Chapter 070
Wu Zimo, who was playing chess with Zhou Gong in his dream, didn't know that the secret about Ares that he didn't want others to know was almost guessed by Scott and Rocard. Although the two are not 100% sure now, Scott and Rocard have already started to pay attention to it.
The next time Ares dares to show up so carelessly and use his mental power, the chance of his identity being exposed will be very high.
Fortunately, Wu Zimo had warned Ares once before, telling it not to use its mental power easily outside. In addition, Ares has a passive skill - the talent of isolating himself from mental detection. Unless he sees Ares' eggs with his own eyes, even Scott, the super sentinel, cannot detect Ares' existence.
This is the only thing that makes Wu Zimo feel at ease now. Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to let that cute egg come out. It's too dangerous!
The next day, Wu Zimo went to his private laboratory to work after breakfast as usual. With so many advanced instruments, Wu Zimo would feel really sorry for the Marshal for preparing such a complete set of testing instruments for him if he didn't turn into a research maniac.
However, before Wu Zimo had worked for long, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory. Wu Zimo was stunned, wondering why someone would come to find him at such a time. And the sound of the knocking on the door was very rhythmic, not at all like that messy guy Rocard.
Wu Zimo opened the door and saw an old man who looked like he could be his grandfather standing outside. When the door of the laboratory opened, the old man's eyes lit up instantly!
However, when he saw Wu Zimo, the young boy, the old man frowned, and his eyes kept secretly glancing behind Wu Zimo, as if he was looking for something.
"Uh, old man, who are you looking for?"
"I am……"
"Master Haili, how can you run so fast!"
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Rocard, who had followed the old man, finally caught up. He looked at the old man who was staring at Wu Zimo in silence.
He couldn't even catch up with an old man, how embarrassing!
"Ahem, Wu Zimo, you're out."
Hearing that Rocard was obviously trying to change the subject, Wu Zimo rolled his eyes and pointed at the old man standing in front of him who was peeking behind him. Without saying a word, he used lip language to ask Rocard who was standing behind the old man: Who is this old man?
Rocard sniffed his nose silently, grinned, and actually kept the secret. He did not introduce the two people to each other directly, but advised the old man who looked a little anxious: "Master Haili, let's go in and talk first."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's go in quickly."
When Rocard reminded the old man of this, an expression of sudden enlightenment immediately appeared on his face.
Yes, how could it be possible to see that amazing programming master outside! Although the laboratory behind the young man did not seem very big, perhaps the unknown master was blocked by those advanced instruments.
The old man came back to his senses, looked up hurriedly and gave Wu Zimo a kind smile, then walked straight past him and into the laboratory.
To be honest, Wu Zimo was really confused by the old man's behavior, so he had to turn to look at Rocard.
However, Rocard just gave him a calm look. Wu Zimo pouted helplessly and stopped blocking the door. He stepped aside to let Rocard in before closing the door of the laboratory.
When Wu Zimo and Rokar walked into the laboratory, they saw the old man who had come in early in the morning wandering around the laboratory like a blind fly, as if he was looking for something or someone.
But looking at the expression on the old man's face at the end, he probably didn't find what or who he was looking for, so he looked a little depressed.
Everyone was in the laboratory. Wu Zimo looked at Rocard with a questioning look. If Rocard kept keeping it a secret, Wu Zimo would definitely let him know that even if he was a weakling, he still had combat capability.
"Ahem, Master Hailey, you..."
"Stinky boy, where is the master you mentioned? Why can't I see him?"
This time the situation really took a turn. Just now it was Rocard who interrupted the old man, but now it was the old man who interrupted Rocard.
Even though he was interrupted by the old man, Rocard's expression did not change and he was still smiling. However, when he saw that the old man was indeed angry, Rocard immediately spoke in a flattering manner to comfort him.
"Master Haili, how could I possibly lie to you? Since I said that master is here, he must be here!"
Wu Zimo looked at Rocard, who was about to pat his chest to make a promise, and always felt that there was something wrong with the way he looked at him.
As for the master that Rocard mentioned who would be in his laboratory, Wu Zimo completely ignored him.
"How dare you, little brat, tell me who cheated my most talented new disciple away from me last time! You can't even control your mouth, humph!"
However, Master Haley, who was familiar with Rocard's character, immediately complained to Rocard, who was making a promise.
Rocard, who had a smiling face, was suddenly choked. Because he really couldn't refute this, but Rocard felt it was worth it for him to be able to trick such a talented apprentice from Haley, the battleship programming master, into joining the Condemnation Legion!
However, just because Rocard was very satisfied with his behavior did not mean that he would show off so openly in front of the angry old man.
Rocard is always trying to kill himself in front of the Marshal because they are too familiar with each other. As for the Master Haley in front of him, although they have a close relationship, Rocard doesn't dare to seek death like he did in front of Scott.
"Master Haili, what you said is not right. What is the relationship between us? If your precious disciple comes to me, how can I not take good care of him? I originally wanted to ask him to come this time, but when I thought of you, Master Haili, an old senior, I would of course ask you."
"Humph! You used this kind of eloquence to trick Mu Xiaozi away, didn't you?"
"..." Rocard said that old people are really annoying! It’s so hard to appease, what should I do?
"puff……"
Wu Zimo, who had been standing quietly aside watching the show, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. It's rare to see someone other than Scott dare to choke Rockard so much that he is speechless. Wu Zimo felt so happy when he saw Rocard being humiliated.
However, Wu Zimo, who was laughing, didn't know that his laughter gave the choked Rocard a reason to divert Master Haley's attention.
"Master Haili, haven't you been looking for that great programming master?"
"How dare you bring this up, kid? If you hadn't told me that the great master was here, would I have left the program I was working on and come to the headquarters?! But where is the person! Where is the person!"
It would have been fine if Rocard didn't mention this matter. Once he did, Master Haley's anger rose sharply. Looking at the way he scolded and questioned Rocard, he really didn't look like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
However, before Wu Zimo could be surprised at the old man's strong energy, a quantum beast that looked a bit like a kangaroo and was half a person's height suddenly appeared. It jumped to Rocard who was being scolded by the master in the sea, and then used its thick tail to hit Rocard's calf. Then it leisurely returned to Master Haili and made boxing movements towards Rocard.
To be honest, it's normal for quantum beasts to be in tune with their masters, but the expressions of the kangaroo in front of him and the old man are so coordinated that if Wu Zimo wasn't pretending to be an ordinary person, he would have burst out laughing again.
Poor Rokar was not only scolded by Master Hailey, but also threatened by his quantum beast. It seems that he has been intimidated too many times during this period, so Rocard decided to go back to his beloved tonight to ask for comfort and touch!
Wu Zimo certainly didn't know that under such circumstances, Rocard was still in the mood to slack off.
However, compared to the old man who he initially thought was full of energy, it was no wonder that Wu Zimo only reacted when he saw the other party's quantum beast. At the same time, he also noticed that the old man opposite did have the aura of a sentinel, although it was very weak.
Master Haley stopped only after he had vented his anger. Only when he saw Rocard admitting his mistake obediently did he refrain from giving him another round of loving education from his elders.
However, if Master Haley knew that Rocard was deserting his post with his cowardly look on his face, the kangaroo-shaped quantum beast next to him would definitely let Rocard know that the boxing kangaroo is not just a name.
Judging from Rocard's appearance, he should be very adept at dealing with such situations. Look, as soon as Master Haley stopped, he immediately came back to normal from his fantasy, with a look of humility and respect as he listened to the lesson.
Wu Zimo couldn't help but admire this guy's superb skills. However, Rocard's next sentence made Wu Zimo no longer have time to admire this guy Rocard. Instead, he looked at him in confusion.
"Master Haili, the programming master you are looking for is this young man."
"ha?"
Chapter 071
"Rocard, what do you mean by that?"
"That master is this young man?"
At the same time as Wu Zimo's voice, Master Haili's incredulous questioning was heard.
Don't be surprised that Master Haley didn't believe Rocard's words, because it was too unbelievable.
It’s not that Master Haley doesn’t trust Rocard, it’s just that Rocard looks unreliable. However, when it comes to major issues, since Rocard is able to serve as the adjutant of Scott, the supreme commander of the Condemnation Legion, his words can still be guaranteed to be credible.
So before Wu Zimo could react, Master Haley, who didn't believe at first that Wu Zimo was the legendary programming master and instinctively asked back a question, the next moment he tightly grabbed Wu Zimo's hand and looked at Wu Zimo excitedly.
His mouth moved, but in this excited moment, Master Hailey didn't know what to say to this overly young master.
If the other person is an elderly person like himself, Master Haili believes that there will be a lot of topics to talk about. Even if he is not an old man, but a little younger, a middle-aged man, they still have a common language.
However, Master Haley thought that, to be honest, he doubted whether the man in front of him was an adult.
Because of this question in his heart, Master Haili blurted out this question when he finally found the words to speak.
"Child, are you an adult?"
“…”
“Pfft…hahahahahaha.”
Compared to Wu Zimo who was grabbed by the hand and asked such a confusing question, Rocard, who was watching with great interest on the side, laughed very unkindly.
Rocard's laughter was so harsh that it was impossible to ignore it. Wu Zimo of course reacted from his bewilderment.
He first smiled politely at Master Haley, who was also stunned by his words, and then struggled to break free from Master Haley's hands that were tightly holding him. Fortunately, Master Hailey's first question was so embarrassing that Wu Zimo was able to break free from his grip.
With his hands finally free, Wu Zimo smiled again at Master Haili who was still in a daze. The next moment, he ran to Rocard, grabbed the collar of Rocard, who was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt, and dragged him to the other side.
Rocard's limbs became weak from laughing, and seeing Wu Zimo holding him, he didn't dare to use any force for fear of hurting Wu Zimo. That guy Scott would definitely cause trouble for him. That's why Wu Zimo, a weakling in combat, was able to pull Rocard aside so easily.
Seeing Rocard being pulled aside by him, he tried hard to suppress his smile, but the results were not very obvious. Wu Zimo raised one hand, clenched it in front of Rocard, and then waved it in front of him before gritting his teeth and saying, "Tell me clearly what this is about!"
This time, Wu Zimo really spoke word by word, letting Rocard know that he was really angry this time.
Rocard saw that he was about to get out of control, so he immediately put away the smile on his face and explained in a serious manner: "This is Master Hailey, who Scott and I found especially for you. He is very familiar with the battleship control program."
"he?"
Of course Wu Zimo reacted immediately when Rocard mentioned this.
But this matter was just mentioned yesterday, and today a master was found to come over. Isn’t this too fast? However, after reacting, Wu Zimo quickly understood that judging from the attitudes of Scott and Rocard, they both really attached great importance to whether the program he provided could be installed on the interstellar battleship.
However, Wu Zimo was a little unfamiliar with the name of Master Haili.
Although Wu Zimo did not have the problem of looking down on his peers, he had been busy absorbing the programming knowledge of the Interstellar era and combining it with his own hacker knowledge during his time at Interstellar for only half a year.
He had no time to care about how many masters there were in the current interstellar age, but Rocard mentioned it specifically. Wu Zimo vaguely remembered that Teacher Millia had indeed mentioned such a master of battleship program systems who had good strength, talent and luck.
Strength and talent are indeed the most important for a technician or people in other industries, but another factor that cannot be ignored is luck.
The idiom "talented but not appreciated" is no joke.
There are some geniuses who are highly gifted and capable, but unfortunately they have bad luck. No matter what he did, he always failed, and no one listened to his self-recommendation.
Although it is often said that gold will always shine, even the best wine will be rejected if it is not well known.
However, Master Haley is different. Sometimes, researchers who study his life have to marvel and wonder, is Master Haley actually the illegitimate son of the goddess of luck? Otherwise, how could my luck be so good?
Master Haili is an orphan. Although the government in the interstellar era provides various good welfare benefits, his identity as an orphan makes his starting point lower than that of ordinary people.
However, Master Haley was adopted by the Alman family the day after he became an orphan. That’s right, it’s the Marshal’s Alman family.
Because Master Haley's parents were the guards of the previous highest leader of the Condemnation Legion, that is, the guards of Marshal Scott's grandfather.
At that time, Scott's grandfather did not bring his guards with him. He only took a few guards with him on a personal outing. However, perhaps the news leaked out or something, but on the way back, they encountered a large group of high-level dimensional Zerg. At that time, even including Scott's grandfather, there were only about ten people on the battleship.
Facing enemies that are dozens of times larger than oneself, it is simply impossible to escape safely. Master Haley's parents were responsible for the rearguard action during this ambush.
Finally, when the rescue team of the Condemnation Legion arrived, Master Haley's parents blew themselves up on the battlefield in order to give Scott's grandfather a chance to escape.
The outcome of that ambush was extremely tragic. Only Scott's grandfather and one of his guards were healthy, and the only remaining guard was seriously injured and took a month to recover in the medical cabin.
It is not impossible to quell the wrath of the highest leader of the Condemnation Legion and the head of the Alman family easily. At that time, the cleansing process had always been a taboo in the minds of some people in the federation.
When Scott's grandfather was cleaning out the traitors, he learned that Master Haley was an orphan who lost his parents because of saving him, and immediately adopted him in the name of the Alman family.
Master Haley's luck took off from this moment on.
His talent for battleship programming was revealed at the age of five. Of course, it was also because of such an environment that Master Haley grew up on Grandpa Scott's battleship.
He awakened at the age of ten and became a Sentinel. Although his quantum beast was a boxing kangaroo, it was amazing that his five senses enhanced not his combat power but his brain. He is more sensitive to the programming aspect, a bit like Wu Zimo.
Then everything went smoothly for him until now, when he is over a hundred years old. His attainments in interstellar battleships are so great that no one in the interstellar world can catch up with him.
Fortunately, Wu Zimo didn't know much about Master Haili's past, otherwise he would definitely feel that this master's life was either reborn with a golden finger or with cheats.
It’s really awesome! Even he, a time traveler, cannot compare to him.
However, Wu Zimo can be sure that the relationship between Master Haley and the Rocard family, or should I say the Alman family, is indeed very close, and he is an elder worthy of Scott's trust in entrusting Wu Zimo to him.
Master Haley finally calmed down and watched Wu Zimo and Rocard talking in a low voice. When he saw that the two had almost finished talking, he walked up to Wu Zimo with a smile on his face and introduced himself.
"Kid, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Fran. I'm the technician who received the order from Marshal Scott to assist you in researching the battleship control program."
Master Haley's attitude towards Wu Zimo is completely different from Rocard's, but Master Haley is not a proud person. Just like he introduced himself, although he has made great achievements in battleship control programs, in his eyes, he is still just a technician.
After hearing Master Haley's self-introduction, Wu Zimo had a better impression of him. Because he vaguely saw the temperament of a wise man in Master Haili.
