It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Even after being comforted by Su Chaoqi, Su Chaoliu still couldn't recover.

Su Chaoqi glanced at her and knew that it was no longer effective to persuade her with kind words, so he gave her a timely provocation: "If you don't hurry up and deal with it, you will lose the initiative."

Other things may not have this effect, but as soon as these words came out, Su Chaoliu quickly came to his senses: "You are right. Now that things have come to this, I must control all the future development directions and not let things get worse."

"So what are you still standing here for?" Su Chaoqi pushed Su Chaoliu, "Go quickly."

Su Chaoliu didn’t know what to do, but he decided to gather everyone together and talk.

The group that was created for the last cross-country race was still there, and Su Chaoliu spoke directly in the group: "Want to come out and chat?"

After a moment, someone responded: "Anything else to talk about?"

It’s Shi Yu. From this reply, it can be seen that he is quite resentful.

Su Chaoqi responded: "Don't you want the president to revoke the order?"

This made Zhang Binglin burst out: "Do you have a solution?"

No one wants to be tied into a team.

After all, this opportunity is crucial to them.

Su Chaoqi did not give a direct answer: "Come out and talk about it."

Although they had great doubts about Su Chaoqi's so-called "method", they had to think of every possible solution, so Zhang Binglin and Shi Yu still agreed to come out.

Su Chaoqi tagged Gao Zixu: "What about you?"

Gao Zixu only replied with an emoticon to express his agreement.

Four people gathered in an empty classroom, and each of them had a visibly low aura.

As soon as they met, Shi Yu couldn't wait to ask: "You said there is a way, what is it?"

Su Chaoliu glanced at Shi Yu and said, "Didn't you see the department-wide announcement?"

Just as they walked out of the Student Union office, Yu Zhenbo issued an announcement. Although it was released less than an hour ago, given the individual soldier department's training and their sensitivity to information, all students in the department should have known about it.

"I saw it," Shi Yu nodded, "So, what should we do?"

"Cold dish!" Su Chaoliu made a famous joke on Blue Star, "Can you find someone to team up with you now?"

She just tricked everyone out. Only when everyone came out could they communicate properly.

Shi Yu didn't expect that she came here with full of hope, but got this answer.

Disappointment hit her brain, making her emotions out of control.

She slammed the table and stood up: "This matter has become like this because of you, you must be responsible for solving it!"

"Don't be ridiculous," Su Chaoliu looked at her with a look of sarcasm in her eyes, "When Gao Zixu and I had a quarrel, weren't you gloating over our misfortune?"

Even if she and Gao Zixu were the fuse, don't they have any responsibility for just watching the fire from the sidelines and fanning the flames?

Shi Yu was speechless after her question. He wanted to refute but couldn't find the words.

In fact, she understood why things turned out like this, but she was unwilling to admit that she was wrong.

Su Chaoliu turned to Zhang Binglin and said, "You don't understand the situation either, do you?"

Zhang Binglin was the most tactful and worldly-wise among them, so he must have understood this truth.

Zhang Binglin did not deny this: "I know, but... I cannot accept this punishment."

If it was the same as last semester, forcing them to participate in an unimportant competition and asking them to form a team, they would have formed one and the impact would have been limited. But student competitions... were too important.

Gao Zixu, who had not spoken since he came in, raised his eyes lazily: "Why, do you want to disobey orders?"

The first lesson for students in the individual soldier department is to obey orders.

Su Chaoliu glanced at Gao Zixu.

She was able to quickly accept the current situation because she had Su Chaoqi's guidance, otherwise her resistance might have been more serious than Zhang Binglin and Shi Yu.

Because the opportunity of the student competition is more important to her. After all, she has too many weaknesses, and the student competition is one of the few opportunities she can seize.

But Gao Zixu was able to calm down so quickly, either because his ability to accept things had improved, or because he had also done some analysis.

Either way, it's not good news for Su Chaoliu.

When it comes to the charge of disobeying orders, Zhang Binglin has nothing to say. After all, he can't admit that he wanted to disobey orders.

There are many things that can be done but cannot be said directly, they only exist tacitly.

But Gao Zixu's reaction... Zhang Binglin narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Are you just giving up like that? That's not your style."

Seeing how he had been arguing with Su Chaoliu about cheating in the exam and refusing to back down, it seemed too quick for him to admit defeat now.

Gao Zixu sneered: "Do you think I didn't do anything?"

It seems that he did do something. You know, Gao Zixu's grandfather is the head of the military region. If he wants to use his power to coerce others, it is not difficult for him to find someone.

But as of now, he did find it, but was scolded, and he accepted the scolding wholeheartedly.

The current situation is that the number of people who recognize the current situation and are willing to form a team is evenly divided between those who are unwilling to do so. However, Zhang Binglin and Shi Yu both know deep down that there is nothing they can do and they just feel resentful.

"Let me make it clear first," Gao Zixu said solemnly, "My goal this time is to be the first. Even if I change teams, this goal will not change."

"Very good," Su Chaoqi raised his eyebrows, "I'm glad we can reach a consensus on this point."

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Similarly, since they participated in the student conference, their natural goal was to be first.

Shi Yu just found it unbelievable: "Wait, wait, wait, wait, are you crazy? First, we are the only ones?"

"It's not like there is no chance," Su Chaoliu said, "With reasonable tactical arrangements and the use of rules."

It sounds reasonable, but anyone can say this kind of thing, and there is no specific implementation plan at all.

The rules of student competitions change every year. Who knows what the rules will be this year and whether they can make use of them.

Shigure scoffed, "It's like you know the rules."

Su Chaoliu actually knew something. Yan Tieyi submitted a suggestion to the organizer of the student competition. This time it would not be held on an asteroid, but would simulate a real war and be divided into two armies facing off. Each team would be assigned to a reasonable position to complete the task.

Missions include but are not limited to seizing supplies, rescuing hostages, and attacking troops.

Completing a task will result in a score.

The most important thing is the various hidden tasks. As for what the hidden tasks are, if others know about them, they are no longer hidden.

Although this was just Yan Tieyi's suggestion, based on Yan Tieyi's status and position, Su Chaoliu believed that his suggestion was very likely to be adopted and modified based on his suggestion.

As of now, not only Su Chaoliu knows it, but Gao Zixu seems to know it too.

In other words, this level of secret is not a secret, and they don’t know the more specific rules.

But knowing the rules and exploiting the rules are two different things.

The problem we are facing now is the command of the team.

How could Su Chaoliu and Gao Zixu possibly hand over the command power to others?

They looked at each other and could immediately tell what the other was thinking.

Su Chaoliu took the lead and said, "I was the commander of the team in the last student competition, and you all know the results."

This is her trump card. After all, her achievements are real and no one can deny them.

Gao Zixu quickly retorted: "The reason you were able to win the championship last time was largely because you didn't need to fight for nutrients, but this time, your skills are useless."

On asteroids, they can capture prey, but in interstellar wars, supplies are generally normal, that is, they have sufficient reserves of nutrients.

The two of them engaged in a half-hour debate about their own strengths and each other's shortcomings.

Of course, they learned their lesson this time and did not resort to fighting to decide who would be the commander.

Zhang Binglin and Shi Yu also remembered why they were punished, so they participated in the discussion, but Zhang Binglin preferred Su Chaoliu, while Shi Yu preferred Gao Zixu, so in the end there was no result.

In the end, both of them were tired of fighting and chose to truce after being persuaded by Zhang Binglin.

Anyway, there is still some time before the student competition, so this issue can be discussed slowly for the time being.

After skipping this question, the four people discussed the training plan and checked the time to see when the training was scheduled every day.

That’s all for today. The four of them agreed on the time and content of tomorrow’s training and then dispersed.

Su Chaoliu felt that this meeting was more tiring than training in the training ground for an entire afternoon.

Su Chaoqi naturally also listened to Su Chaoliu's complaints. She pondered for a while and said, "Do you really have to fight for this command?"

"Of course," Su Chaoliu nodded, "Why do you ask?"

Su Chaoqi sighed: "If it were me, I wouldn't fight for the command this time."

She carefully explained to Su Chaoliu that this time, although Su Chaoliu said that he wanted to strive for the first place, it was too difficult for everyone to get in directly. In other words, this command might be a double-edged sword.

Although they seem to be on the same starting line in the same team, there will definitely be a distinction between the top and the bottom. If a good result is achieved, then the commander will definitely be the one with the highest evaluation. If the result is not good, then it is mainly the commander's responsibility. Given the level of his teammates this time, Su Chaoqi did not expect a good result.

"It would be great if Gao Zixu had the same idea as you," Su Chaoliu shrugged and said, "But I think his family must have the same idea. I hope I can persuade him."

What this means is that Su Chaoliu is going to secure the command.

"Are you sure?" Su Chaoqi asked.

"Of course," Su Chaoliu nodded with certainty, "I think this risk is worth taking. After all, there are not many opportunities that I can seize and take the initiative. If I am afraid, I will hide. In the end, I will end up with nothing."
