Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr "Right, do you have a battle clan in Mecha World? I don't have one yet. If there's still a spot, why don't you count me in? " Li Lanfeng did not want to become strangers with his rabbit once again. He had always been reluctant to join a battle clan, firstly because he was afraid of exposing himself, and secondly because he had such an extravagant wish in his heart. He only wanted to join the rabbit's battle clan, even if the mecha in that battle clan were all rabbits...
"Er, I'm currently building..." Ling Lan did not expect the leopard to still not have a battle clan in seven years. Could it be that he had not entered a military academy back then, but had instead gone to a comprehensive academy? Or perhaps he was just an amateur mecha operator? Otherwise, based on the other's operating ability, it was impossible for no one to want him.
Only military academies had battle clans, because military academy students would all become soldiers of the Federation in the future. The battle clans established by military academy students would be continued and supplemented in the military. On the other hand, students from comprehensive academies might not necessarily become soldiers in the future, so they would not have the right to form battle clans.
Of course, this did not mean that these students had no chance of joining a battle clan. Some mecha operators who liked operating would temporarily join some battle clans in Mecha World that were still short of members. Of course, no matter how good these people were at piloting, they could not become permanent members of a battle clan. The reason was simple — no matter if it was now or in the future, they would not be soldiers. Unless they were willing to serve in the military and become soldiers, only then would they have the right to become permanent members of a battle clan.
Ling Lan knew very well that many of the mecha battle clans in Mecha World were evolved from real life mecha battle clans. [Self-Defined Destiny]'s words basically confirmed that he also did not have a battle clan in the real world. This almost proved that [Self-Defined Destiny] was probably not a military academy student. Otherwise, with his ability, even if he did not join any other battle clan, he could still form his own battle clan.
Ling Lan had initially wanted to ask which school [Self-Defined Destiny] was in, but now she did not dare to ask, afraid that she would hurt the other's feelings. Ling Lan knew very well how obsessed and serious the leopard was with mecha piloting. If possible, the leopard would definitely want to go to a military academy.
"Building?" Li Lanfeng was taken aback by Ling Lan's reply.
Seven years ago, he was able to enter the virtual world to learn mecha piloting, so he should be around the same age as him, or even a little older than him. Why hadn't he established a battle clan yet? Could it be that the other party was not a military academy student? Or could it be that he had not been admitted to a military academy and could only attend a comprehensive academy? Now that he had become an official soldier, was that why he was able to establish a combat squad?
Li Lanfeng, who originally wanted to ask which school the rabbit went to, suddenly hesitated. What if the other party asked him back? Knowing that he was studying at the First Men's Military Academy — would that be a heavy blow to the other's heart?
"Can you leave a spot for me when you build it?" Li Lanfeng deliberated for a moment and decided not to ask this sensitive question. Instead, he earnestly asked Ling Lan to join the team. In Li Lanfeng's heart, even if Rabbit was just a small soldier, he was willing to become a member of Rabbit's battle team and fight together with him on the battlefield.
"Uh, okay. Will you become a soldier in the future?" Ling Lan asked cautiously. If Leopard didn't give up and answered yes, she would reserve a permanent member position for Leopard. In the future, when he entered the army, he could officially join. If not, she could only regretfully give Leopard a temporary contract. Ling Lan needed to be responsible for the other members of her battle team.
Ling Lan's question made Li Lanfeng pause, but he quickly understood the reason and replied decisively, "Of course." As expected, Rabbit was now a soldier! Li Lanfeng was glad that he hadn't asked rashly.
"Okay then, my battle team will leave a spot for you." Ling Lan let out a sigh of relief. She was well aware of Leopard's mecha control talent and ability — he was definitely not much worse than Zilong. Having Leopard join was much better than having someone unfamiliar join. She believed that with Leopard's temperament and personality, Zilong and the others would not dislike him.
For some reason, Ling Lan had unlimited confidence in Leopard, believing that he would definitely be able to gain the approval of his team members.
"We will go to the 23rd Division." Ling Lan reminded him again. She didn't know how old Leopard was and whether it was time for him to enter the military. In any case, she had to remind him not to apply for the wrong division. Four years later, when they went to the 23rd Division, even if Leopard was still a small soldier, she could use her authority to transfer Leopard to her side and officially join her battle team.
"Okay, got it." Li Lanfeng replied happily. He had originally wanted to apply for the 1st Division, but he decisively set his goal for next year at the 23rd Division and then waited for his rabbit to come find him.
Strangely, the two of them didn't ask about school, each thinking that the other was thinking the same way. This caused them to miss the first chance to find out the truth. It had to be said that Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng were indeed very tacit — even if they misunderstood each other, they would still misunderstand each other.
"That special-class mecha friend of yours, doesn't he have a battle team? Didn't he invite you? " Ling Lan thought of the special-class mecha who had come in with [Self-Defined Destiny] and could not help but ask curiously.
"Neither of us have an official battle team, but he has signed a temporary contract with a mecha battle team. Next year, the contract will be automatically terminated. If at that time, your battle team still has a spot, add him. Of course, if you feel that it's not suitable, you can sign a temporary contract. He's the same as me — he will also become a soldier in the future." Only then did Li Lanfeng remember that there was still Zhao Jun. He hurriedly mentioned this in passing, even taking the initiative to sign a temporary contract.
Li Lanfeng knew very well that he wanted to follow the rabbit mecha because of the strange fate and tacit understanding between him and the rabbit mecha. This was still engraved in his heart, but Zhao Jun had no relationship with the rabbit mecha at all. He could not make things difficult for the rabbit mecha, nor could he decide Zhao Jun's future for him. After all, the rabbit was very likely just a small soldier, and with Zhao Jun's current strength, a first lieutenant would not be able to escape. Thus, if both Zhao Jun and the rabbit were willing to work together, signing a temporary contract would be beneficial for both parties.
Li Lanfeng was not someone who wanted to twist his friends into a group. He knew very well that getting along with people required fate. He was certain that for the sake of the rabbit mecha, he would be willing to compromise and endure all the unbearable things. He had long resolved himself that even if the rabbit battle team consisted of a bunch of small soldiers, he would still lower himself to curry favour with the other party and strive for their approval. This was all because he had wanted to follow the rabbit since seven years ago. Under this kind of conviction, all difficulties were fleeting clouds.
"Yes, we'll talk about it when the time comes. Right now, I still have five companions who should be fixed members of the battle team in the future. Including you, there are still a few spots left in the twelve-man battle team. Oh, I've also taken a liking to two other people, but I haven't asked them if they're willing to join... if it's still not done by next year, just ask your friends to come over and try. If everyone is satisfied, then let's go together. " Ling Lan did not reject Zhao Jun. After all, Zhao Jun was already a special-class operator, and the team's logistics team was already more or less filled up. What they needed to add was a professional mecha operator, and Zhao Jun was undoubtedly extremely suitable.
"Oh, okay!" Li Lanfeng replied immediately, decisively agreeing on Zhao Jun's behalf. After all, Zhao Jun would not have a battle team next year, so it would not be a problem for him to hang around with him for a while. Hearing that the rabbit had taken a liking to two other people, he asked, "Who are the other two? Are they also from Mecha World? "
"One is called [No Mecha Unrepaired], from Mecha World. As for the other, I don't know if he has an ID in Mecha World, but he's a prodigy here," replied Ling Lan.
"[No Mecha Unrepaired], this name is so familiar..." Li Lanfeng was taken aback, and then immediately recalled — wasn't this that mecha modification prodigy the Thunder King had taken a liking to? Back then, in order to obtain him, the Thunder King had not hesitated to completely seal off all of the other's resources in Mecha World, causing the other to fail the assessment for two consecutive years. If he had failed one more time, he would have been forced out of the First Men's Military Academy...
"[No Mecha Unrepaired] is from the mecha modification specialization of the First Men's Military Academy..." said Li Lanfeng in a low voice.
"Ah, you've heard of this name too?" Asked Ling Lan in surprise. "Yes, it's that prodigy from the mecha modification specialization of the First Men's Military Academy. He was even oppressed by the Thunder King of the First Men's Military Academy. I coincidentally helped him out and sent him to Suncreed City. I wonder if he would be willing to join my battle clan?"
"So the one who sent him to Suncreed City was you..." Li Lanfeng stared at the mecha before him in astonishment. Mind you, the Thunder King had been extremely enraged by this, but despite exhausting all his manpower and resources, he had still not been able to find the person who had helped [No Mecha Unrepaired]. This had caused the Thunder King to suffer a hidden loss. Li Lanfeng still remembered how his mood had improved for several days after he had found out about this.
Sure enough, his rabbit was his god of luck. Even though they had not acknowledged each other, the rabbit had still helped him viciously torment the Thunder King. Li Lanfeng looked at the intermediate mecha opposite him with a grateful gaze, but this gratitude was something only he knew.
"I think he would be willing to join," said Li Lanfeng with a smile. The rabbit was [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s benefactor — this kinship was already hard for the other to refuse in the first place. Additionally, the rabbit inviting him to join the battle clan was also a form of recognition for him, as well as a form of assistance.
It should be known that although the other factions of the academy all coveted [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s ability to modify mecha, they did not dare to offend the Thunder King. Thus, no battle clan invited [No Mecha Unrepaired] to join their team. Without the assistance of a battle clan, even if he passed the assessment this year and survived this obstacle, it would be very difficult for him to complete those assessment results that required the cooperation of a battle clan in the next few years... the rabbit's invitation was definitely [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s life-saving ladder; there was no way he could refuse.
"I hope it's as you say." Ling Lan felt that it was time for her to establish a battle clan. Even though she could not officially establish a battle clan in the academy, she could still try it out in Mecha World first. This would also allow Zilong and the others to get to know the leopard.
Just like that, Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng agreed on a time to meet again in Mecha World, and then went their separate ways to log off.
The moment Ling Lan logged off, she found that Zilong and the others had returned. She then called them out one by one to solemnly announce that in Mecha World, they would be officially establishing their battle clan — — Lingtian!
There was no helping it. This bunch of brats had long decided to come up with this arrogant name. Otherwise, why would they have come up with [Lingtian XX] the moment they entered Mecha World? If the battle clan was not called this name, this bunch of brats would definitely flip the table in rage!
