Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan was not attracted by this magical scene; her expression changed. Although Ling Lan had not seen the situation in Ling Xiao's palm earlier, she knew that Ling Xiao's fingers had not exerted any force at all — they had only been purely blocking these crystal beads. But it was precisely this sort of powerless force that, under the effects of extreme speed, had completely shattered the crystal beads from the inside out — it was clear to see how terrifyingly destructive they were.
"Looks like you understand." Ling Xiao was very satisfied with Ling Lan's performance. He had initially thought that he would have to explain in detail, but unexpectedly, Ling Lan actually understood such profound content.
"Yes, when anything reaches a certain limit, it will produce a powerful force," said Ling Lan carefully, combining her own research on the Dao.
Ling Lan was very excited, because she could finally communicate with someone who knew these things. In the learning space, her instructors had only allowed her to comprehend on her own, unwilling to talk much about the Dao. This made Ling Lan feel very lost.
"That's right, I didn't expect you to have noticed this too. I call this force, and force does not refer to just one kind — there are many. However, Ling Lan, you must remember the saying 'don't bite off more than you can chew' — more force is not better. "Ling Xiao swept a dispassionate glance over Ling Lan, causing Ling Lan's initial excitement to quickly calm down.
Ling Xiao's reminder made Ling Lan thoughtful. Ling Xiao did not let Ling Lan stay in the mission space for long, only telling her to think that through the transmission of his spiritual crystal, she would be sent directly to him, and there would be no need for further assessment. Then, he sent Ling Lan directly back to the login point of the virtual world.
"You've finally appeared, Boss!" Seeing Ling Lan appear, Little Four rushed over with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Ling Lan instinctively caught Little Four and said warily, "Won't people be suspicious if you come out like this?"
Little Four sobbed and said, "It's okay, Boss. This is a special space that I created. We can see each other, but they can't see us."
"By the way, when we arrived at the Ling family's mansion in the mission space, why didn't you make a sound?" Ling Lan found it strange. She had secretly muttered to herself that if it weren't for the fact that her father wouldn't admit it, she would have asked Little Four to open the safe directly. She thought that Little Four would jump out and criticize her father's pedantry, but to her surprise, Little Four did not react at all.
At that time, due to the urgency of the mission, although Ling Lan was confused, she didn't ask Little Four what was wrong. And now, Ling Lan was free and remembered.
Ling Lan's words reminded Little Four of something sad, and he burst into tears again. Under Ling Lan's comfort, he sobbed and told her the reason. It turned out that when they had entered the study, what Ling Lan had seen was Ling Xiao's smiling face, and what Ling Lan had seen was Ling Xiao's sharp and cold gaze. That gaze alone had caused Little Four's programming to go haywire, and he had been kicked out of the inheritance space. This was also why Little Four had not reacted — he had been kicked out by Ling Xiao.
Ling Lan frowned, a little worried. Did this mean that the spiritual power of a powerhouse could detect Little Four's existence?
Little Four sensed Ling Lan's worry, and the chip's core actually warmed up. However, this warmth made him feel very comfortable, and he was in a great mood. He opened his mouth to comfort Ling Lan, saying, "Boss, don't worry. I've met some people with strong spiritual power before, but they didn't discover me. Perhaps it's because I entered your father's inheritance space, which is equivalent to entering his spiritual body, and that's why I was discovered."
"Mm, what you say makes sense. But you must be careful not to enter other people's spiritual bodies so as to avoid danger." Ling Lan felt that Little Four's words made sense, but she still warned Little Four to be more careful in the future in the virtual world. Don't think that you're a god.
The two of them chatted for a while longer. During this time, Little Four was multitasking, controlling the fake Ling Lan he had created to come out of the library and slowly walk to the login point. Then, he created the illusion that the fake Ling Lan had logged out of the virtual world.
Because Ling Lan had exhausted her mental and physical strength during the inheritance mission, she felt a little tired. Thus, she logged out of the virtual world with Little Four and had a good rest.
Meanwhile, because of Little Four's careful arrangements, neither the monitoring military nor the students participating in the assessment had noticed that Ling Lan had silently received Ling Xiao's inheritance. In order to create the illusion that the inheritance mission had not been completed, the virtual assessment space created by Little Four continued to exist. This continued until one day, when Ling Xiao's inheritance mission disappeared along with it. This caught the military off guard and left them puzzled...
After receiving her father's inheritance, Ling Lan began to practice controlling the beads with both hands every day. Of course, the objects Ling Lan practiced with were not those precious crystal beads, but sturdy metal and steel beads.
Zilong and the others, who had been hanging out with Ling Lan all this while, saw that Ling Lan was always carrying two steel beads with her and moving them back and forth between her palms. They were extremely curious, and asked Ling Lan why she was doing this.
Ling Lan thought that this was not some special training method that had to be kept secret. Ling Xiao had also said before that this was just a small trick to train hand speed. The key was to have perseverance and not be afraid of hardship. Thus, she generously told them what this was and what benefits the training would bring.
The eyes of Zilong and the others lit up when they heard this. Hand speed had always been one of the difficulties that troubled fighters and mecha operators. Although the Federation had also tried to come up with some training methods that could increase hand speed, and although they were effective, the improvement was not by much. Once they hit a bottleneck, there would be no effect.
They eagerly followed Ling Lan in her training, and thus a scene appeared in the Central Scout Academy. Whether they were studying, eating, or chatting, a few bored second-year Class-A students would always be playing with a small steel bead in their hands, randomly moving it around in their palms...
Just like that, they trained step by step for several months, and Ling Lan found that she had not made any progress for an entire month. Every night, when she used three steel beads at the same time, her hand speed would always break down at 3.0127 minutes. After a month of hovering around this time, Ling Lan knew that she had reached her first bottleneck.
Ling Lan really wanted to break through this bottleneck, so she purposely increased the time she spent training her hand speed. However, the more impatient she was, the less effective the results would be. Ling Lan found that several consecutive days of stressful training had actually caused her hand speed to decrease to a certain extent. She knew that she could not continue with this kind of masochistic training, otherwise not only would it not be effective, it might even cause some unnecessary damage to her hands.
Ling Lan decided to take a good rest. Other than the missions in the learning space that were not paused, she chose to pause everything, whether it was in the real world or in the virtual world. She was originally busy, but now that she had so much free time, she was not used to it.
Seeing the discomfort on his boss's face, Little Four thought of a good way to kill time and relax at the same time. He prepared to let Ling Lan use her adult appearance to go on the virtual network and take a stroll around the open world outside to see the world.
Little Four's suggestion was very tempting to Ling Lan. After all, she had never been to the real virtual world before. To put it bluntly, the virtual world of the Central Scout Academy was just a platform for you to familiarize yourself with the virtual world.
Since she was tempted, she might as well act on it immediately. That afternoon, Ling Lan got Little Four to get ready, and then she logged into the virtual world to take a stroll around the outside world.
Ling Lan entered the login point. It was still the same login hall as before, and there were no visible changes at all. Ling Lan thought that Little Four had forgotten to change her appearance, and said gloomily, "Little Four, why didn't you help me change my appearance?" Children would be children, easily dropping the ball at crucial moments.
Little Four was speechless. He immediately conjured up a large full-length mirror in front of Ling Lan, revealing Ling Lan's current appearance to Ling Lan.
"Hur hur hur..." Ling Lan giggled. It turned out that the current Ling Lan had already changed her appearance. When Ling Lan had logged in, Little Four had immediately changed her brainwaves, instantly helping her create her virtual image.
Ling Lan's current appearance was that of a sixteen year old girl in the prime of her youth. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Ling Lan's appearance in her previous life. She had a round face, and her eyes were big and bright. She looked very smart and cute.
"Isn't this image a little too kawaii?" She looked exactly like a pink loli girl. Ling Lan felt a little awkward. To be honest, she was already used to her boyish face.
"This way, no one will suspect that you're Ling Lan." Little Four was very confused. He had painstakingly created an image that was completely different from the current Ling Lan, so why did his boss have a problem with it?
"Oh, right." Ling Lan also reacted. If he had created an image that was similar to her current aura, although the probability of being discovered was still very low, there would still be some possibility of being discovered. Little Four was very thorough in his considerations.
Ling Lan wasn't stingy with her praise. She praised Little Four so much that Little Four was completely dazed.
When he heard that Ling Lan wanted to go to the capital, Little Four was so dazed that he didn't even look at the name of the planet. He directly chose the capital and teleported over...
Cough cough, every planet had a capital. Little Four had just teleported Ling Lan over when he discovered this problem. However, Little Four didn't dare to say it out loud. He had just received Ling Lan's praise. If he made a mistake now, wouldn't that be slapping his own face? Then he remembered that the capital of planet Azure was also a capital, and his boss hadn't said that the capital she wanted to go to was the capital of planet Doha...
At this moment, Ling Lan had no idea that her current location was no longer the planet Doha that she lived on, but rather planet Azure, a planet at the edge of the Federation that was millions of light years away.
Ling Lan stood at the teleportation point, looking at the antique scene in front of her in astonishment. For a moment, she thought that she had returned to ancient times. "I thought that the capital would be more modern and sci-fi than the cities we live in. I didn't expect it to be so traditional."
"Every city has a different orientation. The capital here is more traditional." Little Four discreetly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and found a reasonable excuse to deal with this.
