Seeing how Ling Lan’s expression was still extremely calm and did not fluctuate when he suddenly got close to him, Yao Lang had a glimmer of admiration in his eyes. He believed Ling Lan was a good seed just waiting to grow. He smiled and asked, “Hey little kid, is it your first time here? What’s your name?”

Ling Lan of course wouldn’t answer him. She wasn’t stupid. She was at the headquarters of the special forces. If she carelessly told him her name, it would be giving them a chance to take revenge on her. Thus, Ling Lan chose to remain silent and calm as she continued to look at Yao Lang and didn’t think to even answer his questions.

After been given the cold shoulder by Ling Lan, Yao Lang’s comrades who were watching the situation from the side all instantly burst out in laughter. One of them was so exaggerated he was slapping his leg as he laughed, “Hahaha, that’s too funny. Yao Lang, it seems that this day would come eventually.”

Yao Lang always used his fake smile and easily had people place their trust in him. Thus, they would always use him to speak to strangers,and he would easily win people over. This made those veterans who had malevolent auras be green with envy. Now, they finally saw Yao Lang get rejected. These comrades of his of course wouldn’t pass up on an opportunity to laugh at him.

Yao Lang smiled bitterly. He didn’t think that the smile that always made it convenient for him had lost its effect and was ignored by this little kid in front of him.

He wasn’t willing to give up and coughed as he continued to speak, “Only those who are in our special forces can come to this place, so you’re our comrade. You don’t have to be so defensive.”

Ling Lan had already made a decision to not expose her identity. She continued to stare at Yao Lang in a way as though he didn’t exist.

Yao Lang finally couldn’t hold up his smiling expression and walked back to his comrades in defeat.

“Yao Lang, not everyone gets affected by that move.” Right as he returned, he heard his comrades mocking him.

Yao Lang didn’t get angry and only shrugged his shoulders. He said nonchalantly, “Why don’t you guys try? I’ll treat whoever succeeds to a meal.”

After Yao Lang’s words, everyone’s eyes glimmered as they all shouted in unison, “Palace of Celebrations.” That restaurant was the only seven star luxurious restaurant chain in the Federation. Those who went to eat there were only top-ranking officials in the Federation. It wasn’t because these special forces members couldn’t afford it, but after one meal, they probably wouldn’t be able to live comfortably for an entire season. Thus, hearing that they had a chance to spend the money of someone with deep pockets, Yao Lang’s comrades of course would choose the most luxurious place.

Hearing this, Yao Lang’s face instantly dropped and became distressed, “You people want me to eat nutrient solutions continuously for years?” Thinking about that kind of lifestyle, he instantly felt that it was terrible.

“Well you said it. If you’re willing to bet, then you should accept the loss as well.” He comrades would of course not be willing to give up on this great chance. The cost of a seven star restaurant was indeed high, but the taste was irresistible. Every year, they would go and eat there once and treat their stomachs. Then they would work hard on the tasks afterwards… as they had to somehow earn their next season’s life expenses.

Having been motivated by the Palace of Celebrations, they teased Ling Lan one by one in an attempt to make Ling Lan have a reaction and receive the reward from Yao Lang’s bet. Unfortunately, Ling Lan’s emotions had already been trained in the training space and became extremely tough. This level of interference had little to no effect on her.
