On the surface, everything seemed normal, as if nothing had happened last night, except for the people from the Shang family who seemed to be in a hurry. Considering that Robert and his entourage had just arrived at the Shang family yesterday and had a tough journey, today was purposely taken as a day for rest and relaxation.
Bai Linan was summoned by Robert early in the morning.
When Duan informed Ye Chong that he was free to do whatever he wanted today, Ye Chong went out alone. What he needed to do now was to retrieve his identity card. While Mu had given him a fake identity of Wang Xing, he did not have Wang Xing's identity card with him. Fortunately, it was not the first time Ye Chong did this, and he was familiar with it. There were a few groups of people following him, but Ye Chong managed to shake them off.
Once he got his identity card, Ye Chong returned to the Shang family. He went straight to his room the moment he got back, leaving those who were supposed to be watching him but lost him in the dark. They could only stare at each other helplessly.
Ye Chong went back to his room and logged into the virtual world. The Maverick who was responsible for monitoring Ye Chong's access to the virtual world was fooled by Mu's formidable presence, as if he did not notice anything.
Ye Chong logged into the virtual world and arrived at the NR training center. The scene before him stunned him.
The entire NR training hall was crowded with people, and every pillar was filled with people.
"Mu, do you know what's going on here?" Ye Chong asked.
"I need 20 seconds!" Mu had been busy with something these days, but it was obvious that his attention was not on this.
Ye Chong looked at the people around him curiously, and it was not hard to tell from their expressions that they were acting with a strong purpose, even though Ye Chong did not know what their purpose was.
20 seconds passed in the blink of an eye. Mu's arrival meant that he had found the answer, "Ye, they're waiting for you!"
"Waiting for me?" Ye Chong was surprised. He did not expect himself to be involved, since he did not know these people at all.
"Yes! To be more precise, they're waiting for YC! "Mu said.
“YC？ Isn't YC me? "Ye Chong asked curiously, as he could not understand Mu's words.
"That's why I said they're looking for you!" Mu explained.
Ye Chong was still confused by Mu's explanation. He had no choice but to explain everything from the beginning. Ye Chong could not figure out what these people were thinking. In his opinion, the behavior of these people was inconceivable. What was even more incomprehensible was that there were actually so many people using such an inefficient and low-probability method!
To Ye Chong, leaving the NR Training Center immediately was the most logical choice.
Ye Chong went to a few more NR training centers, but all of them were so crowded that it made him wonder if anyone was still training there.
Fortunately, Mu was there, so Ye Chong went to the NR training center with the least number of people.
As expected, there were very few people here. The hall was empty. It was the first time Ye Chong had seen such a deserted NR training center.
"Huh? Mu, why are there so few people here?" Ye Chong asked curiously. Ye Chong had been to many NR training centers, but he had never seen one as empty as this one.
"This place used to belong to Planet Haberda. Due to the gradual deterioration of the environment, Planet Haberda underwent a large scale migration 15 years ago. This should be an abandoned pulse signal station. The photon processor is still running on its own. The NR training center here was not destroyed. The specific reason is unknown," Mu explained. This was the least populated NR training center for mech pilots he could find.
"Oh! I see! " Ye Chong did not ask further. As for the reason of migration and to where, Ye Chong was not that curious.
Ye Chong walked to a pillar and tapped it with his finger. A translucent holographic screen popped out. He took a quick look at the screen. As expected, he was the only one here.
Mu had not spoken a word since the beginning. Ye Chong knew that Mu was no longer here. Once Mu logged into the virtual world, he would appear and disappear unpredictably. No one knew what he was up to. Ye Chong even asked Shang about it, but the man could not explain it either.
Ye Chong entered a random photon room. The training last time was quite interesting, but he could only last for 5 minutes.
In the pitch-black room, countless light orbs sped up and flew towards Ye Chong like moths to a flame.
Wei Yuan cursed his teacher countless times in his heart. That damned old man, that perverted old man, that pair of perverted eyes that should be rotting, as long as he saw a female student, his eyes would light up. He was the scum of all the teachers! Scum of humanity!
Wei Yuan's teacher was a strange old man. He was a loner. Of course, that was only for the male students. His dedication towards the female students made all the male students in his class jealous. They hated themselves for not being girls! While the number of girls in the mech pilot course seemed to be increasing, the boys still had the absolute advantage. However, in Wei Yuan's class, the majority of the girls were girls. Old Xin had a good reputation among the girls. He had been told by the seniors, and almost all the girls in the mech pilot course wanted to join this class.
Wei Yuan had always regretted enrolling in this class. Wei Yuan's uncle was also a teacher in this school, and was also a teacher in the Mech Pilot Department, but he strongly recommended Old Man Xin to Wei Yuan's parents, saying that Old Man Xin was one of the top experts in the school, and was also very experienced in teaching!
One of the best? Wei Yuan had snorted at this many times! He was probably one of the worst! After following Old Man Xin for so long, Wei Yuan had never seen the old man perform a demonstration. Every time it was just a theoretical lesson, but when it came to practical lessons, there would be a mech pilot by his side who Wei Yuan had no idea where he came from. The only thing that Wei Yuan was slightly satisfied with was that the mech pilots invited by Old Xin were not bad at all. Many of them were experts!
Sigh, I don't want to miss him anymore! Miss him? Wouldn't that make me feel bad? Wei Yuan immediately threw the thought of Old Xin out of his mind.
Soon, he reached home. His house was quite far from the academy, but he could get home in such a short time. This was all due to his excellent mech piloting skills. Although he was a mech pilot, Wei Yuan's only talent in this field was mech piloting. Mech piloting mainly referred to the mech pilot's ability to fly. This was one of the necessary qualities for a mech pilot.
Wei Yuan seemed to be born with a unique understanding of mech piloting. Whenever the mech flew at an astonishing speed, he would feel an inexplicable excitement as he watched the scenery on the holographic screen flashing past him. It was an excitement that made him tremble in his bones! The so-called fastest in the academy was a joke in his eyes.
Unfortunately, his talent was limited to mech piloting. He had nothing else to show for it. His biggest headache was shooting. It was as if he was born slow in this area. No matter how hard he tried, he could only barely pass. This was the most frustrating thing for him!
Old Man Xin did not give him any meaningful guidance at all. All he did was casually tell him to take it slow! This angered Wei Yuan so much that he almost punched Old Man Xin's annoying face.
"I'm back!" Wei Yuan greeted lazily as he entered the room.
"Oh!" A male voice came from the room. Wei Yuan lived with his father. His mother passed away not long after giving birth to him. Since then, he and his father only had each other. Wei Yuan's father was an engineer. He was also a workaholic. Once he started working, he would not care about day or night. That was why Wei Yuan often found it strange that he did not starve to death when he was young. It was a miracle!
Back in his room, Wei Yuan laid on the soft bed. He stared at the ceiling. His lazy face showed a maturity that did not match his age.
His thoughts were wandering!
How nice it would be if Mama was still alive! He had seen his mother's holographic image many times, but he had never seen a woman as beautiful as his mother. On the white ceiling, his mother's image seemed to appear. His vision became blurry, and he felt sleepy.
Sigh! Before he fell asleep, he let out a long sigh from the bottom of his heart, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
Wei Yuan woke up in the middle of the night. He got up and looked for something to eat. He peeked at his father's room. The light was still on. Wei Yuan chewed on a piece of vanilla cake and shuffled back to his room in his slippers.
Once in his room, Wei Yuan logged into the virtual world.
He was going to a deserted NR Training Center for Mech Pilots. He stumbled upon this NR Training Center by accident. He found it strange that there was no one in the NR Training Center. When he tried to use the facilities, he found that it was fully functional. Since then, he used the place as his private training center. He trained hard in there alone every day. No one else knew that he had just barely passed the marksmanship test, and that he had gone through a lot of hard training to achieve it!
In the eyes of others, he was just a lazy guy. Moreover, he kept a low profile in the academy. No one knew how good he was at mech piloting. His appearance could only be considered ordinary. His height, face shape, and body shape were also ordinary. Not to mention his temperament and the like, those were even more sloppy and ordinary! No matter how one looked at him, he was unremarkable. Until now, he had never received a love letter from a girl.
He only pursued it in his own world!
And this NR Training Center, was his world!
He entered the hall. As usual, there was no one. Sigh, my own world will always be lonely! He shook his head, laughing at himself for being so sentimental. He smiled and cleared his mind, planning to start his daily training.
He suddenly remembered the recording of YC that he saw yesterday. YC's amazing performance in the glowing room had left him dumbfounded. He never thought that there would be someone who could be that strong!
At least Wei Yuan knew that he had never practiced mech combat, so he did not want to try it himself. As a mech pilot, he knew the difference between the virtual world and reality. Mech combat may be growing in popularity in the virtual world, but in reality, long-range combat still held an absolute advantage. In reality, people only had one life. No one dared to use what they had learned in the virtual world. Life was one's own. Long range combat had been developed over the years, but the practicality of mech combat remained to be seen!
However, Wei Yuan wanted to see how long he could last in the Luminous Sphere Room. Of course, he did not have to block, but dodge!
He had never been to the Luminous Sphere Room before. In the NR Training Center, he mostly used the basic training rooms. His mech piloting skills were the direct result of his training. He believed that as long as he trained his basics, it would be beneficial for his future.
It was his first time using the Luminous Sphere Room, and Wei Yuan had no idea where it was. He had no choice but to go back to the hall. He came to a pillar, and tapped lightly with his finger. A translucent screen popped up. It was the terminal of the NR Training Center. It had a self-service system that could help solve various problems.
There were various training rooms marked on it. Eh? Wei Yuan was stunned!
There was someone? How could there be someone?
Did I see it wrong? Wei Yuan hurriedly examined it carefully again. That's right! There was someone there! And the room he was in was the Luminous Sphere Room that he planned to go to.
YC？
YC？ YC？ Why did it sound familiar? Wei Yuan felt that he had heard the name before, but he could not remember where. Luminous Sphere Room!
Ah, YC! Wasn't it that YC?
He finally remembered who this YC was!
Didn't he watch the holographic recording of YC last night? He could not help but curse himself for being so careless!
As someone who was on the virtual world every day, there was no way he would not know about YC. While he was not an avid mech combat fan, he had seen a few of YC's more famous battles.
This NR Training Center was still connected to the MPA. To use the facilities, one must first register. Therefore, Wei Yuan did not doubt the authenticity of YC.
He was just curious, how did YC find this place? Was it a coincidence like him?
However, Wei Yuan was more excited than anything else. YC! He was a famous person in the virtual world, and a real expert in mech combat. The news of the search for YC was all over the place, and he did not expect to meet him here!
Hah, luck is on my side today!
Without a second thought, Wei Yuan clicked into the Light Sphere Room!
*****
I have to skip today again. I have a dinner party tonight, and my friend is already at my door. I haven't finished the 181 sections, so I'll post this one first! If it's still early tonight, I'll finish it! Or else I'll have to wait until tomorrow! But don't wait for me tonight!
Fang, who did not fulfill his promise, would like to apologize again!
