Chapter 19: Let me hold you always.

"He really changed!"

Cheng JinXue complained to Ge LuEn bitterly and sorrowfully: "He

is no longer the man who only had mecha in his heart! Love is

really fcking terrifying."

Ge LuEn, however, was very understanding: "This is quite

ordinary. Wen XiaoYun is not that young anymore. A while ago, I

saw Madam Wen declaring everyday that she was going to

arrange marriage interviews for him. Right now he already has

someone he liked, isn't this even better?"

"Not to mention." Ge LuEn continued to say: "You're also getting

on in age. It should be your turn soon as well."

"No! Don't even go there." Cheng JinXue looked like he got quite

the scare: "I like sweet, soft girls."

Ge LuEn cursed with a laugh: "It's not like you need to find a man

like Wen XiaoYun. And plus, what's wrong with men? Men are

also pretty good. They can be your best friend while being your

wife. On the battlefield, they can go through toil and hardship

with you together. When there's no war, they can bring you joy in

bed. What's not good?"

Cheng JinXue had a complicated expression: "Oh great master,

so you're a man with a history. Come, tell your story."

Ge LuEn: "...….."

He gave Cheng JinXue an eye roll: "The robot you're talking

about just now, is it really that impressive?"

Cheng JinXue said; "Of course. Definitely exceeding your

imagination."

Ge LuEn said: "Let's not talk about digging holes and such. You

said it can be controlled with psychic powers?"

Cheng JinXue said: "That's what the little friend said. However,

the one he made is different from the one that Boss made. The

one boss made is... uh... like a mischievous fairy."

Ge LuEn became interested: "It's that intelligent?"

Cheng JinXue said modestly: "Probably smarter than me."

Clearly, he was very self aware of his own IQ.

Ge LuEn was one the most famous mecha creators in the Empire.

Some random words from Cheng JinXue were not enough to

convince this grand master.

Even Wen XiaoYun's mecha, Wo Si, was created by him. He was

too aware of his own abilities. Therefore, Cheng JinXue stopped

wasting his breath and beckoned towards Xiao PoLan, who was

sitting there watching cartoons.

"Hey, Xiao PoLan, come over here. Show our grandpa Ge LuEn

just how impressive you are."

Sitting with one leg over the other, Xiao PoLan stared

unblinkingly at the cartoon projected onto the wall with its

mechanical blue eyes, completely ignoring Cheng JinXue.

Cheng JinXue gave a soft cough: "Xiao PoLan, give big bro some

face here!"

Xiao PoLan slowly turned its head around and scanned him with

its mechanical blue eyes before slowly turning its gaze back onto

the wall.

At this moment, Cheng JinXue saw a human-like ridicule in its

eyes, at least lvl10 in strength.

Cheng JinXue grinded his teeth: "I'll call you big bro instead,

alright?! PoLan-ge!"

Xiao PoLan put down its leg and changed into another position.

Ge LuEn was utterly confused by what he was hearing: "What are

you self-performing over there?"

Cheng JinXue threw the pot: "Grandpa! PoLan-daye! Just look at

your pitiful grandson here?"

Xiao PoLan finally stood up leisurely and rolled over with its

mechanical wheels. It used its eye expression to indicate to

Cheng JinXue: Good grandson, what do you need from grandpa?

Cheng JinXue carefully lifted PoLan-daye up and placed it in front

of the monitor so that it can see Ge LuEn face to face.

"You two fellow grandpas, feel free to chat leisurely."

Through the screen, Ge LuEn stared into a pair of mechanical

blue eyes.

One man and one robot crossed gazes for a few seconds.

Xiao PoLan blinked its eyes: You need something?

Ge LuEn said: "Xiao-Cheng, I can't tell what's so special about

this robot, other than looking a bit worn down."

Xiao PoLan froze for a split second.

Then it reached out a hand and opened a little storage

compartment on its chest. Wen XiaoYun had designed this so it

could scan and find spare components.

It pulled out a speaker from the storage compartment and nimbly

dismantled its original speaker, swapping the new one in.

A male mechanical voice sounded.

Xiao PoLan: "Human, I advise you to speak better."

Ge LuEn: "...…"

Cheng JinXue received a bigger shock: "Xiao PoLan, you can

actually talk? How come you never talked before?!"

There wasn't really anything strange with a robot that can speak.

But what astonished Cheng JinXue was that he didn't know Xiao

PoLan could install a speaker for itself!

Xiao PoLan: "You trying to teach me how to live?"

"......no, I wasn't, I was just...….making a suggestion."

Ge LuEn's eyes beamed brightly: "Is a pre-installed program?

Right now, there are indeed many robots that can reach this kind

of intelligence on the market."

Xiao PoLan: "My creator only installed one program for me."

Ge LuEn: "What program?"

Xiao PoLan: "Pick up trash."

Ge LuEn: "????"

Ge LuEn lamented bitterly: "What a waste of natural resources!

Who's the idiot that did this!"

Xiao PoLan: "I didn't say it."

Ge LuEn: "What?"

Xiao PoLan: "Wen XiaoYun is an idiot."

For a second, Ge LuEn couldn't turn his train of thought around.

Cheng JinXue reminded him quietly: "Boss was the one who

made Xiao PoLan."

Ge LuGe fell silent for a moment: "Did I say something just now?"

Xiao PoLan: "Wen XiaoYun is an idiot."

Ge LuEn: "......"

Ge LuEn almost hopped in anger because of Xiao PoLan.

However, despite being angry, his eyes shined.

The layman can only understand enough to say awesome. An

expert only needed one glance to understand that this wasn't

only awesome. Ge LuEn didn't even feel bothered about Wen

XiaoYun breaking Wo Si anymore. Immediately he asked Cheng

JinXue for B-324's coordinates, planning to fly over to speak with

Zhuang Zhou in person.

That's right. Although Cheng JinXue said this robot was made by

Wen XiaoYun, Ge LuEn can tell. He knew Wen XiaoYun all too

well. How could he not know what kind of skills the other man

had?

Therefore Ge LuEn felt, this must have been made by the little

friend called 'Zhuang Zhou".

Wen XiaoYun must have been worried that his outstanding skill

would be noticed by others and subsequently attract danger.

That's why he said he made it himself.

As one of the most famous Mecha creators in the Empire, Ge

LuEn had countless influential officials requesting him to make

mechas for them. Naturally, he had a very broad network.

He finalized his trip to B-324 very quickly.

He didn't go with great fanfare, but many of the influential

officials, who were all waiting for him to make a mecha, naturally

paid special attention to his whereabouts.

After learning that Ge LuEn was going to the abandoned planet

B-324, the various influential officials and higher class all had

different speculations regarding this.

Why would Ge LuEn go to B-324? Did Wen XiaoYun's condition

turn for the worse?

Even if something did happen, it shouldn't be Ge LuEn who goes,

right?

Did something happen to Wen XiaoYun's mecha, Wo Si, instead?

The mecha, Wo Si, was publicly known as the one of the most

powerful mechas in the universe.

Then adding Wen XiaoYun's SSS psychic power and physical

strength , Wen XiaoYun managed to sweep away all issues and,

in a few short years, become the youngest admiral.

Now that Wen XiaoYun's psychic power has been contaminated by

energy radiation and is declining nonstop.

If an issue occurred to his mecha as well, he might be unable to

hold his leadership position in the 3rd legion for much longer.

Some people felt worried because of this. Some people started to

scheme because of this. Wen XiaoYun himself didn’t seem to

care. After finishing his work, he accompanied Zhuang Zhou in

picking up spare components, building mechas, and sleeping

together at night.

Spending half a month like this, Wen XiaoYun discovered

something.

Everyone on the entire battleship Wyvern were all extremely

friendly with Zhuang Zhou.

This kind of friendliness wasn’t the flattery kind of friendly.

Instead it was a kind of…… indescribable eccentricity.

Just like right now.

Wen XiaoYun and Zhuang Zhou returned carrying a pile of

components inside. In the past, all of the 3rd legion’s crew would

avoid him on sight out of fear. Now, after greeting him

respectfully, not only did they not leave, they’d even start

enthusiastically chatting with Zhuang Zhou.

“Zhou Zhou! Thank you for your incense. Did you know? After I

worshipped the Wealth God yesterday, my mom sent a message

to tell me that she had won the big lottery of 30 million galactic

dollars!”

Zhuang Zhou: “Wah! Congratulations! You have such good luck!”

“Me too, Zhou Zhou. Let me tell you, when squad leader Zhang

Feng told me about this before, I didn’t even believe it! Who

would have imagined, immediately after I finished worshipping, I

won a raffle on the interweb and received a mecha as the prize!”

Zhuang Zhou’s brows curved: “Really? That’s awesome!”

Wen XiaoYun: “.......”

Very good. The little friend has practically turned the entire 3rd

legion into the Wealth God’s fanatic followers.

“Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou, me me me me, do you still remember

me? At first I didn’t believe it either. But I don’t know what

happened yesterday night…… I suddenly dreamt of you…… I think

it was you? I can’t really remember very well. The next day, I

followed your words and experimentally made an offering. Later

in the morning, my dad gave me a phone call saying that he

finally found my long lost little brother! QQ, I’m really too happy.

Thank you for your incense!”

Wen XiaoYun: “......?”

While you were in my dreams yesterday night, you can also visit

other people’s dreams at the same time?!

Zhuang Zhou was somewhat embarrassed: “No need to thank

me. It’s because of your sincere hearts. Devotion makes your

wishes come true.”

Encountering a difficulty that involved fulfilling unrelated wishes,

Zhuang Zhou needed to utilize his own ability…...

For those who wished to become rich, he just blew some air on

said person so good luck can attach to them. This counted as a

blessing.

With increased luck, those who wished for other unrelated things,

would pretty much get their desires fulfilled as well.

“No! I have to thank you. I heard that making wishes using pure

incense would make it more likely to come true! Thank you for

giving me incense!”

Zhuang Zhou’s face turned red. Aiya. He was too embarrassed to

say… that all of these incense were for him to inhale……

Clearly, under the elite little squad’s recommendations, the news

passed quickly from mouth to mouth on the battleship Wyvern,

one to ten, ten to one hundred.

People started at first with the mentality of just giving it a try. In

the end, they completely became the Wealth God’s devoted

followers.

Zhuang Zhou’s Divine Powers also advanced.

With his current Divine Power, he can even extend his blessing to

his follower’s family!

In addition, he didn’t need to return to the Divine Image to sleep

anymore to recover his strength. As long as the Divine Image

was by his side, he was able to recover his divine powers.

Zhuang Zhou was happy. However, Wen XiaoYun wasn’t happy.

Especially when sleeping at night.

Wen XiaoYun asked seriously: “Do you have to hug your dad’s

statue while sleeping?”

Zhuang Zhou lowered his head: “...... En.”

If he didn’t go into the Divine Image to sleep, hugging the Divine

Image like this would help him recover faster.

Wen XiaoYun said with a serene tone: “But what to do?”

Zhuang Zhou didn’t understand: “What do you mean what to

do?”

Wen XiaoYun said: “I don’t want to wake up the next day and find

your dad moving from your arms into mine.”

Zhuang Zhou’s face turned red: “Has, has this happened before?”

Wen XiaoYun said: “Actually, I have a plan.”

Zhuang Zhou asked: “What plan?”

Wen XiaoYun reached out and slowly turned Zhuang Zhou

around. Letting Zhuang Zhou turn, back facing him, Wen

XiaoYun pulled the other into his embrace, saying: “Let me hold

you always.”
