Chapter 690: Lay Eggs?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Little Blossom was also forced back to the learning space due to Ling Lan’s spiritual power going out of control. He didn’t even have the time to say goodbye to his master.

Ling Lan’s mindscape was in a mess. Her spiritual power had turned into a huge whirlpool.

Ling Lan didn’t lose her consciousness. The moment she realized that something was amiss, she compressed her conscious until it was very small and hid it in a corner of her mindscape. Then, she used the small amount of spiritual power she could still control to encase her conscious and prevent it from being torn apart by the whirlpool.

Even if her mindscape was destroyed and she had to become a vegetable temporarily, she would still have the chance of waking up as long as a part of her conscious was still intact. Ling Lan would fight for every opportunity to live. Hence, she immediately prepared for the worst when she noticed that things were going out of hand.

After doing all this, Ling Lan didn’t just sit there and wait for her death. She had already planned her route of retreat so she could focus on her current situation calmly. Ling Lan was clear that if she started getting anxious, she would be dead.

Ling Lan didn’t waste her time and try to gain control over her spiritual power. Since it was already out of control, she should keep the remaining amount of spiritual power she still had and slowly wait for an opportunity to fight back.

Ling Lan quickly noticed that the uncontrollable spiritual power didn’t harm her body. Her mindscape also showed no signs of getting destroyed. The whirlpool was just attracting all the energy from its surroundings.

Since this is her spiritual world, the spiritual energy it was attracting belonged to her, right? Ling Lan was puzzled. However, she found the answer soon. She felt another force merging with her spiritual power. Her spiritual power should have caused havoc in her mindscape but for some reason, an equilibrium was achieved.

This seems familiar——the black hole! No, it should be the force released when a black hole formed! How did it manage to merge with her spiritual power?

Ling Lan didn’t understand what was happening. No one would be able to explain the situation to her too. She wasn’t sure what would happen if her spiritual power merged with the force of the black hole. Would this be a problem? Ling Lan tried to control her spiritual power to determine if it was any problems with it but her spiritual power just ignored her. It stubbornly continued with the merge and seemingly had a good time interacting with it.

Although it seemed harmless now, Ling Lan was still on her guard. After her spiritual power finished merging, the whirlpool started calming down.

The danger came suddenly and disappeared suddenly too. Ling Lan was speechless. She started examining her mindscape and realized, to her surprise, a white and smooth egg had appeared!

Egg? Egg!

Ling Lan tapped the egg with a dumbfounded expression. The egg trembled in her mindscape. It seemed to be trembling from the itchiness. Maybe it was trying to greet her.

“Master, did you lay an egg while I was away? Will it be my little master when it hatches?” Little Blossom had been worried about his master. When he noticed that he could enter her mindscape again, he immediately jumped in. The first thing he saw was a white egg. He experienced a series of emotions shocked, then excited, then a sense of release. Sob, I finally have a little master now. I am no longer the youngest. I can bully little master now.

Little Blossom kept being bullied by Little Four. When he tried to retaliate, Little Four told him that younger people should be bullied by older people. For instance, Ling Lan bullied him so it was right for him to bully Little Blossom. Little Blossom got tricked. He thought that this was the norm.

Ah, let’s have a moment of silence for the future little brother of Little Blossom. Although he was nowhere in sight, his evil brother was already waiting for him.

The reason why Little Blossom thought that Ling Lan laid the egg was that Little Four taught him that laying eggs was a way of generating offsprings. Little Blossom couldn’t swallow data so his knowledge came from what people taught him. Hence, he assumed his master was able to lay eggs…

Ling Lan was speechless. Lay eggs? Did she lay an egg? She didn’t even know where the egg came from… since it appeared in her mindscape, she did feel like she laid it. Ling Lan quickly dismissed the thought and reminded herself that she was human. I almost got influenced by Little Blossom and thought that I was an animal.

As expected, Little Blossom got beaten up by Ling Lan. Little Blossom finally experienced the family abuse that Little Four kept talking about. Sob, master, hurry up and lay more eggs. Little Blossom wants to bully little master! Although Ling Lan emphasized that she couldn’t lay eggs, Little Blossom still believed she could.

No matter how much Ling Lan hit him, Little Blossom remained stubborn. Ling Lan suddenly missed Little Four. Previously, she felt that Little Four was not very sharp and used proverbs the wrong way. However, compared to Little Blossom, Little Four seemed extremely sharp. He was able to give her some consolation during critical times and not make her even more frustrated. People needed to be compared to show how important they were.

Ling Lan vented her frustration and managed to calm down. She used her spiritual power to examine the egg. Maybe because Ling Lan’s spiritual power and the egg came from the same source, she was able to successfully see what was happening inside the egg.

There were no signs of life inside the egg. It was filled with spiritual energy. The spiritual energy swirled around the center of the egg. Because the spiritual energy being too dense, it formed a hard surface that made it look like an egg. In actual fact, it was just a spiritual energy shell formed due to the density of the spiritual energy.

The spiritual power core at the center of the egg was extremely dense. If the density of her spiritual energy in her mindscape was 1, the density of the spiritual power core was 1000. If the spiritual energy in the core was released, mindscape could increase by a thousand times.

Ling Lan was worried and elated. She was elated because her spiritual power had gotten stronger and worried that there would be a hidden danger. If this spiritual power didn’t listen to her and got out of control, her mindscape would be destroyed.

Just as Ling Lan was feeling complicated, Little Blossom exclaimed in surprise, “Master, your spiritual power is so low.”

Ling Lan got a shock. She heard noises coming from the real world. Her friends had woken up. She had left the spiritual world unknowingly and returned back to her own body.

“What level is my spiritual power now?” Ling Lan was unable to sense her spiritual power because of the series of events that had happened.

“At most level three,” Little Blossom replied. His boss’s spiritual power was much weaker than before.

“Very good!” Ling Lan replied in satisfaction. That meant that when she entered the black hole again, this would not happen. She didn’t want to experience it another time, It was too frightening.

“Boss, did you level up again?” The moment Ling Lan opened her eyes, she saw Qi Long’s face right in front of her. He seemed to be stunned.

“What is the matter?” Ling Lan pushed his head away. She was not used to having someone so close to her.

Everyone was looking at her with the same dumbfounded expression. Ling Lan looked at them coldly but she noticed their lips were twitching. Li Lanfeng passed Ling Lan a mirror.

Ling Lan took it curiously. Li Lanfeng wanted her to look at herself. She looked at the mirror and was shocked. Was this her?

Li Lanfeng noticed the disbelief in her eyes and nodded. Ling Lan slapped herself and released some of the spiritual energy from the spiritual power core. She stared at her team members again. Everyone lowered their heads in fright.

Ling Lan retracted her gaze with satisfaction and continued their discussion. She didn’t expect such consequences to occur after her spiritual power was lowered… Ling Lan wanted to cry. As expected, she was more suitable to be a cold and dominating boss.

After the fleet passed through the black hole, they entered an unknown planetary sector. Ling Lan suddenly missed Little Four. If he was here, she would be able to get some information about this planetary sector. Ling Lan was uncertain if this planetary sector had something to do with his origins, the Mandora galaxy.

The planets in this planetary sector were much further away from each other. Ling Lan only saw two planets after one week of traveling. One of the planets was mist-like. They were mock planets formed by the accumulation of meteorites. There was no use exploring such planets as there were no resources on it. These planets were dangerous too. No one knew when those meteorites would explode or move away from each other.

The other planet was covered in ice. Based on past research, this planet was just a huge ice ball. There was nothing else besides ice. Although it was less valuable than those planets with signs of life, the people from Caesar were still elated that they found this planet first.

The people from the Federation were frustrated that Caesar found the first planet. However, this feeling didn’t last for long. Very soon, they found a new planet that was more valuable than the ice planet. Yet, at the same time, it was more dangerous for them to explore this planet.

The starship that Ling Lan was at, announced to everyone that they have reached their destination. Everyone started getting busy.

To ensure the safety of the starship, it would not land immediately on the surface of the planet. It would send a batch of mecha operators to the planet first to ensure that it was safe to land. Only then would the starship land and start unloading all the pieces of equipment the mecha clans needed to build a camp on the planet.

250 Mecha Clan also had a scouting team to find a safe spot for their camp.

There were three to four mecha clans on a single starship. So 250 Mecha Clan only had two ejection ports for themselves. It was half of what other mecha clans had but since they were much smaller in size, Ling Lan and her team members didn’t find it unfair.

The scouting team of 250 Mecha Clan consisted of Ling Lan, the ten teams team leaders, and a few of the most powerful team members within these ten teams. There was a total of 24 people. This was the smallest scouting team among the mecha clans but it was the strongest too.

These 24 people were all ace mecha masters. There were real ace mecha masters both in title and ability. Currently, they were at their past peak form. As for Yang Mingzhi and Liu Furong, after Ling Lan’s harsh training, they not only managed to regain their ability, they were even stronger than their past peak form.

Yang Mingzhi even felt that he was close to becoming an imperial mecha master. This was a surprise to him. He had been stuck at the ace level for close to 20 years. He couldn’t break through the last hurdle which made him lose confidence in becoming an imperial mecha operator. The events that happened in his life also impacted him greatly and made him gave up entirely. He never expected that he would achieve a breakthrough so easily under the lead of his young regiment commander.

Liu Furong’s improvement was not as obvious but he also felt his ability increasing. He found hope again. In order to become stronger, he didn’t mind becoming the next Qi Long.

The logisticians in charge of these 24 mecha operators were nervous but properly examined their equipment and weapons. Behind them, Lin Zhong-qing and a few others were watching them intently. They had stopwatches in their hands and were observing the speed of the logisticians. Some of them were writing something on a piece of paper.

The logisticians tensed up when they saw this. They didn’t want their names to be written on the paper. Past experiences told them that once their name was on it, they would have to spend their next month in hell.

Lin Zhong-qing and his four assistants learned well from Ling Lan. They liked to experiment with what they learned from Ling Lan on the logisticians.

Under such circumstances, the logisticians reached a breakthrough and managed to hasten their speed by more than 10 seconds. This allowed 250 Mecha Clan to be the first mecha clan to send its scouting team out of the starship.
