Chapter 22: The Eve of Departure

"Every man hopes that one day he will be able to conquer a starry sky."

Guding couldn't remember where he saw it, and he couldn't remember when he saw it. Just when he saw this sentence, he wrote it down, he didn't know what other people's dreams were, but he knew that his own dreams were described in this sentence.

The Age of Interstellar Discovery, from the ancient era of intelligent life civilization development to a certain stage has begun, from now is afraid that there are trillions of years, at that time even the Dragon Universe was not born.

But until now, no one has ever set foot in the entire cosmic sea. In fact, the vast majority of people have never left their own star field in their lives, let alone stepped out of their cosmic country.

Gooding grew up in Aquamarine, and the farthest he ever went was Mars, when he was doing survival simulation training at the Military Academy.

When everyone knew that Dao Guding had spent three million star coins to buy a young eagle, they were all a little stunned. One reason is that no one knows that Lu Dao Guding has such a large deposit; And an even more important reason is that the only time Gooding left Aquamarine before was with the military academy's spaceship, and he himself had never traveled alone.

The Eagle is not actually a regular starship, its prototype is the military's short-range combat spacecraft, with an internal area of only about 8 square meters, and can only carry out short-range voyages in small star fields. But this model is also the cheapest interstellar vehicle, and Gooding has no second option at all. Of course, the manufacturer is also quite kind, and there is no way to improve much in terms of performance, so they instead focus on the appearance, so this model is beautiful. In Gooding's words, it's very handsome!

After purchasing the Eagle and some necessities, Gooding took the time to submit his withdrawal application, and as for the reason for dropping out, Gooding did not hide it at all, he wrote, "I decided to chase my dream of becoming an interstellar pirate. ”

When Gooding submitted the application, Dean Grant happened to be idle, and he saw a withdrawal application suddenly pop up on the office screen, and his expression was indifferent. Although this is a basic military academy, if you can enter the higher military academy after graduation, you will have a bright future, but he has seen a lot of students drop out for various reasons over the years. Moreover, those who voluntarily submit withdrawal applications are generally better students, and they may have other plans for their lives.

Grant's deepest impression was that more than 20 years ago, a student submitted a withdrawal application and turned to the sea to start a business. Now more than 20 years have passed, and the young boy has become one of the top ten richest people in the Tianhe Star Domain. Grant vividly remembers the teenager writing in the Reasons for Dropping Out column, "After more than two years of study, I found that I was not fit to be a federal soldier, and I also found that I had a certain talent for business, so I wanted to drop out of school and start a business." ”

Grant replied to the teenager with a long letter that did not mention the inappropriateness of dropping out of school, but rather an attitude of encouragement throughout. It was only at the very end that he left a paragraph:

[If you're sure that something you really want, go after it.] Whether the results are not what you expected, you will reap the rewards. The doors of the Aquamarine Basic Military Academy are always open to you! 】

Seeing Gooding's reason for dropping out, Grant shook his head helplessly. As early as when Gooding gave a speech at the opening ceremony in his first year, he had a vague premonition that the child might drop out of school. Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Grant is still glad that his premonition was wrong, Gooding's studies have ended, and he will get his graduation certificate in a few months.

Gooding's withdrawal from school is something that Grant is very unwilling to see, although this child is only a first-order gene, but he has a good chance of being admitted to the Higher Military Academy. After entering the Higher Military Academy, there are many special physique that will be slowly developed. Grant sees people very accurately, and he has always felt that Gooding is the type that is more sharpened and sharper. Sooner or later, this kind of person will shine brightly, even so bright that others feel dazzling.

Grant had also heard a little about what happened under the federal law, and he was originally skeptical, but when he saw Gooding's withdrawal application, he was somewhat convinced that the beating of the prison warden should be true. Because he found that this kid does nothing without thinking about the possible consequences, he only thinks about the results he wants.

Looking at the withdrawal application, Grant thought for a long time, and the content of the reply email was written and deleted, deleted and written. Finally, with a long sigh, he retyped the phrase from more than twenty years ago into the email: "If you're sure that something you really want, go after it. Whether the results are not what you expected, you will reap the rewards. The doors of the Aquamarine Basic Military Academy are always open to you! 】

Gooding was slightly surprised to receive the dean's reply, he thought that Grant would preach to him and strongly asked him to stay. Now the other party's reaction, although unexpected, is also what he wants.

Gooding then sent the news that he had dropped out of school to Reed and Parma.

Although he didn't know Parma very well, the other party's appearance in federal law** supported him, which was enough for Gooding to take her as a friend. Although she appeared a little late, that heart was enough.

"Hey, isn't it, you really can't bear to leave me alone?" Reed dialed Gooding's call as soon as possible.

"Stop talking nonsense, I invited you to be a member of my pirate group yesterday, but you yourself refused." Gooding retorted, "And before that, I also asked you countless times if you wanted to go with me to the Cosmic Sea, and you refused every time. ”

"Of course, my brother's dream is to become the Generalissimo of the Federal Government!" Reed's ideals are the polar opposite of Gooding's, "If you cause something in the future, I will put you in federal prison with my own hands." ”

"You've got to have that skill, just give it a try!" Gooding laughed when he heard this

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the call. Not long after hanging up, the communicator rang again, and it was Pama who dialed it.

"It was Reed's kid who was on the line just now, right?" Parma's guess was accurate.

"Well, I talked to him for a while." Gooding nodded.

"Did you really decide to leave without even taking your diploma?" Parma still felt that Gooding's decision was a bit hasty.

"The new route is open, and I don't want to wait." Gooding gives two brief reasons.

These two reasons seem convincing, and Parma is no longer dwelling on the issue.

"What did you think about what I brought up yesterday?" Parma asked instead, and after coming out of the federal court, she brought up the matter of letting Gooding join the Medicine God Alliance.

"Why do you have to let me join the Medicine God Alliance?" Gooding is a man who doesn't want to be tied down, so he yearns for the comfortable life of an interstellar pirate.

"I forwarded the video of you refining things that day, to my teacher. He thinks highly of you, saying that you are a pharmacist genius that is rare to see in tens of thousands of years. If you don't join the Medicine God Alliance, your talent will be slowly wasted, and my teacher and I don't want to see this happen. As I said yesterday, the Medicine God Alliance is actually an unbinding organization, and its main purpose is just a place for everyone to exchange and refine their experiences with each other and promote each other. In the Medicine God Alliance, there are not only people from the federal government, but also many of them who have become famous interstellar pirates, "Parma doesn't want Gooding to waste his talent.

"You said yesterday that after joining the Medicine God Alliance, there will be a discount for purchasing potion materials, didn't you fool me?" Gooding asked suddenly.

"Of course it's true, the higher the level of the pharmacist, the more discount you get. As for the pharmacist's grade assessment, you can participate in the virtual assessment online, and you can get the corresponding grade through the assessment, which is very convenient. Parma hurriedly added.

"Alright then, I'll join." Gooding finally agreed.

"I'll send you the link, you just need to scan your fingerprint and iris on the login page and your identity will be automatically bound." Parma said and sent a link.

Gooding followed the instructions and became a member of the Medicine God Alliance.

After making sure that Gooding had really joined, Parma breathed a sigh of relief and asked about Gooding's itinerary instead, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning when the interstellar port opens."

"So fast?!" Parma didn't expect Guding's trip to be so rushed.

"If it weren't for the purchase of a spaceship and other preparations that were only done now, I would have been prepared to leave today." Gooding didn't want to delay in the slightest.

"I was going to have a farewell party or something, but it was too late." Parma laughed.

"I understand everyone's mind, and the form doesn't matter." The corners of Gooding's mouth raised slightly, "If you have time to come to the Rose Tavern to take care of the business, Aunt 'Shredded Meat' will definitely be very happy." ”

"I'll go when I have time, and I wish you all the best for your future journey."

"Xie Lu Xie, I wish you to become a great potion master as soon as possible." After exchanging blessings, the two hung up the call.

"Sea Emperor, have you found a route? Where should I go at my first destination? Gooding asked the Sea Emperor as he walked towards the Rose Tavern, which would be his last working day at the Rose Tavern.

"The first destination, I chose Toyohara Star!" The Sea Emperor's answer was soon heard.
