It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future - Chapter 712

Chapter 712: Satisfied!

Ling Lan felt that 250 Mecha Clan was quite lucky when she heard about the news. The giant circular creature at the bottom of the lake was powerful but it was not really smart. Hence, it was not as scary as those creatures with high intelligence. This allowed her to subdue it rather easily..

Of course, Ling Lan knew she would win against the creature even if it had high intelligence, especially because of her father at her side. If her father couldn’t even defeat the creature, then the Federation should just give up on this planet. No matter how many divisions they sent over, they would never be able to take over this planet.

Very soon, the clearance of the Black Giant Ants started. The logistics department of 250 Mecha Clan got busy.

At the start, the mecha operators from the other mecha clans were not used to the working style of the logisticians from 250 Mecha Clan. The first thing they did was to fill up a form that asked them about their favorite food and certain habits that they had.

The mecha operators were puzzled as to why they needed to answer these questions. However they soon forgot about the doubts, they were too engrossed in the services provided by 250’s logisticians. Whether it was their food or their living conditions, everything was accommodated to them. The logisticians in charged of their mechas would take notes of their likes and habits and install their favorite weapons on their mechas. They even prepared backup energy storage units based on the different models of mechas.

The mecha operators from the other divisions didn’t take notice of these small little things but when they left 250 Mecha Clan’s base and went back to their own temporary base after it was built, they then realized they were not happy with the services there. At first, they thought that it was due to their base not having the same facilities as 250 Mecha Clan’s base. However, after returning from their missions a couple of times, they finally understood what the main difference was, the logisticians!

During their time in 250’s base, there would always be enough ammo in their weapons. Now, they kept having problems with their weapons and equipment. This caused them to have no choice but to end their missions halfway through.

This was when they realized the reason why they felt so much difference was due to the logisticians. Compared to the logisticians of 250 Mecha Clan, their own logisticians were too bad.

Besides the logisticians, the mecha operators from other mecha clans were also astounded by 250’s mecha operators. They had the least number of people but the number of Black Giant Ants they killed were as many as them.

Those mecha operators that had the honor of fighting alongside them, saw how frightening they were. Their decision making in battle and mecha piloting ability exceeded them. After working with them for a couple of times, they realized this group of outstanding mecha operators consisted of ace mecha masters that had made a name for themselves a long time ago. They were either regiment commanders, team leaders of mecha clans or team leaders of battle teams in the past.

Now, they knew why the logisticians of 250 Mecha Clan were so amazing. They had to serve people of such high caliber(This was just their guess). This made the mecha operators from other mecha clans respected 250’s mecha operators even more.

Smart people knew that if they could get some advice from famous and powerful mecha operators, they would make fewer mistakes in their pursuit of strength. The people who just advanced to an ace mecha master was very different in terms of ability and experience when compared with those that were at peak level ace mecha masters.

Some people knew about the reason why these mecha operators were sent to 250 Mecha Clan, but seeing how strong the mecha operators were, they started suspecting whether the rumor they knew was fake. Did they spread these rumors to cover up the truth? Maybe the 23rd division wanted to form a named ace mecha clan to be in charge of passing down the legacy of the 23rd division.

They remembered that the regiment commander of 250 Mecha Clan had the surname ‘Ling’. This confirmed their suspicion. This regiment commander must be under General Ling Xiao. It was understandable for a general to use his own people to groom the mecha clan that would pass down the legacy of the division.

The regiment commanders who saw Ling Lan before had to admit that this young man was indeed an extraordinary person. He was able to subdue this bunch of outstanding and arrogant mecha operators. The regiment commanders that worked with Ling Lan for this mission saw her exceptional commanding and fighting abilities and decided that they would never fight with her.

The final conclusion the 7th division came to was that 250 Mecha Clan was a future named ace mecha clan the 23rd division wanted to groom. It would become the most important mecha clan which would pass down the legacy of the 23rd division.

This news started to spread within the 7th division and then started spreading to the other divisions too. Unbeknownst to Ling Lan, 250 Mecha Clan started to gain fame among the grass-roots mecha clans within each division. Some soldiers even wanted to enter 250 Mecha Clan.

The mission to clear the Black Giant Ants was a success. After the last batch of Black Giant Ants was killed, all the mecha operators shouted in happiness. They knew that once the Black Giant Ants were cleared, the mecha clans that participated in this mission would have a safe spot to build their temporary base. The temporary base of 250 Mecha Clan had inspired the regiment commanders of the mecha clans in the 7th division so they decided to build a combined temporary base. The command center accepted their request.

Not long after, a base larger than 250 Mecha Clan’s base appeared on the land where the Black Giant Ants once existed. Ling Lan didn’t want to participate in the division of resources after this. The mecha clans from the 7th division would get the best resources but they would not cut back on the resources they would give 250 Mecha Clan.

Ling Lan didn’t place much importance on the resources they got from the Black Giant Ants mission but Lin Zhong-qing still sent He Chaoyang over to supervise the other mecha clans. Lin Zhong-qing felt that no matter how little it was, it was still valuable. There must be no mistakes. He was in charge of the living conditions of the entire 250 Mecha Clan. Hence, he needed to make sure nothing went wrong.

Since 250 Mecha Clan didn’t make a fuss over their gains and resources, the 7th division had a better impression of them. This caused a chain reaction. The 7th division was satisfied with the 23rd division due to 250 Mecha Clan’s action while the 23rd division had a good impression of 7th division too from the feedback they received from 250 Mecha Clan.

Hence, the two divisions were satisfied with each other, they formed a good relationship with each other. Coincidentally, the areas where the other mecha clans from the 23rd Division and 7th division landed were around the same area. Because of this satisfactory collaboration, the mecha clans under the two divisions met up for a discussion if their territories overlapped with each other instead of fighting each other.

Both parties made consensus. If they found the same resource, they would follow what 250 Mecha Clan did and work together. This was something unexpected.

This collaboration had a deep impact. In the future, these two divisions continued to maintain their good relationship.

When everyone was fighting for resources in the Federation headquarters, these two divisions would work with each other to let each other gain resources. Even if they had different viewpoints about issues that might cause a conflict to occur, one side would keep quiet and not mess with the other party.

Compared to the 7th division which had been around for a few centuries, the newly built 23rd Division gained more benefits from this collaboration. The support from the First Marshal as well as the help from the 7th division allowed 23rd Division to rise in rank. They started to hold more power in the discussion within the Federation.

The Second Marshal and Third Marshal gritted their teeth secretly when they noticed this. However, they never linked the reason for this relationship to be the land clearing mission or to 250 Mecha Clan. They thought that the 7th division helped the 23rd Division because Ling Xiao was once under the 7th division.

Of course, all these happened in the future. As the land clearing mission progressed, more mecha clans started building their temporary base. With 250 Mecha Clan continuing to cooperate with the 7th division, they didn’t stop expanding their territory. After some time, they found some small mineral caves.

Ling Lan had not informed the higher authorities about the huge energy mine she found at the bottom of the lake. Based on what Ling Xiao said, they should first let the staff officer department reached a consensus with the headquarters of the Federation. This was to prevent other people from sucking away the gains the 23rd division should have.
