this infinite world

Chapter 466: Logan Road

"What are you thinking about?"

When Yang Yun found Luo Gandao, the 17-year-old young man did not eat in the cafeteria with the trainees like Bawang and others.He chose to go to the mecha repair area of ​​Broken Dome alone. While eating his own portion of food, he stared blankly at the giant mecha that was tens of meters high, with extremely complicated eyes.

Hearing Yang Yun's voice, Luo Gandao trembled suddenly, then quickly turned his head.When he saw clearly that the person approaching was Yang Yun, the young man showed the hearty smile he had when they first met: "No, Brother Yang Yun, you actually know that, right? I have been interested in robots since I was a child. I am very interested, so I will come and see these mechas while eating..."

"Well, I heard it all from Overlord. The first time you took part in the mecha simulation test, you achieved unimaginable results and even broke the previous record... Give me a seat."

Yang Yun sat down next to Luo Gandao. From this angle, he could have a panoramic view of the three mechas in the entire mecha repair area.The "Storm Crimson" of the Celestial Empire, the "Cherno Alpha" of the Furry Bear Country, and the "Dangerous Wanderer" which is still under renovation, they represent what can be said to be the highest technological crystallization in the world: "But apart from the mecha simulation test In addition, your results in the fighting class and shooting class are not satisfactory, and you are still far from being an official mecha hunter."

Luo Gandao smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, before I entered the Lord God's Space, I was just an ordinary student. I didn't receive any actual combat training, so naturally I couldn't compare with that group of elite soldiers. "

"It's normal for me to not be able to compare with them, but I've worked very hard..."

"Is this what you really think?"

Yang Yun suddenly interrupted Luo Gandao's words, and a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in the young man's eyes. He subconsciously asked: "What, what?"

"I said, is this what you really think?"

Yang Yun repeated his question again. He shook his head and said, "Luo Gan said, I have heard the story from Overlord. You found Overlord in private and secretly begged him to take you to participate in a mecha simulation test." , otherwise based on your fighting and shooting results, you would not be able to meet the actual simulation test standards."

Luo Gandao touched his head, showed a student-like smile and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Yang Yun, I just really want to fly a mecha once, even if it's a simulation training, and I also succeeded? I He is indeed talented in this area..."

"I have never denied your talent, but your success cannot cover up the fact that you actually made a fool of yourself."

Before Luo Gandao could finish speaking, Yang Yun raised his voice slightly: "So whether you are deliberately tricked by other students in the fighting class, or you are isolated by others, or even you can only come here to eat alone now, The essence is that you have done something extraordinary...No matter where you are, people will always hate those who use the back door or leapfrog."

"...I understand this."

Luo Gandao replied in a low voice. He silently pulled up the zipper of his jacket, which just covered a bruise on his neck that was hit by a stick during training: "But I don't have many opportunities, as I just said. In that way, I have not received corresponding training, and I am naturally not on the same starting line as other candidates. If I use the normal method, my first mecha simulation test will still be far away... I don't want to be eliminated like this. Out!"

Luo Gandao suddenly became excited, and he said loudly: "I can do it! I am more talented than any of them in controlling the mecha. I even broke it the first time I was tested. The previous highest record!”

"This is your problem, Luo Gan said. You still don't understand that genius does not mean that you can ignore all rules. This world has never been a hot-blooded comic. You cannot reach the sky in one step by relying on extraordinary talent alone. One person does it all.”

Yang Yun sighed and said to the young man: "You are also a member of the Samsara Team like us. Overlord may not care about helping you. But in a sense, you are taking advantage of this layer with us. Relationships to achieve your own goals... This unconventional style of behavior means that you are not a follow-the-rules person, not like an ordinary student, but have been working at the bottom of society for a long time. You are an experienced veteran, and this has created a new contradiction with your initial self-introduction." "In a sense, this is a test for you to the senior people. Prove that you have your own demands, and put this demand into practice. Overriding the goals of the team.”

Yang Yun's tone was not harsh, but Luo Gandao looked away with a guilty conscience. He knew exactly what his behavior meant: "I just want a chance to prove myself..."

"I understand what you want to say, and you don't need to defend it, because facts speak louder than words. What you want to say and what you want to do will be fully reflected in your actions in the future."

Yang Yun's tone became gentle again. He did not look at Luo Gandao, but said in a normal voice: "From you, I see a strong desire to survive. This is not a bad thing, but people have their own differences." Do whatever you want. There are always some things in this world that are more important than living...otherwise, you will not enter the Lord God Space."

——Just like the first time you wondered about the meaning of your life in the game before entering the main god space.

Luo Gandao was stunned for a moment, but Yang Yun's words did not stop. The voice seemed not to be speaking to the person in front of him, but to something more illusory and distant: "Luo Gandao, I understand that you have feelings for giant robots. Unimaginable love, and you do have a talent in this area... Then I want to ask you a question, among those works, which protagonist is your favorite?"

"...Ikari Shinji."

"Really? Shinji Ikari."

Listening to Luo Gandao's answer, Yang Yun smiled and said: "I can probably understand the reason. I think it must have been the first time that Shinji Ikari separated from ordinary people's lives and learned that he needed to drive EVA to fight the apostles. The confusion and fear are not much worse than yours right now... You are actually very scared and even disgusted now, right?"

As he spoke, Yang Yun patted Luo Gandao's shoulder with his right hand, shaking the body of this slightly thin young man: "This weird world of reincarnation, this team that doesn't know the depth of good and evil, hate those people For your students..."

As Yang Yun spoke every word, sweat had already wet Luo Gandao's shirt. The young man's face gradually turned pale. The fate of those smart-alecks he had seen before entering the main god's space was clearly visible in his mind.Everything has a price and risk. If you want to take shortcuts, then...

"However, there is no need for you to be nervous about this, because this is the Central Continent team, and the environment and collective are different from the one you were in before."

However, the expected punishment did not come. The right hand placed on his shoulder only emitted a not bright green light, sweeping away Luo Gandao's pain in the past few days.

"Back to the topic just now, even Shinji Ikari, what he is looking for is not to drive EVA to fight monsters, but to gain the recognition of others. And it is precisely because he has Rei Ayanami, Asuka, Misato Katsuragi, and Only with a series of partners can he reach the end..."

Just as Luo Gan was stunned, Yang Yun's words that sounded like knocking, but seemed to have a lot more warmth came into his ears again.

"Victory in a battle can never be achieved by one person."
