Chapter 453: Chapter 120 Mid-game Break _2
“There’s even worse to come, you haven’t seen it yet.”
“Hmph!”
After quarreling a bit with her mother, Sandra saw the huge object drawing closer and closer. She had to suppress her anger, forcibly calm herself down, and said rather unnaturally: “Clean up all these mishaps and get my mission back on track.”
“Hehehe…”
Lisandra laughed, “My silly daughter, you really believe it, huh? You’re overestimating me. I might have some influence within the academy’s radiation range, but how could I possibly influence the Insect Race?”
“Then what’s going on?”
Sandra asked with confusion.
“These?”
Lisandra laughed, “These are of course traps laid by the academy’s enemies. They just didn’t expect that you would take this mission, attracting my attention. Otherwise, if things had developed according to their plan, the academy would have been in big trouble.”
“Really?”
Knowing her mother would not deceive her in this matter, Sandra asked, “What should we do next?”
Lisandra retorted: “Aside from the mission, have you finished what you wanted to do?”
After some serious thought, Sandra frowned and said: “I suppose so.”
“Then you can step back. I’ll handle the rest. You can go back.”
A chilling glint appeared in Lisandra’s eyes, “Those who dare to bully my daughter, these insects won’t return alive.”
“Alright, be as ruthless as you can, let off some steam for me.”
Despite the slight disappointment, Sandra still agreed.
After terminating her video communication with her mother, she instructed Spirit to invite her companions into the cockpit.
“Due to uncontrollable reasons, the mission ends here and we’ll be heading back.”
Facing her four companions, Sandra said, “I can’t divulge the specific reasons as they involve classified information.”
“It’s okay, we understand.”
The blonde with curly hair was the first to express support for Sandra.
The round-faced youth and Crew Cut Brother followed suit.
Link just nodded, showing he understood.
Having not established a close relationship yet, he wasn’t ready to offer his support or comfort.
The “Cloud Rainbow” entered warp speed once again.
This time, it smoothly entered the warp bubble, speeding back to the Rear Camp at a speed surpassing the speed of light.
The departure was as rushed as the arrival.
Less than 3 hours later, after consuming an enormous amount of Magic Stone, the “Cloud Rainbow” interstellar battleship landed on the desolate planet where the Rear Camp was located.
In the meantime, after receiving treatment, the four injured, along with Lanny, Tiffany and Fred, gradually regained consciousness and recovered.
All 12 members of the Mini legion walked down the interstellar battleship intact.
“Rest up, everyone. We will all depart separately tomorrow.”
Feeling dispirited, Sandra, who hadn’t even conducted the routine mission summary, went back to her tent first.
Caught awkward for a moment, the remaining 11 also retreated.
After entering his allotted tent, Link sat cross-legged on the cushion, reflecting on the mission.
Anticlimax?
Indeed it was, as it concluded hastily and unclearly.
However, this mission had also widened Link’s horizon, he had learned a lot.
Just as he was lost in thought, footsteps sounded from outside the tent.
“May I come in?”
Lanny asked outside the tent.
“Come in.”
Link did not refuse.
He sat here waiting for someone instead of resting in the inner bunk.
“What happened afterwards? Why did the mission end so abruptly?”
As soon as Lanny sat down, her words spilled out in rapid succession, asking two questions in a row.
Link first described the process of them being parasitized by the parasite, as well as the several attacks and counterattacks of the “Cloud Rainbow”. Then he said: “As for the end of the mission, I’m not clear about the specific reasons, I only know it has something to do with Wizard Sandra.”
That was the truth, he wasn’t deceiving Lanny.
Link truly didn’t know the details, he just had somewhat of a guess.
He kept the unsupported guess to himself in order to avoid misleading others.
“Is that so?”
Lanny was skeptical but didn’t pry further. Instead, she asked, “What’s your plan for the future? Go back home, or stay and continue to follow Wizard Sandra?”
Link laughed and asked, “Is that a decision I can make?”
“Of course!”
Lanny nodded, very sure, “If Wizard Sandra really wants to recruit you, she would send an official invitation through the academy’s channels. If you’re satisfied with the benefits offered in the invite and willing to fulfill the obligations, you just sign the agreement. If you have other ideas, you don’t sign. There’s no harm in it.”
“Did you sign?”
“I did.”
“How do you feel?”
“It feels good. There are abundant resources, ample time, opportunities for cultivation, and a lot to learn.”
“I need to consider it, won’t make a hasty decision.”
“You don’t want to be constrained, do you?”
“Somewhat.”
At this point of the conversation, Lanny discerned Link’s intention.
Now she could report back to Sandra.
Lanny got up, and as she was leaving, she left a sentence: “In that case, maybe you won’t receive an invitation.”
“Hmm.”
Link watched Lanny leave, “Please thank Wizard Sandra for her kindness on my behalf.”
Lanny waved her hand, lifted the curtain of the tent and went out.
Upon leaving the tent, she just so happened to meet Tiffany.
After briefly greeting each other, they passed by.
“Did I interrupt you two?”
