Vicious male counterpart isn’t competing anymore [Rebirth]

Chapter 154.1 Balance

Editor: Jodi

The appearance of the phantom spirit stones led to a rapid multiple-fold increase in the Federation’s advanced combat power, and Yan Hao’s reputation and fame also peaked in a short time, however in real life, he was still just a student.

“Now that all the major legions have upgraded their mechs successfully, the guidance work on the phantom spirit stones can almost come to an end, so you don’t need to come here for the next month or so; take a good rest.” Old Pang said to Yan Hao with a smile inside the lab.

From the discovery to the widespread use of the phantom spirit stones, Yan Hao had been busy almost without rest, and Old Pang, feeling distressed, wanted to give him a break.

“A month? Isn’t that too long?” During this period of time, Yan Hao had indeed been quite tired, but the thought of not being able to come to the lab for a month made him feel a bit uneasy.

“A month is not long at all. Go back, attend classes with your classmates, and time will pass quickly. What’s more the graduation ceremony for the seniors is in two weeks, and all the graduates will be returning this week.” Old Pang told him.

“The graduation ceremony?” What did the graduation ceremony have to do with him?

“Have you forgotten?”

“What?”

“Sheng Heng is graduating this year.” Old Pang reminded him.

“What?!” Yan Hao was shocked. “Senior is graduating? That’s not right, right? Senior is only a year ahead of me, and I’m only in my second year, so he should be in his third year.”

Old Pang looked at his little disciple for a few seconds seriously, then reached out to touch his forehead. “No fever.”

Freezing for a moment, Yan Hao lowered his head to turn on his light brain, opened the campus network of the Federal University, went to the student information query column, entered his student ID number, and a series of information popped up: Yan Hao, third year, Class 1 of the Mech Building Department, the Federal University.

His mind buzzed. Was he really in his third year? But he didn’t remember attending any final exams. Wait…..

“Have you realized it now?” Old Pang handed a bottle of water to his little disciple considerately.

Unscrewing it, Yan Hao took a sip. “I’ve been so focused on researching the phantom spirit stones this year that I didn’t realize how quickly time has passed.”

Yan Hao had started researching phantom spirit stones since the start of the second semester of his second year, and from their collecting to the researching of the way they could be used, it had taken almost half a year, then once he confirmed the effects of the phantom spirit stones, he had been busy upgrading ‘Rebirth’, something which took another half a year. And then in the recent months, he had been assisting Mech Builders from various legions to upgrade their mechs, something which took another several more months.

“Research is like that. Once you stay in the lab, a year would feel like a day, and it will pass without you even noticing it.” Old Pang sighed as he shook his head. “That’s why we old guys end up alone in our old age.”

“Master.” Yan Hao didn’t know what to say for a moment.

“Xiao Hao, let me give you some advice as someone who has been there before. You’re a genius, and of that there’s no doubt, and every minute you spend in the lab is valuable. However you have to remember that apart from being a Mech Builder, you are also yourself. I hope you can have your own life and not just spend it doing research in the lab.” Old Pang’s eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia, as if these words were not only for Yan Hao but also for someone from his past.

“Master, I understand.” Yan Hao nodded, seeming to understand but not understanding at the same time.

“It’s good you understand. Master is still waiting to attend your wedding. You are the only one among my disciples who has a partner.” Old Pang told him.

“None of my Senior Brothers have…?” Yan Hao was shocked.

“Your Eldest Senior Brother had a girlfriend before, and they were almost about to get married.” Old Pang revealed.

“And then what happened?”

“A month before his wedding, he suddenly got an inspiration to break through to being a level seven Mech Builder, and so locked himself in the lab for half a year without coming out.” Old Pang laughed coldly. “Half a year later, when he went to find his girlfriend with his Level Seven Mech Builder Certificate, she was already about to marry someone else.”

“….” Yan Hao felt a chill in his body when he heard this, suddenly feeling a sense of shared distressed, all because the going into seclusion because of sudden inspiration was something he often did too.

Senior wouldn’t marry someone else right?

“Xiao Hao, you should take this as a warning.” Old Pang advised him.

“Master, don’t worry. When Senior and I get married, we’ll definitely not delay and go and register on the same day.” Yan Hao assured him.

“…… That is also not a bad idea.” Old Pang thought about it for a while then gave his approval.
