Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Reality proved that the bodies and endurance of children in this era were very tough. No matter how angry Luo Lang was, he was still as energetic as ever, but his expression was unreadable — it was clear that he was really quite angry.
Seeing Luo Lang like this, Ling Lan couldn't bear it any longer. Adding her two lives together, she was already over 30 years old — she could already be considered a weird auntie — so how could she bully a child like this?
Somewhat ashamed, Ling Lan smiled at Luo Lang and said, "I was just kidding, don't be angry."
Ling Lan's smile stunned Luo Lang for a moment. Ling Lan's sudden change in attitude also caught him off guard. This dumbfounded look of his made the companions around him laugh out loud once more. It couldn't be helped — this look of his was really very adorable. Even Luo Lang's little sister couldn't help but snicker at her brother's adorable look. However, she quickly lowered her head shyly, somewhat regretting her actions. How could she laugh at her brother who had always doted on her like this...
Meanwhile, Ling Lan was also having a headache because of her random laughter. It turned out that she had accidentally revealed that seductive smile again, causing Little Four to flip out. Right now, she was fretting over how to pacify Little Four, who was becoming more and more explosive by the day.
Leaving aside Ling Lan, who was busy pacifying the flipping Little Four, Luo Lang was also jolted awake by the laughter of the companions around him. Realising that he had embarrassed himself again, two blushes quickly spread across his fair cheeks, spreading all the way to his ears.
Then, in a fit of rage, he pounced viciously at Ling Lan... er, Zilong, who was beside her, pinning him down. And just like that, the two of them started fighting.
Zilong and Zilong were tangled up in a tangle. As Zilong's good friend, Han Jijun did not try to stop them, instead pulling Ling Lan and Han Xuya to one side to watch with folded arms. Meanwhile, Luo Lang's little sister also silently took a few steps back to hide, only looking at her brother with worried eyes.
Ling Lan finally managed to calm Little Four down, but she found that no one came forward to stop the fight. This made Ling Lan feel very strange. One had to know that in her era, when children fought, they would always be pulled away and stopped immediately. And here, the staff on the field were not far away. They clearly saw the situation here, but turned a blind eye. What was going on? Ling Lan felt that her worldview was being challenged by this world.
Ling Lan was not a person who could endure. She asked the question in her heart, which once again attracted Han Jijun's scrutinizing gaze. However, when he realized that Ling Lan really did not understand, he was a little surprised. This was common knowledge that a father should teach. Didn't Ling Lan's father tell him?
Although Han Jijun didn't understand, he still explained to Ling Lan, "This is a habit cultivated since childhood. If you have a problem with someone and want to solve it, you are allowed to fight. But no matter who wins or loses, you have to smile after the matter is resolved."
What a strange education. Were they not afraid of raising a group of violent people? Ling Lan once again felt that the ideological education she had received in her previous life was somewhat incompatible with the ideology of this world where the strong were respected. For example, no matter if it was a commoner, a noble, or an aristocratic family, the first goal of the children here was to be a soldier, the second goal was still a soldier, and the third goal was still a soldier... because soldiers were the strongest, especially after they became mecha operators. Only those who did not meet the physical requirements and could not be called soldiers would have no choice but to choose other professions.
And Ling Lan had been educated since she was young on how to become the strongest mecha operator. Everything she had learned was to serve this goal, and her mother, Chamberlain Ling Qin, had never even thought of asking her whether she liked it or not.
In reality, she really had no interest in that so-called mecha operation. After all, she was a girl, and naturally had little interest in battle. It was just that she had not expected to come to this world where everyone was a soldier, and even more so, she had not expected to be followed by the so-called King Mecha Learning Machine...
Ling Lan could not help but rub her chin and think: could this be the will of the heavens? Everything was telling her that she had to walk the path of a mecha operator?
Zilong and Luo Lang were locked in battle. In terms of combat ability, Zilong was actually a level higher, but Luo Lang had a tenacity that refused to admit defeat. Although he was at a disadvantage, he was still able to hold on.
Ling Lan really wanted to know the final result of their battle, but when she saw the examiner's group number getting closer and closer to theirs, she knew that she had no chance. Regretfully, she reminded them, "It looks like it's almost our turn to take the test. Is it alright for you guys to continue fighting like this?"
The two people on the ground suddenly froze. Luo Lang's reaction was faster than Zilong's. He shoved Zilong aside and quickly got up, beginning to straighten his clothes. Although he could not regain his initial noble air no matter how hard he tried, his good etiquette and education did not allow him to face the examiner in such a disheveled manner.
Zilong was not prepared enough, and was sent rolling twice by Luo Lang's shove. He quickly got up and said indignantly, "When the test is over, we'll continue fighting." Carefree as he was, he was already used to his disheveled appearance. He only used his sleeve to wipe away the sweat on his forehead, and that was it.
Luo Lang naturally would not back down. Thus, the two of them agreed to fight after the test was over.
Two spirited children... Ling Lan found that she was really getting old. She really did not like this kind of strange duel between them. At this time, Ling Lan had long forgotten that the main culprit who had caused Zilong and Luo Lang to fight was herself.
The examinees took the test very quickly. Zilong and Luo Lang had only just rested for a while and had not fully recovered when the examiner had already called Ling Lan's group. Ling Lan's group of ten did not dare to hesitate and quickly ran over.
All ten of them stood on the track, making their final preparations. Right then, an examiner walked over and explained the content of this test. They were required to start running from the starting line and safely reach the finish line to complete the test. Points would be awarded based on the amount of time the examinees spent.
While Ling Lan was preparing, she did not forget to observe the group of examinees in front of them. This was a bad habit she had picked up from Number One — every time Number One came out, his actions and actions could be a test. Ling Lan could not help but be on high alert, not daring to miss out on any action or comment that could be a hint. This caution had already become second nature to her.
Ling Lan saw that group of examinees quickly run out from the starting line under the examiner's orders, and then very quickly disappear from sight...
"You noticed?" whispered Han Jijun as he leaned over. He had also noticed the problem.
"Yup, it's clearly a sunny day, but there's a fog on the track..." Ling Lan had noticed something strange, and thus understood why those examinees had disappeared so quickly.
"Looks like they're using virtual reality technology here. I don't think this test is that simple." Han Jijun was definitely a smart child. While other children (like Ling Lan) might not be familiar with many advanced technologies, he was very familiar with them.
Han Jijun's reminder made Ling Lan secretly raise her guard.
Very soon, the examiner at the starting line signaled for Ling Lan's group to go over. Seeing that they were all ready, he gave the order and they started running.
Zilong took the lead, with Luo Lang following closely behind. It looked like the two of them were going to go head to head.
Ling Lan ran in third place, with Han Jijun following right behind her. This child who liked to use his brain had the same idea as Ling Lan — he was prepared to follow behind Zilong and observe for a while before making a decision. Meanwhile, the other children followed one after another behind Han Jijun.
