Chapter 50 Cleaning Up the Ecological Park

Mingnuo and Sedwick's relationship has not been made public to their parents. They have to be secretive when holding hands and are very careful when saying even the slightest flirtatious words. Once Dillon detects it, Mingnuo will need to clear Dillon's memory.

After Field and Lin Yu knew about Dillon's hidden love-catching ability, they were always careful about what they said and carefully kept it a secret from those around them.

Ti Lung kept switching between confusion and amnesia. Ming Nuo was afraid he might damage Ti Lung. After deleting the data for the 21st time in a week, Ming Nuo tactfully suggested to Ti Lung, "Do you need to return it to the factory for repairs?"

Dillon flatly refused. "I'm an advanced AI. Going back to the factory for repairs? You're kidding."

But Dillon felt that his computer seemed to be running a little faster than before. Could someone have secretly deleted his memory? Could His Majesty have discovered his hidden collection of movies and novels?!

Dillon was so scared that he quickly checked his treasures, but fortunately they were all lying intact in his database.

Fortunately, the spiritual food is there.

Today, let’s take a look at the novel about robbery and dribbling that he hasn’t finished reading. Ti Lung read it happily, forgetting the inexplicable smoothness of the running speed.

In the blink of an eye, the joint confrontation exercise is just around the corner.

The day before the official competition, Mingnuo had a professional class in the morning and a public economics class in the afternoon.

The approaching competition made him uncontrollably nervous, and he was distracted many times during class. Wen Zhining reminded him several times to focus, and finally asked him to stay after class.

In the neat and bright office, Wen Zhining rested his chin on his hand, his brows slightly furrowed. His dark eyes scanned Ming Nuo, who was clearly not in his right state. "What's wrong with you today? Are you anxious about tomorrow's competition?"

Ming Nuo sat across from him, his soft hair draped over his forehead. He nodded gently, feeling so restless that he wanted to bite his fingernails. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I'll try my best to adjust."

But it is really difficult to control his emotions. Whenever Mingnuo thinks about falling behind in tomorrow's competition, his mind is completely filled with frustration and panic, and his chest feels suffocated.

Wen Zhining stood up and poured Mingnuo a glass of warm water. After all, before he started boxing, he had some experience as a psychology teacher, so he understood Mingnuo's current overly nervous state.

"Would you like a hug?" Wen Zhining squatted down in front of him, his expression not showing much fluctuation, but his voice was much softer.

Ming Nuo hummed in a muffled voice, threw himself into his arms, and buried his head in Wen Zhining's shoulder. The close and intimate hug soothed Ming Nuo's depressed mood.

"Teacher, tomorrow's competition will be broadcast live, right?" Ming Nuo hugged Wen Zhining's neck dejectedly, looking like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted.

He gently patted Mingnuo's head. "You don't like being stared at?"

"I just don't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone..." Ming Nuo said dejectedly, "Besides, my brother and the others will be here too. If I perform badly, my brother will be embarrassed because of me too."

After listening to Ming Nuo's story, Wen Zhining smiled and said, "The competition hasn't even started yet. How can you guarantee that you will lose?"

Ming Nuo: "Because my actual combat ability is really lame..."

"Maybe others are even worse than you." Wen Zhining told him firmly, "Don't overestimate others. You are the best."

Ming Nuo listened to his teacher's serious words of comfort. He had to admit that the dark clouds in his heart were indeed mostly dispelled. A smile appeared in his blue eyes. "Is this considered a moral victory?"

Wen Zhining: "This is the truth, you don't believe me?"

Ming Nuo couldn't help laughing, "I believe in the teacher."

At this moment, someone knocked on the office door. Wen Zhining turned his head and said casually, "Come in."

When Ming Nuo saw the newcomer, his eyes widened in surprise, "Senior Brother Mo Lin...you're out?"

Wen Zhining's face turned black on the spot, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

Mo Lin changed out of his blue and white striped prisoner outfit and put on light grey casual wear. He first greeted Ming Nuo with a smile, but when he turned around and met Wen Zhining's murderous eyes, he froze.

"Teacher..." Mo Lin scratched his head awkwardly, "I'm back. Are you okay?"

Wen Zhining dropped the gentle and amiable look he had on Ming Nuo, and stared at Mo Lin with a stern expression like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves: "Heh."

Although Mo Lin hadn't said a word, he trembled violently and said with a smile, "Teacher, I have been severely punished by the Empire and have changed my ways. Please give me another chance. I will study hard and graduate successfully this time."

Senior Brother Mo Lin hasn't graduated yet?!

Ming Nuo looked at Mo Lin in surprise. His expression was so easy to understand. Mo Lin coughed unnaturally, "Don't you think that if I'm with your sister, the rest of my life will be stable..."

Little did I know that I would be abandoned halfway.

Wen Zhining sneered again: "Heh."

Mo Lin: “…”

Sweating all over.

Ming Nuo's eyes flickered between the two of them. The atmosphere seemed like a fight was about to break out at any second, so he held Wen Zhining's arm nervously to prevent him from getting too angry and knocking Senior Brother Mo Lin down with one punch.

Wen Zhining was indeed very angry now, but he could still maintain his rationality. He rubbed Ming Nuo's head and said, "You should go back first. I have something to discuss with your senior brother."

The last three words were dragged out for a long time, with a hint of gnashing of teeth in them.

Ming Nuo realized that Wen Zhining was deliberately trying to get him out of the way. He looked at Senior Brother Mo Lin hesitantly, then stood up and left the office. The moment he closed the door, he heard the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground from inside.

"Teacher! Teacher, calm down! Stop hitting me. I know I was wrong! I really do!"

The dull sound of punches hitting flesh reached Ming Nuo's ears through the door. His hand was still on the door handle, and he sighed for what had happened to Senior Brother Mo Lin.

Why did he come back just after the teacher's crash course in boxing? If it had been a few days earlier, the teacher probably wouldn't have hit him so hard.

The news that Mo Lin was beaten up by Wen Zhining spread quickly. Mo Lin's screams were so miserable that some passing students could not help but stop outside the door to eavesdrop, and then could not wait to spread the gossip on the school forum.

At noon, before Mingnuo returned to the dormitory, he stopped by to see the cotton in the ecological park.

Because Cotton is much more docile than ordinary Tassan behemoths, but still aggressive towards strangers, for the safety of students, the gate of the ecological park is always closed, and only with permission from the school can one enter to observe Cotton.

As the owner of the cotton, Mingnuo did not have to abide by this rule. He directly used facial recognition to enter the ecological park.

Surrounded by dense forests, the air is very humid, and insects in the grass jump out from time to time, startling people. A fully enclosed tunnel made of glass stretches across the entire ecological park.

There were several students and teachers standing inside who came specifically to observe the Tasang monster. They all came for their graduation thesis related to the Tasang monster.

They originally thought that they would never be able to see the Tasang beast in their lifetime, but they didn't expect the school to really give them this opportunity. However, no one knew where the Tasang beast named Cotton had gone, and they had not seen any trace of it for a long time.

When they turned their eyes, they were suddenly shocked to see Ming Nuo standing in the ecological park.

"Oh my God, is he going to die?"

"It's His Highness Lorian! Call him in quickly! If the Tasang beast appears now, it will be the end of us!"

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Unfortunately, the sound insulation of the tempered glass was too good, and Ming Nuo did not hear the other party's call. He looked around and couldn't find Mianhua, so he simply shouted at the top of his voice: "Mianhua, Mianhua, where are you?"

The ground shook. Cotton's body was now over five meters tall. The scales on its body were hard and sharp, and they glowed coldly under the artificial light. It ran towards Mingnuo enthusiastically, letting out a low growl of pleasure from its throat.

The Tasang beast also has a voice change period. Cotton's voice used to be soft and whimpering, but now it has completely turned into a low and hoarse roar.

The students and teachers in the glass walkway were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The students had covered their eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer, while the teachers opened their smart brains with trembling hands to contact the administrator of the ecological park.

"His Highness Lorian? Oh, it's okay. He is the master of the Tasang beast." The administrator was calm and at the same time comforted the teacher, "With His Highness Lorian here, you can see a completely different Tasang beast."

Under the shocked gazes of the teachers and students, Cotton ran to Mingnuo happily, wagging his strong tail excitedly and sniffing around Mingnuo.

Just like a puppy seeing its owner... This thought came to the minds of the teachers and students present at the same time.

Mingnuo smiled and touched the other's big head. Mianhua lay down, making it easier for Mingnuo to touch its head.

Ming Nuo sighed: "It's a good thing the principal built an ecological park for you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to live in a villa with your size."

Cotton purred softly and closed his eyes comfortably under Mingnuo's caress. He enjoyed Mingnuo's closeness and his whole body became docile, as if he would fall asleep in the next second.

Ming Nuo lifted its ears and told it, "I have a competition tomorrow and can't come to see you. You have to eat your meal well, okay?"

Cotton understood what he said and immediately opened its eyes wide, as if it didn't expect Mingnuo to dare not come to see it for a whole day.

The next second, Mianhua didn't want Mingnuo to touch it anymore. It stood up and walked around irritably. It kicked over the huge bowl prepared for it and growled at Mingnuo.

Getting angry.

Ming Nuo's eyes flashed with helplessness as he tried to appease the increasingly irritable guy. "I definitely won't have time to look after you then. So... I'll ask my brother. If he's willing to take care of you, will you follow him?"

Cotton thought about it and obediently put the kicked-over bowl back to its original place. Mingnuo knew that it agreed.

Mingnuo stayed for a few minutes and then turned and left. Mianhua watched his back disappear from her sight, then turned and plunged into the dense forest.

On the glass walkway, the students looked at each other, shocked by what they saw.

"So... the Tasang beasts can be so docile?" a student muttered to himself. "But doesn't the textbook say they're bloodthirsty and lack even the most basic cognition?"

The teacher patted him on the shoulder and said, "Textbooks are just the experiences of past generations, so we need to keep improving and correct our previous misconceptions."

But… the teacher frowned and looked down at the handwriting in the notebook. There was no Tasang stone on the cotton. So what did the Tasang stone mean to the Tasang beast? And at what stage would it grow?

The teacher wrote down the two questions and rubbed his brows tiredly. There was still so much they needed to understand.

…

In the dormitory, Sedwick was holding an arm trainer in his hand, bending it again and again, and his muscles bulged out strong and well-proportioned, while Lin Yu was racking his brains to guess the theme of tomorrow's exercise.

Only Field was leisurely browsing the posts on the forum. The news that Senior Brother Mo Lin was released from prison and was beaten up by Professor Wen Zhining became a hot topic in just one hour.

Countless students from Helios Academy were at the forefront of the discussion, wondering whether or not Senior Brother Mo Lin would be directly expelled by the professor this time.

After Mingnuo returned to the dormitory, Field asked him about Mo Lin with great interest, "Did your senior really get beaten up?"

Ming Nuo nodded, Senior Brother Mo Lin's screams still ringing in his ears, "He got beaten really badly."

Field didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Mo Lin. Instead, he said eagerly, "I really want to be there to watch the action... No, what if Wen Zhining gets the chance and slaps us in the face too? That wouldn't be worth it."

Mingnuo felt that it was very likely. If the teacher was really so angry that he lost his mind, he would not be able to distinguish between friend and foe.

"The military has arrived at the school." Sedwick walked to the window and looked down. "I think the competition venue will be ready by tonight."

The joint confrontation exercise uses a holographic scene, and the theme is different every year. Of course, everything will be kept confidential before the competition officially begins.

Ming Nuo walked quickly to the window and saw a team in military uniforms marching in neat steps passing by their window, and the highest-ranking general in the front was actually an old acquaintance.

"Brother Garland?" Ming Nuo turned to look at Sedwick in surprise, "Aren't you going to say hello to your brother?"

Sedwick's expression was indifferent. "I don't want to go."

If I go there, I will definitely be teased. If I go with Mingnuo, the situation will only be worse.

Sedwick had already imagined that Garland would hug Mingnuo, sigh, ask Mingnuo why he liked him, and then ask Mingnuo to consider other people.

"All right."

Seeing that Sedwick was really unwilling, Mingnuo did not try to persuade him. After all, not all brothers were as close as he and his brother.

At the conference venue of this confrontation exercise, Garland was installing a holographic device. Not far away, a security officer was using a detection instrument to monitor the surrounding environment.

"Major General Garland." The security officer looked at the data on the screen, walked over to Garland, and said with a frown, "There is a group of unusual and special energy sources. After comparison... it is the Tasang beast."

Garland thought of Mingnuo's confiscated Tasang beast and said, "Helios College has a Tasang beast in the ecological park next door."

The security officer was surprised. Helios College was indeed a top university, and it actually had a Tassan beast. So he directly ruled out this energy source and confirmed it was a safe energy source.

That night, the energy sources belonging to the Tasang beast suddenly increased to ten, but because they were safe energy sources, they did not trigger an alarm.
