303: Rabbit? Leopard?

Li Lanfeng waited with bated breath for the intermediate mecha’s reply, but the other was unexpectedly silent. The combat room was thrust into a still silence.

Li Lanfeng’s heart drooped lower and lower as time passed — did this silence mean denial? Right then, an alert rang out suddenly inside his cockpit. Li Lanfeng clicked on the notification by reflex, and saw that it was an alert for a friend request. It was from someone called [Lingtian First-String], and there was a message included: Leopard, let’s talk some other time.

Li Lanfeng’s heart was instantly brimming with happiness. He tried to click on ‘accept’ immediately, but his initially extraordinarily nimble hands and fingers, which could execute really challenging advanced mecha warrior moves, were suddenly weak and slow. He tried tapping the screen three times in succession and actually failed every single time.

Li Lanfeng took in a deep breath, and then steadying his right hand with his left, he firmly pressed the ‘accept’ button.

When he saw the name [Lingtian First-String] appear on his friends list, Li Lanfeng felt his entire body go weak, his eyes beginning to prickle with warmth. He quickly raised his head, holding back the tears of joy which had been about to flow out …

After searching for so long, he had finally reconnected this friendship which had been interrupted for 7 years! Dear Heavens, even though you were the one to condemn me to a Phoenix Thrall Fate, at this time, I still want to thank you. Thank you for giving me this chance!

Zhao Jun saw the intermediate mecha log off without answering Li Lanfeng’s question and was instantly livid. “F*ck, how could he be so cold and unfeeling? Is it really that hard to answer yes or no?” Of course, he was just grumbling for the sake of it; after all, to answer or not to answer was the other’s right. Zhao Jun was just irritated on behalf of his good friend Li Lanfeng. Even though Li Lanfeng had never said anything about it to him, Zhao Jun still vaguely knew that Li Lanfeng had been looking for someone in the mecha world all this time over the past four years.

Zhao Jun’s disgruntled words shook Li Lanfeng from his joyful reverie. He quickly said, “No, Zhao Jun, he has already told me the answer …”

“Huh?” Zhao Jun was flummoxed. But he clearly had not heard the other say anything …

Li Lanfeng did not explain, only continuing on excitedly, “I’ll tell you about it later. Let us go!” That said, he left the private room.

Zhao Jun could only scratch his head helplessly. Since Li Lanfeng had said he would tell him later, then he had no choice but to wait for later. Although he really would like to know now, he could do nothing since his friend was verytight-lipped 1 . Fortunately, his patience had already been trained up by hanging out with Li Lanfeng over these past few years, otherwise he would certainly have been suffocated by his need to know. At this thought, Zhao Jun could only sigh softly and follow Li Lanfeng as he left the room.

Once Ling Lan saw that the other had accepted her friend request, she had logged off. It wasn’t that she did not want to catch up with the other, but her father had just logged off to hurry to the assessment venue. It would not be appropriate for her to linger here; after all, officially, she was on duty to accompany Ling Xiao.

Later on, after saying goodbye to her father, Ling Lan returned to her living quarters. At this time, Qi Long and the other five were still not back from their training classes yet. Ling Lan did not wait for them, instantly logging onto Mecha World. Ling Lan believed that that stupid leopard must definitely still be in Mecha World waiting for her.
