CH 169

An Yan didn’t know what happened on the virtual net after he fell asleep. As far as he was concerned, his sleep was sweet, and everything went on as usual when he woke up. Even his life did not change in the following days.

But in places he didn’t know, many people were busy because of him.

Some were busy cleaning up their mess.

When closing that post, the young man could not have imagined that the post would take such a dramatic turn for the worse in just a few minutes.

Didn’t all those people already believe that An Yan would participate in this auction? Even his fans thought so too!

How could things turn out like this in the blink of an eye?

Not only was their plan foiled, but several people had reported it, and it had attracted the attention of the virtual net. Although they had not been investigated yet, the accounts that had spoken in the post were under investigation.

I thought I had a win on my hands, but I was hit at a crucial moment. This gap in strength was so uncomfortable!

The young man was so upset, but he didn’t dare show it, because there were people who were more upset than him.

"What an outrage!" The older man, who was not far away, slapped the table hard. With a wave of his hand, he swept all the things on the table to the floor.

The younger man was taken aback, but did not dare make a squeak. He could only lower his head even more desperately, trying to reduce his presence.

The teacher was already terrifying at normal times. He was now angry and might find an excuse to take it out on him.

Sure enough, even though he had tried to reduce his presence, he was a target for the older man: "What are you still doing standing there like a dead man? Why don’t you go and take care of this? Do you want me to show you how to do it yourself? "

The young man’s heart was full of resentment, but his mouth was full of hesitation, "But....... if I contact that person now, won’t it arouse suspicion?"

"Then get the hell out of here and stay out of my way!" The older man gave the table another hard slap.

The younger man scowled and backed out through clenched teeth.

Others were busy investigating the matter, or should I say, Cheng Yi’s investigation never stopped.

Although this post might be the same as the previous one of the sunspot incident, those who surfaced were only minor and insignificant players, but it was always good to have one more clue.

In this way, amidst everyone’s business and An Yan’s quiet life, time soon slipped to the day before the finals.

The finals of the Academy Mecha Competition were due to take place the next day, and An Yan should have been at the training ground with Cheng Yi making final preparations for the competition.  But on this day, he sneaked out alone.

He went out at this time because of a call he had received in the morning.

This call was from Ren Bo, and he talked with excitement the moment the call connected: "An Yan, your customized beast-type mecha has been assembled. Do you want to come over and we finish the testing together? "

Faced with such a tempting invitation, An Yan said yes without hesitation.

He made an excuse that seemed reasonable to him but was actually very poorly thought out, and he sneaked out alone.

It was also fortunate that Cheng Yi didn’t know everything, otherwise it would have been difficult to let himself be fooled.

But Yan Yan insisted on going out on such a crucial day before the finals. Could it be that.…

Thinking of the possibility, Cheng Yi’s eyes could not help but flash with strong anticipation.

An Yan quickly arrived at Ren Bo’s home and then found him in the workshop.

"Mr. Ren……" An Yan was about to say something when he was pulled to the massive testing equipment. 

Ren Bo was staring at the testing instrument with a nervous look on his face. His eyes were glowing: "Don’t say anything yet, the final test results will be out soon! One minute to go! This is the last minute! "

An Yan obediently shut his mouth and stared at the testing equipment with the same nervousness.

Although he knew very little about mecha manufacturing, his nervousness was the same.

A minute was a short time, but it was stretched out countless times because of the two people’s tension.

When the testing equipment finally gave a "ding", An Yan felt as if his heart had stopped beating for a second.

Ren Bo, who was impatient before, seemed hesitant. He stretched out his hand and then retracted it. He turned to An Yan and said, "This is your mecha anyway, so you should be the one checking the results."

An Yan was also nervous, but he still took out the test results under Ren Bo’s gaze. After looking through them twice, he handed the results back to Ren Bo: "I can’t understand it."

There was a whole page of data, densely packed with words and numbers, as well as some abstract images. He couldn’t understand any of it.

Ren Bo took the test results with a dignified expression, lowering his head and looking at them carefully for several minutes.

An Yan saw his frown and pursed lips, and his heart once again tensed up along with him.

Just as he was nervously holding his breath, preparing for the worst and ready to accept some cruel truth, he heard Ren Bo suddenly burst into loud laughter, "It’s successful! It’s really successful! hahaha! "

Although Ren Bo had put a lot of effort into this beast-shaped mecha and had been confident and optimistic during the process, he was not completely worry-free in his heart.

Although Ren Bo had done his best to make a comprehensive plan for the mecha to the best of his ability and had been very careful in every step of the process, he didn’t have experience in making a beast-shaped mech. So he had no idea whether it would meet his expectations after it was finished.

He was so nervous at this point in time because he had very high expectations for the mecha.

An Yan was also very nervous. Although he would not blame anyone even if the manufacture of this mecha ultimately failed, it would still be a great disappointment.

Although his role was actually very small, this was a unique gift that he had prepared for Cheng Yi, and it was also linked to the ring. He naturally wanted it to succeed. 

So, on hearing Ren Bo’s words, An Yan, who was subconsciously holding his breath, immediately let out a sigh and asked hurriedly, "Did it work? It was successful? "

Ren Bo laughed again before turning and giving An Yan a twist: "Not yet. It just seems to be fine in theory, but the success of the mecha will ultimately depend on the practical tests."

An Yan: "…" So what was the reason you were acting so happy just now?

Ren Bo ignored An Yan’s incoherent expression. He looked at the test results in his hand and sighed, "If we look at the theoretical test results alone, there should be nothing wrong with this mecha. But the problem is, you need a mecha warrior with superb piloting skills in order to conduct this test. I can contact many mecha warriors, but I know you would not agree to let them pilot this mecha, right? "

Ren Bo was right. An Yan, indeed, was unable to accept anyone else to pilot this mecha. It might be a bit petty to think so, but he preferred Cheng Yi to be the first and only person to pilot the mecha.

Excluding these selfish motives, Cheng Yi was the most suitable person for this mecha. Only he could conduct the practical tests and have the best test results achieved.

However, there was another problem: this beast-shaped mecha was prepared for Cheng Yi when he transformed. An Yan had only allowed Ren Bo to set the cockpit to a freely deformable state in order to cover up this matter.

The freely deformable cockpit meant that it could switch freely with the form of the pilot.

For example, when Cheng Yi uses the mecha in human form, the cockpit would take this form as the starting point and slowly fit with it.

When Cheng Yi uses the mecha in his white tiger form, the cockpit will also take the white tiger’s form as the starting point and eventually fit to the right level. In the process, the movements of the white tiger will also be synchronized with those of the mecha at the same time.

This would facilitate the spiritual connection between the mecha and the pilot, and also better replicate the actions of the White Tiger on the giant mecha.

In other words, what An Yan ultimately wanted to achieve was for Cheng Yi to be able fight to his heart’s content in the form of a white tiger, and the entire battle would be fought with the white tiger’s consciousness.

The only difference was that if Cheng Yi were to launch a direct attack, his combat effectiveness would be far inferior to that of the White Tiger mecha made of various high-strength metals.

"First think about it. Just let me know if you need me to help contact a mecha warrior for the test, " Ren Bo patted An Yan’s shoulder. "By the way, do you need my help in storing the mecha?"

An Yan snapped out of his contemplation and realized a problem. Since the moment he walked in, the mecha had been in the testing instruments. He hadn’t seen the complete appearance of the mecha up to now!

"I’ll do it myself!" An Yan immediately replied, "Can you help me open the instrument ?"

In order to conduct a more accurate inspection, the mecha was completely encased in the instrument, and the instrument had to be completely sealed during the inspection process.

Ren Bo pressed a button and the instrument silently slid open to the sides, allowing An Yan to finally see the full form of the White Tiger mecha.
