Senior Colonel Mi brought Ling Lan into the combat hall and asked Ling Lan to choose the mecha combat arena. Ling Lan chose the mecha combat arena and the mecha selection page appeared in front of her. Currently, Ling Lan had gathered five different types of ace mechas in the virtual world. They were the King of Close Combat, King of Long Range Sniping, King of All Versatility, King of Beast Ground Combat and King of Artillery Space.
She looked at the five ace mechas and thought for a moment. In the end, she chose the King of All Versatility.
Major General Mi, who had already boarded his mecha, saw a balanced ace mecha landing on Ling Lan's position. He knew that Ling Lan had made her choice.
After waiting for some time, Ling Lan received a message from Senior Colonel Mi. She was told the room number and password to enter.
After Ling Lan entered, she was greeted by a boundless starry sky. This surprised Ling Lan. In the past, she had only experienced battles on the planet's surface and within the atmosphere. Although she had experienced this kind of starry sky battle a few times, it was obviously much rarer. It should be said that this map was more disadvantageous for Ling Lan compared to other maps.
Ling Lan scanned her surroundings. She noticed that there was no one in space. The radar area was unusually quiet. It was as though Ling Lan was the only person in this boundless space. The world was so big but she was the only one left. If she stayed in this place for too long, she might feel irritated and anxious. This would affect a mecha operator's senses and judgment. This was also why space missions were always large-scale missions. Only a few elite battle teams would have missions. There were definitely no solo missions.
In the starry sky, lone travelers were prohibited. Thus, if one wanted to explore space, he or she must join a battle team.
After waiting for three minutes, Ling Lan heard a warning from the mainframe. "Notification, you have entered space. Please activate your mecha immediately and turn on the oxygen generator to maintain the oxygen supply. The amount of energy you have now can only last you for three hours. Please take note."
Hearing this, Ling Lan's eyes flashed coldly. "Has it started?" She quickly scanned the area with the radar and found that other than her, everything within the radar's range was still quiet. It seemed that Ling Lan was the only one in this starry sky. Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the other party was still outside the radar's detection range.
Ling Lan smirked and quickly pressed a button. The powerful interference device was successfully activated.
On the other hand, Ling Lan operated her mecha and changed her position. This position could be used to attack or defend. Even if someone wanted to shoot from afar, Ling Lan would have enough time to defend herself.
In the spectator stand, Senior Colonel Mi saw Ling Lan's reaction and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he turned his head and looked at the other side of the starry sky. There was an ace mecha flying towards Ling Lan quickly.
Senior Colonel Mi was surprised. To be able to activate his mecha and enter the chameleon system the moment he logged in, there were only three other ace operators in the same generation as him who could do this. However, this person's style of operation was not one of the three ace operators he knew.
Could it be a rising star? Senior Colonel Mi immediately shook his head. If there was such a person, he would have known about it. The only possibility was that the other party became famous earlier than him so he didn't have the chance to meet him.
Who was the other party? Where did the general find such a powerful ace mecha master?
The spectators could see the movements of the two mechas clearly. Thus, when the other party entered the arena, Senior Colonel Mi saw him. However, he noticed that Ling Lan didn't seem to see her opponent. Her reaction was slow. He knew that Ling Lan's opponent must have activated the chameleon system.
Fortunately, although Ling Lan didn't see her opponent, she knew that her opponent was coming. Thus, she reacted appropriately.
However, if Ling Lan wasn't able to break through her opponent's chameleon system, she would be at a disadvantage in this battle. She might be suppressed by her opponent until the end of the battle. This would be detrimental to her final score. Senior Colonel Mi didn't want Ling Lan to be eliminated in the first round. This would be a huge blow to Ling Lan …
Thinking about this, Senior Colonel Mi's heart ached. He actually started to blame his general for being too strict. Even if he wanted to give her some setbacks, he shouldn't be so harsh. How would she be able to handle it?
Fine, another person was tricked by the low-profile Ling Lan. He thought that Ling Lan was like a normal cadet who had never experienced setbacks before. He was afraid that she would be unable to recover from this setback …
At this moment, Ling Lan, who had been staring at the radar, finally saw a flickering red dot on the radar. However, it only lasted for a moment before the radar returned to normal. If Ling Lan was distracted, she might have missed this red dot.
"As expected, my opponent is here. The moment he entered the arena, he activated his mecha and entered the chameleon system. His piloting skills are better than mine. " Ling Lan quickly determined her opponent's strength. Her heart sank slightly. Her initial confidence was instantly reduced by 70% to 80%.
"It seems that my father won't let me pass this round so easily." Ling Lan pursed her lips in annoyance. As expected of her father, he was the representative of tricking his daughter. He would trick her from time to time.
However, she wouldn't admit defeat so easily. Ling Lan decisively took down the long-range beam sniper rifle and aimed it at the direction of the radar. At the same time, she waved her fingers and a strong interference wave was successfully released.
Seeing Ling Lan aiming her long-range beam sniper rifle at her opponent, Senior Colonel Mi sat up straight in surprise. "She found me? Could it be that Ling Lan's mecha is equipped with that useless Eagle Eye system? "
Qi Yaoyang saw Ling Lan's beam sniper rifle pointing at his direction. He raised his eyebrows. "You found me? Let me confirm. "In an instant, he changed his flying direction and jumped from Ling Lan's right to her left.
Without hesitation, Ling Lan's beam sniper rifle's muzzle turned in that direction...
Qi Yaoyang saw this and knew that Ling Lan had found out about his chameleon system. He said gloomily, "How much pocket money did Ling Xiao give his son? He actually chose to install such an expensive and 'impractical' Eagle Eye system on his mecha … "
Qi Yaoyang also felt that Ling Lan must have installed the Eagle Eye system to counter the chameleon system. However, the Eagle Eye system was only useful against the chameleon system. It didn't have any other functions and it was very expensive to install. Many mecha operators didn't want to spend money on it. After all, the chameleon system was very rare. In the entire virtual world, only a small portion of mecha operators had the chameleon system.
Also, besides the Eagle Eye system, there were other ways to counter the chameleon system. Of course, these methods required a high level of control. It wasn't as clear and accurate as the Eagle Eye system.
However, every ace operator was proud. They all thought that they were the strongest. They didn't want to use any external tools. They wanted to use their own abilities to counter the chameleon system and prove that they were the strongest. This thought made very few ace operators install the Eagle Eye system. They were afraid that if they installed the Eagle Eye system, they would lose their prestige.
This made the Eagle Eye system useless in the Federation. Low-level mecha operators couldn't afford to install the Eagle Eye system. Ace operators with high abilities didn't want to install the Eagle Eye system.
Senior Colonel Mi saw Ling Lan's opponent changing his direction and Ling Lan changing his direction too. He instantly slapped his thigh in excitement. "Beautiful! As expected of the Eagle Eye system. "
Although Senior Colonel Mi and Qi Yaoyang didn't like the Eagle Eye system, they had a different feeling when they saw Ling Lan installing the Eagle Eye system. They praised him in their hearts. "Although it seems a little wasteful, this proves that Ling Lan made sufficient preparations for this mission. He thought of all the possible problems. In order to prevent the chameleon system from appearing, he chose to install the Eagle Eye system. I have to say that he made the right decision."
Compared to Senior Colonel Mi, Qi Yaoyang was happier. This meant that Ling Lan was a careful person. Every action he took was well thought out and prepared well. Even if it was a waste, he would make sure that nothing would go wrong. His team wouldn't be in danger because of his impulsive actions. They wouldn't be in trouble because they didn't prepare well enough.
Qi Yaoyang gave Ling Lan 10 points in his heart. A leader's ability was important. However, being calm and considerate was also important. Only a leader with these qualities could make him feel at ease to entrust his son to him.
Seeing that it was impossible to use the chameleon system to launch a sneak attack, Qi Yaoyang decided to give up on it. A silver ace mecha appeared in the sky.
"Prepare to attack? That depends on whether I'm willing to do so or not. " Ling Lan's gaze turned cold and her finger pulled the trigger fiercely. One after another, extremely powerful beams of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun. Perhaps it was because the speed was too fast, the explosive power made Ling Lan unable to control the body of the gun. In the last few shots, the gun actually trembled slightly.
"One point continuous shooting!" Senior Colonel Mi frowned. This type of attack was useless against an ace operator who was prepared for it. Was Ling Lan nervous? That's why she attacked randomly? Or was he just using these attacks to find a new opportunity to attack?
If it was a normal ace operator, Ling Lan's One point continuous shooting might be able to cause some trouble for him. However, to Gao Jinyun, who had advanced to imperial operator 17 years ago and had been controlling ace operators for 13 years, this was nothing. He dodged left and right and dodged the series of attacks. Just as Qi Yaoyang was about to dodge the last attack, the beam suddenly split open.
The beam of light suddenly cracked. This unexpected change made Qi Yaoyang's expression change. His fingers that were controlling the beam of light suddenly disappeared …
"Bang!" A loud sound was heard.
The beam hit Qi Yaoyang's beam shield. At the last moment, Qi Yaoyang activated his beam shield in time and blocked Ling Lan's unexpected attack.
Qi Yaoyang got excited when he saw the notification on his optical supercomputer. He activated his beam shield 0.003 seconds faster than the beam. This meant that Ling Lan still had a chance to hit him. It should be known that ever since he became an ace operator and became the Sky Pillar of the Federation, there were only a few people who could hit him.
As for the imperial operators in the Federation, they were just ace operators who had improved over time. This was why Qi Yaoyang didn't get discovered when he pretended to be an ace operator for more than 10 years. If it wasn't for the fact that he had reached the peak of imperial operator and touched the secret of advancing to god-class, he wouldn't be able to suppress his level anymore. That was why he had no choice but to advance to imperial operator.
Qi Yaoyang was actually a battle maniac. This was the reason why he was willing to suppress his level and stay at the frontlines. It should be known that after advancing to imperial level, he had to return to the Federation and stay at the headquarters like a god-class operator. How could a battle maniac like him who liked to fight with his enemies every day like this? Hence, Zilong's battle maniac was inherited from his father.
"This is an improved version of Parallel Shot, right? Interesting." Qi Yaoyang's eyes lit up. He was originally calm but now, he finally entered his battle mode.
Originally, Qi Yaoyang agreed to Ling Xiao's invitation just to test Ling Lan's capabilities. He didn't have much desire to fight. However, after seeing Ling Lan's amazing shot, his battle intent was ignited. He was willing to have a serious battle with Ling Lan.
Senior Colonel Mi opened his mouth wide. The beam that suddenly split open shocked him. "This isn't One-Point Continuous Shot!" This was a top-tier technique that only ace operators could master — Parallel Shot!
How could he forget about this? Was it because the One-Point Continuous Shot was too accurate? Did he forget about the other details and missed the truth? Or perhaps, he had been deceived?
"Parallel Shot isn't supposed to be like this. I forgot about it and got tricked." Of course, Ling Lan's opponent was tricked too. That was why he hurriedly activated his beam shield. Senior Colonel Mi was a top-tier mecha master so he could see through his opponent's plan. He shook his head and sighed. "The younger generation will surpass us in time. I didn't expect Ling Lan to be able to combine Parallel Shot and One-Point Continuous Shot perfectly. It made people think that it was One-Point Continuous Shot and ignored the possibility that it was Parallel Shot."
"Also, he made a new improvement on the basis of Parallel Shot. This should be an A-rank improvement right?" The more Senior Colonel Mi thought about it, the more impressed he was. Children nowadays were really daring. He had just advanced to ace level and he wanted to modify a technique. He actually succeeded. In the future, when Ling Lan's hand speed suddenly reached the minimum requirement of imperial level, with Ling Lan's talent, he would be able to do the last part easily. Senior Colonel Mi was envious. He had been stuck at this point for a long time.
However, Senior Colonel Mi didn't have the chance to sigh. He was attracted by the intense battle in the arena.
It turned out that the two mechas were already engaged in close combat. Qi Yaoyang was piloting a close-combat ace mecha. His mecha had been strengthened by him many times so it was able to support his superior mecha piloting skills. In just a few seconds, he had arrived beside Ling Lan. He successfully forced Ling Lan to give up on her long-range attack and fight him in close combat.
PS: It's not bad to be teased by One-Point Continuous Shot. Today, I saw that almost all of the Cloud Rising Under Heaven's Pink Leaderboard. I don't know which corner I'm in. I'm angry! I want to work hard. I want to enter the Pink Leaderboard. For this, I promise: I will slowly pay back the debt I owed in April, May and June by adding 1000 chapters a day. That is 4000 chapters a day. However, in July, as long as the total number of monthly votes reaches 100 (Tencent fans who want to add more monthly votes can vote more), I will add 1000 chapters a day and so on. I will not go back on my word.
Also: I will reward the Jade Annulus of He Clan in July. I will also reward you with 2000, 6000 immortal grass, 10000 egg. Please take it easy. Don't really do it. It's hard for me to deal with it.
