BATCFO Chapter 62

Yun Xingze put in his mecha data and the data from the player on St. Klito’s side most likely to play in the individual competition into the prediction software. The final result did not exceed 40%.

If other uncertain factors, such as St. Klito’s competitive spirit or insidious tactics, were added, his winning rate might be even lower.

This is enough to prove that each player at St. Klito is very strong.

These days, Yun Xingze has constantly been training while trying to think up solution.

He’s come up with many plans. While he can’t confirm the for the time being, he noticed his mental strength and physical strength have improved very quickly recently.

Even Luo Wenchuan was surprised by the increase in speed.

Three days later, Richard tested the team members’ mental power as usual. When the progress bar of Yun Xingze’s A-level mental power reached 59%, Luo Wenchuan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

During the last test at the school, Yun Xingze’s mental power had just reached level A, and the progress bar was basically empty.

And now it has reached more than halfway past level A?

“What did you eat growing up?” Richard stared at him and forgot to record the data for a while. “It can’t be that Noah’s star water and soil are especially suitable for you? This speed is too scary.”

On the side, Oriel was about to cry. His mental power was A-level in high school. It took more than a year for him to reach 85% on the level A progress bar, but Yun Xingze caught up with him so casually.

Is this really the omega’s mental strength?

“If it goes on like this, maybe he can reach S rank before the finals.” Ashley said thoughtfully. “If it comes true, Xingze can become an ace card.”

Richard nodded and agreed with her statement. “No one could have imagined that an A-level omega could rise above S in such a short period of time.”

During the subsequent physical fitness test, Yun Xingze’s physical strength also rose to A-level.

This is a major breakthrough, and it is worth his hard training during this period of time.

After the training, Luo Wenchuan said to Yun Xingze: “It seems that last half month of devil training is very effective.”

“I’m not surprised that my fitness has risen.” Yun Xingze took out the towel and stretched out his hand. He wiped the sweat off Luo Wenchuan’s forehead casually. “After all, you’ve been urging me to practice, and you even helped me plan my three meals…”

Having said this, Yun Xingze raised his lips and peered at Luo Wenchuan’ long and narrow eyes. “Thank you.”

When the towel in Yun Xingze’s hand touched Luo Wenchuan’s forehead, Luo Wenchuan couldn’t help swallowing. Immediately, he said calmly, “No need for thanks. I just want to make you a bit fatter.”

Startled, Yun Xingze’s fingers loosened, and the white towel almost fell to the ground.

Luo Wenchuan seemed to sense the fluctuations in his heart. Grabbing his wrist without a trace, he paused for a moment, slowly moved up, and took the towel.

“I can’t let people feel that I treat my mecha master harshly.” Luo Wenchuan said with a half-smile while wiping away his sweat.

“You’re a good boss.” Yun Xingze gave his own feeder a thumbs up.

After a while, Yun Xingze remembered something, and said with some confusion: “However, I find it strange that my mental power rose so much all of a sudden.”

Luo Wenchuan wiped his sweat, then frowned. “Indeed, there has never been a player in history who could raise their mental power from A to S during a competition… Could it be a result of accumulation that suddenly through a bottleneck?”

“It’s possible.” Yun Xingze said after pondering for a while.

Having said that, Yun Xingze felt that the growth of his mental power was not even this fast a few days ago though…

Was it an illusion?

“By the way, have you figured out how to deal with St. Klito?” Luo Wenchuan asked.

Yun Xingze nodded. “I want to modify the mechanical beast this time. Some of its parts have not been updated for a long time, and I think… it can play a greater role.”

Every time Luo Wenchuan hears Yun Xingze wants to modify mecha, he will feel an inexplicable sense of anticipation. He really wants to know what kind of genius he will come up with next.

“However, I still lack some materials.” Yun Xingze scratched his head. “I don’t know if there is a place to purchase them nearby.”

Luo Wenchuan said without hesitation, “Why don’t I accompany you to the market tonight? There’s a garden party[mfn]游园会 translated is garden party, but the event is more like a fair. I’ll use both terms. [/mfn] in Noah City these days, and a lot of rare mecha goods will be sold there.”

“Really?” Yun Xingze looked at him in surprise. “Senior, how do you know Noah Star so well? ”

“I came here a few times during previous bounty missions.” Luo Wenchuan replied casually. “Then it’s agreed, let’s leave at seven o’clock this evening.”

Yun Xingze readily agreed and went back to his room to change clothes.

The Noah City Fair is held twice a year. Each fair lasts a long time.

People can experience local customs, and also buy many special products at very affordable prices during the fair.

Luo Wenchuan went to Yun Xingze’s door and waited for him to come out. The moment the door opened, his eyes froze slightly.

Yun Xingze usually wears simple clothes, mostly school uniforms, training clothes, and loose clothes that cover up part of his figure and temperament.

Now, he is wearing a clean-colored casual shirt. After dressing up a little, his entire person radiates a sunny youthful feeling.

And this period of training transformed his figure. From thin and white originally, to more muscular lines and being a little more heroic.

“What’s the matter?” Yun Xingze looked at Luo Wenchuan and asked. “Are my clothes too simple? Will the garden party let me in?”

“…Yes.” Luo Wenchuan’s throat rolled and he looked away. “Let’s go.”

The party is held in the bustling streets of Noah City’s city center.

Under the air flight track extending in all directions, the fair maintained an ancient feeling. Various shops filled both sides of the long streets. Most shops were decorated in gold and bronze, symbolizing the sunshine and land of Noah Star.

Various streamers and glowing balloons fluttered above the shops, complementing the lights at night.

Although the party looks very simple, it actually hides many mysteries. Many robots wore human clothes welcoming tourists in a polite and orderly manner, with smiles full of enthusiasm on their faces.

Luo Wenchuan walked to the gate of the garden party.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a vaguely familiar voice behind him.

Luo Wenchuan paused, only to realize that Yun Xingze who beside him was gone.

He was startled.

Looking back, he didn’t see Yun Xingze’s figure.

Luo Wenchuan thought that Yun Xingze was lost. When he was about to look for him, he suddenly saw a figure blocked at the gates.

Yun Xingze was blocked by two robots in front of the gates. Waving at Luo Wenchuan, he helplessly explained: “Senior Dachuan, wait a moment, I was stopped.”

Luo Wenchuan walked over to the gates in confusion and asked the robot: “Why aren’t you letting him in?”

“Sorry, there are some restricted-level performances at night,” the robot said with a smile. “Minors can’t enter at night.”

Luo Wenchuan was stunned.

He looked at Yun Xingze. The youth looked fair and cute, and after changing into youthful casual clothes, even the robot regarded him as a minor.

The next second, Luo Wenchuan coughed and almost laughed.

“You’re still laughing?” Yun Xingze’s eyes widened. “Senior Dachuan, then I won’t accompany you in…”

“Show it your identity information.” Luo Wenchuan pursed his lips, holding back a smile. “After being considered a minor, did your IQ also degenerate?”

Yun Xingze turned on his optical brain, entered his identity information into the wireless interface of the robot, and whispered: “It takes time to verify my identity. I was afraid you would go far away, which is why I called you…”

Luo Wenchuan was taken aback at the words.

After a while, the robot successfully verified his identity, it put its hands together, and apologized to Yun Xingze. “Sorry, there was a misunderstanding before. You can enter now. I hope the two of you can experience the charm of Noah Star during the garden party.”

Finally Yun Xingze was able to enter the garden party with Luo Wenchuan.

The robot watched the backs of the two and smiled until they disappeared into the crowd.

The next second, it raised his wrist, used the intercom function on his arm, and said softly, “The target data has been confirmed. They have now entered the garden party…”

This time, Luo Wenchuan seemed to be afraid that Yun Xingze would get lost again, and firmly followed by his side.

“I feel that the robots here are so backward,” Yun Xingze whispered. “They can even make mistakes when detecting age, and require use of a wireless interface to input information… Are you not afraid of being poisoned?”[mfn]I’m guessing it’s referring to hacking? The raws say “drugged” or “poisoned”[/mfn]

“It means you are young.” Luo Wenchuan joked. “Are you unhappy?”

Yun Xingze pouted. “I’m not happy, but you seem to be quite happy.”

There were many people in the garden party. Many of them came to shop, carrying all kinds of goods. Even small shopping bags were hand-carried, making it easy to see how cheap the things here are.

“I don’t have much money on my card,” Yun Xingze said while looking for a booth selling mecha accessories on the map. “I guess I can’t buy too many things…”

He was planning to make the most cost-effective plan.

“Really?” Luo Wenchuan walked beside Yun Xingze, and then opened his optical brain.

The next second, a sum of money hit Yun Xingze’s account.

Yun Xingze saw a notification popping up on the screen, showing that he had received a transfer of 600,000 star coins.

“It’s almost a month since you became my mecha master.” Luo Wenchuan said casually. “This money is your salary.”

Yun Xingze was slightly startled, and said in surprise: “But it’s not a month…?”

“Then it should be paid in advance.” Luo Wenchuan looked at the pedestrians carrying large and small bags around, and calmly said to Yun Xingze, “You can buy whatever you want.”

Yun Xingze said quickly, “Thank you, Senior Dachuan. However, you don’t actually need to give me an advance on my salary. I’m not buying many materials, and should have enough with some budgeting…”

“Then buy something else.” Luo Wenchuan retracted his gaze, and raised his lips. “For example, your favorite fruit.”

“Senior, you are really a male buddha.” Yun Xingze said to him with hands clasped together. “No, to be precise, you are my God of Wealth.”

Compared with the title “male buddha”, Luo Wenchuan wanted another identity.

“You are so good to me, I’m even a bit embarrassed. After all, I haven’t done many modifications for you,” Yun Xingze scratched his head. “Also, at the beginning, it was 300,000 yuan a month. Although there are bonuses, but doubling it directly…”

Luo Wenchuan raised his eyebrows: “Do you think it’s too little?”

“No no no, it’s too much. I’m under psychological pressure.” Yun Xingze said hurriedly.

He should have thought that, in Luo Wenchuan’s style, the bonus may be more than the salary.

“Don’t feel pressure.” Luo Wenchuan said slowly. “I just saw that everyone was shopping, and hoped you can buy more and return satisfied.”

Only then did Yun Xingze understand that Luo Wenchuan gave him this money paid in advance because he was afraid that he would feel a gap when compared to those people who kept buying and buying.

It gave Yun Xingze an illusion of “you have to have what others have”.

While Yun Xingze was stunned on the side, Luo Wenchuan walked in front of him.

There seemed to be a group of people playing games in front of them. The flow of people around became so large that they almost swept away.

The next second, a wide palm firmly grasped Yun Xingze’s wrist.

Yun Xingze was slightly startled, and the moment he raised his head, he almost bumped into Luo Wenchuan’s tall back.

He raised his head slightly and could only see the back of Luo Wenchuan’s head.

Luo Wenchuan obviously did not look back.

But he grabbed his hand directly.

Turning his face sideways, Luo Wenchuan’s eyelashes cast shadows on the bridge of his nose.

“Don’t get lost.” His lips curled up slightly, and then he said teasingly, “Minor.”
