, who happened to be nearby, exclaimed.
Shen Bing clenched her fists. She was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, these are not the military supplies I need. Please return these military supplies to the gentleman who ordered them."
The Staff member hesitated and said, "Well... that gentleman said that if you insist on not taking this batch of military supplies.
Please read this short message before making your decision."
Saying that, the Staff member opened an electronic message.
When Shen Bing saw the content of the electronic message, her expression became lost, and finally, she whispered, "Xiao Li... please move these military supplies onto the Starship."
"Alright!" Liu Lili was overjoyed. This amount was enough to let their T2 Hyena 'eat its fill' this time.
Shen Bing stood by, watching the busy people.
She was thinking about the words the boy had left.
'If you can disregard the lives of the crew members who are willing to risk with you, you can refuse.'
Shen Bing thought for a moment. After asking the Staff member transporting the goods for the detailed bill of these military supplies, she sent a short message to that person.

Galactic Calendar January 20, 3031
An Interstellar Transport Ship Fleet consisting of three hundred T1 Starships slowly departed from the Northern Third Star System, steadily moving towards the galactic edge beyond the Star System.
Thirty-two escort Starships accompanied them.
"This is our navigation trajectory. Considering that T1 Interstellar Transport Ships are being used this time, we will perform three warp jumps.
In between, we will stop and rest twice, each time for half a day.
Ultimately, we will arrive at our destination, Liusha City Interstellar Fortress, on February 10.
After completing the unloading mission, we will return to the Northern Third Star System by the end of February along the same route, and the escort mission will conclude.
Does anyone have any questions?" A man with the military rank of Third-Class Sergeant looked at the four video windows in front of him.
They were Zhao Chen, Shen Bing, Leather Jacket Woman, and the Smoking Uncle.
This Third-Class Sergeant was the person in charge of this Interstellar Transport Ship Fleet. freewebnovel.cσ๓
"That's it then." The Smoking Uncle said.
Zhao Chen and the others also had no objections.
After setting the navigation route and time, everyone began to prepare to enter warp speed mode.
Because this time all Starships' warp speed modes had to be accommodated, the warp speed could only be at a secondary warp level.
After all, those T1 Starships were all equipped with secondary warp engines.
Otherwise, this journey, for Zhao Chen's t2 bee queen-class heavy carrier starship alone, would only take five days for a single trip.
"Report, formation completed, everything is normal. We will enter synchronized warp speed mode at 10:05." Lilith replied from the side.
Zhao Chen looked at the more than three hundred Starships on the Star map.
After discussions among several parties, Zhao Chen's T2 Queen Bee and the Interstellar Transport Ship Fleet were located in the center of the Fleet.
The remaining escort Starships were evenly distributed around the Interstellar Transport Ship Fleet.
As for the so-called synchronized warp speed mode.
It is a Fleet auxiliary system that allows an Starfleet in formation to enter warp speed at the same time and at the same speed; it will also decelerate and stop at the same time.
This ensures that after exiting warp speed, the Starships within the Fleet can still maintain a safe combat formation.
"That Captain Shen Bing doesn't seem to have accepted your kindness." Lilith took a moment to chat with Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's actions were not hidden from Lilith, including the ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) short message Shen Bing had sent.
The message content was that she accepted the batch of military supplies, but she considered it a debt to Zhao Chen, which she would repay in the future.
"That squad leader is just strong-willed. I also considered that when I challenged Zhang Haoran to a Starship duel, she was the only one in my class, besides Li Wei, who stood up to advise me... although her tone wasn't very good." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
In that situation, only Zhao Chen knew he could win that duel. For someone who had no relation to him to stand up and advise him, instead of scoffing like others, was already very good.
Lilith smiled and looked at Zhao Chen: "Commander, you don't just have such small thoughts, do you?"
Zhao Chen looked at Lilith's gaze and frankly said, "Alright, I admit. I have thoughts of recruiting her to be my subordinate in the future.
Her grades at our North Star Starship Military Academy are quite good, although she's not a gifted talent like my sister.
But she is also a very good prospect.
Most importantly, she is from a commoner background!"
Not being a noble meant there weren't too many conflicts of interest, and Zhao Chen could use her boldly. freёwebnovel.com
Lilith understood Zhao Chen's meaning and agreed, saying, "Indeed, very suitable, and our Xiaolong Fleet is also lacking in command talent in this area, but that squad leader seems a bit difficult to 'tame'."
"Let nature take its course. Let's complete this escort mission first." Zhao Chen shrugged.
Afterward, the system reminded them that they were about to enter deep space mode, and Zhao Chen and Lilith entered their hibernation pods, commencing this escort mission.
