Chapter 159.1 Uneasy
Editor: Jodi
Yan Hao was inspecting the internal wiring of a partially built mech, going up and down the lift when suddenly, a message notification flashed on the terminal of his light brain which was on his left hand, however he didn’t pay much attention to it, continuing with his work. After all, those who needed him urgently would call his communicator directly; messages usually weren’t urgent matters.
It was only after he completed the arm circuit inspection at a steady pace, double-checking to ensure that everything was fine that he remembered the message from earlier and glanced at it casually.
[Hello Xiao Hao, this is Sheng Tianxing. Are you available for a call?]
Sheng Tianxing? General Admiral Sheng?!
Realizing who it was, Yan Hao looked at the time and saw that a whole two hours had passed since General Admiral Sheng had sent the message.
And not even daring to waste time, he climbed down from the lift and called him back directly, and after about two to three seconds, the call connected.
“Uncle, I’m sorry for only returning your call just now.” Yan Hao apologized sincerely to General Admiral Sheng who was on the projection screen, his face filled with guilt.
“That’s alright, it’s I who is disturbing you suddenly. I hope I didn’t delay your mech building.” There was a mech behind Yan Hao, and although he couldn’t see the whole appearance of the mech through the screen, he dealt with mechs every day and so could tell what it was at a glance.
“No, no.” Yan Hao shook his head hurriedly.
“That’s good, that’s good.” General Admiral Sheng repeated, then paused, not knowing how to broach the topic.
Yan Hao waited for a few moments, then seeing that he had suddenly stopped talking, took the initiative to ask, “Uncle, is there something you need from me?”
“Yes, there is something, it’s…..” General Admiral Sheng opened his mouth to say what was on his mind then choked. He had heard Sheng Heng say that Sima Ming Xuan had once kidnapped Yan Hao, and that Yan Hao hated him very much. Yet here he was calling Yan Hao this time to ask him to treat Sima Ming Xuan. This request, seemed a little like he was forcing him.
“What?” There was a curious expression on Yan Hao’s face.
General Admiral Sheng was someone who had a straightforward personality, and so after struggling for a while, he decided to be honest: “I have a favor to ask, but if you don’t want to help, just reject me directly. Don’t force yourself.”
“Please go ahead. I will definitely help if I can?” Although Yan Hao was saying this on the surface, he had already decided in his heart that as long as it was something he could do, he would definitely help.
“It’s about…. Sima Ming Xuan.”
Yan Hao froze.
“Sima Ming Xuan is just like Sheng Zhuo. They both upgraded their mental energy to the S level with the use of a phantom elixir. Sheng Zhuo’s mental energy has been stable since his advancement, however Sima Ming Xuan seems to be having some issues, and recently, General Admiral Sima approached me to discuss exchanging the formula for the medicine in return for ores, mechs, and level ten medicines. Would you… agree to this?” General Admiral Sheng pretended that he didn’t know that Sheng Heng had already discussed this matter with Yan Hao. This way, Yan Hao wouldn’t feel burdened mentally if he wanted to refuse.
As soon as General Admiral Sheng mentioned Sima Ming Xuan, Yan Hao already knew what he was going to say next, and if he calculated, this was already the third time he was hearing about this exchange proposal.
“Uncle, what do you think?” He didn’t respond right away and instead asked General Admiral Sheng for his opinion.
“My opinion isn’t important here. It’s your formula, so it’s your decision.” General Admiral Sheng told him.
“Uncle contacted me personally, so you must want me to save Sima Ming Xuan, right?” Yan Hao said with certainty.
“I do want you to save Sima Ming Xuan, but as I said, my opinion isn’t important here. It’s your formula, so you decide.” General Admiral Sheng told him again.
“May I hear your reason for wanting me to save him?” Yan Hao asked.
“It’s because he has S level mental energy and is someone who has the talent and potential to become a level ten mech warrior.” General Admiral Sheng began, then seeing that Yan Hao didn’t interrupt him, continued, “Sheng Heng has told me about the grudge between you two, and I’m not a fan of his character either, but….”
He muttered to himself for a moment, then after hesitating, continued, “Do you know about the zergs’ top combat power?”
“The level ten zergs?” Yan Hao asked.
“It’s the Zerg Emperor.” General Admiral Sheng shook his head then explained, “In the information released to the public, the Federation deliberately downplayed the strength of the Zerg Emperor, portraying it as just a level ten zerg.”
Downplayed? Yan Hao caught the emphasis.
