Chapter 76
Lu Bo Ting had no idea that he was on the watch list of his mother. After several days of work, he finally settled the Bai familyâs affairs.
Shi Nian was very happy to play games for a few days.
Perhaps it was because he declared himself a guide, or maybe he looked like he had already joined the Lu family, or maybe it was because the Bai familyâs recent affairs had caused a lot of stir. In short, no one came to bother him.
Instead, many unknown people had sent him game emails with the following content:
âYouâre still a fan of that thief Shi Nian? What are your three views?
âYouâre still a fan of that thief, whatâs your view of the world â¦..I used to like you.â
âYou should change your name. Donât pretend to be dead, you dare to be a fan to a thief⦠â¦â¦â
Shi Nian tutted twice, wondering why he hadnât played this game in those days.
Otherwise, he would have killed these people and dragged them to the Star blog for a few days.
After deleting these messages, he went to find Wang Haosheng and Lu Chengze. After all, they were the only friends he could find in this game.
But he didnât expect that as soon as he sent a note to Lu Chengze, the latter was so eager, âCome here, big brother. Hurry up, Iâll treat you to dinner later. â
Shi Nian thought, âWhatâs the point of having dinner?â You got scared to even ask me to go out with you. â
However, he rushed to the scene.
As soon as he arrived, he was almost hit by a beam of light, and there was a melee going on.
When he was about to ask what was going on, the person opposite had already seen him and said, âGood. So this fan of Shi Nian is from First School. Heâs been hiding deep! â
The students of First School were confused.
Isnât this a coincidence? Our school does not have such a powerful student.
However, no one cares about explanations during a fight. The Second school attacked even harder, and Shi Nian was not one to stand around and take a beating, so in just a moment, he had already stirred his wings, and another mech was beaten to the side.
Wang Haosheng seized the opportunity and commanded the two students from the combat department to quickly follow and clean up that mecha.
He was the first to come into contact with Shi Nian, and he also knew the other side best. He saw that although this was a misunderstanding, there was no way of stopping him by shouting âstopâ. So he admitted the mistake and continued to fight.
He commanded like this, and the other students did not say anything either.
They were not the ones who were getting beaten anyway, so they all followed fast!
The teacher of the First school couldnât help but yell, âWang Haosheng, you are still commanding quite vigorously. Havenât you noticed that person is not from our school? â
âYes, I did!â Wang Haosheng said, âBut the people he is beating are from the Second school. So why wonât we take advantage of this for nothing? â
Lu Chengze said directly: âAnd it was the second school who rushed up to do fight him, donât blame us.â
Shi Nian said, âArenât you the one who called me over.â
This kid is not honest, ah!
Looking at it again, he understood. The troops on the opposite side are far superior to them. If he didnât come, the man, Lu Chengze, would be abused.
But it is the holiday period. Why do they even have teachers over there? They have a school⦠wait. The First School seems to start a week earlier than the Sixth school every year. Does this mean that;
School has already started?
Shi Nian silently mentally turned over the calendar. Sure enough, itâs the start of school.
It was the first opening.
âYou always saying Iâm thick-skinned.â Shi Nian gave a breathless laugh and said, âI should show you guys the realm of this Lu Chengzeâs skin. The school organised a rivalry game, and you still dare to secretly invite outside help. â
At this moment, the man was even saying â¦â¦
Lu Chengze: âIâm not the teacher. Iâm not the one who didnât set a password. How can I be blamed for people who come in later? â
Whereâs your face? The walls are not as thick as your face, right?
However, when talking, he did not forget to set up the password. After all, Shi Nianâs fan was not a student of the First school. For someone who was able to fight back and forth with Lu Bo Ting for four hours, the situation would naturally turn out to be one-sided.
The Second school team was furious. Saying straight away that this person is their First school hidden ace. It took a while to explain that to that group of students before they believed that it was an accident.
Shi Nian slipped away quietly and despised Lu Chengze for pulling him in.
The latter dryly admitted his fault and asked if they could treat him to dinner and buy him a mecha skin.
Shi Nian was too lazy to care about him and went to play on his own.
After a few days of hype, the results of the Bai family over there had been decided, and their great momentum was gone. As soon as Senator Bai fell, the crimes committed by the people below were revealed one by one. Although some of them were saved by the Wu familyâs ideas.
As for Bai Bingyan, his brother, and the rest of the Bai family, naturally, they were all abandoned one by one, and two others even went straight to jail.
And at that moment, Old Man Zhou had also returned from the Edge Star, bringing with him his newly built mecha.
Shi Nian dropped the matter of the Bai family at once and headed straight for the villa without saying a word.
Right next door to where he used to live, the basement had been cleared out and filled with the materials needed to build the mechas.
Master Zhou had just taken out the fire phoenix mecha and placed it in the middle of the room. As soon as Shi Nian entered, he took a full look at it.
The large phoenix was already shaped like a real one, and the colour was worthy of a fire phoenix, giving the illusion that it could take off with fire at any time.
âItâs beautiful! Itâs so beautiful! â
Shi Nian couldnât help but say.
âIt is! â Old Mr Zhou said, âI spent nearly half of my life designing it, and now he should be welcoming you in.â
Shi Nian nodded, âLet me see, you tell me where I need to add the space element, Iâll try â¦â¦â
The two then began to study it carefully.
Shi Nian had recently read some books on mechas, but one thing was that many things could not be learned just by reading books, and another was that it would be difficult for him to finish all the books on mechas in a short time.
However, old man Zhou lost his spiritual power and focused more on knowledge and ideas, accumulated over the years. His understanding of this area was very deep, and he spoke in an in-depth and easy-to-understand manner.
In addition, although he was a rookie, he had at least done some homework, so he did not have any problems understanding.
After listening to Mr Zhouâs ideas, Shi Nian couldnât help but say, âGenius!
According to this design, this mech would be able to carry at least three times more weapons than a normal S-class mech.
This was only Mr Zhouâs initial idea, and now that he knew that the space technology had been developed, he was working on the second version of the final drawing, and by then, the weapons would have been doubled again.
On top of that, the Fire Phoenix was a heavy mech, but it will be as light as a light mech. One, because it is loaded with space equipment, and two, because its speed will be analogous to that of a light mech, simply taking the best of both and combining them into one.
When the time comesâ¦
Shi Nian thought, âHow awesome would it be to be piloting this mech.â
âOf course, the most important thing is his mental power connection point.â Old Mr Zhou said, âIt can be said that even if Marshal Lu, who has double S spiritual power, piloted this mech, he would not waste any bit of power in the slightest. It can fully unleash his power. â
Shi Nian was overwhelmed with joy as he listened. He spent the entire day in the basement and returned late. He even wanted to come back the next day.
He forgot that he was going to start school.
It wasnât until his classmates mentioned the news inside the group that he reacted.
Now that school is starting, he wonât have so much time!
So he thought of a trick and asked Lu Bo Ting to ask the principal for leave.
âWhat about the content of the class?â The principal yelled, â âHe thinks he is in the mecha department and can go to the army in his senior year? No, even the mecha department has to wait for the second half of the year. He is in the pharmacy department. What will he learn if the teacher doesnât teach him? â
Principal Wu had high regard for studentsâ studies, especially when it came to this student, Shi Nian.
He is the ace of the pharmacy department. He also planned to have the teacher give him a better start.
âIâm telling you, Marshal Lu, no! This wonât work at all. That previous month was just as well; it was just another addition by the school. But he canât miss official classes. â
âYou canât interrupt his studies with all your business. Heâs at a time when he needs to actively replenish his knowledge â¦â¦â
Lu Bo Ting looked at Shi Nian. The latter blinked. As if he did not hear the angry roar from the other side, he opened his light brain and studied plausibly.
Lu Bo Ting only had to take the blame and said: âHe can also study at home. I asked him. He studied all the following lessons by himself. If necessary, he will also let Yan Huaxin record what the teacher said, and slowly read it back. â
âWhatâs the use of that? What about the learning atmosphere? â Principal Wu was about to yell again when Lu Bo Ting had already said, âLook, heâs studying hard now.â
Over there, Shi Nian, to pretend he was reading a book, started reciting: âThe exterior shape of a mecha is very closely related to the interior. Looking at the appearance of mecha, you can learn about him⦠â
âLu Bo Ting!â Principal Wu was simply furious.
âWhat is he reading there? Do you think Iâm illiterate? Is that pharmacology? When did pharmacy include the relationship between the shape of the mech and the inside? â
Lu Bo Ting also glared at Shi Nian, who had just reactedâ¦
He didnât take it seriously at all and started reciting the book he had been reading recently. He had recently been working on a mech with Zhou Lao. Didnât he have to catch up on his mech knowledge?
Looking at his innocent face, Lu Bo Ting could only say, âHe has been reading about pharmacology for a long time. He uses this to relax his brain.â
Principal Wu was about to laugh, âDo I look like a fool to you?â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦.â
Lu Bo Ting had never suffered like this when he was in school, but now he felt the pressure of facing a principal because of Shi Nian.
âI wonât grant this leave.â Principal Wu said stiffly, âYou are a marshal, but you canât delay my studentsâ lessons. There is no such reason under the sky, and Shi Nianâs talent canât be ruined by you like this. â
Shi Nian was moved to tears with his sentiments.
However, could the principal please listen to me for my own good and grant me a leave of absence?
Lu Bo Ting rubbed his brow, âPrincipal Wu, you should trust me when I say I donât joke about his future. He studies everything of his own volition, and itâs only because something really came up during this timeâ¦.â
âWhatâs the matter again? Last time it was for the special grade soothing agent, âsaid Principal Wu. If this is a life-saving item, I wonât say anything. What is it this time? Is he going to build a mecha or make a space bag? Itâs not like he has any use for these things. â
âMarshal Lu, I had a lot of faith in your character, but what you did was reallyâ¦â
This fake was ultimately unsuccessful, and Lu Bo Ting was scolded for most of the day because of it.
Shi Nian couldnât hold it in next to him and kept giggling.
ââ¦â¦â
Lu Bo Ting said breathlessly, âAre you so happy that you didnât get the leave? I canât believe you like school so much. â
Shi Nian: ââ¦â¦â
That is not worth being happy about.
Lu Bo Ting said, âActually, Principal Wu has a point. And itâs not like thereâs a rush on the mecha side. â
âIâm in a hurry.â
Shi Nian wanted so badly to be able to fly the Fire Phoenix mech right away!
âAnd I really do want it. So help out with the leave, eh? â
Lu Bo Ting was helpless, and he had already admitted defeat. Of all the principals from School One to School Six, this one was the hardest to talk to, and calling again was probably useless.
So he thought of a way. He went to his father and asked Old Marshal Lu to take care of the matter.
Old Marshal Lu never thought that he would one day ask for leave for a student.
The last time he did something like this, he had gotten Lu Bo Ting, a leave of absence to go to the frontlines to fight in the war.
âI thought I didnât have to do this kind of thing again in recent years.â After Lu Bo Ting left, Old Marshal Lu couldnât help but say.
Mrs Lu smiled and said, âIt canât be helped. Your son is an old cow that wants to eat young grass. If he were to find a graduate, he wouldnât be having this trouble. â
âBut just yesterday, Shi Nian said that he wants to find someone who will solve these problems for him. Give your son some goodwill in front of his future wife. â
The old marshal went out and got a leave of absence for Shi Nian.
Lu Bo Ting even asked how he got the leave, and Old Marshal Lu acted like a big wolf, saying, âYou canât learn this cold face, itâs the wisdom given by time. When you reach my age, you will know how to deal with the principal. â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
Shi Nian thought to himself, âWhat does age have to do with it? Heâs been alive for so long, but he still doesnât have the experience to deal with the principal.
He blinked and fetched the freshly fried lard residue from the kitchen to eat.
It was super tasty, and he didnât know who invented it. In the past, it seemed to be only for refining slabs of oil or something, but nowadays people would use it to fry pork.
The taste in each bite was just perfect.
Knowing that he could eat it, Mrs Lu specially asked the robot to make a lot of it. She only took a small plate for herself because she didnât dare to eat too much oil. The rest was all for Shi Nian.
And this was just a quick bite before the meal, he would have dinner later.
After eating, Shi Nian was ready to go for a couple of laps at the back. Lu Bo Ting followed him, ready to talk to him about the Bai family.
As a result, just before he caught up with him, he saw Shi Nian raise his eyebrows at him and said, âBoss, you couldnât get the leave, and had to ask your father to go out. You couldnât do it! â
Lu Bo Ting gritted his teeth, âI couldnât?â
If Xue Chi saw this expression on his face, he would have run as far as he could, and if he couldnât, he would have stayed there and played dead.
But instead, Shi Nian laughed. His phoenix was on his shoulder, staring at him with small eyes, tilting its head to look at him.
âOtherwise, would you have been able to?â
Lu Bo Ting thought this image was so cute, but he was so angry at the words that his forehead was bouncing with veins. After a long while, he said;
âAt night, donât mess with me.â
Shi Nian turned around and continued to walk forward, âYou can still try to beat me⦠right, a fight! Ah, letâs go. In order to punish me for talking nonsense, you come and hit me. The game pods are on the first floor. Hurry, hurry. Iâm not going to run laps. Now letâs go to the mecha battle. â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
So, the two fought for another two hours that evening.
Unfortunately, both were celebrities, so naturally, they couldnât hide it.
Well, the headlines that set Starnet on fire were up.
âFACT: Marshal Lu once again opens a room and rubs elbows with that unknown Shi Nian fan. It is almost certain that this person is not a guide, and his previous statement was just to confuse people and save him trouble.â
âShocker: Marshal Lu is seen having battles with the unknown Shi Nian Fan again.â
âBig news: room number XXXXXX, Marshal Lu is fighting with that fan again.â
By the time they got off the game, it had already hit the top of the hotspots, and the following was a hot discussion.
Shi Nianâs focus was still on: âBoss, it means you couldnât do it. I won one more game than you today.â
Lu Bo Ting: ââ¦â¦â
Lu Bo Ting really wanted to let him know whether he could do it or not.
