"Could it be that the results of this batch of new cadets are all pretty good? Even if there are some who are slightly worse, in order not to waste them, they accepted them all? "Han Yu followed Li Lanfeng's reminder and guessed with a frown.
Wei Ji agreed, "These new cadets are all from Doha, and most of them are even from the Doha Central Scout Academy. I believe their abilities won't be too bad. Accepting them all at once, Leiting won't lose out. However, I suspect that this matter isn't that simple... could this be Leiting's scheme? His target is very likely not the entire new cadet regiment, but someone in the new cadet regiment. Perhaps he's just worried about that person's unruly nature, so he might as well wipe them all out? "Wei Ji suggested another possibility.
"That aberrant Zhang Jing-an spoke of?" blurted out Han Yu, as if he had been reminded of something, his eyes shining brightly.
The aberrant Zhang Jing-an was wary of was definitely not someone who could be easily subdued. Perhaps Leiting was afraid that if it was just one person, that aberrant would have no qualms about subduing him, and in the end, just like that fourth year mecha design genius, still refusing to submit even now. Perhaps having suffered once, Leiting changed their approach this time, devising a scheme to accept the entire regiment so that that aberrant would have no choice but to lower his head and submit for the sake of his companions.
"Creating a diversion, as expected, a good plan!" Han Yu sighed, a trace of admiration in his eyes. "Even if Qiao Ting isn't here, this vice regiment commander Lin Zhidong is still not to be trifled with."
A faction would not last long if it depended on one person's strength. The reason why Leiting had been the number one faction of the military academy for so many years was related to the several outstanding vice regiment commanders under them, especially the strategist Lin Zhidong. Although this first vice regiment commander did not specialize in strategy, his methods were no worse than those professional strategists.
Li Lanfeng did not refute the two's guesses, only nodding with a slight smile in agreement. However, the gazes of the four were once again drawn away by the stage, because the representative of the new cadet regiment had appeared. It was none other than the external regiment commander Wu Jiong. He had stepped forward to accept Leiting's wager, and proposed a wager that belonged to them. If the Leiting Mecha Clan lost, they would be responsible for the safety of the new cadet regiment for the next two years. In other words, in these two years, if any other faction challenged the new cadet regiment, the Leiting Mecha Clan would be responsible for all challenges.
This wager was actually a covert way of asking the entire Leiting Mecha Clan to become the thugs and protectors of the New Cadet Regiment. However, compared to Leiting's wager, the New Cadet Regiment's wager was not that excessive. Since Leiting wanted to merge with the entire New Cadet Regiment, the New Cadet Regiment could naturally also request Leiting to become their thugs. Moreover, the New Cadet Regiment was not black-hearted. They had only asked for two years, making it impossible for Leiting to refuse.
Sure enough, after some discussion among Leiting's vice commanders, they quickly agreed. After all, Leiting did not want the New Cadet Regiment to be coveted by other factions. If Leiting accidentally lost this time, they could still ensure that they would not be taken over by other factions within the next two years, and two years later, Leiting would still have the chance to swallow up the New Cadet Regiment. For Leiting, this wager was a win-win situation.
When Colonel Tang Yu announced the establishment of the bet between the two parties, the higher-ups of all the forces couldn't help but sigh. With this, even if the New Cadet Regiment managed to win by a fluke, the next two years would have nothing to do with them anymore. No matter how envious they were, they could only watch and not move, because they still did not have the guts to go up against the Leiting Mecha Clan...
At this time, they could not help but sigh in admiration at the shrewdness of the New Cadet Regiment — the wager they had proposed was something Leiting could not refuse. No matter the outcome, the New Cadet Regiment would still be able to obtain the protection of the great tree that was Leiting — it was only a matter of time.
After agreeing on the wager, the representatives of the Leiting Mecha Clan and the New Cadet Regiment walked down from the stage to wait for the first match to begin. Earlier, Colonel Tang Yu had already explained the rules of the battle. For each match, both sides would have five minutes to prepare. Within these five minutes, they must provide their own regiment's fighters. If they did not provide the name list within the allotted time, the referee would declare the other side the winner.
Walking down from the stage, Ling Lan glanced thoughtfully at the people on Leiting's side. Earlier on the stage, she had already secretly probed the strength of those people and had a rough idea of what to expect. However, other than herself, who would be able to win against all of them, Zilong and the others would be in some danger... Ling Lan frowned slightly, and began calculating the order of appearance for the arena battle.
This time, Ling Lan had chosen Zilong, Wu Jiong, Luo Lang, Li Yingjie, and herself as the representatives. Initially, she had wanted to see how the other side would choose their fighters, and then make the final arrangements. However, Colonel Tang Yu's words had ruined her wishful thinking. Concealing the name list and only announcing it at the end, leaving Ling Lan completely at a loss.
"Boss, have you forgotten that you still have me?" Just as Ling Lan was fretting over this, Little Four in the mindspace was stomping his feet in frustration, beginning to make a big fuss. Of course he would be depressed — why did Boss always forget about his existence at crucial moments? Mind you, he was the best cheating tool...
"Ah pui pui pui, what nonsense was that just now? Little Four, I'm a good youth — I definitely wouldn't do something as tasteless as cheating. " Little Four shook his head, glorifying his actions infinitely. "We're fighting a great information war. Anticipating the enemy's moves is the cornerstone of victory, so all methods are to serve this ultimate goal! History will be written by the victors! "Little Four had recently become obsessed with military literature — who knew where he had stolen a paragraph of text from...
Little Four was still using text to express the nobility of his actions, while Ling Lan's eyes lit up because of Little Four's reminder. Right, how could she have forgotten that Little Four was a god in the virtual world? Wouldn't it be easy to find out the name list the other side had entered? She could only hope that the other side hadn't chosen at the last second. Otherwise, even if Little Four knew, she wouldn't have had time to enter the candidate she wanted to send out.
Little Four had finally finished building his mind, and immediately sensed Ling Lan's worry. He immediately said in disdain, "With me, Little Four, around, is there a need for you to enter it manually? As long as you think of someone's name in your mind, Little Four and I can send the name list over at the same time... "It was such a simple matter, so why was his Boss so worried? Was she looking down on Little Four's ability? Little Four couldn't help but pout, protesting against Ling Lan's distrust of him.
Seeing Little Four's reaction, Ling Lan was relieved. In a great mood, she directly rubbed Little Four's face in her mindscape and laughed loudly. "Alright, Little Four, I'll leave this matter to you." Only in the mindscape would Ling Lan laugh heartily. That smile dazed Little Four once again. Sob sob sob, why did Boss's smile become infinitely more charming?
At this thought, Little Four once again confirmed that it was safer for Boss to keep a cold face. Otherwise, even if he was a god in the virtual world, he would still be turned into a pile of mush by Boss... Little Four suddenly remembered that he seemed to have a very weak resistance to Ling Xiao's father's smile. Could it be that his smile was Little Four's Achilles' heel?
At this thought, Little Four suddenly felt a sense of danger. This was because he remembered that artificial intelligence lifeforms couldn't have obvious weaknesses, or else they would be recycled back into the furnace to be remade. Little Four looked around abruptly and found that there weren't any other artificial intelligence lifeforms like him. Only then did he relax and pat his chest furiously. Luckily, he wasn't in the Mandora star system right now, so there weren't any other artificial intelligence lifeforms monitoring his abnormalities.
While Little Four was still reeling from the shock, Ling Lan thought of another problem. Although she knew the strength of those people, she couldn't match their names.
Little Four's attention was instantly drawn to Ling Lan's problem, forgetting his earlier fear. When he finally understood what his boss was troubled by, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at his boss with extreme disdain. Hells, and here he was, wondering how difficult it would be, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter!
Very soon, the information list of Leiting's participants and their 3D images appeared in Ling Lan's mindscape. Ling Lan very quickly matched the names to the people. Now, as long as the other party entered their names, Ling Lan would know the other party's physical skills and strength level, and she would be able to react instantly.
With this, Ling Lan's heart settled. This was because, Ling Lan was prepared to emulate Tianji's horse racing, making corresponding arrangements based on the strength of the opponents the other party had sent out. As long as they obtained three victories in the end, the New Cadet Regiment would have the right to rise!
"Boss, the other party's name list!" Little Four yelled loudly in the mindscape, and then displayed the other party's fighters and images in Ling Lan's mindscape.
"Hells, actually sending out the third strongest right off the bat. Looks like the other party is also wary of this move of mine, and they also intend to win this match." Ling Lan saw the other party's name list, and could not help but frown. The other party had indeed sent out a good card.
Ling Lan turned to look at her companions beside her, and finally her gaze landed on Luo Lang. "Luo Lang, prepare for battle!"
"Yes, Boss!" Luo Lang's pretty face lit up. He had not expected Boss to send him out for the first match.
Meanwhile, Little Four saw that Ling Lan had chosen Luo Lang, and without waiting for Ling Lan's instructions, he sent Luo Lang's name to referee Tang Yu.
Seeing Luo Lang's excited expression, Ling Lan could not help but pour cold water on Luo Lang's enthusiasm. Her expression was stern as she said, "The other party is an expert at the peak of the early stage of Qi-Jin, while you have just entered Qi-Jin. The Qi-Jin in your body has not stabilised yet, so it is not suitable for a head-on fight. At first, focus on a prolonged fight. Once you get used to it, you can consider other options."
Ling Lan had chosen Luo Lang because Luo Lang was currently very suitable for a tough fight to help him stabilise his early stage Qi-Jin. This was also why Ling Lan had not gone straight up to the field to win the match. In order to ensure the final victory of the match, Ling Lan also hoped that her companions would be able to improve in this match.
Ling Lan knew that with her arrangement, Luo Lang would probably have a tough fight, perhaps even be beaten up badly by the other party. However, for the sake of her companions' growth, she needed to be ruthless. Sometimes, losing was not a humiliation, but rather a form of improvement.
"Got it, Boss!" Luo Lang's pretty little face nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.
Right then, the 5 minutes were up. On the stage, Colonel Tang Yu's voice could be heard shouting, "Leiting Mecha Clan vs New Cadet Regiment, name list for the first match: 5th year Qi Ya vs 1st year Luo Lang."
