Chapter 652: Pleasing to the Eyes!
Editor: Henyee Translations “Why aren’t you following if you have ti spouting pointless nonsense?” Li Lanfeng said coldly as he stood behind him.
Right as Li Yingjie was about to lash out at Li Lanfeng, he turned around and saw the cold and deadly glare from Li Lanfeng’s eyes.
Li Yingjie couldn’t help but shudder and quickly ran up to Lin Zhong-qing.
Wuwuwu, Li Lanfeng definitely stayed with Boss Lan for too long.
That was why he was affected by Boss Lan’s terrifying aura.
Otherwise, how could Li Yingjie be scared of soone who was not from the main family like Li Lanfeng.
Although Li Yingjie was impulsive and arrogant, his instincts were very keen.
He knew his limits and knew who he could anger and who he couldn’t.
That was why he decisively gave up on being Ling Lan and Qi Long’s enemy… That was why he was so pompous and arrogant for all 10 years at the Central Scout Academy and was not rivaled by anyone.
That was also why he stopped being so pompous after entering the First n’s Military Academy and peacefully living out the rest of his ti there as a student.
Just now, Li Yingjie felt that if he had lashed out at Li Lanfeng, Li Lanfeng’s expression showed that he was actually going to kill him… Seeing Li Yingjie leave, Li Lanfeng closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes once again, the coldness had completely disappeared and only warmth poured out from his eyes.
He laughed without making a sound, rubbed his eyes and reminded himself softly, “Oh Li Lanfeng, Li Lanfeng, your patience seems to have thinned recently.
You actually exposed your real thoughts to that idiot.
That’s not good…” “What’s wrong?
You dislike Li Yingjie?” Zhao Jun asked softly from behind.
Lanfeng smiled and said, “No, not really, only a bit jealous.
The stuff that we worked so hard to obtain, he was able to it get without lifting a finger.
Even the captain is patient with him and tolerates his behaviour…” Zhao Jun thought that Li Lanfeng was talking about how Li Yingjie was the third generation descendant to inherit the Li family.
He nodded and said, “That’s true.
So people are just born lucky… However, I think the reason our captain tolerates Li Yingjie is because he never actually considered Li Yingjie as one of us.
That’s why he doesn’t really care.” “Isn’t he one of us?” Li Lanfeng’s expression fixed to the ground as though he was thinking deeply about sothing.
“Let’s go, otherwise the Boss is going to be angry.” Zhao Jun reminded.
“Okay.
We joined in halfway and can’t let Qi Long and the others leave us in the dust,” replied Li Lanfeng.
Zhao Jun didn’t say anything followed the others with Li Lanfeng.
Zhao Jun knew that compared to Qi Long, they were still viewed differently.
If ti cannot compensate for the difference, then they can only use their hard work to receive more of Ling Lan’s trust.
The staff mbers of Feiyang had already appeared at every corner of the corridors.
They were leading the passengers from the recreational areas to their own rooms.
After a while, everyone obediently returned to their rooms.
Although the staff mbers didn’t seem to be carrying any weapons on them, it was still clear that there were beam guns hidden under their clothes along with so daggers hidden in the side pockets of their pants.
Once the staff mbers found any enemies hidden on the ship who were trying to create chaos, these staff mbers would rcilessly kill them in cold blood.
Additionally, it was also crucial that the enemies did not break them down from the inside.
Feiyang’s captain to the service mbers all knew that once the intergalactic space pirates took control of Feiyang, it would be definite death for all crew mbers.
In order for the enemies to not leave any evidence of their attack, everyone on Feiyang must die.
Of course, not every passengers followed the directions to return to their rooms.
So people who were capable had remained in the atrium and prepared to help Feiyang fight this battle to defend the ship.
Ling Lan didn’t go to the atrium.
She led her team mbers into a corridor and arrived at the ship’s ergency stairs.
Two tall and muscular staff mbers stood at the entrance of the staircase.
Seeing Ling Lan’s group arrive, the two staff mbers decisively pulled out their beam guns and pointed it towards Ling Lan’s group, “Don’t move.” Ling Lan and the others instantly stopped in their tracks.
“Who are you people?
If you’re passengers, please imdiately return to your rooms,” said one of the staff mbers.
Ling Lan glanced at them and put out her right hand.
A thin, card like piece of paper appeared between her fingers.
“Toss that card over here.” Suddenly a deep voice echoed from the back of the two staff mbers.
Ling Lan flicked her fingers and the card instantly shot behind the two staff mbers.
A huge hand suddenly appeared and grabbed that small card.
That was when a 40 to 50 year-old man appeared.
The killing intent pouring out of his body showed that he was not be ssed with.
“I didn’t think you guys are actually on the mission.” After confirming the card, the man looked at Ling Lan’s group and their innocent expressions.
He couldn’t help but sigh and at the sa ti toss the card back to Ling Lan.
“It seems that others had gone past here before us,” said Ling Lan rhetorically.
“Indeed.
You guys are the fourth group.” The man laughed, “You’re new recruits right?
A bit lacking in experience.” Ling Lan only smiled and didn’t answer.
Could she actually say that she purposefully dragged out the ti and ca here late?
Their appearances were too innocent and young-looking.
If her group was actually the first ones to et up with Feiyang’s crew, it was possible that the crew would not trust them as the people on the mission.
Ling Lan didn’t want to waste ti and effort explaining sothing like this.
And now, with a few groups ahead of them, the staff mbers wouldn’t be as cautious as they were before.
Knowing that Ling Lan’s group was on the mission, the staff mbers did not block their path anymore.
Ling Lan’s group went all the way down the stairs to the first floor.
When they passed the second floor, Ling Lan also discovered that there were guards in the corridors.
After looking at Ling Lan’s card, the staff mbers let them pass.
The first floor was divided into two large parts.
One part was the rest area for the staff mbers of Feiyang.
There were no passengers in that area and now not even a single staff mber appeared in that area.
It was probably because all of them had moved out to defend the ship.
The other area was the chanical area.
There was the ship’s engine room, control room, captain’s quarters, etc.
It was the most important part of the cruise ship.
Ling Lan’s group of six reached the entrance of the chanical area.
However, it wasn’t the sa as what they had previously thought.
There were many staff mbers defending it and there was only one door.
However, the six of them knew that this door was not a simple door.
It was possible that even an explosive as strong as TNT wouldn’t be able to destroy it.
Ling Lan walked to the door.
She took out the card and scanned it at the scanner beside the door.
After a clicking sound, the door opened automatically.
After the door opened, there were four ard individuals, all wearing protective vests with military grade beam guns in their hands.
The four of them saw Ling Lan’s group of six entering and they had already pointed their beam guns towards Ling Lan’s group.
If Ling Lan made any sudden movents, the four of them would rcilessly pull down on their trigger and shoot them.
Right then, Ling Lan calmly waved the card in her hand and calmly said, “23rd Division; Four-star battle team Lingtian; Ling Lan; Rank: Senior Captain.” Hearing Ling Lan’s words, the four guards relaxed a bit.
These four already had experience after having already greeted by three allied groups beforehand.
After taking Ling Lan’s card and confirming their identities, the four guards opened the door behind them.
Ling Lan’s group of six walked in and another huge door appeared in front of them.
There was actually quite a lot of doors in order to protect the most important part of the cruise ship.
At that mont, the door behind them closed automatically.
Ling Lan didn’t panic.
They had already gone through real life starship training and knew the standard procedures.
As expected, after the door behind them shut firmly, the door in front of them opened.
The six of them felt that the gravity on their bodies had changed.
Their bodies beca much lighter.
Ling Lan hopped just a little bit and her entire body floated forward towards the direction of the large door.
After six of them passed the large door, the door closed firmly once again.
Inside the door, an automatic conveyor belt appeared.
Ling Lan grabbed onto the handrail on the side of the corridor and was automatically taken forwards.
Not long after, they had arrived at the cargo hold.
It was actually where the starship kept chas.
After the doors of the cargo hold opened, the cargo hold could be seen.
Staff mbers were busy arranging the positions of the chas.
The chas in the cargo hold had already decreased.
It seed that during the ti Ling Lan’s group hurried to this location, many chas had already left to fight the intergalactic space pirates.
Of course, there were still many cha operators patiently sitting in their chas and were waiting for the orders from the staff mbers.
That was because the starship was modified into a cruise ship.
The 24 ports used for ejecting chas out of the starship only had eight that could be used.
This caused the speed of which the chas left to fight to be slower than normal.
One staff mber looked at the optical supercomputer in his hands with sweat dripping down his face.
When the optical supercomputer finished performing the checks for everything, the staff mber imdiately pulled out the cord connected to the cha and shouted into his microphone, “B17, the check is complete.
Please prepare to join the fight.” Right as the staff mber finished, the cha operator in cha B17 heard the clear voice of the starship’s holding area JMC, “Attention B17.
Attention B17.
You have been arranged to be ejected at port number four.
Please get ready to join the fight.” Under the clear and crisp voice of the JMC, cha B17, that was originally securely locked in its holding area, instantly unlocked from its place.
The chanism below the cha automatically moved B17 to port number four.
The cha operator of cha B17 took a deep breath and pushed down a button to connect himself to the JMC at port number four, “B17 ready to take off!
Request to join the fight!” “After doing the final checks, B17’s movents are normal, oxygen systems are normal, weapons and equipnt are all standard.
No issues with the final checks.
Take off permission granted!” The JMC who was responsible for port number four made the final checks.
After finding no issues, the JMC granted the request for take off.
After the JMC finished, the entire port along with the screen in the cha began the countdown.
“3, 2, 1… Take off!” “Whoosh!” A loud take off sound rang throughout the hold.
The port ejected the cha into space.
An intense intergalactic cha battle was about to begin.
“Boss, where’s our chas?” Qi Long said passionately.
He couldn’t wait and wanted to imdiately jump into his cha and fight with the intergalactic pirates outside.
At that mont, the staff mber who had just checked a cha saw the six of them.
He imdiately shouted, “Are you cha operators?” “Yes,” Ling Lan nodded.
Although the holding area was very noisy, the staff mber still clearly heard Ling Lan’s reply.
Her voice seed to ring right beside his ears, but the staff mber didn’t notice this detail since he was too busy.
After knowing the six of them were cha operators, he couldn’t help but angrily point to his right and shouted, “Shouldn’t you be going to the changing room to change into your operating gears?
Are you guys planning on operating chas just like that?” Ling Lan didn’t dare to say anymore.
Since they were in the staff mber’s territory, they should just follow his arrangents.
Thus, she led Qi Long and the others towards the place the staff mber had pointed towards.
After entering the changing room, the six of them saw that 1st Division’s Senior Colonel ng, ng Shangyuan, along with his team mbers from the Iron Curtain Battle Team had already finished changing and was about to leave the room.
“Senior Captain Ling.
You guys are pretty quick.” Senior Colonel ng Shangyuan saw Ling Lan and nodded towards her.
“Senior Colonel ng’s reaction ti is much faster.
We are still a bit late and should learn from Elder Brothers like you,” Ling Lan replied earnestly.
Hearing her reply, Senior Colonel ng had a huge smile on his face and said, “Sure.
We’re leaving first.
We’ll contact each other in the future.” After saying that, ng Shangyuan waved his hand and lead his team mbers out of the changing room.
“It seems that they were at the auction that day as well.” After walking out just a few steps away from the changing room, he suddenly rembered this detail.
The only reason Mu Youyun and Qian Jialin were able to return with their lives from the auction was because they were saved by a domain expert and his comrades.
ng Shangyuan had his own way of acquiring information and knew the truth that was covered up.
When ng Shangyuan’s group entered the changing room, they encountered Qian Jialin and Mu Youyun’s groups leaving the room.
ng Shangyuan had tried to get so information from the two of them, but unfortunately their mouths were tightly sealed and wouldn’t give out any hints.
However, ng Shangyuan still managed to confirm one thing from the calm yet stiff expressions on the two captains’ faces.
The confirmation was that the domain expert was definitely part of the Federation and was soone that they knew.
It was just that they didn’t dare to believe the facts and imagine who it might have been… Who was it that could make those two sly foxes show an expression like that?
The young and naive faces of Ling Lan’s group appeared inside ng Shangyuan’s mind.
He suddenly had a thought that it was possible that it was Ling Lan’s group who were also at the auction.
ng Shangyuan couldn’t help but laugh at his ludicrous imagination.
He shook his head and put the thought into the back of his mind.
At that mont, ng Shangyuan didn’t know that his ludicrous imagination was actually the truth.
However, ng Shangyuan shouldn’t be blad for not believing his imagination.
In reality, anyone who didn’t know the truth of the situation wouldn’t connect a domain expert to Ling Lan.
That was because Ling Lan was too young and was not recorded in the records of the Federation (The records of Federation had once again fooled soone).
Actually, ng Shangyuan paid a lot of attention towards Ling Lan and felt good about him in general.
In ng Shangyuan’s eyes, Ling Lan had the passion and hope of an over-achieving hot-blooded youngster.
That was what ng Shangyuan believed to be why Ling Lan had taken the heavy responsibility of being a captain of a four-star battle team.
ng Shangyuan didn’t know that Lingtian Battle Team was created by Ling Lan.
He thought that Ling Lan inherited the position of captain from the previous captain.
In all cha battle teams, when the captain applied to enter the ace cha battle clan and was accepted, the captain would have to give up their position.
The next captain only needed 80% of mbers agreeing to the appointnt of his new position.
Thus, even if he was a newbie, he would still be able to beco a captain of a legendary battle team (Of course, this was all in theory).
ng Shangyuan naturally believed that this was the case of how Ling Lan had beco a captain.
However, if they couldn’t maintain the necessary requirents for the battle team’s star level, the star level of the team would decrease.
And usually, new captains couldn’t handle the other capable veteran mbers, especially the mbers who were ace operators.
Not long after, the battle team would split internally due to not obeying their captain, ace operators leaving the battle team, etc.
This would decrease the battle team’s star level to three stars, two stars and even possibly one star.
Thus, not every new captain had the courage to take up the mantle and not every battle team had the courage to let a newbie take the position of captain.
In ng Shangyuan’s eyes, no matter if it was the previous captain of Lingtian or Ling Lan, they were both brave individuals.
Even if in the end Ling Lan couldn’t maintain the star level of the battle team, ng Shangyuan wouldn’t look down upon them because of this reason.
ng Shangyuan even decided that if Ling Lan required any help, he would be happy to lend a helping hand.
People were indeed connected by fate!
Other than the 1st Division, there weren’t many people that ng admired because he was a general working directly under the First Marshal.
And as luck would have it, Ling Lan had received ng Shangyuan’s admiration.
