1455 Evolve?

Thats why Little Four, wake up, I need you! This was the first time Ling Lan said that she needed someone. The Ling Lan now was no longer the strong and invincible commander in everyones eyes. She was no longer the dominant Boss who all of her comrades believed that she could fight off thousands of soldiers. Now, she was a girl who needed someone to rely on.

Ill give you one chance. If you dont wake up now, I might not need you anymore. Ling Lans demeanour suddenly turned cold and her expression turned indifferent. She slowly took back her finger, as if the weak expression she just showed was an illusion.

Her weak self was extra baggage. Faced with the loss of Little Four, she went back to demeanor of the Ling Lan from her previous life. The weak version of Ling Lan that was dependent on everyone else around her to survive, that was sad that everyone showed concern for her but no one actually felt concerned for her, and that was lonely.

If staying here being all weak wasnt going to do anything, then she would be going to do what she needed to be, a cold and heartless commander.

Just as she turned around to leave, the corner of her sleeve was suddenly pulled on by a chubby little hand.

Dont leave! Little Fours weak voice rang from behind her.

Ling Lans body shook and her eyes instantly teared up.

She rapidly blinked her eyes. The blinking immediately erased the immense joy she had along with the weakness she shouldnt have had or rather shouldnt have shown.

She turned around and flicked her finger lightly, Dumb Little Four. You finally slept enough.

The Little Four hovering in mid-air groaned in pain. Then, he immediately jumped up and held his forehead with a look of being wronged. With a sad look on his face, he said, Boss, Im a patient right now, cant you be a bit more nice to me?

Nice? The bones on Ling Lans finger began to make cracking sounds. She then spoke in a cold tone, Do you need me to give you a massage personally?

It was clear that this massage would definitely make Little Four be in so much pain that he would rather die.

As an intelligent entity, Little Four was, of course, not related the word dumb. He shook his head furiously.

Right as Little Four was about to cause himself to faint from shaking his head too much, a hand suddenly held his head and stopped his shaking head.

Ling Lans head caressed Little Fours head. This sudden warmth stunned Little Four.

Boss? Little Four raised his head in surprise.

In the next second, Ling Lan used all of her might to hug him. The hug was so tight that Little Four actually felt as though he was suffocating.

Little Four, its good that youre fine. Ling Lans calm voice flowed into Little Fours ears. Despite it sounding cold as it had always been, Little Four still managed to hear the happiness and gratefulness in Ling Lans heart.

As the hug continued, Little Four could feel his body warming up to the point where his main CPU might overheat.

Next time, I wont allow you to take such risks again. Even if it is for mom or dad or even me. I wont allow it. Dont ever do that again, do you hear me? said Ling Lan sternly.

She hoped that Little Four would always exist even at her passing. Even if one day she werent to exist anymore, she still hoped Little Four would continue to exist in this world and live without any worries.

Little Four felt himself short-circuiting for a moment. The two top level restrictions of the learning machine actually somehow went against each other which made his circuits go haywire.

The first responsibility of the learning machine was to protect the life of the host, and the second responsibility was that it couldnt go against the orders of the host.

Ling Lan, who was holding Little Four, felt that Little Fours body had frozen stiff. Upon realization, she quickly and gently placed Little Four down. When she saw a sleeping Little Four again, she felt her mind was about to collapse.

Instructor Number One! Ling Lan quickly shouted.

Number One appeared in an instant.

Instructor Number One, whats wrong with Little Four? Why did Little Four suddenly stop responding to her. His originally bright and lively eyes actually darkened. It was as though he was a robot that suddenly lost its power.

Instructor Number One lightly pushed down on Little Fours head and frowned slightly. He actually began evolving right after he woke up. He really is a piece of work.

Evolving an intelligent entity like Little Four required work to be done in advance to prepare for it. Usually, it required months of dedicated research and careful experimentation of the direction of the evolution to increase the chance of success, otherwise, the evolution would fail easily.

Instructor Number One thought Little Four was too impulsive to evolving himself after sensing he could evolve. How could he know that it was because of some of Ling Lans actions and words that caused Little Fours original restrictions to have a terrifying flaw? In order to repair this flaw, Little Four naturally chose to evolve after sensing the room for an evolution. This was actually a method Little Four used to protect himself.

Is Little Four in danger? Ling Lan said worriedly.

At most, he would just fail and waste this opportunity to evolve that you managed to acquire with great effort, said Instructor Number One frustratingly.

Thats fine. Ling Lan was no longer worried. As long as Little Four was fine, no matter how wasteful it was, Ling Lan wouldnt mind.

Number One understood the meaning behind Ling Lans words. He shook his head silently. With a host who pampers her own intelligent entity without thinking about any of the risks Number One felt his head hurt.

Each and every one of them werent easy to deal with.

Little Fours evolution wasnt something that could be done in just one or two days. So, after getting assured that nothing would happen to Little Four, Ling Lan left the room.

She used her spiritual self to scan the entire rainbow palace to discover that everyone was systematically going about their work.

Seeing this, Ling Lan was no longer worried. She took a deep breath before taking a step forward to arrive beside Instructor Number Five.

Instructor Number Five was studying Little Blossoms situation closely. After sensing Ling Lans arrival, he said, A portion of Little Fours energy was devoured by Little Blossom. Im not sure if Little Four was affected or not.

This was the result after Instructor Number One and Number Five analyzed them. Otherwise, with Little Blossoms terrible state, things wouldnt get better so suddenly.

Little Four just woke up, but now hes evolving himself, said Ling Lan calmly. Also, without Little Fours consent, Little Blossom cant devour Little Fours energy.

Ling Lan was much more knowledgeable of the relationship between Little Four and Little Blossom compared to the two instructors. Although Little Four bullied Little Blossom, Ling Lan knew that Little Four actually cared a lot for Little Blossom. It was probably when Little Four sensed Little Blossom was in danger, he voluntarily sent energy to Little Blossom.

If hes fine, thats good, Number Five had a nonchalant look on his face. He was now more interested in Little Blossom. The way he looked at Little Blossom was like a wolf watching its prey as if he was hoping to get a bite of him.

Instructor Number Five, I want to enter the virtual time dimension. Ling Lans words instructor made Number Five retract his gaze.

Why? Instructor Number Five had a stern look on his face.

I want to find the catalyst to advance into the god-realm, Ling Lan said in a serious tone.

No, Number Five instantly refused.

Instructor Number Five, shouted Ling Lan with determination.

The two of them stared at each other. After a few minutes, Instructor Number Five wiped his helpless expression with his hand and said in dismay, Convince me with a good reason.

Lord Qian, Ling Lan only said those two words.

Number Five was silent for a while, then said, You should know where your problem lies.

This time, it was Ling Lan who was silent. Having been stuck at the peak of the imperial realm for so long and not being able to touch up the god-realm, she ,of course, knew the reason.

She advanced too quickly. Although the advancements were carefully done, her basics were still clearly less solid than those who have had decades or even centuries of time to build it up. Even if there was the learning spaces time machine speeding things up, giving her more time to train, it still wasnt enough to make up for centuries of work.

Advancing into the god-realm required enough power in layers. Otherwise, if the layers were too thin, it wouldnt work. That was the issue Ling Lan had. Her amount of power was not enough, so she couldnt get close to the door of the god-realm.

Slowly, gathering power was the best method to advance into the god-realm. Unfortunately, Ling Lan couldnt wait!
