The examiner, who had fallen to the ground, reacted quickly. With a flip, he stood up straight.
Although Ling Lan's attack seemed to be very powerful and sent the examiner flying, in reality, it didn't cause much damage to the examiner. It only left a bruise on the examiner's left cheek. Of course, Ling Lan's original intention was to prove that they were not easy to bully.
The examiner stood there motionless, but his face was frosty. He reached out to touch the bruise. He didn't feel any pain, but there was an indescribable pain in his heart.
Yes, it was a kind of anger, a feeling of disappointment. He was not angry because Ling Lan had hit him, but because of the ruthlessness and selfishness that Ling Lan had displayed in the attack just now, which made him feel disappointed and pained.
The examiner hadn't expected this child, who was outstanding in all aspects, to be so cold-blooded. In order to achieve his goal, he would use his companion as a shield. Although he was at a loss for what to do, his eyes had clearly seen why Zilong had suddenly stood in front of Ling Lan. It wasn't Zilong's spontaneous action, but Ling Lan had pulled Zilong in front of him.
To make matters worse, after the incident, Ling Lan actually showed no concern for his comrades' injuries, only focusing on his own results. This kind of selfish behaviour finally angered the examiner, who decided to deny Ling Lan the chance to enter the special classes. The Federation definitely could not nurture such a cold-blooded, selfish child. Even if he became a soldier, he would bring harm to the Federation and the comrades by his side.
Before the examiner could reprimand him, the following scene stunned him.
Ling Lan walked over to the unconscious Zilong, who was lying on the ground and vomiting blood. She kicked Zilong's body hard and said helplessly, "Okay, it's all settled. Why aren't you getting up? Don't you think you've overdone it? "
Qi Long sat up abruptly, a silly grin on his face as he said, "You really knocked him out?" As he spoke, blood could be seen rolling around in his mouth. It was a ghastly sight.
Ling Lan said proudly, "Of course, don't you know who I am?" When it was time to be childish, she had to continue being childish. Ling Lan knew that she had gone overboard, so she could only try her best to salvage the situation.
Qi Long nodded repeatedly, his face full of admiration as he said, "Yes, Ling Lan, as expected, you're better than me." Then, with a face full of praise, he said, "Didn't I act very well?"
Ling Lan didn't have much sincerity. She nodded perfunctorily and even patted Zilong's head to express her praise.
Okay, Zilong's behavior reminded her of the loyal dog companions of humans from ten thousand years ago. That tsundere look was so adorable that she couldn't help but stroke him to satisfy her cravings.
The carefree Zilong did not know that he was being taken advantage of by Ling Lan, nor did he know that his image in Ling Lan's heart had been directly compared to cuteness. Having received her praise, he climbed up happily, of course not forgetting to use his tongue to lick the blood from the corner of his mouth. He smacked his lips a few times and said with some regret, "What a pity that I wasted so much food energy fluid. The taste is really good. I've never eaten such delicious energy fluid."
Ling Lan rolled her eyes inwardly and thought to herself, Of course it was delicious. That was the tomato-flavoured food energy fluid she had painstakingly researched. How could it compare to the food energy fluid of the past? Speaking of the taste of the past, Ling Lan couldn't help but shudder. That taste really wasn't meant for humans. She reckoned that even cats and dogs wouldn't have liked it ten thousand years ago.
Ling Lan wasn't someone who would let herself be wronged. Since she couldn't accept it, she could only change the taste herself. Fortunately, with Little Four's help, she was finally able to research several fruit and vegetable flavoured energy fluids. The tomato-flavoured energy fluid was one of them.
Why did she give Zilong this flavour? That was because the colour of the flavour was also like a tomato. It was very red, and it was very easy for people to mistake it as blood. This made it more vivid for Zilong to pretend to be injured.
Seeing that Zilong was still alive and kicking, Han Jijun's expression finally returned to normal. With a puzzled expression, he asked, "What on earth is going on?" Just now, Zilong had really looked like he was seriously injured, which had made him very flustered.
Han Jijun asked the question that had been on the examiner's mind. However, even if he didn't know the details, he knew that he must have fallen into the trap of these two brats before him. Who would have thought that the battle-hardened examiner would fail miserably at such an easy task and be tricked by two little kids?
However, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. This kid before him whom he valued the most, who was the most capable, wasn't as bad as he thought …
Hearing Han Jijun's question, Zilong hurriedly explained, "Ling Lan took me away when I was sent flying by the examiner. At that time, she took the opportunity to pass me the energy fluid. When her back was facing the examiner, she hinted that I should put on an act and use that to pretend to be injured."
Zilong grinned as he rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed that he had caused everyone to worry. "So, when the examiner hit me, I pretended to be injured and fell unconscious."
The examiner looked thoughtfully at Ling Lan, and suddenly said sternly, "Aren't you afraid of making a mistake? If I hadn't stopped in time, your plan could have easily injured Zilong, and even ruined his future. "
Ling Lan asked uncomprehendingly, "Examiner, could you have failed?" In other words, she had complete confidence that the examiner would be able to control himself.
Zilong continued to grin foolishly, the trust on his face unchanged. Han Jijun seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze on Ling Lan was a little unreadable. There was admiration, and also a little anger, but it quickly returned to normal.
Ling Lan's words made the examiner extremely angry, but he had nothing to say in rebuttal. He found that he actually couldn't do anything about this rascal before him. He couldn't help but admit that Ling Lan was right — he really wouldn't have failed. If it hadn't been for the fact that Zilong had spat out blood so realistically, it would have shaken his resolve and caused him to doubt himself. In the end, it was still his own lack of confidence.
The examiner smiled wryly. Ling Lan had actually allowed him to see his hidden weakness — he really couldn't be underestimated.
This kid was truly aberrant. Not only was he bold, he was also meticulous, and even had the guts to take risks. Even more frightening was his ability to make others trust him instantly. That was why Zilong and Luo Lang, who had left earlier, had entrusted their trust to Ling Lan without even asking.
In the end, Ling Lan had even used a scheme to make the examiner reveal a weakness... he had long known that the examiner wouldn't hurt them, so as soon as someone got hurt, the examiner would definitely panic, and a flaw would appear.
The examiner shook his head and sighed. Children these days were really hard to deceive. He said exasperatedly, "This time, you all pass the test!"
The examiner's words made all the children jump in joy. This meant that they had already entered the scout academy to study. Of course, as for whether they would be able to enter the special classes, that would depend on the final score given by all the examiners. Based on the total score of the four tests, the top 100 would be able to enter the special classes.
The examiner ignored the joy of the children before him, turning on his communicator and pressing the test completion button.
