Chapter 83 Departing Tomorrow
Wen Shumu finally understood; Master Adolphus had recommended a top-tier profession in the mecha world to him.
It's extremely difficult.
Manufacturers rely on experience and can hone their skills over decades to produce something, while architects who deal with a lot of virtual data cannot. It is common for them to work for many years but achieve nothing.
Wen Shumu lay on the bed for a while, then sat up and flipped through the book list Adolphus had given him. This time there were 20 books, and every one of them was full of formulas and numbers, as well as some obscure and difficult theoretical knowledge.
What's most baffling is that the book list is titled "20 Must-Read Books for Beginner Architects".
This is just the beginning!!!
Wen Shumu stared out the window for a while, lost in thought.
He suddenly remembered that when the tutor was teaching "The Virtues of Omega" at the Wen family, he said that Omegas are beings protected by society, and this is especially true for him, an Omega from a noble family. As long as he follows the family's arrangements, studies art, cultivates his character, and is matched with a high-quality Alpha of equal social standing when he comes of age, he will continue his privileged life while bringing benefits to the family.
The tutor spoke calmly, but a slight, disdainful smile played on his lips: "This is how you repay your family for raising you, and this is where your greatest value lies."
Looking back now, the tutor must have been instructed by Wen Bin to say those things to him.
If the Wen family knew he wanted to become an architect, they would probably laugh at him for overestimating his abilities.
Wen Shumu looked up at the sky outside the window. A flock of birds was flying by, maintaining the same speed and neat formation as they passed through the clouds, free yet restrained.
Suddenly, a bird changed speed and direction, flying higher and higher. The swirling clouds dispersed at that moment, clearing a path for it.
Wen Shumu thought he wanted to be that bird.

Even before night had fully fallen, the Palace of Helios was already ablaze with lights. As the sun of the empire, it must forever maintain its supreme brilliance.
"You should go too."
The emperor gazed at the Alpha before him, whose sharpness was like a sword: "The alien beasts on the border planet of Ninoto seem endless, wave after wave, and the underground shelters are almost overflowing."
Ling Suyu said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Yi Hao's dark eyes remained deep and expressionless: "Resolve this as soon as possible."
He suddenly laughed again: "It seems like 'Love's Star Journey' is about to continue filming. You don't want Shumu to film the show alone, do you?"
Ling Suyu frowned slightly: "We'll depart tomorrow afternoon."
The clock on the wall ticked away. Allison looked at Wen Shumu, who was standing guard in the hall, and said, "Madam, it's already ten o'clock. Why don't you go and rest? The Marshal should be back soon."
Wen Shumu stared at the book on the projector and shook his head slightly: "I'm not sleepy either, I'll just wait for him here."
For some reason, his heart was pounding.
This book was already difficult to understand, and now I can't even get through a single word.
Wen Shumu sighed, his gaze shifting to Allison, who was standing guard beside him. "I'd like to ask the Marshal for a protective amulet. Could you take me to the Ga'a Temple before I go to the hospital tomorrow?"
Allison's expression was gentle, and he bowed slightly: "Of course."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door. Wen Shumu immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the door.
The door to the hall was pushed open from the outside, and Wen Shumu had just walked to the door when he met a pair of cold blue eyes.
That coldness vanished abruptly when he saw the Omega.
Ling Suyu caught Wen Shumu who rushed towards him with both hands, and hugged him in his arms, shaking him affectionately a few times.
Wen Shumu's cheeks flushed a light pink, revealing a sweet, gentle smile, and her whole demeanor came alive.
Allison covered her mouth and laughed, then slowly stepped back, not wanting to disturb the couple's tender moment.
Just as they reached the corner, they heard the marshal say, "Xiao Mu, I'm leaving for the border planet tomorrow..."
Allison: ? ? ? !!!
His retreating steps immediately stopped.
Wen Shumu's expression also showed a hint of panic: "Why so suddenly? What time tomorrow?"
After he finished speaking, he felt that it wasn't so sudden. He had seen the news of the attack on the border planet on the StarNet, and Ling Suyu's recent early mornings and late nights explained everything.
He just thought it would be a little later.
"Let's leave this afternoon." Ling Suyu's gaze was calm as she lowered her head and gently kissed his cheek in a comforting manner. "The Ninoto beast tide is rampant, local supplies are running low, and the stationed legion is about to collapse. We can't delay any longer."
Wen Shumu's complex emotions wove into a tangled web.
He wanted to say that he really needed Ling Suyu, and asked if he could avoid going to such a dangerous place.
But the people of the border planet clearly need Marshal Ling more than he does.
He could only let go, watching his beloved head off to unknown battlefields time and time again.
Wen Shumu didn't want Ling Suyu to worry about him, so he put on a calm demeanor and said, "Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."
Ling Suyu stared intently at him, as if trying to confirm his true thoughts, until the terminal beeped before she left.
Watching the marshal stride up to the second floor, Allison moved closer to Wen Shumu, who was still there, and asked, "Madam, are you going again tomorrow?"
Wen Shumu's voice was slightly deep: "Go, let's set off as soon as possible."

Not long after he closed his eyes, just as Ling Suyu was about to fall asleep, a slight tremor of the blanket beside him woke him up completely.
He opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the Omega who had his back to him.
When I came in after finishing my work, Wen Shumu was sleeping in this position, motionless, with very calm breathing.
He thought Xiao Mu was already asleep.
Wen Shumu curled up, his back hunched, and his eyes quietly reddened.
He's annoyed.
I've been feeling down lately, as if I'm trying to release all the tears I've been holding back for years.
He didn't want this to happen, but the thought that Ling Suyu wouldn't be sleeping next to him tomorrow night made him lose control.
The mattress behind him dipped slightly, clearly indicating that Alpha had adjusted his position and moved behind him.
Wen Shumu's breath hitched, and then he was hugged from behind, soft, cool lips lightly touching his fair earlobe.
"Don't worry, honey, we should be able to go on our trip when I get back." Alpha's voice was full of tenderness.
Wen Shumu trembled slightly, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and suddenly rolled over and pressed down on Ling Suyu.
Ling Suyu opened his eyes slightly, seemingly startled by his actions.
With his brown eyes still moist, Wen Shumu didn't say a word, but instead lowered his head and kissed him fiercely.
Their lips met.
Ling Suyu quickly realized what was happening, slowly closed her eyes, offered no resistance, and let herself drown in this seemingly fierce but actually reluctant kiss.
Wen Shumu was initially quite conscious, but later became confused.
All he remembers is...
Even though he was exhausted, he still held Alpha tightly.
again and again.
I desperately tried to feel the scent of melting snow.
