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

Chapter 1156 Everyday!

They had a long journey so they quickly went back to their rooms to have a rest. The night went by peacefully.

The next morning, Gu Dongyang woke up in the break of dawn. While he was trying to sleep last night, some questions popped into his mind but it was too late to ask Ling Lan. Thus, he set his mind to immediately go ask Ling Lan after freshening up the next morning

He went to Ling Lan’s room after he freshen up. He pressed the doorbell. The door opened after a while.

The moment he entered the room, he saw Li Yingjie sitting on the sofa, yawning. He was surprised. “Little Leader Li, why are you here so early?”

He arrived an hour early but Little Leader Li was even earlier than him. It was public knowledge that Little Leader Li was never punctual. He would always arrive at the very last minute.

Li Yingjie covered his mouth and yawned. He was still in a daze when he replied, “Boss said he will bring us to the Statue of Heroes today. I’m scared that I’ll miss it.”

Li Yingjie was afraid that he would infuriate Boss if he woke up late so he counted his fingers until the sun rose. He didn’t sleep a single wink so his eyes were bloodshot.

“You’re really early.” Gu Dongyang was speechless. He glanced at Boss’s room. The door was still shut tightly. “Is our regiment commander awake?”

Li Yingjie shook his head. “I didn’t hear anything.”

“How did you come in?” Gu Dongyang was puzzled.

“Same as you. I pressed the doorbell and the door opened itself.” Li Yingjie didn’t sense anything weird. “Boss might have tuned the mainframe so that we can enter anytime we want.”

Li Yingjie spoke as though doing that was just a simple matter. Gu Dongyang rolled his eyes in his mind. The mainframe of the room was connected to the mainframe of the Federation. If Boss wanted to control the mainframe of the Federation and the surveillance cameras of the room, he needed to have exceptional hacking abilities.

Gu Dongyang didn’t dare to think any further. This had nothing to do with him anyway.

The two of them sat quietly on the sofa and waited for their regiment commander to get up.

After some time, Xie Yi and Luo Lang walked into the room. It’s obvious that Xie Yi went to look for Luo Lang so that they could come in together.

When Gu Dongyang saw all of them had arrived, he went to the optical supercomputer and ordered five breakfast sets.

The sound of a door opening was heard and Ling Lan walked out in full black. She was wearing a black shirt and a pair of black pants. It was simple but she looked cool and handsome.

Ling Lan was fiddling with the buttons on her sleeve when she came out. “Everyone is here?”

“Yes, Boss Lan. I even ordered you breakfast.” Li Yingjie quickly stole Gu Dongyang’s glory.

Gu Dongyang shook his head and smiled. Yang Mingzhi, Liu Furong and him always watched these youngters with interest whenever they tried to gain the favour of Ling Lan. To veteran soldiers like them, just these interactions could entertain them for days. They even occasionally bet on who would gain most of Ling Lan’s favour of the day behind everyone’s back.

Hence, he was quite used to what Li Yingjie did as this happened all the time. The only surprise was who would be the most shameless on the day.

Plus, the leaders had their principles too. They would acknowledge the shamelessness of the person and never exposed him. The only thing they would do was to shoot glares at the person.

Unsurprisingly, Li Yingjie received glares from Luo Lang and Xie Yi right after he finished speaking. Xie Yi was speechless while Luo Lang’s face was all puffed up. He hated himself for reacting too slowly.

Xie Yi patted Luo Lang’s shoulder to console him. Luo Lang was always slower than other people when it comes to fighting for the favour of Boss. He could only win if his other personalities took over, for instance, the calm personality.

Ling Lan pretended that she didn’t notice their emotions. Since her friends liked to play this game, she would pretend that she didn’t know anything and cooperate with them. The daily training was tiring enough so they should have a chance to relax and play.

“Regiment commander, aren’t you going to wear your military attire?” Gu Dongyang asked Ling Lan when he saw her attire.

“We are just going for a walk so wearing military attire will be inconvenient.” There were many generals on Planet General but none as young as her. She would stand out among the crowd if she wore her uniform.

Gu Dongyang thought about something and got up. “I’ll go change.”

Li Yingjie was very excited when he heard this. He jumped up and shouted, “I’ll go change too.” Sob, he hadn’t worn his luxurious and extravagant clothes in a long time.

Luo Lang was at a loss. He didn’t know why Li Yingjie and Gu Dongyang left so quickly.

“Boss, Luo Lang and I will go change too.”

“Am I finally able to wear the couple shirt I bought long ago?” Xie Yi felt elated when he thought about this.

“But I didn’t bring...” Before Luo Lang could finish his sentence, he was dragged away by Xie Yi.

Ling Lan looked at the empty living room and smiled. This is really interesting.

After some time, everyone got changed and gathered in Ling Lan’s living room.

Li Yingjie’s clothes were quite painful for the eyes. It was like a peacock fanning its tail. However, the aura of a nobleman he exuded with the clothes allowed him to look more handsome.

Gu Dongyang’s attire was very normal. After retracting his force of presence, it would be difficult to pick him out from the crowd.

As for Xie Yi and Luo Lang, they were wearing similar navy school uniforms. They looked like a handsome and bright young man, and a cute little girl... cough, no wait, they are a handsome and bright young man, and a pretty little... How could Ling Lan describe them? Luo Lang looked like a lady wearing a man’s costume.

Ling Lan came beside Luo Lang and patted his shoulder. She sighed. “It’s better if you wear your military uniform next time.” He didn’t look much like a man in his military uniform but it was better than this current attire. If they went out now, Luo Lang would definitely be cat-called.

Luo Lang was confused about what Ling Lan meant. He thought about Ling Lan’s words carefully and felt that she meant he looked much better in his military attire. As expected, military uniforms suited him more. Luo Lang was happy at his realization. He glared at Xie Yi.

Xie Yi was still delighted even though he was glared at. His expression seemed a little stupid.

Their breakfast got sent in soon after.

After they finished their breakfast, Ling Lan put on her cloak and went out with everyone.

They flagged for a small hover car at the stand beside the place they stayed at. They entered the car and Gu Dongyang entered their location’s coordinates into the optical supercomputer.

The Statue of Heroes was located at the Planet General Plaza. There were many military museums built there too. One trip to the plaza and one would know all the disclosed history of the military of the Huaxia Federation. The glory gained by the military, the humiliations that were avenged, the legendary battle teams of the past, all of these were recorded to remind the citizens of how Huaxia Federation rose to its current position.

They wouldn’t be able to say that they had been on Planet General if they didn’t visit the Planet General Plaza.

This was one of the reasons why Ling Lan decided to bring them there. Another reason was that she was very curious about what lies within the plaza. Little Four had once showed her a 3D image of the plaza but nothing beats seeing it personally. She wanted to understand why this place meant so much to the citizens of the Huaxia Federation.

There was some distance away between the place they stayed at and the plaza. The hover car drove for one and a half hours before arriving

They walked out of the hover car after it stopped right in front of the entrance. There were a few people beside them but it wasn’t as crowded as what they had imagined.

“Is the plaza always so empty?” Ling Lan asked curiously.

Gu Dongyang smiled. “Of course not. The mainframe would distribute the crowd evenly, making it seem as though there are very few people from the outside.”

He walked towards a nearby blinking optical supercomputer and scanned his communicator on it. He seemed familiar with this place.

The optical supercomputer quickly activated its virtual screen. Gu Dongyang entered the number of people as five and then asked the group to scan their communicators too.

Soon, all their communicators displayed their next location.

“We’re a group now. This way, the mainframe wouldn’t split us up.” Gu Dongyang explained as he looked at the information on his communicator.

Xie Yi, Luo Lang, and Li Yingjie kept nodding like country bumpkins.

Ling Lan glanced at her communicator before saying, “Let’s go.” Then, she walked towards the destination on her communicator.

Little Four had already displayed the entire 3D and bird’s-eye view map of the plaza in Ling Lan’s head so she knew exactly where to go.

Gu Dongyang looked at Ling Lan with respect. He took one entire year to memorise the locations of all the exhibitions and paths in the plaza. However, it had been a long time since he came here. He didn’t know if his sense of direction could still be trusted.

As expected, a hacker was different.

Ling Lan and her friends followed the instructions from the mainframe and toured a few exhibitions. They saw the history of many soldiers, some of which were still alive while others were gone from the world. In order to make the Federation stronger, many valiant soldiers were sacrificed in the process. This was still a price they had to continue paying because everyone wanted a brighter future for the Federation.

“We are going to see the Statue of Heroes next. That’s great.” Luo Lang was elated when he received the new notification.

Some tour groups around them stared at him with ‘hatred’.

Although the exhibitions were educational, most came to the plaza to see the Statue of Heroes.

The Statue of Heroes wasn’t a series of statues. It was like a museum. This museum consisted of the information of the strongest soldiers in the Federation. Some of these heroes weren’t announced to the public too. If one could pass the three tasks assigned by the mainframe, they would be able to get the non-disclosed information from the Statue of Heroes.

Only seven people managed to pass the three tasks ever since the Statue of Heroes was built. This showed how difficult the three tasks were.

Even so, many people were still curious enough to try and complete the three tasks. Unfortunately, it had been thirty years since the last person completed the three tasks.

The Statue of Heroes wasn’t easy to find either. Everyone required to receive a notification from the mainframe before they could even go there. If you looked for it yourself, you wouldn’t have the right to enter the museum.

This was why the people around Luo Lang stared at him with envy when he said that he would be going to the Statue of Heroes soon.

“Let’s go.” Ling Lan smiled when she received the notification. She was probably the only one who knew why they received the offer so soon.

The Statue of Heroes was located right in the center of the general plaza. Without the instructions from the mainframe, you would still be able to find the Statue of Heroes if you walked towards the center of the plaza. There was a huge stone statue in front of the museum. The names of all the famous soldiers in the Federation were carved on this stone statue. They were all prominent figures important to a certain generation.

The Huaxia Federation had thousands of years of history but there were not many names carved on the stone. There were only 98 people whose names were carved on it. The heroic acts of everyone were written in detail below the name. Yet, only a small portion of the stone was occupied.

‘The last person whose name was carved lived more than a hundred years ago. I wonder who the 99th person will be?’ Ling Lan wondered to herself.

The group of them looked up at the statue before entering the Statue of Heroes.

The Statue of Heroes was very big. Once someone entered, a list of marshals would be displayed. Ling Lan glanced at them and entered deeper into the venue, and the list of god-class mechas were finally displayed in front of them. Ling Lan felt her heart thumping. She quickly moved to the end and saw her father’s name.

“Ah, its General Ling!” Luo Lang shouted excitedly.

Luo Lang was Ling Lan’s faithful follower. His respect for Boss’s father was evident.
