Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Yu's good mood was restored when he saw Ling Lan staring curiously at the particle laser pistol at his waist. He pulled out his pistol smugly and handed it to Ling Lan, saying, "Do you like it? This is a particle laser pistol. Although it's not as powerful as those submachine guns, it's still enough to take out people without protective clothing. "
Ling Lan's eyes shone brightly as she accepted the pistol excitedly. She lowered her head to study it, curious as to how the laser gun was made.
Ling Hua's lips curled into a smile. At this moment, Ling Lan had returned to being a normal child, curious about things she had never seen before.
Only Ling Qin gave Ling Lan a strange look. Mind you, Ling Lan had already played with this kind of thing before, so why was she acting like this? However, he didn't say anything. He believed that Ling Lan must have her reasons for doing this, so he decided to wait patiently for the final answer to be revealed.
Seeing Ling Lan playing with the pistol clumsily, Ling Yu reminded her anxiously, "Don't open that safety lock. There's a switch there — pressing it will cause trouble."
Ling Lan gave Ling Yu a reproachful look, as if angry at his lack of trust in her. However, she quickly returned to playing with the laser pistol in her hands. After a while, she had enough fun and lost interest. Just as she was about to return the laser pistol to Ling Yu, she inadvertently noticed that the pistol at Ling Hua's waist was different from the one in her hands. Confused, she asked Ling Hua, "Why is your laser pistol different from this one?" Ling Lan waved the laser pistol in her hands.
Ling Hua replied with a wide smile, "That's because the team leader's weapon is different from the team members'."
"Oh? Is that so? Can I see your pistol? "Ling Lan's eyes shone with curiosity, as if she wanted to know what was the difference between the team leader's and the team members' pistols.
Ling Hua hesitated for a moment, but finally pulled out the laser pistol at his waist and handed it to Ling Lan. Of course, he didn't forget to remind her, "Don't open the safety lock. This pistol is four to five times more powerful than a normal laser pistol, and is no weaker than those submachine guns. Young Master Lan, you mustn't hurt yourself."
Ling Lan nodded obediently. She couldn't refuse other people's good intentions. He took the obviously bigger pistol and put the two pistols side by side to compare. In fact, the appearance of the two pistols was about the same. The only difference was that the part where the energy storage was inserted and the barrel was thicker than a normal laser pistol.
Ling Lan played with the two pistols in her hands. Just when Ling Hua and Ling Yu thought that Ling Lan was going to return the pistols, Ling Lan's next action made their eyes twitch violently. They never would have thought that their Young Master Lan would be so shameless, putting the two handguns directly into her protective suit so openly and even patting it in satisfaction. That expression and that action clearly told them that she had confiscated the two laser handguns and made them part of her collection.
Ling Hua smiled helplessly. He looked towards Ling Qin, hoping that Chamberlain Ling Qin would ask Young Master Lan to return the laser handguns. After all, these were their standard weapons and couldn't be left out.
Ling Qin was just about to speak up to dissuade Ling Lan when he saw Ling Lan's gaze sweep over him. That gaze was resolute and a little sharp, making his heart skip a beat. He immediately changed his approach, instead hinting to Ling Hua and the others to satisfy Young Master Lan's curiosity. As for their weapons, they would have the logistics department replenish them when they returned to the Ling family.
Ling Hua and Ling Yu helplessly pretended not to see anything, while Ling Lan's face was full of satisfaction. The group quickly left the wasteland and returned to the landing point of Ling Hua and Ling Yu's mecha. Ling Lan's eyes were filled with the two tall mecha. They were standing majestically on the ground, looking down at Ling Lan and the others. Ling Lan felt that she was very fragile before these two mecha, as if she could be easily crushed by the mecha. The impact was too great. She couldn't help but look excited, as if she had seen her favourite toy. ‘
Actually, Ling Lan wasn't as fond of mecha as she appeared to be. However, the cool mecha she had only seen in cartoons in her past life were now real and appearing before her eyes. She felt like she was dreaming. For a moment, she couldn't tell if she was in her past life or this one, and so Ling Lan couldn't maintain her calm expression.
"These are our Ling family's mecha? So awesome! "Ling Lan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Ling Hua smiled. He remembered the first time he had seen a mecha — he had also been as excited as Ling Lan.
Lingyu was even more pleased with himself. He said proudly, "Of course, but private mecha can only be these standard mecha that are circulated to the outside world. If I can join the military, perhaps I can get a better mecha. If I can become an ace operator, I can even freely change the colour of my mecha... I really want to dye it to my favourite red..."
"Stop daydreaming. We don't even have the chance to change to a captain-level mecha." For the first time, Ling Hua showed his regret. Every mecha operator wanted to operate the most powerful mecha they could operate, to fly freely in this part of the universe, to be able to slay all the enemies in front of them, to be able to enter and exit with a domineering air.
Unfortunately, mecha were still classified as prohibited weapons in the Federation. Even if a family clan had the right to own a private mecha, they could only get the most basic standard mecha from the Federation.
Having his dream shattered by his own captain, Ling Yu could only sigh. As the family's loyalists, their path to joining the military had been cut off.
Ling Lan was completely oblivious to Ling Hua and Ling Yu's actions. She walked forward with an intoxicated expression and touched the parts of the mecha she could touch. It was very cold — it was the kind of metal outer shell she had imagined. It was indeed real.
Not only did she touch one mecha, she also touched another. Her somewhat perverted actions made Ling Hua and Ling Yu shiver all over, feeling as if they were being toyed with. It couldn't be helped — every mecha operator loved their own mecha very much, as if they loved their own body. That was why the two of them had this misconception.
Right then, a loud roar came from the sky. Ling Lan raised her head and saw three mecha hovering in the air about 100 metres away from her, each on guard in the direction they were in charge of.
Ling Hua walked to her side and asked, "Young Master Lan, would you like to see the flying movements of a mecha up close?"
Ling Qin frowned. At this time, was it really appropriate for a mecha to do something to please a child? After all, they were still not sure if they were safe.
Seeing this, Ling Hua explained, "The military personnel came with us and are now guarding our perimeter. It was only because we ran into them that we were able to escape danger."
Ling Lan looked at Ling Qin expectantly, making it impossible for Ling Qin to reject her any further. Fine, just take it as a form of compensation. This time, Ling Lan had almost lost her life — it was only right for her to be happy. Thus, Ling Qin nodded in agreement.
Ling Lan saw Ling Hua wink at her, and she immediately smiled. It looked like Ling Hua had purposely arranged this to make her happy.
Ling Hua immediately connected to the communicator on his wrist and said, "Ling Ze, you guys come down a little. Let Young Master Lan see your heroics. Make sure to perform well!" Ling Hua's words had a double meaning, telling his team members not to just fly one round — it would be best if they could do a few fancy moves. Children loved to see this kind of thing.
"Yes!" Ling Ze understood tacitly.
The three mecha turned on their nuclear engines and began to spin in the air above Ling Lan. Then, the three mecha began to perform all sorts of basic flying movements, as well as various combat stances. Ling Lan watched on excitedly from below, clapping her hands and jumping up and down.
After completing a series of extremely fancy moves, the three mecha suddenly plummeted downwards, causing Ling Lan to cry out in fright. Then, they came to a sudden stop, causing Ling Lan to laugh heartily.
Seeing this, Ling Qin's eyes instantly moistened. Ling Lan's usual precociousness had almost made him forget that Ling Lan was just a 6 year old child. She should have been this innocent and happy, but unfortunately, due to the untimely death of family head Ling Xiao, she had no choice but to shoulder the great mountain that was the Ling family on her shoulders. Thus, he had no choice but to force Ling Lan to grow up...
Meanwhile, the things that should have been done by the father were now being done by the Ling family loyalists. If only the mecha flying above were the IN mecha of Ling Xiao's family, how wonderful would that be?
The three mecha finally completed their performance and began to descend. In order not to cause too much vibration to the ground, the engines had been turned to anti-gravity. The mecha slowly descended, and the powerful thrust from the engines caused Ling Lan, who was closest to the mecha, to lose her footing. Just as she was about to fall, Ling Hua reacted the quickest. His hand caught Ling Lan firmly, preventing Ling Lan from moving.
Ling Lan's lowered face flashed with anger. Wasn't Ling Hua's grip a little too strong?!
Ling Lan's eyes were cold, and the movements of her limbs, waist, and abdomen began to change...
The mecha drew closer and closer. Ling Lan lifted her small face with difficulty. From Ling Hua's height, he could see the expression on Ling Lan's face. Ling Lan was jumping with excitement, completely oblivious to what was about to happen to her.
A trace of pity and pity flashed through Ling Hua's eyes...
Right at that moment, the three mecha that had just steadied themselves suddenly extended their right arms at the same time, aiming their lightspeed guns at Ling Lan. Before anyone could react, Ling Hua, who was still holding onto Ling Lan, suddenly lifted Ling Lan into the air and flung her upwards...
Flying over Ling Hua's head, Ling Lan could clearly see that behind Ling Hua, Ling Qin was pouncing towards her with a face full of fear. Meanwhile, on the other side, an enraged Ling Yu was also charging over.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Of the three mecha that had been aiming at Ling Lan, two of the mecha suddenly changed the direction of their lightspeed guns to aim at Ling Qin and Ling Yu respectively...
In the blink of an eye, a decisive chokehold was executed!
Ling Lan's right arm twisted at a strange angle in a manner that defied the limits of physics, locking onto Ling Hua's throat. Meanwhile, she used the force of the chokehold to flip her body in mid-air, hiding behind Ling Hua's body. At the same time, a laser pistol appeared in Ling Lan's left hand, which was pressed viciously against the side of Ling Hua's head.
"Don't move!" Ling Lan's stern shout made the three mecha stop in their tracks — they were just a hair's breadth away from pulling the trigger.
Caught in the crossfire, Ling Hua's expression finally changed. With an embarrassed expression, he asked, "Where exactly did we slip up, Young Master Lan?"
Ling Lan said calmly, "From the very beginning."
"Hm?" Ling Hua didn't understand.
"From the moment you all delayed the rescue, I had already suspected you all. When you all came back unscathed, I was sure." Ling Lan had never trusted the Ling family's mecha battle team.
