Chapter 139 Praise

“Oh, to receive praise from our goddess, what miracle is this? Tell me, what's happened?” Tita laughed.

“Nothing much, Tianjing is wonderful, it gives me a lot of inspiration. The birthplace of humanity is indeed different, this foundation isn't something we on the moon have.”

“Oh, so you've already changed your mind. I heard you went to Tianjing Mech Academy. That academy's level is just so-so. With so many top academies in NUP, and so many experts, why go there? What does that have to do with music?” Tita asked curiously. Actually, the news that Arthas needed inspiration to prepare a theme song for Mech Academy wasn't a secret on the moon. Many people volunteered, and these "many people" were quite influential.

“It’s different. NUP has NUP’s characteristics, but ours is too extravagant, a bit highbrow. My music and music videos need to be more down-to-earth, to seek the desires and pursuits of ordinary people, and what truly moves us about Mech Academy. That puppet is very interesting. I saw it today, did you see it?” A Youyou lay on the bed, wearing a cute set of pajamas, her little feet restlessly swinging back and forth, clearly still excited.

“Don't mention it, Feynman is almost shutting himself off. That guy is practicing so hard every day, I’m worried he won't be able to handle it,” Tita said, shaking her head helplessly.

“Oh, is he that amazing? Isn’t NUP supposed to represent the highest standard?” A Youyou asked curiously.

“That person can't be described with just 'amazing.' If he really is a USE Mech Academy student, then this year's S11 will have a formidable opponent. His melee level is very strong, an S-class. Of course, we are strong, we will definitely win, but this person is an opponent.” Tita was still full of confidence.

Mech Academy's performance depended on the opponent. She could see many details, but wouldn't be unduly humble. The reason for her attention wasn’t the technique, but the details, especially the calm and composure in harsh environments. These were valuable combat qualities.

“Wow, so amazing. If only I could find this person, I bet he has a story!” A Youyou said.

“Why are you interested in this person? Does creation have anything to do with this? Although his technique is good, we have many people stronger than him. One word from you, and I think Maxis and the others would come running,” Tita couldn’t help but laugh. Her cousin's charm was just too great.

“No, we’re not in the same field. Strength is only one aspect. I need stories. Don't you think he's special? Mysterious, powerful, and very individualistic.”

Tita couldn't help but laugh, “I don't understand what you want. The puppet's battle yesterday has already attracted the attention of experts. ROM lost face, they won't let it go so easily. He won't be able to hide this level for long. Earth is only so good at armored systems. Once he encounters a familiar opponent, he'll be recognized. You might be disappointed then."

Mystery brings anticipation and fantasy, but Tita knew that this kind of thing wouldn't last long in EMP.

“Maybe, but I think he'll keep winning,” A Youyou said, wiggling her fair little feet, her cute little toes moving restlessly.

A day full of happiness began.

This afternoon, Li Hao was going to visit the Musashi family. Li Hao bought some fruit, proper etiquette was necessary, but he was a little worried. Ma Long had said that having a girlfriend cost money. He couldn't expect her to pay for everything.

While Li Hao was worrying, he received an email on his Skylink. Not from Bleem. That thing ruined his mood, at least Li Hao really didn't want to receive it during this time, especially for no reason.

It was an official email from EMP. Given the "Puppet's" excellent performance, EMP invited the Puppet to participate in the EMP streamer program, offering two options: one, the Puppet could become a streamer himself; two, the Puppet could authorize EMP to officially stream his matches.

Li Hao wasn't interested in becoming a streamer. It seemed like he had to apply with the school, which was troublesome. The second option was acceptable. Seeing the revenue, Li Hao grinned.

The guaranteed minimum monthly revenue was ten thousand yuan, plus bonuses based on the streaming performance and gifts.

He couldn't control the bonuses, but ten thousand yuan was guaranteed, especially with an advance payment of ten thousand upon signing. What was he waiting for!

Li Hao decisively signed. Five minutes later, there was a splash, the sound of money entering his account, indescribably wonderful.

Ding-dong.

“Senior, are you free this afternoon? My thing was canceled.”

Seeing A Youyou's message, Li Hao almost jumped up with excitement, “Aiyo, I’m going to play at a classmate's house this afternoon, do you want to come?”

“It's A Youyou, not Aiyo. If it's not too much trouble, I'd be delighted.”

“Great, I’ll tell Musashi. His family is a family of ancient martial arts, very unique.”

“Then thank you.”

This matter was quickly confirmed. Musashi, of course, had no problem with it, but he was also very curious why Brother Hao would bring a girl... Bringing a few guys would be more normal.

On the other side, A Youyou was also very happy. There are policies above, and countermeasures below. Saying it was a small fan meet, but just releasing the news would be a big headline. Security, publicity, and all aspects of things were enough to keep Su Yu busy. The key was balancing a lot of social relationships. It was impossible to spare any attention to A Youyou.

Of course, bodyguards were still guarding the door.

But she underestimated A Youyou. The bodyguards changed shifts every hour, and one of the bodyguards had a habit of smoking, a bit of a chain smoker. He would sneak off to the hallway to smoke, for a maximum of one or two minutes, but that was enough for A Youyou to sneak out. If it was a special period, the other party would hold it in, but under the current circumstances, there was nothing wrong, so he definitely couldn't resist.

And A Youyou took advantage of this opportunity to slip away.

Walking out of the hotel lobby, it felt like a bird out of a cage, completely free, even the air tasted sweet.

Similarly, wealthy Li Hao felt like his back was especially straight today. He could afford to take A Youyou on the city rail.

However, Li Hao lost this opportunity. The Musashi family had already sent a driver to wait for them at the school gate.

Although Musashi wasn't as flamboyant as Ma Long, if you really calculated it, Musashi was a bonafide rich second generation, with generations of inheritance, but he wasn't interested in any of that.

Zuo Xiaotang's family was also middle class. He usually saved a lot, but all his money was used to buy merchandise and figurines. Li Hao's heart ached seeing them, so expensive. Of course, Li Hao also had his own confidence. He would definitely get rich. After all, poverty doesn't last three generations, it was his turn.

Sitting in the car, A Youyou also breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of being taken back halfway, “Senior, will it be too abrupt for me to go like this?”

“No, Musashi is very hospitable. Besides, we're friends, right…” Li Hao was slightly unsure.

“Of course,” A Youyou smiled happily, her heart-shaped lips were truly beautiful.

Li Hao calmed down. He wondered if he was bewitched. Analyzing it completely calmly and objectively, A Youyou couldn't be considered a great beauty, but why did she seem so beautiful? Was he just horny?

Ahem, probably not. How could something spiritual be considered horniness?!

With a private car, the two chatted all the way. After all, he was a seasoned worker, riding his little electric scooter through the streets and alleys. Tianjing, whether it was the noble district or the slum, he was familiar with it.

The car left the city and drove for more than half an hour to reach its destination, a quiet manor. The surrounding vegetation was lush, surrounded by green water. It really was a good place, even more spectacular than imagined.

The gate opened, and the car drove inside for another ten minutes. What came into view was an antique mansion. Musashi was already waiting at the door, and was quite happy to see Li Hao and A Youyou.

“Damn, Musashi, your house is so luxurious? Come, let me introduce you. This is my friend, also our junior, A Youyou. Musashi, my brother.”

“What luxury, it was passed down from my ancestors. My grandfather likes peace and quiet. I don’t usually live here. Welcome, please come in.” Clearly, Musashi rarely had friends visit here. This was his first time.

The furnishings in the spacious hall were antique and classic Chinese. If they were genuine, they would be antiques. Even Li Hao, who didn't know much about this, could see a sense of imposing grandeur. The layout was very particular.

A Youyou was also very interested, “Such furniture and decorations are rare. They are probably a hundred years old, right?”

“I don’t really know much about it. There shouldn’t be anything that’s only a hundred years old. They are all thousands of years old,” Musashi said.

The housekeeper served tea to the three of them. Musashi was a little embarrassed, “Brother Hao, my grandfather wants to see you this time. If he asks too much, don't mind it too much, just refuse.”

“Ah, what's going on?” Li Hao was stunned.

“I mentioned to my grandfather about losing to you, and he insisted on seeing you.” Musashi was a little embarrassed.

“Tch, what do you mean losing? It was just sparring. You were afraid of hurting me and didn’t use your full strength. There’s nothing to talk about.” Li Hao chuckled.

“Little friend, excessive modesty is pride.” At this time, an elderly man with snow-white hair but a hale and ruddy complexion came out, looking Li Hao up and down, his eyes full of scrutiny. He paused slightly when he saw A Youyou, but didn't pay too much attention to her.

“My name is Wu Xun. Although this kid Musashi isn’t that capable, he won’t exaggerate. To be able to beat him, your skills must be very unique. This old man doesn’t have any other hobbies, just likes interacting with young people. How about this, I won’t beat around the bush. Play a couple of rounds with this old man, let’s spar?” Wu Xun said.

“Grandfather, I just had friends arrive, you…” But seeing Wu Xun’s glare, Musashi didn’t dare to speak. He could only give Li Hao a look.

Li Hao looked at Wu Xun. The other party was old, but he exuded vibrant vitality and energy. Gene technology for some families who had mastered the power of ancient martial arts was like a key to opening a mysterious door. They had indeed gained better methods of using their power, complementing each other.

Li Hao had only heard about it, but he was quite interested.

“Please give me your guidance, senior.”

“Good, I like straightforward young people. Change your clothes, I'll be waiting for you in the dojo.”

A Youyou on the side was also very happy, “Senior, be careful later, don’t hurt the old man.”

(Thanks to the sharp reviews of brothers “大酒神101” and “魔尊琉星”, who directly summarized the emotions of the Storm trilogy, being firmly grasped ^_^

This part is a bit different, the characters who appear all have some hidden purposes and backgrounds. Of course, it doesn’t involve abuse, just trying to make humanity more realistic and complete.

As for the big brother who wanted all the female characters to disappear… all day mechs rolling around, it will be bent, whether it’s combat-oriented, or emotion-oriented, or opponent-oriented, this part has a different transformation from the previous ones. Of course, whether you like it or not, it has to be tasted by all the bosses.)
