Chris was very efficient and Hall got Auckland's contact number within fifteen minutes.
Hall stared at the string of numbers for a long time before pressing the dial button.
The dial tone lasted for a long time, and the unnatural expression on Hall's face gradually faded away, and slowly took on some suppressed anger.
Finally, when Hall's patience was about to run out and he was about to hang up the phone, the call was suddenly connected.
What I saw was a clean and handsome thin boy with smooth and fair skin. There was steam rising from his body, making him seem as if he was glowing.
A childish little face with a blush after bathing, holding a large towel in his hand, wiping the half-dry hair. The soft hair became askew due to his rough wiping. A pair of black eyes looked at the camera with moisture. The whole person had a fluffy feeling, making people want to rub it.
"Senior Hall?" Oakland didn't expect that the call would be from Hall. He was a little surprised and stopped wiping his hair. The big towel on his body slipped down, revealing a small part of his slender neck and beautiful collarbone.
Hall pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
"Senior Hall?" Oakland called out again, and even glanced at the computer to see if there was any problem with the communication.
"Ahem." Hall coughed softly, averting his gaze from the boy across from him and trying to appear more natural. "You said before that if I asked you to do something, you would definitely do it without hesitation, right?"
Auckland tilted his head and thought for a moment, thinking he'd said something similar before, so he nodded. As he tilted his head, the towel shifted again, revealing a lovely cherry-red hue on her fair chest.
Hall: ...
Seeing that the other party had no response again, Oakland couldn't help but call out again, "Senior Hall?"
Is the signal bad? Why does the video call keep freezing? Do I need to hang up and call again?
"I hope that in the upcoming Rookie Mecha Competition, you can join my team and become my exclusive herald!" Hall frowned and looked at the young man in the video, saying in an unquestionable tone.
The Rookie Mecha Competition not only has individual competitions, but also team competitions. He wants not only to win the individual championship, but also the team championship. He wants to let the world know that not only is he, Hall Williams, strong, but his team is equally strong.
The team in the team competition is composed of four mecha combatants and one heraldry master. The four mecha combatants will take the lead in the battle without being equipped with any emblems, fighting with their own abilities, while the heraldry master will create emblems as quickly as possible in the base camp and distribute them to teammates.
The team competition not only tests the combat capabilities of the mech fighters themselves, but also the skill of their heraldry masters. If a mech fighter is exceptionally strong, they may not even need a heraldry to win. However, if a mech fighter is weak, they can choose to stall for time, relying on the heraldry masters to increase their combat effectiveness and ultimately achieve victory.
Therefore, the best way to win a team competition is to ensure the extraordinary strength of both the Mecha Combat Division and the Herald Division.
"Are you talking about me?" Oakland wondered if he was hallucinating. Why would he want a freshman who had just transferred to another department to be his teammate?
"right."
"No, I'm just a..." Oakland flatly refused. He actually had no intention of dating Hall.
If it weren't for his engagement with Hall, the original owner might have been killed by his vicious stepmother, Myrna. It was because of his engagement with Hall that he was given the opportunity to study at the First Federal Military Academy. Therefore, he remained so calm when he learned he had a cheap fiancé.
The disparity in status between him and Hall was enormous, and it would be foolish to unilaterally cancel the engagement without any ability to protect himself. Hall wouldn't be very happy with the engagement, so he just needed to keep it going for now, and then agree when Hall proposed canceling it first.
Apart from their engagement, they had never met before, but he had never expected that Hall would appear in the name of his fiancé and help him as a guardian. He didn't know why Hall did this, was it simply because he felt sorry for him, or was there some other reason.
But no matter which one it was, he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, let alone someone like Hall. He just wanted to repay the other person's favor as soon as possible and return to the relationship of strangers in the past.
What Oakland really didn't want to admit was that Hall was an extremely charming person. From the first time he appeared in front of him, he left a deep impression on him.
In the world of cultivation, female cultivators with high cultivation and good talents are very rare. If the difference in their realms is too great, they will not be able to practice dual cultivation. Therefore, it is very common for men to form Taoist couples. His master's Taoist partner is a man.
Because he had been practicing with his master since childhood, he had never experienced worldly love and did not know what it meant to be moved. But his master once said that if you can't forget someone after meeting them once, then they might be the one you're looking for. But if they don't like you, then stay away from them, don't get along with them, and don't give them the opportunity to move you.
The word "love" can make people ecstatic or suffer.
Oakland realizes that Hall might be the one who can open the door to a new world for him, but he's hesitant to take the risk. Hall is too unpredictable, offering help first, then walking away coldly. He was the one who refused, yet he's the one who demands he fulfill his promise. What exactly does he want to do?
Hall was unaware of Oakland's unpredictable mental state. He simply narrowed his eyes slightly the moment Oakland refused. This was his reaction when he was in a very bad mood, and whenever he showed this expression, everyone would be chilled to the bone.
"I won't accept your refusal. I know you're the mysterious herald who's been making such a fuss on Starnet." Hall interrupted Auckland and said, "Join my team."
After hearing what Hall said, Oakland fell silent.
Hall did not urge him, but just stared at the boy opposite quietly. For some reason, the boy seemed to have some changes, and he looked different from before, but he could not tell what had changed.
"I understand." Oakland said slowly, "I can join your team, but you must keep my identity a secret. After the game, we owe each other nothing."
After hearing what Oakland said, Hall felt an inexplicable displeasure rising in his heart, but he couldn't explain where this feeling came from, so he could only nod slightly and said, "Okay, that's it."
The team and individual competitions of the Rookie Mecha Competition are the same. Except for the finals, all of them are held on StarNet. Auckland can still log in anonymously and participate in the competition with a virtual identity.
After saying that, he hung up the phone. However, just before the call ended, the boy lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his face, making him look a little fragile.
The screen went black too quickly, and Hall didn't have time to grasp the feeling he had when he saw the picture, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
"Chris!" The cooperation was reached, but Hall, whose mood was still bad, immediately sent a message to Chris.
"Boss? What's wrong?"
Chris's bright smile appeared in the picture, making Hall, who was in a bad mood, even more unhappy.
"Go online, see you at the battle training ground!"
"Ah?! Nooo ...
Chris was in tears. What on earth was going on with the boss? Who had he offended?
