Xu Peigeng received a revision suggestion from the mysterious Party A's father.

"Change the color of hair and pupils to black, make the eyes rounder, and the chin a bit sharper..." Xu Peigeng read the request dumbfounded, always feeling that this image is more and more like a certain friend.

However, before Xu Peigeng had time to struggle for a long time, there was a "ding dong", and the first payment arrived on time.

Eighty thousand star coins.

It's [-]% more than what was agreed, which is said to be a bonus.

Xu Peigeng immediately put all doubts behind him, and humbly promised: "Okay, just change it like this, it's completely fine."

However, Xu Peigeng was more careful and told Cheng Ran about this matter.

On the speeding sports car, Lu Jiheng was holding the steering wheel, unconsciously peeking at Shen Yao through the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye.

Shen Yao was sitting in the back seat, wearing a well-ironed military uniform, with his white gloved left hand propped between the window sill and his chin, looking sideways at the scenery outside the window, with a cold expression on his face.

Lu Jiheng gave a silent "tsk", and couldn't help but think of Shen Yao's posture of confronting a group of old cadres in the military headquarters half an hour ago.

More than a dozen high-ranking officials took turns to fight, using both soft and hard tactics, but they couldn't beat a strong young marshal in his early twenties.

Of course, Shen Yao's military uniform played a big role in this.

Lu Jiheng shook his head seriously, feeling that Shen Yao's military uniform was the most formal among all the military uniforms, so he said, why wear it for no reason—it's for the purpose of suppressing the battle!

Thinking of the secretary-general, looking at the ears of wheat and the five stars on the military uniform representing the rank of marshal, he wanted to hate but didn't dare to, his face almost turned green.

Lu Jiheng wandered off for a while, regained his senses, and unconsciously shifted his gaze to the rearview mirror again.

Then, across the mirror, Shen Yao and Shen Yao's eyes met.

Shen Yao lazily raised his eyelids, rolled his eyes, and said in a bad tone: "Fart, let go."

Lu Jiheng chuckled twice, and carefully probed: "Boss, why do you have to participate in that mech competition?"

The sports car passed by the neon street, red, green and green lights flashed brightly and secretly on Shen Yao's face one after another, Shen Yao looked sleepy, and asked, "Didn't you already have a guess in your heart?"

Lu Jiheng was silent for a moment, then half-closed his eyes: "You don't really want to do it for Cheng Ran, do you?"

Shen Yao's gaze was slightly lowered, noncommittal.

Lu Jiheng's face changed slightly, and he said earnestly: "No, boss, why are you so unwilling to let go after chasing someone? You are still a student who has not graduated..."

Shen Yao interrupted him and corrected him: "University student."

Lu Jiheng choked, but still looked at him with animal eyes, and reminded: "That hasn't graduated yet."

Shen Yao rubbed his forehead hair irritably, his face was cold: "Otherwise, why do you think I endured it until now?"

Lu Jiheng almost blurted out - isn't it because you are too inexperienced that you haven't hooked anyone up for a long time? !

It's just that Shen Yao's death gaze has already looked over before he could speak.

Lu Jiheng took advantage of the situation to shut up, and changed his mind to ask other things: "Even so, you don't have to go to the competition by yourself, right? It's still acceptable for the marshal of the military department to be an instructor. Isn't it too unfair to be a contestant?"

Shen Yao's face remained unchanged: "So I plan to lock my spiritual power in advance."

Lu Jiheng became more and more devastated: "That's why I can't understand it even more! You have locked up your mental power, and it is useless for you to participate in the competition!"

Shen Yao frowned: "Of course, it's my first competition, so I'm not at ease."

It's just a competition, nothing life-threatening.

Lu Jiheng twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to ask, why were you so relieved when you left me alone in the worm pile?

Shen Yao frowned, but didn't tell Lu Jiheng that the original cause of the incident was that he had a nightmare.

He dreamed that Cheng Ran was rolling and crying on the grass in pain in the competition field.

Ranran's upper body was under the bright light, and no scars could be seen, but the area from the waist and abdomen was all hidden in the dark, so the specific situation could not be seen clearly.But judging from the other party's painful expression, Shen Yao guessed that his lower body was injured.

Shen Yao always felt that this dream seemed to imply something, and he was always restless these days.

So, he simply cut off his status as a mentor, and abruptly added a place for himself as a contestant.

——This is also what the military department collectively opposed him today.

Lu Jiheng was full of complaints and had nowhere to vent, but he didn't dare to speak directly to his boss, so he could only vent his depression on the accelerator angrily.

The sports car made a fast-moving shadow on the empty street.

After being quiet for a while, Shen Yao said again: "Also, I plan to take Pangpang with me this time. You can apply to the program team for me."

The sports car suddenly slammed on the brakes, forcing an "S"-shaped braking track on the street.

Lu Jiheng let go of the steering wheel, couldn't help turning his head, and said dumbfounded: "Are you crazy? You still have to bring a pet fish to the competition?"

There was a faint look of worry between Shen Yao's brows and eyes: "The laboratory said that Pangpang's genes are not stable recently, and he may soon mutate. I don't worry if I don't take it with me."

Lu Jiheng was speechless, he couldn't bear to look directly at people chasing people with pets.

After days and nights of processing by several people, the transformed mecha was finally released.

During this period, the biggest change was that Cheng Ran's mentor changed.

The new mentor Lu Jiheng numbly praised the achievements of the few people these days: "Well, you have worked hard, and you have done a good job."

Cheng Ran wondered, "Where's the marshal?"

The corner of Lu Jiheng's mouth twitched: "He's going to do more important things."

Cheng Ran was a little dissatisfied with this vague answer, so he went to ask Shen Yao privately.

In the end, Shen Yao's answer was exactly the same as Lu Jiheng's.

Cheng Ran frowned deeply, feeling that the two of them were planning nothing good.

This doubt did not last long. A few days later, the official website announced the participating mecha models of each team, and Cheng Ran keenly found a familiar "black cat" inside.

The official website has not announced the list of each group yet, Cheng Ran silently saved the photo of the black cat's mecha, and silently handed the photo to Lu Jiheng to see.

Lu Jiheng: ...

Cheng Ran was very resentful: "Marshal Shen came to compete?"

This black cat mech looks exactly like the black cat he met in the back mountain during the rookie match.

Besides Cheng Ran and Lu Jiheng, the only one who saw the black cat was Shen Yao.

Lu Jiheng looked at the "criminal evidence" and nodded with difficulty.

Cheng Ran didn't quite understand: "Is this okay?"

Lu Jiheng's expression became more and more complicated. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Did you forget who the organizer is?"

Oh, it's the military department.

Cheng Ran thought silently.

"Well, although the boss sometimes doesn't seem particularly reliable, he actually has a lot of say in the military department." Lu Jiheng sighed, "If he insists on insisting, the military department generally has nothing to do."

Cheng Ran walked away silently, squatting in a corner alone to plant mushrooms.

Lu Jiheng saw that something was wrong, so he hurried up to cheer Shen Yao up: "Boss doesn't count as going through the back door, he promised the military department that he would lock his mental power before competing, so that he can only use manual mechanical armor, which is better than others. Competitors are disadvantaged."

In the end, it was okay not to say anything, but as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Ran glanced at him and became even more autistic.

Lu Jiheng didn't understand what he said wrong, and scratched the back of his head inexplicably.

Ugh.

He really doesn't understand the thoughts of these non-straight men.

Cheng Ran silently drew cursing circles, and after a long while, he said in a muffled voice: "Would he rather lock up his mental power than compete with us?"

Lu Jiheng: ...Huh?

Cheng Ran gave him a resentful look: "And he's going to keep it from me."

Lu Jiheng: Huh? ? ?

This tangled point seems to be different from what he thought!

"Isn't your group full?" Lu Jiheng bumped into Cheng Ran's shoulder, laughing, "He said he didn't feel at ease just watching you compete, he had to enter the arena. But the five of you, kicking anyone No, that’s why he created a new team.”

Cheng Ran was stunned: "Really? Didn't he compete with Mushroom Jing?"

"Who is the mushroom spirit?" Lu Jiheng was confused.

There was sympathy in Cheng Ran's eyes, and he understood that the lieutenant general didn't know about the existence of that "little mushroom".

"No matter who the Mushroom Spirit is, don't worry, Shen Yao is alone in his team!" Lu Jiheng looked at Cheng Ran's face and explained solemnly.

Cheng Ran was stunned.

Lu Jiheng was so blessed that he shook his head pretending to be casual and said with emotion: "I really don't know who the Mushroom King is. Anyway, I have never seen him show such concern for you, except for Pangpang."

Cheng Ran blushed quietly, and even stammered: "Really, really."

Lu Jiheng looked at the shy young man in front of him lovingly, restrained his urge to reach out and rub his head, and imitated his tone and said cheerfully: "It's really, really!"

Cheng Ran bit his lower lip, turned around and went back to squat in the corner, but his expression was obviously brighter.

Lu Jiheng couldn't help showing a kind smile.

He felt that he was like Shen Yao's old father, who really broke his heart for his great cause of leaving the single.

Lu Jiheng turned sideways and sent Shen Yao a message asking for credit: "Boss, you definitely want to give me a bonus this time! Guess what I said to Cheng Ran just now?"

As soon as he pressed send, Cheng Ran suddenly spoke again, hesitatingly said: "But, Shen Yao himself said that what he likes is a small mushroom. Do you really not know where he grew the mushroom?"

Lu Jiheng retorted blankly: "Shen Yao doesn't have a hobby of growing mushrooms?"

Not even a big fan of mushrooms.

The last time I drank mushroom soup, I specially told the kitchen to make it for Cheng Ran.

Lu Jiheng faintly felt that there might be some misunderstanding, so he touched Cheng Ran's shoulder on the spot, and said seriously, "When did he say it? How did he say it? Tell me the ins and outs in detail."

Cheng Ran curled his lips, and told the story of the two exchanging sincere notes.

Of course, the part where he confesses that he is not human is omitted.

After listening, Lu Jiheng frowned and thought for a moment, took out his optical brain, and searched for the word "mushroom".

——Among the messages that popped up, the most popular one was the video of "Mech Boss Picking Mushrooms".

Lu Jiheng: ...

He couldn't help but slander, Shen Yao's confession was too tactful!

Cheng Ran was still eagerly waiting for his answer.

Lu Jiheng sighed, unable to laugh or cry: "The so-called little mushroom, I guess it should be..."

Cheng Ran couldn't help but took a small step forward and looked at him expectantly.

Lu Jiheng opened his mouth and was about to tell Cheng Ran the truth. Just then, the message he just sent was answered——

"Shen Yao: What did you say to him? I warn you, don't talk nonsense!"

After half a second, Shen Yao added another one: "Be careful that all bonuses are deducted."

Lu Jiheng: ...

He turned off the optical brain with a click, raised a smile, and said to Cheng Ran sincerely: "I have never heard of mushrooms or mushrooms. Maybe Shen Yao is just like this."
