It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

1423 No!

“This is...” Li Lanfeng was dumbstruck but he immediately understood what was happening. This should be a sign that his spectre abilities were evolving. Although he didn’t know what would be the new function, evolution was still a good thing.

But, the next second, he knew what it could do.

Deduction!

In this minor virtual world, a few routes started to map out in his head. These were routes he had deduced. However, this didn’t mean that all the paths were accurate and safe. A deduction was just an inference he made based on the situation. It might still be slightly different from the reality. Whether he was able to find the most accurate path out of all these routes depended on his own judgment.

This evolution just allowed him to visualize the best routes he could think of. It didn’t give him the final answer. He still had to rely on himself to make the ultimate decision.

This was an example of how different innate talents could be. Ling Lan’s Profound Insight was able to give her a clear answer right from the start. As it evolved slowly, it’s ability got scarier. Sometimes, even Ling Lan found it difficult to control her own innate talent.

Li Lanfeng didn’t have the time to slowly make his judgment. So many things were pushed towards his plate but all these happened within a blink of an eye, and Li Lanfeng needed to choose his route immediately.

There was no time to compare and stimulate the routes. Reality forced Li Lanfeng to make his decision the instant he saw the image.

In the end, he still relied on his instinct. He chose the path his intuition told him to.

This proved why Qi Long’s Animal Instinct was one of the best innate talents for mecha operators even though it sounded so unreliable. All the different divisions were fighting to get him.

During a crucial moment, there was no time for you to think too much. It was a life-or-death situation. In such situations, only innate talents like Animal Instinct would allow you to see an opportunity in an instant. Mecha operators that were able to sense danger could live longer. Mecha operators would only be useful if they were able to survive.

Li Lanfeng was very decisive. It could even be said that he was more decisive than 99.9999...% of the people in the world. If he had to admit that he was weaker than someone, it would only be Ling Lan.

Li Lanfeng was able to live well in the Li family and have such a good life because of his emotionless and cold-blooded heart.

There were many devious people in the world, especially in the Li family. They were born with this trait in their blood. They might lack hot-headed and naive people but people like Li Lanfeng? They came in masses.

But, as long as he was a human, he would have something he treasured. In that case, he would have a weakness, and that weakness could be easily used against him.

The people of the Li family more or less had things they treasured. For instance, the family head of the Li family viewed prospering and passing on the legacy of the Li family as his responsibility. In order to do this, he was willing to make numerous devious plans. He even started his plot more than twenty years ago just to increase the chance of it happening. However, this was the reason why Li Lanfeng was able to catch onto his weakness and used it as leverage to get what he wanted.

For instance, Li Shiyu treasured his brotherhood with Li Lanfeng. Thus, under Li Lanfeng’s guidance, he went on a path he would never have taken in the past. Not only that, having a military doctor as his younger brother added more security to his health. At the same time, Li Lanfeng managed to get rid of a powerful opponent fighting with him for the title of the family head.

Another example, Li Yingjie was the third-in-line successor of the Li family, but he grew up to be an impulsive and typical rich second-generation youth. Without Li Lanfeng’s secret doings and his plans to groom Li Yingjie into a big bully, do you believe that the Li family, who was the master of schemes, would raise such a naive and stupid successor?

Of course, we wouldn’t know if there were other members of the Li family who helped to push Li Lanfeng’s plans.

But, Li Lanfeng knew who had helped him. If he was able to use someone else’s hands to get rid of an opponent silently, he was happy to do it.

In Li Lanfeng’s heart, Li Yingjie was just a stranger that had the same surname as him. That was it.

What if they were brothers, so what? He was able to scheme against Li Shiyu, the person who loved and trusted him deeply, mercilessly. So, there was no way he would treat Li Yingjie, someone who he had never even seen before, any better.

What worsened the situation back then was the fact that Li Lanfeng didn’t care about anything, even himself. Hence, he would use himself as leverage in an argument too. He never showed mercy even when it came to plots about himself, so what kind of virtuous soul did he need to have to not treat others harsher than how he treated himself.

Back then, Li Lanfeng literally had no weakness. Hence, in the Li family, every step he made was stable and accurate, and in the end, he got what he wanted.

But, he was still unable to break the curse of fate. He met Ling Lan who introduced him to the beautiful world. But, simultaneously, Ling Lan gave him a fatal weakness.

Li Lanfeng tried his best to get rid of this weakness in the past, but he lost. He lost hard.

Li Lanfeng had a weakness now but it only surfaced when Ling Lan’s safety was in jeopardy. As long as it didn’t affect her safety, Li Lanfeng was still the same Li Lanfeng.

Obviously, everything said above had nothing to do with what was happening now. In that minor virtual world, Li Lanfeng was extremely calm and he made a decision in an instant.

It wasn’t an obvious route. There were at least four other routes that looked much safer than this one. However, Li Lanfeng was instinctively drawn to it when he first laid his eyes on it.

Almost at the same time, his mecha appeared in his virtual world. Then, multiple split screens were displayed in front of him showing each position he was supposed to move. The split screens were analysing the steps and methods he needed to operate his mecha as well as the success rate of these movements.

At this moment, Ling Lan, who was the first to make the move, had already evaded the mechas of the scavengers. She successfully passed the first set of mechas of the guards.

Ling Lan was invisible to the human eye. She also stopped all unnecessary heat production. But, the wind produced when she was flying past the mechas still existed.

Without a doubt, it was up to the piloting skills of the mecha operator to ensure that the winds generated wouldn’t alert the sensors on the guards.

This kind of close-distance phasing maneuver was definitely considered a ‘god-class’ piloting skill. Let’s not talk about ace mecha masters. Even imperial operators might not dare to bet that they would be successful.

Ling Lan’s mecha piloting skills were undoubtedly perfect. Under her control, the wind caused by her mecha was negligible. It wouldn’t even be noticed by the mecha that was just beside her. Thus, the ones further away wouldn’t detect her too.

Luo Lang followed behind Ling Lan closely.

Now, the Luo Lang in control wasn’t just the normal Luo Lang.

It was impossible for Luo Lang’s primary personality to keep up with Boss’s pace.

Luo Lang knew this and the calm personality knew this too. Hence, the moment Ling Lan moved, Luo Lang and the calm personality merged instantaneously.

The first answer the calm personality gave after merging was synchronised simulation.

They would copy Ling Lan’s piloting, his route, and his movements exactly to pass through.

“No!”

Suddenly, both Luo Lang and the calm personality realised a huge mistake.

Luo Lang couldn’t keep up with Boss’s hand speed. At the same time, his spiritual power was weaker too. It was only weaker by a little bit but this stopped him from completely copying Ling Lan’s movement.

Both of them knew what the result would be. They would be exposed.
