Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "This Little Four, he's really getting bolder and bolder!" Ling Lan was once again certain that this intelligent entity of the learning space was definitely an oddball. His behaviour was just like a real child's, showing all sorts of emotions, including shamelessness and deceit.
Ling Lan piloted her mecha to the west gate of the town. There were fewer people at the west gate than at the other gates, because this was the path to Suncreed City. Even if the path to Suncreed City was cleared, it would only take a day before it was overrun by newborn savage beasts. In particular, those savage beasts were really too strong — those above advanced mecha warrior level would not be able to pass at all. Thus, this could be considered the most difficult hurdle of the newbie stage.
Ling Lan's rabbit mecha lay there, holding a carrot in its mouth and wagging its head. Its adorable appearance did indeed attract quite a bit of attention, but it quickly faded away. After all, mecha were still dependent on one's ability — aside from a portion of girls who liked acting cute, the boys would only cast a few curious glances at it and then toss it to the back of their minds.
Very quickly, Ling Lan saw a humanoid mecha appear at the west gate. Glancing left and right, she knew that this person should be [No Mecha Unrepaired], so she operated her mecha to jump in front of the other. This sudden movement seemed to startle the other — seeing the other's first reaction was to take a defensive stance, she knew that this mecha operator before her had pretty good operating reflexes.
"[No Mecha Unrepaired]?" Ling Lan used the public comms channel to ask.
"[Lingtian First-String]?" The other's incredulous voice proved that he was very disappointed in the external appearance of Ling Lan's mecha.
"Yes!" replied Ling Lan.
"Sorry, I have to go!" [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s voice was tinged with anger. He felt that he had been played, so he immediately operated his mecha to turn around and leave. However, he found a carrot-shaped sword placed horizontally in front of his mecha.
"We agreed to see my combat strength. I don't wish for anyone to go back on their word." Ling Lan's voice was extremely cold. For some reason, [No Mecha Unrepaired] actually felt a chill creeping into his heart.
"Hm?" Ling Lan's' hm 'was a little threatening, but inside, she was sweating profusely. For the sake of points, she had actually resorted to coercion... how shameless of her.
"Alright!" [No Mecha Unrepaired] agreed without even thinking about it. As a mecha modification genius, he was very familiar with mecha controls. His speed of turning around had been very fast, but the other had taken two steps forward at the same time, taking the initiative to control his weapon to block him. Just from that control alone, he could sense that the other's strength was definitely not weak. This was also one of the reasons why he had agreed so readily. Of course, he would not admit that he had changed his mind because of the other's intimidation.
"There are many vicious beasts along the way to Suncreed City. Of course, the vicious beasts closest to the west gate are not as strong as those deeper in. Let's go forward and see the first wave of vicious beasts. If you can gain my approval, I will give you the mission." [No Mecha Unrepaired] said, "Of course, if you cannot satisfy me, I will not continue with you."
"Alright!" Ling Lan agreed to [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s suggestion. "However, you need to keep up with my speed, or else I won't care about you." Ling Lan did not want to be distracted in the middle of a battle to protect him. Ling Lan's thinking was that if the other did not even have the ability to protect himself while she blocked off most of the vicious beasts, she would rather give up on this mission than help him complete it. Ling Lan believed that since he was not strong enough, he might as well continue to train in Three-Seas Town, and then go out into the wider world when he was strong enough.
"Alright!" replied [No Mecha Unrepaired], looking at the rabbit mecha before him.
The two mecha flew swiftly in the direction of Suncreed City. Beside them, there were mecha operators who recognised [No Mecha Unrepaired], and several of them quickly turned on their communicators to share their latest findings with their friends.
"Extra, extra! I just saw [No Mecha Unrepaired] challenging Suncreed Road with a rabbit trainee mecha."
"Tsk, this fellow still hasn't given up? Didn't he die enough last time? Still daring to challenge? "
"He's really getting worse and worse. This time, he actually got mixed up with a trainee mecha. I bet he'll die on the way again." This was a gloating voice.
"Who asked him to refuse to join the Thunder King's faction? Serves him right for being stuck in Three-Seas Town. I heard that the Thunder King has already said that no one is to help him. Weren't there three brats from other places who took up his mission a few days ago? Luckily, they were all wiped out, otherwise those three brats would definitely have been wiped out by the Thunder King's men. " This was a student from the First Men's Military Academy. Only those from the First Men's Military Academy knew about the grudge between [No Mecha Unrepaired] and the Thunder King.
"Where do you think that rabbit mecha is from? Actually taking on a mission unafraid of death? "asked another student from the First Men's Military Academy curiously.
"It's definitely not from our First Men's Military Academy, or else how would it dare to take on his mission? In the military academy, this is already considered an open secret. Even this year's new cadets would be reminded of this by the older cadets, "replied another student from the First Men's Military Academy. "Only the new cadets from the other academies would not know about this and dare to take on a mission. However, after being taught a few more lessons, I believe that these newcomers will not take on [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s missions anymore."
"Say, do you think the Thunder King will act this time?" More cadets from other military academies joined the conversation, asking curiously. It turned out that the channel they were chatting on was a channel exclusive to the military academies.
"Do you think they can pass the Suncreed Gateway mission?" Someone asked in return. "If they don't pass, how could the Thunder King act? Still, he might just give them a warning afterwards."
"That rabbit is really unlucky. He just came to Mecha World and he already provoked the Thunder King." Someone began to pity that rabbit who was very good at acting cute.
"This rabbit is still lucky. In Mecha World, he'll at most be given a warning and won't be seriously hurt. If he were a student from the First Men's Military Academy, then that would be truly tragic. The Thunder King will definitely not let off anyone who goes against his orders." In the First Men's Military Academy, the Thunder King was the one and only king. His strength was great, and his influence was strong. Even the leaders of the second and third factions did not dare to openly oppose him.
"Have you all heard? The new cadets this year are pretty wild, actually forming their own New Cadet Regiment and refusing to join the other factions. Could it be that the Thunder King and the others are just going to let them do as they please? "Someone suddenly raised this question.
"These new cadets might be happy now, but they'll be crying in the future. The Thunder King doesn't have the time to care about these trivial matters right now. He's currently in closed-door cultivation to gain insights. Once he comes out, he'll be the first super master of our military academy to advance to ace operator in his fourth year. At that time, do you think the Thunder King will let these new cadets do as they please and disrupt the order of the school? "This person was probably someone from the Thunder King's faction, being very well-informed.
"So that's how it is!" The comms channel was filled with sighs of admiration. Someone muttered, "I wonder if the Thunder King's faction is still accepting people..."
The informant said proudly, "To enter the Thunder King's faction, the minimum requirement is to reach intermediate mecha warrior level. When you all advance to intermediate mecha warrior level, perhaps I can make a recommendation."
"Alright, add me as a friend. You have to help me out in the future!" The people in the channel began to grow excited, all of them asking to add the informant as a friend. If they could really enter the Thunder King's faction, they could basically be assured that they would be able to do as they pleased in the First Men's Military Academy for the next six years.
"Hehe, no problem..." The informant had not expected that just revealing a bit of information about the Thunder King would actually be so popular. He was once again pleased with himself for having made the right decision to join the Thunder King's faction back then.
Ling Lan and [No Mecha Unrepaired] had no idea that after they had left, those mecha operators who recognised [No Mecha Unrepaired] had spread the news of them out. Right now, they were only focused on rushing to the area closest to the western gate on Suncreed Road.
Very soon, they arrived at the scene. Seeing the overwhelming number of white-furred animals with blood-red eyes before them, Ling Lan's forehead could not help but twitch several times. "Rabbits?" Godd * mn, asking her, a rabbit, to kill rabbits? No matter how you looked at it, it was very comical.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] did not seem to sense anything amiss, replying seriously, "Yes, don't underestimate them. These mutated rabbits are very frightening. Their teeth and claws are their killing weapons, but what's even more frightening is their kicking power, able to instantly kill low-level mecha..." That said, he glanced worriedly at the other. The other was just a trainee mecha rabbit — if he was instantly killed the moment he went up, that would be rather pitiful... he could not help but say kindly, "If it's not possible, why don't we go back?"
Ling Lan's rabbit mecha's front paw removed the carrot from its mouth, and she said coldly, "Give me two minutes!"
If she wanted to kill these rabbits, she would not need that much time at all. However, Ling Lan did not want to completely expose her strength in front of people she was not familiar with, so she had still extended the time by four times.
Ling Lan controlled the rabbit mecha, and with a powerful leap of its hind legs, the entire rabbit mecha pounced towards the mutated rabbits...
"Ah, you can't do this..." Seeing the rabbit mecha's actions, [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s expression changed drastically, and he cried out tragically. Once the ground shook violently, it would attract all the rabbits in the entire area. At that time, even an advanced mecha would lose their lives if they were not careful. This was also one of the important reasons why Suncreed Road was so difficult to pass through.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] quickly operated his mecha to dash away from his original spot, running 100 metres away. Only then did he turn his head back to glance at Ling Lan in shock, and then he was stunned by the scene before him.
Just as Ling Lan was controlling the rabbit mecha, brandishing the carrot-shaped sword in its hands, he saw the rabbits pouncing over one by one being sent flying, and then never moving again.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] hurriedly stopped his mecha and zoomed in on the image. He saw that the chests of the fallen rabbits had been pierced, dying on the spot.
Speechless, [No Mecha Unrepaired] turned the image to focus on the battling Ling Lan. Only then did he see that each of Ling Lan's movements was extremely relaxed and natural — that carrot's every swing never missed. At one point, he saw the other controlling the rabbit mecha to stomp on the ground with its hind legs, sending the entire mecha into the air. With a great whirlwind, all the rabbits pouncing on it had been swept clean. That scene was just like a peerlessly strong rabbit trampling on a bunch of harmless and weak little rabbits...
