Chapter 23: Troubles



"Yes, mother." George obeyed Milena's words. Only he knew that his mother not only had a beautiful face, but also had excellent social skills and keen intuition. Otherwise, she would not have been pampered by a man like Edmund for so many years, and he would not have been engaged to Ivan Percy, a prodigy with a very high status and background.

After explaining everything, Milna sat down on the sofa, raised her well-maintained hands, and admired her freshly done nails. "What are you doing on StarNet so late at night?"

In the video, there is no background behind George, which is a situation that only occurs during StarNet calls.

"We're doing mecha combat training."

"Well, that's right. I knew you were a hardworking and good kid." Milna said with a smile, "If you have nothing else, hang up now."

"Mother..." George said with some embarrassment, "Can you talk to father and ask him to transfer some more federal currency to me?"

"Didn't I just give you 50,000 federal coins a few days ago? You spent it all so quickly?" Milna's eyebrows suddenly raised.

"Yes... no, no, no... I mean, I bought some emblem materials for Alvin and upgraded a few parts of the mecha, so I spent a lot." George lowered his head somewhat unnaturally.

When Milna heard Ivan's name, her brows relaxed a little. "I see. Ivan is also a hard-working kid. But you are still young, so it's better to be more careful with your money."

"Yes, mother."

"Got it. I'll transfer 20,000 to you later. Don't you know what kind of person your father is? He definitely won't transfer any more federal currency to you this month, so you better spend it sparingly."

"Okay, Mother." George breathed a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the call with his mother, George returned to the arena and frowned fiercely as he looked at the record of 93 wins and 1 loss that appeared on the screen.

At this moment, he suddenly received a video call request. After taking a look at the caller ID, he immediately picked up the call and smiled gently.

George is tall and strong, with deep and stylish facial features inherited from his mother. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is also a handsome young man. At this moment, he has a gentle smile on his face and looks at the cute boy in the video with gentle eyes.

"George, how are you using the ice spikes? Is it working smoothly?" The boy was very cute, with delicate features and two dimples when he smiled.

"Ice Spike is very good. We have fought five games and won four out of them."

"How could this happen? There's still a battle to go? Could it be that we encountered other advanced mechas?" The young man showed a surprised expression.

"No, it's a YC-158."

"How is that possible?! You're JA-144! With the help of Ice Spike, there's no way you can lose!"

"But I just lost..." George sighed, "Maybe I'm just not as skilled as others..."

The boy bit his lower lip and looked at George. "Impossible! I must get to the bottom of this. He must have cheated! Did you record the fight?"

"This isn't a good idea..." George looked embarrassed, but the slightly raised corners of his lips proved that he was in a completely different mood.

"Oh! George, you're just too good-tempered! How can you tolerate something like this? Even if you don't give me the battle video, I can still find it!"

"Okay, there's really nothing I can do about you." George looked at him lovingly and sent a video to him.

"Alright, leave this to me. George, just keep earning Arena points. As long as you can get into Zone C before the end of the month, I'll talk to Dad and give you a spot in the Rookie Mecha Competition."

"Okay, thank your father for me." George looked at the boy opposite with a focused and serious look, "Ivan, you are so kind."

"Hate it. I won't talk to you anymore." A blush appeared on the boy's fair cheeks, and he hung up the phone shyly.

After finishing his call with Ivan, George was in high spirits, even pumping his fist in the air to express his excitement. If he could really secure a spot in the Rookie Mecha Competition, he'd have the opportunity and stage to showcase himself!

With the high-end mecha built for him by his father at a huge expense, as well as various emblems made by Alvin himself, plus his own combat ability, he will surely shine in the competition!

********

Have a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Auckland woke up refreshed, having no idea what had happened after he went offline the day before.

After a night's rest, his consciousness had almost recovered. He drank a bottle of nutrient solution, thinking it was breakfast. He glanced at the time. It was just after six o'clock, and the sky had just brightened. His transfer exam was at ten o'clock in the morning, so he had plenty of time.

He put on the smart helmet and logged into the Star Network. He was so tired yesterday that he didn't have time to test the emblem with the golden shield rune drawn on it.

He needed to complete the test quickly. Auckland wasn't sure about the quality of the emblem; it was just a test. If it wasn't high quality, only around B grade, he would give it to Rachel. If it was higher quality, he would sell it on a consignment platform at a high price.

It was early in the morning and there were not many people on the Star Network. Auckland found an empty area, turned on the energy tester, and began testing the virtual emblem.

The energy of the emblem tested was 67144GJ, which is A-level, not very high, but when testing the attribute level, something unusual appeared.

A shield shape first appeared next to the scale bar at the bottom of the tester, and then the value on the scale bar began to rise, and finally fixed at 48%. Among the A-level emblems, this can be said to be the top attribute, and it is only 2% away from being comparable to the S-level emblem.

Auckland nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this emblem could be sold for a high price.

At this time, he had not yet realized that he had created a new type of emblem with extremely special hidden attributes, and what kind of storm this special emblem he created would cause in the entire galaxy in the future.

Not long after, many people's computers received prompt messages that an A-level emblem had been hung again in the inconspicuous little online store they were following. When they saw the specific information noted on the emblem, they all showed expressions of extreme shock.

The data tested by the energy tester was published in the information column below. This was an operation automatically completed by the intelligent computer, and there was no case of the seller privately rewriting it. Therefore, no matter how unbelievable they were, it proved that the attributes of this emblem were really ridiculously high.

When they saw the price marked on the emblem, they were shocked again. The selling price was as high as 15,000 federal coins.

This is just an A-level virtual emblem! No matter how good its attributes are, it can't change the fact that it is just a virtual emblem. Who would spend so much money to buy a virtual emblem?

However, as if reality wanted to slap them in the face, the emblem suddenly disappeared before their eyes, replaced by two large bright red characters - SOLD OUT.

Sold out so quickly?!

It's only been less than three minutes, right?

There was another wailing in the Star Network. Those who had not even gotten up at this time, when they found out that they had missed out on a top-grade defensive emblem, felt so remorseful that they wanted to explode on the spot.

After that, this inconspicuous little online store became famous. It didn't even have a store logo or a sign, and had only sold two items in total. However, these two items were enough to surpass more than 65% of online stores that specialize in selling virtual emblems.

After receiving the payment, the person concerned leisurely logged off, preparing to take a break and take the transfer assessment.

As soon as he took off his helmet, he saw the computer screen on his wrist light up, indicating that someone had initiated a video call to him.

Seeing that he didn't recognize the number, he didn't think much about it and picked up the phone, only to see George's livid face.

"Auckland! You're doing very well! Since last night, you haven't answered any calls or replied to any messages. You're simply outrageous! Give me visiting rights immediately and let me go upstairs!" George was actually already downstairs in Oakland's dormitory.

"What's the matter?" Auckland's good mood after making money early in the morning was ruined by this person, so his attitude was naturally not very good.

George's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared at the video. This person didn't even grant him access right away. Instead, he asked him impatiently what was going on!?

If George could enter the dormitory building, he would have rushed up and beat Oakland up.

The military academy is heavily guarded, with biometric identification systems installed at the entrances to the dormitories. Students living in the building are not allowed in, and even students on different floors cannot access each other. To enter a specific floor of a dormitory building, a student living on that floor must grant visitation permission. Failure to do so will trigger an alarm and result in disciplinary action according to school regulations. That could be quite a hassle.

"I told you to grant me visitation rights! Did you hear me?!"

Oakland yawned lazily. "George, I have something else to do later. If you don't have anything else, I'll hang up."

"You dare! You..." George didn't finish his words before the phone was hung up.

Auckland hung up George's call without any psychological burden, set the alarm for 9 o'clock, and then crossed his legs to prepare for meditation.

He wasn't worried about George retaliating against him. The First Military Academy's defenses rivaled the highest-level defenses used by the federal government. If someone could circumvent the academy's defenses and attack him, those who wanted to kill him wouldn't have to wait a whole year until he left the First Military Academy.

Therefore, he was confident that as long as he continued to stay in the First Federal Military Academy, his life would not be in danger. Moreover, according to the original owner's memory, George inherited the characteristics of Myrna and Edmund. He was a weak but superficial person and was not to be feared at all.

George was so angry with Oakland that his lungs were about to explode. He kept calling Oakland's phone number, but no one answered.

It goes without saying that the little bastard must have turned on the Do Not Disturb function.

With no other options, he could only text Milna again, "Mother! I rushed to his dormitory early this morning, but he didn't answer the phone. I finally got through just now, and I asked him to grant me visitation rights, but he refused and hung up on me. He hasn't answered my calls since then! What should I do now?!"

"How dare he?!" Milna, who was having breakfast, nearly dropped her coffee upon hearing this. "It seems this little bastard has really grown wings! We absolutely cannot let him take the transfer exam! His transfer exam is at 10 o'clock. No matter what, he must leave the dormitory at 9 o'clock. You'll just have to wait for him there."

"But there are cameras everywhere outside..." If he got visitation permission, he could enter Auckland's room. If he refused to give up the transfer exam, he could just use force to keep him inside. But if he was outside, there would be cameras and infrared scanners everywhere. If Auckland refused to obey him, he would have no way to do it.

"You silly child, I will have someone buy something online and send it to you right away. When you see it, you will know how to use it." Milna raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"Yes, Mother."

Five minutes later, George received a small box containing an anesthetic injection. He immediately understood what his mother meant, but he felt suffocated because he had to wait downstairs for more than an hour.

After Milna hung up the phone, she received an email with Auckland's medical examination information. Her usual beautiful smile vanished instantly, and her beautiful eyes, as if filled with poison, revealed a cruel look.

"I see, I see..."
