Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Han Jijun, Zilong, and the other four pitied Li Shiyu, who currently looked extremely pitiful and innocent, from the bottom of their hearts, they were extremely impressed by Boss's generosity this time, tying Li Shiyu to their chariot.
After all, with such an outstanding military doctor as Li Shiyu in their battle clan, once they entered the battlefield, their lives would have an additional layer of protection. Ling Lan had undoubtedly added a protective talisman for them. At this thought, Zilong and the other four felt even more gratitude and respect for Boss Lan.
As for the other two newbies Boss Lan had mentioned, Zilong and the others were not too sure. They only knew that one of them was a mecha mechanic, while the other was a main battle mecha operator.
When it was almost 13 o'clock, Lin Zhong-qing, who had been observing the situation around him, suddenly shouted in the comms channel, "Stop chatting, Boss is here!"
The few of them who had been chatting animatedly abruptly fell silent. They all turned their heads to look for any sign of their boss. They saw that on their right in front of them, three mecha were rapidly approaching them. Two of them were intermediate mecha, while the other was an advanced mecha.
"One of the two intermediate mecha should be Boss's," added Lin Zhong-qing. Having frequently contacted Boss Lan, he was well aware of the current level of Ling Lan's mecha.
He had barely finished speaking when the three mecha stopped in front of them. The five of them had almost simultaneously received a private message from Ling Lan, inviting them to join her team. After receiving the message, Zilong had immediately dismissed the five of them from their team, and then received an invitation from Ling Lan.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] watched as the names [Lingtian Combat], [Lingtian Abacus], [Lingtian Parcel], [Lingtian Razor], and [Lingtian Substitute] flashed across his screen one by one, joining the [Lingtian First-String] battle clan.
Some time ago, he had still been worrying about his future, because he did not know whether he would be accepted by a battle clan. His grudge with the Thunder King had once caused quite a stir in the mecha world. The capable battle clans who knew about this would probably not be willing to offend the Thunder King, who had some influence in the mecha world, just to accept him.
And if he wanted to successfully graduate from the military academy, he would need to join a certain battle clan, or else he would not be able to complete the relevant courses. Just as he was feeling rather lost about the future, [No Mecha Unrepaired] had unexpectedly contacted him of his own accord, asking him directly if he was interested in joining his team.
This was undoubtedly a life-saving straw — [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s first reaction was to agree. Fortunately, he was still somewhat rational, calming down and beginning to consider the consequences of joining. He could not implicate those who had helped him before, even though [Lingtian First-String] was indeed very strong.
Thus, [No Mecha Unrepaired] asked [Lingtian First-String] why they had invited him to join their battle clan. He even asked if [Lingtian First-String] knew the consequences of inviting him. That would offend the Thunder King's faction, possibly affecting the future development of Lingtian's first-string battle clan.
Unexpectedly, [Lingtian First-String] only replied with four words, "So what?"
This made [No Mecha Unrepaired] feel both touched and speechless. He then asked [Lingtian First-String], did he not want his battle clan to develop? Mind you, being constantly pressured and finding trouble with a powerful faction, even sabotaging all the missions he had accepted, his battle clan would never be able to develop, only able to struggle at death's door under the Thunder King's faction. He believed that this was not an outcome [Lingtian First-String] wanted to see.
Unexpectedly, [Lingtian First-String] did not answer his question, instead asking [No Mecha Unrepaired] if he dared to take a gamble with him once.
[Lingtian First-String] did not say anything like he was not afraid of the Thunder King at all, or that it would be fine as long as he stayed away from the Thunder King's faction. These extremely empty words, he simply asked [No Mecha Unrepaired] if he wanted to take the gamble, proving that he had long considered the serious consequences of inviting [No Mecha Unrepaired] to join his battle clan. This meant that his invitation was not a spur of the moment, but a well-thought-out decision.
Hearing [Lingtian First-String]'s question, [No Mecha Unrepaired] no longer hesitated, agreeing. [No Mecha Unrepaired] still remembered how his tears had flowed uncontrollably when he had agreed. Perhaps going up against the Thunder King's faction alone had already tired his heart out. Now that a friend had suddenly appeared who was willing to support him and fight together with him, it was like a shot of adrenaline to his heart, giving him hope once more. [No Mecha Unrepaired] swore silently that if he and [Lingtian First-String] could really survive this ordeal, he would serve [Lingtian First-String]'s battle clan for the rest of his life. Only a comrade who had gone through thick and thin with him was worthy of his life's dedication.
[No Mecha Unrepaired] knew very well that if he had not been invited by his battle clan, he would only have had two paths in the end. One was to retain his pride and drop out of school in the end, while the other was to lower his proud head, break his proud bones, abandon his pride, and become a subordinate of the Thunder King... of these two paths, he did not want to choose either. [Lingtian First-String]'s invitation was undoubtedly the third path of survival... even though the future was bleak, [No Mecha Unrepaired] was willing to take the gamble for once.
"[No Mecha Unrepaired] will be the future mecha mechanic of our battle clan. In the future, if you have any problems with your mecha, you can look for him directly." Ling Lan pointed at [No Mecha Unrepaired], who was currently deep in thought, and introduced him to the others.
"Ah, you're that [No Mecha Unrepaired] who has been forced into a corner by the Thunder King..." Lingtian's substitute, Xie Yi, was the first to exclaim in surprise.
As the representative of the team for external communication, Xie Yi had always been collecting all the information within the military academy. He was naturally very clear about [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s affairs, and knew [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s real name. However, they were currently just a virtual battle clan in Mecha World, so Xie Yi was not sure whether [No Mecha Unrepaired] was a permanent member or a temporary contracted member. Thus, before Boss Lan directly indicated his identity, he still cautiously referred to [No Mecha Unrepaired] by his real name in Mecha World.
"Ah, you guys know about it too..." said [No Mecha Unrepaired] with a wry smile. He had not expected his affairs to be spread so far and wide.
"Yes, in the newbie village, you've been sealed away for close to three years, unable to successfully take a single step out. Your deeds have been greatly publicized on the official forums of Mecha World before. I saw it by accident," replied Xie Yi with a smile.
"Looks like after almost three years, the Thunder King still has no intention of letting me go," said [No Mecha Unrepaired] with an ugly expression. "I'm very grateful that [Lingtian First-String] invited me to join their battle clan. However, you guys also know that the Thunder King is still unwilling to let me go. Once I join the battle clan, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future. If you guys don't agree, it's still not too late now. "
"Why don't we agree? Whatever Boss has decided, we will of course fully support, "[Lingtian Sharp Blade], Luo Lang, replied immediately.
"[Lingtian First-String] is your boss?" [No Mecha Unrepaired] exclaimed in surprise. He had never expected that [Lingtian First-String], who operated an intermediate mecha like him, would actually be the boss of this batch of advanced mecha warriors. However, [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s surprise quickly faded, because he recalled how [Lingtian First-String] had already been shockingly strong when he had operated the rabbit trainee mecha. Perhaps for some reason, the other had not switched to a better mecha all this time. [No Mecha Unrepaired] began to glorify [Lingtian First-String] endlessly. No one was willing to believe that the powerful [Lingtian First-String] was really just an intermediate mecha warrior in Mecha World...
"This is [Priceless Kinship], our future doctor." Ling Lan pointed at [Priceless Kinship] and said calmly, far less attentive and serious than when she had introduced [No Mecha Unrepaired].
[No Mecha Unrepaired] glanced at [Priceless Kinship], who had remained silent after hearing [Lingtian First-String]'s introduction. Although he had rushed here together with the other, [Lingtian First-String] had not introduced the other to him at the start. And throughout the journey, [Priceless Kinship] had not said a word, appearing rather cold and not easy to get along with. [No Mecha Unrepaired] wondered if the other was also like him, having recently been invited to join the battle clan by [Lingtian First-String], because the other's name was the same as his, not starting with [Lingtian].
In contrast to their enthusiasm towards [No Mecha Unrepaired], after hearing [Lingtian First-String]'s introduction, the five members of [Lingtian Combat] suddenly fell silent. Only then did several low voices of welcome come out of the comms channel, sounding somewhat half-hearted, yet also as if they were dispirited and lacking in confidence. Meanwhile, the final somewhat awkward welcome came from [Lingtian Combat].
"Brother Kinship, I'll leave this little brother's body in your hands. However, please don't let any more accidents happen..." Right after the welcome was a message from [Lingtian Combat]. There was a trace of a bitter smile in his words, as well as a trace of lingering fear. This made [No Mecha Unrepaired] glance curiously at [Priceless Kinship] — could it be that there was some secret behind this?
Hearing [Lingtian Combat]'s words, the initially cold and dull [Priceless Kinship] instantly replied seriously, "I won't make the same mistake twice, please don't worry." Faced with the person he was responsible for, Li Shiyu could no longer maintain his cool, even if he did not particularly like Ling Lan as his team leader.
At this time, [Lingtian Abacus], who was also Han Jijun, seemed to sense that the atmosphere was rather heavy, so he changed the topic to ask, "Boss, didn't you say that there were three newcomers? Where's the other one?"
Ling Lan replied, "I've already informed him to hurry over."
She had just finished speaking when they saw an advanced mecha flying over at high speed, and then suddenly coming to a stop right in front of them — there was actually no sign of sliding. This action completely proved that the other's control skills were extremely impressive, causing the eyes of Zilong, Luo Lang, and the others to light up. With a single glance, they could tell that the other's control skills were definitely top-notch. In particular, Zilong's heart was burning with a fighting spirit, really wanting to fight the other right now to see who was stronger.
Everyone in the team very quickly saw a notification appear on the screens of their mecha: [Self-Defined Destiny] has joined the Lingtian team.
"[Self-Defined Destiny], another member of our battle clan. Mecha operator, classified as a combat member," introduced Ling Lan. Everyone greeted [Self-Defined Destiny] warmly. Only Han Jijun raised an eyebrow slightly as he greeted him, because he felt that when his boss had introduced [Self-Defined Destiny], even though his tone had been as calm as ever, he had still heard something different. This made Han Jijun take [Self-Defined Destiny] more seriously.
When [Self-Defined Destiny] saw the five names that started with the same name as [Lingtian First-String], he knew that these five must be the most permanent members of the Lingtian Battle Clan, and so quickly greeted them warmly. Towards [No Mecha Unrepaired] and [Priceless Kinship], [Self-Defined Destiny] did not slight them either. Since he wanted to truly integrate into the Lingtian Battle Clan, he would need to establish a good relationship with every member. Li Lanfeng did not dare to slack off in this regard.
