Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Senior Colonel Mi liked this cold-looking young man but He Xuyang’s reply broke his dream. “No, no, I brought him here so that he can form his own team.”
“He is a captain?” Senior Colonel Mi said in a disappointed tone. However, it was understandable that such a powerful recruit would want to form his own team and create his own achievements.
After Senior Colonel Mi regained his composure, he felt puzzled. “He can complete his mission in other places too. Why must he come here? You made me happy for a moment.”
He Xuyang gave an innocent face. “It was the general’s order.”
Senior Colonel Mi glanced at Ling Lan curiously. He understood that the general must have taken a fancy on the young man. He tidied his messy hair and tried his best to look good. He opened his communicator and said emotionlessly, “Name?”
Ling Lan knew that he was asking her so she replied, “Ling Lan.”
“Ling Lan? Which Ling and which Lan?” Senior Colonel Mi asked instinctively. Before Ling Lan could reply to him, he suddenly raised his head. “You are Ling Lan?”
Ling Lan frowned. Senior Colonel Mi’s expression made her feel that something was amiss. Things seemed to be getting out of her control.
He Xuyang was not surprised by the reaction. Senior Colonel Mi was the other reason why he decided to accompany Ling Lan to this place. He wanted to see his expression. He Xuyang knew Senior Colonel Mi for many years and this was the first time he saw a huge change of expression on the colonel’s face. He was extremely satisfied.
He Xuyang smiled happily and replied, “Yes, this is Ling Lan. He was the one that defeated the captain of your substitute team in the special forces.”
Ling Lan was speechless. Adviser He must be taking revenge on her. The mission this time would be hard. She didn’t expect this place to be the headquarters of the special forces. She entered the lion’s den herself, on the orders of her father.
Ling Lan suddenly realized that Ling Xiao liked to make things difficult for her. Throwing her into the First Men’s Military Academy was an instance of it.
Ling Lan felt her head hurting. F**k, this is not logical. Shouldn’t she be the one creating troubles for her father? She must get her revenge next time.
Senior Colonel Mi looked intently at Ling Lan. He was no longer relaxed and casual. He seemed like a wild beast that saw its prey. Ling Lan was vigilant.
Of course, no matter what Senior Colonel Mi’s attitude was, Ling Lan would not let down her guard. She knew that she had embarrassed the special forces three months ago.
Senior Colonel Mi entered her name into his communicator and then pointed at the login pods beside him. “Just choose one and go in. The mainframe will tell you the relevant details of the mission.”
After he finished talking, he entered his login pod. Before he closed his door, he paused. He reminded the two people in front of him with a stern face, “Don’t press the force-stop button again. Once I finish my mission in the virtual world, I will come out.” He didn’t want them to disturb him.
He Xuyang looked at Ling Lan in concern. He looked as though he wanted to wait for Ling Lan to finish her mission but Ling Lan asked him to leave. She told him that his father needed his assistance. He Xuyang was happy that he could leave. Truthfully, he didn’t want to stay here any longer.
After He Xuyang left, Ling Lan was left alone in the warehouse. She sighed loudly. Whatever plans her father had, she welcomed it. In fact, she even felt excited when she knew that she was in the headquarters of the special forces. The torturous training in the learning space nurtured Ling Lan’s desire for challenges. If the special forces wanted to take revenge, she didn’t mind fighting them again.
Ling Lan made her decision and entered the virtual world...
“Hey, I have never seen this brat before. Who is he?” Ling Lan immediately heard someone exclaiming beside her. She had no lag time when she entered the virtual world so she could sense everything the moment she entered.
A few people were gathered around her. Ling Lan pretended to be stiff for a moment so that they wouldn’t realize her secret.
“I have never seen him before too. However, today is the last day of the recruit training camp. Did the commander went to the recruit camp to find new blood?” from the age and the looks of this young man, he must be a recruit. The people thought that he was an official member of the special forces because only official members could enter the headquarters of the special forces. Substitutes didn’t have the right to come here.
In order to protect the members of the special forces and prevent the location of the special forces headquarters from being exposed, every single member of the special forces underwent a thorough background check before entering the team.
They had to be strict with the recruitment of the special forces because they were the ultimate weapon of the division. If the special forces got destroyed, the entire division would drop in strength and become a third-rank division. The division would not be able to regain its strength in a short period of time.
“That is possible. Maybe the commander felt frustrated after the three months in the Blades Training Camp and wanted to vent his emotions on someone,” a 30 years old soldier placed his hand on his chin and said.
“Yao Lang, don’t remind me of the Blades...” Everyone was frightened. They remembered the three months of torture that they went through. Wasn’t it supposed to be a vacation? Weren’t they supposed to relax and enjoy themselves during those three months? If their commander didn’t go through the training with them, they might have rebelled during the training. Of course, even if they did rebel, they would fail. The instructors there were crazy. They were all beasts!
Yao Lang recalled the scary times in the camp and changed the topic immediately. “I am just kidding. Even if the commander took a fancy on him, he needs to undergo three to six months of background check. Hence, it is impossible for him to be recognized by the commander today.”
This meant that the recruit must be chosen by the commander at least three months in advance. That was the time when the recruits from the military academies came in. If it was six months ago... he could only be a normal recruit.
They dismissed the option that he was a normal recruit. No matter how talented a normal recruit was, he would be unable to catch up with a recruit from the military academies in such a short time. Their starting points were totally different.
Although their commander liked normal recruits, he would not let a normal recruit enter the special forces before the recruit showed his true potential. He would be harming the normal recruit if he did that.
Normal recruits were not as talented as the recruits from the military academies. They could only rely on fights on the battlefield to gain experience and improve themselves. If not, they would never be able to surpass those soldiers from the military academies.
“Did the commander set his eyes on this recruit the moment he came here? Is there a prodigy among the recruits this year? Why is the commander so willing to accept him? He never liked recruits from the military academies,” someone asked in a puzzled tone.
“The one who defeated Lian Shaojing can be considered a prodigy,” someone replied sarcastically.
“The recruit was also heavily injured. He even missed the three months of recruit training camp...” Another person answered.
“Lian Shaojing had to recuperate for at least a year. If you look at it this way, Lian Shaojing had a more serious injury.” Someone expressed his opinion.
“The recruit might still have to stay in the hospital after three months. No one said that he would recover completely after three months. He might have to wait for the next batch of recruits to come in before being assigned to a team.”
According to the rules of the division, if a recruit missed the graduation ceremony, he would have to wait for another year to be assigned to a team.
Someone suddenly asked, “Don’t tell me that this is Ling Lan.”
“That is impossible.” A commotion arose among the people. Ling Lan embarrassed the special forces. The commander would never take a fancy on such a person... unless Ling Lan was really a prodigy...
But that was impossible too. Their commander was someone who was not satisfied with ace operators as well as people who fully mastered their physical skills. He would only make such exceptions if he found someone in the domain realm or an imperial operator. Could a recruit reach these two statuses?
Not everyone was Ling Xiao.
The people around Ling Lan noticed that his eyes were regaining conscious. They knew that his lag time was ending. One of them exchanged glances with Yao Lang and Yao Lang took a step towards Ling Lan. He stood right in front of Ling Lan.
Ling Lan looked at the person that appeared in front of her. He was lean as compared to the others. He smiled at her but Ling Lan felt the coldness in his smile.
Ling Lan didn’t feel any oppressive aura from this person. His physical skills must be lower than the domain realm. She didn’t know his mecha operator status but from the conversations just now, she predicted that this person must be the adviser of the group.
