Ling Lan and the others were tired from the long journey so they went back to their rooms early to rest. The night passed peacefully.
The next day, Gu Dongyang had something on his mind so he woke up early to pack his things. He went to Ling Lan's room and pressed the doorbell. After a while, the door opened.
He walked into the living room and saw Li Yingjie yawning on the sofa. He was shocked. "Little Leader Li, why are you here so early?"
He came more than an hour earlier than the scheduled meeting time. He didn't expect Little Leader Li, who liked to sleep in, to be here even earlier than him.
Li Yingjie covered his mouth and yawned. He said in a daze, "Didn't Boss say last night that he was going to bring us to see the heroes' monument on Planet General? I'm afraid that I overslept."
Li Yingjie was afraid that he would annoy Boss Lan and leave him alone so he lay on the bed and waited for the sun to rise. He didn't sleep for the entire night. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot due to lack of sleep.
"Then you're a little too early." Gu Dongyang was speechless. He looked at Boss's closed door and asked softly, "Regiment commander, are you still asleep?"
Li Yingjie shook his head. "I didn't hear anything."
"How did you get in?" Gu Dongyang was curious.
"Just like you. I pressed the doorbell and the door opened within a few seconds." Li Yingjie didn't think that it was strange. "Boss probably set up the optical supercomputer so that we can enter freely."
Li Yingjie said it so casually as though Ling Lan was just eating bean sprouts. Gu Dongyang shook his head. The optical supercomputer here was connected to the Federation's mainframe. Their regiment commander's hacking ability must have reached a terrifying level if he wanted to hide from the Federation's mainframe.
Gu Dongyang didn't dare to think too much about it since it had nothing to do with him.
The two of them sat on the sofa patiently and waited for their regiment commander to wake up.
After some time, Xie Yi and Luo Lang came over hand in hand. It was obvious that Xie Yi went to look for Luo Lang.
After the four of them arrived, Gu Dongyang ordered five sets of breakfast on the optical supercomputer and asked someone to deliver them to their door.
Click. Ling Lan's door opened. Ling Lan walked out in a black outfit. Black shirt and black trousers. It was a simple outfit but it made Ling Lan look cold and cool.
Ling Lan was buttoning her sleeves as she walked. When she saw the four of them, she said, "You're all here?"
"Yes, Boss Lan. I even ordered your breakfast." Li Yingjie snatched the credit from Gu Dongyang and tried to get on Ling Lan's good side.
Gu Dongyang shook his head and found it funny. He, Yang Mingzhi, and Liu Furong treated these team leaders who had followed Ling Lan since they were young and used all kinds of methods to fight for Ling Lan's favor. In reality, the methods these team leaders used to fight for Ling Lan's favor did bring a lot of fun to the old mecha operators. Unbeknownst to them, some of the old mecha operators even made bets to see which team leader would be the most favored one today.
Someone like Li Yingjie, who stole the credit of others and shamelessly claimed credit for himself, could be seen in the guild at any time. Everyone was already used to it. It was just that they didn't know which of the captains today was more shameless and which one was more shameless.
However, the team leaders had their own rules too. The shameless team leader took the credit first. The other team leaders couldn't expose his' ugliness'. After all, they weren't as shameless as the other team leaders. Of course, they had to give Ling Lan countless glares.
The moment he finished speaking, Li Yingjie received countless glares from Xie Yi and Luo Lang. Compared to Xie Yi who was speechless, Luo Lang's face was puffed up in anger. He hated himself for being so slow to react.
Xie Yi saw this and patted Luo Lang's shoulder to comfort him. In short, Luo Lang was always slower than others when it came to gaining Boss's favor. Unless he let other personalities take his place, such as the calm personality, he might be able to turn the tables around.
Ling Lan pretended that she didn't see the three of them. Since her friends liked to play games like this, she would play along with them. After all, the daily training of the mecha clan was too stressful. She needed to give them a chance to relax.
"Regiment commander, aren't you going to wear your uniform?" Gu Dongyang looked at Ling Lan's attire and asked.
"Yes, I'm just going to walk around. It might be inconvenient to wear my uniform." On Planet General, there were many officers with the rank of major general. However, Ling Lan was still too young. She would attract a lot of attention if she went out wearing a major general's uniform.
Gu Dongyang seemed to have understood something. He stood up and said, "I'll change too."
Li Yingjie was very excited when he heard that he was going to change into a normal attire. He jumped up and shouted, "I'll change too." Sob, he hadn't worn his luxurious attire for a long time. Now, he could finally wear it.
Luo Lang was confused. He didn't know why Gu Dongyang and Li Yingjie left in such a hurry.
"Boss, I'll change with Luo Lang too." Speaking of which, could he use the outfit he bought secretly? Xie Yi was very excited when she thought about this.
"But I didn't bring …" Before Luo Lang could finish speaking, he was dragged away by Xie Yi.
Ling Lan looked at the empty living room and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. Haha … interesting.
After some time, everyone changed into their attire and came to Ling Lan's living room.
Li Yingjie was dressed extravagantly and dazzlingly, like a peacock spreading its tail. However, he had the demeanor of an aristocratic family's young master, and he completely held up to this kind of attire that would make him look like a chuunibyou. It was not easy for him to dress like a young master.
Gu Dongyang's attire was the most ordinary. He hid his aura and hid in the crowd. Unless someone was more capable than him, it would be very difficult to find him.
On the other hand, Xie Yi and Luo Lang were wearing the same navy blue school attire. One was a warm and sunny guy while the other was a pretty girl. What the hell was that? Cough, cough. One was a warm and sunny guy while the other was a pretty girl. What the hell was that? Alright, Luo Lang looked like a girl wearing men's attire. It was quite fitting though.
Ling Lan walked to Luo Lang's side and patted his shoulder. She sighed and said, "You should wear your military attire in the future." Although he didn't look like a man, at least he wasn't as eye-catching as he was now. When they went out, the first thing people would see would probably be Luo Lang.
Luo Lang was a little confused when he heard Ling Lan's words. He thought about it carefully and thought that Boss was saying that he looked more handsome in his military attire. As expected, he was suited to wear his military attire. Luo Lang was happy in his heart. He was unhappy that Xie Yi forced him to wear a normal suit. He glared at him secretly.
Although Xie Yi was glared at, he still had a smile on his face. He looked more silly than usual when he smiled.
The service at the reception center was very good. Breakfast was served very quickly.
After Ling Lan and the others finished their breakfast, Ling Lan put on her windbreaker and brought Xie Yi, Luo Lang, Li Yingjie, and Gu Dongyang out of the reception center.
They hailed a hover car at the bus stop on the left side of the reception center. The five of them sat on the hover car and Gu Dongyang entered the destination on the hover car's optical supercomputer.
The Monument of Heroes was located in the plaza of Planet General. There wasn't only the Monument of Heroes in the plaza, there was also a memorial museum for all the different branches of the military. It could be said that if you went to the plaza once, you would be able to learn about the history of the military since the establishment of the Federation. You would also be able to learn about the glory that the Federation brought to the Federation during the war and the countless humiliations that were waiting to be washed away. These things were all recorded there to remind people of how the Huaxia Federation stood up in the flames of war.
Since they were already on Planet General, it would be a waste if they didn't go to the plaza once.
This was also the reason why Ling Lan brought Xie Yi, Luo Lang, and the others there. In reality, she was indeed very curious about what was in the plaza that made so many of her countrymen so moved. Although Little Four had shown her a holographic image of the plaza before, she still couldn't understand why the plaza was so important to her countrymen. It was her life's goal so she had to go there at least once no matter what.
The plaza was quite a distance away from the reception center. The hover car drove for one and a half hours before they reached their destination.
When the hover car stopped at the plaza, Ling Lan and the others walked out of the car. There were a few people at the spot where they got off. However, it didn't match Ling Lan's impression of a sea of people at all.
"Planet General Plaza … are there so few people every day?" Ling Lan asked curiously.
Gu Dongyang smiled and said, "Of course not. It's just that the mainframe made a reasonable allocation. The sea of people is evenly distributed to the different venues. That's why there are fewer people outside."
He walked to the flashing Holo-Brain in front of him with familiarity and swiped his communicator on it.
The optical supercomputer quickly turned on a virtual screen. Gu Dongyang selected five people and asked Ling Lan and the others to swipe their communicators on the optical supercomputer.
Soon, the four people's communicators showed the information of where they were going next.
"The five of us are a team now. This way, we won't be split up by the mainframe," Gu Dongyang explained as he looked at the information on his communicator.
Xie Yi, Luo Lang, and Li Yingjie were like villagers who just came to the city to see the world. They could only nod their heads furiously.
Ling Lan glanced at the communicator on her wrist and said, "Let's go." After she finished speaking, she started walking towards her destination.
Little Four had already shown Ling Lan a holographic image of the plaza. Hence, Ling Lan knew exactly where to go.
Gu Dongyang looked at the direction his regiment commander chose. He was impressed. It should be known that it took him a whole year to figure out the locations and routes of all the venues in the plaza. Now, so much time had passed. Gu Dongyang wasn't sure if he could still find the exact location.
As expected, hackers couldn't be judged by common sense.
Ling Lan and the others followed the mainframe's instructions and visited the memorial halls of a few different military units. They were shocked when they saw the history of these military units. Many heroes sacrificed their lives for the sake of the Federation. This price was still being paid because everyone in the Federation dreamed of becoming a powerful nation.
"Ah, the next one is the Monument of Heroes. That's great!" Luo Lang shouted excitedly when he saw the new notification.
His words caused some of the people who had also come out to look at him with hatred in their eyes.
Although the memorial halls were also very meaningful, everyone who came to the plaza was actually here to see the Monument of Heroes.
Although the Monument of Heroes was called a monument, it wasn't actually a monument. It was also a venue. However, in this venue, only the information of the strongest people in the Federation was recorded. There were even some information that wasn't released to the public. If they could pass the three tests set by the mainframe, they would be able to find the information they wanted.
Of course, ever since the Monument of Heroes was set up, only seven people had succeeded. This showed how difficult the three tests were.
Even so, the citizens were curious. Every day, tens of thousands of people wanted to be the eighth person to pass the tests. Unfortunately, no one was able to become the eighth person in the 30 years since the seventh person passed the tests.
However, the Monument of Heroes wasn't easy to enter. Without the mainframe's notification, they wouldn't be able to enter the venue. They wouldn't even be able to get the chance to pass the tests.
Thus, when the passersby heard that these youngsters got the chance to enter the Monument of Heroes so quickly, they were jealous.
"Let's go!" When Ling Lan saw this notification, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Only she knew why she was able to get this opportunity so quickly.
The Monument of Heroes was located in the middle of the plaza. Without the mainframe's instructions, they would definitely find the Monument of Heroes if they walked towards the center. Although the Monument of Heroes was a venue, there was a tall stone monument in front of the venue. On the stone monument were the names of all the famous people in the Federation. They might be marshals or they might not be. However, all of them were people who created a new era.
There were tens of thousands of years of history, but there were not many names that could be engraved on the stone tablet. Counting carefully, there were only ninety-eight people. Below each person's name, there was a detailed description of their heroic deeds that made one's blood boil. Even so, it only took up a small piece at the top of the huge monument.
The person at the bottom of the monument was already a few hundred years old. 'I wonder when the 99th person will be able to have his name carved on the monument.' Ling Lan thought to herself.
The few of them looked at the monument for a while before entering the Monument of Heroes.
The Monument of Heroes was huge. Once they entered, they would see the introduction of all the marshals. Ling Lan and the others only took a quick look at it before entering. After that, they saw the list of god-class mechas. Ling Lan had an idea and went to the end. As expected, she saw her father's name at the end. Ling Xiao!
"Ah, it's General Ling!" Luo Lang shouted excitedly.
Luo Lang was Ling Lan's follower so he respected Ling Lan's father even more. Of course, even if he wasn't Ling Lan's follower, Ling Xiao, the idol of the entire military, would still receive Luo Lang's respect. However, it wouldn't be as strong as now.
