Chapter 1054 Crazy Person!

The leader from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee looked at the time on this communicator. They didn’t take more than 20 seconds to complete everything from debugging to equipping the mecha with seemingly no errors. This time included the time they took to find the command. It was definitely a new record for mecha engineers.

Was this the result of letting mecha operators be trained as logisticians? What did this represent? During a battle, their speed of preparation would be much faster than their opponents.

The leader gasped when he thought of this. If this was possible to be replicated in every mecha operator, it would change the result of the entire war.

The leader felt his heart pounding furiously. His face turned red as he had an ambitious thought in his mind.

This was definitely a new discovery. If he reported this to the military and let them spread this training to the rest of the military… he would gain huge merit.

However soon, the senior colonel calmed down. He thought about it carefully and then smiled bitterly.

This was just his wishful thinking. He couldn’t even think of a division which would have the courage to send an ace mecha clan to become the logisticians of another ace mecha clan.

Only 1% of the mecha clans in the Federation were ace mecha clans. This meant that among 100 mecha clans, only one was an ace mecha clan.

The Federation was situated in the center of the human world. It had ample resources and its land ma.s.s was huge. Hence, many surrounding nations were envious of them. If they could take over a part of the Federation’s land, they would be able to increase the wealth and power of their nation tremendously. They had nothing to lose if they lose but everything to gain if they won. Hence, the borders of the Federation were always at a state of constant war.

The endless war forced the military to treasure every single ace mecha clan they had. On the battlefield, an ace mecha clan was the most powerful unit. It could determine the result of the battle so why would they want to waste an ace mecha clan to become logisticians for another ace mecha clan? Plus, no matter how fast an ace mecha clan prepared themselves, they were just a small part of the entire war. It wouldn’t really affect the big picture. All in all, the loss of sending an ace mecha clan for logistician training outweigh the gains.

If he brought up this suggestion, his superior might throw his papers back at him. It was just his whimsical thoughts, basically him just grasping for any straw that could help him gain the favour of his superiors again. The senior colonel calmed down again after he thought it through, and his conclusion was that he was being too hopeful for that idea to work in the real world.

He gathered his thoughts and looked at Zhou Yongnan who had a darkened expression. He said indifferently, “Senior Colonel Zhou, you

lost.”

Zhou Yongnan’s expression kept changing. However, he was still unwilling to give up hope. He gritted his teeth and said, “There are still other logistician skills we can compete in. We won’t admit defeat until we are defeated in every single one of them.”

The mecha operators from 250 Ace Mecha Clan started jeering

Only the new mecha operators kept quiet. All their faces looked worse for wear. They were unwilling to give up. They were still hopeful that they could change the situation around.

Li Lanfeng smiled as he raised his head to look at them. A cold light flashed pa.s.sed his eyes. “Let’s continue then.”

He didn’t expect the other party to admit defeat with just one match. But, it won’t take too long for them to be completely defeated. Plus, these new mecha operators only went through two sets of training: Mecha engineer and a cook.

From the instance they stepped foot onto their base, Li Lanfeng didn’t even have the faintest thought of letting these new mecha operators enter 250 Ace Mecha Clan for real.

What he needed to do now was to step on their faces so hard that they would feel too embarra.s.sed to stay at 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Even if they did stay behind, they would act cautiously and listen to them, never to be able to raise their heads again.

Everyone came to the clean and luxurious cafeteria of the 250 Ace Mecha Clan. The cooks had already prepared the ingredients and were already waiting for them at the front of the kitchen.

Just like the last match, the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee set the compet.i.tion. It was to cook the best dish they could under a limited time. The four contestants would cook at the same time, and in the end the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee would taste their dishes to see whose dish was more delicious.

The result of the battle was decided from the start. Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng’s quick and agile knife skills and their smooth cooking skills amazed the people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee from the moment they started to cook. When a fragrant and beautiful dish appeared in front of them, they even thought that the two people in front of them were head chefs of a five-star hotel instead of mecha operators.

On the other hand, their opponents’ performances were just horrible. Their dishes were either overcooked or burnt. The most they could do was to ensure that their food was cooked. They were unable to have any resemblance of taste in their dish.

Zhou Yongnan and the people on his side went pale.

Was this a mecha operator? Was this still a mecha operator from a mecha clan? They were already world-cla.s.s chefs! Although they were their opponents, their stomach started rumbling uncontrollably when they smelled the fragrance from their dishes.

Yang Mingzhi and Li Lanfeng put down their ladle at the same time and looked at Zhou Yongnan.

“What do you think? Do you still want to continue?” Li Lanfeng coldly asked.

Yang Mingzhi took a towel from the side and wiped his hands slowly. He smiled and said, “I haven’t cooked in a long time. My cooking skills might have deteriorated. Hope you don’t mind.”

Deteriorated? The people from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee had already started devouring the dishes. They were crying in their hearts. Compared to these delicious dishes in front of them, their food in their cafeteria was basically pig feed. They must complain about their cooks when they went back. They would ask them to learn their cooking skills again.

They couldn’t help but get envious of the mecha operators of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. They were so fortunate to stay at this base. The mecha operators already cooked so well. This meant that the real cooks must be even better.

“Major General Yang and Senior Colonel Li won!” The difference was too obvious. As the judge, the leader from the Disciplinary and Investigation Committee couldn’t help Zhou Yongnan even if he wanted to.

Li Lanfeng slowly walked towards Zhou Yongnan. He stopped in front of Zhou Yongnan and flicked his sleeve. He seemed to be dusting his clothes. Then, he said softly, “I said that this is the tradition of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. If you want to stay here, you must follow it. No one is an exception, including us.”

“If you can’t do it, go back to where you came from. Stop embarra.s.sing yourself here!” Li Lanfeng didn’t show any mercy to the other party this time.

Li Lanfeng’s att.i.tude infuriated the senior colonel beside Zhou Yongnan. He exploded in anger. “Go back?! Go back my a.s.s!”

“What tradition is this? This is absurd! Only a crazy person would make such a weird tradition. Crazy! Lunatic! He must be a lunatic!” The senior colonel felt that he was unjustly humiliated so he didn’t think about what he said.

The entire cafeteria instantly turned silent. The soldiers from 250 Ace Mecha Clan, who were still smiling a second ago, turned cold. Everyone glared at them. Their gaze was distant and there was even a hint of killing intent in it.

Zhou Yongnan was shocked. His comrade must have touched their bottom line.

“I wanted to let you go freely but… I think I was being too kind.” Li Lanfeng narrowed his eyes and slowly smile. Zhou Yongnan’s heart stopped beating when he saw the smile. An unprecedented sense of danger could be felt around him.
