Chapter 739: Pei Shaoyun!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In reality, Little Four was rash and reckless because he underestimated how difficult Planet Azure’s missions could be. From the many missions distributed from the military, it would be difficult for there to be one in Planet Azure. Thus, once Little Four saw a mission popped up for Planet Azure, he was so excited that he didn’t think before he went and grabbed it.
Ling Lan knew very well she couldn’t blame Little Four for this mistake. If she wasn’t so eager to go to Planet Azure, Little Four wouldn’t have done anything like this. In the end, her plan to stalk Li Lanfeng might fail. She might even meet Li Lanfeng, which in turn, make her not able to continue her lie.
It was just that this mission was too much of a hassle. She actually needed to pretend to be a transfer student for a Scout Academy… adding both her lives together, she was almost 50 years old. An auntie level old lady actually needed to pretend to be a 10th grade teenage cadet? After thinking about this point, Ling Lan felt a little bit nauseous. She resisted the urge to drag Little Four out of her mindspace and ruthlessly give him beating on his little behind.
“This mission’s criteria are really specific. Was it specifically made for me? No, I came to Planet Azure really spontaneously just for Li Lanfeng. Taking this mission was really only a coincidence. It seems that this mission wasn’t supposed to be given to me. Then, who is it supposed to be for?” Ling Lan hugged the soft and fluffy Little White while sitting on a chair in deep thought.
“Boss, after we accepted this mission, the military sent out another similar mission. Then, it was instantly accepted by someone.” Little Four felt that Ling Lan was thinking about this and quickly added.
“Do you know who accepted it?” Ling Lan asked.
Little Four raised his head proudly, “Of course. When I saw another similar mission being sent out, I made a note to pay attention to it.”
He suddenly began to make faces, “Boss, it was a person from Flying Dragon Special Forces from your mission to activate your battle team. However, I didn’t continue to dig deeper to find out who it actually was.” The Flying Dragon Special Forces had a large group of hackers. Although Little Four would mess with them when he had free time, this time was official business. Little Four still remembered Boss had told him to not make too big of a scene. Thus, he didn’t go too deep into the system of the Flying Dragon Special Forces.
“Since they have made their own arrangements, then we’ll just take it as a free vacation.” Hearing that the military had added another similar mission, Ling Lan felt relieved instantly. She decided that if the other person could complete the task successfully, then she would only be there as a bystander. Of course, if the other person was to be met with some difficulties, then she would help out. After all, she also accepted the mission. She couldn’t do nothing and just take merits from the other person’s hard work.
Ling Lan took a look at her mission details. The military had sent her a forged identity document. The document would prove that she was a descendant of a small family with a weak-minded personality, unable to continue in the two star Central Scout Academy and could only be transferred to the three star Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure, and she was supposed to be in the 10th grade.
“This personality is really different from my own, the difference is like between heaven and earth.” Ling Lan smiled bitterly. She sighed at the fact that her luck wasn’t that good. It should be known that the identity was given to them randomly by the mainframe.
“Not sure what kind of identity the mainframe would give the person from the Flying Dragon Special Forces,” Ling Lan thought.
“Boss, do you want me to go find out?” Little Four quickly jumped out and was ready to do a good job to retake his position as the top underling of his Boss.
Ling Lan angrily glared at him, “Stop making a scene. We must not cause too much havoc. That would be the best situation.”
“But, if there are only two 10th graders transferring, then it’s possible for the other person to easily find out who I am.” Ling Lan frowned as she realized this issue.
Hearing Ling Lan’s concerns, Little Four immediately went through the list of this year’s transfer students for the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure. He discovered there were actually 20 students transferring this year to Planet Azure. It turns out, in the past few years, many students got into better schools after going to the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure. There were even people who had gotten into military academies. This made a continuous stream of 10th graders coming and going from the Central Scout Academy. If it wasn’t for the fact that the higher-ups had made a rule that a Central Scout Academy could only have 20 transfer students in a year, it was possible that the other students from other scout academies and those who had money and some family background would try their best to be transferred to the Central Scout Academy.
When Ling Lan heard Little Four telling her about this, she knew that the other person wouldn’t find her so easily among the 18 other students. Ling Lan was relieved and thus would continue to regard this mission as a free vacation. She even felt pity for the two students who were substituted by her and the person from the Flying Dragon Special Forces…
The Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure was the largest Scout Academy on the planet. In the past few years, the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure had made great achievements. For example, 11 years ago, they broke the record for number of obstacle mission taken by a Central Scout Academy. Also, 8 years ago, one student managed to get into the top class First Men’s Military Academy, causing an uproar.
Afterwards, the students at the Central Scout Academy were like the coming of spring where they continuously got into famous academies within the Federation. There were even many students who got into military academies. Although those military academies were normal ones and weren’t the top ones in the Federation, they were still military academies. After graduating from the military academies, then entering a division, these students would have a larger head-start than the common students.
As the performance of the school started increasing, it made the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure an academy which everyone wanted to go to. The young cadets who missed out on other Central Scout Academies, would fight for these 20 spots every single year.
Today, the Central Scout Academy had opened its doors very early in the day. It wasn’t to welcome returning cadets as those cadets had already arrived at the academy three day prior to its opening, nor it was to welcome first year cadets as those cadets had already finished filling out their documents for the academy. It was to welcome the twenty 10th grade transfer students.
There were already a few people standing in front of the huge door of the academy. It was the 10th grade valedictorian, Yu Zhengyuan, and his team members.
“There’s actually no one in sight. It seems that all of the transfer students this time are quite arrogant.” One member said with discontent.
Those who could be one of the 20 transfer students were definitely not common folk. They either had some sort of ability or their families had a lot of money or power. Every year, these 20 transfer students would always cause an uproar among the factions within the academy. At least, in the past three years, the 10th grade valedictorian had been taken by these outsiders each year.
Another member thought about this and couldn’t help but look their captain, Yu Zhengyuan, with a worried look on his face.
Yu Zhengyuan smiled lightly, “If they are stronger than me, then they can take it, as long as they don’t hinder my application to a military academy.” For Yu Zhengyuan, being valedictorian was just the icing on the cake. He didn’t care whether he lost the position or not. Back then, he had already set his goal on entering one of the top military academies. He knew it would be a hard goal, but he wouldn’t give up for him as he wanted to follow in the footsteps of his idol.
The reason he didn’t care about the title of valedictorian was because his idol was not the valedictorian when he had gotten into the First Men’s Military Academy.
“Oh, there’s movement!” One member’s ears suddenly began to wiggle. If anyone from Lingtian Battle Clan was there, they would know that this person definitely had awakened an innate talent that had something to do with his ears.
After the member said that, nine hover cars in a line formation quickly flew towards them from afar. They immediately stopped directly opposite of them, where the hover car stop was at. Nine people stepped out from the cars one after the other, with each car having one person stepping out from each of them.
“They either don’t come or come in droves.” Seeing the situation, one member couldn’t help but snort coldly. It seemed that the cadets at the academy weren’t friendly towards the transfer students.
“Stop talking. Let’s finish our mission first.” Yu Zhengyuan stretched his arms and legs, then with his hands in his pockets, he walked towards the nine individuals.
“Transfer students?” Yu Zhengyuan walked in front of the nine individuals and asked.
The nine of them were originally using their expressions to fight against each other, neither of them bowing to anyone or even saying hello. After hearing someone walking towards them and then asking whether they were transfer students, they knew that these people were sent by the academy to welcome them. They shouted almost in unison, “Yes!”
However, after answering, the nine of them began to glare at each other angrily once again. Everyone one of them were recalcitrant which made Yu Zhengyuan feel helpless.
“Um, you guys should go to the academy to register. If you don’t make it there on time…” Yu Zhengyuan half-smiled and only reminded them. Even if they wanted to see who was more capable, they should still first register their identity as a student in the Central Scout Academy on Planet Azure.
After receiving Yu Zhengyuan’s reminder, the nine of them no longer cared about each other. Yu Zhengyuan then told them one of his team members would lead them to register themselves. There were still 11 people who hadn’t arrived, so they still needed to continue to wait at the door.
The nine individuals disappeared after passing through the door of the academy. Right after, another five hover cars arrived. This time, the atmosphere wasn’t as bad as before. One of the transfer students had a warm and sincere personality. When he knew Yu Zhengyuan was thye one who would lead them to register themselves, he began to happily call him Elder Brother Yu, which instantly made Yu Zhengyuan’s team members warm up to him.
Seeing this, Yu Zhengyuan shook his head. Warming up to someone without really knowing them was not a good idea, but he couldn’t tell that to his team members now, he could only wait to remind them once they return back to their home.
Before Yu Zhengyuan lead them in, he heard the sound of another hover car coming from afar. Another hover car stopped at the stop. Once the door opened, a small white ball jumped out from the hovering car…
Everyone was entranced by this scene in front of them. Then, they saw a thin body crawling out of the hover car with a backpack on his back…
Crawl? Everyone instantly had a confused expressions on their faces. Afterwards, they saw that person bending over as he pulled out a large luggage bag from the car. They instantly were even more perplexed. Is that guy a transfer student? He seems so weak.
The person used all of his might before finally pulling out the big luggage bag and then stood up straight. The white ball suddenly jumped up and sat on top of the person’s shoulder. At that moment, everyone realized that the white ball was actually an unknown living organism.
Is that a pet? Is that person not a transfer student? If so, why did he come off his hover car here? Did he get off at the wrong stop? Everyone had question marks floating above their heads. It should be known that they had never seen a Scout Academy cadet who took their pets to school before.
That youngster, who still had a baby face, stood there with his fully red face from using all of his strength, automatically catching the attention of everyone. He was a handsome and intelligent-looking boy. Although his face made them unable to accurately pinpoint his gender, everyone still automatically made their own assumptions on what his gender was.
The person wiped the sweat off his forehead. As he raised his head, he saw Yu Zhengyuan and the others. His eyes flickered instantly and immediately moved the large luggage bag towards them.
Yu Zhengyuan couldn’t endure watching him struggling any longer, he turned to signal at his team member. His team member quickly went up to help. He originally looked down on the person for having such a weak and frail body, but after taking the luggage bag, he understood why he was struggling so much. The large luggage bag was actually around 100 to 150 kilograms, arousing his curiosity of what’s inside.
Of course, this kind of weight was not an issue for him. However, he guessed that this young man’s strength was low. Looking at his weak and frail body, he also knew that perhaps the young man was also lacking in places other than strength.
“A transfer student?” As that person smiled shyly, Yu Zhengyuan’s voice also became much more mild-mannered.
Hearing this, the young man nodded. Seemingly afraid that Yu Zhengyuan wouldn’t believe him, he wanted to take out the transfer documents from his backpack. Seeing the young man’s clumsy movements and awkward expression, Yu Zhengyuan pitied him. He quickly said, “You don’t have to take it out now. You’ll be fine if you take out at the registrar office in the academy.”
Hearing this, the young man scratched his head shyly and smiled timidly. He was innocent to the point where no one would be able to refuse if he asked for something.
Yu Zhengyuan softened up and actually introduced himself, “I am a 10th grade student, Yu Zhengyuan. What’s your name?” This difference in attitude towards the young man made the other transfer students who hadn’t left have weird looks on their faces.
“Hello Elder Brother Yu, my name is Pei Shaoyun!” Even when the young man said his name, he still said it shyly. This made Yu Zhengyuan become somewhat worried about him. How could this person pass the welcoming event prepared for these transfer students. Yu Zhengyuan knew very well that the welcoming event was prepared to take these transfer students down a notch. Now, he hoped that his fellow cadets would be less merciless after seeing how harmless Pei Shaoyun was.
At that moment, the member who was holding Pei Shaoyun’s large luggage bag, had some questions and asked, “Shaoyun, what’s in the bag? Why is it so heavy?” The young man seemed to be so harmless and weak. This made the member lower his guard, causing him to use Pei Shouyun’s given name when he was calling him, making them seem closer than before.
Pei Shaoyun scratched his head and said timidly, “I like to design miniature things, so I brought a set of tools and electronics for making things. Those are indeed very heavy. I’m really sorry for burdening you.”
“Oh, so that’s why.” In their Central Scout Academy, there were many cadets who liked to make miniature things. They also had different kinds of tools. However, there were definitely no tools that were this heavy.
“Hey Little Jin, you will help Shaoyun register and then lead him to his accommodation,” Yu Zhengyuan said. He thought that if he let Pei Shaoyun drag the luggage bag by himself, it might take him forever before he finished registering.
“Okay captain.” This team member whose name was Little Jin did not complain about the order Yu Zhengyuan had given him. When he first saw Pei Shaoyun, he could already feel that this weak young man had an affinity with him.
Just like that, Little Jin led Pei Shaoyun and five other transfer students to the registrar office to register.
