Ling Lan explained with an indifferent expression. This display of having everything under control once again made the battle clan members sigh in admiration. As expected of their Boss Lan — nothing could be hidden from him.
Chang Xinyuan nodded wholeheartedly, "Boss Lan, you're right. I have indeed successfully modified the ace mecha. I came here today to tell you this news. I want you to go online to control it and conduct a data check to make the final adjustments to the mecha." At this point, Chang Xinyuan scratched his head shyly, feeling embarrassed. "Although I feel that my modification was successful, without the feedback from the operator, I can't be 100% sure whether my modification can be considered a success."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go up and take a look." Zilong was the first to jump up in excitement. This was the first modified ace mecha he had seen — it was really too exciting.
Zilong's words received everyone's agreement. At this time, Lin Zhong-qing, Xie Yi and Luo Lang finally brought everyone's food up. Before they could put down the food, they saw everyone pouncing on them like hungry wolves.
Before the three of them could react, the food in their hands was snatched clean in the next second, leaving only the large trays in their hands. They looked at each other in shock, their eyes full of confusion. It had only been a few minutes, and their companions were already hungry to this extent?
Actually, the members who knew the truth did not want to waste time eating here. If not for the fact that they needed to eat lunch to replenish their energy, they would have long left the canteen and returned to their respective dorms to log into the virtual world...
Even though he was eating very quickly, Han Jijun, who had to maintain his elegant demeanor, looked at the three people standing dazedly at the doorway and sighed softly in his heart. He said, "Hurry up and eat. When we log into the virtual world later, there will be a big surprise."
Zilong, who was sitting beside Han Jijun, quickly raised his head and nodded vigorously at Lin Zhong-qing, Luo Lang, and Xie Yi to show that his best friend was right. His gaze was clearly telling them not to regret it if they missed this opportunity.
Although Lin Zhong-qing didn't know what Han Jijun's surprise was, he knew that for his companions to become like this, it was definitely not a small surprise. Thus, he threw a look at Xie Yi and Luo Lang, and without any hesitation, he turned into a hungry wolf and joined the fight for food.
In less than three minutes, everyone had finished their lunch. Compared to the others who were in a sorry state, Ling Lan was the calmest of them all. However, she was the one who acted the quickest, so she was definitely the one who ate the most out of everyone... this caused the eyes of all the team members to emit an extremely sorrowful gaze. Boss, when are you going to share this ultimate move with us? Speaking of which, they were still not full yet...
Very soon, the members of the battle clan gathered at the headquarters of the Lingtian Battle Clan in Mecha World as fast as they could. Because they had completed the SSS-rank mission, the Lingtian Battle Clan now had their own base. Meanwhile, in order to nurture Chang Xinyuan, Ling Lan had spent a large amount of money and resources to build a mecha modification research institute for Chang Xinyuan in the camp.
The moment everyone entered the research institute, they automatically left their respective mecha. In the spacious research institute, even though there were suddenly 10 more people, no one would feel crowded. Before everyone could be shocked by the huge space of the research institute, their attention was drawn to the majestic mecha standing in the centre of the research institute...
The colour of this mecha was still the metallic colour of mecha. Because Ling Lan had originally chosen a close-combat mecha, Chang Xinyuan's modifications had also focused on close-combat. The entire mecha's appearance had become extremely fierce. Unlike the elegant and slender figures of ace mecha, this mecha had broken away from this aspect and instead pursued a kind of extreme savagery. This was especially true for the mecha's two arms, which were noticeably thicker.
"F * * k, this shape, it's so strong. I like it." The moment Zilong saw it, he was mesmerized by this mecha. His eyes shone with red hearts as he ran up to the mecha uncontrollably. As if caressing the body of his beloved woman, he carefully stroked the mecha. The intoxicated expression on his face caused the others to involuntarily feel goosebumps rise all over their bodies.
Zilong, who had always followed Ling Lan, had also inherited Ling Lan's style in terms of mecha combat operations, pursuing thrilling and dangerous close-combat attacks. Thus, he had no resistance at all against this type of fierce mecha which represented close-combat.
Zhao Jun's expression was almost identical to Zilong's. If not for the fact that he had only joined the team recently, the number of people who would be molesting the mecha would probably have increased by one. Luckily, in order to leave a good impression on his team leader, he had restrained himself. Of course, it must be mentioned here that the main contributor to Zhao Jun's timely realisation and not making any mistakes was Li Lanfeng's kick, which had almost broken the bones in Zhao Jun's instep.
The others also showed envious expressions, such as Luo Lang. However, despite Luo Lang's envy, he was not as agitated as Zilong and Zhao Jun. This was because he knew that he had no affinity with close-combat mecha. He knew his own body well — although he looked like Boss Ling Lan with a slender build, in terms of strength, he was clearly much weaker than his boss. If not for the fact that he still had Li Lanfeng at the bottom, he would have suspected that his own physique would be affected by the fact that he was a twin...
Seeing everyone in the battle clan mesmerized by his modifications, Chang Xinyuan was incomparably excited. He said to Ling Lan, "Boss Lan, because I don't know what colour you like, I didn't colour the outer shell of the mecha. Now, I'm just waiting for your instructions. What colour do you want me to put on it, or what colour do you want me to put on it? "
Ling Lan was currently studying the outer shell of the mecha. Sure enough, the outer shell of a modified mecha was very different from that of an ace mecha. If Chang Xinyuan had not said that this mecha was modified from her ace mecha, she probably would not have been able to determine the level of this mecha at first glance. Now, hearing Chang Xinyuan's question, her mind moved, and she said, "Black will do."
"Black?" Ling Lan's words caused the other members of the battle clan to exclaim involuntarily. Even Chang Xinyuan was astounded. Mind you, the Federation's military had stipulated that black was the specific colour of special-class mecha. Generally, when modified mecha were not special-class mecha, this colour would be avoided and some other colour would be chosen instead.
"Isn't that very interesting? Since no one thinks that an ace mecha can be modified, then we'll just use the colour of a special-class mecha and let the people of Leiting misunderstand that it's a special-class mecha. " Ling Lan replied coldly. Her calm and collected demeanour made it seem as if she did not know how treacherous and cunning her words were. She was obviously trying to trick people …
"As expected, it's a good idea." Li Lanfeng was the first to jump out to express his agreement. This fellow had always been a black-bellied person who liked to backstab others, and Ling Lan's decision was obviously to trick that Qiao Ting. Naturally, he would raise both hands and feet in agreement.
Actually, Ling Lan's words were very clear. None of the members of the battle clan were slow-witted people; their eyes all lit up. Although Chang Xinyuan was focused on his research and was more simple-minded than the others, he could still understand Ling Lan's obvious meaning. Additionally, he had suffered so much at the hands of the Thunder King, so finding that his modified mecha could play a trick on the Thunder King made him excited. He replied loudly, "Got it, Boss Lan. Watch me. I definitely won't let the other party suspect that this mecha isn't a special-class mecha." Excited, he immediately went to his experiment bench and began to adjust the colours …
The others surrounded Chang Xinyuan with interest, enthusiastically making suggestions here and there to make this mecha look more like a special-class mecha. They did not care whether their nonsense would cause Chang Xinyuan any trouble or not.
Ling Lan saw the excitement on everyone's faces, their eagerness to give it a try, and once again sighed at how the Thunder King was so unpopular. So many people wanted to trick him — as expected, being too arrogant would not end well …
Only Zhao Jun did not crowd around. He glanced at Boss Lan, who was standing calmly to one side, and then at Li Lanfeng, who was eagerly helping Chang Xinyuan with his work, his face full of scheming. He now understood why Li Lanfeng had wanted him to join Boss Lan's battle clan. Hells, these two people were all cut from the same cloth. The difference was that Li Lanfeng was outwardly sinister and cunning, while Boss Lan was the true black-bellied expert among experts … at this moment, Zhao Jun deeply understood that this seemingly cold and aloof Boss Lan was definitely not someone he could offend.
Chang Xinyuan's grasp of all aspects of mecha was very thorough. Even though there were so many inept strategists interfering with his work, in less than 20 minutes, he was still able to adjust the black dye used by special-class operators, and could only take final shape.
Putting down the work at hand, Chang Xinyuan asked Ling Lan to get on the mecha and make adjustments to its controls. After half a day, Ling Lan basically had a preliminary understanding of this modified mecha.
This mecha had almost abandoned all of its long-range capabilities, only retaining its basic long-range weapons. However, its close-combat capabilities had been enhanced, and the strength of its arms had been increased by 1.5 times compared to its original strength. Don't underestimate this tiny 0.5 — in a close-combat battle, if the opponent really thought it was a special-class mecha, or if they knew the truth but were not prepared, this extra 0.5 would definitely be able to knock the opponent's weapon out of their hands. At that time, would a weaponless mecha still be a match? This would pretty much determine the final victory.
Not only that, the mecha's movement capabilities had also undergone a breakthrough improvement. Although its exterior was brutish and tough, the mecha's movement and adaptability had become much more agile than other ace mecha, even surpassing the most agile speed-type ace mecha. Ling Lan found that, other than the mecha's essential main engine and two auxiliary engines, Chang Xinyuan had also added a row of miniature auxiliary engines at the back of the mecha. Although the power of these engines was very small, they could help the mecha make minute adjustments during rapid movement.
Previously, someone had proposed a related design, but because they did not have a qualified miniature auxiliary engine, they had been forced to stop their research. After Chang Xinyuan's triple-S modification mission was completed, the most valuable reward had been this legendary miniature auxiliary engine. It had allowed him to successfully improve the movement capabilities of the close-combat mecha once more and make them more refined. This would undoubtedly allow Ling Lan to design countless extremely difficult mecha combination movements on this mecha, perhaps even more powerful combination attacks.
