Chapter 105 Rich and Powerful
When Achen was brought out, his face was deathly pale, and there was a trace of bright red blood at the corner of his lips. When Yu Shan saw her son's terrible condition, she was shocked and asked, "What happened to him? Why is he like this?"
Mu Hong took out another bottle of mental energy restoration potion and fed it to A-Chen, explaining in a rare gentle tone:
"Madam, please don't worry too much. He's just exhausted from overworking his mental energy. He'll be back to normal after half a day of rest."
"Madam, would you like to see the scene that A-Chen visualized using his mental power during the test?" Yi Feng hurriedly asked.
Yu Shan was actually very angry, after all, they had never said that the test would cause any harm to the child's body before they conducted it.
Xiao Bai was so heartbroken that he wanted to tear the shop down immediately, but considering that this was someone else's territory, it was best to find out what had happened before deciding whether to take action.
The couple were taken to the next-door rest room by Yi Feng, who then pulled up the test records and started playing them.
"After the test subject enters this space capsule, the testing device will provide him with a kind of mental guidance. The scene he sees is the most heartwarming picture in his memory or in his imagination," Yi Feng explained, pointing to the purple bamboo forest in the picture.
Xiao Bai felt extremely guilty upon seeing this scene.
He had lost so much in his son's life that in the hallucinations his son saw, there was his mother, his Aunt Lele, and his Uncle Xiaobao.
But he wasn't among them!
"After immersing the test subject in the most beautiful scene, the testing device first simulates the scene in his memory of the most ferocious enemy attempting to kill his most cherished relatives and friends, in order to stimulate his fighting spirit," Yi Feng continued, pointing to the scene of the zombie siege.
When Xiaobai saw that his son only called out "Dad" once and then gave up calling out again after he didn't appear in time, choosing to face the enemy alone, he couldn't help but complain, "You brat, is your dad really that unreliable in your heart?"
“At least when I woke up, only my son and Xiaobao were by my side,” Yu Shan retorted.
Although she knew it wasn't his fault, Yu Shan couldn't help but feel heartbroken when she thought of her seven-year-old son, who was alone with his unconscious mother, on the run.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too careless. They put the suppression ring on me, forcing my son to escape with you alone," Xiaobai said with extreme remorse.
Yu Shan ignored his emotions, her eyes fixed on A Chen's battle. When she saw him finally kill all the zombies, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing full well that it was all an illusion, she still found her emotions fluctuating wildly with it. Yu Shan felt that she, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan, seemed to have become less resolute.
"The test subjects who completed this battle were deemed to have strong mental strength and were worthy of being trained as mecha warriors."
He will then be surrounded again by a simulated Zerg invasion scenario created by the testing device, a scenario primarily designed to test his mental fortitude and character.
If he were a selfish and cowardly person, he would choose to abandon his relatives and friends in the illusion and escape alone.
Even if someone like that has good talent, my teacher would scoff at him and would never personally build a mecha for him.
In addition, my teacher, because of his reputation and talent, is entitled to recommend one outstanding person each year.
My teacher would never recommend a child of poor character to the Central Star Military Academy.
Even in the face of life and death, Ah Chen remained by his family's side without a single thought of running away, which is enough to prove his excellent character.
If he could persevere in supporting his family and friends when he was young, then when he went to the battlefield as an adult, he could also be trusted by his comrades.
Moreover, his subsequent performance exceeded expectations. A child of only seven years old remained calm in the face of danger and, under high pressure, independently comprehended the conversion between mental power and different attribute abilities.
His talent and comprehension are unparalleled, and coupled with his excellent qualities, my teacher was extremely satisfied with his performance.
With Yi Feng's explanation, Yu Shan and his wife watched the entire process of their son fighting the enemy in the illusion.
If it were any other child, faced with a swarm of insects that blotted out the sky, even if they refused to escape on their own, they could at most cling to their mother and cry, waiting for their doom to come.
But he persisted until the very last moment, annihilating all the insectoids, and died of exhaustion in the illusion.
Xiao Bai was very pleased that his son was just as responsible and dependable as he was, and that he could remain calm and wise in times of crisis.
Faced with a formidable enemy, he neither abandoned his family and fled nor blindly charged forward to his death. Instead, he found a way to unleash his strongest fighting power and successfully annihilated the enemy.
As a father, he felt proud and honored to have such a son.
Yu Shan was deeply moved. Her son, whether in reality or in the illusion, steadfastly protected her and never gave up.
"Sir, Madam, Achen broke the record for the entire StarNet children's group test. As testers, we are deeply honored," Yi Feng said with envy.
"What exactly were the test results?" Feather Fan regained his composure.
"This test is a virtual mental strength test, and the result represents the height that Achen can reach in the future."
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to break through to SSS level or even higher in the future, because the highest data in our test is only SSS level.
As for his current mental strength level, after this round of testing, he has broken through from C+ to B level.
I think the teacher will personally build him a custom-designed mecha to suit his developmental needs. You don't need to buy it anywhere else. Just leave your contact information and wait patiently for delivery.
When Yi Feng said these words, his heart was bleeding with heartache!
He could almost foresee that his teacher would build a top-of-the-line mecha for Achen.
The parents in front of us didn't look like wealthy people at all; they definitely couldn't afford the cost of the mecha.
But he knew his teacher's character best. Since he had his eye on A-Chen's talent and temperament, even if his family couldn't contribute a single contribution point, his teacher would build him a top-tier mecha for free!
Putting aside the processing fees, the raw materials alone would be enough to wipe out all of Poyun Mech's income for the next five years.
"Teacher, oh teacher, my earning speed can't keep up with your spending speed, ahhhhh!" Yi Feng couldn't help but wail in his heart.
He's now hoping that Achen's parents will be sensible and empty their pockets, so that even if they can't cover the cost of materials, at least he'll lose less.
The couple, who were treated as penniless, completely failed to grasp Yi Feng's thoughts. At that moment, they were only concerned with their son and proud of him.
Fortunately, the process didn't last too long. Yu Shan was the first to come to her senses and looked at Xiao Bai, who was holding her son with a worried expression, and said:
“I think we should find an auction house to sell off some of our supplies. I suspect we might not have enough energy stones left to cover the cost of this mech.”
"You don't need to worry about that. Although we left Green Algae Star in a hurry, my grandfather almost emptied the warehouse of all the rare metals and medicinal herbs."
"Mart inquired with the city lord of Lin Dong City when he was on Silverwing Star. Some of them are also very valuable in this star system. If you just take some and auction them off, it should be enough to pay for the mecha," Xiao Bai said.
Feather Fan was immediately relieved. Although she had regained memories of three different lives, she had been in a coma during the part where she left Silverwing Star, so she naturally didn't know what Caesar Lannister had done.
Recalling the care the old man had shown her and her son, she felt somewhat guilty.
She abducted Morti Lannister, the most outstanding grandson whom Caesar had groomed as his heir, and made him her partner. To make her feel comfortable, he was willing to give up his surname and become an ordinary, unremarkable person by her side.
There's also Ah Chen, a great-grandson whom the old man cherishes, who has now left his homeland for her sake.
Yu Shan made up her mind that once she returned to the Holy Witch Clan and settled her people, she would definitely bring the two darlings of the Modi family back to see the old man—no, now there are three.
I wonder how happy the old man would be to see Xi'er born.
"By the way, Mr. Yi Feng, I forgot to ask earlier, how much deposit do we need to pay for Master Mu Hong to order the mecha for my son, Achen?"
"Or do you require full payment now? Please let us know the total amount so we can prepare accordingly," Yu Shan said with a smile.
"How much money do you have? Um, I mean, this mech is very expensive, so it's okay if you can't raise the money right away."
"Given how much my teacher values A-Chen, he'll definitely give you some discounts, so you don't need to worry too much about the cost of the mecha."
Yi Feng's words were tactful, but Xiao Bai understood his implied meaning and couldn't help but sneer:
“Mr. Yi Feng, I am very grateful for Master Mu Hong’s kindness to my son.”
However, as a father, when buying gifts for his son, he will naturally act within his means and will not take him to look at expensive luxury goods that he cannot afford.
"Tell me, what's your estimated price range for this mech?"
Yi Feng was also angered by his words, thinking to himself, "Since you want to humiliate yourself, why should I give you any more face?"
"I remember the last time the teacher commissioned a mecha for a young lady whose talent was slightly inferior to A-Chen's, the raw materials alone cost a full 50 million contribution points."
After saying this, Yi Feng looked at Xiao Bai, hoping to see a complex expression of shock, shame, and regret on his face, but what he saw was a calm expression.
"Okay, I understand. I'll prepare double the contribution points within three days. That should be enough to cover the labor costs, right?" Xiaobai said.
Yi Feng: It turns out that he himself brought this humiliation upon himself!
