Chapter 244 Dream Forger
"What are you doing standing here?" Master Duanmeng frowned. "Are you not learning from your master anymore? Are you here to be my security guard? Standing guard?"
Natata's face flushed instantly, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no...that..."
If Master Duanmeng had not been impressed by this little girl during the Mecha Master Competition at that time, and remembered that she was quite talented in handling materials, he would have wanted to have her kicked out long ago.
He barely suppressed the impatience in his heart: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Natata swallowed her saliva and seemed to have made a great decision: "I'm sorry! But do you still remember? Liz Emon, one of your former students..."
Hearing this name, Master Duanmeng was silent for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know him!"
Natata was inexplicably no longer afraid at this moment, and continued courageously: "Think about it again? Liz Emon, you always disliked him for speaking too slowly and always stuttering..."
Master Forging Dreams no longer denied it, but he did not speak, and looked at Natata with cold eyes.
"He, he, he is my father!" Natata finally said the key point and breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Master Forging Dreams nervously, "You shouldn't have forgotten him, right?"
Liz Emon, a boy from an ordinary family in the third galaxy, dreams of becoming a mecha pilot. Due to his outstanding performance in a competition, he is accepted as a student by the Dream Forging Master.
Of course Master Duanmeng remembered him, because he was the first student who betrayed him and left the Neutral Star without permission!
"I've come to your island several times with Master before, but today is the first time I've mustered the courage to mention him to you." Natata recalled her father's gentle whispers in her ear. She wiped away her tears and said to Master Forge Dreams, "My father's last words before his death were to you."
"Master, my dream is not rubbish. I hope you are well and live a long and healthy life."
Because of this sentence, Natata hated the Dream Forger for a long time. She always stubbornly believed that her father was driven out of the neutral star and died of depression because the Dream Forger said that dreams were rubbish.
It was not until she became Master Xiao's student that Natata could not help but tell Master Xiao about this matter. Only then did she learn the truth of the year from her master.
Liz Emon is a poor student. Even though he becomes the Dream Forger's disciple, he still has very little money and materials at his disposal. In addition to completing the tasks given by the Dream Forger every day, he will work hard for his senior brothers and sisters to earn as much as he can.
This is because he has a dream—to create a mecha without any mental limitations!
Liz Emon had been secretly experimenting with this, but mechas were the most expensive, and this was a completely new field for him, requiring him to start from scratch. He began working even harder, working nonstop for days without sleep, and eventually collapsed in the Dream Forger's lab.
On the day he woke up, the Dream Forger sullenly asked Liz Emon what he had been doing recently and what kind of a mess he had gotten himself into.
Liz Emon told the truth, thinking he would gain his master's understanding. However, the Dream Forger just said with disdain, "You've let yourself get so badly hurt just for such a rubbish dream?"
In his youth, the most fragile thing was his self-esteem. In a fit of anger, Liz Emon unilaterally severed ties with Master Dream Forger and left the Neutral Star.
After leaving the neutral star, an imperial noble immediately contacted Liz Emon, saying that he was willing to provide financial support for his research and development. However, after Liz Emon tried for a few years, he found that this noble had always been writing blank checks. After a few years, there was no breakthrough, and Liz Emon was heavily in debt.
Only then did he realize how childish his behavior was, but since he had already chosen to do so, there was no turning back...
"Master Duanmeng actually feels very regretful in his heart. He has always been like this, with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Sometimes his words are really a bit harsh, but that is indeed not what he really means." Master Xiao learned the whole story from another student of Master Duanmeng.
Master Xiao sighed, "If I remember correctly, your father later desperately participated in various mecha parts and materials competitions to get the prize money to pay off his debts. In fact, Master Duanmeng would secretly use his own money to increase the prize amount..."
"He still recognizes your father, but he can't bring himself to persuade him to go back... You were very young when your father left, right?" Master Xiao rubbed his brow. "Actually, we've always wanted to help you, but we couldn't find you. We didn't recognize you as his daughter during the competition. You were recognized by us based on your own strength."
"That's wonderful, Natata."
Natata's eyes were filled with tears. "He actually missed you very much in his last days, but he couldn't express himself clearly when he was seriously ill. I can't remember everything he wanted to say to you at that time."
As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed solemnly to Master Duanmeng. "But there must have been a sentence in those words that the luckiest thing in his life was to be your student."
Natata stood up.
"Regarding mechas without mental limitations, I've inherited his legacy and started researching them. My master also happened to have some research experience in this area over the years. I will prove his dream to you." Natata sniffed. "I hope you can take care of yourself. At the same time, I also want to learn from you about the technology for making S-class mechas. I promised a friend that I would definitely make an S-class mecha for her. I hope you... I hope you can agree..."
She nervously clutched her sleeves and looked at Master Duanmeng. He had turned his back early, so she couldn't see his expression.
After a long while, he finally said, "I understand. Go away."
Natata was stunned for a moment, recalling what Master Xiao said. Master Duanmeng really agreed to this, so she quickly and obediently rolled out.
The door was closed gently. After a while, the door of the laboratory opened and Xu Lingqu walked out.
She saw the Dream Forging Master's red eyes.
When he saw her coming out, he quickly reached out to block her, but Xu Lingqu turned his back silently.
She whispered, "Natata hasn't forgotten the S-class mecha she promised me."
Master Duanmeng was stunned. "Her friend is you? You idiot, how could you agree to build an S-class mecha for a dead person!"
Xu Lingqu's mouth curled up: "I spent 150,000 to buy this."
"150,000?!" Master Duanmeng immediately shook off his grief and began to accuse Xu Lingqu. "150,000 for an S-class mecha? You think you're buying cabbage? That idiot actually agreed to it! I'm so angry! Not only did you cheat an old man like me, but you also plotted against my student's daughter!"
Xu Lingqu turned around and looked at the rejuvenated old man, shaking his head. "That's wrong. The price is clearly marked, and it's a consensual transaction. But what you mean by that is... are you really agreeing to give me a mecha for free?"
