Chapter 1453 - It“s Enough

“Instructor Number One, I’m ready,” Ling Lan said calmly.

“Begin the transport. I have already relayed the path to you. Be careful,” Number One said in a serious tone.

“Yes, sir!” replied Ling Lan.

After saying that, Ling Lan closed her eyes and the black object on her hand began to crumble apart. The black outer shell continued to crumble apart to reveal a handful of silver sand that was glittering in the light inside.

Just as the black outer shell finished disintegrating, the silver hand laid flat on her hand before sinking into her skin.

In Ling Lan’s body, the silver sand entered Ling Lan’s bloodstream. It began to flow from her hand to her feet before finally reaching her head.

A hardly visible thin layer of sweat formed on Ling Lan’s forehead. In order to control the silver sand to not harm or move to another location in her body, Ling Lan must use all of her concentration to direct the flow of the sand. Moreover, with the fact that she only had one chance to do it, added to the pressure.

“Here,” Number One’s voice echoed.

Ling Lan’s body shook violently. The silver sand broke through the walls of her mindscape and rushed straight for the learning machine.

At that moment, in Ling Lan’s mindscape, an enlarged structural blueprint of the learning machine had appeared. Number One had already marked a few points on it which Ling Lan must carefully place the silver sand in their respective points. If the silver sand was deposited wrongly, Number One would instantly destroy the silver sand. If that happened, it would mean Ling Lan had failed what she was trying to do.

Before going about doing this, Number One already had a serious conversation with Ling Lan. If there were any mistakes during the process, they would rather give up on the chance of upgrading the hardware than to let anything happen to the learning machine.

It couldn’t be helped. The learning machine was just too precious. Not only was there the learning machine, there were also people who Ling Lan cared about in it. For example, the instructors, Little Four, and Little Blossom. Also Ling Xiao and Xie Yi, who were waiting to be revived. Ling Lan couldn’t gamble with their lives on the line and she didn’t want to do it either.

What Ling Lan took from the district mayor of the 11th District seemed to be a data storage device in the beginning, but it was actually a rare material that would cause a giant commotion if they were in the Mandora star system. The silver sand could actually be used to upgrade the hardware of the learning machine by one level.

Once Ling Lan had acquired it, Instructor Number One immediately sensed it. He quickly told Ling Lan to quickly go into her mindscape and prepare to upgrade the learning machine.

Of course, the reason Instructor Number One was so quick to make such a decision was because of Little Four, who had been in a coma. When Ling Lan touched the black object, Little Four’s body reacted greatly to it. It was definitely an important item connected to Little Four’s body since it was able to cause such an acute reaction.

In the end, it was Little Four’s body’s natural instinct to get stronger that caused him to have such a reaction.

As time went by, more and more silver sand was slowly getting deposited into their designated points.

The mass amount of sweat had already caused the hair of Ling Lan’s forehead to stick to her forehead. Ling Lan’s always calm demeanor was actually broken in this procedure.

Both Ling Lan and Number One knew what upgrading the hardware meant…

Little Four was going to come back.

Number One had initially thought he needed decades of Ling Lan’s spiritual power to replenish him. Now that if the hardware upgrade was successful, the energy it replenished might be able to awaken Little Four.

“Good job, you succeeded, Ling Lan,” Number One said with satisfaction.

Despite him being calm and cool, a look of joy still couldn’t escape his eyes.

If someone had told Number One that he would one day have a disciple that he would be completely satisfied with, he probably would think that person was dreaming or perhaps drunk. However, now, Number One was able to tell everyone without hesitation that Ling Lan was his favourite disciple and only disciple.

Just Ling Lan was enough.
