Lingtian Battle Clan (Virtual World)

Boss Lan was a responsible boss and an even more competent parental
battle clan leader. Following such a boss, he would never have to worry
about being pushed out someday to be a sacrificial scapegoat. Alright,
the bits and pieces which had happened over this period of time had
caused him to become like Qi Long and the others, beginning to idolise
Boss Lan ...

Meanwhile, Qi Long and Luo Lang were the primary and
secondary fighters of the team, the strongest in the team in both mecha
combat and physical skills combat, but of course they were incomparable
to Boss Lan. Back when the New Cadet Regiment had fought against Leiting
 in the arena, they had been two of the five representatives. Among
them, Luo Lang defeated the third strongest in Leiting, while Qi Long
fought on even terms with the second strongest of Leiting, only losing
unfortunately in the end. All this information had been conveyed to him
by Li Shiyu. He had put his entire mind into modifying mecha back then
so he was not very clear on the various things that had happened in the
military academy, including that arena battle.

Xie Yi was very
warm and passionate. He was the first among the old members of the team
to take the initiative to get to know Chang Xinyuan better. Friendly and
 cheerful, they got along very well. But Xie Yi's combat ability was not
 weaker than Luo Lang's by much. Typically, in battle clans, the main
and secondary fighters would be stronger while the rest of the fighters
would be a bracket lower. However, in Ling Lan's battle clan, almost
everybody's strength levels were very close. With Xie Yi's strength,
even if he might not be able to be the primary fighter in another battle
 clan, he more than qualified to be a secondary fighter. But in Ling
Lan's clan, due to the fierce competition with rivals as plentiful as
clouds, Xie Yi could only be one of the two wings of the team.

Han
 Jijyun normally looked very austere, as if hard to get along with, and
his eyes always shone with a calculative light. Chang Xinyuan had always
 felt rather nervous around these kinds of strategist-type people,
afraid to approach them. But whenever Boss Lan was absent or sitting
idly by, Han Jijyun would automatically take responsibility for the
command of the team, develop tactics, and make arrangements to keep the
team operations running smoothly.

During the time they had lost
contact with Boss Lan, Han Jijyun had proved that he was well qualified
for the role. Back when they had no way of obtaining certain news
regarding Boss Lan, he was the one who daringly decided to use the set
of false data they had agreed on at the start. Despite part of it being
due to Chang Xinyuan's suggestion, after learning more about hacker
abilities later, Chang Xinyuan had greatly admired Han Jijyun's boldness
 and decisiveness, as well as the other's deep and unwavering faith in
Boss Lan ...

Meanwhile, Lin Zhong-qing was usually very plain and
unobtrusive, perhaps even a little like an invisible person, always
silently doing his things. At first, Chang Xinyuan had somewhat
overlooked him. But then, the team went on the move. Every time Boss Lan
 wanted an update on the materials remaining for the team, he would
definitely ask Lin Zhong-qing. This let Chang Xinyuan know that Lin
Zhong-qing was the head logistician of the team.

The facts proved
that Lin Zhong-qing carried out his role as logistician perfectly.
Whenever the team needed something, he would be like the legendary
Doraemon, bringing out resource after resource to meet the needs of
everyone on the team. It was clear to see that he had a very thorough
understanding of each and every member of the team, knowing what they
might need. In particular, what surprised Chang Xinyuan was that
although he, Li Shiyu, and Li Lanfeng had just joined the team, Lin
Zhong-qing had been able to figure out some of their habits within this
short amount of time. From there, he had actually been able to also
prepare some of the materials they needed ...

Li Shiyu had joined
the team with him, but the other was already familiar with Qi Long and
the others. At first, when Chang Xinyuan had not known their true
identities, he could still tell they already knew each other in real
life just by their interactions. Li Shiyu was somewhat aloof — this may
just be the characteristic of a dux. Chang Xinyuan did not think there
was anything wrong with it; it was normal for those with talent to be a
little prideful. Perhaps because he too was a researcher like himself,
Li Shiyu was also very straightforward and innocent, maybe even a little
 soft in Chang Xinyuan's eyes. That was why he was always unknowingly
falling for Boss Lan's verbal manipulations, having to follow whatever
Boss Lan said in the end.

Perhaps finding Li Shiyu a little
pitiful, Chang Xinyuan often chatted with the other. Perhaps because
they were both newcomers to the team, or perhaps because they were both
researchers, and maybe also because the other could sense his benign
intentions, the two of them got along very well, always having something
 to talk about. This was also how he had found out more about Qi Long
and the others. During their conversations, they would often talk about
their teammates as well as their exploits and achievements.

The
one Chang Xinyuan could not puzzle out was Li Lanfeng. The other had a
great attitude, often seen with a warm and gentle smile. He was always
extremely respectful towards everyone in the team and seemed easy-going.
 However, Chang Xinyuan just did not dare to get too close to him. For
some reason, the other felt unsafe, without the sense of stable security
 Li Shiyu gave him. This might be because Li Lanfeng was a spectre,
having an innate dangerous air about him. Chang Xinyuan could only use
this reason to reassure himself.

In short, Chang Xinyuan had been
very happy during this period of time spent with the team. Having been
oppressed by the Thunder King for three years, constantly lonely and
depressed, Chang Xinyuan treasured the happiness he felt in this brief
period of time. He could not bear to lose this again — he really wanted
to join the team and become a permanent member, not just a passing
guest. Thus, Chang Xinyuan had spent these past few days in a daze,
afraid that his hopes would be nothing but a mirage 1 .
