Chapter 1088 Present?

The shopping mall was huge. It looked the same as the shopping malls one would find in the cities. However, most of the products sold inside were daily necessities and all kinds of mecha equipment. There were some household items too. However, there were very few selections of clothes, and most of it were just military uniforms and boots. They were just different styles of military wear. The uniforms of all the divisions were sold here. At the very least, they did sell casual clothes.

The huge array of items delighted the ladies. Soon, their hands were filled with shopping bags.

“Okay, since everyone is done, let’s go back.” Lady Mei didn’t want to waste her entire day off shopping

“Wait, let’s go over there.” Little Yao suddenly pointed to a cold weapons shop.

“You want to get a cold weapon?” Lady Mei was curious.

“Don’t you think our regiment commander looks very handsome carrying a whip?” Little Yao replied indirectly.

‘That’s because our regiment commander is handsome, not the whip.’ Lady Mei was speechless, but Little Yao already dragged her into the shop so she had no choice but to go inside. Ah Qing quickly caught up with them.

There were many soldiers in the cold weapon shop, and most of them were males. Hence, when three beautiful ladies entered the shop, most of the eyes in the shop turned to them.

Little Yao saw the whip category and she quickly pulled the two of them over.

It had to be said that all the cold weapons on Base Nebula were of amazing quality. Little Yao was amazed by what she saw. She didn’t know which one to choose.

“These prices are a little too high.” The thrifty Ah Qing was shocked by the prices of these whips in front of her.

“High quality weapons are expensive,” Little Yao said dismissively. Suddenly, she saw a s.h.i.+ning black whip and her eyes lit up. She immediately pressed the virtual screen beside

Soon, the materials, method of a.s.sembly, and the various components of the whip were displayed. Little Yao was satisfied with the figures.

“Wow… it’s 1.33 million credits.” Ah Qing looked at Little Yao seriously. She asked in puzzlement, “It’s just a short whip. Why is it so expensive?”

“This whip is made from the tail bone of the Demon Teeth Leopard. It’s a rank seven savage beast so it’s very hard to catch. Whether it’s the flexibility or the tenacity of the bone, it’s one of the best, making it the most suitable material to make a whip. Most cold weapons aren’t able to destroy it. Hence, the price displayed there is very reasonable.” The soldier beside them frowned when he heard what Ah Qing said but he still patiently explained to them.

“Thank you.” Lady Mei thanked the soldier as his explanation allowed her to understand the whip better.

“Sister Mei, let’s get this.” Little Yao’s eyes were sparkling

“Do you have enough money?” Lady Mei glanced at Little Yao. She destroyed Little Yao’s dream.

“No. However, we can gather enough money from everyone.” Little Yao smiled.

“Huh?” Lady Mei was stunned.

“Major Han’s birthday is coming up soon,” Little Yao replied, “If she has a whip like this, don’t you think she will look very handsome.”

“I thought only the regiment commander can use a whip.” Lady Mei was uncertain. She didn’t see any other team leaders carrying a whip. Would it cause trouble for their department head if they bought a whip for her?

“No.” Little Yao looked around her before pulling Ah Qing and Lady Mei closer. “Someone from the medical department secretly told that all the leaders and heads will need a whip soon.”

“Why?” Lady Mei was curious.

“I heard that it is to make punishment easier. It was an order by the regiment commander,” Little Yao replied seriously.

“F**K. Does every battle team need to have one? So vicious?” Ah Qing stuck her tongue out.

“Don’t you realize that the whip will be used on us?” Lady Mei was speechless. She had never seen someone giving the weapon used to punish them as a present to their department head.

“Our head won’t punish us!” Little Yao wasn’t worried about this. Major Han was strict with them but she never punished them physically. “I’m just worried about the upcoming a.s.sessment. With a good weapon, she may have a higher chance of pa.s.sing the a.s.sessment.”

Little Yao sighed. “I don’t want our head to get punished again.”

Lady Mei remembered the bad state Major Han was in during the past few days. She looked at the best whip in the shop and said, “Let’s buy it. I’ll pay.”

“It’s supposed to be a gift from everyone,” Little Yao objected.

“Let me buy it first and then we will go back and ask them if they want to share the cost. If they don’t want to, it’s fine. I’ll pay for it.” Lady Mei had already decided to give the whip to her department head.

“If they don’t want to share, the three of us will pay for it.” Little Yao turned to look at Ah Qing. She threatened her, “Ah Qing, don’t tell me that you don’t want to pay for it.”

Ah Qing immediately answered, “I’ll follow Sister Mei all the way.” The three of them stayed in one apartment so they were very close with each other.

“It’s decided.” Lady Mei quickly went up to the virtual screen. She wanted to press the purchase b.u.t.ton but a hand suddenly moved past hers.

A cold light flashed in her eyes. She quickly nudged with her wrist to push the hand away.

Then, she pressed her finger towards the purchase b.u.t.ton.

Bam!

The hand reached out again and slapped Lady Mei’s hand away.

Both of them took a step back from the force of this exchange.

Lady Mei looked up slowly. She saw a twenty-something-year-old second lieutenant looking at her in astonishment.

“Second lieutenant, I’ve been looking at this whip for quite a while. Do you mind letting me purchase this whip instead?” The second lieutenant’s att.i.tude turned softer when he noticed that he was facing against a female second lieutenant who was as strong as him.

“I’m sorry. I really like this whip. Please look for something else.” Lady Mei rejected him without any hesitation. This whip was important to Major Han. How could she give it away.

“Why are you so shameless? How dare you s.n.a.t.c.h something from Brother Han,” an arrogant lady behind the second lieutenant shouted pompously.

Lady Mei turned around and saw a bunch of people standing around them. A pretty and sweet-looking female soldier was also glaring at her.

“If I remember correctly, this whip would have been mine if your Brother Han didn’t stop me. Who is the shameless one here?” Lady Mei sneered.

“Brother Han wanted to buy this whip a week ago. If he had enough credits back then, it would have been his long ago.” The female soldier didn’t want to give up.

“However, it is still clearly here now.” Lady Mei’s smile turned colder.

“Why are you preventing us from buying the whip when you don’t even have enough money to buy it? You are just being unreasonable.” Little Yao was unhappy.
