After The Breakup, I Became The Marshal’s Wife

Chapter 35

The moment Lu Bo Ting left, Shi Nian left his phoenix in the lab to tidy up, went back to the house, and straight into the game pod that Yan Huaxin had sent over.

It wasn’t that he was lazy and didn’t want his phoenix to follow Lu Bo Ting. It was obvious that they were going to a meeting, so he could not follow along.

When he got into the game, he immediately bought two mechas. These two mechs were the ones he used to play in the previous mecha game.

One of them looked like a phoenix and was a heavy mech, which was quite violent, and he liked it. He went up and tried it out. Naturally, it wasn’t as easy to operate as in that mech game, but it wasn’t too difficult for Shi Nian either.

He got used to the differences and then arrogantly stirred up his wings and prepared to fight. As Yan Huaxin had said, there were not many players in this game, and Shi Nian queued for a while before he got one. The other side had obviously been waiting for a long time too.

“The two of us can finally fight, but you have to first watch from the sidelines.” When he went in, the man was still muttering to his friend, “I say Wang Haosheng, you really have nothing to do.”

“What are you talking about, Lu Chengze? You fight when you’re told to. I’m tired of just you and me fighting every day. ” said the one called Wang Haosheng. He saw an opponent and was happy: “Look if it isn’t a fan of your male guide, what a coincidence! “

They didn’t adjust their voices, so Shi Nian immediately heard that these were the same two people he had met earlier at the hotel when he went to play the gun battle game.

If he remembered correctly, they were both from the same school.

He was holding a gun to the one called Wang, while he also threatened the one named Lu to stay still.

It was indeed a coincidence.

At that moment, the one named Lu Chengze also saw his ID and said, “Brother, you have a good eye!”

“Because you are so discerning, your brother will be lighter…

Before he could finish his words, Shi Nian had already rushed up, and he flapped his wings. The action looked very handsome and cool. But in fact, as soon as the mecha moved, he realised something was wrong. This mecha was too flexible, far more flexible than the previous mecha game. Depending on the mental power, the higher the mental power, the greater the precision that can be manipulated, and sometimes even the speed of the mecha can be increased. So, he flew very fast at this time, overtaking the distance to the other side with a huge gust of wind.

Wang Haosheng, as a bystander, could not help but also marvel, “So fast!”

As an opponent, Lu Chengze dared not speak up, and he immediately retreated to distance himself. He was using long-range light armour this time, and if the opponent was close enough, he would be finished. His strength was considered good for First school, far from Ji Yiqing’s level. So he had retreated quickly and put enough distance between the two of them. Incidentally, this made up for Shi Nian’s misjudged speed and aligned them back together. Without further ado, Shi Nian landed a direct hit.

This was really “an unexpected surprise!” Shi Nian couldn’t help but sigh.

On the other hand, Wang Haosheng and Lu Chengze were both stunned: “What kind of divine prediction is this!“

Wang Haosheng was still able to talk freely from the sidelines, while Lu Chengze, needless to say, had been incited by a wing.

Then, without saying a word, Shi Nian started punching. This was a set he had practised on Ji Yiqing, and he hadn’t used it much to beat others, but it worked well at this time.

Wang Haosheng: “……“

“He really deserves to be called a fan. This set can be said to be very similar; it’s practically identical. “

The game record of Shi Nian beating Ji Yiqing did indeed get out just recently.

Of course, it wasn’t Shi Nian who did it; it was some friend of Ji Yiqing’s, as they were the only ones present at the time. The other party didn’t think much of it at the time, so they secretly recorded it. At first, he didn’t dare send it out because of Ji Yiqing. But now that Ji Yiqing was behind bars, he took advantage of the opportunity to send it out to rub the heat.

The result was, of course, a lot of ridicule. After all, he used to be a lapdog for Ji Yiqing. But people still loved watching the video, and it spread all over the internet in minutes.

Wang Haosheng and Lu Chengze naturally also watched it, and now they were all left dumbfounded.

Lu Chengze even couldn’t help but say, “I finally know what Ji Yiqing felt like at that time.”

Now that this game is realistic in that one can directly dismantle and get people out to fight, he felt that he was so miserable. Of course, Shi Nian didn’t do so. After all, he had a grudge against Ji Yiqing, and it was deliberate torture at the time. He just happened to fall into this routine here.

Lu Chengze: “……“

“Shame on you, brother. Before one could finish their big speech, you started beating them up. And why not say you’re so strong? Why do you have your name as someone else’s fan? You’re making me think you’re just a rookie.“

“A fan of Shi Nian?” Lu Chengze didn’t hold back, “It’s more like he should be your fan.”

“What’s the difference?” Shi Nian had changed his voice, so it didn’t even sound like him.

Is there a difference between him saying, “I am my fan” and “I am a fan?”

However, how could Lu Chengze know that? He muttered, “The difference is big alright!”

Although he also appreciates Shi Nian’s style, he would definitely not say that he is Shi Nian’s fan. It’s just that he admires his arrogance and good looks.

“If you’re a fan, then there should always be a point of admiration, right? If you fight him, he definitely can’t beat you. So what do you have to admire? “

Shi Nian: “……”

“Then I worship him for being rich!”

He muttered in his heart. This man’s brain didn’t look very good, and the last time he thought that his brain-dead words were because he had been hit in the head. But now he realised it was just a case of no IQ.

“So that’s it!” Lu Chengze, who had no idea that he had been labelled retarded, said, “Two hundred million! I don’t know what his parents think. My family also has two hundred million to spend, but my parents would never give it to me. If I dared ask for it, my legs would be broken! “

Wang Haosheng came over, “Brother, you are so cool! That prediction just now was great.“

It’s not just a matter of predicting when someone is going to retreat; it’s a matter of how far they are going to retreat. How far to retreat generally depends on the person’s strength and personal habits. If it were Wang Haosheng himself, since he and Lu Chengze grew up together and were too familiar with each other, it wouldn’t be surprising to guess what he would do, but as a stranger, that was just awesome!

Shi Nian twitched the corners of his mouth and said, “Are you still playing?”

It was too slow waiting in line here. If he could have these two to practise with him, that would naturally be the best.

It was just as well that the two of them actually had the same idea and wanted to find someone to fight with to improve their strength. The two sides hit off immediately and soon started the second match.

“I’ll do it! I’ll do it!” Lu Chengze said, “I want to start on a clean slate. I lost that match before I could even play. “

So the two of them formed a room directly, and Wang Haosheng watched the fight from the sides. Shi Nian immediately charged upwards as usual, and for the heavy mechs, this was almost their only purpose. Because of the difference in weapons, if one doesn’t get close enough, they’d only get hit. Even if the protection mechanism was high, sooner or later you’d have a shot at getting through.

Lu Chengze took the advice from the last game and instead of backing up straight away, he pressed down.

Wang Haosheng could see at a glance that he was planning to wait for Shi Nian to settle into position and pick a new position at that instant, relying on the fact that heavy mechs are not as nimble as his light mechs.

And as expected, Shi Nian did not dash far but stopped right above his head, and naturally, his wings fanned out.

Lu Chengze began to adjust his position the moment he stopped, and although he was mentally focused, he didn’t forget to say, “I didn’t expect that. Did you think I’d take a loss and would definitely stay put this time?“

“…… “

Shi Nian: “I just accidentally rushed far away in the previous game. You are that mouse that was caught by a blind cat. Why press if you won’t let go? Are you not afraid that once again you will miscalculate and I will catch you, that it will be too much to handle? “

Otherwise, in a good mech battle, who would fight like that? The opponent is not Ji Yiqing the scumbag.

Lu Chengze: “……“

Wang Haosheng laughed so hard, “Come on, dead mouse, cheer up ah. Don’t give the cat a chance in this game too. “

“You keep an eye on it; I won’t.”

He clenched his teeth to the point of almost shattering them. What the hell kind of truth was this? He would rather not know. It was preferable to be calculated by the opposing party than to rely on this damned bad luck!

He was instantly more than ready to fight.

Ignoring the oops from the party, this was the first serious fight that Shi Nian had ever had against someone.

The bit he was familiar with earlier wasn’t quite enough. At least he hadn’t really done this bit before. Driving his own mech up and down casually was not the same thing as going up and down in a fight at times.

For example, at the beginning of the game, he didn’t control his speed well enough and flew too far.

Over the course of the game, Shi Nian made a few mistakes as well. But he soon grasped it.

“The time to adjust his form was surprisingly short.” Wang Haosheng thought as he watched, “There were clearly a few mistakes, and it looked like he gave Xiao Lu a chance, but the latter couldn’t grab it at all.”

An untrained eye might think it was because Lu Chengze was just flailing around, but Wang Haosheng knew that it was clearly because Shi Nian had adjusted too quickly and thought of a way to deal with him almost instantly.

“And every mistake he makes is done only once. There is absolutely no second time. “

Actually, he wasn’t quite right, it was the same ‘type’ of mistake, but not the same mistake.

For example, if he charged forward too fast, even if he went up and down, left or right, he would pay attention to that afterward and never make the same mistake again.

Shi Nian played happily, adjusting as he did so, and soon became completely comfortable with it.

From that point on, Lu Chengze’s time was miserable. Several times, he felt like he was going to lose his life power, but then suddenly, he came from the brink of death. Then it wasn’t long before he was almost gone again, but he’d have a little life left to live. He didn’t even realize that he was in a loop, but Wang Haosheng could see that it was intentional at that time. Shi Nian deliberately did not win, just to keep fighting and keep practicing.

Of course, Lu Chengze was not stupid, and he realized it after a few times.

“Brother, you change a person for torture. My brother over there is better than me. You try him out… don’t beat me into a sheep ah! “

Wang Haosheng laughed angrily over there, “The one named Lu. What’s the matter with you? You betrayed your brother! “

“How does it sound? Don’t say you don’t dare to come up and try it? ” Lu Chengze, with a righteous face, said.

Wang Haosheng naturally wanted to. Those of them from the First school, of course, preferred to fight against experts as opposed to abusing amateurs.

It helped to improve. If they improved a little more at this moment, when they got to the battlefield, it might be able to save their lives as a result.

When Lu Chengze retreated over there, Wang Haosheng got ready.

He also added Shi Nian as a friend, opened a room and invited him in, then ordered him to start.

Lu Chengze watched the battle next to him, not forgetting to remind him, “Although we are all S-level mental powers, my brother’s mental power is actually higher than mine in detail. In fights, he has always been superior to me. Be careful, friend! “

He felt that the gap between him and Shi Nian was not very big and that he had a chance to surpass it with hard work. At that moment, seeing him go up against Wang Haosheng, he was also quite interested. But to his surprise, as soon as this game started, Shi Nian showed an even stronger ability than in the last game.

“Fuck!” Lu Chengze was shocked.

Wang Haosheng also reacted, “You still suppressed a portion of your spiritual power when fighting Lu just now.”

The one used in this game was clearly stronger than the previous one.

The mecha here was infinitely close to reality, but it was still not reality. Or rather, only the military department was 100% reverted. On the school side, in order to stimulate the students’ potential, it was usually as much mental power as they could use on the mechs. So they were not limited by the mechs’ own abilities.

This was also because they were still in the shaping stage, unlike soldiers in the military who usually already have their own mechs and have been using them for a long time and would not change them easily.

So it meant that even a D-grade model mech could still be as powerful as an S-grade if your mental power was as high as the S-rank. This setting was continued in order to prevent some people, like the ordinaries, from being unable to pick a model.

And at this point, Shi Nian’s mecha was clearly faster.

Shi Nian said, “Yeah!”

In fact, even now, he was only playing with a part of his strength and only enough to be equal to the opposite side. So as not to be taken advantage of, and also:

“I will not take advantage of you. We are not comparing spiritual power, but only fighting instincts and consciousness. “

And Shi Nian also thought to himself that no one was more gifted than he in this respect. He was a fire phoenix who was naturally good at fighting. His fighting ability was also affirmed by everyone back then in the Sword Sect. He was a better fighter in his phoenix form, and this mecha was slightly similar to it. Therefore, Shi Nian was very comfortable with it, and the more he fought, the happier he was!

“Shit!” Wang Haosheng couldn’t help but say, “If it weren’t for the fact that my mech is at least two levels higher than his and has two more weapons, I would have lost by now.”

But his current situation was not to be taken lightly. This opponent was, indeed, very strong. Wang Haosheng’s eyes lit up with battle intent, and he grew more and more excited. Then he pressured Shi Nian, who was familiar with this fighting pattern, into a fight. Slowly, he fell into the same state as Lu Chengze before him. A practising partner

“Speaking of which, who is training with whom?” Lu Chengze muttered, “Why does this state look like being beaten by a coach, then getting up and continuing being beaten, then getting up and continuing…”

Thinking of the coach, he recalled that he was in an actual combat game some time ago. During the exercise, the one who knocked down the three of them one-to-three was taken as either a coach or a senior. For a moment, his mind connected the two together, then shook his head. It’s impossible. What kind of coincidence is that?

Shi Nian and Wang Lu fought until late, and he was very happy!

“Are you guys still coming tomorrow?” When they parted, he asked, “There are too few people in this game, and it’s too much trouble to match them individually.”

Wang Haosheng said, “There should be time soon.”

“Is this game going to go on sale? It should be soon! ” Yan Huaxin didn’t say when it was going to be on sale!

“A big batch was just sold a while ago.” Wang Haosheng said, “Each school, from the First to the Sixth on the Main star, all bought. The cabins will supposedly be installed in the dormitory so that students can continue to play even when they return to the dormitory at night.“

Shi Nian: “The Sixth school bought them too?”

Lu Chengze said, “Yes! Although the Sixth school has never had any outstanding students over the years, they have never left behind any equipment. Otherwise, how could Yan Huaxin and Zhang Jingkai go to… “

Shi Nian: “……”

As expected, the school was really ready to let everyone live on campus, especially for the combat department. Even equipment was ordered for them.

“Why are you inquiring about the sixth school?” Lu Chengze said.

“Yeah.” Wang Haosheng also laughed, “If you want to come, you have to come to the First school. Our first school is the best.“

Shi Nian twitched at the corner of his mouth.

“Don’t ask about my age; it’s enough to be your father.“

That suggestion was loaded with traps. If he said he was going to school later or had another target college, they would know he just wasn’t in college yet. If he reacted otherwise, they’d know he was in another school or that he’d already graduated and entered the military.

“Kid.” Shi Nian patted Wang Haosheng’s shoulder, “Sometimes it’s cute to be like this friend next to you, use a little less brain.”

After saying that, he went offline. Leaving Lu Chengze with a face: “Where am I cute, I obviously look so handsome ……”

Wang Haosheng: “He’s saying you’re brainless and a bit stupid, so it’s cute and lovable.”

Lv Chengze: “Wh-what?!”

“Insulting my IQ…! By the way, why were you asking about people’s ages? “

Wang Haosheng glanced at him speechlessly, “Don’t you think he’s strong.“

“He’s quite strong.” But as Lu Chengze admitted, “There are many strong people; there are many people under the sky that we can’t beat.”

Wang Haosheng: “…“

He rubbed his brow helplessly, “You really made the best choice by not going to the command department in the first place. If you did, I doubt you’d ever graduate. “

That fan of Shi Nian’s just now had a few oddities on him. It is true that he was very strong, and his mental strength was also powerful. But at the very beginning, it was clear that he was not familiar with mechs. But then again, when he makes a small mistake, he adjusts very quickly, and later on he made no mistakes. So it was like he had not touched mechs for years and his hands were just getting familiar with them.

In this way, he wanted to find out which of the two scenarios the other party fell under, so wasn’t it normal to test him lightly?

He glanced at his hairy friend beside him, who had never grown a brain.

As it happened, Lu Chengze was also looking at him, and muttered, “Who wants to go to the command department? It’s a waste of brain cells to wonder about everything you see all day. “

Shi Nian had finished his game and went downstairs to get something to eat. It just so happened that Lu Bo Ting was also coming down from his study upstairs.

Marshal Lu looked like he had just finished a meeting, and because he was at home, his whole body looked a little less energetic. But he was still standing straight and walking neatly.

Shi Nian glanced at him, and then looked at his three-step, two-step, one-jump appearance, and made a light “tsk”.

It’s not easy to become a marshal at such a young age!

Since the two had bumped into each other, they went downstairs together. As usual, Shi Nian got his ice cream and he asked Lu Bo Ting, “You want to drink that bitter as hell coffee?”

Lu Bo Ting was about to nod, but suddenly gave a lurch and changed his mind.

“No.” He said tiredly, “I’m a bit hungry. Let the robot order a bowl of noodles!”

Shi Nian set the robot for him and muttered, “I can never eat this.”

What’s so good about noodles? You need to have some roasted pork!

But although Marshal Lu’s meal was noodles, they were covered with a thick layer of ingredients, including two large slices of meat, full of heat.

As Shi Nian watched him eat it, he instantly felt that it smelled quite good.

“I’ll have a bowl too.”

 “And then only eat the meat and leave the noodles as leftovers?“

Shi Nian: “……”

“No,” he said, “If there are leftovers, you can eat them.”

Lu Bo Ting looked up at him and had to admit that Xue Chi was right in the first place. This kid, he shouldn’t be spoiled. He took matters into his own hands and ordered a bowl for Shi Nian, which contained just two noodles with a lot of meat spread on top.

Shi Nian either had a small appetite after all those snacks and couldn’t finish them, or he liked meat and didn’t really like staple food that much. He thought he would definitely be able to finish it with this pairing.

As it turned out, two noodles were just enough for Shi Nian to taste and not have any leftovers. As for the meat, it was eaten in three or two bites.

Lu Bo Ting was about to go and spend some time in the training room before going to bed when he heard Shi Nian mutter in a low voice.

“You just don’t want to eat my leftovers!”

As a result, Marshal Lu kept on his feet and ignored it, but his tolerance only fueled his opponent’s arrogance.

He heard Shi Nian laughing loudly. “It’s not like you haven’t eaten them before.”

Hahaha, Lu Bo Ting actually ate the leftovers!!
