At their first meeting, Zilong's group of five, as well as [No Mecha Unrepaired], all felt that [Self-Defined Destiny] was not a bad person. His attitude was gentle, like a spring breeze. Only Priceless Kinship, that is, Li Shiyu, was a little confused. This was because the other's aura gave him a sense of familiarity and intimacy, just like the feeling Li Lanfeng had given him back then...
Li Shiyu could not help but shake his head, laughing internally at himself for being too sensitive. Perhaps this person was just like Li Lanfeng, a person with an extremely good temper, which was why he felt so similar... Li Shiyu knew that the reason he was so sensitive to this aura was because his eldest cousin brother also had this aura. However, his eldest cousin brother could not possibly become a mecha warrior in the real world like Li Lanfeng, and similarly could not enter Mecha World and become an advanced mecha warrior like [Self-Defined Destiny].
Although Mecha World was a virtual world, its advancement was still linked to the physical condition of the user in the real world. If one's physical body in the real world did not meet the requirements for advancement, then in the virtual world, one would similarly not be able to advance successfully.
Thus, Li Shiyu had never considered the possibility that his eldest cousin brother could enter Mecha World and become an advanced mecha warrior. This sort of habitual thinking of his caused him to miss the initial opportunity to discover the truth. Only many years later did he realise that he had actually already come into contact with the truth from the very beginning, but had just been ignored by him.
After the group got to know each other, Ling Lan led them towards the city lord's manor of Grandsweep City. That was the place to accept missions to establish a battle clan. Ling Lan wanted to complete this mission today.
In the square, all the individual mecha operators watched this group of people run towards the city lord's manor. They were pretty much certain that they were going to establish a battle clan, and could not help but sigh... why couldn't they be one of the members?
One of the mecha operators who could not bear to see others doing well could not help but curse silently, "I hope they're unlucky and don't get any missions..."
In the Mecha World, missions to establish battle clans were not so easy to accept. Currently, the sources of missions announced on the official forums were truly strange and bizarre, each one different from the other. Some received missions directly from the City Lord, while others received missions from the City Lord's Mansion's General Office. There was even a battle group that received missions from an old man in the City Lord's Mansion. There was even a battle group that came multiple times but still couldn't receive a mission … … Not only that, there were also differences in difficulty in accepting missions. Some battle groups were extremely lucky, and the mission was super easy. It was very possible that you could receive a Team Creation Token by sending a letter, thus successfully establishing a battle group. However, there were other battle groups that were filled with difficulties, and even after being wiped multiple times, they still might not be able to complete the mission.
As a result, the individual players who didn't have a Battle Team couldn't help but express such resentment, hoping that these Battle Teams who had the qualifications to form a Battle Team would fail the mission.
After conversing with the mecha operators guarding the gates of the city lord's manor, Ling Lan found out that only the team leader could enter to accept the mission. Thus, she asked them to wait for her at the gates of the city lord's manor, and then spoke to the mecha operators again to choose the mission to establish a battle clan. In the next second, she was transported to the city lord's manor. Once she entered the city lord's manor, she would automatically separate from her mecha and appear in her original form. Otherwise, the tall mecha would definitely flatten the city lord's manor.
The location of the teleportation was random, just like how accepting a mission was also random. Ling Lan arrived at a corridor, and this made Ling Lan frown involuntarily. It should be known that the best way to teleport to the City Lord's Manor would be to teleport to the main hall. That way, finding the General Office or the City Lord's office would be much more convenient, and the success rate of accepting a mission would be much higher. However, it was hard to say for the corridor, because you didn't know which exit you would choose. This was completely a matter of luck.
But was it really just a matter of luck? Ling Lan did not rush to look for an exit, but instead stood where she was, thinking calmly for a moment.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many restrictions when establishing a battle clan. After all, establishing a battle clan would allow individual mecha operators to be grouped together, greatly cultivating cooperation and rapport between mecha operators, and also allowing mecha operators to unleash their potential. It could be said that this sort of pre-established battle clan model would obviously lack the adjustment period that new recruits should have when they entered an army division. In an extremely short amount of time, they would be able to form an extremely high combat strength.
Without a doubt, this was an extremely excellent model where everyone was a soldier. At a critical moment, a normal citizen could be completely transformed into an extremely powerful veteran, and even have the ability to cooperate with a battle clan.
But why did such a good model have so many restrictions? Even if it's just a quest, it's still so unpredictable? Ling Lan could not help but think back to the related examinations when she had first enrolled in the scout academies and military academies. A thought flashed through her mind — was this also a type of examination? It was just that this time, the examinees were them, the team leaders... what the Federation needed were excellent team leaders who could lead their team members to grow together, and not those incompetent team leaders who were just there to make up the numbers and ruin the future of their team members?
Thinking about it this way, it also made sense why there were so many restrictions when establishing a battle clan in Mecha World. Ling Lan even thought that those team leaders who had not been able to accept a mission were actually not unlucky on the surface. Rather, after entering the city lord's manor, their choices and actions had been judged by the mainframe of Mecha World as unsuitable to be a team leader, and thus they had lost the right to accept a mission?
In other words, from the moment they entered the city lord's manor, the assessment for team leaders had already begun!
At this thought, Ling Lan could not help but feel exasperated. Just how much did this world love to conduct assessments in secret? Even if it was just playing a game, there was no way to escape this hurdle... having come to this conclusion, Ling Lan naturally raised her guard 120%. After all, this concerned the establishment of her own battle clan. Even if she did not do it for herself, she had to be responsible for those followers and friends of hers.
"Little Four, split the corridor into various small images. Don't miss a single corner. I need to understand everything here." Ling Lan finally opened her mouth to instruct Little Four.
Without another word, Little Four immediately split the image of the corridor into countless images and then placed them on the screen of Ling Lan's mecha. Ling Lan began to click on the first image one by one to study it. Not long after, she had finished looking at all the images.
However, Ling Lan's brow furrowed tighter and tighter because she could not see anything out of the ordinary. It should be said that the corridor was absolutely normal. There were only two exits — one was behind Ling Lan and was probably the entrance, while the other was at the end of the corridor and should be the exit...
Could it be that I'm thinking too much? Ling Lan could not help but think to herself. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she abruptly selected one of the images. It was a corner of the corridor, and beside it was a large garden. Inside, a gardener was hard at work.
For such a person to appear out of nowhere in the garden while she was accepting a mission … Ling Lan felt that there was something very wrong with this.
"Little Four, check this gardener carefully for me." Ling Lan pointed at the sweaty gardener in the image and instructed Little Four.
Little Four immediately obeyed and began to turn the gardener's existence inside out. In the end, he returned with a face full of excitement, his eyes shining as he looked at Ling Lan and said admiringly, "Boss, it's just as you expected. This person is very problematic." If his boss had not sensed that something was off, Little Four, who had not taken the initiative to investigate, would have missed the chance to find out the truth.
Ling Lan heard Little Four's reply and her eyes instantly lit up. "It's good that there's a problem. Who exactly is he?"
"He's not a gardener. He's the master of this city lord's manor, the city lord of Grandsweep, Luo Yixuan," replied Little Four proudly. As long as he wanted to investigate, no matter how the mainframe of Mecha World tried to hide it, it would not be able to escape his keen eyes, Little Four.
"In that case, the mission to establish a battle clan is on him." The corners of Ling Lan's lips quirked slightly. She had really gotten it without any effort — her luck was really quite good. However, the mainframe of Mecha World was very despicable, actually making a city lord disguise himself as a gardener. If she had not studied the corridor carefully, she might have walked all the way to the end and gone somewhere unknown, and it was very likely that she would not have been able to receive the mission.
"He appeared on the path Boss must pass to accept the mission, and he's also the head of this area. It's probably most likely the case." Little Four also agreed with Ling Lan's judgement, believing that the mission must be on the city lord.
Since she had found her target, Ling Lan walked directly to the gardener's side, and waited quietly for the gardener to finish his work. Ling Lan's patience was very good, and besides, she believed that when others were working, it was best not to disturb them. ,
After the gardener finished planting the sapling in his hands, he was just about to take out another sapling when he was given a fright by Ling Lan standing behind him. His expression changed, and he pointed at Ling Lan and asked angrily, "Hey, why are you standing behind me? Don't you know that this is very scary? "
"Scary? If it were a normal gardener, perhaps it would be possible, but are you really a normal gardener? "said Ling Lan calmly. Paired with that cold expression of hers, her attitude could not be considered good. However, Ling Lan did not know this at this moment, because no matter who she spoke to, her attitude was always like this.
"If I'm not a normal gardener, who else can I be? You arrogant brat, I will definitely tell the city lord to kick you out … "Ling Lan's impolite expression and words made the gardener instantly angry.
Ling Lan heard this, raised her eyebrows, and said with a slight smile, "Aren't you the city lord?" Ling Lan's expression was clearly mocking in the gardener's eyes, as if to say, is there any point in playing this idiotic game?
The gardener's expression immediately became extremely ugly, and he was angry in his heart. Damn, this brat is too arrogant, he actually dares to mock me, he doesn't know how to respect his elders at all … Thus, his impression of Ling Lan dropped from normal to negative.
Poor Ling Lan had long been used to putting on a cold face. In fact, that slight curve was forced out by Ling Lan, in hopes that the city lord would have a better impression of her, and that he would be willing to give her the task, and that it would not be too difficult. However, her painstaking efforts were in vain. Sometimes, when you want to do something well, in reality, the more you do, the worse it gets, just like Ling Lan at this moment.
The gardener did not seem to want to give Ling Lan the task. Even though Ling Lan had already exposed his true identity, he still pretended not to hear, and only asked Ling Lan to leave the garden and not disturb his work.
