Vicious male counterpart isn’t competing anymore [Rebirth]

Chapter 148.1 Companion Ores

Editor: Jodi

The sooner they found the ore, the sooner the research on the advanced mimetic mech could begin, hence the matter of them going to the Resource Star Planet couldn’t be delayed. And so the two of them asked for leave from their respective class teachers then boarded a spaceship to the Resource Star Planet early the next morning.

And three days later, they arrived at the Resource Star Planet, and without even taking the time to rest and adjust, they rented a local off-road mining vehicle and set off.

“According to our speed, it will take two days for us to reach the place you mentioned.” Yan Hao was holding a map which was densely marked with many names of ores in black font, almost covering half of the map. It was the one originally hand-drawn by Sheng Heng after using his mental energy to detect them.

“Xiao Hao, go to the back and sleep for a while, I can drive alone.” Having just gotten off the spaceship, and with Yan Hao’s constitution not as strong as his, Sheng Heng was afraid he would become tired.

“I’m not sleepy yet.”

“Then when you start feeling sleepy go and rest at the back.” Sheng Heng didn’t force him.

“Okay.” Yan Hao nodded, then lowered his head to continue looking at the map, his eyes sweeping over every character that had been written by Sheng Heng himself. The characters seemed to glow as if illuminated, lighting up his starry sky one by one.

He sneaked a glance at Sheng Heng, then seeing that he was focused on the road ahead, activated the camera function of his light brain carefully, took a picture of the map in his hand, then sent it to He Shao.

A moment later, He Shao’s message came back, his words filled with excitement: [Damn, damn, Hao Hao, sure enough, you’re the one who treats me well. With this map, my trip to the Resource Star Planet will be a hundred times easier. Was it a local official on the Resource Star Planet who gave it to you?]

Yan Hao: [No, Senior gave it to me.]

He Shao: [Is the guard army on the Resource Star Planet from the War God Legion?]

Yan Hao: [No, this map was marked out by Senior himself when he came here the last time, using his mental energy to detect the veins in the earth.]

He Shao: [….]

He Shao: [I thought you giving me the map was to help your classmate out, but it turns out it was actually just to show off your love?]

When Yan Hao saw the words ‘show off your love’, his brows couldn’t help but curve into a smile, then he looked quietly at Sheng Heng, and seeing that he wasn’t looking his way, continued to type: [He Shao, when Senior came to the Resource Star Planet the last time, I hadn’t confessed to him yet, but he still drew this map for me. Tell me, do you think he liked me at that time?]

He Shao: [I’m in class.]

He couldn’t continue this chat anymore. It was already enough that he was being fed dog food, did he have to help him collect it too?

Yan Hao also didn’t continue to bother He Shao and looked up and out of the car, occasionally comparing the place they were at with the map in his hand, and each time they reached a place marked on the map, his eyes would suddenly light up, then he’d use his light brain to take a picture. At the beginning, Sheng Heng didn’t notice anything unusual, it wasn’t until they passed by some of the marked places on the map three times in a row that he suddenly realized something, however he didn’t point it out, his mood suddenly soaring, as if the desert sand outside the car had turned into spring rain, lingering and intoxicating.

The next evening, after the car neared its destination, the two of them got out, then standing on a hill, looked into the distance.

“That’s where the phantom beast was first found.” Sheng Heng pointed to a forest nearby.

“Phantom beasts like to devour mental energy, and this kind of ore also absorbs mental energy. Could it be that they are companions?” Yan Hao suddenly came up with a bold guess.

“It’s possible.” Sheng Heng nodded in agreement. “At that time, I’d originally just wanted to explore to see if there were any rare ores in the vicinity, then when my mental energy swept over that area, it was absorbed. The intensity hadn’t been strong, hence I didn’t pay much attention at the time, and then coupled with the phantom beast suddenly appearing, I forgot about it completely. If it hadn’t been for the fact that my mental energy was absorbed in the same way in the lab that day, I really wouldn’t have remembered.”

“Let’s go over and dig.” Yan Hao said then was about to run forward.

“Wait a minute, let me explore first to find a place with more ores to dig.” And saying this, Sheng Heng released his mental energy like an invisible net towards that area.

Yan Hao could clearly sense the movement of Sheng Heng’s mental energy, and the more he sensed, the more shocked he became, because having the same S level mental energy, his mental energy wasn’t any weaker than Sheng Heng’s, however even the mental energy control he was proud of, he had to admit couldn’t match Sheng Heng’s finesse, so when Sheng Heng finished scanning the surface and retracted his mental energy, he was met with Yan Hao’s admiring and awe-struck gaze.

“Senior, you’re amazing.” Yan Hao said from the bottom of his heart. “Even though we both have S level mental energy, I’m far worse than you.”

Was there any man in the world who didn’t like being praised by the one he liked? The corners of Sheng Heng’s lips rose slightly as he said with a smile, “You just need to practice more, I’ll teach you later.”

“En.” Yan Hao really wanted to learn, because according to his design, the main parts of the advanced mimetic mech would be made of this special ore that absorbed mental energy, and in order to turn this ore into mech parts one needed very strong mental energy as well as the ability to control it.

“I’ve found a place with a high concentration of the ore. Let’s go dig it up.”

The two descended from the hillside then drove towards the place Sheng Heng had just detected.
