Chapter 306: Accepting a Mission!
Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr
In this first meeting, Qi Long and the other four as well as [No Mecha Unrepaired] all felt that [Self-Defined Destiny] was a pretty decent guy . His demeanour was warm and gentle, making others feel as if graced by a spring breeze . Only [Priceless Kinship], a . k . a . Li Shiyu, was still a little puzzled, because the other's aura gave him a sense of familiarity and affinity, just like how Li Lanfeng had made him feel back when they first met . . .
Li Shiyu could not help but mentally shake his head, laughing at himself for being a little too sensitive . Perhaps this person was just a pleasant-tempered person like Li Lanfeng, which was why he would give him this feeling of similarity . . . Li Shiyu knew well that the reason he was so attuned to this sort of aura was that his eldest cousin brother radiated the exact same type of aura . His eldest cousin brother just could not become a mecha operator in reality like Li Lanfeng, nor could he enter Mecha World to become an advanced mecha warrior like [Self-Defined Destiny] .
Although Mecha World was a virtual world, its advancement levels also drew from the true physical condition of the players in real life . If one's physical constitution in the real world did not meet the standards for advancement, one would also be unable to successfully advance in the virtual world .
Thus, Li Shiyu had never even considered the possibility that his eldest cousin brother might have entered Mecha World and become an advanced mecha warrior . This type of habitual thinking caused him to miss this earliest opportunity of discovering the truth . It was only many years later when he would come to realise that he had actually already touched upon the truth from the very beginning — he had merely brushed it aside .
After the few of them got to know one another, Ling Lan led them in a sprint towards the manor of the city lord of Grandsweep City . That was the place where one could accept the mission to build a battle clan . Ling Lan wanted to complete this mission today .
In the square, all the unaffiliated mecha operators watched as the team sprinted towards the city lord's manor, and they could pretty much confirm that the party was on their way to build a battle clan . They could not help but sigh . . . why could they not be one of the members in that party?
One mecha operator who could not abide seeing others do well could not help but curse them silently in his heart, "I hope their luck is bad and they don't get a mission . . . "
In Mecha World, the mission to establish a battle clan was not that easy to obtain . At present, the sources for these missions as posted on the official forums were truly all kinds of strange 1
, different in so many ways . Some could be accepted directly from the city lord, with some of those being received at the official hall of the city lord's manor . There was even one battle clan which had been oddball enough to receive the mission from the janitor at the city lord's manor, while there were also clans that visited the manor multiple times to no avail . . . not only that, the missions received also varied in difficulty . Some battle clans had a burst of great luck, managing to receive a supremely easy mission . It could be as easy as merely having to deliver a letter to obtain the clan formation token, thus successfully building one's battle clan . In contrast, there were some missions which were loaded with challenges — they might not be completed even after many attempts where the clan members would be wiped out again and again .
Thus from jealousy sprung hate — the unaffiliated players without a battle clan could not help but be resentful, hoping that these teams which qualified to establish battle clans would fail in their missions .
After speaking with the mecha operator guarding the gates of the city lord's manor, they found out that only the team leader could enter to accept the mission . So Ling Lan asked the others to wait for her at the gates before speaking with the mecha operator once more to choose the option of establishing a battle clan . The next second, she was transported into the city lord's manor . The moment one entered the manor, one would automatically be ejected from one's mecha to appear with one's regular appearance . Otherwise, the large hulking mecha would certainly have destroyed the city lord's manor .
The location one was transported to was utterly random, just like the way one could receive a mission . The place Ling Lan came to was a corridor . Ling Lan could not help but frown — the best spot to be transported to was the great hall of the manor . That way, it would be much more convenient to find the official hall or the city lord's office, and the success rate of obtaining a mission would be much higher . In contrast, it was hard to tell with this corridor, because you would not be able to tell which doorway you should choose . This was completely a test of luck .
But was it truly just a test of luck? 2 Ling Lan did not rush to look for a way out, instead standing where she had landed to think things through rationally .
Common sense would dictate that there should not be that many restrictions in the way of forming a battle clan . After all, the formation of a battle clan would band unaffiliated mecha operators together, greatly cultivating the cooperation and rapport between mecha operators, which would bring more potential out of the mecha operators within a clan . It could be said that for this type of battle clan that was established early, when enlisting as a clan into an army division, they could clearly skip the period new troops needed to acclimatise to work with one another . They could become an extremely efficient battle unit in a very short period of time .
Without question, this was an excellent model to foster a nation of soldiers . At critical junctures, even the common public could swiftly turn into extremely capable old hands at fighting, equipped with the ability to work in groups to boot .
In that case, why would such a brilliant model have so many restrictions placed on it? With even the process of accepting the clan-formation mission being so abstruse? Ling Lan could not help but recall the associated tests back during the enrolment for the scout academy and the military academy . A flash of insight coursed through her mind — could this also be a type of test? However, the ones being tested this time were them, the incipient clan leaders . . . what the Federation needed were exceptional leaders who could lead their team members to grow and develop together . Were they trying to weed out those applicant clan leaders who did not have the ability and were only here muddying the waters, to prevent them from destroying the futures of their clan members?
Thinking about it this way, everything made sense — it could be explained why there were so many restrictions involved in the formation of a battle clan now . Ling Lan even felt that those party leaders who were unable to obtain a mission were in fact not unlucky as most believed . After entering the city lord's manor, their choices and actions must have been evaluated by the mainframe of Mecha World and found unsuitable for the role of clan leader . Perhaps that's how they lost the right to receive the mission?
