Chen Yi'an patted his chest and introduced himself, "I am called Chen Yi'an. I'm looking for you because I need you to be a JMC. Oh right, what is your name?"

JMC? Does she look like a JMC? Ling Lan was stunned for a moment. Her mother was an outstanding JMC. She used her voice to attract her current husband… Did she inherit her mother's talent? Ling Lan touched her chin. If she stepped down as the regiment commander one day, she could still become an outstanding JMC. She would not have to worry about not having a job.

Ling Lan looked at the idiot in front of her. All her comrades didn't notice this talent of hers. Why was this idiot able to see it? Does he have an innate talent for noticing things normal people couldn't?

Ling Lan looked at Chen Yi'an curiously. When she saw her reflection in his eyes, she understood everything. Unconsciously, she retracted her cold aura while she was meditating. This young man probably just saw a harmless youth meditating in front of him. No wonder he wasn't afraid of her. He probably never thought that she was his regiment commander.

However, he still lowered her guard. She didn't release her cold aura immediately to disguise herself. This young man must have some kind of special innate talent. Chen Yi'an, I'll remember your name. She had a sudden thought. "Is Chen Yifan your brother?"

Ling Lan had a strong impression of Chen Yifan. He performed very well throughout the months of harsh training. He was almost as good as the members of the Lingtian Battle Team. This caused Ling Lan to see him in a different way. Ling Lan also respected him because he gave up a high ranked position in order to protect his younger brother.

Ling Lan always felt that friends, families, and comrades were way more important than power and money.

Chen Yi'an was elated to hear his big brother's name. "Ah, you know my big brother? My big brother is very strong." Chen Yi'an had a look of admiration on his face.

As expected! His big brother was very talented so his potential must be not bad too… Ling Lan decided to ask Li s.h.i.+yu to find out what Chen Yi'an's innate talent was later.

She was really interested in Chen Yi'an. He made her lower her guard against him. Luckily, Chen Yi'an was on her side so nothing bad happened. However, what if someone with a similar innate talent wanted to attack her? With her att.i.tude just now, she would be in danger.

Ling Lan wanted to die a natural death so she cared very much about the factors that could cause her to be at risk.

Why did she decide to look for Li s.h.i.+yu? Because Li s.h.i.+yu had been very interested in innate talents which could psychologically affect humans recently and was researching about them. The people from Lingtian had the honor and bad luck of becoming Li s.h.i.+yu's guinea pig.

During this time, the people from Lingtian feared Li s.h.i.+yu even more. He was now the second most frightening person, just behind… cough, just behind their Boss. No one was able to touch their Boss's rank.

Anyway, in this period of time, whenever someone from Lingtian Battle Team heard Li s.h.i.+yu's name, they would feel a chill down their spine. They were all afraid that Li s.h.i.+yu would catch them and asked them to become his guinea pig. Although Li s.h.i.+yu wouldn't harm them, he would stare at them intently with a crazy look in his eyes. It was scary.

Chen Yi'an never expected himself to meet the ultimate scary Boss just because he was looking for a JMC. Also, because of this Boss, he would be noticed by Li s.h.i.+yu and become a part of his experiment.

Sigh, let's have a moment of silence for Chen Yi'an.

Chen Yi'an didn't sense any signs of danger at all. When he heard Ling Lan asking about his big brother, she definitely knew of his big brother. Hence, he viewed her as his friend. He looked at Ling Lan's young face and felt that she must be younger than him. He felt that he should take care of her. He patted his chest and said, "Since you know my big brother, you are my friend too. If anyone in the logistics department dares to bully you, just tell them my name. If they still bully you, I'll teach them a lesson."

Chen Yi'an waved his fist to pretend that he was strong and to instill Ling Lan with some confidence in him.

Sob, he can finally protect someone. I am so touched! Chen Yi'an was filled with motivation. He realized that he had grown up to become someone that could protect people younger than him.

Big Brother, are you looking at me? I'm already all grown up now. I'm a man now. I can protect you just like how I protect… huh? What is this young man's name again?

Chen Yi'an suddenly realized that he didn't know what this young man was called. Did he not ask him? He remembered that he did. Was he too careless and didn't hear his reply? This must be the case. Why was he so negligent?

Chen Yi'an was upset with himself. He felt he owe this young man an apology. "Little brother, I'm sorry. I didn't hear your name just now. Can you repeat it? What is your name?"

Ling Lan was speechless. She didn't say what her name was. Was this idiot thinking too much?

She looked at Chen Yi'an's sincere eyes and knew that he really felt sorry for forgetting her name…

Sigh. Ling Lan noticed that she couldn't resist such puppy eyes. She said, "My name is Ling… Lan."

You should know who I am now, right? Ling Lan was waiting for Chen Yi'an to be shocked, but instead, she saw him looking down at his communicator. Han Xuya had sent a message to hurry Chen Yi'an after she noticed that he was not here yet. They couldn't handle the mecha operators that were rus.h.i.+ng to enter their base anymore.

"Ahh, it's already so late? d.a.m.n it!"

Chen Yi'an didn't hear Ling Lan's last word. He ran out. When he saw Ling Lan still standing on the spot, he said hurriedly, "Lin, hurry up. Second lieutenant Han can't handle the workload anymore. She needs our help. Hurry up."

Ling Lan noticed Chen Yi'an's agitation. She heard Han Xuya's anxious voice on the communicator so she knew that the JMC was in dire need of more manpower. She had nothing much to do currently so she decided to go over and take a look. If she could help them, she would.

Ling Lan cared a lot for the only two girls in the Lingtian Battle Team. If she didn't hear Han Xuya's agitated tone, she would not have followed Chen Yi'an.

The moment the two of them left the garden, a figure appeared at the other end of the road. He wore a silver mask on his face. His lips were pursed and he was frowning. He looked at the two people leaving thoughtfully.

"Qi Long and Zhao Jun are both humble-looking but smart people. Luo Lang is stupid. Rabbit treated the three of them better compared to the other people from Lingtian. I'm unhappy about this but it is the truth. I can't deny it. Compared to these three people, Ling Lan still had some guard against me. No, not only me, she treated other people the same way too. Now, another idiot has appeared. Rabbit let her guard down against him too…"

Li Lanfeng had a complicated look in his eyes. "I was wrong from the start."

His rabbit didn't like people who were scheming. He liked direct people. Li Lanfeng gave a bitter smile. Yes, he would prefer this kind of person too. It was too tiring to scheme against one another. If he saw someone like him, he would probably hate that person too.

Li Lanfeng was depressed. He wanted to look for Ling Lan because he had something to discuss with her. However, now, he didn't have the mood. He left the garden. The piece of paper in his hand was torn into pieces. He threw them on the ground.

After Li Lanfeng disappeared, another figure appeared at the spot where Ling Lan was meditating just now. He wore a mask too. However, it was a black mask.

He looked at Li Lanfeng's back view before turning to look at the direction where Ling Lan left. He frowned.

"Li Lanfeng… He is a dangerous person. Should I tell Lan'er?" Ling Xiao didn't have a good impression Li Lanfeng from the start. He felt that Li Lanfeng suppressed his emotions too much. He looked gentle and harmless but Ling Xiao saw through him. He knew that Li Lanfeng was a cunning person. No matter how he pretended, he would never become a positive person.

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and decided to give up on the thought. Ling Lan chose her own friends. She had to depend on herself to see through her friends. Moreover, since she had accepted them as her friends. Her daughter might already have the same opinion as him.

Forget it, they have their own lives to live. They need to experience certain things in order to grow up. No matter what the result was, he would support his daughter.

Ling Xiao sighed. He made his decision but he still hoped that his daughter would not be at any risk. Ling Xiao disappeared from the garden. It became peaceful again.

Ling Lan and Chen Yi'an quickly reached the JMC workplace. Before they entered the atrium, Chen Yi'an shouted, "Second Lieutenant Han, Second Lieutenant Luo, we are here."

Han Xuya's loud voice came from within. "Why are you so slow? Hurry up and enter room No. 3. Yuan Youyun is alone in the room. He is reaching his limit." There were three people in room No. 1 and No.2. However, there was only one person in room No. 3. He must be going crazy by now.

"Okay." Chen Yi'an immediately dashed to room No. 3. He called Ling Lan along.

Ling Lan entered room No. 3. She saw Yuan Youyun with a JMC headset in each hand. His back was facing the door. When he heard someone entering the door, he didn't look back and just said, "No. 9, No. 10. Choose one. Hurry up. Everyone is waiting."

They had thought only a portion of the mecha operators from each mecha clan would come. But instead, besides those important personals, all the mecha operators from each mecha clan wanted to visit their temporary base after seeing it. The order given by the command center was to satisfy the mecha clans as much as they could so Yuan Youyun couldn't stop them from entering.

Ling Lan sat on the seat nearest to her. The moment she wore the JMC headset, she saw the number of signals being sent in. She frowned. "So many people want to come in?"

"Yes. There is still some s.p.a.ce in the mecha holds so we can't reject them." Yuan Youyun just finished directing two mecha operators so he replied without thinking too much.

Hmm, this voice sounded familiar. Is it someone he knew? Yuan Youyun remembered Luo Chao and Han Xuya saying that there would be two more logisticians arriving so he thought that this voice belonged to a logistician. He didn't have the time to think too much since he was really busy. Another application to enter had come in. He accepted the invitation.

Ling Lan looked at the empty mecha holds. The mecha operators that entered their base could see how many mecha holds there were left so they couldn't reject them. She pressed the call b.u.t.ton and started guiding the other mecha operators.

F**k, why am I being a JMC for them? Ling Lan scoffed. She decided that she must extort some more resources during the discussion. If not, she would be extremely unhappy.

At that moment, Ling Lan felt someone beside her. She looked up and saw her father sitting down on the seat next to her. He took the JMC headset and wore it.

Ling Lan was dumbfounded. "Daddy, why are you here?"

"There is a lack of manpower, right?" Ling Xiao winked at Ling Lan.

Ling Lan turned her head back. What a weird world. A G.o.d-cla.s.s operator c.u.m general of the Federation was actually lowering his status to be a JMC now. This would be a huge piece of news to the Federation if someone found out about it.

"Haha, don't worry. I would step in for your mother when she wanted to take a break in the past." Ling Xiao seemed happy that he managed to frighten his daughter.

Ling Lan was speechless. Mother, what other things did you do in the past? How could you allow the mighty and handsome General Ling Xiao to become like this? Also, father, don't you think that you are pampering my mother too much? You became an all-rounded superhuman for my mother. Whenever she needed you, you would help her.

With the help of Ling Xiao, the mecha operators were all properly guided into the base. Ling Lan looked at the dwindling empty mecha holds. She stood up and reminded Yuan Youyun, "We need to have some mecha holds for our own members. Reject any application to enter the base from now on."

"Yes."Yuan Youyun replied immediately.

He quickly past down the order to the rest of the JMCs. After he arranged everything, he suddenly remembered that the voice sounded really familiar. He got a shock. He turned back and saw Chen Yi'an lying on his chair weakly. The busy day had tired him out.

Chen Yi'an saw Yuan Youyun looking at him and thought that he wanted to find Ling Lan. He pointed to Ling Lan's seat. "He said he was busy and left first." Just now, Lin pulled a person and rushed out of the room. He left so quickly, Chen Yi'an didn't manage to see who the person was.

"Thank you for calling your friend over to help." Yuan Youyun felt that he must be mistaken. His boss is a busy person. Why would he come and help him?

"No problem. He had nothing on anyway." Chen Yi'an smiled. Lin was a good person. He helped him with his problem before leaving to do his own work. He must find him for help again next time.

Chen Yi'an had taken Ling Lan as his friend now. To him, it was normal for friends to help each other out.

Ling Lan didn't expect herself to be eyed on by this idiot after she helped him once out of kindness. Of course, Chen Yi'an had to escape from Li s.h.i.+yu first before he could come and look for her again.

By the time Ling Lan entered the meeting room, all the other regiment commanders of the other mecha clans were already there.

However, none of them felt surprised that she was late. They would do the same thing on their own base too. This type of action was to force some pressure on the other party so that they would be able to have more control over the discussion later.

The regiment commanders didn't know that Ling Lan was late because she went to be a JMC. She didn't have any intention of pressuring them. However, since they thought this way, Ling Lan decided to go along with it.
