Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "Boss, do you want to know the other's true identity? I can go check it out. "Little Four's eyes shone brightly, as if he had found some fun toy.
Ling Lan was just about to answer yes when she suddenly asked warily, "How are you going to check?"
Little Four said excitedly, "Of course by infiltrating the other's spiritual body. That way, I'll be able to see the other's true identity."
"You're not allowed!" Ling Lan shouted sternly in the mindspace.
Ling Lan had not forgotten what had happened in her dad's mission space. Little Four had said that the spiritual body of a strong fighter could discover him, and could even control Little Four directly to bring harm to Little Four. Who knew if this evolved spectre hacker would cause any devastating damage to Little Four?
"Why?" Little Four was startled by Ling Lan's stern shout. Mind you, even when Ling Lan was violent, she had never treated him with such a stern expression. That stern expression shocked and hurt Little Four at the same time. His face was full of resentment, and he began to suspect that Ling Lan did not like him anymore, which was why she was treating him this way.
"Firstly, we have no enmity or grudge with him, so why should we provoke him? If we anger him and he doesn't let it go, we'll be in a lot of trouble too..."
Little Four was just about to say that he was not afraid of this at all, that he could totally handle it, when Ling Lan grabbed Little Four's little shoulders and said seriously, "Most importantly, I don't want you, Little Four, to be in danger. If anything happens to you, I will regret it for the rest of my life. So, Little Four, you have to promise me that you will protect yourself well. You have to stay by my side forever and ever, until I leave this world... "
Hearing Ling Lan's words, Little Four's sadness and resentment disappeared... he felt that his CPU was somewhat unable to keep up. Not only that, his chip was also starting to heat up, and then the temperature was rising higher and higher until it was about to freeze. He should be nervous, panicking, and then trying to think of ways to cool down his chip quickly... but damn it, he actually didn't want to do that at all. He even felt that the existence of this kind of heat was really too good. He really loved this feeling to death.
Ling Lan saw Little Four's blank and unresponsive face and was afraid that he did not understand, so she emphasized her tone, "Little Four, listen, I won't allow you to act on your own in the future to investigate the spiritual body of those strong fighters or dangerous people. As long as they don't provoke us, we won't bother them. remember to protect yourself...... Didn't you say you want to be my number one follower? If you don't listen to me, I will strip you of your position as number one follower. "Ling Lan decided to use both warning and threat at the same time.
At this moment, Little Four no longer had the ability to think, but that great goal of being number one follower had always been in his heart. Hearing Ling Lan's warning and threat, he quickly nodded obediently and gave up the idea of investigating that man.
He could lose anything, but he could not lose the position of number one follower. This was Little Four's only great goal after waking up.
Since that was the case, she would let him go this time. However... Little Four finally returned to normal. His CPU was no longer operating at full capacity, and his chip had also passed the crisis of freezing. He looked in the direction that the man had disappeared and waved his fist fiercely. He was determined that he absolutely could not let the other party hurt his boss. Otherwise, even if he had to go against his boss's words, he would still teach the other party a lesson.
After receiving Little Four's promise, Ling Lan finally relaxed. She waited for a few minutes before slowly walking towards the seating area in front of her to find her seat.
It should be said that it was very easy to find a seat in the virtual world. Once she entered the seating area, a seating plan automatically appeared before Ling Lan's eyes. A red light flashed on a certain seat, and a green dot below it was approaching. Yup, that green dot was her.
Very quickly, Ling Lan found her seat according to the map. After sitting down, the map before her eyes disappeared and her vision returned to normal.
Ling Lan glanced curiously at the audience sitting beside her. The familiar attire instantly made her speechless. Countless curses ran through her mind... how could she be so unlucky to actually meet this dangerous fellow again?
It turned out that the person sitting next to Ling Lan was actually that dangerous man who had mutated mentally and was evolving into a spectre. However, that man's attitude was not bad. When he saw Ling Lan looking over, he nodded slightly in response.
"Er... hello!" Ling Lan tried her best to squeeze out a smile, and then turned back gloomily.
However, Ling Lan did not feel much fear in her heart. Although the other was very dangerous, the two of them were just strangers who had met by chance and had no grudges against each other. She believed that the other would not harm her for no reason.
Besides, although Ling Lan did not want Little Four to test the waters, she believed that if the other wanted to harm her, Little Four would definitely counterattack and protect her from harm. Moreover, Ling Lan was very confident in her own skills. As long as she could withstand the other's sneak attack once, it would not be so easy for him to hurt her again. She was invincible in the Central Scout Academy, and although she was a little weak in the virtual world, she was not so weak that she could not retaliate. In any case, Ling Lan still had some confidence in herself.
Just like that, Ling Lan once again regained her normal state of mind, calmly browsing through everything in the combat hall.
The combat hall was very large, so large that it was a little frightening. It was very much like an enlarged version of a basketball stadium from her previous world, except that the arena in the middle had changed from a rectangular shape to a large circular one. There were rows upon rows of spectator seats on all four sides of the arena. Ling Lan counted carefully and found that there were as many as 12 levels from bottom to top. She estimated that this arena could hold up to 500,000 spectators. Compared to her previous world, this was definitely a huge arena. If it existed in the real world, how large would this building be?
Ling Lan sighed in amazement. The buildings of the future world were becoming more and more gigantic. At this moment, she did not know that this mecha combat hall she thought was huge was just a small one. Planet Azure was a third-rate planet, and its capital was also a third-rate city, so it could only have this kind of small mecha combat hall.
A second-rate planet's capital could have a medium-sized arena, which could hold up to 800,000 people, while a first-rate planet could have a large arena, which could hold up to 1 million people. Meanwhile, a capital planet's capital like Doha could have a large arena. This kind of arena could hold up to 2 million people — that was what a truly large building was. It could only be said that the current Ling Lan was still just a country bumpkin, who had never seen the real world.
Not long after, all the seats in the arena were filled with people. Very soon, a bell rang out beside her ear. This bell was very pleasant to the ears, not sounding like the sound of metal, but more like the tinkling of spring water.
Following this sound, the entire arena erupted into enthusiastic applause. At the same time, two mecha slowly descended from the skies, slowly landing on the ground.
One of them was entirely red, while the other was a sheet of silver. When Ling Lan focused on one mecha, the image before her eyes would reveal the mecha's basic information. Only then did Ling Lan know that the red mecha was the challenger from J6, while the silver mecha was the challenger from J8.
The two mecha belonged to two different mecha types. The red mecha was a winged transformative mecha, whose advantage was that its movements were extremely agile in the air, and it could freely switch between a humanoid mecha and a winged mecha. It could be considered a dual-purpose mecha for both land and air. Its right hand was equipped with a beam gun, while its left hand was empty for backup. Each side of its legs was equipped with a high-alloy dagger, and several highly effective ground-based guided missiles were strapped beneath its wings. Of course, this was just conventional equipment. As for what secret weapons it was hiding, that was unknown.
Concealing weapons was also a tactic used in mecha combat competitions — all mecha would have a trick or two up their sleeves.
Meanwhile, the silver mecha was a land-based humanoid mecha, so it was extremely agile on the ground. On its back was a radiation cannon, which was a specialised anti-air weapon. The silver mecha's right hand held a beam saber, while its left hand was similarly empty for backup. The other equipment was also like the red mecha, all conventional weapons.
The two mecha faced each other from a distance, each moving their arms and legs, as if warming up.
Right then, a strange scene occurred in the arena, causing Ling Lan to gasp in surprise.
It turned out that the scenery on the arena had suddenly changed. The normal floor had rapidly turned into an endless desert, and they, the audience, had also left the arena and arrived in the middle of the desert... Ling Lan could even feel the scorching sun on her body, as well as the boundless heat reflected off the desert beneath her feet.
Ling Lan quickly understood that this was probably some kind of simulation technique, instantly simulating the desert. Ling Lan had not yet woken up from the desert when Ling Lan was dumbfounded once more. It turned out that when the red winged transformative mecha had changed into a winged mecha, it had quickly flown off into the distance, becoming a black dot and then disappearing instantly. Meanwhile, the silver mecha's speed was also extremely fast — with a few leaps, it had disappeared into the sand dunes on the ground...
How was she supposed to watch the competition without a mecha?
She asked Little Four, but Little Four did not know either, so he quickly ran off to search for a solution. Right then, a cool voice suddenly rang out beside her, almost scaring Ling Lan. "First time watching a competition?"
Ling Lan turned her head. Sure enough, it was that mysterious man whose eyes, ears, and nose could not be seen speaking. Ling Lan was a little surprised. She could clearly feel that the other was very cold — why would he take the initiative to speak to her?
Since someone was willing to help, Ling Lan naturally would not be so stupid as to refuse. "Yes, it's my first time watching this kind of competition."
"Say 'choose' silently, and the options will appear." Sure enough, the man instructed Ling Lan.
Ling Lan did as she was told, and a line of text appeared before her eyes: Choose the viewing angle you want to choose: One: God's view. Two: Challenger's view. Three: Challenger's view.
Ling Lan did not know which viewing angle was better, so she decided that it would be more appropriate to ask a veteran. Thus, she asked the man beside her bluntly, "Which viewing angle should I choose?"
"If you want to watch exciting fights, choose the god's view. If you want to know how to operate a mecha and how to respond, you can choose the other two options." The man was not as difficult to get along with as Ling Lan had imagined, patiently explaining.
Ling Lan thought for a moment. She did not know how to operate a mecha, so watching would be a waste of time. She might as well watch the fights between the two mecha — perhaps it would inspire her own combat skills, so she decisively chose the god's view.
"Thank you." Before Ling Lan made her choice, she politely thanked the man beside her.
