Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr The next day, Ling Lan excitedly logged into the virtual world. She quickly chose her rabbit mecha and arrived at the mecha combat hall, ready to find the cheetah mecha operator to tell him the good news. Hells, she could finally say goodbye to basic controls.
However, she was soon horrified. If she had a simulation animation, she would have been able to see the rabbit mecha tremble from head to toe, her hair standing on end.
It turned out that Ling Lan had inadvertently opened the mecha's screen and saw two large black holes staring at her. Those black holes were really too dark and empty, causing Ling Lan's scalp to tingle.
"Hells, why are you lying in front of me?!" Ling Lan exploded, jumping up to start punching and kicking.
She saw a rabbit wielding a carrot viciously hitting a cheetah lying lazily on the ground before him. This lovey-dovey scene caused the surrounding rookies to look over curiously. What was this legendary rabbit-cheetah combo doing now?
The cheetah helplessly used its front and back paws to block the rabbit's tantrum, and said gloomily, "Don't be angry, I have something to tell you."
Eh? He also has something to say? Stunned, Ling Lan retracted her carrot and placed it in the rabbit's mouth. Then, she crouched down beside the cheetah, waiting for the other to speak.
The cheetah was silent for a moment, and then said dejectedly, "I just want to tell you that I have to take part in the graduation assessment today." By saying this, the cheetah was telling Ling Lan that this time, he would choose to graduate and leave the mecha training hall to enter the real mecha world.
The cheetah mecha operator actually felt that he had let down the rabbit mecha operator. If not for the rabbit mecha operator, he would never have been able to make such great progress in mecha piloting. After this period of practice, he had already fully understood why basic controls were so important. He was very grateful to Ling Lan, and this gratitude made it even more difficult for him to let go of his own initiative to leave.
Huh? Such a coincidence? She wanted to leave, and the other actually wanted to leave too. In that instant, Ling Lan had a feeling that the rapport between her and the cheetah mecha operator was really a little strange.
"Uh … I was going to say that I'm going to take the graduation exam." Because of her surprise, Ling Lan paused for a few seconds before saying what she had wanted to tell the cheetah mecha operator.
However, in this odd few seconds, the cheetah operator began to have other thoughts. He thought that Ling Lan was purposely saying these words of consolation to make him feel better. One had to know that it was still difficult for them to break Ling Xiao's graduation exam record with their current strength. The cheetah operator had always believed that the reason Ling Lan had stayed behind in the mecha training hall was to complete this mission. He even suspected that this was a mission from Ling Lan's sect …
Therefore, Ling Lan's sudden change in decision and saying that she would also participate in the graduation examination was clearly for his sake in the cheetah manipulator's eyes. He could not help but feel touched and ashamed.
Such a good mentor and helpful friend, but because of his promise to his grandfather, he was unable to reveal his true identity and appearance... the guilt in the cheetah mecha's heart grew, and his reluctance to part grew stronger and stronger.
"I'm sorry!" All his emotions could only condense into these three simple words in the end.
"I'm telling the truth …" Ling Lan was speechless. Dear, you're thinking too much.
"Due to some matters in the real world, I need to leave the mecha training hall and go to Mecha World. I'm really sorry."
"Actually, I'm really not lying …" Ling Lan scratched her head gloomily. Why didn't he believe her words?
"I know! Thank you! " The cheetah mecha operator abruptly interrupted Ling Lan's words and thanked her sincerely. Then, without waiting for Ling Lan's reply, he chose to enter the graduation exam …
Seeing the cheetah mecha's figure vanish in the blink of an eye due to guilt, Ling Lan almost flipped the table in anger. Hells, bastard! Couldn't he have listened to what she had to say before leaving?
After a long while, Ling Lan, who had calmed down, suddenly burst out laughing. For the first time, she found that the cheetah mecha operator could actually be so stubborn. Also, this fellow was really good at imagining things, wasn't he?
Still, Ling Lan felt a faint reluctance in her heart. After all, the cheetah mecha operator was the first person in this world she had felt like a friend. Unfortunately, the two of them had met at the wrong time. Both of them had hidden their true identities, so in the end, they could only become strangers with the most tacit understanding.
"Little Four, go take a look at his results." This time, Ling Lan did not want to disturb the other's exam, especially when the other was already harboring feelings of guilt. This made Ling Lan feel somewhat regretful — honestly, she really wanted to part on good terms with the cheetah mecha.
Very quickly, Little Four told her about the cheetah mecha's final exam results. He had only missed Ling Xiao's record by less than 2 seconds, and this result had successfully pushed him into fifth place, the best result in history.
In the end, Little Four told Ling Lan that the other's brainwaves had really disappeared from this mission space. In other words, he had indeed left the world of the mecha training hall and entered another virtual space.
Little Four asked Ling Lan if she wanted to continue tracking the other's foothold in the other virtual space. Ling Lan thought about it, but rejected the idea outright. Just as she had thought from the start, the two of them had met at the wrong time. If they could not interact with each other using their real identities, how could they let this friendship continue?
"What a pity. If he was here, Boss, your mecha control skills would have improved even faster." Little Four would always stand on Ling Lan's side, thinking for her.
"You should know that gold will shine one day," said Ling Lan enigmatically.
What did Boss mean by that? Little Four felt dizzy. He hurriedly Baidu Boss's words, and instantly understood. So Boss meant that the other would never be able to escape from Boss's grasp. Boss V587! Scatter the flowers!
Ling Lan ignored Little Four's misinterpretation and chose to take the graduation assessment, entering the mission space that belonged to her. She cheered herself on internally, "I can't lose to that punk!"
After countless assessments, Ling Lan and the others had passed through almost all of the assessment maps. And this time, it just so happened to be a map that Ling Lan had been assessed on before. Ling Lan closed her eyes slightly, and every obstacle in the assessment mission appeared clearly in Ling Lan's mind …
The mecha rang out with the last few beeps to signal the start of the assessment. At the final two seconds of the countdown, Ling Lan abruptly opened her eyes, and a light flashed through them.
The final beep rang out, and Ling Lan's rabbit mecha leapt out like a gust of wind. It jumped and danced freely among those irregular obstacles, like a flickering shadow, appearing and disappearing.
Meanwhile, in the cockpit, Ling Lan's expression was unusually relaxed. Her eyes were even half-lidded, and the movements of her fingers did not seem as hurried as before. Instead, they seemed rather casual. Sometimes, she would inadvertently create layers of afterimages, making her hands look like they were dancing gracefully, dancing out a beautiful chapter of her own.
Unknowingly, Ling Lan had used immediate pre-control mode. Because of her understanding of the map, Ling Lan's pre-control was very logical. Meanwhile, Ling Lan had also entered a kind of celestial state of control, causing Little Four to be both shocked and delighted at Ling Lan's good luck.
This situation clearly proved that Boss Ling Lan's control skills were about to rise to another level. Perhaps this time, she would finally be able to reach the minimum hand speed that daddy had requested …
"Congratulations, you've successfully created a new record! The second world will make a worldwide announcement. May I ask if you would like to choose to be public or anonymous? "
Little Four saw that Ling Lan was still immersed in that epiphany of control, so he quickly helped Ling Lan choose to remain anonymous. Although even if she chose to be public, no one would be able to find out Boss Ling Lan's real identity, there was still some risk involved. Little Four always kept Ling Lan's words in mind — in everything he did, he had to protect himself first before anything else.
After Little Four had made his choice, in the virtual world, everyone online heard a voice from the main system: Congratulations to XXX for successfully creating a new graduation record for basic mecha control! Every generation brings forth new talents — the peaceful world has finally ushered in a turbulent era!
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. Those who knew the rabbit and leopard mecha combination were all guessing whether it was one of them who had broken the record. Some people were even so excited that they went offline on the spot, using their communicators in the real world to ask their friends who were still training in the mecha training hall about the situation.
However, the news they received was that even they did not know. Some of them had just happened to look through the assessment list during that period of time, but they had not seen any sign of the rabbit mecha or the cheetah mecha.
It turned out that to ensure secrecy, during Ling Lan's assessment, Little Four had excluded Ling Lan from the viewable list. In other words, no one had been able to see Ling Lan's assessment.
The only one who knew the truth was the cheetah mecha. In fact, when the cheetah mecha operator heard this system announcement, his first reaction was that it was the rabbit mecha. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "So you could have graduated and left long ago. You were probably waiting for me in the training hall. But in the end, I've still disappointed you. "Dejected, he chose to leave the mecha world.
In the private manor, the butler was patiently waiting for his young master to go offline. However, the latter still did not open the login pod. Thinking of something, the butler hurriedly rushed over to open the login pod from the outside, only to see the beautiful youth lying inside, crying silently.
"What's wrong, Young Master? Could it be that something has happened? " The butler was nervous. His young master was a strong child — in the past, when his health was poor, even if the pain was unbearable, he would still smile at others, never crying or losing his composure.
The beautiful youth opened his eyes. His initially clear and resolute gaze was now somewhat dazed. Just as the butler was about to ask again, the beautiful youth suddenly asked, "Head Butler, why did Grandpa insist that I have to wait until I'm 20 years old before I can let others know my true identity and face? Why? "
If not for this promise, he would not have chosen to leave the rabbit mecha operator, and would not have felt this heartache. So it turned out that losing a friend was such a painful thing.
The head butler opened his mouth, but in the end, all he said was the same sentence, "Young Master, you'll know in the future!"
"In the future? Hehe, sometimes, a missed opportunity is a missed opportunity … Head Butler, do you know? Just now, I missed out on what should have been the most important friend and confidant of mine in this life! " The beautiful man finished his sentence with a bitter laugh. His tears once again fell silently. His expression was somewhat aggrieved, but even more so was the sorrow of not being able to control his own fate. It was only at this time that he behaved like a thirteen-year-old child.
