Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Just as Lu Xiaolong was wallowing in self-pity, a cool voice suddenly rang out by his ear, "The basics are very important. We have not fully grasped it yet, so we cannot graduate and leave."
Lu Xiaolong jerked his head up and saw that it was the cheetah mecha who had replied. He was extremely touched — so not all gods were cold and arrogant — this cheetah mecha operator was clearly an easy person to get along with.
In fact, Lu Xiaolong was completely wrong. The cheetah mecha had never intended to answer Lu Xiaolong's question at all. It was just that the rabbit mecha's gaze and head tilt had left the cheetah mecha with no choice but to answer.
After several months of interaction, even if they did not speak to each other, the two of them had developed a strange sense of rapport. Just a glance or a movement was all it took for them to know what the other meant. And just now, the rabbit mecha operator had completely understood the other's meaning from that turn of its eyes and head tilt.
"But... you guys are already so strong. Could it be that you still haven't grasped the basics?" Lu Xiaolong could not understand. If this kind of result did not mean that they had grasped the basics, then did that mean that they, who had graduated from the passing line, were not qualified to operate mecha at all?
"Are we strong? Aren't there still close to 100 strong people ahead of us? "The cheetah mecha operator's voice carried a hint of self-mockery, as if unsatisfied with their results.
The cheetah mecha operator's words made the rabbit mecha turn to glance at him once more. That gaze was clearly questioning the other — when had they become allies?
This made the cheetah mecha operator feel somewhat amused. Thinking about it, it was really inconceivable. The two of them had only spoken once, and then the two of them had coincidentally bumped into each other in the training room. It should be said that they were not that familiar with each other, but there was an indescribable rapport between them.
Of course, this affinity was partly due to his own initiative. Ever since that conversation, he would always use his spiritual power to find the other's location, and then pretend to coincidentally enter the same room to train.
However, he was indeed fated to meet the other. Many times, the rabbit mecha, who had arrived later, had also coincidentally entered his training room. (Little Four was currently laughing triumphantly at the sky. Are you saying that only you officials are allowed to set fires, but we commoners are not allowed to light lamps? Who can beat me, Little Four?)
Perhaps the gods had not given up on him, so they had given him such a peerless genius to help him.
He had not ignored Ling Lan's words. Thus, he abandoned his original thoughts and did not choose to graduate and leave, instead continuing to stay in the mecha training hall to train his basic controls. Not only that, but he also worked hard to practice the basic physical skills of the Scout Academy. He thought that since they were both basic, the basic physical skills should be equally important.
Reality proved that his guess was not wrong. In the end, he completely felt the benefits of the basic training — in reality, his originally sickly body was slowly recovering, and in the virtual world, his mecha piloting had once again broken through his limits several times, his results improving by leaps and bounds.
As smart as he was, he had long sensed that the rabbit mecha had purposely said those words to him. Perhaps the two of them were both control prodigies, so they appreciated each other's talents. That was why the other was willing to reveal some secrets of mecha control to him. And this secret was very likely a secret of the other's sect. Otherwise, with so many mecha operators out there, why were there so few who focused on basic control? For this, he engraved this great kindness into his heart.
Of course, right now, he still had no way of repaying this great kindness. In fact, he did not even dare to reveal his true identity to the other. Before he could grasp his own destiny, he needed to keep a low profile. Otherwise, he would be letting down everything his grandfather had done for him.
He knew very well that because of that fortune-telling, his grandfather had tried his best to conceal information about his talent, purposely announcing his mediocrity. In the end, he had even exiled him to the distant planet Azure on the grounds that his talent was too ordinary. This was all a form of protection, to protect him from the covetous eyes of the nobility.
Still, he would not accept it. He was unwilling to run away so passively. He wanted to become the strongest, and then stand at the pinnacle of this world, smiling as he looked down on all the winds and clouds. Yes, he wanted to grasp his own destiny. He wanted to change that destiny of his!
The cheetah mecha could not help but fall into deep thought. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaolong's initial urge to leave the training hall was instantly extinguished by the other's words. He believed that, since the god had said and done so, it meant that the basics were really important. Without even thinking about it, he quickly left messages for his good friends in the midst of the assessment, telling them not to choose to graduate, but to come back and re-train their foundations.
A few minutes later, his friend replied. Of course, his good intentions couldn't keep his two 'good friends' who had long wanted to get rid of him. In their messages, they even faintly revealed that he couldn't bear to see them leave first, so he used such a despicable method to keep them.
Lu Xiaolong was just a slow learner, but he was not an idiot. Of course, he could understand the hidden meaning behind these messages. Lu Xiaolong was very hurt. He really wanted to explain to his good friends, even hoping that they could watch the assessment footage of the gods, but he found that both of them had turned off their communicators at the same time, already refusing to accept his call request.
He tried contacting their mutual good friends, but the answer he received was to not disturb them. Now that they were in Mecha World, they could not be as carefree as they were in the mecha training hall. They were very busy...
Right then, Lu Xiaolong already felt that something was off, but he did not want to think too deeply about it. He did not want to suspect his good friends. Before him were two choices. One was to ignore the other and focus on practising his basic controls until he was satisfied. The other was to pass the assessment as soon as possible, ignoring the state of his basic controls and choosing to meet up with his friends as soon as possible.
He glanced at the two gods who had already finished their training and were resting at one side. After some thought, he decided to go ask the cheetah mecha. Perhaps the gods would be able to give him a good idea.
The cheetah mecha operator saw the rhinoceros mecha approaching him once more, and could not help but frown. To be honest, he did not really like interacting with strangers. This had a lot to do with the fact that he had always lived in a secluded manor.
He reflexively glanced at the rabbit mecha, and found that the rabbit mecha's eyes had suddenly blinked, as if telling him to be nicer.
The cheetah mecha operator smiled wryly. Alright, since the rabbit mecha operator wanted him to be nicer, then he would be nicer. He had no way of rejecting someone who had helped him before.
"Little Four, isn't it a little too much to challenge the other's patience like this?" Ling Lan was now very worried that the rhinoceros mecha operator would really enrage the cheetah mecha, and then have his consciousness wiped out by the other.
"Don't worry, I've already made preparations. The rhinoceros won't die." Little Four replied, "If I didn't test him out, how could I be at ease letting him get so close to you? After all, he's an evolved spectre." If he was wandering around somewhere else and not around, wouldn't it be too dangerous for his boss to run into him?
"Still, from the looks of things, his temper is pretty good. He's not as dangerous as we thought." Little Four was very satisfied with the other's performance. Handing Boss over to him like this, he could rest assured.
Little Four suddenly felt that something was wrong. What did he mean by handing Boss over to him... ah pui pui pui, these words must be taken back! Anyone who dared to covet his boss must die! Little Four sharpened his blade, and his little eyes began to stare at the cheetah mecha operator with hatred.
Of course, this behaviour of Little Four's was immediately quashed by Ling Lan. Ling Lan was utterly speechless — what was this brat thinking? Ling Lan suddenly found that sometimes, sharing consciousness was not a good thing after all.
Lu Xiaolong told his story to the cheetah mecha operator in detail. Ling Lan and the cheetah mecha operator both knew what was going on. Both of them were smart people, and knew full well that poor Lu Xiaolong had been heartlessly abandoned by his two best friends.
Ling Lan glanced at Lu Xiaolong sympathetically, but in her heart, she thought that this was actually a good thing. At least now he would not be completely used by others and then abandoned. That was much better.
The cheetah mecha operator thought the same. The two of them once again operated their mecha to look at each other, completely understanding what the other was thinking. Once again, they sighed at the miraculous rapport between the two of them, truly speechless.
Of course, the two of them would not give this answer directly. They and Lu Xiaolong had only met by chance, and were not at the stage of speaking too deeply with each other.
The cheetah mecha operator thought for a moment and said, "I suggest you focus on practising your basic controls. Although it will take a little longer, it will obviously be more useful to your friend. You don't want to be a burden to the other, right?" Perhaps time would allow him to see the truth clearly.
Lu Xiaolong nodded vehemently. What the god had said was undoubtedly his greatest regret.
"If you don't have enough talent, you can make up for it with hard work. So, don't even think about passing the test carelessly. Practice your basic controls well, otherwise you will really become a burden to your good friend." Of course, this good friend referred to his true good friend.
The cheetah mecha operator's words made Lu Xiaolong understand. That's right, even if he went over now, he still would not be able to help his friends. He might as well practice his basic controls obediently. Only when he had the ability would he be able to help them better.
Having made his decision, Lu Xiaolong said goodbye to the other. Of course, before he left, he had hoped to get the contact details of the two gods, but unfortunately, the cheetah mecha operator had politely declined. Lu Xiaolong did not dare to pester him. He knew that it was already a great blessing to be able to receive guidance from the gods just once. If he was still greedy, he would be too untactful. However, he still gave his name, his tone clearly hoping that if they had the chance to meet in the future, the gods would remember him.
Seeing the other leave the room reluctantly, Ling Lan could not help but exclaim in admiration, "I didn't expect you to be so good with words."
"Is that so? Looks like I have a lot of talent in this area. "Hearing the other's praise, the cheetah mecha operator's mood became extremely good, and he joked with himself.
"Yes, you need to develop your abilities in this area well. You mustn't waste your talent." Ling Lan could hear the other's self-teasing, and so she smiled in agreement. What Ling Lan did not know was that because of these words, the other had truly changed the way he interacted with others. When they met again in the future, she did not even dare to think of him as the operator of the cheetah mecha.
