Chapter 239: Slaughter a Chicken to Strike Fear into the Monkeys?
Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan patted the humanoid lower cha she had just redeed.
The entire outer shell of the cha was dark grey — although it was not particularly eye-catching, the cha was a great improvent from her previous one whether in terms of durability and safety or weapons.
It not only had a beam energy gun with extrely high destructive power, it also possessed a high alloy steel broadsword.
Two sai1 hung at the back of its waist, while high alloy steel short swords were hidden in compartnts at the side of its thighs — their tensile strength completely beyond what the short swords of trainee cha could offer.
However, it was still lower cha at the end of the day, so it still did not have the right to carry a beam saber.
But Ling Lan no longer needed a beam saber anyway, because she now had the primary cold weapon Regretless which was 100 tis better than any common beam saber.
She could use it until she beca an ace cha operator without any worry.
After she was done admiring this lower cha that now belonged to her, Ling Lan finally pressed the remote control button in her hands.
The initially closed hatch of the cha cockpit swung open — Ling Lan did not choose to use an escalator, instead leaping up with a dash to clamber up the cha with light touches of her hands and feet.
She flew swiftly upwards in this manner, ending up seated within the cockpit in the blink of an eye.
Ling Lan casually closed the cockpit and activated the cha, waiting for all of its systems to co online.
Only then did she operate her cha to login to her personal space and execute several basic movents.
The controls felt much smoother than that of the trainee cha — if she had used this current cha to escort [No cha Unrepaired] to Suncreed City, Ling Lan believed that even without weapons, just relying on the ability of this cha alone, she would have been able to finish off those few large snakes bare-handed.
After familiarising herself with the controls for a period of ti, Ling Lan drew out Regretless from her backpack with satisfaction, and unequipped the lower cha’s basic cold weapon, the common high alloy steel broadsword.
Since she already had a better weapon, Ling Lan would of course use it.
She would only be able to use Regretless to its full capabilities if she ca to know it as well as her own arms.
Ling Lan stashed the high alloy steel broadsword into her backpack1.
Recalling how, not too long ago, she had treasured the carrot-sword which wasn’t even as good as the high alloy steel broadsword, Ling Lan could not help but sigh to herself.
Humans were just so fickle, casting away the old for the new …
seeing sothing better, they would heartlessly abandon that which was worse.
It was truly heartless.
After that bout of sentintality — Ling Lan so rarely giving free rein to her so-called female tendency of overthinking things — Ling Lan then calmly chose to enter the cha world.
As Ling Lan had already switched to a humanoid lower cha and Three-Seas Town was half-teeming with cha of the sa type, her appearance did not attract any of the townsfolk’s attention.
Since she had converted to a new cha, Ling Lan no longer had any interest in abusing those newbies at the cha combat hall.
She felt that it was ti to contact Qi Long and the others.
Thus, Ling Lan entered the na [Lingtian Combat] into the system and sent a friend request over.
Very quickly, [Lingtian Combat] had accepted her friend request.
At the sa ti, the cha’s mainfra suddenly said, “[Lingtian Combat] is requesting communications, YES or NO?” Heh, what a quick response!
Ling Lan of course agreed, and then a voice loud enough to shatter her eardrums rang out in her cockpit, “Boss, you’ve finally contacted !” It was Qi Long’s unapologetically loud voice.
At the sa ti, the system’s voice began ringing out constantly by Ling Lan’s ear, sounding out ding after ding of notification.
[Lingtian Abacus], [Lingtian Parcel], [Lingtian Razor], [Lingtian Substitute]1 requesting to add you as a friend …
Ling Lan decisively approved all these requests.
She knew who they were — [Lingtian Abacus] was Han Jijyun, [Lingtian Parcel] was Lin Zhong-qing, [Lingtian Razor] was Luo Lang, so [Lingtian Substitute] was undoubtedly Xie Yi then1.
Of course, as Ling Lan approved the requests, she was complaining internally.
This group of idiots — what kind of stupid nas were they choosing for themselves?
No standards whatsoever.
After Ling Lan had finished approving everyone, Qi Long dragged the others into the comms channel as well.
Then, Qi Long could be heard to ask excitedly, “Boss Lan, was that rabbit you?” Ling Lan was startled, “What rabbit?” “That rabbit which killed other cha of the sa level in one move!
Those 100 newcor matchups, we’ve all seen them!” Qi Long’s tone was hinting strongly that she should stop hiding; Ling Lan’s skills in cha control were known by all of them here, other than the last to join them, Xie Yi.
“It’s not!” Ling Lan denied firmly.
She would never admit that adorkable rabbit was her — this would affect her great and formidable image too much.
Ling Lan’s resolute denial left Qi Long speechless.
In his mind, only Ling Lan was capable of operating a trainee cha to achieve instakills.
This had always been Ling Lan’s style — hadn’t he advanced to the top 5 at the Central Scout Academy in precisely this manner?
In the end, Ling Lan had encountered himself and Luo Lang, which was the only reason why he had not progressed further.
“If it’s not Boss, then who else could it be?
I cannot imagine anyone else able to do this,” Luo Lang was equally sceptical.
“Alright, since Boss Lan doesn’t want to talk about the matter of the rabbit cha, let’s not ask anymore!” Han Jijyun stepped in to stop them decisively.
Of course, he too did not believe Ling Lan’s denial — in his eyes, this was already an irrefutable fact.
However, since Boss Lan did not want to ntion it, he must have his reasons.
Han Jijyun did not want to trouble Ling Lan.
Although Han Jijyun had put a stop to the topic, Ling Lan could still tell from their deanours that no one had believed her words.
Still, at this point, all she could do was stiffen her jaw and continue to lie through her teeth.
She would never admit the rabbit cha was her anyway; as for what Qi Long and the others wanted to think, that was not sothing she could control.
Qi Long and the others could not wait to et up with Ling Lan.
Considering that she already had a lower cha and since she had a record at Suncreed City, which allowed her to transport directly to the city, Ling Lan suggested they et up there.
Unexpectedly, this suggestion made the few of them whoop in glee.
Qi Long in particular was laughing uproariously as he said, “It’s like I said, who else could …
be but Boss?” Though Qi Long mumbled through part of his sentence, Ling Lan could tell without even thinking about it that Qi Long was most definitely talking about the rabbit cha.
“What?
Is sothing wrong with Suncreed City?” asked Ling Lan curiously.
“It’s like this.
Suncreed City is the capital of the strong.
Only those cha operators who have managed to break through Suncreed Passage from the various newbie towns have the right to enter Suncreed City …” explained Han Jijyun, “Each newbie town has 4 passages, each leading to a different city.
Three of the passages have a lower difficulty level — as long as one takes things step by step, one will be able to enter each of the various cities.
But the final passage of every town will lead to Suncreed City.
Suncreed City is very unique in the cha world.
It can only be accessed by breaking through the passages in the newbie towns.
Those who entered the other cities from the other passages have no way of getting to Suncreed City from those other cities.” “So, any cha operator who can get into Suncreed City is exceptionally strong.
Suncreed City is also the cha holy land in all the cha operators’ minds.
Not only are there many missions there, it holds all kinds of weapons and equipnt, as well as houses all the temples where the various occupations need to go to advance to special-class.
Like for us cha operators, to advance to special-class operator from advanced cha warrior, we need to be evaluated at Suncreed City,” added Luo Lang.
“So that’s how it is …
but that passage to Suncreed City really wasn’t that hard.
As long as one learns how to operate cha properly, anyone can pass,” said Ling Lan airily.
“How is it that simple?
Even an advanced cha warrior may not be able to pass through!
Thinking back, our group was wiped out three tis on that road before passing by sheer luck,” said Qi Long with an expression of rembered fear.
It was clear to see how challenging that passage to Suncreed City had been for them.
“Even if the passage to Suncreed City is a little difficult, if you can’t get past it yourself, just hire an expert to help and the matter is solved.” Ling Lan did not believe that everyone in Suncreed City had all really fought their way through — like that [No cha Unrepaired], hadn’t he been escorted to the city by her?
“Which expert would be willing to bring along a burden when trying to break through the passage?
The more people there are, the more savage beasts there will be to match the numbers, and they will also be stronger as well.
Besides that, only people who have never beaten Suncreed Passage before can attempt it.
People like us who have already gone through it have no way of entering the passage again.” Han Jijyun recounted the restrictions of the Suncreed City Passage.
This was also why life-skills players typically could not get into Suncreed City unless they joined an organisation, faction, family, or sothing along those lines which could arrange things and expend great effort so that so of the more talented life-skills players could be brought into Suncreed City to develop.
Hearing all this, Ling Lan could not help but sigh that she had lost out.
If she had known earlier that going to Suncreed City was such a difficult hurdle, she would not have been so hesitant to accept [No cha Unrepaired]’s weapon, Regretless.
Very quickly, the six of them had gathered at Suncreed City.
Seeing the five silver-blue humanoid cha before her with their elegant forms, Ling Lan once again looked at her own dark and slightly bulky cha body, and was instantly troubled …
this scene was absolutely just like an ugly duckling running into a group of swans.
anwhile, this scene indeed made so advanced cha warriors or special-class cha operators look askance at the group.
However, they just assud that the lower cha must have been brought to the city by these advanced cha warriors.
This lower cha was so enviably fortunate, just like that interdiate cha a couple days back.
“These few days that I’ve been imrsed in the cha world, has anything happened outside?” This was the first thing Ling Lan asked when she t Qi Long and the others.
For so reason, she was feeling rather unsettled, feeling as if sothing was about to happen.
“Indeed, the situation outside has not been quite right these past couple days.” In contrast to the brash and forthright Qi Long, the ticulous Han Jijyun had indeed noticed sothing off.
“What’s it about?” asked Ling Lan with a frown.
“According to Wu Jiong, soone bullied a person in our new cadet regint yesterday.
Li Yingjie naturally couldn’t let that pass, and so led so people to strike back.
But when that person left, he warned Li Yingjie to watch himself.
His attitude was extrely arrogant — I had already suspected it could be soone from a particular faction at that mont,” said Han Jijyun.
“Scouting?
Or perhaps provocation?
Did you manage to find out which faction the other belongs to?” Ling Lan’s expression beca focused.
“Wu Jiong later found out that the other seems to have so connection to the Leiting cha Clan.
That person is an underling of soone within the Leiting cha Clan.
Right now, I don’t know whether this is Leiting’s idea or whether that person is acting on his own.” That said, Han Jijyun’s brow furrowed slightly as well.
They had not secured their foothold in the military academy yet, and were already going up against the number one faction’s Leiting cha Clan1 …
this was undoubtedly extrely disadvantageous for them.
“Leiting?
Thunder King?” Ling Lan recalled [No cha Unrepaired]’s words and sighed, “Even if this was not Leiting’s idea, they will not let this chance go by.
I’m afraid that this ti, the Thunder King is about to make a move.” Slaughter a chicken to strike fear into the monkeys — their new cadet regint was just too perfect for the role of the chicken.
The original raw says ‘断刺’, which is literally ‘broken thorn’.
I could not find a weapon which corresponds to this title in either Mandarin or English, and so resorted to going by description and general feel of the weapon to decide what it is.
The sai seems like the best option, especially since its Mandarin na ‘铁尺’ is a probable candidate if ‘断刺’ is a typo.T/C: Don’t ask what kind of backpack this is.
Lol.
It’s a virtual one, so real life physics does not apply.
:p Think ga inventories.
Those always work like so pocket dinsion.Guess who’s who!
You gotta do it before reading the very next paragraph though …T/C: Hmm, this bears thinking about.
So Xie Yi still thinks of himself as a substitute in the team …?Just to clarify, ‘ Leiting’ is the faction, while ‘ Leiting cha Clan’ is the battle team they have in the cha world.
