Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1398

Ling Lan sat in the main seat of the room, holding her head with her hand with her eyes closed.

Han Xuya, who was using the newly invented optical supercomputer to receive signals, had a look of joy on her face as she received a signal. She immediately deciphered the signal and walked beside Ling Lan after organizing the information.

“Boss, this is the first battle report from the battlefield on the frontlines.” Han Xuya handed over the doc.u.ment in her hands.

Ling Lan opened her eyes and took the doc.u.ment. She looked at it and her mouth instantly pouted.

“What's wrong? Is there a problem?” Li Lanfeng, who was sitting beside her, was studying the map of the area of Kamoda. Even though he was not looking at Ling Lan, he could sense the change in pressure coming out from Ling Lan's body, so he immediately raised his head to ask her what was wrong.

“Yeah, Zhao Jun and one of Lord Li's mecha teams encountered each other.” Ling Lan handed the doc.u.ment in her hand to Li Lanfeng, “He decided to face them head on.”

“Zhao Jun always fights like that. Plus, if they've already encountered each other, if they don't fight head on, it will make us look weak.” Li Lanfeng smiled as he gave an explanation for his friend.

“He's in the jungle area.” Ling Lan sent a side glance at Li Lanfeng. It was as though she wanted to see just how much Li Lanfeng could make the situation sound better.

Li Lanfeng's smile instantly froze. Luckily, he was someone who was adept at being shameless. “It's because of the mindset of everyone in the jungle that gives him an inherent advantage. While everyone is setting up ambushes in the dark, he would crush them through brute force in broad daylight. Perhaps there will be a surprise.”

“Okay, I'll wait to see that surprise you mentioned.” Ling Lan didn't expose Li Lanfeng for forcing the fact. Although she was somewhat unsatisfied with Zhao Jun's decision, she still decided to not do anything about it. The most she would do was to drag him back into the training room after he comes back to sharpen him. As for whether he would be hanging near death's door, it would depend on Ling Lan's mood at the time.

Li Lanfeng could only give Ling Lan a faint smile. What could he do? Zhao Jun was his friend. Even if he knew that the decision Zhao Jun made wasn't optimal, shouldn't he, as his friend, back him up?

Ling Lan stopped talking about this topic. After all, Zhao Jun was the only one who knew the real reason why he made such a decision. She couldn't just sit here and make a judgment for him. If she did, why did she even delegate her powers in the first place. Ling Lan decided that afterwards, when Zhao Jun would send her the complete report, she would a.n.a.lyze it again.

Ling Lan went into deep thought. While doing so, her fingers rhythmically tapped the table. This finger tapping thing was a habit she had inherited from her father, and it would show itself when she was deep in thought.

When the sounds of tapping entered everyone's ears, everyone subconsciously softened their steps. They were afraid of making any noise that might affect Boss's train of thought.

Suddenly, Ling Lan raised her head and looked towards Luo Chao, who held the secretary position, and asked, “Luo Chao, does Zhao Jun have enough medics and medicinal agents with him?”

“Department Head Li equipped Regiment Commander Zhao with S level equipment. As long as they don't go over the top, it should be enough to hold until the battle royale finishes,” replied Luo Chao.

“S level. That's two Nuwa agents for every mecha operator.” Ling Lan nodded and then turned towards Li Lanfeng, “Lanfeng, you know Zhao Jun best. Do you think Zhao Jun would go too over the top in this battle royale?” Ling Lan put more emphasis on ‘too'. It was clear that Ling Lan knew that Zhao Jun would do something over the top, but she didn't just to what extent.

“Zhao Jun… When he's calm, he's very calm. When he needs to go crazy, he goes really crazy. So, I can't really give you a definite answer. ” Li Lanfeng frowned. “He and Qi Long, once they go into battle mode, they're both hot-blooded and even insane. However, the source of their hot-bloodedness and insanity are completely different from each other.”

“Qi Long honestly enjoys the thrill that a fight brings him. Watching Qi Long fight, no matter how crazy or difficult it is, we are able to sense the excitement and exhilaration from Qi Long. Additionally, his special physical const.i.tution and innate talent makes him very suitable for prolonged fights, and the longer he fights the higher the chance of him getting an epiphany to become stronger.” After saying all that, a look of envy fell upon Li Lanfeng's eyes. That special physical const.i.tution was something everyone looked towards with jealousy.

“But Zhao Jun isn't like that… His hot-bloodedness and insanity are forced onto himself. It could even be said that he hates fighting, despite giving people the impression that he loves to fight.” Li Lanfeng's gaze was stern. After knowing Zhao Jun for so many years and being his friend for more than ten years, Li Lanfeng, who was naturally good at digging deeper into things, of course saw through what was hidden within Zhao Jun's heart.

Li Lanfeng's shocking words stunned Luo Lang and Han Xuya, and their stunned state was not without reason. In Lingtian, if anyone was asked which regiment commander liked to fight the most, they would rank Qi Long, Zhao Jun and Luo Lang as the top three candidates. However, Li Lanfeng's words completely shattered their perception of Zhao Jun.

However, Ling Lan wasn't surprised by this. “I've sensed this in the past. It's just that it's Zhao Jun's personal matter and I shouldn't talk about it.”

“All in all, it's still because of his family background. The ident.i.ty of a commoner caused his starting point to be extremely low, but luckily, his outstanding talents shined through, causing his family to put all their hope onto him. Additionally, being in a poor third-rate planet forced Zhao Jun to depend on himself and climb up the ranks one by one. While under immense pressure, in order to become stronger, sometimes he could only go towards danger,” explained Li Lanfeng.

After hearing the explanation, Luo Chao's eyes brightened. “That's why he does the same thing as Elder Brother Qi Long. He forces himself to fight in order to get stronger.”

Li Lanfeng nodded. “Yes. Many times Zhao Jun would force himself towards his limit in the hopes of finding a way to become stronger, whether it is improving his sense of combat or his proficiency in mecha piloting.”

“He isn't like Qi Long who enjoys fighting because of the thrill. It was instead reality forcing him to fight.” Luo Chao had a sad look on her face. The image of a lonely child appeared in her mind, a child had nothing and could only fight and fight, bleed and bleed, in order to strengthen himself until he finally got accepted into the First Men's Military Academy.

“This is the reason why he couldn't control his t.i.tled domain level technique yet. Forcing himself to fight would in the end become the devil in his heart,” Ling Lan said calmly. “Perhaps this battle royale will give Zhao Jun a chance to rid himself of that problem.”

Li Lanfeng's eyes instantly brightened, “Really?”

Ling Lan nodded, “There are opportunities. I protected you guys too much in the past. Although you guys were safe, it also decreased your chances of growing on your own. When Zhao Jun understands the burden of bearing the responsibility of the lives of thousands of people on his own shoulders, the problem with the way he does things will be resolved.”
