Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr "Probably not. The Thunder King is currently in seclusion, preparing to break through to ace operator status. He probably won't have the time to care about such a small matter," interjected Xie Yi.
The news of the Thunder King going into seclusion to advance to ace operator status had spread throughout the entire First Men's Military Academy. Even they, the new cadets, knew a thing or two about it. After all, the military academy had produced such a super genius — no matter what, the news had to be widely publicized.
Ling Lan's heart skipped a beat at these words, and she quickly said, "Wait, let me think. Perhaps this is a chance for us to develop."
Ling Lan's words made the others' eyes light up. They suppressed the excitement in their hearts, not daring to open their mouths and interrupt Ling Lan's contemplation.
Mind you, the New Cadet Regiment appeared to be doing well right now, without any conscious pressure from the other factions. But in truth, those factions were like a knife hanging over their heads, constantly in danger. This was because they did not know when those factions would act to pressure them forcefully, forcing them to join those factions in the end.
The students of the Central Scout Academy had always been a group of extremely talented students, so they were all extremely proud. They were not willing to make a choice against their will due to external pressure — this was also why they had quickly unified and established the New Cadet Regiment.
Originally, Zhang Jing-an had represented the original faction of the Central Scout Academy, which was an excellent shelter for them. Unfortunately, the year Zhang Jing-an represented had been defeated by them in the grand armed melee, so the new cadets did not want a loser to lead them. At the end of the day, they looked down on Zhang Jing-an — this was also one of the reasons Zhang Jing-an's persuasion had failed.
Of course, Ling Lan's existence was also one of the reasons they did not want to join Zhang Jing-an's faction. If Ling Lan was not around, many people would temporarily join Zhang Jing-an's faction to seek stability due to the pressure of reality. However, Ling Lan had come to the First Men's Military Academy. In the eyes of the new cadets, Ling Lan, who had led them to victory in the grand armed melee and also successfully seized control of the spaceship, was undoubtedly more trustworthy. This was also one of the reasons why the establishment of the New Cadet Regiment had gone so smoothly.
"Jijyun, tell me. The other party is clearly provoking us, and they don't even bother to hide which faction they're from. Is it really just to make an example out of them?" Ling Lan began to suspect the other party's motive.
Generally, in order to create a better deterrent force, they would create a moral high ground and push the responsibility of starting a war to the opponent. In the end, they would use an overwhelming victory to prove their superiority. At this time, it would be much easier to take advantage of this momentum to recruit some outstanding new students …
However, Leiting's methods this time were clearly a little impatient. They were obviously trying to incite the anger of the freshmen as quickly as possible. Their methods were low-level and crude. Even if they won, Leiting would be cursed at for bullying the weak and arrogantly oppressing the freshmen. This would even cause the other freshmen to have misgivings, fearing that they would be oppressed and bullied. This would instead affect the effectiveness of their recruitment. No matter how Ling Lan thought about it, she felt that something was wrong.
"If not, then why? Is it purely to suppress and merge with us? " Jijyun could not think of any other motive. "Although we have more people, compared to the total number of freshmen, the difference is too great. You should know that the military academy has close to 7000 freshmen entering the academy every year."
Han Jijun's words made Ling Lan suddenly think of something. She suddenly asked seriously, "What if they know the assessment results of us freshmen?"
The results of the freshmen assessment would be recorded in the student's file, and this result would affect the teachers and resources provided by the military academy for the student's training. In fact, this was already evident now. This batch of students had all entered the best classes for their respective specializations, received the best instructors, and received the best resources for their learning and training.
Just like Ling Lan's Mecha Piloting Class-A — not only were the instructors all outstanding in their respective fields, even the instructors guiding the actual mecha piloting classes were all ace mecha operators and above. Not only that, when it came time to distribute the actual mecha, they would often receive one of the best mecha in the academy. Of course, just how good would depend on the results of their studies in mecha piloting over the past few years.
Hearing this, Han Jijun seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. "Could it be that the other side has obtained our freshmen assessment results? There are hackers … "The military academy had specialized hacker classes, so it was very normal for factions to have hackers.
"Could it be that the military academy doesn't have proper defences?" Knowing that there were hackers among the students, Han Jijun was rather displeased that the other side had been able to obtain the freshmen's study materials so easily.
"Perhaps, this is also a test the military academy gives to the hacker students." Ling Lan did not find this strange. Any defences were all measures to be breached — the only difference was whether they succeeded or not.
Ling Lan's words made Han Jijun feel relieved. This was also very likely — for hackers to spend so much effort in deciphering, there must be sufficient benefits, and the freshmen assessment materials were undoubtedly the most attractive to these hackers. After all, even if the hackers did not value the materials, the various organisations they belonged to would be tempted — they would have no choice but to do it.
"From the looks of it, Boss Lan, your suspicions are correct. They are not trying to make an example out of us — their real target is actually us. This battle, it looks like we won't be able to escape." Ling Lan's reminder made Han Jijun understand as well, and he could not help but feel worried.
"Leiting is determined to get us, so even if the Thunder King is in seclusion, without this leader to hold the fort, they still want to subdue us as soon as possible. They are afraid that the other organisations will also get wind of this information and interfere in the end." Ling Lan had basically figured out Leiting's goal. "From the looks of it, the other factions do not know about our assessment information …"
At this moment, Ling Lan was instructing Little Four in the mindspace to check on the academy's mainframe, to see if anyone had already deciphered the defences and intercepted their information.
Very soon, Little Four received an answer. There had indeed been one person who had successfully entered the database and downloaded a copy of their documents, leaving behind a layer of defences. Meanwhile, there were several other batches of hackers who were currently deciphering that layer of defences. Based on their progress, they would probably succeed in about a week's time and obtain their information.
Since Ling Lan knew this, she naturally had Little Four reinforce the defences of their information once more. She did not wish for their information to be discovered by others — the more people who knew about it, the more danger it would be for the new cadet regiment. Because they were like toddlers holding up a treasure bowl — without enough strength to protect the treasure that belonged to them, the final outcome would only be for them to be abducted by other strong fighters …
Having received Ling Lan's orders, Little Four obediently went off to resolve the issue. Of course, he patted his little chest and promised that in this world, no one would be able to obtain this information under his protection, unless it was someone from the military academy who had the right to view the information.
"However, no matter what Leiting's goal is, this time's attack is actually not entirely a bad thing for us." Having resolved this hidden danger, Ling Lan breathed an internal sigh of relief. Now, she only needed to focus on dealing with Leiting. Even if Leiting was the number one faction in the academy, with only one faction, the pressure on her was much less.
Han Jijun had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said, "That's right. This time, for us, it is indeed not a bad thing."
Zilong was completely confused by the cryptic words of his boss and his best friend, and could not help but ask, "What are you two talking about? What good or bad thing? "
In a rare move, Han Jijun did not answer Zilong's question. Instead, he continued to speak to Ling Lan, "Due to the uncertainty of the situation, the other factions in the academy are probably all waiting for Leiting to deal with us."
"If we are unable to deal with Leiting's attack, even if we don't want to go to Leiting, we won't be able to fend off the other factions. Our New Cadet Regiment's final outcome will definitely be to fall apart and be swallowed up by the other factions." Ling Lan calmly described the final outcome of their New Cadet Regiment. "However, if we manage to survive this time, even though we have to go up against Leiting, as long as our new cadet assessment results are not known by the other factions, they will not want to go up against Leiting and provoke the Thunder King to interfere. After all, we are not the only new cadets. They would be more than happy for us to fight with Leiting so that Leiting would not be able to attend to the other new cadets, making it easier for them to recruit new cadets. "
"Going up against Leiting, although we may very well lose terribly, it is also our chance. Leiting will become our opponent, but can also become our protective talisman. " Han Jijun added, "But how can we guarantee that our information will not be obtained by the other factions?" Han Jijun was beginning to fret.
"Don't worry about this matter. I will handle it well," replied Ling Lan decisively. Only then did Han Jijun remember that their Boss Lan was very likely an unfathomable hacker. This had been proven on the spaceship, and he instantly broke into a smile.
At this time, the others also understood. Xie Yi asked, "Does this mean that, although we seem to be in great danger, the situation is actually not as bad as it looks from the outside?"
Ling Lan shook her head and said, "You can't say that. We can only say that success and failure are equal."
That said, Ling Lan turned to look at Han Jijun and instructed, "Jijyun, contact the other regiment commanders of the New Cadet Regiment and have them gather at our villa tonight. Since we've decided, we need to let them know."
"Alright! Boss, "replied Han Jijun, but he asked worriedly," What if they back off? " This was not the time of the grand armed melee. Leiting's strength and numbers far exceeded theirs, and they had just arrived at the academy and had yet to gain a firm foothold. Many of the new cadets would probably have many misgivings.
"Tell them first. If they don't want to do it, they can withdraw," said Ling Lan calmly, "I didn't want them to take action in the first place."
Han Jijun was taken aback, and then his eyes lit up. "Boss, you mean …"
Ling Lan did not answer, and Han Jijun did not expect a reply from Ling Lan either, because he already had an answer in his heart.
Meanwhile, at this time, in the dormitory of a certain grade, quite a number of people were glaring angrily at the person seated on the main seat. Among them, a fierce-looking young man was questioning him harshly, "Lin Zhidong, what the hell are you doing? If Regiment Commander Qiao finds out what you've done, just wait to be skinned alive by the regiment commander. "
