Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr The military academy examinations officially kicked off. Almost all the cadets' attention was drawn to this major examination. As the leader of the examination, Ling Xiao had to attend on the first day. This made Ling Lan feel like time belonged to her again.
These few days, Ling Xiao had been letting Ling Lan take him around the entire military academy, using the excuse that he wanted to get to know his daughter's academy better. In response, Ling Lan was very disdainful of Ling Xiao. Could it be that when her dad gave this excuse, he had forgotten that he had graduated from this military academy more than 20 years ago...?
Of course, Ling Lan understood that this was her dad looking for an opportunity to connect with her. After all, they had been absent for 16 years — whether it was Ling Xiao or her, they both needed this kind of opportunity. Thus, despite her disdain, Ling Lan still gladly accepted the mission and accompanied her dad around for a few days. It should be said that the results were pretty good. At least the two of them did not have to face each other in silence like the previous few times, and could finally have some topics to talk about.
However, Ling Lan, who had been free for half a day, was once again kicked out by her dad's deadly chain of tests after lunch. It turned out that after showing his face, Ling Xiao had found an excuse to come back.
Arriving at Ling Xiao's resting area, she saw Ling Xiao standing at the door looking relaxed and carefree. Then looking at the blazing sun outside, she instantly felt that going out at this time was really not a good idea.
Seeing Ling Lan frowning as she looked outside, Ling Xiao also glanced over and scratched his nose a little sheepishly. "Er, it seems like the weather is a little hot."
When he thought about being able to see his daughter again, things like the weather were not something Ling Xiao could consider. "Why don't we rest at home for a while?" Ling Xiao's temporary residence was also a villa, more luxurious than the one Ling Lan was staying in.
Although Ling Lan was not afraid of the heat, she did not want to go out and be roasted by the blazing sun for nothing, so she readily agreed. However, after she and Ling Xiao finished their third pot of iced red tea, she felt that drinking tea with her dad in silence like this was really rather stupid.
Ling Xiao seemed to have noticed this too. This made Ling Xiao feel rather discouraged. A few days ago, he had already found all the topics he could think of to talk about, but now, he really did not know what to say. Could it be that he had to ask the same questions from the past few days all over again? Would that be enough to make his daughter's Ling Lan's Daydreaming? Or maybe she would explode into a rage?
Ling Dayr, Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao, and Ling Xiao, who had finally found a rare day's Editor's Eletd2 Ling, Ling. How could Ling Ling Ling? Ling Ling Ling Ling's Xing's Day- What should he? His 16-year-old daughter should be at the age of her first awakening of love. Should he ask Ling Lan if there was anyone she liked or admired recently?
Just as Ling Xiao was conflicted, Ling Lan, who had been silent for a long time, stroked her teacup and finally spoke, "Father, do you have a login pod for the virtual network here?"
Ling Xiao paused, and then quickly said, "Yes, it's on the third floor!" In order to properly entertain the assessment officers of the division, the villas they lived in were all equipped with virtual login pods, making it convenient for these officers to enter the virtual world to kill time when they were free.
Ling Lan placed her teacup on the coffee table, and then raised her head to look seriously at Ling Xiao. "Since Father is free in the afternoon, why don't you come with me to the mecha operator's house for a walk?"
"Mecha World?" Ling Xiao thought for a moment. Ever since he had advanced to god-class operator, it seemed like it had been a long time since he had gone there. He had almost forgotten that he had once been a fan of Mecha World when he was young. His heart stirred, and he was rather interested. Of course, most importantly, this was an invitation from his precious daughter. Even if he had never been to Mecha World before, he still wanted to go in and take a look.
"Sure." Ling Xiao readily agreed. Thus, father and daughter quickly arrived at the third floor and lay down in the virtual login pod. Before Ling Lan entered the virtual login pod, she did not forget to tell Ling Xiao that her name in Mecha World was [Lingtian First-String].
"[Lingtian First-String]?" Ling Xiao looked at the login pod beside him, which had already closed its door, and smiled thoughtfully.
Meanwhile, in Mecha World, in a sealed off mecha combat room where spectators were not allowed, two mecha were engaged in an intense battle.
One was a standard Federation advanced mecha. It had a traditional blue and white body, and other than the removable parts of the body and the use of some personal weapons, there were almost no modifications or changes.
The other mecha, on the other hand, was very unique in both appearance and colour. It was different from the blue, silver and red colours of the typical standard mecha, instead using the less commonly used black of the Federation. The overall appearance of the mecha, compared to the standard advanced mecha, appeared much more burly and sturdy. Its four limbs alone were twice the length of the standard mecha, and the weapons it was equipped with were all considered the strongest among cold weapons. With one look, it was clear that this mecha was definitely a close-combat mecha.
Anyone familiar with Mecha World would know that this type of extremely unique mecha was a special-class mecha. Those who could operate them would definitely be special-class mecha masters.
Generally speaking, when an advanced mecha warrior met a special-class operator, the battle would be one-sided. In other words, the special-class operator would definitely be able to obtain the final victory. As for how many moves he would need to win, that would depend on the difference between the two mecha operators.
However, this battle was somewhat different. Although it seemed that the advanced mecha warrior had indeed been at a disadvantage throughout the entire match, it was only because he was at a disadvantage. There was no such thing as a one-sided situation. There were a few times when he had indeed been in a dangerous situation. He had been suppressed and beaten by the opponent until he was almost out of breath, but in the end, the advanced mecha warrior had still managed to pull through.
Thus, the battle became a protracted one. In the end, what was being tested was not mecha control technique, nor was it the performance of the mecha, but the endurance of the operators.
The two mecha once again clashed in mid-air, producing a violent clashing sound. In close combat, the advanced mecha was clearly at a disadvantage. This could be seen from the distance required for the two mecha to land after bouncing off each other.
After this round of attacks, the two mecha did not continue to tangle with each other, but instead faced each other off.
"Huff, huff, huff..." Because there were no outsiders to disturb them, the two mecha directly opened each other's public comms. The sound of heavy breathing could be heard through the comms.
"Hells, Li Lanfeng, you freak." The first to slow down his heavy breathing was the black mecha, who finally could not help but curse. It was Zhao Jun, who had already advanced to special-class mecha.
"Haha..." Li Lanfeng laughed weakly. The difference in levels was not so easy to make up for. He had already done all he could to not be defeated by Zhao Jun. This result made him feel somewhat discouraged, and he was not all that happy about this result that had surprised the others.
"How many times, weren't, I, almost, defeated by you?" Li Lanfeng said in a stutter, panting heavily. In terms of stamina recovery, he was not as good as a physical prodigy like Zhao Jun.
"Tch, didn't you manage to pull through? You're just like an unkillable cockroach, "Zhao Jun complained. Zhao Jun grumbled. Whenever he fought with Li Lanfeng, he would always feel very aggrieved. He clearly had the feeling that he could defeat the other, but he was just that one breath away. Several times, the victory that was within his grasp had brushed past him, and the gloom in his heart was no less than Li Lanfeng's.
"How in the world did you train? Being able to withstand the attacks of a special-class operator like me as an advanced mecha warrior... if you advance to special-class operator, how am I supposed to survive? " Zhao Jun felt that his position as the number one expert was somewhat precarious. It looked like he needed to work harder and train harder, so that after Li Lanfeng advanced, he would no longer be able to survive.
Zhao Jun was very clear-headed. Ever since he had found out about Li Lanfeng's aberration, he had made up his mind to follow Li Lanfeng. He was actually not that stupid, but after being beaten down so many times by Li Lanfeng, he did not want to waste his brain anymore. Thus, he had positioned himself as a super fighter... uh, no, a super expert. But now, he found that even this goal of his was so difficult to achieve.
"Don't worry, I still need some time to advance to special-class operator. By that time, you'll probably be able to touch the barrier of ace operator." Li Lanfeng had finally recovered and was able to speak slowly. "So, you can still suppress me. That's why you still have a chance," comforted Li Lanfeng with a smile.
"Are you comforting me or mocking me?" said Zhao Jun unhappily...
Right then, a bright red system announcement shocked everyone, interrupting the conversation between the two of them.
"Breaking news! The great top-class mecha operator [Belief] has arrived at Mecha World. Does his arrival mean that other top-class experts will appear one after another? It can be predicted that Mecha World will once again be stirred up... "
“belief！” Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng exclaimed at almost the same time. This name was too familiar — it was the name of the mecha of the god-class operator Ling Xiao. Although they did not know what Ling Xiao's name was in Mecha World, once this name was associated with a top-class expert, they could not help but wonder if this person was actually Ling Xiao himself.
"It must be fake. How could General Ling Xiao have the time to come to Mecha World?" Zhao Jun's face was full of disbelief; he was the first to deny this. They knew very well that General Ling Xiao was currently building up the 23rd Division and was extremely busy. Even if he had the time, he would not come to this sort of Mecha World, where the majority of the world was occupied by the younger generation. If he wanted to find someone to PK, he would go to the Federation military headquarters, where only professional military personnel had the right to enter the virtual mecha battle arena.
"I don't know. It's just that these top-class experts are basically all old monsters from more than a decade ago or even several decades ago. Perhaps it's him." In contrast to Zhao Jun's disbelief, Li Lanfeng did not dismiss this possibility. Perhaps General Ling Xiao had gone crazy and wanted to come over to relive the memories of his youth.
Leaving aside Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng's wild guesses, everyone in Mecha World was also stunned by this breaking news. It could be said that the initially noisy world of Mecha World fell silent. Quite a number of mecha operators who had been fighting against monsters had even lost their lives as a result. However, none of this was a problem. Very soon, Mecha World was in an uproar... they were all asking their companions around them who this top-class expert [Belief] was.
Some of the smarter ones even logged onto the official website of Mecha World to search for information on [Belief]. Unfortunately, they were disappointed. This was because the information on top-class experts could only be accessed by other experts of the same level. When they went to check, they would only receive a response saying that they were not strong enough or did not have the authority to do so. They did not find any clues.
