Chapter 295: !
Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan was oblivious to the things happening within cha World because this news had been announced a second before Ling Lan logged in, so she just so coincidentally missed this alert.
If Ling Lan had known about it, she definitely would not bring her dad gallivanting all across the town …
Very swiftly, Ling Lan received a friend request from [belief].
Seeing that familiar na, Ling Lan could not help but sweatdrop.
How much did her dad love this na really?
After she accepted, the other party instantly sent over a private chat request.
When Ling Lan accepted it, she heard her dad’s warm voice coming through, “Ling Lan, where are you?” Ling Lan imdiately told her dad her location — when she had logged off previously, she had been outside hunting monsters.
Not because she wanted to collect any points from the monsters, but because in her mission to advance to advanced cha warrior, she needed so items which would drop from these monsters.
The route Ling Lan was taking was different from other people — she never ever looked for monsters to level up, instead mostly choosing to enter the arena fights for cross-level challenges to gain a large amount of experience points in one go.
This was also why Ling Lan had been able to earn enough points to advance to advanced cha warrior in such a short amount of ti.
Of course, Ling Lan’s personal cha control skills were already high enough in terms of standards, allowing her to bring out the greatest combat power of the cha she piloted, which was why she could take this shortcut.
If she had been like Qi Long and the others who had started from zero, she would have had to take her ti and accumulate the fruits of hard practice.
Thus, Qi Long and the others had spent a full three years to train up from trainee cha to advanced cha warrior.
anwhile, at Ling Lan’s speed, it would not be long before she caught up to Qi Long and the others.
However, Ling Lan was planning to pause once she hit advanced cha warrior level, because she wanted to lead Qi Long and the others personally at that point.
Through verbal teachings, self-modelling, and sparring with them using cha, she wanted to push them into mastering all the control skills of advanced cha warriors so that they would be able to transition smoothly into the realm of special-class operator.
Well aware of the importance of foundational controls, Ling Lan did not want her companions to fall into the common pitfall of neglecting those skills.
Once they had all successfully mastered those, at that ti, it would finally be ti for her to let them spread their wings and fly freely.
This was because once one entered special-class operator level, one’s cha piloting would begin to display one’s individual style and character.
No one else would be able to help with the developnt of these control skills — one could only rely on oneself to contemplate and seek insight.
This was also the true reason why special-class operators were also called cha masters, while advanced cha operators could only be called cha warriors.
However, entering special-class operator level was still only the first step.
Only by advancing into ace operator status could one prove that one’s personal control style had matured and beco complete enough to be considered a distinct style of its own.
Many cha masters had ended up being stuck at this level — many people would only be able to be half-assed special-class operators for their entire lives, unable to push through to find a place among the ranks of those who held true strength, ace cha masters.
******** It had to be said that Ling Xiao had left cha World almost twenty years ago, so he had to be rather unfamiliar with this cha World which had been updated countless tis since then.
Whatever the case, Ling Lan had to eliminate the monsters in the area she was in a whole 26 tis before she saw Ling Xiao’s cha landing beside her, fashionably late.
Ling Lan herself did not really care how long she had to wait; after all, she was still trying to get the mission item she needed to drop, so this was not a waste of her ti.
Still, when she saw Ling Xiao’s cha, her initially calm heart beca unsettled, the corners of her eyes twitching noticeably.
Damm*t, just how much of a showoff could her dad be?!
Did he really not know how much attention operating such a bright and gleaming cha — almost bright enough to make her blind — over would bring?
Ling Lan sensed motion in the distance — it looked like her father’s pretty cha had drawn so attention.
Ling Lan did not know that she had only guessed part of it — a greater reason was that this was a relatively low-level hunting ground.
For such a high-end cha to appear here was definitely unusual; thus, everyone could only think — could the person operating that cha be that top-class elite [belief] ntioned in the system announcent?
Regardless of whether he was or not, they would not let go of any bit of possibility.
Therefore, everyone who saw this cha all headed after the cha in the direction it was flying in, chasing after it.
The fact that no one had chased up to Ling Lan’s location was all thanks to how much the speed of Ling Xiao’s cha outstripped that of all of the cha here.
Ling Xiao’s cha was indeed extrely perfect.
It was neither a standard cha nor a modified cha, but a cha listed by cha World as a top-class redemption reward, an imperial cha.
This was the only top-class cha the people playing cha World could use points to redeem.
As for the rumoured god-class cha, it could only be obtained by completing a mission.
And that mission had already been confird by the majority of people to be humanly impossible.
There were six types of imperial cha that could be redeed, and Ling Xiao’s cha was one of those six types.
Ling Lan had taken a cursory glance at it when she was redeeming her current cha — it was called .
As its na implied, this was a cha characterised by its speed.
The entire cha was uniformly white silver in colour, its form streamlined and elegant.
Any equipnt and structural design that could influence its speed had been discarded, leaving only those equipnt and weapons which were necessary.
It could be said to be a very extre type of cha.
These kinds of speed-type cha were generally built for long-range attacks.
Ling Lan saw two long and thin particle beam long-barrelled guns1 slung on its back, and knew her guess was not wrong.
However, Ling Lan’s gaze was then drawn by the two sword hilts sticking out at the cha’s waist.
Based on the direction the hilts were facing, one could tell that they were not the general swords used by cha.
They were very likely short swords similar to high-frequency blades, but since the cha already had the standard equipped high-frequency blades on it, Ling Lan could not understand why it would have more short swords with almost the sa function equipped.
Ling Lan very honestly voiced the doubts in her mind, and Ling Xiao laughed and replied, “This is the frightening aspect of this cha.
Everyone assus that it’s a long-range attack type cha and so are usually on guard against long-range attacks, neglecting its ability to close in swiftly …” Ling Lan’s eyes lit up.
“Father, you an that, this cha is an all-rounded cha which is proficient at both long-range and close-range?” Ling Lan’s offensive manoeuvres were inclined towards close-range combat, but the designs of close-range combat cha were typically very bulky and heavy.
This clashed sowhat with Ling Lan’s need for speed, and furthermore, Ling Lan was still a girl at heart, so she much preferred light, graceful, and elegant cha over those great, hulking, towering types.
This was why when she heard that this pretty cha was also strong in close-range combat, her heart was moved.
“Yes, because it’s extraordinarily fast, it can switch freely between close-range and long-range attacks, flustering the opponent.
This is its strength, but also its weakness at the sa ti.” Seeing that Ling Lan had great interest in this cha, Ling Xiao began introducing it in more detail, “It requires its operator to satisfy three conditions.
Otherwise, even if one has this cha, they would be unable to use this cha to its full capacity.” “What three conditions?” Ling Lan was listening very carefully.
Although she could not possess this cha which she coveted right now, this did not prevent her from making this cha her future goal; for things she needed to pay attention to, Ling Lan would take them extrely seriously.
“One, the operator’s reflexes must be exceedingly quick to be able to keep up with the speed of the cha itself.
Two, the operator’s hand speed must reach a frighteningly high rate, otherwise they will not be able to execute any sequence of action transitions during high-speed movents.
Three, the demand on the operator’s physical condition is high.
It should be known that executing action transitions at high speeds puts three to four tis the burden on the body than piloting a cha at regular speeds.
Without a strong and stout physique, one can never operate this cha well.
Otherwise, the operator would beco injured simply by making a few moves, to say nothing of operating this cha into battle.” Ling Xiao listed out each of the requirents to pilot this cha, when in fact, he really wanted to say outright — Oh daughter, this cha is not destined for you.
A girl’s body was just inherently weaker, unable to reach that level of toughness required even with stringent training.
Ling Lan only nodded after hearing all this, though of course she did not forget to ask what Little Four, who was within a little black room, thought about these conditions.
Why was Little Four in a little black room?
Well, this had to be explained from the beginning.
Every ti they t with Ling Xiao, Little Four just could not keep his composure.
Therefore, whenever Little Four regressed into a mindless fan, Ling Lan would shut him up in a small black room for a while so he could calm down.
Of course, if Little Four behaved well, he would be let out again.
Today, Little Four had once again lost control when Ling Lan had been drinking iced red tea with Ling Xiao in stilted silence.
That was why he was currently stuck inside that small black room, waiting for Ling Lan to show rcy again.
Little Four was just being bored out of his mind in the little black room when he heard Ling Lan’s question.
He instantly patted his little chest and guaranteed that as long as he, Little Four, was around, his boss could have as tough a body as she wished.
She could control whatever , , or anything else she wanted.
Little Four’s answer made Ling Lan relax.
She secretly set obtaining this cha as the goal she would accomplish within the next few years.
anwhile, Ling Xiao thought his daughter had understood his intentions and received his counsel, and so relaxed as well.
Ling Xiao did not know that Ling Lan had indeed listened to him, but her choice was completely contrary to what Ling Xiao was hoping for.
Of course, Ling Xiao was not the type to take things for granted; he was about to personally ask what Ling Lan thought when he suddenly heard so commotion coming from a distance.
He could even vaguely hear soone saying ‘is it over there?’ … This made Ling Xiao hold back on what he had intended to say, turning to look in the direction of the noise with a troubled expression, uncertain what was going on.
Ling Lan had also heard the voices and figured things out instantly.
She said to her father, “Not good.
Let’s run.” Huh?
Run?
Ling Xiao did not know why they had to run, but seeing that his daughter had already activated her cha and was swiftly running towards a dense forest in the distance, he dared not tarry, chasing after her quickly.
They had just dashed into the forest and concealed themselves when quite a number of cha showed up in the initially endlessly empty grass fields.
These were the people who had been attracted by Ling Xiao’s cha and had rushed here in pursuit.
“It’s not here either!
Looks like this isn’t the spot.” Everyone saw the empty fields before them and turned to leave despondently.
Even if there was the possibility of hiding in the dense forest ahead, everyone had naturally overlooked this avenue of thought.
This was because they subconsciously believed that no one would do so and seek death.
It should be known that the savage beasts in that dense forest were several tis stronger than the savage beasts in the plains — even if it were a special-class operator going in, they would be coming out horizontally1.
Right then, they had all forgotten that the one they were seeking was a top-class elite — how could he be afraid of these savage beasts?
It could only be said that these people were fooled by their own preconceptions.
They were all low-level cha operators — even special-class operators were existences that they had to look up to — so it was very likely that they just could not comprehend what a top-class elite truly ant.
如影随风: This was very tricky to translate, and even now I’m still uncertain about the final result.
Most accurately, it translates to ‘like a shadow chasing the wind’, but that seems rather too long and unwieldy for a na, not to ntion rather strange too.
Note: cha nas will be in ‘’ (angle backets).粒子长枪: I’m not 100% sure these weapons are translated correctly as their use is not described.
The term ‘长枪’ can an either a ‘spear/pike’ or a ‘long-barrelled gun’.
=.= One is a cold weapon while the other is a firearm, and since the term ‘particle’ ca before it, I went with the firearm option.
Will edit later on if that proves not to be the case.i.e.
dead or severely injured, carried out flat on their back.
CREATORS’ THOUGHTS ryuxenji Note: This site has had previous cases of eating words in angle brackets (a.k.a.
chevrons).
For this novel, I have formatted cha nas to be listed in those type of brackets, so if you all ever feel like cha nas are missing from a chapter and see strange stretches of white space, please let know so I can work on getting it fixed.
Previous chaps are displaying things fine now, but I did have to manually fix every occurrence of words in angle brackets back then.
As such, I’m unsure if the process of publishing was the one that ate the words in the angle brackets, or if it was a coding glitch that has been fixed now.
In any case, this translator thought is just a heads up in case that happens.
