Chapter‌ ‌32‌ ‌

 ‌

Ever‌ ‌since‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌could‌ ‌remember,‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌always‌ ‌been‌ ‌a‌ ‌

back-up‌ ‌God.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌only‌ ‌thing‌ ‌he‌ ‌needed‌ ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌was‌ ‌learn‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌become‌ ‌a‌ ‌God.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌was‌ ‌a‌ ‌very‌ ‌quick‌ ‌learner‌ ‌and‌ ‌stood‌ ‌out‌ ‌amongst‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌of‌ ‌

back-up‌ ‌Gods.‌ ‌Thus,‌ ‌he‌ ‌obtained‌ ‌the‌ ‌opportunity‌ ‌to‌ ‌intern‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌

God‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wealth.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌only‌ ‌thing‌ ‌that‌ ‌occupied‌ ‌his‌ ‌heart‌ ‌has‌ ‌always‌ ‌been‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌

become‌ ‌a‌ ‌real,‌ ‌official‌ ‌God‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wealth.‌ ‌He's‌ ‌never‌ ‌thought‌ ‌about‌ ‌

romance‌ ‌before‌ ‌and‌ ‌never‌ ‌even‌ ‌considered‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌thing‌ ‌

within‌ ‌his‌ ‌plans.‌ ‌

 ‌

When‌ ‌he‌ ‌thought‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌married,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌

Zhou‌ ‌did‌ ‌his‌ ‌best‌ ‌to‌ ‌fulfill‌ ‌his‌ ‌follower's‌ ‌wish‌ ‌and‌ ‌bless‌ ‌him‌ ‌with‌ ‌

good‌ ‌fortune‌ ‌so‌ ‌he‌ ‌could‌ ‌get‌ ‌married‌ ‌soon.‌ ‌There‌ ‌was‌ ‌no‌ ‌

Matchmaker‌ ‌here‌ ‌after‌ ‌all.‌ ‌

 ‌

If‌ ‌this‌ ‌were‌ ‌on‌ ‌Earth,‌ ‌he‌ ‌would‌ ‌have‌ ‌already‌ ‌asked‌ ‌about‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌

JinXue’s‌ ‌fated‌ ‌person‌ ‌so‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌could‌ ‌shorten‌ ‌the‌ ‌red‌ ‌string‌ ‌that‌ ‌

tied‌ ‌these‌ ‌two‌ ‌together.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌really‌ ‌has‌ ‌never‌ ‌imagined‌ ‌that‌ ‌he’d‌ ‌face‌ ‌this‌ ‌thing‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌has‌ ‌always‌ ‌treated‌ ‌him‌ ‌very‌ ‌well.‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌

clearly‌ ‌knew‌ ‌he‌ ‌held‌ ‌many‌ ‌abnormal‌ ‌aspects,‌ ‌but‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌never‌ ‌

mentioned‌ ‌anything‌ ‌and‌ ‌would‌ ‌even‌ ‌help‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌cover‌ ‌up.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌other‌ ‌words...…‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌likes‌ ‌him?‌ ‌

 ‌

Is‌ ‌it‌ ‌the‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌like,‌ ‌where‌ ‌you‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌married?‌ ‌

 ‌

Or,‌ ‌was‌ ‌it‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌like,‌ ‌similar‌ ‌to‌ ‌how‌ ‌he‌ ‌liked‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌

JinXue?‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌buried‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌further‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌blankets.‌ ‌Very‌ ‌

quickly,‌ ‌he‌ ‌popped‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌out‌ ‌again,‌ ‌feeling‌ ‌very‌ ‌conflicted‌ ‌

inside.‌ ‌

 ‌

"The‌ ‌High‌ ‌God‌ ‌also‌ ‌never‌ ‌told‌ ‌me...…‌ ‌if‌ ‌Gods‌ ‌could‌ ‌marry...…."‌ ‌

 ‌

Forget‌ ‌it,‌ ‌forget‌ ‌it.‌ ‌Just‌ ‌stop‌ ‌thinking.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌pulled‌ ‌out‌ ‌videos‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌and‌ ‌started‌ ‌

watching.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Grand‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designing‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌were‌ ‌in‌ ‌two‌ ‌

days.‌ ‌There’s‌ ‌a‌ ‌dark‌ ‌horse‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌contest‌ ‌this‌ ‌time--‌ ‌the‌ ‌person‌ ‌

called‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun,‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌oldest‌ ‌son‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family.‌ ‌Duchess‌ ‌

BoDun‌ ‌was‌ ‌born‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌Family.‌ ‌Thus,‌ ‌as‌ ‌the‌ ‌birth‌ ‌family‌ ‌of‌ ‌

the‌ ‌Duchess‌ ‌BoDun,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌was‌ ‌naturally‌ ‌also‌ ‌a‌ ‌family‌ ‌

of‌ ‌powerful‌ ‌and‌ ‌influential‌ ‌aristocrats.‌ ‌

 ‌

Everyone‌ ‌says‌ ‌that‌ ‌children‌ ‌of‌ ‌aristocrats‌ ‌loved‌ ‌to‌ ‌idle‌ ‌about‌ ‌and‌ ‌

indulge‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌life‌ ‌of‌ ‌pleasure.‌ ‌As‌ ‌the‌ ‌oldest‌ ‌son‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family,‌ ‌

this‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌really‌ ‌displayed‌ ‌this‌ ‌indulgence‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌pinnacle.‌ ‌

 ‌

But‌ ‌who‌ ‌would‌ ‌have‌ ‌imagined,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌playboy,‌ ‌who‌ ‌

indulged‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌life‌ ‌of‌ ‌debauchery,‌ ‌that‌ ‌would‌ ‌shine‌ ‌extraordinarily‌ ‌

in‌ ‌this‌ ‌year’s‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designing‌ ‌Tournament,‌ ‌and‌ ‌become‌ ‌the‌ ‌dark‌ ‌

horse‌ ‌that‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌focused‌ ‌their‌ ‌attentions‌ ‌upon!‌ ‌

 ‌

“You‌ ‌really‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌tell‌ ‌that‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌has‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌talent!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Don’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌talk‌ ‌about‌ ‌us.‌ ‌Can’t‌ ‌you‌ ‌see,‌ ‌even‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌

themselves‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌expect‌ ‌this!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Hahaha‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌father‌ ‌had‌ ‌mouthed‌ ‌off‌ ‌in‌ ‌all‌ ‌sorts‌ ‌of‌ ‌

manners‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌past,‌ ‌declaring‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌have‌ ‌this‌ ‌son.‌ ‌Now‌ ‌

look‌ ‌at‌ ‌him.‌ ‌He‌ ‌practically‌ ‌wants‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌world‌ ‌to‌ ‌know‌ ‌that‌ ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌was‌ ‌his‌ ‌son.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Speaking‌ ‌honestly,‌ ‌if‌ ‌my‌ ‌son‌ ‌could‌ ‌create‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌that‌ ‌is‌ ‌100%‌ ‌

shielded‌ ‌from‌ ‌energy‌ ‌radiation,‌ ‌I‌ ‌would‌ ‌brag‌ ‌about‌ ‌him‌ ‌everyday‌ ‌

as‌ ‌well!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“100%‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌is‌ ‌real?‌ ‌Did‌ ‌the‌ ‌officials‌ ‌assess‌ ‌it?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“It’s‌ ‌already‌ ‌assessed!‌ ‌A‌ ‌few‌ ‌master‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designers‌ ‌tested‌ ‌it‌ ‌on‌ ‌

the‌ ‌spot.‌ ‌The‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌was‌ ‌100%‌ ‌shielded.‌ ‌Several‌ ‌large‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌

manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌have‌ ‌offered‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌collaboration‌ ‌

contracts‌ ‌already!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“It’s‌ ‌only‌ ‌an‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system!‌ ‌What‌ ‌if‌ ‌once‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌

placed‌ ‌into‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌it‌ ‌is‌ ‌unable‌ ‌to‌ ‌reach‌ ‌100%‌ ‌shielding?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Oh‌ ‌fck,‌ ‌how‌ ‌much‌ ‌money‌ ‌would‌ ‌this‌ ‌cost?‌ ‌You‌ ‌really‌ ‌couldn’t‌ ‌tell‌ ‌

at‌ ‌all‌ ‌that‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌was‌ ‌this‌ ‌impressive!”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌net‌ ‌users‌ ‌discussed‌ ‌heatedly.‌ ‌The‌ ‌truth‌ ‌was‌ ‌also‌ ‌as‌ ‌they‌ ‌said.‌ ‌

Several‌ ‌big‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌all‌ ‌visited‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌

family‌ ‌one‌ ‌after‌ ‌another,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun,‌ ‌and‌ ‌

wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌obtain‌ ‌the‌ ‌design‌ ‌for‌ ‌creating‌ ‌this‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌

installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌that‌ ‌was‌ ‌capable‌ ‌of‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌by‌ ‌

100%.‌ ‌

 ‌

Even‌ ‌other‌ ‌nations‌ ‌learned‌ ‌of‌ ‌this‌ ‌news‌ ‌and‌ ‌were‌ ‌all‌ ‌concocting‌ ‌

plans‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌contact‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family.‌ ‌

 ‌

Because‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌knew,‌ ‌energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌biggest‌ ‌

headache‌ ‌and‌ ‌nightmare‌ ‌for‌ ‌people‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌universe.‌ ‌How‌ ‌

many‌ ‌talented‌ ‌individuals‌ ‌have‌ ‌been‌ ‌ruined‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌

previously.‌ ‌

 ‌

For‌ ‌example,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire’s‌ ‌youngest‌ ‌battle‌ ‌god,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun.‌ ‌

Wasn’t‌ ‌he‌ ‌also‌ ‌a‌ ‌severe‌ ‌victim?‌ ‌Hasn’t‌ ‌his‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level‌ ‌already‌ ‌

started‌ ‌to‌ ‌decline?‌ ‌

 ‌

At‌ ‌this‌ ‌moment,‌ ‌the‌ ‌gates‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌were‌ ‌practically‌ ‌

opened‌ ‌continuously‌ ‌all‌ ‌day‌ ‌as‌ ‌people‌ ‌streamed‌ ‌in‌ ‌and‌ ‌out‌ ‌

endlessly.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌beamed‌ ‌with‌ ‌delight‌ ‌on‌ ‌his‌ ‌face.‌ ‌

Previously,‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌disliked‌ ‌his‌ ‌eldest‌ ‌son‌ ‌for‌ ‌all‌ ‌sorts‌ ‌of‌ ‌reasons.‌ ‌

Now,‌ ‌the‌ ‌more‌ ‌he‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌his‌ ‌eldest,‌ ‌the‌ ‌more‌ ‌pleasing‌ ‌the‌ ‌

other‌ ‌looked‌ ‌in‌ ‌his‌ ‌eyes.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Master,‌ ‌another‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌company‌ ‌came‌ ‌to‌ ‌talk‌ ‌

with‌ ‌da-shaoye,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌collaborate‌ ‌with‌ ‌him.‌ ‌They‌ ‌mentioned‌ ‌

submitting‌ ‌a‌ ‌patent‌ ‌to‌ ‌obtain‌ ‌usage‌ ‌rights,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌gain‌ ‌the‌ ‌

authority‌ ‌to‌ ‌manufacture‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌

that‌ ‌da-shaoye‌ ‌created.‌ ‌They‌ ‌said‌ ‌that‌ ‌they’re‌ ‌willing‌ ‌to‌ ‌discuss‌ ‌

the‌ ‌price‌ ‌freely.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Willing‌ ‌to‌ ‌discuss‌ ‌the‌ ‌price‌ ‌freely,‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌this‌ ‌equivalent‌ ‌to‌ ‌letting‌ ‌

you‌ ‌set‌ ‌the‌ ‌price‌ ‌to‌ ‌whatever‌ ‌you‌ ‌wanted?‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌had‌ ‌a‌ ‌rosy‌ ‌complexion:‌ ‌“ShiJun‌ ‌has‌ ‌

really‌ ‌become‌ ‌more‌ ‌and‌ ‌more‌ ‌grown‌ ‌up.‌ ‌What‌ ‌did‌ ‌I‌ ‌say,‌ ‌how‌ ‌can‌ ‌

my‌ ‌son‌ ‌be‌ ‌talentless?”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌manager‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌praised:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌know‌ ‌right?‌ ‌2-shaoye‌ ‌is‌ ‌still‌ ‌

young,‌ ‌but‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌already‌ ‌been‌ ‌tested‌ ‌to‌ ‌have‌ ‌S‌ ‌level‌ ‌physical‌ ‌

strength‌ ‌and‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌powers.‌ ‌His‌ ‌future‌ ‌prospects‌ ‌are‌ ‌limitless.‌ ‌

At‌ ‌first,‌ ‌you‌ ‌were‌ ‌still‌ ‌worried‌ ‌about‌ ‌Da-shaoye,‌ ‌but‌ ‌now‌ ‌look,‌ ‌

Da-shaoye‌ ‌also‌ ‌has‌ ‌his‌ ‌own‌ ‌gift‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Exactly‌ ‌as‌ ‌you‌ ‌say‌ ‌haha.‌ ‌Before,‌ ‌I‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌treat‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌very‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌future,‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌definitely‌ ‌make‌ ‌it‌ ‌up‌ ‌to‌ ‌him!”‌ ‌In‌ ‌a‌ ‌pretty‌ ‌good‌ ‌

mood,‌ ‌the‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌indeed‌ ‌felt‌ ‌a‌ ‌bit‌ ‌of‌ ‌regret.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌past,‌ ‌he‌ ‌really‌ ‌did‌ ‌favor‌ ‌his‌ ‌younger‌ ‌son‌ ‌more.‌ ‌But‌ ‌who‌ ‌let‌ ‌

his‌ ‌younger‌ ‌son‌ ‌be‌ ‌more‌ ‌outstanding?‌ ‌Testing‌ ‌for‌ ‌such‌ ‌high‌ ‌

abilities‌ ‌at‌ ‌only‌ ‌10‌ ‌years‌ ‌old.‌ ‌He‌ ‌definitely‌ ‌needed‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌groomed‌ ‌

well.‌ ‌Unlike‌ ‌his‌ ‌eldest‌ ‌son‌ ‌who‌ ‌spent‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌day‌ ‌drinking‌ ‌and‌ ‌

playing.‌ ‌

 ‌

Good‌ ‌thing,‌ ‌this‌ ‌brat‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌still‌ ‌had‌ ‌a‌ ‌bit‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌own‌ ‌talent.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Oh‌ ‌right,‌ ‌where’s‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌right‌ ‌now?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Master,‌ ‌Da-shaoye‌ ‌went‌ ‌out.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“This‌ ‌child.”‌ ‌The‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌furrowed‌ ‌his‌ ‌brows‌ ‌

again:‌ ‌“The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌are‌ ‌in‌ ‌two‌ ‌days.‌ ‌Why’s‌ ‌he‌ ‌still‌ ‌running‌ ‌amok?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Despite‌ ‌saying‌ ‌this,‌ ‌the‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌Family‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌

make‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌unhappy,‌ ‌because‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌already‌ ‌become‌ ‌the‌ ‌

face‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family’s‌ ‌reputation‌ ‌right‌ ‌now.‌ ‌After‌ ‌complaining‌ ‌

slightly,‌ ‌the‌ ‌head‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌say‌ ‌anymore.‌ ‌

 ‌

Meanwhile,‌ ‌at‌ ‌this‌ ‌time.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌a‌ ‌research‌ ‌facility‌ ‌far‌ ‌away‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌

was‌ ‌currently‌ ‌throwing‌ ‌a‌ ‌temper.‌ ‌

 ‌

“How‌ ‌can‌ ‌it‌ ‌not‌ ‌work?‌ ‌I‌ ‌followed‌ ‌this‌ ‌design‌ ‌completely!‌ ‌It’s‌ ‌

exactly‌ ‌the‌ ‌same!”‌ ‌

 ‌

A‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designer‌ ‌said‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌small‌ ‌tiny‌ ‌voice:‌ ‌“Hong-shaoye,‌ ‌I‌ ‌told‌ ‌

you‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌start.‌ ‌This‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌

have‌ ‌anything‌ ‌special‌ ‌to‌ ‌it.‌ ‌On‌ ‌the‌ ‌contrary,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌very‌ ‌simple‌ ‌and‌ ‌

crude.‌ ‌Anyone‌ ‌can‌ ‌create‌ ‌it.‌ ‌In‌ ‌my‌ ‌opinion,‌ ‌from‌ ‌what‌ ‌I‌ ‌can‌ ‌see‌ ‌

of‌ ‌its‌ ‌structure,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌created‌ ‌completely‌ ‌using‌ ‌useless,‌ ‌tossed‌ ‌

away‌ ‌garbage‌ ‌components.‌ ‌Nothing‌ ‌here‌ ‌is‌ ‌capable‌ ‌of‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌radiation.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌grabbed‌ ‌him‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌shirt‌ ‌collar‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌furiously:‌ ‌

“Then‌ ‌how‌ ‌can‌ ‌that‌ ‌decrepit‌ ‌robot‌ ‌do‌ ‌it?!‌ ‌The‌ ‌same‌ ‌assembly‌ ‌

method,‌ ‌why‌ ‌can‌ ‌he‌ ‌create‌ ‌a‌ ‌robot‌ ‌that‌ ‌can‌ ‌shield‌ ‌energy‌ ‌

radiation‌ ‌by‌ ‌100%?!‌ ‌

 ‌

Afraid‌ ‌that‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌would‌ ‌really‌ ‌hurt‌ ‌him‌ ‌or‌ ‌something,‌ ‌the‌ ‌

mecha‌ ‌designer‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌explained:‌ ‌“According‌ ‌to‌ ‌my‌ ‌hypothesis,‌ ‌

perhaps‌ ‌the‌ ‌step‌ ‌involving‌ ‌connecting‌ ‌the‌ ‌wires‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌

source‌ ‌differs.‌ ‌The‌ ‌person‌ ‌who‌ ‌created‌ ‌this‌ ‌robot……‌ ‌may‌ ‌have‌ ‌

a……‌ ‌very‌ ‌high‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level……”‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌process‌ ‌of‌ ‌building‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌connecting‌ ‌the‌ ‌wires‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌was‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌most‌ ‌important‌ ‌steps.‌ ‌The‌ ‌theory‌ ‌

here‌ ‌was‌ ‌guiding‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌stone‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌

connecting‌ ‌wires.‌ ‌If‌ ‌this‌ ‌step‌ ‌was‌ ‌done‌ ‌well,‌ ‌it‌ ‌can‌ ‌reduce‌ ‌the‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌by‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌reason‌ ‌why‌ ‌people‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌universe‌ ‌placed‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌of‌ ‌value‌ ‌in‌ ‌

psychic‌ ‌level‌ ‌was‌ ‌mostly‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌this.‌ ‌With‌ ‌a‌ ‌high‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌

level,‌ ‌no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what‌ ‌profession,‌ ‌the‌ ‌individual‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌the‌ ‌

cream‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌crop.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌profession‌ ‌of‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌same.‌ ‌With‌ ‌

a‌ ‌higher‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level,‌ ‌the‌ ‌largest‌ ‌possible‌ ‌amount‌ ‌of‌ ‌energy‌ ‌can‌ ‌

be‌ ‌guided‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌wires,‌ ‌which‌ ‌results‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌decreased‌ ‌level‌ ‌of‌ ‌

radiation.‌ ‌

 ‌

Yet‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level‌ ‌was‌ ‌only‌ ‌B+,‌ ‌not‌ ‌even‌ ‌reaching‌ ‌A.‌ ‌

His‌ ‌physical‌ ‌strength‌ ‌just‌ ‌barely‌ ‌reached‌ ‌A.‌ ‌

 ‌

However,‌ ‌after‌ ‌so‌ ‌many‌ ‌years‌ ‌of‌ ‌debauchery‌ ‌and‌ ‌drinking,‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌

long‌ ‌since‌ ‌destroyed‌ ‌his‌ ‌body.‌ ‌Right‌ ‌now,‌ ‌his‌ ‌physical‌ ‌strength‌ ‌

probably‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌reach‌ ‌A.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hearing‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌complexion‌ ‌became‌ ‌even‌ ‌more‌ ‌

unsightly.‌ ‌In‌ ‌anger,‌ ‌he‌ ‌smashed‌ ‌everything‌ ‌in‌ ‌front‌ ‌of‌ ‌him‌ ‌onto‌ ‌

the‌ ‌floor!‌ ‌

 ‌

“Useless‌ ‌trash!”‌ ‌He‌ ‌cursed‌ ‌quietly.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌opened‌ ‌his‌ ‌personal‌ ‌comm‌ ‌and‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌

information‌ ‌sent‌ ‌by‌ ‌Manager‌ ‌Huan‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌online‌ ‌market‌ ‌

company.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌identification‌ ‌card‌ ‌that‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌

submitted.‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌were‌ ‌filled‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌dark‌ ‌haze.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌was‌ ‌indeed‌ ‌the‌ ‌person‌ ‌who‌ ‌had‌ ‌bought‌ ‌the‌ ‌robot.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌

almost‌ ‌his‌ ‌little‌ ‌brother’s‌ ‌birthday.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌he‌ ‌detested‌ ‌his‌ ‌step‌ ‌

mother‌ ‌and‌ ‌his‌ ‌little‌ ‌brother.‌ ‌Even‌ ‌more‌ ‌so,‌ ‌he‌ ‌detested‌ ‌his‌ ‌

father’s‌ ‌fickleness‌ ‌and‌ ‌favoritism.‌ ‌Naturally,‌ ‌he‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌planning‌ ‌to‌ ‌

prepare‌ ‌a‌ ‌thoughtful‌ ‌birthday‌ ‌present.‌ ‌

 ‌

Not‌ ‌only‌ ‌this,‌ ‌he‌ ‌even‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌disgust‌ ‌his‌ ‌step‌ ‌mother‌ ‌and‌ ‌little‌ ‌

brother‌ ‌just‌ ‌a‌ ‌bit.‌ ‌Thus,‌ ‌he‌ ‌started‌ ‌randomly‌ ‌searching‌ ‌around‌ ‌

online‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌if‌ ‌there‌ ‌was‌ ‌anything‌ ‌shoddy‌ ‌that‌ ‌was‌ ‌most‌ ‌suited‌ ‌

for‌ ‌nauseating‌ ‌an‌ ‌aristocrat.‌ ‌

 ‌

Then‌ ‌he‌ ‌ended‌ ‌up‌ ‌finding‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#1.‌ ‌PoLan#1‌ ‌really‌ ‌looked‌ ‌

very‌ ‌decrepit.‌ ‌ ‌

 ‌

However,‌ ‌after‌ ‌he‌ ‌bought‌ ‌it,‌ ‌he‌ ‌discovered‌ ‌that‌ ‌there‌ ‌was‌ ‌

something‌ ‌strange‌ ‌about‌ ‌this‌ ‌robot.‌ ‌Its‌ ‌energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌was‌ ‌0.‌ ‌

In‌ ‌other‌ ‌words,‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌in‌ ‌this‌ ‌

robot‌ ‌was‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌completely.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌dumb.‌ ‌Naturally‌ ‌he‌ ‌knew‌ ‌what‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌

treasure‌ ‌this‌ ‌was.‌ ‌Immediately,‌ ‌he‌ ‌contacted‌ ‌the‌ ‌shop‌ ‌owner,‌ ‌

wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌buy‌ ‌more.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌he‌ ‌never‌ ‌received‌ ‌any‌ ‌replies‌ ‌

from‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌side.‌ ‌Even‌ ‌the‌ ‌location‌ ‌where‌ ‌the‌ ‌delivery‌ ‌came‌ ‌

from‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌name‌ ‌of‌ ‌a‌ ‌random‌ ‌remote‌ ‌planet.‌ ‌

 ‌

If‌ ‌someone‌ ‌had‌ ‌power‌ ‌and‌ ‌prestige,‌ ‌and‌ ‌were‌ ‌capable‌ ‌of‌ ‌creating‌ ‌

a‌ ‌robot‌ ‌like‌ ‌this,‌ ‌no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌unlikely‌ ‌for‌ ‌them‌ ‌to‌ ‌open‌ ‌

a‌ ‌shop‌ ‌online‌ ‌like‌ ‌this.‌ ‌And‌ ‌to‌ ‌even‌ ‌sell‌ ‌it‌ ‌for‌ ‌only‌ ‌a‌ ‌few‌ ‌thousand‌ ‌

coins.‌ ‌

 ‌

This‌ ‌must‌ ‌have‌ ‌been‌ ‌a‌ ‌commoner.‌ ‌

 ‌

Since‌ ‌the‌ ‌shop‌ ‌owner‌ ‌had‌ ‌refused‌ ‌to‌ ‌collaborate,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌

had‌ ‌another‌ ‌plan.‌ ‌He‌ ‌can‌ ‌use‌ ‌this‌ ‌energy‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌to‌ ‌

enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌Grand‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designing‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌and‌ ‌ride‌ ‌to‌ ‌victory.‌ ‌

Then‌ ‌he‌ ‌could‌ ‌enjoy‌ ‌glory‌ ‌and‌ ‌adulation‌ ‌like‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌never‌ ‌

experienced‌ ‌before.‌ ‌ ‌

 ‌

But‌ ‌he‌ ‌would‌ ‌have‌ ‌never‌ ‌imagined,‌ ‌this‌ ‌seemingly‌ ‌easy‌ ‌to‌ ‌

replicate‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌as‌ ‌simple‌ ‌as‌ ‌he‌ ‌

had‌ ‌thought.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designer‌ ‌quietly‌ ‌asked:‌ ‌“Young‌ ‌master,‌ ‌what‌ ‌do‌ ‌we‌ ‌do‌ ‌

now?‌ ‌The‌ ‌big‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌are‌ ‌all‌ ‌waiting‌ ‌to‌ ‌

sign‌ ‌contracts‌ ‌with‌ ‌us.‌ ‌The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌are‌ ‌in‌ ‌two‌ ‌days‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌We……”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌sent‌ ‌him‌ ‌the‌ ‌info‌ ‌that‌ ‌Manager‌ ‌Huang‌ ‌provided‌ ‌

coldly‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌heavy‌ ‌voice:‌ ‌“You‌ ‌can‌ ‌sign‌ ‌the‌ ‌contracts.‌ ‌Let‌ ‌

them‌ ‌pay‌ ‌for‌ ‌2/3‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌expense‌ ‌first.‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌continue‌ ‌to‌ ‌

participate‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌and‌ ‌send‌ ‌people‌ ‌to‌ ‌kidnap‌ ‌

this‌ ‌person‌ ‌back.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hearing‌ ‌this,‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designer‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌dare‌ ‌to‌ ‌respond.‌ ‌He‌ ‌

understood‌ ‌what‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌meant‌ ‌very‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌kidnapping‌ ‌this‌ ‌person‌ ‌back,‌ ‌they‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌locked‌ ‌up‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌

closed‌ ‌off‌ ‌research‌ ‌facility,‌ ‌only‌ ‌permitted‌ ‌to‌ ‌connect‌ ‌these‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌wires,‌ ‌day‌ ‌in‌ ‌and‌ ‌out.‌ ‌And‌ ‌those‌ ‌things‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌sold‌ ‌out‌ ‌

under‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌name.‌ ‌

 ‌

-‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌know‌ ‌he‌ ‌was‌ ‌being‌ ‌hunted.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌was‌ ‌busy‌ ‌studying‌ ‌the‌ ‌schedule‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament.‌ ‌

The‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌was‌ ‌separated‌ ‌into‌ ‌three‌ ‌phases.‌ ‌The‌ ‌first‌ ‌

phase‌ ‌involves‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system.‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌

core‌ ‌of‌ ‌every‌ ‌mecha.‌ ‌Without‌ ‌an‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌system,‌ ‌nothing‌ ‌

else‌ ‌works.‌ ‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌second‌ ‌phase‌ ‌involves‌ ‌the‌ ‌polish‌ ‌and‌ ‌design‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha’s‌ ‌

individual‌ ‌components.‌ ‌The‌ ‌third‌ ‌phase‌ ‌involves‌ ‌assembling‌ ‌the‌ ‌

mecha‌ ‌together.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌consisted‌ ‌of‌ ‌these‌ ‌three‌ ‌phases.‌ ‌After‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌is‌ ‌

assembled,‌ ‌the‌ ‌stats‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌are‌ ‌judged‌ ‌to‌ ‌determine‌ ‌the‌ ‌

winner.‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌the‌ ‌winning‌ ‌creator‌ ‌is‌ ‌selected,‌ ‌there‌ ‌will‌ ‌also‌ ‌be‌ ‌an‌ ‌

entertainment‌ ‌segment--‌ ‌a‌ ‌casual,‌ ‌fun‌ ‌match.‌ ‌

 ‌

Anyone‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌able‌ ‌to‌ ‌issue‌ ‌a‌ ‌duel‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌winning‌ ‌

mecha‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌fun‌ ‌match.‌ ‌This‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌duel‌ ‌ends‌ ‌upon‌ ‌touch,‌ ‌but‌ ‌it‌ ‌

allows‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌the‌ ‌specific‌ ‌capabilities‌ ‌and‌ ‌strengths‌ ‌of‌ ‌

the‌ ‌winning‌ ‌mecha.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌carefully‌ ‌examined‌ ‌this‌ ‌segment,‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌bright.‌ ‌

 ‌

Then,‌ ‌he‌ ‌called‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌military.‌ ‌

 ‌

Recently,‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌Legion‌ ‌was‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌pretty‌ ‌bad‌ ‌

mood.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌reason‌ ‌was‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level.‌ ‌

 ‌

Although‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌Legions‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌say‌ ‌it‌ ‌outright,‌ ‌secretly‌ ‌they‌ ‌

had‌ ‌been‌ ‌ridiculing‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌Legion,‌ ‌saying‌ ‌that‌ ‌their‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌legion’s‌ ‌

commander‌ ‌was‌ ‌about‌ ‌to‌ ‌switch‌ ‌to‌ ‌another‌ ‌person;‌ ‌that‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun‌ ‌can‌ ‌no‌ ‌longer‌ ‌be‌ ‌the‌ ‌commander.‌ ‌

 ‌

This‌ ‌impacted‌ ‌the‌ ‌mood‌ ‌of‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌legion.‌ ‌They‌ ‌

didn’t‌ ‌actually‌ ‌want‌ ‌someone‌ ‌else‌ ‌to‌ ‌come‌ ‌and‌ ‌replace‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun,‌ ‌because‌ ‌almost‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌here‌ ‌were‌ ‌soldiers‌ ‌trained‌ ‌by‌ ‌

the‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌family.‌ ‌

 ‌

If‌ ‌not‌ ‌the‌ ‌previous‌ ‌battle‌ ‌god,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌Tian;‌ ‌then‌ ‌the‌ ‌current‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun.‌ ‌

 ‌

Because‌ ‌of‌ ‌this‌ ‌impact,‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌last‌ ‌few‌ ‌days,‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌has‌ ‌been‌ ‌

listless.‌ ‌During‌ ‌training,‌ ‌their‌ ‌scores‌ ‌were‌ ‌so‌ ‌bad,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌an‌ ‌utter‌ ‌

disaster.‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌these‌ ‌scores,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌held‌ ‌a‌ ‌meeting.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌meeting,‌ ‌he‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌actually‌ ‌scold‌ ‌people‌ ‌directly.‌ ‌He‌ ‌only‌ ‌

projected‌ ‌the‌ ‌videos‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌training‌ ‌onto‌ ‌the‌ ‌screen.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Lieutenant‌ ‌Su.‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌your‌ ‌summary‌ ‌score‌ ‌from‌ ‌today’s‌ ‌

training.”‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌voice‌ ‌was‌ ‌as‌ ‌tranquil‌ ‌as‌ ‌before.‌ ‌His‌ ‌

handsome,‌ ‌ironclad‌ ‌face‌ ‌was‌ ‌in‌ ‌its‌ ‌usual‌ ‌calm.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌this‌ ‌

intangible‌ ‌sense‌ ‌of‌ ‌pressure‌ ‌made‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌inside‌ ‌the‌ ‌conference‌ ‌

room‌ ‌feel‌ ‌like‌ ‌a‌ ‌mountain‌ ‌was‌ ‌pressing‌ ‌down‌ ‌on‌ ‌their‌ ‌chest.‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌said‌ ‌coolly:‌ ‌“It’s‌ ‌4‌ ‌points‌ ‌lower‌ ‌than‌ ‌your‌ ‌usual‌ ‌

score.‌ ‌It’s‌ ‌1‌ ‌point‌ ‌lower‌ ‌than‌ ‌your‌ ‌own‌ ‌subordinate.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Wang‌ ‌Cheng,‌ ‌your‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌operation‌ ‌score‌ ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌lowest‌ ‌since‌ ‌you‌ ‌

joined.‌ ‌You’re‌ ‌making‌ ‌me‌ ‌doubt‌ ‌my‌ ‌original‌ ‌decision‌ ‌of‌ ‌

transferring‌ ‌you‌ ‌over‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌academy.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Zhang‌ ‌KaiWen,‌ ‌is‌ ‌there‌ ‌something‌ ‌wrong‌ ‌with‌ ‌your‌ ‌eyes?‌ ‌

Shooting‌ ‌10‌ ‌targets,‌ ‌missing‌ ‌3.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌spoke‌ ‌calmly,‌ ‌but‌ ‌every‌ ‌person‌ ‌who‌ ‌got‌ ‌called‌ ‌out‌ ‌

all‌ ‌lowered‌ ‌their‌ ‌heads‌ ‌in‌ ‌shame,‌ ‌face‌ ‌color‌ ‌turning‌ ‌red‌ ‌and‌ ‌then‌ ‌

white.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Admiral,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌because‌ ‌we……”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌nodded‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌faintly,‌ ‌interrupting‌ ‌them:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌

want‌ ‌to‌ ‌hear‌ ‌any‌ ‌excuses.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“You‌ ‌guys‌ ‌enlisted‌ ‌not‌ ‌for‌ ‌me.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌for‌ ‌yourself.‌ ‌For‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire.‌ ‌

No‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what‌ ‌your‌ ‌reason‌ ‌is,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌not‌ ‌an‌ ‌excuse‌ ‌for‌ ‌your‌ ‌

setbacks.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Those‌ ‌people‌ ‌who‌ ‌got‌ ‌called‌ ‌out‌ ‌all‌ ‌panicked.‌ ‌They‌ ‌knew‌ ‌very‌ ‌

well‌ ‌that‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌definitely‌ ‌wouldn’t‌ ‌tolerate‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌

situation.‌ ‌Deeply‌ ‌afraid‌ ‌that‌ ‌they‌ ‌might‌ ‌be‌ ‌dismissed‌ ‌before‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun‌ ‌even‌ ‌left‌ ‌himself,‌ ‌they‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Admiral,‌ ‌give‌ ‌us‌ ‌

another‌ ‌chance!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌say‌ ‌anything.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌intangible‌ ‌sense‌ ‌of‌ ‌pressure‌ ‌slowly‌ ‌enveloped‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌

meeting.‌ ‌The‌ ‌heaviness‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌air‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌made‌ ‌people‌ ‌feel‌ ‌

breathless.‌ ‌

 ‌

Under‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌intolerable‌ ‌atmosphere,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌comm‌ ‌

suddenly‌ ‌started‌ ‌ringing.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌felt‌ ‌even‌ ‌more‌ ‌panicked‌ ‌inside.‌ ‌They‌ ‌can‌ ‌all‌ ‌tell‌ ‌that‌ ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌was‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌terrible‌ ‌mood.‌ ‌Jumping‌ ‌in‌ ‌at‌ ‌a‌ ‌time‌ ‌like‌ ‌

this,‌ ‌was‌ ‌this‌ ‌person‌ ‌rushing‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌yelled‌ ‌at?‌ ‌What‌ ‌if‌ ‌they‌ ‌made‌ ‌

the‌ ‌admiral’s‌ ‌mood‌ ‌worse,‌ ‌then‌ ‌what!‌ ‌

 ‌

Unexpectedly,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌ironclad‌ ‌face‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌softened‌ ‌with‌ ‌

only‌ ‌a‌ ‌glance‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌comm‌ ‌number.‌ ‌The‌ ‌depths‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌gained‌ ‌

some‌ ‌warmth‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

Sweeping‌ ‌his‌ ‌gaze‌ ‌around‌ ‌the‌ ‌conference‌ ‌room,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌got‌ ‌

up‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌coolly:‌ ‌“Whatever‌ ‌your‌ ‌reason‌ ‌is,‌ ‌I‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌

it‌ ‌happening‌ ‌again.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Yes,‌ ‌admiral!”‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌throwing‌ ‌down‌ ‌these‌ ‌words,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌started‌ ‌to‌ ‌walk‌ ‌

out‌ ‌in‌ ‌large‌ ‌strides.‌ ‌At‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌time,‌ ‌he‌ ‌answered‌ ‌the‌ ‌call.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌sharp-eared‌ ‌people‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌heard‌ ‌a‌ ‌happy,‌ ‌pleasant‌ ‌

sounding‌ ‌voice‌ ‌travel‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌conference‌ ‌room.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun!‌ ‌Are‌ ‌you‌ ‌busy?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌quietly‌ ‌replied:‌ ‌“Not‌ ‌busy,‌ ‌what’s‌ ‌the‌ ‌matter?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“You‌ ‌seem‌ ‌to‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌of‌ ‌people‌ ‌next‌ ‌to‌ ‌you.‌ ‌Do‌ ‌they‌ ‌need‌ ‌you‌ ‌

for‌ ‌something?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“No,‌ ‌they’re‌ ‌all‌ ‌fake‌ ‌people.‌ ‌Statues.”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌stopped,‌ ‌completely‌ ‌motionless,‌ ‌all‌ ‌

pretending‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌fake‌ ‌people:‌ ‌“......”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌walked‌ ‌out‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌big‌ ‌doors‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌conference‌ ‌room.‌ ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌could‌ ‌no‌ ‌longer‌ ‌see‌ ‌the‌ ‌people‌ ‌behind‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun.‌ ‌Therefore,‌ ‌he‌ ‌no‌ ‌longer‌ ‌questioned‌ ‌if‌ ‌those‌ ‌were‌ ‌fake‌ ‌

people‌ ‌or‌ ‌not.‌ ‌Instead,‌ ‌he‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Do‌ ‌you‌ ‌have‌ ‌time‌ ‌in‌ ‌two‌ ‌days?‌ ‌

Let’s‌ ‌go‌ ‌see‌ ‌the‌ ‌finals‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌in‌ ‌person?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌acknowledged‌ ‌with‌ ‌an‌ ‌‘en’:‌ ‌“What‌ ‌do‌ ‌you‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌

do?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌hummed‌ ‌twice.‌ ‌He‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌explain,‌ ‌but‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“You’ll‌ ‌

know‌ ‌when‌ ‌the‌ ‌time‌ ‌comes!”‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌two‌ ‌days.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌officially‌ ‌began.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designing‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌can‌ ‌be‌ ‌counted‌ ‌as‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌those‌ ‌

events‌ ‌that‌ ‌all‌ ‌citizens‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire‌ ‌paid‌ ‌close‌ ‌attention‌ ‌to.‌ ‌On‌ ‌

the‌ ‌day‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌finals,‌ ‌the‌ ‌site‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌was‌ ‌packed‌ ‌with‌ ‌

an‌ ‌ocean‌ ‌of‌ ‌people.‌ ‌Those‌ ‌unable‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌it‌ ‌in‌ ‌person‌ ‌still‌ ‌waited‌ ‌

online‌ ‌in‌ ‌front‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌screen‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌live‌ ‌broadcast.‌ ‌

 ‌

Early‌ ‌morning‌ ‌on‌ ‌this‌ ‌day,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌and‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌left‌ ‌

together‌ ‌to‌ ‌pick‌ ‌up‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan,‌ ‌planning‌ ‌to‌ ‌take‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌to‌ ‌

see‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌coming‌ ‌back‌ ‌these‌ ‌last‌ ‌few‌ ‌days,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌has‌ ‌been‌ ‌

supervised‌ ‌by‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌to‌ ‌participate‌ ‌in‌ ‌great‌ ‌master‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌

LuEn’s‌ ‌examinations‌ ‌and‌ ‌tests.‌ ‌It’s‌ ‌been‌ ‌two‌ ‌days‌ ‌since‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌

Zhou‌ ‌saw‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan.‌ ‌He‌ ‌rather‌ ‌missed‌ ‌it.‌ ‌

 ‌

Arriving‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌research‌ ‌facility,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌saw‌ ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌waiting‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌entrance.‌ ‌

 ‌

Seeing‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌also‌ ‌acted‌ ‌like‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌a‌ ‌lover‌ ‌

and‌ ‌affectionately‌ ‌hugged‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌thighs.‌ ‌Its‌ ‌mechanical‌ ‌

head‌ ‌rubbed‌ ‌back‌ ‌and‌ ‌forth‌ ‌on‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌legs‌ ‌as‌ ‌it‌ ‌let‌ ‌out‌ ‌

mechanical‌ ‌“sob‌ ‌sob‌ ‌sob”‌ ‌sounds.‌ ‌

 ‌

Looking‌ ‌like‌ ‌it‌ ‌really‌ ‌suffered‌ ‌quite‌ ‌the‌ ‌injustice.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌picked‌ ‌up‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌heartache:‌ ‌“Be‌ ‌good,‌ ‌

don’t‌ ‌cry.‌ ‌I’m‌ ‌picking‌ ‌you‌ ‌up‌ ‌right‌ ‌now.‌ ‌Sorry,‌ ‌you‌ ‌were‌ ‌forced‌ ‌to‌ ‌

work‌ ‌hard‌ ‌the‌ ‌last‌ ‌few‌ ‌days.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌and‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌LuEn:‌ ‌“......”‌ ‌

 ‌

No.‌ ‌It‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌work‌ ‌hard‌ ‌at‌ ‌all.‌ ‌Clearly,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌us‌ ‌who‌ ‌worked‌ ‌hard!‌ ‌

 ‌

Only‌ ‌heaven‌ ‌knew‌ ‌how‌ ‌hard‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌to‌ ‌deal‌ ‌with‌ ‌this‌ ‌PoLan-daye!‌ ‌

 ‌

No‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what‌ ‌experiment‌ ‌they‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌do,‌ ‌without‌ ‌10‌ ‌

sentences‌ ‌of‌ ‌praise,‌ ‌it‌ ‌would‌ ‌refuse‌ ‌to‌ ‌cooperate!‌ ‌

 ‌

Good‌ ‌thing‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌had‌ ‌a‌ ‌sweet‌ ‌mouth‌ ‌and‌ ‌knew‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌

give‌ ‌all‌ ‌sorts‌ ‌of‌ ‌flattery.‌ ‌He‌ ‌managed‌ ‌to‌ ‌coax‌ ‌PoLan-daye‌ ‌into‌ ‌a‌ ‌

pretty‌ ‌good‌ ‌mood‌ ‌to‌ ‌cooperate‌ ‌with‌ ‌their‌ ‌examinations.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌was‌ ‌unaware‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌twists‌ ‌and‌ ‌turns‌ ‌in‌ ‌here.‌ ‌He‌ ‌

only‌ ‌saw‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌sulking‌ ‌and‌ ‌felt‌ ‌his‌ ‌heart‌ ‌about‌ ‌to‌ ‌melt:‌ ‌“Ok‌ ‌

ok‌ ‌ok.‌ ‌In‌ ‌the‌ ‌future,‌ ‌I’ll‌ ‌keep‌ ‌you‌ ‌by‌ ‌myself‌ ‌always……‌ ‌En‌ ‌En?‌ ‌

Was‌ ‌it‌ ‌very‌ ‌tiring?‌ ‌Doing‌ ‌so‌ ‌many‌ ‌inspections‌ ‌everyday?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌gave‌ ‌the‌ ‌great‌ ‌master‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌LuEn‌ ‌a‌ ‌disapproving‌ ‌look.‌ ‌

 ‌

Ge‌ ‌LuEn:‌ ‌“.......”‌ ‌

 ‌

Three!‌ ‌They‌ ‌only‌ ‌did‌ ‌three‌ ‌inspections‌ ‌per‌ ‌day!‌ ‌

 ‌

Everytime‌ ‌they‌ ‌finished‌ ‌an‌ ‌inspection,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌needed‌ ‌to‌ ‌

watch‌ ‌four‌ ‌hours‌ ‌of‌ ‌cartoons!‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌rubbed‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan’s‌ ‌head:‌ ‌“Oh‌ ‌right,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan.‌ ‌

Let‌ ‌me‌ ‌introduce‌ ‌to‌ ‌you‌ ‌briefly.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌pulled‌ ‌out‌ ‌another‌ ‌little‌ ‌robot‌ ‌from‌ ‌his‌ ‌GanKun‌ ‌

pouch‌ ‌and‌ ‌happily‌ ‌introduced‌ ‌it‌ ‌to‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan:‌ ‌“Xiao‌ ‌PoLan,‌ ‌look.‌ ‌

This‌ ‌is‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌became‌ ‌stunned.‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan:‌ ‌“????”‌ ‌

 ‌

This‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌reason‌ ‌why‌ ‌you‌ ‌threw‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌care‌ ‌of‌ ‌someone‌ ‌

else?‌ ‌

 ‌

I‌ ‌already‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌version‌ ‌#4???‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌dumbfounded‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌and‌ ‌

explained‌ ‌happily:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌just‌ ‌finished‌ ‌making‌ ‌it‌ ‌yesterday!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4‌ ‌was‌ ‌taller‌ ‌than‌ ‌it,‌ ‌newer‌ ‌than‌ ‌it,‌ ‌and‌ ‌also‌ ‌cooler‌ ‌

than‌ ‌it.‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan:‌ ‌“......”‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌stopped‌ ‌replying.‌ ‌

 ‌

It‌ ‌slowly‌ ‌rolled‌ ‌its‌ ‌wheels,‌ ‌and‌ ‌rolled‌ ‌back‌ ‌to‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue’s‌ ‌side.‌ ‌

 ‌

Sure‌ ‌enough.‌ ‌Affairs‌ ‌only‌ ‌occurred‌ ‌0‌ ‌times‌ ‌or‌ ‌countless‌ ‌times.‌ ‌

 ‌

Ever‌ ‌since‌ ‌Master‌ ‌made‌ ‌#1,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌been‌ ‌nonstop.‌ ‌Right‌ ‌now,‌ ‌there‌ ‌

was‌ ‌even‌ ‌a‌ ‌version‌ ‌#4.‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌raised‌ ‌its‌ ‌head‌ ‌and‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌briefly.‌ ‌

Forget‌ ‌it,‌ ‌forget‌ ‌it.‌ ‌A‌ ‌demon‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌have‌ ‌such‌ ‌high‌ ‌demands.‌ ‌

Having‌ ‌a‌ ‌human‌ ‌slave‌ ‌was‌ ‌enough.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌next‌ ‌second,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌gave‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4‌ ‌to‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌

JinXue.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Cheng‌ ‌JinXue!‌ ‌I’m‌ ‌giving‌ ‌#4‌ ‌to‌ ‌you!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan:‌ ‌“???”‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌became‌ ‌delighted:‌ ‌“Zhou‌ ‌Zhou,‌ ‌is‌ ‌this‌ ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌as‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌HongYi‌ ‌and‌ ‌Zhang‌ ‌Feng’s……‌ ‌Can‌ ‌

it‌ ‌be‌ ‌linked‌ ‌through‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌powers?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“That’s‌ ‌right!”‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌proudly‌ ‌puffed‌ ‌up‌ ‌his‌ ‌chest:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌also‌ ‌

modified‌ ‌it.‌ ‌Once‌ ‌it‌ ‌recognizes‌ ‌you‌ ‌as‌ ‌its‌ ‌master,‌ ‌you’ll‌ ‌know‌ ‌what‌ ‌

#4‌ ‌can‌ ‌do.”‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌this‌ ‌robot,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌able‌ ‌to‌ ‌expand‌ ‌

his‌ ‌customers‌ ‌for‌ ‌two‌ ‌nights!‌ ‌

 ‌

Thus,‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌road‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament,‌ ‌inside‌ ‌the‌ ‌hover‌ ‌car,‌ ‌

the‌ ‌stupidly‌ ‌happy‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌endlessly‌ ‌exclaimed‌ ‌how‌ ‌

awesome‌ ‌and‌ ‌amazing‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4‌ ‌was.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌corner,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌watched‌ ‌their‌ ‌gaiety‌ ‌and‌ ‌scoffed‌ ‌coldly.‌ ‌

 ‌

Their‌ ‌gaiety‌ ‌has‌ ‌nothing‌ ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌with‌ ‌me.‌ ‌I‌ ‌only‌ ‌think‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌noisy.‌ ‌

 ‌

-‌ ‌

 ‌

Arriving‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌location‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Tournament,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌

exclaimed‌ ‌once‌ ‌again,‌ ‌there‌ ‌were‌ ‌so‌ ‌many‌ ‌people!‌ ‌

 ‌

Then‌ ‌he‌ ‌became‌ ‌even‌ ‌happier.‌ ‌Tonight‌ ‌he‌ ‌was‌ ‌going‌ ‌to‌ ‌work‌ ‌

overtime‌ ‌again!‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌had‌ ‌special‌ ‌privileges.‌ ‌He‌ ‌also‌ ‌made‌ ‌early‌ ‌

arrangements‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌seating.‌ ‌He‌ ‌directly‌ ‌brought‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌

to‌ ‌a‌ ‌relatively‌ ‌quiet‌ ‌place.‌ ‌

 ‌

At‌ ‌this‌ ‌time,‌ ‌the‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌already‌ ‌proceeded‌ ‌halfway.‌ ‌Amongst‌ ‌

the‌ ‌10‌ ‌people‌ ‌participating,‌ ‌6‌ ‌people‌ ‌have‌ ‌already‌ ‌finished‌ ‌

assembling‌ ‌their‌ ‌mechas.‌ ‌

 ‌

However,‌ ‌most‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd’s‌ ‌attention‌ ‌was‌ ‌focused‌ ‌on‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌

ShiJun.‌ ‌

 ‌

Everyone‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌know‌ ‌just‌ ‌how‌ ‌powerful‌ ‌was‌ ‌this‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌

made‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌competition’s‌ ‌dark‌ ‌horse,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌various‌ ‌big‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌stared‌ ‌even‌ ‌

more‌ ‌closely,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌urgently‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌the‌ ‌birth‌ ‌of‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌

capable‌ ‌of‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌100%!‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌was‌ ‌also‌ ‌watching‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun.‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌

looked‌ ‌pretty‌ ‌much‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌as‌ ‌what‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌zhou‌ ‌saw‌ ‌online.‌ ‌

He‌ ‌carried‌ ‌an‌ ‌unpleasant‌ ‌odor‌ ‌around‌ ‌him.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌furrowed‌ ‌his‌ ‌brows‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌quietly:‌ ‌“The‌ ‌smell‌ ‌on‌ ‌

him‌ ‌is‌ ‌really‌ ‌unpleasant.‌ ‌He‌ ‌must‌ ‌have‌ ‌done‌ ‌plenty‌ ‌of‌ ‌bad‌ ‌

things.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hearing‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌get‌ ‌a‌ ‌chance‌ ‌to‌ ‌speak‌ ‌yet‌ ‌

when‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌LuEn‌ ‌said‌ ‌exasperatedly:‌ ‌“Little‌ ‌friend,‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌joke.‌ ‌We’re‌ ‌

in‌ ‌the‌ ‌observer’s‌ ‌booth.‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌is‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌competition‌ ‌field.‌ ‌

With‌ ‌such‌ ‌a‌ ‌distance,‌ ‌even‌ ‌just‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌him‌ ‌clearly‌ ‌requires‌ ‌

magnification‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌big‌ ‌screen.‌ ‌How‌ ‌can‌ ‌you‌ ‌smell‌ ‌his‌ ‌odor?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“You‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌understand.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Ge‌ ‌LuEn:‌ ‌“Okay‌ ‌okay‌ ‌okay.‌ ‌I‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌understand.‌ ‌Is‌ ‌it‌ ‌that‌ ‌God‌ ‌of‌ ‌

yours‌ ‌again‌ ‌who‌ ‌said‌ ‌this?‌ ‌Ai,‌ ‌you‌ ‌group‌ ‌of‌ ‌kids‌ ‌are‌ ‌really……‌ ‌so‌ ‌

superstitious‌ ‌every‌ ‌day.”‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌advise‌ ‌them‌ ‌anymore‌ ‌about‌ ‌how‌ ‌God‌ ‌

absolutely‌ ‌did‌ ‌not‌ ‌exist‌ ‌in‌ ‌this‌ ‌world.‌ ‌

 ‌

Last‌ ‌time,‌ ‌the‌ ‌little‌ ‌friend‌ ‌got‌ ‌angry‌ ‌at‌ ‌him‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌this.‌ ‌It‌ ‌

wasn’t‌ ‌good‌ ‌to‌ ‌bring‌ ‌it‌ ‌up‌ ‌again.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌only‌ ‌thing‌ ‌that‌ ‌made‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌LuEn‌ ‌rejoice‌ ‌was‌ ‌that‌ ‌this‌ ‌so-called‌ ‌

‘God‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wealth’‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌like‌ ‌the‌ ‌pagan‌ ‌god‌ ‌of‌ ‌an‌ ‌evil‌ ‌cult;‌ ‌he‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌

brainwash‌ ‌people‌ ‌into‌ ‌insanity.‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌reached‌ ‌out‌ ‌a‌ ‌hand‌ ‌and‌ ‌covered‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌

nose,‌ ‌saying‌ ‌softly:‌ ‌“Then‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌smell‌ ‌it.”‌ ‌

 ‌

His‌ ‌hand‌ ‌was‌ ‌very‌ ‌big.‌ ‌Covering‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌face,‌ ‌it‌ ‌made‌ ‌the‌ ‌

youth’s‌ ‌face‌ ‌seem‌ ‌even‌ ‌smaller.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌raised‌ ‌his‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌and‌ ‌met‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌eyes.‌ ‌Then‌ ‌

he‌ ‌swiftly‌ ‌looked‌ ‌away.‌ ‌Ears‌ ‌turning‌ ‌faintly‌ ‌red,‌ ‌he‌ ‌finally‌ ‌said‌ ‌‘en’‌ ‌

after‌ ‌a‌ ‌long‌ ‌while‌ ‌later.‌ ‌

 ‌

But‌ ‌he‌ ‌also‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌tell‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌to‌ ‌move‌ ‌his‌ ‌hand‌ ‌away.‌ ‌

Instead,‌ ‌he‌ ‌allowed‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌to‌ ‌cover‌ ‌his‌ ‌nose‌ ‌and‌ ‌face.‌ ‌

 ‌

Very‌ ‌quickly,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌also‌ ‌finished‌ ‌assembling‌ ‌his‌ ‌mecha.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌second‌ ‌to‌ ‌last‌ ‌to‌ ‌finish‌ ‌the‌ ‌assembly.‌ ‌Not‌ ‌long‌ ‌after‌ ‌

him,‌ ‌the‌ ‌last‌ ‌person‌ ‌also‌ ‌finished.‌ ‌

 ‌

Now‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌10‌ ‌contestants‌ ‌finished‌ ‌building‌ ‌their‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌

time‌ ‌to‌ ‌wait‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌judging.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌10‌ ‌people‌ ‌have‌ ‌already‌ ‌passed‌ ‌through‌ ‌several‌ ‌rounds‌ ‌of‌ ‌

eliminations‌ ‌to‌ ‌enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌finals.‌ ‌Naturally,‌ ‌each‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌

designs‌ ‌were‌ ‌strong.‌ ‌

 ‌

When‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌was‌ ‌judged,‌ ‌the‌ ‌official‌ ‌host‌ ‌gave‌ ‌an‌ ‌

extremely‌ ‌high‌ ‌evaluation‌ ‌result--‌ ‌

 ‌

“Offensive‌ ‌stats‌ ‌AA,‌ ‌defensive‌ ‌stats‌ ‌A+,‌ ‌resistance‌ ‌stats‌ ‌A+,‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌level‌ ‌0!”‌ ‌

 ‌

As‌ ‌soon‌ ‌as‌ ‌these‌ ‌words‌ ‌appeared,‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌threw‌ ‌an‌ ‌

uproar!‌ ‌

 ‌

Radiation‌ ‌level‌ ‌0!‌ ‌

 ‌

It‌ ‌really‌ ‌can‌ ‌shield‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌100%!‌ ‌

 ‌

To‌ ‌be‌ ‌able‌ ‌to‌ ‌enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌finals,‌ ‌the‌ ‌contestants‌ ‌were‌ ‌all‌ ‌basically‌ ‌

very‌ ‌outstanding‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designers.‌ ‌The‌ ‌mechas‌ ‌they‌ ‌created‌ ‌

basically‌ ‌all‌ ‌had‌ ‌A+‌ ‌stats.‌ ‌

 ‌

But‌ ‌no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌how‌ ‌they‌ ‌tried‌ ‌to‌ ‌suppress‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌level,‌ ‌it‌ ‌

would‌ ‌always‌ ‌hang‌ ‌around‌ ‌10-20%.‌ ‌

 ‌

Today,‌ ‌beside‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun,‌ ‌the‌ ‌lowest‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌level‌ ‌was‌ ‌still‌ ‌

11%.‌ ‌

 ‌

With‌ ‌merely‌ ‌a‌ ‌‘radiation‌ ‌level‌ ‌0,’‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌had‌ ‌enough‌ ‌to‌ ‌

suppress‌ ‌everyone’s‌ ‌scores!‌ ‌

 ‌

As‌ ‌expected,‌ ‌completely‌ ‌lacking‌ ‌any‌ ‌surprise,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌won‌ ‌

the‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌under‌ ‌the‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd!‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌various‌ ‌big‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌scrambled‌ ‌over‌ ‌

each‌ ‌other‌ ‌to‌ ‌give‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌their‌ ‌business‌ ‌cards,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌

discuss‌ ‌a‌ ‌collaboration‌ ‌with‌ ‌him.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌accepted‌ ‌each‌ ‌card‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌smile‌ ‌and‌ ‌expressed:‌ ‌

“We’ll‌ ‌talk‌ ‌about‌ ‌collaboration‌ ‌later.‌ ‌I‌ ‌still‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌go‌ ‌accept‌ ‌my‌ ‌

prize.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hugging‌ ‌the‌ ‌trophy‌ ‌cup‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌#1‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designer‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌

tournament‌ ‌in‌ ‌his‌ ‌arms,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌stood‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌high‌ ‌pedestal,‌ ‌

looking‌ ‌out‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌hundred‌ ‌of‌ ‌thousands‌ ‌of‌ ‌speculators,‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌

all‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌people‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌universe‌ ‌watching‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌live‌ ‌broadcast,‌ ‌a‌ ‌

sense‌ ‌of‌ ‌haughtiness‌ ‌and‌ ‌arrogance‌ ‌rising‌ ‌inside‌ ‌his‌ ‌heart.‌ ‌

 ‌

This‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌glory‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌wanted.‌ ‌He‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌everyone’s‌ ‌gazes‌ ‌

to‌ ‌be‌ ‌looking‌ ‌him.‌ ‌Wanted‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌to‌ ‌respect‌ ‌him,‌ ‌to‌ ‌kneel‌ ‌

down‌ ‌and‌ ‌lick‌ ‌his‌ ‌feet!‌ ‌

 ‌

“Next‌ ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌most‌ ‌exciting‌ ‌moment!‌ ‌Everyone,‌ ‌do‌ ‌you‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌

the‌ ‌strength‌ ‌of‌ ‌Mr.Hong’s‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌‘Cold‌ ‌Frost?’‌ ‌in‌ ‌action?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Yes!!”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌host‌ ‌said‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌smile:‌ ‌“Then‌ ‌is‌ ‌there‌ ‌anyone‌ ‌who‌ ‌wants‌ ‌to‌ ‌

come‌ ‌up‌ ‌and‌ ‌challenge‌ ‌‘Cold‌ ‌Frost’?”‌ ‌

 ‌

As‌ ‌soon‌ ‌as‌ ‌he‌ ‌said‌ ‌this,‌ ‌plenty‌ ‌of‌ ‌people‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌yelled‌ ‌

frantically‌ ‌and‌ ‌loudly‌ ‌that‌ ‌they‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌head‌ ‌up.‌ ‌

 ‌

At‌ ‌this‌ ‌time,‌ ‌a‌ ‌person‌ ‌used‌ ‌their‌ ‌special‌ ‌privilege‌ ‌to‌ ‌step‌ ‌directly‌ ‌

onto‌ ‌stage:‌ ‌“Allow‌ ‌me.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Seeing‌ ‌this‌ ‌person,‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd’s‌ ‌sharp‌ ‌screams‌ ‌pierced‌ ‌through‌ ‌

the‌ ‌heavens‌ ‌even‌ ‌more.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Ahhhhhhh‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“It’s‌ ‌Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue!!!”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌host‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌expect‌ ‌that‌ ‌this‌ ‌very‌ ‌well-known‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌

JinXue‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌military‌ ‌would‌ ‌come‌ ‌on‌ ‌stage.‌ ‌After‌ ‌freezing‌ ‌for‌ ‌

quite‌ ‌a‌ ‌while,‌ ‌he‌ ‌finally‌ ‌said‌ ‌excitedly:‌ ‌“Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng!‌ ‌I‌ ‌

didn’t‌ ‌expect‌ ‌it‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌you!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌smiled‌ ‌faintly:‌ ‌“A‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌without‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌big‌ ‌

concern‌ ‌for‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire.‌ ‌Naturally,‌ ‌the‌ ‌military‌ ‌is‌ ‌

also‌ ‌very‌ ‌interested.‌ ‌If‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌created‌ ‌by‌ ‌this‌ ‌Mr.Hong‌ ‌is‌ ‌also‌ ‌

very‌ ‌outstanding‌ ‌in‌ ‌other‌ ‌aspects,‌ ‌the‌ ‌military‌ ‌would‌ ‌gladly‌ ‌

collaborate‌ ‌together‌ ‌with‌ ‌Mr.Hong.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hearing‌ ‌these‌ ‌words,‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌audience‌ ‌went‌ ‌through‌ ‌another‌ ‌

uproar.‌ ‌The‌ ‌gazes‌ ‌they‌ ‌used‌ ‌to‌ ‌look‌ ‌at‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌became‌ ‌even‌ ‌

more‌ ‌reverent‌ ‌and‌ ‌envious!‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌expect‌ ‌this‌ ‌to‌ ‌happen‌ ‌either.‌ ‌Internally,‌ ‌he‌ ‌felt‌ ‌

somewhat‌ ‌excited‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

If‌ ‌Duke‌ ‌Bo‌ ‌Dun‌ ‌knew‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌was‌ ‌very‌ ‌close‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌military,‌ ‌it‌ ‌

would‌ ‌make‌ ‌doing‌ ‌whatever‌ ‌he‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌future‌ ‌even‌ ‌easier!‌ ‌

 ‌

His‌ ‌father‌ ‌would‌ ‌also‌ ‌never‌ ‌belittle‌ ‌him‌ ‌ever‌ ‌again!‌ ‌

 ‌

Thinking‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌did‌ ‌his‌ ‌best‌ ‌to‌ ‌remain‌ ‌calm.‌ ‌With‌ ‌a‌ ‌

faint‌ ‌smile,‌ ‌he‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Many‌ ‌thanks‌ ‌for‌ ‌Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng’s‌ ‌

appreciation.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌waved‌ ‌his‌ ‌hand:‌ ‌“Let’s‌ ‌not‌ ‌waste‌ ‌any‌ ‌time.‌ ‌Come,‌ ‌

let’s‌ ‌test‌ ‌the‌ ‌strength‌ ‌of‌ ‌your‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌‘Cold‌ ‌Frost’.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌called‌ ‌over‌ ‌a‌ ‌fighter‌ ‌that‌ ‌specializes‌ ‌in‌ ‌

operating‌ ‌mechas‌ ‌and‌ ‌gave‌ ‌them‌ ‌the‌ ‌authorization‌ ‌to‌ ‌enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌

mecha.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌match‌ ‌started.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌actually‌ ‌take‌ ‌

out‌ ‌his‌ ‌mecha.‌ ‌The‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌couldn’t‌ ‌help‌ ‌but‌ ‌feel‌ ‌somewhat‌ ‌

skeptical.‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue’s‌ ‌face‌ ‌split‌ ‌into‌ ‌a‌ ‌smile‌ ‌and‌ ‌summoned‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌

PoLan#4,‌ ‌who‌ ‌had‌ ‌already‌ ‌received‌ ‌a‌ ‌drop‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌blood‌ ‌and‌ ‌

recognized‌ ‌him‌ ‌as‌ ‌master.‌ ‌He‌ ‌said‌ ‌slowly:‌ ‌“Come.”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌entire‌ ‌audience‌ ‌was‌ ‌stunned.‌ ‌

 ‌

What‌ ‌did‌ ‌Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌mean‌ ‌by‌ ‌this?‌ ‌Did‌ ‌he‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌use‌ ‌

this‌ ‌seemingly‌ ‌tattered‌ ‌and‌ ‌broken‌ ‌down‌ ‌little‌ ‌robot‌ ‌to‌ ‌face‌ ‌off‌ ‌

against‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌that‌ ‌was‌ ‌practically‌ ‌colossal‌ ‌in‌ ‌comparison?!‌ ‌

 ‌

Was‌ ‌he‌ ‌playing‌ ‌a‌ ‌joke‌ ‌here!‌ ‌

 ‌

Only‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun.‌ ‌

 ‌

When‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4,‌ ‌his‌ ‌heart‌ ‌skipped‌ ‌a‌ ‌beat.‌ ‌His‌ ‌

expression‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌changed.‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌smiled‌ ‌faintly:‌ ‌“Looking‌ ‌familiar,‌ ‌my‌ ‌friend?‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌

the‌ ‌4.0‌ ‌version~”‌

Chapter‌ ‌32‌ ‌

 ‌

Ever‌ ‌since‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌could‌ ‌remember,‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌always‌ ‌been‌ ‌a‌ ‌

back-up‌ ‌God.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌only‌ ‌thing‌ ‌he‌ ‌needed‌ ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌was‌ ‌learn‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌become‌ ‌a‌ ‌God.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌was‌ ‌a‌ ‌very‌ ‌quick‌ ‌learner‌ ‌and‌ ‌stood‌ ‌out‌ ‌amongst‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌of‌ ‌

back-up‌ ‌Gods.‌ ‌Thus,‌ ‌he‌ ‌obtained‌ ‌the‌ ‌opportunity‌ ‌to‌ ‌intern‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌

God‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wealth.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌only‌ ‌thing‌ ‌that‌ ‌occupied‌ ‌his‌ ‌heart‌ ‌has‌ ‌always‌ ‌been‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌

become‌ ‌a‌ ‌real,‌ ‌official‌ ‌God‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wealth.‌ ‌He's‌ ‌never‌ ‌thought‌ ‌about‌ ‌

romance‌ ‌before‌ ‌and‌ ‌never‌ ‌even‌ ‌considered‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌thing‌ ‌

within‌ ‌his‌ ‌plans.‌ ‌

 ‌

When‌ ‌he‌ ‌thought‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌married,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌

Zhou‌ ‌did‌ ‌his‌ ‌best‌ ‌to‌ ‌fulfill‌ ‌his‌ ‌follower's‌ ‌wish‌ ‌and‌ ‌bless‌ ‌him‌ ‌with‌ ‌

good‌ ‌fortune‌ ‌so‌ ‌he‌ ‌could‌ ‌get‌ ‌married‌ ‌soon.‌ ‌There‌ ‌was‌ ‌no‌ ‌

Matchmaker‌ ‌here‌ ‌after‌ ‌all.‌ ‌

 ‌

If‌ ‌this‌ ‌were‌ ‌on‌ ‌Earth,‌ ‌he‌ ‌would‌ ‌have‌ ‌already‌ ‌asked‌ ‌about‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌

JinXue’s‌ ‌fated‌ ‌person‌ ‌so‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌could‌ ‌shorten‌ ‌the‌ ‌red‌ ‌string‌ ‌that‌ ‌

tied‌ ‌these‌ ‌two‌ ‌together.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌really‌ ‌has‌ ‌never‌ ‌imagined‌ ‌that‌ ‌he’d‌ ‌face‌ ‌this‌ ‌thing‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌has‌ ‌always‌ ‌treated‌ ‌him‌ ‌very‌ ‌well.‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌

clearly‌ ‌knew‌ ‌he‌ ‌held‌ ‌many‌ ‌abnormal‌ ‌aspects,‌ ‌but‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌never‌ ‌

mentioned‌ ‌anything‌ ‌and‌ ‌would‌ ‌even‌ ‌help‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌cover‌ ‌up.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌other‌ ‌words...…‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌likes‌ ‌him?‌ ‌

 ‌

Is‌ ‌it‌ ‌the‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌like,‌ ‌where‌ ‌you‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌married?‌ ‌

 ‌

Or,‌ ‌was‌ ‌it‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌like,‌ ‌similar‌ ‌to‌ ‌how‌ ‌he‌ ‌liked‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌

JinXue?‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌buried‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌further‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌blankets.‌ ‌Very‌ ‌

quickly,‌ ‌he‌ ‌popped‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌out‌ ‌again,‌ ‌feeling‌ ‌very‌ ‌conflicted‌ ‌

inside.‌ ‌

 ‌

"The‌ ‌High‌ ‌God‌ ‌also‌ ‌never‌ ‌told‌ ‌me...…‌ ‌if‌ ‌Gods‌ ‌could‌ ‌marry...…."‌ ‌

 ‌

Forget‌ ‌it,‌ ‌forget‌ ‌it.‌ ‌Just‌ ‌stop‌ ‌thinking.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌pulled‌ ‌out‌ ‌videos‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌and‌ ‌started‌ ‌

watching.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Grand‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designing‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌were‌ ‌in‌ ‌two‌ ‌

days.‌ ‌There’s‌ ‌a‌ ‌dark‌ ‌horse‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌contest‌ ‌this‌ ‌time--‌ ‌the‌ ‌person‌ ‌

called‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun,‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌oldest‌ ‌son‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family.‌ ‌Duchess‌ ‌

BoDun‌ ‌was‌ ‌born‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌Family.‌ ‌Thus,‌ ‌as‌ ‌the‌ ‌birth‌ ‌family‌ ‌of‌ ‌

the‌ ‌Duchess‌ ‌BoDun,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌was‌ ‌naturally‌ ‌also‌ ‌a‌ ‌family‌ ‌

of‌ ‌powerful‌ ‌and‌ ‌influential‌ ‌aristocrats.‌ ‌

 ‌

Everyone‌ ‌says‌ ‌that‌ ‌children‌ ‌of‌ ‌aristocrats‌ ‌loved‌ ‌to‌ ‌idle‌ ‌about‌ ‌and‌ ‌

indulge‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌life‌ ‌of‌ ‌pleasure.‌ ‌As‌ ‌the‌ ‌oldest‌ ‌son‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family,‌ ‌

this‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌really‌ ‌displayed‌ ‌this‌ ‌indulgence‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌pinnacle.‌ ‌

 ‌

But‌ ‌who‌ ‌would‌ ‌have‌ ‌imagined,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌playboy,‌ ‌who‌ ‌

indulged‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌life‌ ‌of‌ ‌debauchery,‌ ‌that‌ ‌would‌ ‌shine‌ ‌extraordinarily‌ ‌

in‌ ‌this‌ ‌year’s‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designing‌ ‌Tournament,‌ ‌and‌ ‌become‌ ‌the‌ ‌dark‌ ‌

horse‌ ‌that‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌focused‌ ‌their‌ ‌attentions‌ ‌upon!‌ ‌

 ‌

“You‌ ‌really‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌tell‌ ‌that‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌has‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌talent!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Don’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌talk‌ ‌about‌ ‌us.‌ ‌Can’t‌ ‌you‌ ‌see,‌ ‌even‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌

themselves‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌expect‌ ‌this!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Hahaha‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌father‌ ‌had‌ ‌mouthed‌ ‌off‌ ‌in‌ ‌all‌ ‌sorts‌ ‌of‌ ‌

manners‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌past,‌ ‌declaring‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌have‌ ‌this‌ ‌son.‌ ‌Now‌ ‌

look‌ ‌at‌ ‌him.‌ ‌He‌ ‌practically‌ ‌wants‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌world‌ ‌to‌ ‌know‌ ‌that‌ ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌was‌ ‌his‌ ‌son.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Speaking‌ ‌honestly,‌ ‌if‌ ‌my‌ ‌son‌ ‌could‌ ‌create‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌that‌ ‌is‌ ‌100%‌ ‌

shielded‌ ‌from‌ ‌energy‌ ‌radiation,‌ ‌I‌ ‌would‌ ‌brag‌ ‌about‌ ‌him‌ ‌everyday‌ ‌

as‌ ‌well!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“100%‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌is‌ ‌real?‌ ‌Did‌ ‌the‌ ‌officials‌ ‌assess‌ ‌it?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“It’s‌ ‌already‌ ‌assessed!‌ ‌A‌ ‌few‌ ‌master‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designers‌ ‌tested‌ ‌it‌ ‌on‌ ‌

the‌ ‌spot.‌ ‌The‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌was‌ ‌100%‌ ‌shielded.‌ ‌Several‌ ‌large‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌

manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌have‌ ‌offered‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌collaboration‌ ‌

contracts‌ ‌already!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“It’s‌ ‌only‌ ‌an‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system!‌ ‌What‌ ‌if‌ ‌once‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌

placed‌ ‌into‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌it‌ ‌is‌ ‌unable‌ ‌to‌ ‌reach‌ ‌100%‌ ‌shielding?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Oh‌ ‌fck,‌ ‌how‌ ‌much‌ ‌money‌ ‌would‌ ‌this‌ ‌cost?‌ ‌You‌ ‌really‌ ‌couldn’t‌ ‌tell‌ ‌

at‌ ‌all‌ ‌that‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌was‌ ‌this‌ ‌impressive!”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌net‌ ‌users‌ ‌discussed‌ ‌heatedly.‌ ‌The‌ ‌truth‌ ‌was‌ ‌also‌ ‌as‌ ‌they‌ ‌said.‌ ‌

Several‌ ‌big‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌all‌ ‌visited‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌

family‌ ‌one‌ ‌after‌ ‌another,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun,‌ ‌and‌ ‌

wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌obtain‌ ‌the‌ ‌design‌ ‌for‌ ‌creating‌ ‌this‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌

installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌that‌ ‌was‌ ‌capable‌ ‌of‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌by‌ ‌

100%.‌ ‌

 ‌

Even‌ ‌other‌ ‌nations‌ ‌learned‌ ‌of‌ ‌this‌ ‌news‌ ‌and‌ ‌were‌ ‌all‌ ‌concocting‌ ‌

plans‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌contact‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family.‌ ‌

 ‌

Because‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌knew,‌ ‌energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌biggest‌ ‌

headache‌ ‌and‌ ‌nightmare‌ ‌for‌ ‌people‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌universe.‌ ‌How‌ ‌

many‌ ‌talented‌ ‌individuals‌ ‌have‌ ‌been‌ ‌ruined‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌

previously.‌ ‌

 ‌

For‌ ‌example,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire’s‌ ‌youngest‌ ‌battle‌ ‌god,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun.‌ ‌

Wasn’t‌ ‌he‌ ‌also‌ ‌a‌ ‌severe‌ ‌victim?‌ ‌Hasn’t‌ ‌his‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level‌ ‌already‌ ‌

started‌ ‌to‌ ‌decline?‌ ‌

 ‌

At‌ ‌this‌ ‌moment,‌ ‌the‌ ‌gates‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌were‌ ‌practically‌ ‌

opened‌ ‌continuously‌ ‌all‌ ‌day‌ ‌as‌ ‌people‌ ‌streamed‌ ‌in‌ ‌and‌ ‌out‌ ‌

endlessly.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌beamed‌ ‌with‌ ‌delight‌ ‌on‌ ‌his‌ ‌face.‌ ‌

Previously,‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌disliked‌ ‌his‌ ‌eldest‌ ‌son‌ ‌for‌ ‌all‌ ‌sorts‌ ‌of‌ ‌reasons.‌ ‌

Now,‌ ‌the‌ ‌more‌ ‌he‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌his‌ ‌eldest,‌ ‌the‌ ‌more‌ ‌pleasing‌ ‌the‌ ‌

other‌ ‌looked‌ ‌in‌ ‌his‌ ‌eyes.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Master,‌ ‌another‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌company‌ ‌came‌ ‌to‌ ‌talk‌ ‌

with‌ ‌da-shaoye,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌collaborate‌ ‌with‌ ‌him.‌ ‌They‌ ‌mentioned‌ ‌

submitting‌ ‌a‌ ‌patent‌ ‌to‌ ‌obtain‌ ‌usage‌ ‌rights,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌gain‌ ‌the‌ ‌

authority‌ ‌to‌ ‌manufacture‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌

that‌ ‌da-shaoye‌ ‌created.‌ ‌They‌ ‌said‌ ‌that‌ ‌they’re‌ ‌willing‌ ‌to‌ ‌discuss‌ ‌

the‌ ‌price‌ ‌freely.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Willing‌ ‌to‌ ‌discuss‌ ‌the‌ ‌price‌ ‌freely,‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌this‌ ‌equivalent‌ ‌to‌ ‌letting‌ ‌

you‌ ‌set‌ ‌the‌ ‌price‌ ‌to‌ ‌whatever‌ ‌you‌ ‌wanted?‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌had‌ ‌a‌ ‌rosy‌ ‌complexion:‌ ‌“ShiJun‌ ‌has‌ ‌

really‌ ‌become‌ ‌more‌ ‌and‌ ‌more‌ ‌grown‌ ‌up.‌ ‌What‌ ‌did‌ ‌I‌ ‌say,‌ ‌how‌ ‌can‌ ‌

my‌ ‌son‌ ‌be‌ ‌talentless?”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌manager‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌praised:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌know‌ ‌right?‌ ‌2-shaoye‌ ‌is‌ ‌still‌ ‌

young,‌ ‌but‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌already‌ ‌been‌ ‌tested‌ ‌to‌ ‌have‌ ‌S‌ ‌level‌ ‌physical‌ ‌

strength‌ ‌and‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌powers.‌ ‌His‌ ‌future‌ ‌prospects‌ ‌are‌ ‌limitless.‌ ‌

At‌ ‌first,‌ ‌you‌ ‌were‌ ‌still‌ ‌worried‌ ‌about‌ ‌Da-shaoye,‌ ‌but‌ ‌now‌ ‌look,‌ ‌

Da-shaoye‌ ‌also‌ ‌has‌ ‌his‌ ‌own‌ ‌gift‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Exactly‌ ‌as‌ ‌you‌ ‌say‌ ‌haha.‌ ‌Before,‌ ‌I‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌treat‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌very‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌future,‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌definitely‌ ‌make‌ ‌it‌ ‌up‌ ‌to‌ ‌him!”‌ ‌In‌ ‌a‌ ‌pretty‌ ‌good‌ ‌

mood,‌ ‌the‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌indeed‌ ‌felt‌ ‌a‌ ‌bit‌ ‌of‌ ‌regret.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌past,‌ ‌he‌ ‌really‌ ‌did‌ ‌favor‌ ‌his‌ ‌younger‌ ‌son‌ ‌more.‌ ‌But‌ ‌who‌ ‌let‌ ‌

his‌ ‌younger‌ ‌son‌ ‌be‌ ‌more‌ ‌outstanding?‌ ‌Testing‌ ‌for‌ ‌such‌ ‌high‌ ‌

abilities‌ ‌at‌ ‌only‌ ‌10‌ ‌years‌ ‌old.‌ ‌He‌ ‌definitely‌ ‌needed‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌groomed‌ ‌

well.‌ ‌Unlike‌ ‌his‌ ‌eldest‌ ‌son‌ ‌who‌ ‌spent‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌day‌ ‌drinking‌ ‌and‌ ‌

playing.‌ ‌

 ‌

Good‌ ‌thing,‌ ‌this‌ ‌brat‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌still‌ ‌had‌ ‌a‌ ‌bit‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌own‌ ‌talent.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Oh‌ ‌right,‌ ‌where’s‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌right‌ ‌now?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Master,‌ ‌Da-shaoye‌ ‌went‌ ‌out.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“This‌ ‌child.”‌ ‌The‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family‌ ‌furrowed‌ ‌his‌ ‌brows‌ ‌

again:‌ ‌“The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌are‌ ‌in‌ ‌two‌ ‌days.‌ ‌Why’s‌ ‌he‌ ‌still‌ ‌running‌ ‌amok?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Despite‌ ‌saying‌ ‌this,‌ ‌the‌ ‌head‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌Family‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌

make‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌unhappy,‌ ‌because‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌already‌ ‌become‌ ‌the‌ ‌

face‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family’s‌ ‌reputation‌ ‌right‌ ‌now.‌ ‌After‌ ‌complaining‌ ‌

slightly,‌ ‌the‌ ‌head‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌say‌ ‌anymore.‌ ‌

 ‌

Meanwhile,‌ ‌at‌ ‌this‌ ‌time.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌a‌ ‌research‌ ‌facility‌ ‌far‌ ‌away‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌family,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌

was‌ ‌currently‌ ‌throwing‌ ‌a‌ ‌temper.‌ ‌

 ‌

“How‌ ‌can‌ ‌it‌ ‌not‌ ‌work?‌ ‌I‌ ‌followed‌ ‌this‌ ‌design‌ ‌completely!‌ ‌It’s‌ ‌

exactly‌ ‌the‌ ‌same!”‌ ‌

 ‌

A‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designer‌ ‌said‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌small‌ ‌tiny‌ ‌voice:‌ ‌“Hong-shaoye,‌ ‌I‌ ‌told‌ ‌

you‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌start.‌ ‌This‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌

have‌ ‌anything‌ ‌special‌ ‌to‌ ‌it.‌ ‌On‌ ‌the‌ ‌contrary,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌very‌ ‌simple‌ ‌and‌ ‌

crude.‌ ‌Anyone‌ ‌can‌ ‌create‌ ‌it.‌ ‌In‌ ‌my‌ ‌opinion,‌ ‌from‌ ‌what‌ ‌I‌ ‌can‌ ‌see‌ ‌

of‌ ‌its‌ ‌structure,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌created‌ ‌completely‌ ‌using‌ ‌useless,‌ ‌tossed‌ ‌

away‌ ‌garbage‌ ‌components.‌ ‌Nothing‌ ‌here‌ ‌is‌ ‌capable‌ ‌of‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌radiation.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌grabbed‌ ‌him‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌shirt‌ ‌collar‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌furiously:‌ ‌

“Then‌ ‌how‌ ‌can‌ ‌that‌ ‌decrepit‌ ‌robot‌ ‌do‌ ‌it?!‌ ‌The‌ ‌same‌ ‌assembly‌ ‌

method,‌ ‌why‌ ‌can‌ ‌he‌ ‌create‌ ‌a‌ ‌robot‌ ‌that‌ ‌can‌ ‌shield‌ ‌energy‌ ‌

radiation‌ ‌by‌ ‌100%?!‌ ‌

 ‌

Afraid‌ ‌that‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌would‌ ‌really‌ ‌hurt‌ ‌him‌ ‌or‌ ‌something,‌ ‌the‌ ‌

mecha‌ ‌designer‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌explained:‌ ‌“According‌ ‌to‌ ‌my‌ ‌hypothesis,‌ ‌

perhaps‌ ‌the‌ ‌step‌ ‌involving‌ ‌connecting‌ ‌the‌ ‌wires‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌

source‌ ‌differs.‌ ‌The‌ ‌person‌ ‌who‌ ‌created‌ ‌this‌ ‌robot……‌ ‌may‌ ‌have‌ ‌

a……‌ ‌very‌ ‌high‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level……”‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌process‌ ‌of‌ ‌building‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌connecting‌ ‌the‌ ‌wires‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌was‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌most‌ ‌important‌ ‌steps.‌ ‌The‌ ‌theory‌ ‌

here‌ ‌was‌ ‌guiding‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌stone‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌

connecting‌ ‌wires.‌ ‌If‌ ‌this‌ ‌step‌ ‌was‌ ‌done‌ ‌well,‌ ‌it‌ ‌can‌ ‌reduce‌ ‌the‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌by‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌reason‌ ‌why‌ ‌people‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌universe‌ ‌placed‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌of‌ ‌value‌ ‌in‌ ‌

psychic‌ ‌level‌ ‌was‌ ‌mostly‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌this.‌ ‌With‌ ‌a‌ ‌high‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌

level,‌ ‌no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what‌ ‌profession,‌ ‌the‌ ‌individual‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌the‌ ‌

cream‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌crop.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌profession‌ ‌of‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌same.‌ ‌With‌ ‌

a‌ ‌higher‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level,‌ ‌the‌ ‌largest‌ ‌possible‌ ‌amount‌ ‌of‌ ‌energy‌ ‌can‌ ‌

be‌ ‌guided‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌wires,‌ ‌which‌ ‌results‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌decreased‌ ‌level‌ ‌of‌ ‌

radiation.‌ ‌

 ‌

Yet‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level‌ ‌was‌ ‌only‌ ‌B+,‌ ‌not‌ ‌even‌ ‌reaching‌ ‌A.‌ ‌

His‌ ‌physical‌ ‌strength‌ ‌just‌ ‌barely‌ ‌reached‌ ‌A.‌ ‌

 ‌

However,‌ ‌after‌ ‌so‌ ‌many‌ ‌years‌ ‌of‌ ‌debauchery‌ ‌and‌ ‌drinking,‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌

long‌ ‌since‌ ‌destroyed‌ ‌his‌ ‌body.‌ ‌Right‌ ‌now,‌ ‌his‌ ‌physical‌ ‌strength‌ ‌

probably‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌reach‌ ‌A.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hearing‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌complexion‌ ‌became‌ ‌even‌ ‌more‌ ‌

unsightly.‌ ‌In‌ ‌anger,‌ ‌he‌ ‌smashed‌ ‌everything‌ ‌in‌ ‌front‌ ‌of‌ ‌him‌ ‌onto‌ ‌

the‌ ‌floor!‌ ‌

 ‌

“Useless‌ ‌trash!”‌ ‌He‌ ‌cursed‌ ‌quietly.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌opened‌ ‌his‌ ‌personal‌ ‌comm‌ ‌and‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌

information‌ ‌sent‌ ‌by‌ ‌Manager‌ ‌Huan‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌online‌ ‌market‌ ‌

company.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌identification‌ ‌card‌ ‌that‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌

submitted.‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌were‌ ‌filled‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌dark‌ ‌haze.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌was‌ ‌indeed‌ ‌the‌ ‌person‌ ‌who‌ ‌had‌ ‌bought‌ ‌the‌ ‌robot.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌

almost‌ ‌his‌ ‌little‌ ‌brother’s‌ ‌birthday.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌he‌ ‌detested‌ ‌his‌ ‌step‌ ‌

mother‌ ‌and‌ ‌his‌ ‌little‌ ‌brother.‌ ‌Even‌ ‌more‌ ‌so,‌ ‌he‌ ‌detested‌ ‌his‌ ‌

father’s‌ ‌fickleness‌ ‌and‌ ‌favoritism.‌ ‌Naturally,‌ ‌he‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌planning‌ ‌to‌ ‌

prepare‌ ‌a‌ ‌thoughtful‌ ‌birthday‌ ‌present.‌ ‌

 ‌

Not‌ ‌only‌ ‌this,‌ ‌he‌ ‌even‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌disgust‌ ‌his‌ ‌step‌ ‌mother‌ ‌and‌ ‌little‌ ‌

brother‌ ‌just‌ ‌a‌ ‌bit.‌ ‌Thus,‌ ‌he‌ ‌started‌ ‌randomly‌ ‌searching‌ ‌around‌ ‌

online‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌if‌ ‌there‌ ‌was‌ ‌anything‌ ‌shoddy‌ ‌that‌ ‌was‌ ‌most‌ ‌suited‌ ‌

for‌ ‌nauseating‌ ‌an‌ ‌aristocrat.‌ ‌

 ‌

Then‌ ‌he‌ ‌ended‌ ‌up‌ ‌finding‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#1.‌ ‌PoLan#1‌ ‌really‌ ‌looked‌ ‌

very‌ ‌decrepit.‌ ‌ ‌

 ‌

However,‌ ‌after‌ ‌he‌ ‌bought‌ ‌it,‌ ‌he‌ ‌discovered‌ ‌that‌ ‌there‌ ‌was‌ ‌

something‌ ‌strange‌ ‌about‌ ‌this‌ ‌robot.‌ ‌Its‌ ‌energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌was‌ ‌0.‌ ‌

In‌ ‌other‌ ‌words,‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌in‌ ‌this‌ ‌

robot‌ ‌was‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌completely.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌dumb.‌ ‌Naturally‌ ‌he‌ ‌knew‌ ‌what‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌

treasure‌ ‌this‌ ‌was.‌ ‌Immediately,‌ ‌he‌ ‌contacted‌ ‌the‌ ‌shop‌ ‌owner,‌ ‌

wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌buy‌ ‌more.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌he‌ ‌never‌ ‌received‌ ‌any‌ ‌replies‌ ‌

from‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌side.‌ ‌Even‌ ‌the‌ ‌location‌ ‌where‌ ‌the‌ ‌delivery‌ ‌came‌ ‌

from‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌name‌ ‌of‌ ‌a‌ ‌random‌ ‌remote‌ ‌planet.‌ ‌

 ‌

If‌ ‌someone‌ ‌had‌ ‌power‌ ‌and‌ ‌prestige,‌ ‌and‌ ‌were‌ ‌capable‌ ‌of‌ ‌creating‌ ‌

a‌ ‌robot‌ ‌like‌ ‌this,‌ ‌no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌unlikely‌ ‌for‌ ‌them‌ ‌to‌ ‌open‌ ‌

a‌ ‌shop‌ ‌online‌ ‌like‌ ‌this.‌ ‌And‌ ‌to‌ ‌even‌ ‌sell‌ ‌it‌ ‌for‌ ‌only‌ ‌a‌ ‌few‌ ‌thousand‌ ‌

coins.‌ ‌

 ‌

This‌ ‌must‌ ‌have‌ ‌been‌ ‌a‌ ‌commoner.‌ ‌

 ‌

Since‌ ‌the‌ ‌shop‌ ‌owner‌ ‌had‌ ‌refused‌ ‌to‌ ‌collaborate,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌

had‌ ‌another‌ ‌plan.‌ ‌He‌ ‌can‌ ‌use‌ ‌this‌ ‌energy‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌to‌ ‌

enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌Grand‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designing‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌and‌ ‌ride‌ ‌to‌ ‌victory.‌ ‌

Then‌ ‌he‌ ‌could‌ ‌enjoy‌ ‌glory‌ ‌and‌ ‌adulation‌ ‌like‌ ‌he‌ ‌has‌ ‌never‌ ‌

experienced‌ ‌before.‌ ‌ ‌

 ‌

But‌ ‌he‌ ‌would‌ ‌have‌ ‌never‌ ‌imagined,‌ ‌this‌ ‌seemingly‌ ‌easy‌ ‌to‌ ‌

replicate‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌as‌ ‌simple‌ ‌as‌ ‌he‌ ‌

had‌ ‌thought.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designer‌ ‌quietly‌ ‌asked:‌ ‌“Young‌ ‌master,‌ ‌what‌ ‌do‌ ‌we‌ ‌do‌ ‌

now?‌ ‌The‌ ‌big‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌are‌ ‌all‌ ‌waiting‌ ‌to‌ ‌

sign‌ ‌contracts‌ ‌with‌ ‌us.‌ ‌The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌are‌ ‌in‌ ‌two‌ ‌days‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌We……”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌sent‌ ‌him‌ ‌the‌ ‌info‌ ‌that‌ ‌Manager‌ ‌Huang‌ ‌provided‌ ‌

coldly‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌heavy‌ ‌voice:‌ ‌“You‌ ‌can‌ ‌sign‌ ‌the‌ ‌contracts.‌ ‌Let‌ ‌

them‌ ‌pay‌ ‌for‌ ‌2/3‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌expense‌ ‌first.‌ ‌I‌ ‌will‌ ‌continue‌ ‌to‌ ‌

participate‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌and‌ ‌send‌ ‌people‌ ‌to‌ ‌kidnap‌ ‌

this‌ ‌person‌ ‌back.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hearing‌ ‌this,‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designer‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌dare‌ ‌to‌ ‌respond.‌ ‌He‌ ‌

understood‌ ‌what‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌meant‌ ‌very‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌kidnapping‌ ‌this‌ ‌person‌ ‌back,‌ ‌they‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌locked‌ ‌up‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌

closed‌ ‌off‌ ‌research‌ ‌facility,‌ ‌only‌ ‌permitted‌ ‌to‌ ‌connect‌ ‌these‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌wires,‌ ‌day‌ ‌in‌ ‌and‌ ‌out.‌ ‌And‌ ‌those‌ ‌things‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌sold‌ ‌out‌ ‌

under‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌name.‌ ‌

 ‌

-‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌know‌ ‌he‌ ‌was‌ ‌being‌ ‌hunted.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌was‌ ‌busy‌ ‌studying‌ ‌the‌ ‌schedule‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament.‌ ‌

The‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌was‌ ‌separated‌ ‌into‌ ‌three‌ ‌phases.‌ ‌The‌ ‌first‌ ‌

phase‌ ‌involves‌ ‌the‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌installation‌ ‌system.‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌

core‌ ‌of‌ ‌every‌ ‌mecha.‌ ‌Without‌ ‌an‌ ‌energy‌ ‌source‌ ‌system,‌ ‌nothing‌ ‌

else‌ ‌works.‌ ‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌second‌ ‌phase‌ ‌involves‌ ‌the‌ ‌polish‌ ‌and‌ ‌design‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha’s‌ ‌

individual‌ ‌components.‌ ‌The‌ ‌third‌ ‌phase‌ ‌involves‌ ‌assembling‌ ‌the‌ ‌

mecha‌ ‌together.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌consisted‌ ‌of‌ ‌these‌ ‌three‌ ‌phases.‌ ‌After‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌is‌ ‌

assembled,‌ ‌the‌ ‌stats‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌are‌ ‌judged‌ ‌to‌ ‌determine‌ ‌the‌ ‌

winner.‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌the‌ ‌winning‌ ‌creator‌ ‌is‌ ‌selected,‌ ‌there‌ ‌will‌ ‌also‌ ‌be‌ ‌an‌ ‌

entertainment‌ ‌segment--‌ ‌a‌ ‌casual,‌ ‌fun‌ ‌match.‌ ‌

 ‌

Anyone‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌will‌ ‌be‌ ‌able‌ ‌to‌ ‌issue‌ ‌a‌ ‌duel‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌winning‌ ‌

mecha‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌fun‌ ‌match.‌ ‌This‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌duel‌ ‌ends‌ ‌upon‌ ‌touch,‌ ‌but‌ ‌it‌ ‌

allows‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌the‌ ‌specific‌ ‌capabilities‌ ‌and‌ ‌strengths‌ ‌of‌ ‌

the‌ ‌winning‌ ‌mecha.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌carefully‌ ‌examined‌ ‌this‌ ‌segment,‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌bright.‌ ‌

 ‌

Then,‌ ‌he‌ ‌called‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌military.‌ ‌

 ‌

Recently,‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌Legion‌ ‌was‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌pretty‌ ‌bad‌ ‌

mood.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌reason‌ ‌was‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌level.‌ ‌

 ‌

Although‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌Legions‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌say‌ ‌it‌ ‌outright,‌ ‌secretly‌ ‌they‌ ‌

had‌ ‌been‌ ‌ridiculing‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌Legion,‌ ‌saying‌ ‌that‌ ‌their‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌legion’s‌ ‌

commander‌ ‌was‌ ‌about‌ ‌to‌ ‌switch‌ ‌to‌ ‌another‌ ‌person;‌ ‌that‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun‌ ‌can‌ ‌no‌ ‌longer‌ ‌be‌ ‌the‌ ‌commander.‌ ‌

 ‌

This‌ ‌impacted‌ ‌the‌ ‌mood‌ ‌of‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌3rd‌ ‌legion.‌ ‌They‌ ‌

didn’t‌ ‌actually‌ ‌want‌ ‌someone‌ ‌else‌ ‌to‌ ‌come‌ ‌and‌ ‌replace‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun,‌ ‌because‌ ‌almost‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌here‌ ‌were‌ ‌soldiers‌ ‌trained‌ ‌by‌ ‌

the‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌family.‌ ‌

 ‌

If‌ ‌not‌ ‌the‌ ‌previous‌ ‌battle‌ ‌god,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌Tian;‌ ‌then‌ ‌the‌ ‌current‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun.‌ ‌

 ‌

Because‌ ‌of‌ ‌this‌ ‌impact,‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌last‌ ‌few‌ ‌days,‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌has‌ ‌been‌ ‌

listless.‌ ‌During‌ ‌training,‌ ‌their‌ ‌scores‌ ‌were‌ ‌so‌ ‌bad,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌an‌ ‌utter‌ ‌

disaster.‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌these‌ ‌scores,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌held‌ ‌a‌ ‌meeting.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌meeting,‌ ‌he‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌actually‌ ‌scold‌ ‌people‌ ‌directly.‌ ‌He‌ ‌only‌ ‌

projected‌ ‌the‌ ‌videos‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌training‌ ‌onto‌ ‌the‌ ‌screen.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Lieutenant‌ ‌Su.‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌your‌ ‌summary‌ ‌score‌ ‌from‌ ‌today’s‌ ‌

training.”‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌voice‌ ‌was‌ ‌as‌ ‌tranquil‌ ‌as‌ ‌before.‌ ‌His‌ ‌

handsome,‌ ‌ironclad‌ ‌face‌ ‌was‌ ‌in‌ ‌its‌ ‌usual‌ ‌calm.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌this‌ ‌

intangible‌ ‌sense‌ ‌of‌ ‌pressure‌ ‌made‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌inside‌ ‌the‌ ‌conference‌ ‌

room‌ ‌feel‌ ‌like‌ ‌a‌ ‌mountain‌ ‌was‌ ‌pressing‌ ‌down‌ ‌on‌ ‌their‌ ‌chest.‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌said‌ ‌coolly:‌ ‌“It’s‌ ‌4‌ ‌points‌ ‌lower‌ ‌than‌ ‌your‌ ‌usual‌ ‌

score.‌ ‌It’s‌ ‌1‌ ‌point‌ ‌lower‌ ‌than‌ ‌your‌ ‌own‌ ‌subordinate.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Wang‌ ‌Cheng,‌ ‌your‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌operation‌ ‌score‌ ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌lowest‌ ‌since‌ ‌you‌ ‌

joined.‌ ‌You’re‌ ‌making‌ ‌me‌ ‌doubt‌ ‌my‌ ‌original‌ ‌decision‌ ‌of‌ ‌

transferring‌ ‌you‌ ‌over‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌academy.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Zhang‌ ‌KaiWen,‌ ‌is‌ ‌there‌ ‌something‌ ‌wrong‌ ‌with‌ ‌your‌ ‌eyes?‌ ‌

Shooting‌ ‌10‌ ‌targets,‌ ‌missing‌ ‌3.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌spoke‌ ‌calmly,‌ ‌but‌ ‌every‌ ‌person‌ ‌who‌ ‌got‌ ‌called‌ ‌out‌ ‌

all‌ ‌lowered‌ ‌their‌ ‌heads‌ ‌in‌ ‌shame,‌ ‌face‌ ‌color‌ ‌turning‌ ‌red‌ ‌and‌ ‌then‌ ‌

white.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Admiral,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌because‌ ‌we……”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌nodded‌ ‌his‌ ‌head‌ ‌faintly,‌ ‌interrupting‌ ‌them:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌

want‌ ‌to‌ ‌hear‌ ‌any‌ ‌excuses.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“You‌ ‌guys‌ ‌enlisted‌ ‌not‌ ‌for‌ ‌me.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌for‌ ‌yourself.‌ ‌For‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire.‌ ‌

No‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what‌ ‌your‌ ‌reason‌ ‌is,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌not‌ ‌an‌ ‌excuse‌ ‌for‌ ‌your‌ ‌

setbacks.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Those‌ ‌people‌ ‌who‌ ‌got‌ ‌called‌ ‌out‌ ‌all‌ ‌panicked.‌ ‌They‌ ‌knew‌ ‌very‌ ‌

well‌ ‌that‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌definitely‌ ‌wouldn’t‌ ‌tolerate‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌

situation.‌ ‌Deeply‌ ‌afraid‌ ‌that‌ ‌they‌ ‌might‌ ‌be‌ ‌dismissed‌ ‌before‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun‌ ‌even‌ ‌left‌ ‌himself,‌ ‌they‌ ‌hastily‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Admiral,‌ ‌give‌ ‌us‌ ‌

another‌ ‌chance!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌say‌ ‌anything.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌intangible‌ ‌sense‌ ‌of‌ ‌pressure‌ ‌slowly‌ ‌enveloped‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌

meeting.‌ ‌The‌ ‌heaviness‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌air‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌made‌ ‌people‌ ‌feel‌ ‌

breathless.‌ ‌

 ‌

Under‌ ‌this‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌intolerable‌ ‌atmosphere,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌comm‌ ‌

suddenly‌ ‌started‌ ‌ringing.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌felt‌ ‌even‌ ‌more‌ ‌panicked‌ ‌inside.‌ ‌They‌ ‌can‌ ‌all‌ ‌tell‌ ‌that‌ ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌was‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌terrible‌ ‌mood.‌ ‌Jumping‌ ‌in‌ ‌at‌ ‌a‌ ‌time‌ ‌like‌ ‌

this,‌ ‌was‌ ‌this‌ ‌person‌ ‌rushing‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌yelled‌ ‌at?‌ ‌What‌ ‌if‌ ‌they‌ ‌made‌ ‌

the‌ ‌admiral’s‌ ‌mood‌ ‌worse,‌ ‌then‌ ‌what!‌ ‌

 ‌

Unexpectedly,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌ironclad‌ ‌face‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌softened‌ ‌with‌ ‌

only‌ ‌a‌ ‌glance‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌comm‌ ‌number.‌ ‌The‌ ‌depths‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌gained‌ ‌

some‌ ‌warmth‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

Sweeping‌ ‌his‌ ‌gaze‌ ‌around‌ ‌the‌ ‌conference‌ ‌room,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌got‌ ‌

up‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌coolly:‌ ‌“Whatever‌ ‌your‌ ‌reason‌ ‌is,‌ ‌I‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌

it‌ ‌happening‌ ‌again.”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Yes,‌ ‌admiral!”‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌throwing‌ ‌down‌ ‌these‌ ‌words,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌started‌ ‌to‌ ‌walk‌ ‌

out‌ ‌in‌ ‌large‌ ‌strides.‌ ‌At‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌time,‌ ‌he‌ ‌answered‌ ‌the‌ ‌call.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌sharp-eared‌ ‌people‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌heard‌ ‌a‌ ‌happy,‌ ‌pleasant‌ ‌

sounding‌ ‌voice‌ ‌travel‌ ‌into‌ ‌the‌ ‌conference‌ ‌room.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun!‌ ‌Are‌ ‌you‌ ‌busy?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌quietly‌ ‌replied:‌ ‌“Not‌ ‌busy,‌ ‌what’s‌ ‌the‌ ‌matter?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“You‌ ‌seem‌ ‌to‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌of‌ ‌people‌ ‌next‌ ‌to‌ ‌you.‌ ‌Do‌ ‌they‌ ‌need‌ ‌you‌ ‌

for‌ ‌something?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“No,‌ ‌they’re‌ ‌all‌ ‌fake‌ ‌people.‌ ‌Statues.”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌stopped,‌ ‌completely‌ ‌motionless,‌ ‌all‌ ‌

pretending‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌fake‌ ‌people:‌ ‌“......”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌walked‌ ‌out‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌big‌ ‌doors‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌conference‌ ‌room.‌ ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌could‌ ‌no‌ ‌longer‌ ‌see‌ ‌the‌ ‌people‌ ‌behind‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌

XiaoYun.‌ ‌Therefore,‌ ‌he‌ ‌no‌ ‌longer‌ ‌questioned‌ ‌if‌ ‌those‌ ‌were‌ ‌fake‌ ‌

people‌ ‌or‌ ‌not.‌ ‌Instead,‌ ‌he‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Do‌ ‌you‌ ‌have‌ ‌time‌ ‌in‌ ‌two‌ ‌days?‌ ‌

Let’s‌ ‌go‌ ‌see‌ ‌the‌ ‌finals‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌in‌ ‌person?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌acknowledged‌ ‌with‌ ‌an‌ ‌‘en’:‌ ‌“What‌ ‌do‌ ‌you‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌

do?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌hummed‌ ‌twice.‌ ‌He‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌explain,‌ ‌but‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“You’ll‌ ‌

know‌ ‌when‌ ‌the‌ ‌time‌ ‌comes!”‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌two‌ ‌days.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌finals‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌officially‌ ‌began.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designing‌ ‌Tournament‌ ‌can‌ ‌be‌ ‌counted‌ ‌as‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌those‌ ‌

events‌ ‌that‌ ‌all‌ ‌citizens‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire‌ ‌paid‌ ‌close‌ ‌attention‌ ‌to.‌ ‌On‌ ‌

the‌ ‌day‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌finals,‌ ‌the‌ ‌site‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌was‌ ‌packed‌ ‌with‌ ‌

an‌ ‌ocean‌ ‌of‌ ‌people.‌ ‌Those‌ ‌unable‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌it‌ ‌in‌ ‌person‌ ‌still‌ ‌waited‌ ‌

online‌ ‌in‌ ‌front‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌screen‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌live‌ ‌broadcast.‌ ‌

 ‌

Early‌ ‌morning‌ ‌on‌ ‌this‌ ‌day,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌and‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌left‌ ‌

together‌ ‌to‌ ‌pick‌ ‌up‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan,‌ ‌planning‌ ‌to‌ ‌take‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌to‌ ‌

see‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

After‌ ‌coming‌ ‌back‌ ‌these‌ ‌last‌ ‌few‌ ‌days,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌has‌ ‌been‌ ‌

supervised‌ ‌by‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌to‌ ‌participate‌ ‌in‌ ‌great‌ ‌master‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌

LuEn’s‌ ‌examinations‌ ‌and‌ ‌tests.‌ ‌It’s‌ ‌been‌ ‌two‌ ‌days‌ ‌since‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌

Zhou‌ ‌saw‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan.‌ ‌He‌ ‌rather‌ ‌missed‌ ‌it.‌ ‌

 ‌

Arriving‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌research‌ ‌facility,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌saw‌ ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌waiting‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌entrance.‌ ‌

 ‌

Seeing‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌also‌ ‌acted‌ ‌like‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌a‌ ‌lover‌ ‌

and‌ ‌affectionately‌ ‌hugged‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌thighs.‌ ‌Its‌ ‌mechanical‌ ‌

head‌ ‌rubbed‌ ‌back‌ ‌and‌ ‌forth‌ ‌on‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌legs‌ ‌as‌ ‌it‌ ‌let‌ ‌out‌ ‌

mechanical‌ ‌“sob‌ ‌sob‌ ‌sob”‌ ‌sounds.‌ ‌

 ‌

Looking‌ ‌like‌ ‌it‌ ‌really‌ ‌suffered‌ ‌quite‌ ‌the‌ ‌injustice.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌picked‌ ‌up‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌heartache:‌ ‌“Be‌ ‌good,‌ ‌

don’t‌ ‌cry.‌ ‌I’m‌ ‌picking‌ ‌you‌ ‌up‌ ‌right‌ ‌now.‌ ‌Sorry,‌ ‌you‌ ‌were‌ ‌forced‌ ‌to‌ ‌

work‌ ‌hard‌ ‌the‌ ‌last‌ ‌few‌ ‌days.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌and‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌LuEn:‌ ‌“......”‌ ‌

 ‌

No.‌ ‌It‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌work‌ ‌hard‌ ‌at‌ ‌all.‌ ‌Clearly,‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌us‌ ‌who‌ ‌worked‌ ‌hard!‌ ‌

 ‌

Only‌ ‌heaven‌ ‌knew‌ ‌how‌ ‌hard‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌to‌ ‌deal‌ ‌with‌ ‌this‌ ‌PoLan-daye!‌ ‌

 ‌

No‌ ‌matter‌ ‌what‌ ‌experiment‌ ‌they‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌do,‌ ‌without‌ ‌10‌ ‌

sentences‌ ‌of‌ ‌praise,‌ ‌it‌ ‌would‌ ‌refuse‌ ‌to‌ ‌cooperate!‌ ‌

 ‌

Good‌ ‌thing‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌had‌ ‌a‌ ‌sweet‌ ‌mouth‌ ‌and‌ ‌knew‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌

give‌ ‌all‌ ‌sorts‌ ‌of‌ ‌flattery.‌ ‌He‌ ‌managed‌ ‌to‌ ‌coax‌ ‌PoLan-daye‌ ‌into‌ ‌a‌ ‌

pretty‌ ‌good‌ ‌mood‌ ‌to‌ ‌cooperate‌ ‌with‌ ‌their‌ ‌examinations.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌was‌ ‌unaware‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌twists‌ ‌and‌ ‌turns‌ ‌in‌ ‌here.‌ ‌He‌ ‌

only‌ ‌saw‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌sulking‌ ‌and‌ ‌felt‌ ‌his‌ ‌heart‌ ‌about‌ ‌to‌ ‌melt:‌ ‌“Ok‌ ‌

ok‌ ‌ok.‌ ‌In‌ ‌the‌ ‌future,‌ ‌I’ll‌ ‌keep‌ ‌you‌ ‌by‌ ‌myself‌ ‌always……‌ ‌En‌ ‌En?‌ ‌

Was‌ ‌it‌ ‌very‌ ‌tiring?‌ ‌Doing‌ ‌so‌ ‌many‌ ‌inspections‌ ‌everyday?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌gave‌ ‌the‌ ‌great‌ ‌master‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌LuEn‌ ‌a‌ ‌disapproving‌ ‌look.‌ ‌

 ‌

Ge‌ ‌LuEn:‌ ‌“.......”‌ ‌

 ‌

Three!‌ ‌They‌ ‌only‌ ‌did‌ ‌three‌ ‌inspections‌ ‌per‌ ‌day!‌ ‌

 ‌

Everytime‌ ‌they‌ ‌finished‌ ‌an‌ ‌inspection,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌needed‌ ‌to‌ ‌

watch‌ ‌four‌ ‌hours‌ ‌of‌ ‌cartoons!‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌rubbed‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan’s‌ ‌head:‌ ‌“Oh‌ ‌right,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan.‌ ‌

Let‌ ‌me‌ ‌introduce‌ ‌to‌ ‌you‌ ‌briefly.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌pulled‌ ‌out‌ ‌another‌ ‌little‌ ‌robot‌ ‌from‌ ‌his‌ ‌GanKun‌ ‌

pouch‌ ‌and‌ ‌happily‌ ‌introduced‌ ‌it‌ ‌to‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan:‌ ‌“Xiao‌ ‌PoLan,‌ ‌look.‌ ‌

This‌ ‌is‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌became‌ ‌stunned.‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan:‌ ‌“????”‌ ‌

 ‌

This‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌reason‌ ‌why‌ ‌you‌ ‌threw‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌care‌ ‌of‌ ‌someone‌ ‌

else?‌ ‌

 ‌

I‌ ‌already‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌version‌ ‌#4???‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌dumbfounded‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌and‌ ‌

explained‌ ‌happily:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌just‌ ‌finished‌ ‌making‌ ‌it‌ ‌yesterday!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4‌ ‌was‌ ‌taller‌ ‌than‌ ‌it,‌ ‌newer‌ ‌than‌ ‌it,‌ ‌and‌ ‌also‌ ‌cooler‌ ‌

than‌ ‌it.‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan:‌ ‌“......”‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌stopped‌ ‌replying.‌ ‌

 ‌

It‌ ‌slowly‌ ‌rolled‌ ‌its‌ ‌wheels,‌ ‌and‌ ‌rolled‌ ‌back‌ ‌to‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue’s‌ ‌side.‌ ‌

 ‌

Sure‌ ‌enough.‌ ‌Affairs‌ ‌only‌ ‌occurred‌ ‌0‌ ‌times‌ ‌or‌ ‌countless‌ ‌times.‌ ‌

 ‌

Ever‌ ‌since‌ ‌Master‌ ‌made‌ ‌#1,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌been‌ ‌nonstop.‌ ‌Right‌ ‌now,‌ ‌there‌ ‌

was‌ ‌even‌ ‌a‌ ‌version‌ ‌#4.‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌raised‌ ‌its‌ ‌head‌ ‌and‌ ‌looked‌ ‌at‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌briefly.‌ ‌

Forget‌ ‌it,‌ ‌forget‌ ‌it.‌ ‌A‌ ‌demon‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌have‌ ‌such‌ ‌high‌ ‌demands.‌ ‌

Having‌ ‌a‌ ‌human‌ ‌slave‌ ‌was‌ ‌enough.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌next‌ ‌second,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌gave‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4‌ ‌to‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌

JinXue.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Cheng‌ ‌JinXue!‌ ‌I’m‌ ‌giving‌ ‌#4‌ ‌to‌ ‌you!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan:‌ ‌“???”‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌became‌ ‌delighted:‌ ‌“Zhou‌ ‌Zhou,‌ ‌is‌ ‌this‌ ‌

Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌as‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌HongYi‌ ‌and‌ ‌Zhang‌ ‌Feng’s……‌ ‌Can‌ ‌

it‌ ‌be‌ ‌linked‌ ‌through‌ ‌psychic‌ ‌powers?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“That’s‌ ‌right!”‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌proudly‌ ‌puffed‌ ‌up‌ ‌his‌ ‌chest:‌ ‌“I‌ ‌also‌ ‌

modified‌ ‌it.‌ ‌Once‌ ‌it‌ ‌recognizes‌ ‌you‌ ‌as‌ ‌its‌ ‌master,‌ ‌you’ll‌ ‌know‌ ‌what‌ ‌

#4‌ ‌can‌ ‌do.”‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌this‌ ‌robot,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌able‌ ‌to‌ ‌expand‌ ‌

his‌ ‌customers‌ ‌for‌ ‌two‌ ‌nights!‌ ‌

 ‌

Thus,‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌road‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌tournament,‌ ‌inside‌ ‌the‌ ‌hover‌ ‌car,‌ ‌

the‌ ‌stupidly‌ ‌happy‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌endlessly‌ ‌exclaimed‌ ‌how‌ ‌

awesome‌ ‌and‌ ‌amazing‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4‌ ‌was.‌ ‌

 ‌

In‌ ‌the‌ ‌corner,‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan‌ ‌watched‌ ‌their‌ ‌gaiety‌ ‌and‌ ‌scoffed‌ ‌coldly.‌ ‌

 ‌

Their‌ ‌gaiety‌ ‌has‌ ‌nothing‌ ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌with‌ ‌me.‌ ‌I‌ ‌only‌ ‌think‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌noisy.‌ ‌

 ‌

-‌ ‌

 ‌

Arriving‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌location‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Tournament,‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌

exclaimed‌ ‌once‌ ‌again,‌ ‌there‌ ‌were‌ ‌so‌ ‌many‌ ‌people!‌ ‌

 ‌

Then‌ ‌he‌ ‌became‌ ‌even‌ ‌happier.‌ ‌Tonight‌ ‌he‌ ‌was‌ ‌going‌ ‌to‌ ‌work‌ ‌

overtime‌ ‌again!‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌had‌ ‌special‌ ‌privileges.‌ ‌He‌ ‌also‌ ‌made‌ ‌early‌ ‌

arrangements‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌seating.‌ ‌He‌ ‌directly‌ ‌brought‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌

to‌ ‌a‌ ‌relatively‌ ‌quiet‌ ‌place.‌ ‌

 ‌

At‌ ‌this‌ ‌time,‌ ‌the‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌already‌ ‌proceeded‌ ‌halfway.‌ ‌Amongst‌ ‌

the‌ ‌10‌ ‌people‌ ‌participating,‌ ‌6‌ ‌people‌ ‌have‌ ‌already‌ ‌finished‌ ‌

assembling‌ ‌their‌ ‌mechas.‌ ‌

 ‌

However,‌ ‌most‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd’s‌ ‌attention‌ ‌was‌ ‌focused‌ ‌on‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌

ShiJun.‌ ‌

 ‌

Everyone‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌know‌ ‌just‌ ‌how‌ ‌powerful‌ ‌was‌ ‌this‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌

made‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌competition’s‌ ‌dark‌ ‌horse,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌various‌ ‌big‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌stared‌ ‌even‌ ‌

more‌ ‌closely,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌urgently‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌the‌ ‌birth‌ ‌of‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌

capable‌ ‌of‌ ‌shielding‌ ‌energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌100%!‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌was‌ ‌also‌ ‌watching‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun.‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌

looked‌ ‌pretty‌ ‌much‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌as‌ ‌what‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌zhou‌ ‌saw‌ ‌online.‌ ‌

He‌ ‌carried‌ ‌an‌ ‌unpleasant‌ ‌odor‌ ‌around‌ ‌him.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌furrowed‌ ‌his‌ ‌brows‌ ‌and‌ ‌said‌ ‌quietly:‌ ‌“The‌ ‌smell‌ ‌on‌ ‌

him‌ ‌is‌ ‌really‌ ‌unpleasant.‌ ‌He‌ ‌must‌ ‌have‌ ‌done‌ ‌plenty‌ ‌of‌ ‌bad‌ ‌

things.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hearing‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌get‌ ‌a‌ ‌chance‌ ‌to‌ ‌speak‌ ‌yet‌ ‌

when‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌LuEn‌ ‌said‌ ‌exasperatedly:‌ ‌“Little‌ ‌friend,‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌joke.‌ ‌We’re‌ ‌

in‌ ‌the‌ ‌observer’s‌ ‌booth.‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌is‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌competition‌ ‌field.‌ ‌

With‌ ‌such‌ ‌a‌ ‌distance,‌ ‌even‌ ‌just‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌him‌ ‌clearly‌ ‌requires‌ ‌

magnification‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌big‌ ‌screen.‌ ‌How‌ ‌can‌ ‌you‌ ‌smell‌ ‌his‌ ‌odor?”‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“You‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌understand.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Ge‌ ‌LuEn:‌ ‌“Okay‌ ‌okay‌ ‌okay.‌ ‌I‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌understand.‌ ‌Is‌ ‌it‌ ‌that‌ ‌God‌ ‌of‌ ‌

yours‌ ‌again‌ ‌who‌ ‌said‌ ‌this?‌ ‌Ai,‌ ‌you‌ ‌group‌ ‌of‌ ‌kids‌ ‌are‌ ‌really……‌ ‌so‌ ‌

superstitious‌ ‌every‌ ‌day.”‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌advise‌ ‌them‌ ‌anymore‌ ‌about‌ ‌how‌ ‌God‌ ‌

absolutely‌ ‌did‌ ‌not‌ ‌exist‌ ‌in‌ ‌this‌ ‌world.‌ ‌

 ‌

Last‌ ‌time,‌ ‌the‌ ‌little‌ ‌friend‌ ‌got‌ ‌angry‌ ‌at‌ ‌him‌ ‌because‌ ‌of‌ ‌this.‌ ‌It‌ ‌

wasn’t‌ ‌good‌ ‌to‌ ‌bring‌ ‌it‌ ‌up‌ ‌again.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌only‌ ‌thing‌ ‌that‌ ‌made‌ ‌Ge‌ ‌LuEn‌ ‌rejoice‌ ‌was‌ ‌that‌ ‌this‌ ‌so-called‌ ‌

‘God‌ ‌of‌ ‌Wealth’‌ ‌wasn’t‌ ‌like‌ ‌the‌ ‌pagan‌ ‌god‌ ‌of‌ ‌an‌ ‌evil‌ ‌cult;‌ ‌he‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌

brainwash‌ ‌people‌ ‌into‌ ‌insanity.‌ ‌

 ‌

Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌reached‌ ‌out‌ ‌a‌ ‌hand‌ ‌and‌ ‌covered‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌

nose,‌ ‌saying‌ ‌softly:‌ ‌“Then‌ ‌don’t‌ ‌smell‌ ‌it.”‌ ‌

 ‌

His‌ ‌hand‌ ‌was‌ ‌very‌ ‌big.‌ ‌Covering‌ ‌Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou’s‌ ‌face,‌ ‌it‌ ‌made‌ ‌the‌ ‌

youth’s‌ ‌face‌ ‌seem‌ ‌even‌ ‌smaller.‌ ‌

 ‌

Zhuang‌ ‌Zhou‌ ‌raised‌ ‌his‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌and‌ ‌met‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun’s‌ ‌eyes.‌ ‌Then‌ ‌

he‌ ‌swiftly‌ ‌looked‌ ‌away.‌ ‌Ears‌ ‌turning‌ ‌faintly‌ ‌red,‌ ‌he‌ ‌finally‌ ‌said‌ ‌‘en’‌ ‌

after‌ ‌a‌ ‌long‌ ‌while‌ ‌later.‌ ‌

 ‌

But‌ ‌he‌ ‌also‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌tell‌ ‌Wen‌ ‌XiaoYun‌ ‌to‌ ‌move‌ ‌his‌ ‌hand‌ ‌away.‌ ‌

Instead,‌ ‌he‌ ‌allowed‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌to‌ ‌cover‌ ‌his‌ ‌nose‌ ‌and‌ ‌face.‌ ‌

 ‌

Very‌ ‌quickly,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌also‌ ‌finished‌ ‌assembling‌ ‌his‌ ‌mecha.‌ ‌

 ‌

He‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌second‌ ‌to‌ ‌last‌ ‌to‌ ‌finish‌ ‌the‌ ‌assembly.‌ ‌Not‌ ‌long‌ ‌after‌ ‌

him,‌ ‌the‌ ‌last‌ ‌person‌ ‌also‌ ‌finished.‌ ‌

 ‌

Now‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌10‌ ‌contestants‌ ‌finished‌ ‌building‌ ‌their‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌

time‌ ‌to‌ ‌wait‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌judging.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌10‌ ‌people‌ ‌have‌ ‌already‌ ‌passed‌ ‌through‌ ‌several‌ ‌rounds‌ ‌of‌ ‌

eliminations‌ ‌to‌ ‌enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌finals.‌ ‌Naturally,‌ ‌each‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌

designs‌ ‌were‌ ‌strong.‌ ‌

 ‌

When‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun’s‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌was‌ ‌judged,‌ ‌the‌ ‌official‌ ‌host‌ ‌gave‌ ‌an‌ ‌

extremely‌ ‌high‌ ‌evaluation‌ ‌result--‌ ‌

 ‌

“Offensive‌ ‌stats‌ ‌AA,‌ ‌defensive‌ ‌stats‌ ‌A+,‌ ‌resistance‌ ‌stats‌ ‌A+,‌ ‌

energy‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌level‌ ‌0!”‌ ‌

 ‌

As‌ ‌soon‌ ‌as‌ ‌these‌ ‌words‌ ‌appeared,‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌threw‌ ‌an‌ ‌

uproar!‌ ‌

 ‌

Radiation‌ ‌level‌ ‌0!‌ ‌

 ‌

It‌ ‌really‌ ‌can‌ ‌shield‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌100%!‌ ‌

 ‌

To‌ ‌be‌ ‌able‌ ‌to‌ ‌enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌finals,‌ ‌the‌ ‌contestants‌ ‌were‌ ‌all‌ ‌basically‌ ‌

very‌ ‌outstanding‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌designers.‌ ‌The‌ ‌mechas‌ ‌they‌ ‌created‌ ‌

basically‌ ‌all‌ ‌had‌ ‌A+‌ ‌stats.‌ ‌

 ‌

But‌ ‌no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌how‌ ‌they‌ ‌tried‌ ‌to‌ ‌suppress‌ ‌the‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌level,‌ ‌it‌ ‌

would‌ ‌always‌ ‌hang‌ ‌around‌ ‌10-20%.‌ ‌

 ‌

Today,‌ ‌beside‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun,‌ ‌the‌ ‌lowest‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌level‌ ‌was‌ ‌still‌ ‌

11%.‌ ‌

 ‌

With‌ ‌merely‌ ‌a‌ ‌‘radiation‌ ‌level‌ ‌0,’‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌had‌ ‌enough‌ ‌to‌ ‌

suppress‌ ‌everyone’s‌ ‌scores!‌ ‌

 ‌

As‌ ‌expected,‌ ‌completely‌ ‌lacking‌ ‌any‌ ‌surprise,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌won‌ ‌

the‌ ‌tournament‌ ‌under‌ ‌the‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd!‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌various‌ ‌big‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌manufacturing‌ ‌companies‌ ‌scrambled‌ ‌over‌ ‌

each‌ ‌other‌ ‌to‌ ‌give‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌their‌ ‌business‌ ‌cards,‌ ‌wanting‌ ‌to‌ ‌

discuss‌ ‌a‌ ‌collaboration‌ ‌with‌ ‌him.‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌accepted‌ ‌each‌ ‌card‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌smile‌ ‌and‌ ‌expressed:‌ ‌

“We’ll‌ ‌talk‌ ‌about‌ ‌collaboration‌ ‌later.‌ ‌I‌ ‌still‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌go‌ ‌accept‌ ‌my‌ ‌

prize.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hugging‌ ‌the‌ ‌trophy‌ ‌cup‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌#1‌ ‌Mecha‌ ‌Designer‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌

tournament‌ ‌in‌ ‌his‌ ‌arms,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌stood‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌high‌ ‌pedestal,‌ ‌

looking‌ ‌out‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌hundred‌ ‌of‌ ‌thousands‌ ‌of‌ ‌speculators,‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌

all‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌people‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌universe‌ ‌watching‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌live‌ ‌broadcast,‌ ‌a‌ ‌

sense‌ ‌of‌ ‌haughtiness‌ ‌and‌ ‌arrogance‌ ‌rising‌ ‌inside‌ ‌his‌ ‌heart.‌ ‌

 ‌

This‌ ‌was‌ ‌the‌ ‌glory‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌wanted.‌ ‌He‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌everyone’s‌ ‌gazes‌ ‌

to‌ ‌be‌ ‌looking‌ ‌him.‌ ‌Wanted‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌to‌ ‌respect‌ ‌him,‌ ‌to‌ ‌kneel‌ ‌

down‌ ‌and‌ ‌lick‌ ‌his‌ ‌feet!‌ ‌

 ‌

“Next‌ ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌most‌ ‌exciting‌ ‌moment!‌ ‌Everyone,‌ ‌do‌ ‌you‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌see‌ ‌

the‌ ‌strength‌ ‌of‌ ‌Mr.Hong’s‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌‘Cold‌ ‌Frost?’‌ ‌in‌ ‌action?”‌ ‌

 ‌

“Yes!!”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌host‌ ‌said‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌smile:‌ ‌“Then‌ ‌is‌ ‌there‌ ‌anyone‌ ‌who‌ ‌wants‌ ‌to‌ ‌

come‌ ‌up‌ ‌and‌ ‌challenge‌ ‌‘Cold‌ ‌Frost’?”‌ ‌

 ‌

As‌ ‌soon‌ ‌as‌ ‌he‌ ‌said‌ ‌this,‌ ‌plenty‌ ‌of‌ ‌people‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌yelled‌ ‌

frantically‌ ‌and‌ ‌loudly‌ ‌that‌ ‌they‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌head‌ ‌up.‌ ‌

 ‌

At‌ ‌this‌ ‌time,‌ ‌a‌ ‌person‌ ‌used‌ ‌their‌ ‌special‌ ‌privilege‌ ‌to‌ ‌step‌ ‌directly‌ ‌

onto‌ ‌stage:‌ ‌“Allow‌ ‌me.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Seeing‌ ‌this‌ ‌person,‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd’s‌ ‌sharp‌ ‌screams‌ ‌pierced‌ ‌through‌ ‌

the‌ ‌heavens‌ ‌even‌ ‌more.‌ ‌

 ‌

“Ahhhhhhh‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng!”‌ ‌

 ‌

“It’s‌ ‌Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue!!!”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌host‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌even‌ ‌expect‌ ‌that‌ ‌this‌ ‌very‌ ‌well-known‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌

JinXue‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌military‌ ‌would‌ ‌come‌ ‌on‌ ‌stage.‌ ‌After‌ ‌freezing‌ ‌for‌ ‌

quite‌ ‌a‌ ‌while,‌ ‌he‌ ‌finally‌ ‌said‌ ‌excitedly:‌ ‌“Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng!‌ ‌I‌ ‌

didn’t‌ ‌expect‌ ‌it‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌you!”‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌smiled‌ ‌faintly:‌ ‌“A‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌without‌ ‌radiation‌ ‌is‌ ‌a‌ ‌big‌ ‌

concern‌ ‌for‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌within‌ ‌the‌ ‌Empire.‌ ‌Naturally,‌ ‌the‌ ‌military‌ ‌is‌ ‌

also‌ ‌very‌ ‌interested.‌ ‌If‌ ‌the‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌created‌ ‌by‌ ‌this‌ ‌Mr.Hong‌ ‌is‌ ‌also‌ ‌

very‌ ‌outstanding‌ ‌in‌ ‌other‌ ‌aspects,‌ ‌the‌ ‌military‌ ‌would‌ ‌gladly‌ ‌

collaborate‌ ‌together‌ ‌with‌ ‌Mr.Hong.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hearing‌ ‌these‌ ‌words,‌ ‌the‌ ‌entire‌ ‌audience‌ ‌went‌ ‌through‌ ‌another‌ ‌

uproar.‌ ‌The‌ ‌gazes‌ ‌they‌ ‌used‌ ‌to‌ ‌look‌ ‌at‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌became‌ ‌even‌ ‌

more‌ ‌reverent‌ ‌and‌ ‌envious!‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌expect‌ ‌this‌ ‌to‌ ‌happen‌ ‌either.‌ ‌Internally,‌ ‌he‌ ‌felt‌ ‌

somewhat‌ ‌excited‌ ‌as‌ ‌well.‌ ‌

 ‌

If‌ ‌Duke‌ ‌Bo‌ ‌Dun‌ ‌knew‌ ‌that‌ ‌he‌ ‌was‌ ‌very‌ ‌close‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌military,‌ ‌it‌ ‌

would‌ ‌make‌ ‌doing‌ ‌whatever‌ ‌he‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌future‌ ‌even‌ ‌easier!‌ ‌

 ‌

His‌ ‌father‌ ‌would‌ ‌also‌ ‌never‌ ‌belittle‌ ‌him‌ ‌ever‌ ‌again!‌ ‌

 ‌

Thinking‌ ‌this,‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌did‌ ‌his‌ ‌best‌ ‌to‌ ‌remain‌ ‌calm.‌ ‌With‌ ‌a‌ ‌

faint‌ ‌smile,‌ ‌he‌ ‌said:‌ ‌“Many‌ ‌thanks‌ ‌for‌ ‌Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng’s‌ ‌

appreciation.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌waved‌ ‌his‌ ‌hand:‌ ‌“Let’s‌ ‌not‌ ‌waste‌ ‌any‌ ‌time.‌ ‌Come,‌ ‌

let’s‌ ‌test‌ ‌the‌ ‌strength‌ ‌of‌ ‌your‌ ‌mecha,‌ ‌‘Cold‌ ‌Frost’.”‌ ‌

 ‌

Hong‌ ‌ShiJun‌ ‌immediately‌ ‌called‌ ‌over‌ ‌a‌ ‌fighter‌ ‌that‌ ‌specializes‌ ‌in‌ ‌

operating‌ ‌mechas‌ ‌and‌ ‌gave‌ ‌them‌ ‌the‌ ‌authorization‌ ‌to‌ ‌enter‌ ‌the‌ ‌

mecha.‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌match‌ ‌started.‌ ‌However,‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌didn’t‌ ‌actually‌ ‌take‌ ‌

out‌ ‌his‌ ‌mecha.‌ ‌The‌ ‌crowd‌ ‌couldn’t‌ ‌help‌ ‌but‌ ‌feel‌ ‌somewhat‌ ‌

skeptical.‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue’s‌ ‌face‌ ‌split‌ ‌into‌ ‌a‌ ‌smile‌ ‌and‌ ‌summoned‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌

PoLan#4,‌ ‌who‌ ‌had‌ ‌already‌ ‌received‌ ‌a‌ ‌drop‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌blood‌ ‌and‌ ‌

recognized‌ ‌him‌ ‌as‌ ‌master.‌ ‌He‌ ‌said‌ ‌slowly:‌ ‌“Come.”‌ ‌

 ‌

The‌ ‌entire‌ ‌audience‌ ‌was‌ ‌stunned.‌ ‌

 ‌

What‌ ‌did‌ ‌Vice-Admiral‌ ‌Cheng‌ ‌mean‌ ‌by‌ ‌this?‌ ‌Did‌ ‌he‌ ‌want‌ ‌to‌ ‌use‌ ‌

this‌ ‌seemingly‌ ‌tattered‌ ‌and‌ ‌broken‌ ‌down‌ ‌little‌ ‌robot‌ ‌to‌ ‌face‌ ‌off‌ ‌

against‌ ‌a‌ ‌mecha‌ ‌that‌ ‌was‌ ‌practically‌ ‌colossal‌ ‌in‌ ‌comparison?!‌ ‌

 ‌

Was‌ ‌he‌ ‌playing‌ ‌a‌ ‌joke‌ ‌here!‌ ‌

 ‌

Only‌ ‌Hong‌ ‌ShiJun.‌ ‌

 ‌

When‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌Xiao‌ ‌PoLan#4,‌ ‌his‌ ‌heart‌ ‌skipped‌ ‌a‌ ‌beat.‌ ‌His‌ ‌

expression‌ ‌instantly‌ ‌changed.‌ ‌

 ‌

Cheng‌ ‌JinXue‌ ‌smiled‌ ‌faintly:‌ ‌“Looking‌ ‌familiar,‌ ‌my‌ ‌friend?‌ ‌This‌ ‌is‌ ‌

the‌ ‌4.0‌ ‌version~”‌
