Chapter 23: He needs to go on dates everyday.

Ge LuEn was still hesitating between worshipping the God of

Wealth and not worshipping him.

If he worshipped, he can get on the little friend’s good side. The

little friend would then research robots with him...... No, what’s a

robot worth? Mechas were the main point here!

Robots were only things for practice!

But if he worshipped, didn’t that indicate he also supported this

ludicrous superstitious behavior?

“No No.” Ge LuEn remained resolute and firm: “I definitely can’t

encourage your misguided ways!”

But if he didn’t worship, how was he supposed to coax the little

friend?

“How about I just pretend to worship a bit?” Ge LuEn sank into

conflict.

Cheng JinXue felt tired just watching from the side. He picked up

Xiao PoLan and said: “You take your time, old man. I will go do

my own stuff first.”

Ge LuEn: “What are you busy with? Shouldn’t you be helping me

think of a plan at a time like this?”

Cheng JinXue: “I already gave you the plan, but you’re the one

refusing to do it!”

Ge LuEn: “You guys are completely misguided here!”

Cheng JinXue: “Then you can take your time thinking of a plan

slowly.”

Saying this, he carried Xiao PoLan and got ready to leave.

Ge LuEn: “Wait! I promise, when I have time in the future, I will

make you a suitable mecha if you help me come up with a plan

right now to coax the little friend back.”

Cheng JinXue thought briefly: “I might as well coax Zhou Zhou

myself. Zhou Zhou can make such an impressive robot, his

mecha probably wouldn’t be anything less.”

And plus, the great master had come from far far away to find

Zhou Zhou to study together, what did this indicate?

This indicated that Zhou Zhou must be even more impressive

than the great master Ge LuEn!

He might as well get on Zhou Zhou’s good side directly. At the

very least, since they were both followers of the God of Wealth,

he and Zhou Zhou have many common topics to talk about!

Perhaps one day when the other is in a good mood, Zhou Zhou

will make a mecha for him!

The more Cheng JinXue thought about this, the more he felt like

this was extremely likely to happen. Immediately he decided: he

needed to distance himself from great master Ge LuEn!

What if Zhou Zhou saw him hanging around Ge LuEn and became

unhappy?!

Cheng JinXue turned around and ran off without any hesitation:

“Bye bye!”

Ge LuEn: “.......”

As the most well known Mecha creator in the Empire, it's been a

long time since Ge LuEn felt such disdain from other people!

Everyone in the 3rd Legion...… must be toxic right!?

Cheng JinXue didn't run far before he was ordered to the main

control room by Wen XiaoYun.

Cheng JinXue very regretfully said to Xiao PoLan: "Originally, I

wanted to take PoLan-ge on a tour around the battleship Wyvern.

Looks like it'll have to wait until next time."

Battleship Wyvern was very big. Adding the fact that it's a

military battleship, many areas were restricted. Because of this,

even though Xiao PoLan and Zhuang Zhou have been on the

battleship for almost a month, there were still many places they

haven't gone to.

Xiao PoLan used a distasteful expression to indicate that it had no

interest in touring the battleship. It only wanted to go back and

watch cartoons.

Then, it left Cheng JinXue with a high and lofty view of its back.

Cheng JinXue arrived at the main control room.

Wen XiaoYun was video chatting with someone.

Cheng JinXue said: "Boss, are you busy? I can come back la...…"

Wen XiaoYun beckoned to him: "Dear old Cheng, come over

here."

Cheng JinXue had a face full of bewilderment. Boss was a bit

strange today, actually calling him dear old Cheng!

On the battleship, Boss always separated personal life and

business very clearly and would only call him Vice-admiral Cheng!

This sudden intimacy strangely gave Cheng JinXue goosebumps.

Wen XiaoYun projected his video call onto the screen. Cheng

JinXue saw an extremely familiar person on the screen.

Cheng JinXue was shocked: “Mom! Why’s it you?!”

Mother Cheng had a full smile: “Xiao-Xue, I was just talking with

Admiral Wen about you. You silly kid. If you were so concerned

inside, why didn’t you just tell mom? Did you think mom would

stop you?”

Cheng JinXue was confused: “No wait, mom, what am I

concerned with?”

Mother Cheng gave him a reprimanding look: “Still pretending

here?! It’s not like there’s outsiders here. I’m your mom. Admiral

Wen is also one of us. What can’t you say?”

Cheng JinXue: “No mom, I mean, I really don’t know what I’m

hiding from you!”

Cheng JinXue looked towards Wen XiaoYun, wanting to gain a

hint from him.

Wen XiaoYun’s expression remained calm and composed the

entire time. He didn’t give any hints.

Mother Cheng said: “You’re still going?! I really don’t know what

you’re thinking! A few years ago, I wanted you to check out your

Uncle Zhang’s daughter, you said you were still young. Last year,

your Uncle Liao’s daughter also came to ask about you. Again,

you said you wanted to focus on work. This year, Old man Tian’s

little granddaughter was so exquisite and good looking, but you

said you needed to go to the frontlines…… Now look at what's

happened. You’re getting on in age and can’t find a good partner

right? When did you learn to drown your sorrows with wine?!

Who’s to blame here?”

Cheng JinXue: “...... No way? I drank to drown my sorrows? Me?”

Mother Cheng said angrily: “If not you, is it supposed to be me?!

Don’t think I’m clueless. Admiral Wen already told me everything.

He said you’ve been in quite a bad mood lately because you saw

one of your subordinates get married. That it made you

remember that you’re getting on in age, but still don’t have a

steady home to return to. That you were starting to worry

internally. Just tell me, who’s to blame for this? I already told you

to go check out your uncles’ daughters, but you were unwilling.

How are you not ashamed, drinking your sorrows away and

secretly crying about it. Mom already feels embarrassed for you!”

Cheng JinXue: “????”

Cheng JinXue: “No way, mom! I really didn’t drink any liquor!

When did I start worrying? I……”

Cheng JinXue turned towards Wen XiaoYun: “Boss! Is there some

kind of misunderstanding here?”

Wen XiaoYun calmly looked into Mother Cheng’s eyes and said

warmly: “Aunty, dear old Cheng has a thin face. Since he says he

didn’t, then he didn’t, I guess.”

Cheng JinXue: “???”

Boss, are you for real?!

Mother Cheng looked extremely grateful: ”Yes yes, Admiral Wen.

You’re so considerate of this kid, thinking for his sake in all

aspects.

Wen XiaoYun: “As I should.”

With Wen XiaoYun’s support, Mother Cheng became even more

confident: “Cheng JinXue! I’m telling your Uncle Zhang to send

you her daughter’s communication number to you this afternoon.

You remember to get in touch with her!”

Cheng JinXue yelled loudly: “Mom! I’m very busy! I really have

no time for marriage interviews!”

Wen XiaoYun: “Aunty, don’t worry. He has plenty of vacation

days.”

Mother Cheng’s eyes lit up: “That’s great! I’ll go ask my friends if

they have any unwed daughters in a bit. Cheng JinXue, if you

dare to act perfunctory this time, when you return, I’ll be bringing

people’s daughters directly to the 3rd Legion to come find you!”

Cheng JinXue: “.....................”

Mother Cheng acted very quickly. She immediately arranged

marriage interviews for Cheng JinXue.

Of course, Cheng JinXue rejected this. Don’t even mention adding

the personal communication numbers of girls, he even blocked all

unfamiliar messages!

Mother Cheng became furious and called over to scold Cheng

JinXue again, changing the marriage interviews to three times a

day.

Cheng JinXue really got scared and became obliged to accept the

marriage interviews.

This news spread like wildfire on battleship Wyvern. Gradually,

more and more people knew that Vice-admiral Cheng had

marriage interviews three times a day.

This news even traveled to Zhuang Zhou.

“Three interviews per day!” Zhuang Zhou gave a ‘wah’ in surprise

and asked in shock: “Interviewing that many times a day? Does

he want to get married?”

Wen XiaoYun said calmly: “Yes. He wants to get married.”

Zhuang Zhou: “Oh oh.”

His follower wanted to get married!

Looks like he needed to visit Cheng JinXue at night and blow

some air over him.

Blowing the cloud of good fortunes over him will help him fulfill

his dream quicker.

Wen XiaoYun examined Zhuang Zhou carefully. Seeing the youth

not looking hurt at all, Wen XiaoYun felt extremely relieved. He

said in a solemn voice: “We should avoid bothering him in the

future.”

Zhuang Zhou nodded seriously: “En en. That’s right. Otherwise

he won’t have any time to date.”

Wen XiaoYun smiled, a very inconspicuous smile: “Yes.”

-

Even though Zhuang Zhou said verbally that he was unwilling to

give Ge LuEn Xiao PoLan#2 and #3, he still didn’t want to delay

Wen XiaoYun’s mining work at all.

He wanted to leave this planet as soon as possible. That way he

could go to other planets, meet more people, and gain more

followers.

Therefore, under Zhuang Zhou’s urging, the mining work that had

been halted for quite awhile and unable to advance, finally began.

Before starting work, #2 and #3 needed to recognize Masters.

Zhuang Zhou was very cautious and prudent regarding picking

masters for his little robots.

Wen XiaoYun gave him a list of people from the Elite little squad:

“You can choose from this squad. All of them are pretty good.”

Of course Zhuang Zhou knew that everyone in the Elite little

squad was pretty good. They were all his followers.

However, he really didn’t know who to pick. Therefore, he had

Wen XiaoYun pick in the end.

Wen XiaoYun casually circled the squad leader Zhang Feng, and

Zhou HongYi’s names and called the two people over.

The little robots that Zhuang Zhou made needed a drop of blood

to recognize their Masters. This was the first time the two people

have seen this kind of robot. They felt it was exceptionally

wondrous, and also carried a hint of uncertainty.

“I really only need just a drop of blood to establish a psychic

connection with it and control it directly with my psychic powers?

Just that simple?”

Zhuang Zhou said full of confidence: “That’s right. After

establishing a psychic connection, as long as you are not too far

away, you can even communicate with it telepathically.”

Zhang Feng and Zhou HongYi were both shocked. Not only can

they use psychic powers to control it, they can also communicate

and converse telepathically?!

If this were used on Mechas……

The two people subconsciously looked towards Wen XiaoYun,

astonishment in the depths of their eyes.

Wen XiaoYun’s expression was nonchalant: “Just try it first.”

The two stopped hesitating. They each smeared a drop of blood

on #2 and #3’s forehead.

The next second, the energy stones embedded in #2 and #3’s

foreheads shone with a white light as they both activated at the

same time--

“Master, please grant me a name.”

Zhang Feng and Zhou HongYi both felt a new psychic force inside

their Mental World.

This was……

The two people’s eyes widened at the same time and they

became excited: “Admiral, it looks like, looks like it really works!”

Zhuang Zhou said: “You guys can try speaking to them

telepathically. They can respond to you. You can also tell them to

go down and mine in the quarry. They’re both very obedient. And

they’re not afraid of radiation. If they encounter any issues,

they’ll ask you guys as well.”

Wen XiaoYun patted Zhuang Zhou on the head. Eyes carrying a

hint of tenderness, he said softly: “Thank you for your hard work,

Zhou Zhou.”

When he raised his head to look at Zhang Feng and Zhou HongYi

again, his expression had already recovered its normal

composure: “You guys go give it a try. In regards to how Zhou

Zhou can build robots controlled by psychic powers, you guys

know what to do right?”

Zhang Feng and Zhou HongYi promptly knelt down on one knee:

“Answering you, Admiral. This subordinate understands!”

They will definitely guard this secret with their lives!

Thanking Zhuang Zhou and Wen XiaoYun, the two excitedly and

impatiently went off to explore the robots’ many functions.

Zhuang Zhou, however, felt somewhat strange: “Where’s Cheng

JinXue? I saw how much he likes Xiao PoLan. How come you

didn’t have Cheng JinXue give it a try?”

Wen XiaoYun: “Oh. Zhou Zhou, did you forget? He has no time.”

Zhuang Zhou made a noise of confusion: “No time?”

Wen XiaoYun said calmly: “That’s right. He needs to go on dates

everyday.”

Zhuang Zhou’s eyes lit up. In a rare moment, he felt somewhat

gossipy and asked: “Dates? Did he already meet a suitable

marriage candidate from his interviews?”

Wen XiaoYun said: “Three marriage interviews per day, a suitable

choice is bound to show up. Who knows, perhaps he’ll get

married tomorrow and have a kid the next day.”

Zhuang Zhou: “????”

Was it possible to be that fast?

~~~~~~~~~~

The writer has something to say: PS--

Zhuang Zhou: Can getting married and having kids be this fast?

Wen XiaoYun: Maybe other people can’t, but he definitely can. If

he can’t, I’ll make it possible for him.

Cheng JinXue: “.......”
