Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 521 Inevitable
Mu Xiang had overheard Alexei's conversation with the instructor, and it was clear that he valued Luo Gandao the most... After all, in the old man's eyes, Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha had been trained in body control, but Luo Gandao was a complete novice, and his performance came almost entirely from talent.

However, Luo Gandao was somewhat bewildered because he hadn't actually seen the very old movie "Mechanical Dragon"... Most of the mecha-related works he had read were anime or manga. So, for a moment, he wasn't quite sure how valuable this invitation was.

Mu Xiang felt helpless. Luo Gandao's reaction wasn't surprising, so he could only explain it himself. He said something in his mind, and Zhang Jie connected him to Luo Gandao's consciousness. Because he had demonstrated this ability to Luo Gandao before, Luo Gandao didn't suddenly scream or anything, just tensed up slightly.

Alexei observed Logandau's reaction, assuming he was interested, and smiled faintly, leaning back in his chair, awaiting everyone's response.

"Huh? He's the teacher of the main villain in this movie?" Logan thought to himself, "Won't there be any danger if we agree?"

Mu Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then said helplessly, "Well, strictly speaking, the Allied Powers were all villains in that movie... As people on the same side, there's no danger in us agreeing, but the benefits are real. I'm afraid we won't have this kind of opportunity to learn mecha technology once we get to the God Space."

"Of course, there are plenty of exchanges available from the main god, so exchanging for a technical manual for piloting a mecha shouldn't be difficult. But aside from the fact that mechas in different worldviews are different, even if you exchange for one, you'll just be reading it yourself, and the effect certainly won't be as good as receiving instruction in person."

Luo Gandao's heart stirred slightly, and then he asked, "So, should we agree?"

[There will definitely be new developments after we agree... The more conspicuous we are, the greater the risk of being targeted by United States spies, right? But let's not use that to scare him.]

If there's anything that can rival his passion for mecha... it's his fear of death. If he really backs down, we'll be the ones who suffer...

While thinking it over, Mu Xiang gave Luo Gandao a positive answer.

While Mu Xiang and Luo Gandao were talking, another consciousness of his also connected with Zhao Yingkong: "The plan has changed. Since there is another path to advancement, the arrangements may need to be changed... Zheng Zha has been confirmed to play the role of defector. Besides me, the core trainees also need someone with the right ability like you, so I hope you can agree."

Is it necessary to agree?

“I desperately want to improve… uh, we desperately need to improve. Apart from Logandao, mech technology isn’t the most important thing to us, not even important, but it’s an opportunity for us to enter the core areas, which is good for this cycle world.”

"But it seems he invited you."

Mu Xiang smiled bitterly to himself. This girl was always stubborn at times like this... She usually seemed indifferent, but she would get angry if she felt slighted.

“No, judging from what the instructors said, while outstanding trainees in the past might not have been directly invited, they were still sent to the Central Federal District to study there… I suspect that those who performed even better might stay. Today, we're just moving your process forward,” Mu Xiang said.

Zhao Yingkong gave a curt reply and then said nothing more.

Zheng Zha naturally had no doubts. He just chuckled to himself, "That's pretty exciting. He apprenticed under a big shot from the Allied Powers and then defected. You've given me a great job."

“Don’t rush. The bigwigs of the United States are all spies of the Allied Powers. You’re still one level short,” Mu Xiang replied. Seeing the four of them remain silent, the instructor’s heart skipped a beat. He finally couldn’t help but say, “You guys should seize this opportunity. The last student who received the general’s appreciation was a new recruit from the southern front five years ago.”

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "We are all from the same place and have long been comrades-in-arms. Naturally, we will advance and retreat together... I personally am very willing to follow the general and learn from him."

Zheng Zha chuckled: "Me too."

Luo Gandao's face flushed slightly before he stammered, "I do."

Zhao Yingkong nodded, her face expressionless.

“Very good. If you study hard and delve into your studies, you will all become legends of this era.” Alexei clapped his hands, stood up with a smile, and said, “I will stay here for a few more days. After the second round of teaching is over, I will take you all with me.”

A hint of joy flashed in the instructor's eyes. Since these were all new recruits under his command, he would naturally benefit as well... And the general's stay at the training base for a few days would also provide guidance on their instruction, which would be of great benefit to them as well.

"But don't be complacent. In recent years, I haven't found any promising talents like you. However, there are quite a few who have been recommended and then demonstrated their talent and strength... You are not being compared with ordinary recruits, you are being compared with the best reserve mechanical dragons, understand?" Alexei said, then waved his hand and walked out.

The instructor and several guards followed closely behind, but as they were leaving, the instructor turned around and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "This is also standard procedure. You all need to train hard these next few days and show the general your abilities..."

"Alright, we can go back now." Mu Xiang said to everyone with a smile as they left, "This result is not bad, it makes things easier."

Zheng Zha stretched and yawned: "Damn, it's been so long since I've experienced a scene like this... Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

“Of course we think it’s hasty, but for them, it’s all perfectly logical.” Mu Xiang shrugged, responding to Zheng Zha in his mind, “Alexei visits a training base every year to look for outstanding recruits… and this year, today, he just happened to come here, just happened to find us, and we just happened to agree. That’s all, all the causes and effects have been arranged by the God of War… or rather, we were placed at the intersection of all these causes and effects.”

"What if the main god doesn't make arrangements?" Zheng Zha was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Mu Xiang had to explain to him alone in his mind, but Mu Xiang's silence had already made Zhao Yingkong's face turn cold. Luo Gandao was also confused and couldn't breathe.

“It’s simple. Then we’ve lost this opportunity and can only look for other solutions,” Mu Xiang said calmly. “Similarly, if we don’t have this level of ability, if Luo Gandao doesn’t have this talent, then this point of convergence of cause and effect will have passed.”

"The cause and effect naturally led to the current situation... and I only had Zhang Jie give a hint to eliminate all factors that could potentially cause trouble, that's all... everything else was Alexei's own inevitable choice."

Zheng Zha pondered for a while: "Indeed, from my perspective it is very simple... but from the overall perspective, I have overlooked too many factors, which is why I have mistaken a certain inevitability for a coincidence... So why don't you speak up?"

With his back to the hidden camera in the lobby, Mu Xiang gave a cold smile: "Because I've discovered something interesting... I'll be going to find it soon."
