"..... anonymous mode?" An Yan looked at Cheng Yang with a dumbfounded expression.

Although he had been on the virtual network before, mostly researching information, he had never posted on the discussion forums, so he had no idea that his account could be set to anonymous mode.

Cheng Yang didn't have time to explain too much to him, and hurriedly urged him, "Go to the virtual network and delete what you just posted, otherwise they will all know who you are."

"Oh-oh." An Yan, who hadn't fully understood the situation, dutifully went to the virtual network, found the content he had just posted, and chose to delete it.

An Yan asked anxiously, "Is that all right?"

"I'll go to the virtual network and check the situation," Cheng Yang wandered around the virtual network, his expression becoming more and more serious as time passed, "It seems like ..... it's already too late."

Although the time interval from when An Yan spoke to when he deleted the content was not long, the popularity of that post was really too high. In addition, An Yan went there with screenshots. It immediately drew a lot of people's attention as soon as he spoke.

So not only was there a lot more discussion about An Yan's identity in that thread, but there was also a separate thread dedicated to the issue.

#Shock! The mysterious boss of the pharmaceutical industry is actually a young genius who has just come of age. #Shock!

The post had just been put up for less than five minutes and already had hundreds of floors covered.

5L: Holy crap! I just clicked in to see that the big boss isn't really a hundred and eighty, but eighteen!

10L: That's horrible! Are all the kids nowadays so powerful! Changing the entire pharmacy industry, and indeed the entire human race, with their own power?

15L: Looking at this 18-year-old and then at myself at 38, I suddenly feel like I have lived all these years in vain.

20L: Don't say anything. The big boss and I are the right age for each other. From now on, the big boss will be my husband!

25L: Get lost upstairs! The big boss is obviously everyone's, not yours!

30L: Did anyone notice? Big Boss just deleted that floor......

35L: I thought about it. The situation was probably like this.

The big boss went to the virtual web to reply to the post for his friend. Then, he realized that he hadn't even turned on the anonymous mode after a reminder from his friends, so he immediately deleted what he had posted. However, it was too late because everyone had seen the big boss’s personal home page.

40L: There is no difference between seeing it and not seeing it. Other than the name, gender, and age of the big boss, there was nothing else on it.

45L: I would also like to say that when I clicked on Big Boss's personal page, I thought that I would see a screen full of HD pictures, but I only found a blank space.

50L: Of course, big bosses are not like ordinary people; otherwise, they would not be big bosses.

55L: Considering the age of the big boss and imagining the big boss fumbling to delete his own post, I find it so cute.

60L: No, if he's a big boss, how could he be flustered? I think he was expressionless, frowning a little and clicking on the delete option. By the way, letting out an impatient, "Annoying!"

65L: It seems even more adorable when you think about it like that.

............

Although the post had become more and more crooked later on, almost to the edge of the sky, the matter of the potions "big boss" turning out to be eighteen was still being spread more and more widely, almost to the point where it became common knowledge.

An Yan didn't pay too much attention to those posts on the virtual internet.knowledge. He listened to Cheng Yang's words and couldn't help but worry, "So what should we do now?"

Cheng Yang shook his head and blamed himself. "Hey, it's all my fault.  If I hadn't gotten vain in the moment and thought of running to the virtual internet to show off a bit, this wouldn't have happened."

An Yan hurriedly reassured him, "It's not your problem. You have asked me not to do that, but I still ...... so it's my fault. "

Cheng Yang: "It's not, it's that I shouldn't think about showing off."

An Yan: "No, it's me who ran off to reply without discussing it with you."

......

Just as the two of them were trying desperately to take the blame on themselves, a soft voice suddenly came from beside them, "An Yan, is that you?"

The two of them were taken aback and turned their heads to look over at the same time. There were many people standing behind them at some point, all of them looking at An Yan with the same complicated gaze.

"What did you...... what did you just say?" An Yan tensed up subconsciously.

The student looked at An Yan and then at Cheng Yang. After a moment, he had a sudden realization, "So Cheng Yang is that big boss' friend!"

An Yan & Cheng Yang: "......"

Without waiting for the two to admit this, everyone had already gathered around in a frenzy. All were expressing their opinions with one word or another.

"An Yan is obviously about the same age as us, but to come up with such an awesome concept is really impressive!"

An Yan, will you tell us in detail about the content of the paper? Although some of it was mentioned in that post, it's definitely incomplete."

“Such an awesome new idea. How on earth did you come up with it? It's really so, so amazing! "

"So that's how you made the high quality potions in the practical class before? It's really awesome!"

"Cheng Yang, you're simply too funny to run to the post to show off. If it wasn't for An Yan helping you put up screenshots, you would have been scolded badly. " 

"But why didn't you remind An Yan to turn on his anonymous mode?"

"I suddenly feel pretty good about myself for being able to take classes with such an awesome person."

…....... 

An Yan and Cheng Yang looked at each other as they listened to the constant chatter around them and let out a long sigh at the same time.

Now that the vest had fallen off, it would be difficult to put it back on, especially with the situation in the practice class to back it up.

Considering this, An Yan simply admitted it outright, "The author of that paper was indeed me, but I also discovered this new idea by chance, so it doesn't really count for anything."

In response to An Yan's modest attitude, everyone praised him again, so much so that he didn't even know what expression to put on his face.

Finally, class was over. As soon as An Yan walked out of the classroom, he was stopped by a stranger who asked, "Are you An Yan?"

An Yan took a look at the other party and searched his memory carefully to make sure that neither he nor the original owner should have seen this person before. He couldn't help but wonder, "I am An Yan. May I ask who you are?"

The other party bowed politely and introduced himself, "My name is Chen Lian. I am a third-year student in the mecha major. I would like to invite you to team up with me and participate in this year's academy mecha competition together. Is that alright? "

An Yan was a bit confused. He had never met this senior before, let alone know him, so why would he invite him to participate in the Academy Mecha Competition together?

Cheng Yang, who was standing beside An Yan, quickly sorted out his thoughts. This person probably saw that popular post on the virtual internet before and discovered Yan Yan's identity, so he suddenly came to invite him to join the team.

Having figured this out, Cheng Yang was about to stand out and expose him when he heard a cold voice coming from the side, "I'm afraid that's not possible."

Cheng Yang turned around and found that it was his big boss who had arrived.

An Yan also saw Cheng Yi and couldn't help but raise a smile on his face, "Senior, you're here."

Cheng Yi’s face, which had been cold a moment ago and had the words "Do not approach" written all over his body, instantly melted and became gentle at An Yan’s smile: "Yan Yan."

He approached the front and unceremoniously squeezed his brother to the side, hogging the position next to An Yan.

Cheng Yang: ".... "Why am I always the one who gets hurt_(:з"∠)_.

Chen Lian and Cheng Yang were both third year Mecha students. Even if they were not familiar with each other, they had met each other at ordinary times. Chen Lian could not help but be wary. "Cheng Yi, why are you here?"

It couldn't be that he had the same intention and wanted to team up with An Yan?

No one in the mecha profession knew how strong Cheng Yi was as an individual, and his presence also created a strong sense of crisis in Chen Lian.

Cheng Yi didn't answer immediately.  He possessively reached out and wrapped his hand around the little one's shoulders before looking at Chen Lian with an icy gaze. "Yan Yan is my friend and partner. We agreed to participate in the Academy Mecha Competition together."

These words made Chen Lian frown and look at An Yan pleadingly, "Is that so, An Yan?"

An Yan nodded. He had indeed agreed to team up with Cheng Yi earlier.

Chen Lian's frown deepened, but he didn't want to give up. "So have you guys signed up yet?"

An Yan shook his head very honestly, "Not yet."

Although the registration for the competition had already started, he had been busy with other things and hadn't yet got time to sign up.

Chen Lian immediately saw hope and his eyes lit up, "As long as you haven't signed up yet, you're not considered an official partner for the competition, and you can still consider changing partners."

An Yan felt that this person was a bit confused. Even if he hadn't signed up, he had already made a deal with Cheng Yi, so there was no way he could change partners.

He seriously stated, "I won't change partners."

Chen Lian, however, was not discouraged and continued to persuade, "It's a normal thing to change partners before you sign up, so you don't need to feel any psychological pressure or feel sorry for anyone. I can assure you that if you're willing to partner me, all the prize money after you get the title will be yours. I just want the signing rights. "

The appeal of a million star coins in cash was indeed great, but it was the top-tier signing rights to those five well-known mecha arenas that were more valuable to the mecha majors.

Moreover, all of these were based on the premise that they could win the championship. If they couldn't get the championship, these questions would be meaningless.

An Yan felt even more strange about this person. He was about to refuse again, but Cheng Yi spoke up at that moment.

"You're giving too little." Cheng Yi said coldly.

Chen Lian looked at Cheng Yi with some amusement, "The signing right is useless to a pharmacy student, and I gave him everything except the signing right, so is this still too little?"

Cheng Yi repeated, "It's too little."

This time, Chen Lian was outright exasperated, "Then tell me, what can you give to An Yan if he teams up with you?"

Cheng Yi slightly lowered his head to look at An Yan, then lightly opened his thin lips and said, "I can give him everything I have."
