Chapter 34: CH 34

Chapter 34

This news was even more shocking than when the school announced the school rules would be tightened and ordered the students to stay on the school campus.

“It’s true, you heard it right.” Shi Nian got on the flying machine and looked downwards, “You should know that place better than me. Remember to send it over.”

Yan Huaxin was simply dumbfounded. What is going on here? He didn’t remember such a relative in his family, and definitely not in his little aunt’s family. Counting five generations back, there were no relatives with the surname Shi. He couldn’t resist calling Shi Nian while he was on the flight.

“What the hell is going on? Are you related to me?”

“No,” Shi Nian said.

Yan Huaxin: “Then what’s your situation?”

“There are two answers to this question, one true and one false. Which one do you want to hear?” He was chatting with him while eating a handful of melon seeds, as he didn’t have to fly the craft manually.

Yan Huaxin said, “Tell me both!”

“The lie is that I’m too cute and people love me, so your little aunt had to take me home to take care of me as soon as she saw me.”

Shi Nian added, “The truth is a bit more frightening. The place where her son and I lived yesterday was broken into, so your little aunt got angry and took us both back together.”

“Someone broke into your house?” Yan Huaxin’s first reaction was, “Are you all right?”

Shi Nian: “If you are asking about the two intruders, they’re still alive.”

Yan Huaxin: “…..”

“I’m asking about you. Forget it. You look fine, my cousin, needless to ask, who could even do something to him? “

He remembered that yesterday, it seemed Lu Bo Ting had also asked this question. He thought he was asking about the sentinel. After all, when he first arrived at the Sword Sect, he was strong and his strikes were always indifferent. Whenever he got into a fight, he would be asked, “Is the other person okay?”

It had become a habit.

And it never crossed his mind that something would happen to him, so the inquiries should be about the other party!

But, in retrospect, he was certainly not as domineering and invincible in Lu Bo Ting’s mind as he was in the minds of that group from the Sword Sect. So could it be that he was concerned about him yesterday?

Shi Nian just hung up the communication link and muttered away.

Over there, Yan Huaxin only realised after he hung up that he hadn’t asked him what his relationship with their family was, or with….Wait, he was living with his cousin earlier? His cousin would actually live with someone else?

The first thing that came to mind was to contact his older brother and ask, “Big brother, send me a copy of the refrigerator photo you sent to Aunt, the one from cousin’s house!”

The other side did not ask his brother what he wanted this for, as he sent it over directly.

Yan Huaxin looked at it and laughed.

Although he really didn’t know that marshal cousin well, and he hadn’t seen him more than a few times a year! But he could understand the character. He would not like to eat sweets. He would not even touch ice cream. For the refrigerator to look like this….

Sure enough, they lived together. These are the things that Shi Nian likes to eat.

At this time, Shi Nian sent a sentence: “It is inconvenient to tell you specifically why, but we are absolutely innocent.”

“Also, this matter is no longer a secret, but… don’t spread the word!“

After all, everyone who was involved in that mess yesterday now knows about him. Not to mention the fact that he was still living in the Marshal’s residence.

Yan Huaxin nodded. He was not someone who didn’t know what was crucial. It was just that the matter was so strange that when he saw Shi Nian the next day, his expression was still a little dumbfounded.

His purpose for going home was treatment. His illness was a childhood problem, something to do with his genes.  Not to say that it wasn’t serious, but if he goes to therapy regularly every night, he’s not that different from a normal person. He could run as much as the other guides in his physical fitness class. However, when he is resting, he needs a lot of space, and he needs quiet and silence. But the severity was no joke. After all, no amount of treatment could cure him and they could only maintain his current fitness.

For his sake, the family even began to invest in the medical industry, something they had never tried before. But apparently, the time was too short, plus the fact that they had just ventured out, so no results were seen yet.

On the other hand, Shi Nian cheerfully jumped out of his flying machine and just stood there waiting for his game pod to be delivered.

This side of the Marshal’s residence was not like the place where he lived earlier. The people living in this area are all high-ranking officials of the empire. The marshals and councilors, as well as some princes and princesses, or whatever, were present, so the place was very strict about access.

One had to deliver it to the gate and be picked up by the host for these types of deliveries.

He brought the delivery man in, went up to the first floor,, and watched him set up the game pod. Then he escorted him all the way back again.

He didn’t think it was a big deal, yet the few human guards couldn’t help but whisper.

“Who do you think he is at Marshal Lu’s house anyway?”

“He just stayed in yesterday and today he dared to bring someone to the door. Even though it is about installing something, what if that person is unsettled? “

“He looks young and does not understand. If the marshal’s house happens to be in some kind of trouble tomorrow or missing something, he will be in big trouble. “

Shi Nian certainly did not hear this, and even if he did, he would only snicker.

Not to mention that the person who delivered the things was from Yan Huaxin’s side. Knowing that he was going to deliver things here, Yan Huaxin would choose someone who was safer.

As usual, Lu Bo Ting came back late and found Shi Nian had already eaten and was playing a game.

The new game was really something else. As soon as you enter, you will feel the difference. The most obvious difference between this and the previous mecha game was that this was realistic. To take the simplest example, it’s like that ancient-style game and the real ancient martial arts world: One side is actually very easy. One just needs to perform a simple action, and it will automatically make a move. On the other hand, everything is real and not a game.

As soon as he got his hands on it, Shi Nian understood the complexity of real mechas. It was no wonder that people who had played real mechs couldn’t take a second look at that game, and that’s why Ji Yiqing and his friends were arrogant all day long.

It took a lot of time for Shi Nian to get familiar with the real mecha. He also read up on the game’s requirements and some mech introductions. Just then, a screen popped up above the game.

“Trial time is over, dear player. If you like this game and want to continue to enjoy the fun of competition, then please create your own ID and enjoy the Star network.“

The meaning was clear; it was time to come up with a name.

Shi Nian was too lazy to think, and just continued with his usual ID, “Your grandpa Shi Nian.”

At this point, Lu Bo Ting returned, and Adjutant Xue Chi was following him. As soon as the two entered the door, they saw the phoenix in the living room.

Of course, in their eyes, it was a canary.

The “canary” was familiarising itself with the new territory as it ate melon seeds. When someone came back, it immediately swept the melon skins aside and acted as if it was supervising the robot cleaning them up.

“Why does he always love to use Quantum Beast for such small jobs.” Xue Chi couldn’t help but say, “Who’s Quantum Beast isn’t loved and pampered? Just him….”

Lu Baiting looked at the little canary: “Where is he?”

The little canary waved its wings and made a very fierce pose, “Fighting!” Of course, this was, in Shi Nian’s case, playing a game. After all, there was a training room at the back that Lu Bo Ting hadn’t taken him to yet.

“Playing games again.” Xue Chi huffed, “Marshal, this is something you have to manage! We both have our whole lives on the line here. If we let that old headmaster see him still playing games every day, we’ll both be big liars. The kind that fools the school, and just helps the kid get a pass to stay off-campus. “

What was being said over there was naturally heard by Shi Nian. He gave a pause, then, without thinking, added two words to the name that had been chosen.

“A fan.”

Full name, “A Fan of Your Grandpa Shi Nian.”

No, it felt ambiguous, so Shi Nian again bracketed the words “Your grandpa,” which made it obvious. No one could mistakenly believe he is his own fan. After creating an account, Shi Nian got out of the game pod and went downstairs.

Lu Bo Ting heard the movement and looked up at him, “We’ve just moved the game pod over and you’re already playing again?“

Shi Nian nodded as a matter of course.

“Right!”

Next to him, the “canary” itself even swept over a glance, his eyes very obvious: “Or else what?”

But the two still didn’t know that the game pod Lu Bo Ting was talking about was the one moved over from the villa side. While what Shi Nian thought he was talking about was the one from Yan Huaxin’s side.

But just by looking at him like this, Lu Bo Ting thought, with a bit of a headache, that it was really time to find him a mother to keep him in check.

“Huh?” Shi Nian looked up at him sharply and said, “What kind of look is that?”

Lu Bo Ting said, “Wondering if my mum left too early.”

For a moment, Shi Nian and the phoenix glared at him in unison, gnashing their teeth.

Then Shi Nian turned to Xue Chi with a twist of his head and said, “Deputy Xue, didn’t I tell you to take the clothes home to wear last time? Did you take them? Did you wear them? “

Xue Chi: “……“

He was about to open his mouth to defend himself when he saw his own marshal sweep over his head with a glance.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to drink porridge upside down last time? Why don’t you do so now?” Lu Bo Ting said.

Adjutant Xue was going crazy. Why is it that when you two fight, it’s always me, the outsider, who is unlucky?

Why?

“I’m going to make some porridge.” Xue Chi gritted his teeth and said.

Shi Nian immediately said, “Adjutant Xue has a unique hobby! I’ve never seen anyone drink congee upside down before. “

Xue Chi simply wanted to die. He was glad that he had only said something about drinking porridge upside down and not something horrible like eating a razor blade and chewing on a light brain.

While he was down on his luck, the two tit-for-tat over there took a break from the war because of him.

Shi Nian, who unilaterally started the war, forgave his boss, who was paying him. Lu Bo Ting also took it in stride, not daring to mention anything about his mum, and went straight to business: “Most of your things are moved over for you, except for that tree…”

In fact, Lu Bo Ting was going to say that the clothes were also left behind, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t mention it.

He looked at Shi Nian, who was still dressed in fancy clothes. At first, he was unaccustomed to it, but after being forced to adapt to it during this period, he now surprisingly felt that it was quite good. He couldn’t even imagine what such an arrogant, spontaneous person with some child-like cuteness would look like in those light-colored, low-key clothes he had prepared.

“You should have seen the game pod. It’s in the game room that I told you about yesterday.“

Shi Nian nodded. He saw it, and it had more space than the game room on the villa side. So he had a new gaming pod installed.

The next thing was the potions, “Most of the test tubes were broken, but the potions that went into the medicine tubes were fine because of the solid material of the tubes. And they have all been packed up and put into the lab.“

The house had a lot more space, and the lab was in another building. A whole big floor was now set up with all kinds of instruments.

Shi Nian’s potions that had barely escaped the catastrophe were being placed in one place along with the Qianbai flowers and other ingredients. Next to it was a kind of golden silk thread…

“That is a mech material.” Lu Bo Ting said, “It’s very solid, and if the stress point is right, it can lift a whole mecha. If you want to tie a potion tube in the future, use this.“

Shi Nian: “……”

Shi Nian: “If no one touched them, those red wires would never break.”

“It’s always better to be firmer.” Lu Baiting said.

That’s fine! Someone was paying for it anyway, so what could he have to say about it.

Besides, the golden silk threads looked somewhat similar to the color of his feathers, so he was satisfied.

When he went up to take a look, it was indeed solid. It must have been very expensive too.

“Okay!” When Nian glanced at the other equipment, Lu Baiting said, “They are all commonly used equipment in pharmacy. You should be familiar with them. “

That was true.

“Right.” Shi Nian suddenly remembered, “Those two guys who smashed so many tubes of my potions, who exactly sent them.“

Lu Bo Ting gave him a look and said, “They were people from your biological grandfather.”

Shi Nian thought to himself, “Oh, the Bai family, and of course, maybe those allies of theirs too.

“Did anything come out of the interrogation?”

“Originally, these people have always been tough bones to chew.” When he said this, Marshal Lu’s expression was a little odd, “But this time ……”

They said everything easily! It can only be said that it was too scary.

Shi Nian’s potions are too horrible. The man who laughed all day now had the corners of his mouth in a smile as if in some kind of permanent memory, he was unconsciously grinning.

“But they didn’t know anything important, only little things. As for this intrusion, it was solely because of that pathway between the two villas that they wanted to use.“

Shi Nian nodded, “They definitely didn’t think that the pathway was actually left there on purpose because you found it convenient to move between the two villas.”

After all, if someone was following, he could go back the other way and no one would notice.

“But they should all know of your existence by now. “

Lu Bo Ting said, “Earlier they just thought it was strange. After all, my spiritual sea has been getting better and better over this period of time, it couldn’t be hidden.”

“Yes.” Shi Nian said, “After all, you also don’t seem to be very good at acting and pretending to be weak.”

“The military needs me to look my best, and if something goes wrong with my health, it’s going to be a mess. However, you think I can’t act? As if you could! “

Shi Nian raised his head and said condescendingly, “Me? Even if I could, who would be worth acting for? “

“….”

Lu Bo Ting:”…… Okay, you stay here and get familiar with the place. I’ll…“

“Ugh, wait.” Shi Nian immediately said.

“Is there anything else that hasn’t been made clear?”

“Yes!” Shi Nian immediately said, “The training place, the place to shoot and practice guns. I finally familiarised myself with the basement of the villa. Now that we’ve moved here,…“

“Do you still plan to train in those?”

“Otherwise,” Shi Nian asked righteously: “You want me to refine medicine and not play games. If you don’t let me find something else to do, I’m going to be depressed. “

Lu Bo Ting didn’t know what to say. You to be depressed? I’m afraid even if everyone in the world got depressed, you wouldn’t.

“You really don’t want to play games anymore?”

“I’m still playing.” Shi Nian said, “Only fools don’t play. But I changed my name, so the headmaster won’t know that I still play games. “

“Don’t worry. I know my stuff. Aren’t I so reliable?!“

Lu Bo Ting: “….”

Xue Chi, who had just come in:”… “

Adjutant Xue thought, “How can you be depressed? I have to be depressed first! “

“What are you doing here? Is the porridge ready?” Shi Nian immediately turned to him.

Adjutant Xue said, “It’s the military department. There’s an urgent matter that needs to be taken care of by the marshal.”

He immediately clicked on his light brain and sent the specific matter to Lu Bo Ting.

“Marshal ……”

Lu Bo Ting said, “I’ll be right there. You prepare for the meeting first!”

Then he looked at Shi Nian. The latter waved a hand at him and said, “Go ahead, don’t mind me.”

“Okay.” Lu Bo Ting said, “The training place is at the back. I’ll give you the authority to enter later. You can just go there yourself. “

Shi Nian continued to wave his hand.

Hurry up and go so I can go back to playing games after you leave.
