Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Only after everyone had left did Little Four ask hesitantly, "Boss, what are we going to do now?" Having already been to the real virtual world, Little Four could not muster up any excitement about this enclosed little world before him.
"Let's just familiarize ourselves with this newbie village..." Ling Lan was very interested. This was her first time coming into contact with a virtual world, and she had not expected it to be so realistic. When she had seen Zilong and the others earlier, she had almost thought she was still in the real world.
Newbie village? What did that mean? Little Four was puzzled — why couldn't he understand?
However, in order not to ruin his image as the smartest intelligence entity, he did not dare to ask Ling Lan what it meant, but instead quietly went to search through his own database. Very quickly, Little Four found this term in some online gaming novel. After comparing the contents, he finally understood.
Little Four looked around this enclosed little world, and then thought back to the significance of the newbie village in the online game. He found that his boss's description was really quite vivid. Little Four was once again impressed by Ling Lan's profound knowledge. Boss was indeed Boss, always able to use a simple word or sentence to express complex things to the fullest. Look at this place — in order to ensure that those children who had not yet properly established their values and values would not go astray, the academy had chosen to seal off the area for protection. Wasn't this the same reason why online games had set up newbie villages ten thousand years ago to protect the rights of newbies?
Leaving aside Little Four's current admiration for Ling Lan, which was like the overflowing waters of the Yellow River, which could not be stopped... Ling Lan spent an entire day with great interest, taking a cursory tour of this enclosed little world. She had a general understanding of the situation in this enclosed city.
The city was very large, more than a hundred times larger than the scout academy in real life. Ling Lan estimated that without several years' time, she would not be able to fully understand this city. It was likely that this city had been made so large to deal with the scout students. After all, they would have to stay in the scout academy for as long as 10 years — if they managed to conquer this city in just a few days, the students would definitely cause a ruckus.
The time in the virtual world didn't increase like Ling Lan thought. Instead, it was the same as the time in the real world. In other words, a day in the virtual world was a day in the real world.
Ling Lan strolled around the shops in the city for a while, and found nothing strange or incomprehensible. Everything in the shops were all things that existed in the real world. After asking, he found out that buying things in the virtual world was actually buying things in the real world. Once you placed an order and paid, the other party would deliver the goods in the real world. Oh right, let me remind you, there's no payment function in the virtual world.
Of course, there were many academies in the city. There were countless videos of lessons. As long as you completed the required mission, you could get one of the lessons for free. Of course, you could also choose to buy it directly. However, the amount of money would blind you. Damn, it was too expensive.
If it was possible to convert credits into coins from the real world, the students might not have so much resentment. Unfortunately, in order to allow the children to become independent as soon as possible, the academy banned this exchange function. What was even worse was that the academy was so stingy that they didn't even give a single cent to the new students.
Do you want to get what you want in the virtual world? Alright, students, please accept the mission and rely on your own two hands to create wealth. All the NPCs would tell you this with a smile on their faces, completely ignoring the children's pounding chests and stomping their feet, as well as their complaints.
Of course, the academy wasn't really that heartless. They had set up countless small and easy to complete missions in the virtual world. Of course, the reward was definitely not much. As long as you completed these missions, you could get the corresponding amount of money or exchange it for some free course guidance.
Legend had it that there were some ultimate fighting techniques and legacy missions that made the children envious. These missions could allow an ordinary child to reach the heavens in a single bound.
Of course, it wasn't easy to obtain such high-level missions. It required luck and opportunity. However, even if you obtained such missions, it was still unknown whether you could complete them. Ultimate fighting techniques and legacies weren't that easy to obtain. To students like Ling Lan who had just entered the virtual world, there was no way for them to know these secrets. They could only start by doing small missions. When they earned some pocket money, they could also understand this virtual world that humans called the second world.
Because Ling Lan had Little Four, this super cheating device, she was like a fish in water in the virtual world. Faced with the tens of thousands of daily missions that appeared every day, Little Four carefully helped Ling Lan choose the missions that had the highest pay-to-reward ratio, allowing Ling Lan to accumulate money at the fastest speed.
If necessary, Little Four could also directly bypass the virtual world's blockade and exchange credits from real life into virtual money for Ling Lan. However, Ling Lan directly rejected this suggestion. Ling Lan felt that she had already benefited too much because of Little Four. If she went overboard, she would really incur the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people. Ling Lan decided that it was better to keep a low profile.
Of course, the reason why Ling Lan rejected Little Four was because she still had a huge advantage. That was, the battle points obtained in the ranking battles could actually be exchanged for money in the virtual world. Ling Lan guessed that this was one of the academy's reward mechanisms for the top talents, a form of protection in disguise. It could be expected that those outstanding children in real life would be able to learn useful things earlier with this extra wealth. This was also in line with the Scout Academy's educational system.
Just like that, Ling Lan busied herself for a year in the Scout Academy and the virtual world. During this time, she experienced two more ranking battles. Ling Lan only managed to maintain fourth place both times. The first time, she encountered Luo Lang in the semi-finals, and chose to give up. The second time, she encountered Zilong in the semi-finals, and also gave up.
Don't blame Ling Lan for having no fighting spirit. The difference in strength was just too great. Letting Ling Lan fight with them would really be like bullying children, and it wouldn't do them any good. If it weren't for the fact that she wanted to ensure that she would receive the best education and the best training resources in the academy, Ling Lan would have no desire to fight at all.
This action also caused Ling Lan's fame to spread only among her peers. The seniors in the upper grades had initially still been a little interested in Ling Lan, but later on, after seeing that Ling Lan was consistently in the top four, they slowly lost interest.
Ling Lan didn't care about any of this. The Scout Academy was just a place for her to learn, not a place for her to compete. Moreover, she was very busy every day. She had the Scout Academy's classes to study, the learning space's missions to complete, and she still had to find time to research the path she wanted to take. Of course, she also didn't forget to go to the virtual world every day to complete the missions that Little Four had picked out with the highest rewards.
On this day, Ling Lan entered the virtual world to complete missions as usual. However, the moment she entered the virtual world, she was chained down by countless companions. Turning on her flashing communicator, she found that Zilong and the others were anxiously looking for her.
"What's the matter?" Ling Lan was very curious. Although they would contact her from time to time, they had never been all over the place like today. Something big must have happened.
"Boss, where are you?" Zilong's loud voice almost deafened Ling Lan's ears.
Ling Lan glanced at the familiar building beside her and answered, "100 metres in front of the Electrical Physics teaching building."
This time, Ling Lan was preparing to complete a certain physics instructor's mission, and then receive guidance from that instructor in his physics class. This wasn't a video recording, but a one-on-one, specialized guidance. Also, the time given would depend on how well the mission was completed. In other words, the more Ling Lan completed the mission, the longer the time given... this was also why she was willing to accept this mission.
"Hehehe... Boss really likes to joke around. You can even describe 100 metres in detail." Zilong replied with a silly grin. Of course, he could hear the dissatisfaction in Ling Lan's voice. She must have despised him for being too loud, but he had really been too excited just now, and couldn't control himself at all.
"Don't accept that mission yet..." Zilong suddenly thought of what Boss was going to do there, and hurriedly stopped him. Although the mission's reward was tempting, the mission's content was enough to drive people crazy.
It was a test mission, with 2 hours of test time. Of course, this wasn't the reason why the children were going crazy. Which child who could enter the Central Scout Academy was stupid? They weren't afraid of tests at all. But this was a physics instructor's mission, so why did the test content cover the entire course? No matter how smart a child was, there would always be one or two subjects that were slightly lacking. This caused most of the children to fall off their high horse, and only a few all-rounded prodigies were lucky enough to pass the test.
Among Zilong and the others, only Han Jijun had passed the test and received face-to-face guidance for a month. This allowed Han Jijun's electrical physics knowledge to advance by leaps and bounds. According to Han Jijun, within 5 years, he wouldn't be afraid of anyone catching up to him. How awesome!
"Reason?" Ling Lan wasn't someone who would easily give up on her goals; she asked calmly. Zilong needed to have a reason to convince her, otherwise she would still choose to proceed with the mission.
"Come to Mecha Street quickly. A legacy mission has appeared here." Zilong's voice was lowered a little, but he couldn't contain his excitement. He was about to go crazy with excitement.
"Legacy mission? For real? "Ling Lan was also surprised to hear this news. In this one year, she had gradually come to understand some of the secrets of the virtual world. She knew that there might be some legacy missions here, waiting for the fated to discover them. However, this was after all just a rumour — she had yet to hear of any students receiving any legacy missions. Of course, she couldn't rule out the possibility of receiving a legacy but keeping it a secret.
"Of course it's real. This mission has already been verified by the academy. Right now, everyone is preparing to go in and give it a try. But according to the students who have tried, this mission's test is very strange. They lost mysteriously and were sent straight out. Still, no one believes this, so they're all waiting to go in and give it a try. Boss, that's a legacy, a legacy! "Zilong spilled out everything he knew, shouting excitedly.
Zilong couldn't help but be excited. The word 'legacy' could not be used carelessly in this world. Only those who had reached the level of a king would have the right to pass down their lifetime's worth of knowledge to their disciples. And legacy missions were a test for the king to choose their disciples.
