Chapter 294: Mecha Instructor!
Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr
Ling Xiao and Ling Lan hid in the forest, coolly watching batch after batch of mecha come and go . Even though they had to hide in the forest for up to an hour, there was not one trace of impatience on their faces . It could be seen that both father and daughter had extraordinarily strong patience .
Ling Xiao glanced at the completely still Ling Lan in her mecha by his side and just knew that his daughter was extremely calm . The feeling called pride reared up in his heart once more — just this patience alone was not something an ordinary person could possess .
Following the passage of time, their patch of grass finally regained its initial peace and quiet . Only then did Ling Lan move her mecha, and she could not help but say, "Father, you should keep a lower profile . Why don't you change to a slightly more common mecha?" She did not want to keep hiding here in this dense forest, unable to go out .
Ling Xiao was silent for a beat, then sighed and said, "This is already my worst mecha . "
In his virtual mecha hold, all the other mecha were even higher level than this one . One of them was even the so-called god-class mecha he had obtained by completing that horrific mission, while several others were exclusive special editions specially gifted to him by the Mecha World after he had created a few imperial level skills in the game . These were all representations of his personal identity — the moment he piloted those mecha out, just the fire phoenix logo on their chests alone would allow others to guess who he was . . .
Ling Lan was utterly speechless . The two of them once again descended into wordless silence . But then, right at that moment, Ling Lan's heart clenched, a sense of danger suddenly rushing into her . Without thinking, Ling Lan chose to leap up and dodge instantly . When she turned around, she saw Ling Xiao, who had initially been standing immobile beside her, slowly in the middle of resheathing the two short blades of his mecha back at his waist . Meanwhile, on the ground beneath his mecha, two extremely ferocious-looking forest savage beasts were laid out .
Seeing this, Ling Lan's heart was shaken — when she had sensed a threat earlier, she could only choose to evade . But Ling Xiao had been able to easily finish off these ambushing savage beasts coming from behind him . From the two bodies laying on the ground, she could clearly see that there was only one point of fatal injury on them . In other words, Ling Xiao had instantly drawn his swords, both swords stabbing out to kill one savage beast each in the blink of an eye .
This may seem like a simple thing, but to do it was certainly not easy . A savage beast's life force was extremely formidable — even if one struck a fatal weakness directly, their powerful vitality would still allow these savage beasts a chance to carry out a final counterattack . This was precisely why many people did not dare to attack these type of savage beasts at close range .
However, all of this was no problem at all when it came to Ling Xiao . With clean and efficient moves, he had eliminated all danger .
"When you strike their vital points, you must instantly sever their nerves and disable their reflexes in one go . This way, the savage beasts' ability to counterattack will be destroyed . However, this kind of ability requires tens of thousands times of training before you will be able to do it . It cannot be rushed," Ling Xiao knew what Ling Lan was bothered about and so spoke up to explain .
Ling Lan nodded at his words . Her eyes shone vibrantly, because she had discovered that her father Ling Xiao was most likely the best instructor in this world to mentor her in mecha control .
Though Instructor Number Three in the learning space was indeed very strong in terms of mecha control, because the world she lived in now was still different from the world the instructors had come from, there were still some aspects which Ling Lan found rather difficult while learning from him . It should be said that the control methods Ling Lan was learning were modified from the control methods of their world, based off the results of Instructor Number Three's analysis of this world's mecha . Despite being very high-level, those methods could not achieve true 100% compatibility . . .
However, Ling Xiao was different . He was one of the top mecha operators in this world to begin with, and all the control methods he had learned were the accumulated results of this world over thousands of years . It should be said that Ling Xiao's control skills were the most appropriate for the mecha presently being used by the Federation, and he would be able to let Ling Lan truly understand the mecha of this world .
Ling Lan was rather frustrated at this time — why had she not realised this over these past few days? Actually wasting so many days for no good reason . Knowing that her dad's time was precious, Ling Lan decided that she could not continue wasting it any further, so she said to Ling Xiao seriously, "Father, you should be free these few days, right?" Ling Lan's eyes were sparkling brilliantly, her eyes shining with boundless hope . . .
Could it be that his daughter had acknowledged his fatherly love? Ling Xiao was overjoyed — did this mean that his daughter was willing to accept him now and call him 'daddy' affectionately? He quickly nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'm extremely free . "
"Then instruct me a little on mecha controls . " Ling Lan's subsequent words made Ling Xiao's mood plummet from the heights of heaven straight down into hell . He was greatly depressed, tears all over his face inside .
Oh daughter, daddy came all this way to come into the military academy undercover, just so I could establish a deep and meaningful father-daughter relationship with you, not so I could PK with you and be your instructor . . .
But facing that bright-eyed gaze of Ling Lan's, Ling Xiao just could not say anything to refuse . He could only nod and say, "Okay . "
Hearing Ling Xiao agree, Ling Lan's lips quirked up instantly . Even though Ling Xiao could not see his daughter's expression, for some reason, he just felt that his daughter was in a great mood . He could only smile wryly and console himself that he had finally done something that made his daughter happy, that all his efforts had not been for nothing .
An excited Ling Lan was completely an action-oriented Ling Lan — without saying anything more, she led her dad back to the city closest to them, Clear Winds City, running all the way . They came to the mecha combat hall at the city centre, and found an empty private room and requested entry for a spar .
