212: Hopefully, Miss is just having a passing fancy.
After the excitement passed, Lei Jun came up with a great idea.
Tomorrow, she would take Lei Ying and the others out on a plane, and she would pilot it herself.
This way, she could both show off her new skill and relax with everyone.
At that thought, Lei Jun immediately walked out of her room to gather everyone.
At this time, Lei Ying, Lei Yue, Su Qing, and Su Ya were chatting in the living room. Seeing Lei Jun come out, they all stopped their conversation.
Lei Jun walked up to them and said with a smile, "I have some good news. How about I personally fly you all out for some fun tomorrow?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the living room fell into silence.
Lei Ying was the first to react, her brows furrowing tightly as she said seriously, "Young Lady, flying a plane is no joke. It requires professional training and extensive experience. What if an accident happens?"
As Lei Jun's Bodyguard, her top priority was Lei Jun's safety, so she naturally felt uneasy about letting Lei Jun pilot the plane herself.
Su Qing also hurriedly chimed in.
"That's right, Young Lady. I heard from a friend before that flying a plane is much harder than driving a car. Just getting a license takes a long time, and you need a lot of practical training. You've never learned to fly a plane; how did you suddenly learn it?"
Su Qing's tone was tactful, but the skepticism in her words was obvious.
Su Ya also nodded in agreement. "My sister is right, Young Lady. There are no brakes in the sky. If something goes wrong, it'll be too late to fix it. Let's find a professional pilot instead; it's safer that way."
Even the usually calm Lei Yue spoke up. She pushed up her glasses and analyzed the situation from a legal perspective.
"Young Lady, according to the laws of Dragon Country, flying a plane without a license is a serious offense. If caught, you'll face heavy penalties, and it will also affect your personal image."
Seeing everyone's worried and skeptical expressions, Lei Jun felt a bit helpless, but she knew they were doing it for her own good.
She patted her chest.
"Don't worry, I'm not joking. I really have learned how to fly, and my skills are definitely fine. I wouldn't gamble with my life or yours."
Su Qing was still uneasy. She frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly hit on a key point, saying quickly.
"Young Lady, even if you really have learned to fly, you don't have a pilot's license. Flying without a license is illegal, and the airport wouldn't allow someone without a license to take off, right?"
Su Qing's words reminded the others, and Lei Ying immediately said.
"Yes, Young Lady. A pilot's license is just like a driver's license—it's mandatory. If you want to fly yourself, why not sign up for a training course and get a license first? That way, we can be more at ease."
Lei Jun hadn't expected them to bring up the license.
"Isn't it just a pilot's license? How hard can it be? I'll get that license tomorrow and show you all!"
"Get it tomorrow?" Su Qing was extremely confused. The others also looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Getting it tomorrow was just too unrealistic.
Lei Jun knew they didn't believe her. She waved her hand, too lazy to explain further, and left them with the words, "Just you wait and see tomorrow," before turning back to her room.
Once she got the license tomorrow, they would naturally believe her.
After returning to her room, Lei Jun felt a bit tired and prepared to take a bath to relax.
She filled the tub with hot water, scattered some rose petals, and then lay down inside.
The hot water enveloped her body, causing much of her fatigue to dissipate.
Lei Jun took out the tablet next to her and opened the short drama she had been following lately, "Mao Xing Langya."
This short drama had a tight plot and a fast pace. Lei Jun had been interrupted halfway through yesterday, so today she could finish the rest.
Watching the protagonist use his wisdom and strength to strike back at those who looked down on him step by step, Lei Jun felt extremely satisfied.
She ate the fruit from the small table beside her while watching the drama, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation... Early the next morning, Lei Ying, Lei Yue, Su Qing, and Su Ya went with Lei Jun to take the license test. The atmosphere was a bit strange.
No one spoke, but everyone's face had "uneasy" written all over it.
Lei Ying's mind was full of news about plane crashes, especially considering that Lei Jun had barely even touched a steering wheel, let alone a plane.
"Young Lady," she couldn't help but speak up, "how about we just look at the process today? There's really no need to rush the test. Safety first."
Lei Jun shook her head and smiled. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If I told you yesterday I could get it, then I definitely can."
She had the God-level Piloting Skill given by the system. Let alone taking a license test, even if she were told to fly through the clouds right now, it wouldn't be a problem. She had that much confidence.
Su Qing gently pulled Su Ya's sleeve and whispered, "Do you think the Young Lady really knows how to fly? I checked yesterday, and getting a pilot's license is very hard. How could she possibly get it in one day?"
Su Ya also frowned and nodded. "I hope the Young Lady is just doing this on a whim and will give up after being advised by the coach. If something happens during the practical part..."
Before she could finish, she was stopped by a look from Lei Yue.
Lei Yue pushed up her glasses, also feeling somewhat anxious.
She had specifically looked up the "Civil Aircraft Pilot License Management Rules" yesterday, which clearly stated that applying for a license requires a certain amount of flight training time.
Forget training, the Young Lady probably hadn't even stepped into a cockpit before. This simply didn't meet the regulations.
She wanted to say something, but seeing Lei Jun's certain expression, she swallowed her words.
The Young Lady never spoke of things she wasn't sure about. Perhaps she really did have a way?
Forty minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Country Civil Aviation Pilot Training Center.
This place wasn't as bustling as a car driving school. A few small trainer planes were parked in the yard, and the staff were all wearing uniform blue outfits.
The person who received them was a coach surnamed Wang. He was in his forties with tanned skin and held a registration book. When he saw Lei Jun's group, especially her young face, he was stunned for a moment.
"Hello, are you here to inquire about the pilot's exam?" he asked while flipping through the registration book. His tone was polite, but his eyes held a hint of doubt.
Those who came to get a pilot's license were usually retired pilots or entrepreneurs in their thirties. He was seeing such a young girl for the first time.
"Not inquiring," Lei Jun said straightforwardly. "I'm here to take the test. Can I take it today?"
The pen in Coach Wang's hand dropped onto the registration book with a "clack." He thought he had misheard. "Young lady, taking a pilot's license test isn't like taking a driver's license test. The process is very complex."
"First, you have to learn theory—things like aviation regulations, meteorology, and aircraft construction—for at least two months. Then there's simulator training, followed by actual flight practice. You can only register for the exam after completing 100 hours of flight time. This whole process takes at least half a year at the fastest."
