Chapter 149 Yumu's Heart-to-Heart Fans
Banks invited Ling Suyu to the palace for a thorough examination, confirming that he was perfectly healthy and in perfect condition. The emperor then set the date for the investiture ceremony.
Although the previous birthday banquet claimed to be a celebration of victory, it was actually mainly to counter the great nobles. Only the legion commanders were invited, and the ceremony was far too hasty and casual.
Yi Hao issued an imperial decree that this award ceremony should be held in a grand manner to bestow upon the empire's brave soldiers the glory they deserve.
After learning the date of the ceremony, Wen Shumu told Ke Mo the news so that he could confirm the recording time for the final stop of "Love's Star Journey," which had been delayed for a long time.
Kemo replied with a "thank you" heart emoji.
Wen Shumu smiled. The science director looked serious, but he actually seemed quite cute.
He switched the projection interface and found the chat box with Adolphus.
After so many days, he finally finished reading those twenty books and could contact the master.
As always, the master doesn't like typing; after receiving his message, he immediately sent a video call.
"Long time no see." Adolphus greeted him energetically, his face covered in dust from somewhere, and judging from the background, he was probably in his office.
Wen Shumu asked, "Are you working? Am I disturbing you?"
Adolphus waved his hand: "No problem, no problem. In fact, your call came at just the right time."
A hint of doubt flickered in Wen Shumu's eyes, but he suppressed it, looking somewhat embarrassed: "I should have finished reading it a long time ago, but I just haven't been in the mood for it lately..."
"I know, it's hard to concentrate in that situation, and even if you force yourself to watch, it probably won't be very effective," Adolphus sighed softly. "Fortunately, the Marshal returned safely. How is he now?"
Wen Shumu smiled and said, "Very good, his injuries have all healed."
Adolphus nodded, his gaze drifting slightly elsewhere, before suddenly asking, "Um... how's Ice Crack?"
Fighting the Beast King is extremely dangerous. If the mech pilot is injured, the mech's damage will definitely be high.
Wen Shumu said, "It seems quite serious. The repairmen at Dixing can't fix it. We'll have to wait until Teacher Chu finishes the finals so he can take a look himself."
"What—the ice crack can't be fixed?!"
On the other side of the projection, a clear, gentle male voice, clearly not belonging to a master, exclaimed in surprise.
Adolphus glanced in that direction again, covered his ears, and said, "Keep your voice down, don't make a fuss. That's the Beast King. He should be grateful that Rift Ice isn't completely destroyed."
A part came flying at him, but luckily Adolphus was alert and ducked to avoid it.
"I won't allow you to talk about my precious baby like that!" The man's voice sounded very agitated.
Wen Shumu was slightly taken aback, and the book written by the top architect Yu Chonglan spontaneously came to mind.
In the book, he ranked all his beloved mechs, with Rift being his "treasure".
Adolphus glared and said, "The use of force is prohibited."
He shifted his gaze back to the projector and coughed lightly a few times: "The reason I said you called at the right time is because it has something to do with that 'Big Baby's Dad' over there."
"The original plan was to introduce you to each other after you finished your studies," Adolphus said, glancing in that direction every now and then, as if afraid of being attacked by the parts again. "He just happens to be in Narentis recently, and he's been causing trouble in my lab these past few days."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a part flew precisely onto his forehead.
"Hehe, causing trouble? If my Ah Zheng wasn't busy preparing for the competition, I would be too bored to come."
The male voice grew closer until a Beta wearing a white short-sleeved shirt appeared in the projection.
He had a neat head of short black hair, and although he was from the same generation as Adolphus, he looked more than ten years younger.
He was originally glaring at Adolphus, but when he caught sight of Wen Shumu in the projection, he immediately changed his expression, his smile reserved and polite: "Hello, I'm Yu Chonglan, your fan."
Wen Shumu was startled and quickly replied, "Hello, Teacher Yu!"
He guessed that the person was Yu Chonglan, but who knew that he would add "he's a fan" afterward!
Yu Chonglan lowered his voice and said, "I am a level 10 fan of Yumu Tongxin Xingbo Community."
Wen Shumu looked shocked; it turned out he was a fan of the pairing of him and his brother!
Adolphus chuckled and shook his head slightly, looking at Wen Shumu: "Now that you've read the whole book, you should know what Yu Chonglan does, right?"
Wen Shumu said, "Professor Yu is an extremely talented architect. His book, 'The Soul of the Architect: Data Bridges,' is really good and not boring at all."
Yu Chonglan then asked Wen Shumu a few questions with a smile. He appeared polite and gentle, but the questions he asked were quite tricky.
Fortunately, Wen Shumu reads diligently and has a good memory, so he answered most of the questions correctly. He also honestly answered the few he was unsure about.
After asking the question, Yu Chonglan looked at Wen Shumu calmly for a moment, then raised her hand and popped up her terminal: "What's your terminal number?"
Wen Shumu sent out a string of numbers and received a friend request within seconds.
He added the top architect as a friend as if in a dream.
After adding each other as friends, Yu Chonglan glanced at the time displayed on the terminal, and her expression suddenly changed: "A-Zheng's training is over, I have to go find him for dinner. Talk to you later!"
Like a gentle breeze, Yu Chonglan quickly disappeared from the projection.
Adolphus clicked his tongue and muttered, "He runs really fast. Yan Zezheng is already so big, he doesn't need his parents to accompany him to meals anymore."
He looked at Wen Shumu: "From now on, you should learn from Yu Chonglan. The fact that he added you as a friend means he approves of you."
Wen Shumu nodded gently, a sincere smile appearing on his lips.
No one would be unhappy to receive guidance from an industry leader.
Seeing that Adolphus's office had finally quieted down and there was no one else around, Wen Shumu spoke up: "Actually, there's one more thing. Black Firefly asked me to give you his regards."
Adolphus's pupils contracted slightly: "You saw Blackfire?"
He almost immediately guessed that Black Firefly had probably gone to the Imperial Star, and couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of him, still so arrogant."
Adolphus never shied away from admitting that he had worked with space pirates, and this experience was always on his resume; however, the outside world did not know which space pirate he had known.
Wen Shumu finally understood; it must be Black Firefly.
"I rode in Blackfire's mech, it felt amazing, it could stay invisible for so long."
A smug look appeared on Adolphus's face: "Of course, that was the first 3S-class mech I ever built."
"Now that you've met, you should know who he is, right?"
Wen Shumu hummed in agreement, inwardly marveling that the incredibly cool black mecha was actually designed by Adolphus.
"He was also my mentor. Back then, he was willing to provide me with all sorts of resources, just to get a top-of-the-line stealth mech." Adolphus lowered his eyes slightly, "so that he could seize the opportunity to assassinate the old emperor."
