Chapter 487
The waiting referees suddenly grew excited . The main referee looked at the time on the communicator on his wrist, smiled and said, "The first to reach their base camp, using 1 hour and 59 minutes . The amount of time they took is pretty short, but unfortunately, they still didn't manage to beat the shortest time record . "
Upon hearing that, one referee couldn't help but argue, "General Ling Xiao made a record of 1 hour and 37 minutes back then . That is already infinitely near the fastest theoretical speed . How can anyone be able to break this record?"
The main referee thought about it and believed it to be true . If someone really did break the shortest time record General Ling Xiao had created, then that would be a surprise . The main referee and the others didn't know at the time that if Ling Lan hadn't waited 30 minutes to make sure of her predictions, it was possible that Ling Lan's group could have beaten Ling Xiao's record and made a record of their own .
Tossing aside the small suspicions in his mind, the main referee turned his head and asked the referee in charge of monitoring signal transfers, "How long until we know which military academy is at G17?"
"The A . I . is now receiving the beacon's signal . It is at 90% right now . The answer will be known soon enough," the referee reported as he continued to watch the progress bar go up .
A "beep" sounded right as he finished speaking—the signal received had reached 100% . Following that, the Area G17 which had lit up showed a familiar academy emblem . "It's the First Men's Military Academy!"
"Holy sh*t, the First Men's Military Academy is pretty strong this year . Their score from before already left the other military academies behind by a large margin . As long as their performance in the battle royale isn't too bad, this year's first place should theirs . Heh heh heh, it's been almost 7 times, right? The first place that was far out of their reach for more than two decades should return to the First Men's Military Academy now," one referee exclaimed .
Right then, another referee seemed to have realized something and laughed out loud . Everyone looked towards him with surprised looks, not knowing what he was laughing about .
That referee quickly explained, "I just thought it was a coincidence that two decades ago, General Ling Xiao led the First Men's Military Academy and obtained the most glorious first place . Two decades have passed, and General Ling Xiao has come to visit the mecha tournament and as luck would have it, the First Men's Military Academy's performance is remarkable beyond comparison . Doesn't this mean that General Ling Xiao is the First Men's Military Academy's lady luck? If he's around then everything will go smoothly, right?"
These words that held a bit ridicule made everyone smile inside . However, it was just as what that referee had said—it was really a coincidence . After the tournament in which General Ling Xiao had made a glorious achievement, Ling Xiao didn't appear in the seven tournaments that followed . The performance of the First Men's Military Academy was always poor and they were pressured into second place for seven straight seasons by the Second Men's Military Academy . This time, however, General Ling Xiao came and from the start of the tournament, the First Men's Military Academy's performance was overwhelming and suppressed the other military academies . And now, they were also the first ones to reach their base camp location, giving themselves more time to organize the defenses of the camp . The future prospects of the First Men's Military Academy in the battle royale were looking good .
Right then, noises suddenly came from the outside and someone repeatedly exclaimed, "General Ling Xiao's here . "
Everyone in the main monitoring room was very surprised . Although everyone knew General Ling Xiao would visit the main scene, everyone still believed that the busy General Ling Xiao would only come to watch in the later parts of the battle royale . They hadn't thought that General Ling Xiao would come when the tournament hadn't really started .
Soon, the people in the monitoring room saw General Ling Xiao, who was full of energy, coming in with a beautiful woman . They were none other than General Ling Xiao and his wife, Lan Luofeng .
The two's love story was always relished by others . Lan Luofeng used to be the person whom all the women in the federation were jealous of . Now that they had seen the actual person, many of the female officers who were present felt better . They kicked themselves for not being the woman who was standing beside General Ling Xiao .
Of course, there were many officers who came along with General Ling Xiao, such as lieutenant Qiu Yue, the first advisor of the 23rd Division, He Xuyang, other representatives from other divisions, and also the representative belonging to the Federation—the Vice President .
Everyone moved in front of the large screen with the help of the person in charge from the organizers . Ling Xiao saw the only area that was lit up and seeing the familiar school emblem, he smirked . He hadn't thought that his own daughter would have arrived at their headquarters location this quickly . He uncontrollably glanced at Qiu Yue, who stood beside him, with a hint of disdain in his expression .
Ling Xiao's glance made Qiu Yue scratch his nose awkwardly . On their way here, he had told Ling Xiao about how he tossed commander Ling Lan into the Yin Yang Sea . He had no choice but to do so, as he was worried that the First Men's Military Academy would not be able to see through the mysteries of the Yin Yang Sea, fail to discover the real path and get regrettably eliminated . That was why he had wanted to give Ling Xiao a heads up, in case he got mad at the end .
As for Ling Xiao, he was very satisfied with the performance of Ling Lan's group . On the side of First Men's Military Academy's cadets, once they arrived at the base camp, they began to get busy . Everyone split the work and cooperated, while Ling Lan specially called for the modification team . Led by Chang Xinyuan, they began to modify some of the lighter weapons . It was because of this group of people that Ling Lan had forgone exchanging for heavy weaponry at the beginning, choosing instead the light and easy to carry weapons . With these mechanics, their headquarters would not be lacking in weaponry .
