I farmed in military academy and crushed the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 68 Glory Belongs to Lin Xiaohe!

When in doubt, ask your mother.

Weasley was furious, pacing around the suite: "Damn it! They actually used such despicable means to persecute a hero of the Federation."

He pounded his head with his fist, filled with remorse: "What a despicable character! I was so blind to have ever admired that person!"

He rushed to Melina, like a pitiful puppy: "Mom, I'm so sad. My savior, my idol, my god, is being treated unfairly. My heart is breaking. Is this still our great Federation?"

Melina placed her hand on Weasley's head and comforted him, "Good boy, don't be sad. No one can take away a hero's glory; the glory will only belong to Lin Xiaohe!"

Melina is a woman of her word, a woman of her word, and a woman like a female eagle.

With her promise, Wesley felt relieved: "Mom, should we tell Lin Xiaohe?"

Melina winked at him: "Silly boy, of course we can't tell her. How can we let something so rubbish spoil her good mood? She should enjoy this happy time to the fullest."

"Okay, Mom."

Melina is very efficient.

That evening, she learned the whole story through her connections.

The military originally intended to grant Lin Xiaohe the rank of captain, but this was met with strong opposition from within the organization.

The other party used the 50 star coins as a pretext to not only suppress his military rank and prevent him from being promoted, but also demanded that he write "morally flawed" on his performance evaluation form.

Because of significant internal disagreements, the commander of the Fifth Star Ring Military Region made the decision to consult the opinions of the parties involved and their parents.

Simply put, Lin Xiaohe's future is in the hands of the soldiers, the examinees, and their families.

Melina's eyes were cold, and she revealed a disdainful sneer: "Indeed, this is his usual style of doing things, insidious and utterly despicable."

He doesn't dare to confront people directly, and only resorts to underhanded tactics behind the scenes. No wonder he has a bad reputation and is looked down upon by those privileged individuals.

Melina's response was decisive and effective.

She added all the parties involved, except Lin Xiaohe, to the group chat.

I am Melina, the head of the Fourth Star Ring Education Bureau, and also the mother of student Weasley.

She recounted how someone had contacted Harrett, and then made a promise.

Lin Xiaohe is Weasley's savior and a highly talented and capable genius. Her future should be bright, not succumb to the underhanded tricks of a despicable person.

[On behalf of my family, I promise that as long as everyone answers the military's questions honestly, I will compensate everyone for the 50 in the examination hall and the 200 million star coins offered by the other side. If the other side resorts to any means other than money, I will also help resolve the trouble for everyone.]

Weasley sat next to Melina, holding two hundred anonymous savings cards worth $250 million each.

If any test taker wants to transfer money, they can do so directly. If they want an anonymous card, bodyguards will deliver it to them.

Problems that can be solved with money are not really problems.

Melina leaned back on the sofa, staring intently at the screen.

As the director of the education bureau, she knew how difficult it was for ordinary students to climb the social ladder.

She absolutely would not allow anyone within her sight to rely on their family's power and try to break the wings of a commoner genius over a trivial matter!

What's more, this genius was also her son Weasley's savior and idol!

For a few seconds after she finished speaking, the group was silent. Then came a flurry of message notifications, like mushrooms after rain.

[Barnett: What?! Someone actually tried to interfere with the military's awarding of military merits?! What do they take our soldiers' beliefs and sacrifices for?! If he dares to show his face in front of me, I'll beat him to a pulp!]

[Etude: Mrs. Melina, please rest assured. Our family are honest and upright people, and we are sincerely grateful to Lin Xiaohe. We will not accept a single star coin from anyone.]

[Kori: 200 million Star Coins? That's not even enough to buy my figurine. My admiration and gratitude towards her are priceless! No one can buy my feelings for her with money.]

[Harrett: That's right. If Mrs. Melina needs it, I have video and physical evidence of their attempt to bribe me and interfere with the military's decisions. I and my family are willing to testify in court.]

……

Messages kept scrolling by, some expressing anger, others firmly stating that they would never accept bribes from the other party.

Weasley tallied the responses, and found that everyone had spoken; no one had asked him for compensation.

This result was unexpected for the mother and son; they had prepared all the money, but couldn't spend it.

Weasley's nose stung with tears, and he said in a muffled voice, "Mom, Eber's family is very poor. He said his father only earns 80 star coins a year, which has to cover his education and buying him a mecha... Mom, how about we make it up to him?"

Eber has a strong sense of pride and is unwilling to show his poverty to the outside world.

Their family faced the temptation of millions of dollars, yet they remained true to themselves, which is truly admirable.

Melina took the initiative to call Harrett, but after hearing her purpose, he decisively refused.

"I appreciate Mrs. Melina's kindness, but I cannot accept this money."

"Firstly, because our financial transactions could be used against Lin Xiaohe. Secondly, because Eber is my child, and in my heart, he is priceless. I want to show him through my actions that judging whether someone is a coward is never about money or status, but about their character."

“He made a choice, and that choice proves he is not a coward, but an upright man. I am his father, and I must set an example for him.”

These words deeply moved Melina.

She secretly made a note of the Harlett family, and if the right opportunity arose, she would be willing to lend them a hand.

Melina felt that tiny forces converged into a vast ocean, supporting her in upholding her choice.

Thank you everyone. Glory belongs to heroes, and to Lin Xiaohe!

Everyone replied in unison: 【Glory belongs to Lin Xiaohe!】

In order to minimize external interference, the commander of Gonggong Star strongly requested that the consultation operation be launched as soon as possible.

Within two days, military personnel began visiting each soldier and examinee.

In front of the lie detector, their eyes were so firm and powerful, and their answers were so resounding.

"Lin Xiaohe's actions were absolutely correct. We had all given up at the time, but she bravely faced the danger and saved us."

"I'll give you 50. Can you save me from the Star-Eating Bird's beak? If you can't do it, why make things difficult for those who can?! I'm giving this money voluntarily, and I even think it's too little."

"Lin Xiaohe's achievements deserve the rank of major. It's disheartening for us Federation soldiers to make things difficult for a hero over such a trivial matter."

"If you dare to steal her credit, I'll sue you! I'll sue you all the way to the Fourth Star Ring, the Third Star Ring, and all the way to the council!"

"The glory must belong to Lin Xiaohe!"
