Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr In the end, Ling Lan was so annoyed that she could only relent and let Little Four use that reserve of 10,000 battle points to find a chance to earn some back. Of course, Ling Lan had already warned him beforehand that if he lost, she would pull down Little Four's pants and give him a good beating, engaging in domestic violence.
Little Four of course scoffed at this, believing that Ling Lan would never have the chance to resort to domestic violence. In his words, have you ever seen a god lose money? What? You said yes? Then you must be an idiot!
Ling Lan was definitely not an idiot. Thus, after handing the 10,000 battle points over to Little Four, she stopped thinking about the matter. Of course, Ling Lan was prepared. If she really lost money, she would just let Little Four take a little risk and exchange the credits outside for battle points to pay off the debt. As the boss, she needed to be responsible for her subordinates.
After Ling Lan had arranged everything in the real world, she continued to focus on training her mecha control. The time slowly approached the final deadline, but Ling Lan just could not break past the final 3 minutes mark. In other words, Ling Lan had used her highest hand speed to avoid all unnecessary control errors. Unfortunately, the time finally stopped at around 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Even in her best condition, her best result was only infinitely close to 3 minutes and 20 seconds, a far cry from 3 minutes and 20 seconds...
When one's control reached a certain limit, even increasing the time by one second was almost impossible. Ling Lan seemed to have foreseen the failure of this mission. The numbing pain of being electrocuted to the depths of her heart came again, and her body could not help but tremble a few more times.
Ling Lan felt more and more anxious, and her results in the following few rounds of practice became even worse. This feeling was just like the last time she had practised the hand speed training method her father had taught her — she had reached a bottleneck. Ling Lan wondered if this was really her limit, and she was actually not suited to operate mecha at all.
Ling Lan's mentality was not suited for mecha piloting training — the picky learning space mercilessly banished Ling Lan from the system.
Little Four, who was originally busy earning battle points, sensed that his boss was in a bad mood, so he quickly put down what he was doing and ran back to ask about the reason. Knowing that they had hit a bottleneck again, he suggested that Ling Lan go out to the virtual world again to change her mood.
Ling Lan felt that if she kept staying in the mission space, she would not be able to find any solution. Moreover, the effects of her training were getting worse and worse — she might as well go out and take a breather. Then, she remembered that she had only opened the mecha tutorials in the learning space after learning how to operate mecha outside. Perhaps the answer to her breakthrough lay in the virtual world outside.
Just like that, Ling Lan and Little Four once again returned to the place where they had logged off for the first time — the mecha training hall.
However, at this time today, the mecha training hall was filled with quite a few newbies who had come to train. In the training room Ling Lan had chosen, there were seven to eight beast-type mecha practicing their basic movements. There were beast-type mecha with both strength and agility like leopard, tiger, and lion, and there were also beast-type mecha with sharp horns like porcupine, swordback, and rhinoceros. Of course, there were also agile scouting-type mecha like wolf and fox.
They were all practicing the basic movements of their mecha. Some of them were like Ling Lan the last time, stumbling and stumbling as they tried to operate a mecha for the first time. There were also mecha operators who had been practicing for some time and were working towards becoming old newbies with a certain foundation.
The moment Ling Lan entered the training room, most of the beast-type mecha in the room stopped or slowed down their training movements. This was because Ling Lan's mecha was the extremely rare rabbit mecha on the market. In addition, Ling Lan had automatically set the standby mode of a rabbit shaking its head while nibbling on a carrot held in its forelimbs. Its cute appearance and cute movements naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Ling Lan had also designed the standby mode of her mecha to be this way on a whim. She had initially thought that no one would see this, so she had purposely designed it to be a little cute for her own amusement. Only, she had not expected that her first time coming to the mecha training hall to train would be under special circumstances. Most people had been drawn to the combat hall to watch the mecha fights, so not many people had stayed behind to train in the mecha training hall. That was why she had been the only one in the room.
Although Ling Lan was a little taken aback by why there were so many mecha training together in the room, she did not take it to heart. Although the standby mode of the rabbit mecha was a little silly, at least no one knew who was piloting it. Ling Lan did not think that she would be so unlucky as to get a rabbit mecha again when she went online with her real identity to choose a mecha in the future...
In the training hall, there was a cheetah-type mecha that had completely ignored Ling Lan's arrival. Its movements did not change, continuing to carry out its basic training in an orderly manner. Ling Lan's gaze was quickly drawn to the other, because the other was operating that mecha perfectly. Whether it was running, jumping, or leaping, every movement was simple and direct, and the continuous movements were extremely agile and smooth, bringing about a sense of beauty that perfectly combined strength and speed. This gave Ling Lan the illusion that the mecha in front of her was no longer a mecha, but a real, living, giant cheetah.
Ling Lan's attention also attracted Little Four's attention. He stealthily checked on the operator inside the cheetah mecha, and when he saw that familiar figure, he could not help but exclaim in surprise. Ling Lan instantly snapped out of her dazed state and asked, "What happened? Little Four? "
Little Four said excitedly, "Haha, Boss, we've met someone we know. Guess who the operator inside the cheetah mecha is?"
"How would I know? This is only my second time coming to this virtual world, so I don't know anyone. Could it be someone from the real world? "Ling Lan stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"No, it's someone we met last time in the virtual world. Boss, you even spoke with the other before. Let me give you a hint, the other is very dangerous..." Little Four wagged his right index finger, grinning widely at Ling Lan.
Ling Lan abruptly reacted, "That hacker with spectre powers?" Only that person could be defined as very dangerous.
"Haha, Boss is right, it's him. I didn't expect his mecha control skills to be so good... but, why is he still here practising his basic controls? Could it be that he's not as old as we thought? " Little Four asked. Although the man had concealed his appearance at that time, he had still given off the impression that he was an adult. Could it be that they had been deceived?
"Why, is there an age limit for basic controls?" Ling Lan was rather curious.
"Not really. It's just that most beginners are between 13 to 16 years of age, and even those who are late will not be as old as 18 years old. That's why I feel a little puzzled. That man gave us the impression that he should be over 20 years old, right?" Little Four replied, "But he was a hacker who had evolved from a spectre to begin with, so perhaps he had created some false impressions."
"If it weren't for you, Boss, not letting me check his true appearance, we wouldn't have been deceived by the other." Little Four was still rather disgruntled at the mention of this matter.
"Forget it, the less trouble the better. He has nothing to do with us anyway, so why do you need to know so much about him?" Ling Lan consoled Little Four, "Still, this person's mecha piloting skills are really impressive. Looks like I need to take a look at the piloting methods of some mecha experts. Perhaps I'll be able to find some inspiration for a breakthrough."
Ling Lan felt that she had been a little too secluded in her previous period of training. She had been training hard on her own, so she had actually taken many of her controls for granted. Especially after seeing the cheetah mecha operator's controls, Ling Lan felt that some of her controls had been superfluous, a little too complicated.
"Ah, he looks like he's about to undergo the basic movements assessment mission. Let's go take a look too." Little Four did not wait for Ling Lan's reply, but had already led Ling Lan's rabbit mecha into the assessment mission space with the other.
"Is it alright for us to come in like this?" Ling Lan looked at the cheetah mecha preparing for the assessment, and felt a little worried. After all, the other was an evolved spectre who could wipe out brainwaves. If the other had already set up a viewing restriction, wouldn't it be a form of provocation for them to enter so blatantly? If they were unlucky, they could die.
"It's fine. This kind of assessment mission is open to the public. Anyone can choose to watch. Many people will watch a few rounds of other people's assessment missions before the assessment to gain some experience," replied Little Four nonchalantly.
Little Four's reply allowed Ling Lan's heart to relax. She looked around and found that she was the only one watching the other's assessment. This made her suspect whether Little Four's words were just nonsense...
However, seeing that the other had turned a blind eye to her arrival, Ling Lan thought that he could not be that bad. Besides, even if Little Four was lying to her, she had no way of backing out now. The assessment mission should have already begun.
Inside the assessment mission, the entire space was filled with all sorts of messy obstacles. The cheetah weaved through these obstacles without the slightest hint of stagnation or obstruction. All of its movements were smooth and natural, without the slightest hint of awkwardness.
Just as Ling Lan thought that the other had easily completed this mission, the originally forbidden obstacles suddenly began to move irregularly. This sudden change gave Ling Lan a fright, and also caught the cheetah mecha operator off guard.
A stone pillar suddenly burst out from the ground. The cheetah mecha had just leapt up and was about to crash into the pillar when, at that moment, the cheetah mecha's front and rear limbs kicked off the stone pillar in unison. Using the momentum, the mecha's body leapt in the other direction, just in time to avoid the impact of the stone pillar.
Ling Lan's initially tense heart relaxed slightly, but what happened next made Ling Lan's heart rise to her throat once more. It turned out that the cheetah mecha was not out of danger yet. Although it had changed directions, a large boulder had suddenly appeared in the other direction.
The cheetah mecha operator seemed to be very calm, not appearing to be flustered at all. He controlled his mecha to switch positions in the air, his four limbs vibrating twice in the air before landing firmly on the giant rock. Then, using the momentum, he bounced back, once again avoiding the danger of this collision.
