"Senior, why are you here?" Yan Hao's eyes, which were already a little sleepy, brightened up the moment he saw Sheng Heng. He ran over happily and stopped in front of Sheng Heng.
Seeing the joy that was almost written all over Yan Hao's face, Sheng Heng felt as if he had been given a big mouthful of honey. His heart was filled with sweetness. He couldn't help but stretch out his head and hug the person in front of him into his arms.
Although it was Yan Hao who confessed first, he was the one who fell in love first. The day after Yan Hao confessed, they separated, which made Sheng Heng feel a sense of unreality. He even thought that the confession at the mecha training ground that day was a dream he imagined. He wanted Yan Hao to open up, so he imagined it. Why? Because since they separated, Yan Hao and his way of getting along have not changed much. He even took the initiative to call him only once, and that was to ask how to get along with fellow apprentices.
If it was in the past, Sheng Heng would not feel anything. After all, Yan Hao was so obsessed with research that he would even forget to eat. How could he remember him as his senior? But now it was different. He was no longer his senior, but his girlfriend. Moreover, it was Yan Hao who took the initiative to confess and pursued him. The two of them were so cold in their relationship, not like newlyweds at all. Oh, it was the kind of sweetness and stickiness of just falling in love.
Is this what the legend says, that once you get something you don't cherish it?
Well, Sheng Heng admitted that he just felt insecure. Until this moment, until he clearly saw the joy in Yan Hao's eyes, the uneasiness in Sheng Heng's heart faded a little.
I knew it from the beginning that my junior brother doesn't understand emotions. He should be thankful that he can come to his senses. Let him do the rest.
Thinking of this, Sheng Heng tightened his arms around Yan Hao's head.
Yan Hao is not good at interacting with people. He had no chance to experience family, friendship, and love in his previous life. In this regard, anyone could do better than him. So he is not good at being too close to people, but he likes the feeling of being hugged by Sheng Heng, which makes him feel that he is loved.
Almost instinctively, Yan Hao raised his head and arms, imitating Sheng Heng's behavior and put his arms around Sheng Heng's waist, making their already intimate posture even more intimate.
Sheng Heng took a shower before coming over, and there was still a faint scent of bath fragrance on his body. Yan Hao liked this smell and couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Senior, you smell so good."
Sheng Heng froze. When he touched his waist, he started talking like this. Could it be...
"What brand of shower gel is this? It seems to have a calming effect." Yan Hao continued.
Okay, I was overthinking it.
"This was specially developed by the pharmacists of our Ares Corps. It contains a kind of herb unique to the planet S36, which can have a soothing and calming effect. It is used to help soldiers quickly stabilize their emotions after battle." Sheng Heng explained, "The rooms here are all equipped with this shower gel. There is also one in your bathroom."
"I like this taste." Yan Hao couldn't help but take another sip.
He had been traveling in space these days and had not slept very well. After getting off the spacecraft, he was taken directly by Mr. Zhong to upgrade the system. He worked for seven or eight hours at a time. At this time, when he smelled the calming scent on Sheng Heng, he felt that his tense spirit relaxed and he couldn't help but like it.
Sheng Heng looked deep in his eyes, and felt his lower abdomen tighten. If he didn't know Yan Hao well and knew that he was not hinting at something unspeakable, he would have definitely pushed him down.
After all, he is now a man of status, so if he is pushed down, it should be possible... right.
After taking a deep breath, Sheng Heng let the person go. There was no other way. If he didn't let go, he would be exposed.
"It's getting late, you should have a good rest. I'll go back first." Sheng Heng felt that he had to go back and take another shower.
"By the way, didn't you say during the day that you wanted my help with something? What is it?" Yan Hao couldn't help but ask, thinking of what happened during the day.
"It's not urgent. Wait until you're done." Sheng Heng was waiting here not to ask Yan Hao for help, he just wanted to see Yan Hao. As for the eldest brother's matter, although his condition was serious, it was not urgent.
"Okay." Yan Hao was indeed a little sleepy. After Sheng Heng left, he took a shower, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the next few days, Zhong Lao, Yan Hao and Babi Chong were busy with the upgrade. Thanks to Yan Hao's powerful computing ability, the test of the third-generation system went much more smoothly than expected. The test that was originally planned to be completed in half a month was completed in a week. A week later, Zhong Lao confirmed that there were no more technical problems with the system, so he notified Sheng Zhuo and asked him to make arrangements and start upgrading the system in batches.
The new system requires a process of familiarization, so the whole army cannot be upgraded right away. A part of the army must be familiar with it before the next batch of upgrades can be carried out. Otherwise, when the mecha warriors are familiar with the system, the Zerg suddenly attacks and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
This batch upgrade is another long process, conservatively estimated to take at least ten days. During these ten days, in addition to keeping an eye on the new system every day, Mr. Zhong spent almost the rest of his time answering questions from the mecha manufacturers who came to consult him.
Yan Hao and Babi Chong followed behind him and learned a lot about mecha problems that can only be encountered on the battlefield. They also benefited a lot. Especially Yan Hao, he had just finished learning mecha repair from Master Pang. Seeing so many damaged mechas and so many strange repair methods, he couldn't help but study them. He even took the initiative to ask the experienced mecha manufacturers in the base. These mecha manufacturers, for the sake of Master Zhong, answered Yan Hao's questions without hesitation, so the two sides had an extremely pleasant process of mutual learning.
During this process, Yan Hao was very happy, but Mr. Zhong was not happy. This holiday was clearly for me, so why was Yan Hao still learning the knowledge points that Old Man Pang taught him? But even though he was unhappy, Mr. Zhong had no choice, because Yan Hao had already learned the knowledge points he taught him. Moreover, he learned it all by himself.
So angry!
When Yan Hao was discussing with a mecha maker how to quickly repair the weapon system, his optical computer terminal suddenly flashed. Seeing this, Yan Hao turned around and went to ask for leave from Mr. Zhong: "Teacher, can I take half a day off?"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm going to repair a mecha." Yan Hao did not hide it.
Repairing mechas? Was this doing the homework assigned by old man Pang in my class?
"Is there something wrong with Sheng Heng's mecha?" Babi Chong suddenly asked.
"Well, senior went out on patrol with the base's patrol team two days ago and just came back. It seems that something happened to the Black Soul. I have to go and take a look." Yan Hao said.
"Sheng Heng?" Elder Zhong recalled and remembered that this was the owner of the camouflage mecha that his young apprentice had modified. "He's here too?"
"Yes." Yan Hao nodded.
"Then why do you need to take leave? Why don't you just ask him to bring the mecha here?" This was originally the maintenance room of the base.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Yan Hao lowered his head and sent a message to Sheng Heng.
The maintenance room where Yan Hao is now is the No. 1 maintenance room of the base. The mechas parked in it are all high-level mechas of the base, and the mecha manufacturers responsible for maintenance are all mecha manufacturers above level 7. Sheng Heng's black soul is not qualified to enter this maintenance room for maintenance, so he sent a message to Yan Hao to let him come out. But at this time, Mr. Zhong spoke directly, and Sheng Zhuo naturally opened a back door for his brother and let him enter the No. 1 maintenance room directly.
Soon Sheng Heng came in from outside and respectfully bowed to Elder Zhong as a junior. The etiquette was a bit too strong, and Elder Zhong frowned, but then he didn't care. After all, with his status, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with him, so it was not surprising that he was respectful.
"Your last name is also Sheng, and you are a member of the Sheng family?" Because of Yan Hao, Mr. Zhong couldn't help but ask Sheng Heng a few more questions.
"My father is Sheng Tianxing," Sheng Heng did not hide it.
Mr. Zhong narrowed his eyes suddenly.
Sheng Heng met Mr. Zhong's gaze openly without dodging at all.
Zhong Lao recalled that half a month ago, the three generals of the Federation sent him invitations at the same time, but the Sheng family's invitation did not mention Yan Hao. After he arrived at the base, Sheng Heng did not appear in front of him until now, and Yan Hao did not take the initiative to mention anything other than work. Just now, he directly sent a message to ask Yan Hao to leave, which was obviously avoiding him.
He had been avoiding me before, but now he so openly admitted his relationship with General Sheng. He did this for only one purpose, he didn't want me to misunderstand Yan Hao. After all, he just happened to draw the Sheng family when he drew the lot this time.
Thinking of this, Elder Zhong looked at Sheng Heng with a softer gaze: "Take out your mecha."
Sheng Heng was stunned when he heard this. Did Mr. Zhong mean that he wanted to check his mecha personally?
"Second Young Master, why are you standing there? Take it out quickly." Diya, who was in charge of receiving Mr. Zhong, quickly reminded Sheng Heng.
Some recruits in the base may not know Sheng Heng, but Diya is the chief mecha maker trained by the Sheng family. He knew Sheng Heng when he was very young. At that time, Sheng Heng's head was not injured yet. He was a mecha genius that could be foreseen in the future of the God of War Corps. He once coaxed Sheng Heng and said that when he grew up, he would build him a level 9 mecha. It was a pity that an accident later caused the genius to fall.
Dia hadn't seen Sheng Heng for more than a decade, until this time, when Sheng Heng drove the modified Black Soul to the base again. As a mecha maker, who wouldn't be curious about the mimicry mecha? On the first day Sheng Heng came, he borrowed the mecha from Sheng Heng for research, but unfortunately the mimicry system was too complicated, and he didn't dare to modify it at will. He just took a simple look at it and returned it to Sheng Heng.
But Master Zhong is different. Everyone in the Federation knows that Master Zhong is the originator of the mimic driving system. Master Zhong is willing to repair the mecha for Sheng Heng. What a rare opportunity. Maybe he will upgrade the Black Soul system if he is happy?
Sheng Heng came back to his senses and quickly raised his head to take out the black soul from the space button. In an instant, a pitch-black mecha stood in front of everyone.
Mr. Zhong took a glance at the mecha and found that the appearance was intact and there was no major damage.
"What went wrong?" asked Mr. Zhong.
"Weapons." Sheng Heng replied.
Weapons? Elder Zhong raised his head and looked at the place where the mecha was equipped with weapons, and then his pupils shrank.
Level 8 particle cannon, and why does it look so much like it was made by Old Man Pang?
"Is there something wrong with the converter?" When Yan Hao heard that there was a problem with the weapon, he subconsciously thought of the converter he designed. After all, the two particle cannons were designed by his teacher himself, so it was impossible for them to have problems easily.
"The attack power has been reduced a lot." Sheng Heng didn't know what went wrong, he could only state the problems he found.
"I'll go up and take a look." As he said that, Yan Hao was about to look for the elevator nearby, but as soon as he turned around, someone had already pushed the elevator over for them.
"I'll go up and take a look too." With that, Mr. Zhong and Yan Hao got on the elevator together.
The cockpit was not big to begin with, and since Mr. Zhong had gone up, it was not convenient for Sheng Heng to follow him up, so he could only stay downstairs with the others.
Entering the cockpit, Yan Hao attached his optical computer to the sensor. Black Soul passed the verification and opened his driving authority to Yan Hao. After the authority was opened, Yan Hao quickly called up the weapon system and started the test.
A string of numerical values representing the weapon status quickly appeared on the screen. Yan Hao took a quick glance and immediately found the problem.
"Sure enough, there's something wrong with the converter." Yan Hao said.
"Is this an energy converter?" Through the circuit diagram and formula displayed on the virtual screen, Mr. Zhong saw the function of the converter at a glance.
"Yes." Yan Hao nodded.
"Old Pang made this? When did he get so bored?" Although this energy converter can achieve cross-level weapon configuration by converting energy, it is not cost-effective in actual combat. After all, it is a waste to equip high-level weapons on low-level mechas. For a qualified mecha manufacturer, every weapon should be used to its maximum power.
"This is... something I made." Yan Hao said weakly.
"..."Mr. Zhong.
"Well, you made it, it's a good idea." Zhong Lao was so roundabout that his face suddenly turned red. "Then this weapon should have been made by old man Pang, right? Did the kid below ask you to ask old man Pang to make it?"
Old Man Pang knew that he had rarely helped others make weapons in recent years. Only his apprentices and some old friends with whom he had a particularly good relationship could order weapons from him.
"The teacher took the initiative to send it." Yan Hao said.
"Take the initiative to give it to others?" Mr. Zhong was surprised. "Why would he take the initiative to give things to others?"
Yan Hao paused, feeling a little embarrassed, but still answered honestly: "The teacher said, it is... a meeting gift."
"It's a gift for a meeting. We are not related and this isn't the first time we meet, so why would I give a gift?" Mr. Pang, like him, is a neutral person and has never heard that he has any connection with the Sheng family.
"A gift for my apprentice's wife." Yan Hao said in a low voice.
"Oh, so that's... what did you say just now?" Mr. Zhong could hardly believe what he heard.
Yan Hao had already said half of his words, so he just told the whole story: "I was planning to confess my love to my senior at that time, and I made this converter to give it to him as a confession gift. When the teacher found out, he took the initiative to give me these two level 8 particle cannons."
In a word, Mr. Zhong suffered a double blow.
In the first level, the young disciple actually has a partner, and he took the initiative to pursue her.
On the second level, Old Man Pang actually gave a gift to his apprentice’s wife first, without even informing him. He was really scheming.
They are both teachers, so how could he be outdone by old man Pang?
The strong desire to win made Zhong Lao quickly ignore the first blow and focus on the second blow: "Well, in this case, I will give him a gift as well."
"!!"
"It's just right. It's almost time to teach you the sixth-level mimicry system. Take this mecha as an experiment and I'll show you." said Mr. Zhong.
My own mimicry system is not an eighth-level particle cannon that you can buy outside. I will definitely win this round.
"Thank you, teacher." Yan Hao's voice was trembling with excitement.
Whether it was the system that could help seniors upgrade their dark souls, or finally being able to learn more advanced mimicry knowledge, Yan Hao was extremely excited.
