It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

"Boss, we can become an independent army now," Little Four wiggled his tiny butt excitedly when he saw the rewards.

"Be calm. We still have to see whether the three great marshals accept our advancement." Ling Lan didn't think that becoming an independent army would be so easy. The Lingtian Mecha Clan's foundation was just too weak, even if her father's help, it wouldn't be a simple task to be an independent army.

"Will they take away our merits?" Little Four pouted.

"Of course not. However, they might give me an offer I can't reject so that I will give up this idea voluntarily." Ling Lan never dared to underestimate those sly old foxes. They might have something they could threaten her with.

"What else is more enticing that becoming an independent army?" Little Four suddenly remembered Boss's wish many years ago. He continued in astonishment, "Boss, don't tell me you want the best male sperms…"

"What nonsense are you spewing?" Ling Lan immediately knocked his head. She was young and inexperienced when she said that in the past. Thinking back, she felt embarrassed for herself.

It wouldn't be difficult for her to rob a sperm bank now. If she were to give up the chance to become an independent army just for high-quality sperm… Little Four was thinking too 'highly' of her.

"What could they offer then?" Little Four rubbed his sore head as he thought about this huge problem. As the number one follower of Boss, he must plan ahead.

Ling Lan didn't reply to him. She just allowed Little Four's imagination to run wild. There were many things that could happen before they became an independent army. Before everything settled down, Ling Lan wouldn't think too much about it.

After Major General Bai finished his mission, he left with his team. Major General Gao announced the end of the conference after everything had been finalised.

Ling Lan stood up and wore the military cap Luo Lang passed to her.

"Congratulations, Major General Ling." Major General Gao walked up to her.

"Thank you, Major General Gao," Ling Lan replied politely.

"If there's nothing, Major General Ling should return to Base Nebula as soon as possible." Major General Gao seemed to be hinting at something.

Ling Lan raised one of her eyebrows in response and replied calmly, "Thank you for your reminder."

The two of them shook hands and parted ways. They appeared as though they were just greeting each other.

"Is something wrong?" Xie Yi whispered.

"Nothing. We just greeted each other." Ling Lan smiled slightly. Major General Gao seemed to be informing her that he was on her side. She should confirm this with her father first.

At that moment, Ling Lan noticed two familiar figures walking towards her.

Ling Lan frowned. However, it only lasted for a moment. She had already expected that this would happen eventually.

"Major General Ling, shall we have a chat?" Mu Chaoran forced himself to remain composed as he spoke to Ling Lan.

Ling Lan nodded. "Sure."

She turned around and asked Gu Dongyang, "Is there any quiet place around here?"

Gu Dongyang thought for a while. "There is a resting area for the workers which should be suitable for your needs."

He added on, "There are private rooms inside."

Ling Lan nodded. "Let's go there." Since they weren't going to talk about some massive secrets, they just needed a quiet place.

Gu Dongyang led the way. Ling Lan and company walked out of the conference room.

Major General Gao, who just separated with Ling Lan, walked to a corner. A senior colonel came up to him and said in a low voice, "The things we have prepared were useless. That is unexpected."

"Isn't that good? Our people don't have to reveal themselves." Major General Gao smiled. He was satisfied with the result of this conference.

"We still underestimated Major General Ling." The senior colonel complimented Ling Lan. "General always told us to not bother about Major General Ling, but how can we do that. In the end, he was right. General finally has a qualified successor." Both the current leader and the future successor were important to a faction. They were the foundation and confidence of the faction.

"We will be calling him Lieutenant General Ling soon." Major General Gao smiled as he shook his head. His tone was filled with respect as he said, "He has broken a new record. He will be the youngest lieutenant general. No one might be able to break his record in the coming millennium."

"Definitely. Once the Lingtian Mecha Clan becomes an independent army, no one will be able to stop his rise anymore." The senior colonel was filled with anticipation.

"The accomplishment of Major General Ling is just a bonus. The most important thing is the opportunity that our general has been waiting for is finally here." Major General Gao couldn't hide his excitement. Everyone who followed Ling Xiao hoped that he would one day climb to the top of the military world.

It would be the end to all the hatred accumulated through the generations.

The resting area wasn't far from the conference room. They arrived quickly.

Gu Dongyang used his identity to register for a huge private room.

The private room was around 30 square meters. The aesthetic of the room matched the design of a normal military bunker, bleak and monotonous.

Ling Lan casually sat on the sofa of the room. She pointed at the sofa to signal for everyone to sit down.

Gu Dongyang chose to sit on Ling Lan's left side. Xie Yi pulled Luo Lang and sat on Ling Lan's right.

Li Yingjie was a step too slow. He could only grumble and sit beside Gu Dongyang.

Well, he could sit on the sofa opposite from Ling Lan but that sofa was for the two people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces. Li Yingjie was an unreasonable and irritating person but when it comes to important affairs, he knew what he should do.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran knew that they should sit on the sofa opposite from Ling Lan that was specially left for them so they sat down naturally.

As they sat down, robotic attendants came in to send them their tea and snacks.
