Chapter 485: Little Four’s Origin?

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The team leaders of the First Men’s Military Academy all had the same paper map, a large map that reached 90% completion. Not only did Ling Lan find out where they were situated, but these team leaders had also figured it out. It should be said that the mecha operators from the First Men’s Military Academy who were participating were each mecha clan’s best batch of operators. Not long after, everyone had returned to their respective teams without leaving anyone behind.

The team leaders from each team gathered beside Ling Lan. During the search for members who had strayed off course, they had discussed what they should plan on doing next. They believed that they should go along the Yang side of the sea and find their headquarters location as soon as possible, so as to complete the mission that would decide whether they met the prerequisite conditions in order to participate in the battle royale.

Ling Lan didn’t have any problems with this idea. When the last member had returned to their team, Ling Lan gave an order to fly towards the direction of Yang side of the sea.

The other military academies were silently watching the First Men’s Military Academy’s movements. When they saw that the First Men’s Military Academy choice of direction was the same as theirs, they stopped hesitating and all flew towards the Yang side of the sea at top speed. This allowed them to quickly pass by and become one step ahead of the First Men’s Military Academy, who were maintaining a slow flying speed.

This action of theirs, in the eyes of the First Men’s Military Academy, made them feel that they were being taunted. The team members who were angered were about to accelerate and pass them. At that moment, however, Ling Lan, who had been looking forward this whole time, saw that this sea which gave off a warm and calm feeling had suddenly become oddly twisted.

Something was wrong! Ling Lan felt that something wasn’t right and quickly ordered, “Stop flying!”

Ling Lan’s command made everyone stop the engines of their mecha and hovered in the air. The other academies’ mecha teams had completely disappeared from their sights due to them stopping.

“F*ck, how are those guys so fast?” Seeing the opponents from the other academies disappear, many of the team members who were ready fight became greatly irritated. They were dissatisfied with Ling Lan’s spontaneous order.

Qiao Ting made his mecha hover in the sky and frowned at Ling Lan. He asked mockingly, “Captain Ling, is there a problem?”

“Yes, there definitely are some problems.” Qiao Ting hadn’t expected his question to be answered and confirmed, which surprised him. “What’s the problem?”

“Wait a sec. Let me study it for a bit,” Ling Lan answered.

Ling Lan opened her eyes as wide as possible and looked towards the calm sea that went for a thousand miles, trying to find the reason that had made her think that there was something wrong. After glancing for around one minute, the calm Yang side of the sea still didn’t change. It was as though the twisted image Ling Lan saw from before was an illusion. But was it really an illusion?

Just when Ling Lan became frustrated, the image of the calm and mirror-like Yang side of the sea became twisted for a moment once again. This time, because Ling Lan was 100% focused, she saw it more clearly than the first time—something was definitely wrong!

But what kind of problem was it? While the gears in Ling Lan’s head turned rapidly, she didn’t forget that she had asked Little Four to analyze this matter with her. Little Four’s calculation abilities were, of course, terrifying, stronger than hers by hundreds or even thousands of times. It would be a waste if she didn’t use him for some hard labor.

“Boss, I just compared all the different data from this Yang side of the sea. I found that the air humidity is much higher than the part of the sea where we dropped down from.” Little Four had compared the data of both parts and found an anomaly.

Humidity? Ling Lan stared blankly for a moment, but quickly reacted to this information. She happily held up Little Four’s head in her mindspace, kissed him hard on the forehead and said, “Little Four, you really are my good Little Four. You found out what the problem was. I almost got tricked by this Yin Yang Sea.”

Little Four became giddy from Ling Lan’s sudden but warm kiss. His computer processing chip was burning up, with only one phrase repeating in its code: Boss kissed me! Boss kissed me! These three words were infinitely repeating, instantly taking up all of his processing space, and almost made him die on the spot.

In the learning space, Instructor Number One suddenly opened his eyes. His originally calm and unmoved expression changed for the first time. He held out a finger, pointed it at the air and drew. A black line appeared out of nowhere in the wake of his finger. Number One used both hands to pull at the black line and the image of Ling Lan mindspace appeared before him.

Number One put his hand through the image, grabbed Little Four and tugged hard—the Little Four in Ling Lan’s mindspace vanished into thin air. Ling Lan, who was using all of her power to determine the situation, didn’t really care that Little Four had disappeared, the reason being that when Ling Lan didn’t need Little Four, he would come and go mysteriously. Perhaps this time he had gone off to play around somewhere.

Number One grabbed Little Four and in the next second, they came to a world full of ice and frost. Little Four’s entire body emitted a copious amount of steam after being hit by the cold air, and his previously burning computer chip on the verge of dying finally had its temperature dropped down by a bit…

Right then, up above in the air of this world of frost, eight openings suddenly ruptured the sky, and in the next second, eight instructors had come to this world. Although Number Nine’s expression was still as cold as always, her eyes could not hide the fact that she cared for Little Four, and she asked, “Are you okay, Your Majesty Number Four?”

“He’s alright, but…” Number One frowned. “It might no longer be suitable for His Majesty Number Four to be with Ling Lan.”

“Why?” Number Three asked, not understanding why.

“Of course a mecha man with a body full of muscles wouldn’t understand this point,” Number Five sneered.

Number Three didn’t get angry. He smiled and asked in response, “Yeah, I don’t understand. If you do, then why not explain it to me?”

Number Five instantly felt difficulty in explaining. Although he had a vague grasp as to what the reason was, it was still somewhat hard for him to explain clearly.

“This is a kind of influence. I’m not sure if it has any connection with spiritual power. I should study it further,” Number Two quietly talked to himself on the side.

“It looks like my future student has great latent abilities. Despite not having the charm of a woman, she still made His Majesty Four lose his bearings and almost break down.”

Number Nine stared at Number Four, glaring exasperatedly at her. “Number Four, what nonsense are you talking about? His Majesty Four has only reached adolescence. How can he understand these things?”

“Maybe our Majesty Four was born a pervert.” Number Four covered her mouth and laughed.

The eyes of Number Six, Number Seven and Number Eight lit up at that moment. They looked at each other, then Number Six said, “If His Majesty Four is not suitable to be in contact with Ling Lan, then shouldn’t the three of us go in His Majesty Four’s place? It is just that we haven’t met Ling Lan before.”

Hearing this, Number Four became impatient, saying, “I haven’t seen Ling Lan before. I can go in His Majesty Four’s place.”

Number Seven smiled and said, “The three of us are skilled in different fields of expertise, which satisfy Ling Lan’s respective needs. The important point is that we three look exactly the same and can switch whenever we want without Ling Lan becoming suspicious. Number Four, you can’t do something like this.”

Number Four was dismayed. What Number Seven had said was the truth. If they replaced Little Four, they could only use the outer storage analysis system. Only His Majesty Four could use the core as they could not operate cross-level.

Little Four woke up and heard the instructors discuss the matter about taking his place. He instantly became worked up and yelled, “No, I want to be with Boss!”

“Your Majesty Four, you almost died just now,” Instructor Number One said sternly. “If the computer chip’s temperature rises too high, it will be destroyed. You know what that will result in even without my saying anything.”

Little Four embarrassedly lowered his head before Number One’s critical gaze. He said quietly, “I only got a bit excited.”

Without waiting for Instructor Number One to continue reprimanding him, Little Four raised his head and said earnestly, “I will control myself in the future. I will not let myself be in danger again, so please just let me be with Boss.”

Number One’s expression was very grave. Little Four’s expression had gone from anticipant to sobbing uncontrollably. The sad look on his face made Number Nine become soft-hearted. She looked towards Number One and said, “Little Four knows his limits now. You should just let His Majesty Four stay with Ling Lan.” The close relationship that Little Four and Ling Lan had formed over so many years made her unable to bear separating them.

Number One instantly shot a cold glance at Number Nine, who became shocked and immediately lowered her head—the way she had addressed Little Four as ‘Little Four’ was out of line.

Number Five saw this and his heart ached suddenly. He quickly said, “Number One, what Number Nine said isn’t wrong. His Majesty Four has followed Ling Lan for more than a decade and she evolved to a level that would have otherwise taken hundreds of years. As long as His Majesty Four knows how serious this is and controls himself, he would be getting more good than harm from following Ling Lan. If you look at this way, then it’s worth it.”

Little Four gave a powerful nod at Number Five instructor’s words. That expression of longing on his face made Instructor Number One’s mouth twitch. If he continued like this, would it really be good for their originally evolved, intelligent and brilliant Majesty Four?

“Alright, I’ll give you one last chance!” Number One said helplessly, defeated by Little Four’s cuteness. Since meeting Ling Lan, he felt that he was becoming more and more helpless…

“Thank you, Instructor Number One!” Little Four was so happy he jumped up. In the next second, now returned to normal, he went back into Ling Lan’s mindspace.

“Ugh…” Number One looked at the empty spot in front of him and inwardly sighed helplessly. He hadn’t told Little Four that the child in the little black room had woken up, and didn’t have to ask whether they should go care for it a bit. “Yeah, no need to hurry. I’ll do it next time.”

A thought rose in Number One’s mind and he flicked his finger, and Little Blossom who was in the little black room felt dizzy, falling back to a deep sleep. Before falling asleep, Little Blossom screamed internally, “F**k, I just woke up!”

Little Four immediately started sobbing after reaching Ling Lan’s mindspace and seeing her still silently thinking about the results.

He had come close, so close, to being separated from his boss forever… Bah, no, it was more like the story of the cowherd and the weaving girl, looking and crying helplessly at each other from across the Milky Way… Ah, that wasn’t right either. He and Boss weren’t in that kind of relationship! Little Four suddenly pulled at his hair and discovered that his vocabulary was so limited. He was actually unable to find a suitable phrase to describe the feeling of despair he had experienced.

Who cares! Little Four quickly wiped away his tears. He leaped towards Ling Lan and held onto her thigh, crying, “Wah wah wah, Boss, I need to be protected.”

Being jumped on by Little Four finally woke up Ling Lan who had still been in deep thought. Ling Lan’s hairs immediately stood on end upon seeing the annoying Little Four holding onto her thigh. Without thinking, she flicked her finger at Little Four’s forehead, saying, “Little Four, what the f**k are you doing?”
