Yan Three looked at the 15kg weight jacket in his hand and glanced at Xie Yi and Qi Long who were running furiously. He compared the two weight jackets and realized that they were wearing the 250kg weight jackets that was meant for team leaders. He was stunned. ‘Is the term ‘team leaders’ referring to all the team leaders in the mecha clan, including the team leaders of the logisticians?’

Yan Three was totally confused. Ever since he walked out of the medical department, everything he saw was totally different than what he had expected. 250 was a normal ace mecha clan but the people inside the mecha clan were abnormal, even those titled ace mecha clans couldn’t be compared to this mecha clan.

‘Is this really just a normal ace mecha clan?’

Yan Three didn’t have the time to think further, as he was forced by those fierce guards to the training ground. The members of Evil Wind started their run. At first, the people of Evil Wind thought that carrying a 15kg weight while running for two hours was not a problem. However, after half an hour, they started to experience the effects of the extra 15kg. At first, they didn’t feel it but as time went by, they felt their bodies getting heavier and heavier.

One hour passed. Most of the mecha operators were running with heavy footsteps while panting heavily. Sweat dripped down their forehead, drenching their whole bodies. Only Yan Three and a few other people who had reached the optimal peak of Qi-Jin were still able to run properly.

“Ha! It’s just 15kg and you can’t handle it anymore? Weaklings. How you all dare to provoke our 250 Ace Mecha Clan if you’re that much of a wimp!” A fierce Zhao Jun held a whip in his hand and stood in the middle of the training ground. His face turned hideous and he shouted angrily, “Those that can’t finish the two-hour run or fail the mission will be dragged to the medical department. I hope that you will enjoy the lovely punishment prepared by our military doctor.”

The mecha operators on the training ground looked at Zhao Jun in surprise, and their lips twitched uncontrollably. ‘Why did our team leader suddenly become like this? He was still smiling and talking nicely with us five minutes ago…’ Their eyes instinctively glanced at their regiment commander who was calmly observing the training ground from the side with his hands behind his back.

They remembered that five minutes ago, their leader was called to have a chat with their vicious regiment commander. What did their regiment commander say to their leader? What caused their nice leader to become so frightening? They watched as their leader screamed and shouted at the members of Evil Wind with whips flying furiously around him. Zhao Jun’s team members suddenly felt a chill down their spine.

At that moment, Ling Lan suddenly glanced at them. Everyone on duty instantly straightened their backs and looked straight ahead. They were afraid that if they made any mistakes and get called over by their devil regiment commander, they would become like their team leader too. They didn’t want to become someone they couldn’t even recognize.

Lin Zhong-qing was observing the training ground besides Ling Lan and was recording the results. When he saw some people slowing down and walking tiredly, he frowned.

“They couldn’t even last for two hours,” Lin Zhong-qing said unhappily.

“This is their first time undergoing such intense training. It’s perfectly normal that their performance is a bit underwhelming.” Ling Lan was not disappointed.

Lin Zhong-qing turned to look at his Boss. He finally asked him the question he had in his mind for the past few days, “Boss, do you have high hopes for Evil Wind?

If not, he wouldn’t have wasted so many precious restorative agents to help them get back on their peak conditions as quickly as possible. He even created a special training regime for them. That’s right, this gradually advancement method of training was designed by Ling Lan personally. Besides the mecha operators that were already in 250 Ace Mecha Clan from the start, no other people had this special privilege. Even the logisticians had to undergo six months of basic training and gain the approval of their Boss before they get this kind of treatment.

The seemingly brutal training regime, along with Li Shiyu’s restorative agents, was actually able to improve a person’s physique and endurance greatly in a short period of time. Most importantly, it was able to increase the potential of a person. The potential of a person determines how far this person could walk in their life. If the potential was improved, that meant that he could achieve even more things in the future. Abilities could be learned through hard work and determination but the potential was fixed. No matter how much effort someone put in, he wouldn’t be able to change his potential.

250 Ace Mecha Clan lacked manpower but their Boss could definitely find other ways to get the people and he wouldn’t have to resort to people from the grass-roots. If he went to find General Ling Xiao, he would definitely be able to get better mecha operators and logisticians. Although they wouldn’t be able to get experienced soldiers, but there were many new mecha operators that just graduated from the military academy. The experienced mecha operators in their mecha clans could teach these new mecha operators so that they would be able to get used to the mecha clan easily.

Lin Zhong-qing didn’t understand why his Boss wanted the members of Evil Wind. They were quite powerful but they came from the grass-roots. He had surveyed the many videos taken when the members of Evil Wind were fighting on the battlefield. They managed to survive every time but they were always heavily wounded in the end. Both sides of the battle always suffered great losses, and it was the medics at the base who managed to bring them back from the gates of Hell.

They had no battle tactics and only knew how to charge forward with no semblance of coordination. All of them just fought in their own bubble like they were doing a 1vs1. Lin Zhong-qing was uncomfortable with their style of fighting, because he came from the military academy so he learned the importance of teamwork. Thus, he disliked all forms of rash and impulsive acts.

“I don’t have high hopes for them. I just want to see what the outcome will be when we put two different styles of people in the same team,” Ling Lan replied calmly.

‘Huh?’ Lin Zhong-qing looked at his Boss in astonishment. He couldn’t understand what his Boss was saying at all.

“Didn’t you notice that our mecha operators are becoming very relaxed lately?” Ling Lan raised her one of her eyebrows.

Lin Zhong-qing went into deep thought when heard her words.

“Although they are starting to regain their abilities, they are already used to living a comfortable life here. They hadn’t had any goals or competition for many years so they are unable to maintain their motivation for long periods of time. This is a lethal weakness especially on the battlefield.” Ling Lan frowned slightly. She realized this so she decisively applied to enter the battlefield. She hoped that the life-or-death situations on the battlefield would ignite the fighting spirit of the experienced mecha operators, only then would they be resurrected fully as veteran ace mecha operators.

“As for the members of Evil Wind, they had climbed up from the grass-roots, so they are prepared to enter the battlefield anytime with a burning spirit. This is something our mecha operators lack. Also…” Ling Lan smiled. “You know that the academy faction and grass-root faction dislike each other, so when both of them are on the same team, it will be quite interesting, right?”

Lin Zhong-qing turned his gaze away from Ling Lan and looked at the training ground. ‘As expected, Boss is up to no good!’
