After the confession, Yun Xingze originally wanted to go back to the hotel every night, but the research timeline at the research institute was very tight, so he and Luo Wenchuan did not have much “two-person time”.

Luo Wenchuan was a little disappointed in his heart about this, but he endured.

After all, the NCLM semifinals are about to start.

A week later.

In the semi-finals, Xinghai Academy faced last year’s runner-up, Fanyun Military Academy.

No one was optimistic about Xinghai Academy.
Although Luo Wenchuan is still very strong, the core character of Xinghai Academy, Yun Xingze, is not there, and their overall strength is greatly reduced.

In fact, this was indeed the case the first half of the game.
Xinghai Academy was pressed and beaten badly by Fanyun Military Academy, and the situation was terrible.

Watching the team members determinedly struggle hard to no avail, Richard couldn’t help thinking, if only Yun Xingze were there…

Every time Richard placed Yun Xingze in the second round of the individual competition, his hope was that Yun Xingze could bring some pleasant surprises to the game.

If the first two fights are bad, then Yun Xingze will definitely perform a shocking reversal, which will make the audience cheer, and inspire and motivate the members of the Xinghai school team to win subsequent games.

If they performed well in the first two matches, then Yun Xingze’s victory will lay the foundation for Xinghai school team in advance, and there will be no more major suspense later on.

Therefore, in Richard’s heart, Yun Xingze’s importance did not lose to Luo Wenchuan SS+ level strength.

Fortunately, Xinghai Academy’s overall strength was slightly worse than that of Fanyun, the team did not lose their fighting spirit.
Instead, they chose to fight with all their might.

Before the start of the second individual match, after Ke Lei came on the field, his opponent asked, “You’re already beaten like this, do you still want to continue to resist?”

There was a bit of confusion in his tone.

Ke Lei simply looked at his opponent coldly and said word by word: “No matter what, we will not lose.”

His tone was surprisingly firm.

His opponent frowned.
“Is this necessary? Your team’s Yun Xingze can’t come back to the competition.
Even if you lose, it’s not a shame…”

“It’s because he’s not here,” Ke Lei lowered his eyes slightly.
“So we must persist until he returns.”

His opponent did not expect that this group of people to be crazy with fighting all for Yun Xingze’s sake.

And this match also became the turning point of for Xinghai Military Academy vs.
Fanyun Military Academy

Ke Lei beat his opponent and won the game!

Cheers erupted from the audience when Fanyun Military Academy failed to win the match point, and their team’s momentum was suppressed.

The Xinghai school team was neither arrogant nor impetuous, intending to pursue victory.

Soon, Xinghai Academy also won the second team competition.

The audience were all curious – can Xinghai Academy still stage a dramatic reversal, and turn three points into four?

Everyone from the Mecha Research Institute, including Yun Xingze, were also curious.

The current stage of Yun Xingze’s research has just ended.
Because he can’t participate in this competition in person, he could only watch the live broadcast in the research institute.

Because Yun Xingze is a member of the Xinghai Academy, everyone else was also concerned about the fate of Xinghai Military Academy.

When the score tied at 3:3, there was a burst of cheers in the laboratory.

Many people watched the semi-finals with Yun Xingze.
Even Cheng Yuan, Jin Xuan, and several others came to watch.

During this period of time, everyone in the scientific research institute has been helping Yun Xingze and assisting him in his work.
They admire his ability and hope that he can realize his wish to return to the competition.

Yun Xingze’s lips couldn’t help twitching with joy as he watched the broadcast footage cut to his teammates cheering for victory.

The next game is Luo Wenchuan’s third round individual match.

For the first time, Yun Xingze discovered that watching a live broadcast outside the stadium was even more nerve-wracking than participating in person.

However, iLuo Wenchuan will never disappoint.

In the last match, Luo Wenchuan fought a SS-level shadow mecha, and he still created a huge advantage in the game.

In the end, Luo Wenchuan cinched victory in the tenth minute, delivering Xinghai Academy a ticket to the finals!

The audience burst into deafening applause and screams.

In the laboratory, everyone was also sincerely happy for Yun Xingze.

The people of Xinghai Academy were very excited, cheering for the hard-won victory, and embraced each other.

Seeing this scene through the screen, Yun Xingze finally heaved a sigh of relief, showing a relieved smile.

In his eyes, everyone in Xinghai Academy has grown during this time.
It is because of the unbreakable belief in their hearts that they can defeat last year’s runner-up, Fanyun.

In the post-match interview, the reporter asked Luo Wenchuan how he felt and what expectations he had for the final.

Luo Wenchuan showed a rare smile at the camera, and said lightly: “I hope… someone can come back to the game.”

Although the reporter knew who Luo Wenchuan was talking about, he still asked the follow-up question: “What does someone mean?”

“Yun Xingze,” Luo Wenchuan calmly replied.
“Xinghai school team’s main force.
In my eyes, he is also the strongest mecha warrior and mecha master.
He should appear during the NCLM finals.”

The reporter thought that Luo Wenchuan would say, “My boyfriend Yun Xingze”.
He didn’t expect him to answer in such a way.

Perhaps in his opinion, Yun Xingze’s personal ability is far more important than the label of “boyfriend”.

After speaking, Luo Wenchuan nodded politely to the reporter, took a deep look at the screen, and then turned and left.

Even across the screen, Yun Xingze felt that Luo Wenchuan was looking at him.

His heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat.

At this time, Eugene on the side asked Yun Xingze: “Xingze, can you return before the finals?”

Yun Xingze paused.
After thinking for a while, he replied: “My body is almost recovered, and the high amplification amplifier is almost researched… But before that, I want to do one more thing.”

Speaking of which, Yun Xingze looked at Cheng Yuan and said to him, “President Cheng, I may require your help in this matter.”

Cheng Yuan was still reminiscing about the wonderful game just now.
When he heard Yun Xingze say this, his expression immediately became serious.
“Tell me, no matter what it is, I will do my best.”

Tightening his lips, Yun Xingze slowly said his request.

For a long time, the Imperial Mecha Research Institute has been the symbol of a fortress in the Empire.
It has always maintained a high degree of independence in various disputes, never participating in political or other struggles, and only focused on the study of mechas.

Therefore, when Yun Xingze made this request, he felt a little out of his depths.

He thought that Cheng Yuan would not agree easily, or that he might put forward conditions instead.

Yun Xingze had already prepared himself.

When everyone heard what Yun Xingze said, surprise flashed in their eyes.

Cheng Yuan frowned and thought about it for a long time.
Just when Yun Xingze thought he would refuse, he heard him say, “I’m sorry…”

A flash of disappointment flashed in Yun Xingze’s eyes.
Just as he was about to persuade Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yuan continued: “It’s because we didn’t think carefully and didn’t help you with this sooner.
Although the Imperial Mecha Research Institute has never participated in any political-related affairs, but… for you, for all omegas, and for the future of all mechas in the empire, we will break this rule.”

Jin Xuan also nodded vigorously, with a firm look in her eyes.
“Xingze, in fact, when you had an accident, we thought about doing this, but we were afraid that when your identity is exposed, it would affect your research.
So we didn’t raise it for the time being.
Now that the time is ripe, it’s time for us to help you release this breath.”

Yun Xingze stared blankly at the crowd, and finally murmured, “You…are you really willing to do this?” His tone was full of surprise.

“You have done so much for the Mecha Research Institute,” Raising his lips in a smile, Cheng Yuan looked at Yun Xingze and said, “We can’t let you fight alone.”

There was a warm current in his heart, and Yun Xingze felt moved.
“Thank you, Dean Cheng.
Thank you, Professor Jin…”

On the side, Eugene’s eyes were slightly red.
He couldn’t help turn his head to the side and wipe the corner of his eyes.
Then he smiled, and said to Yun Xingze: “The Mecha Research Institute is called a fortress, not only because of our technology… but because of our spiritual inheritance of cherishing all talents.”

His tone was full of pride.

Cheng Yuan said to Yun Xingze earnestly: “However, I expect that you will face resistance from not only the Imperial family, but also most of alphas…”

“I know.” Yun Xingze restrained his expression, and replied seriously, “But I’m not afraid.”

Cheng Yuan couldn’t help laughing at the words, and praised: “Your courage is as admirable as your ability.”

Three days later.

The NCLM finals were rapidly approaching.

In the semi-finals, Jicot Military Academy lost to last year’s champion, Noah Military Academy, ending their journey at the semi-finals.

This also means that the final is Xinghai Military Academy challenging Noah Military Academy.

If Xinghai Academy loses, then Noah Military Academy will defend the championship and win their second consecutive championship.

But if they wins, Xinghai Military Academy will re-emerge as the champion of NCLM after more than ten years of silence, and rise to the top.

With a dark horse on one side and a veteran on the other, the online attention to NCLM has reached an unprecedented height.

However, most people felt that Xinghai Academy had little chance of winning, not only because of their weak overall strength, but also because Yun Xingze did not return to the arena.

In the last round, the battle between the Xinghai Military Academy and Fanyun Military Academy was already very difficult for them.
If it weren’t for Fanyun’s mistakes, then Xinghai Academy would never have been able to enter the finals.

Just when everyone’s attention was attracted by NCLM, and speculating about Yun Xingze’s current situation…

A piece of news suddenly exploded on the hot search:

[The Mecha Research Institute will announce the latest research results – Mental Amplifier.]

As soon as this news came out, it directly blew a hole in the hot searches on all major platforms.

Cheng Yuan announced through reporters that the Imperial Mecha Research iIstitute will hold a technical conference to show the public the connector that can amplify mental power.

One pebble stirred up a thousand waves, and all mecha enthusiasts went crazy.

“Oh my god, did Cheng Yuan invent it? The scientific research institute is too hiddeb!”

“It is indeed the fortress of the empire! It has already developed mental power amplification technology!”

“I really want to go to the conference site, I want to witness this historic moment.”

“What is the amplification factor? Can it exceed 2x?”

“…”

Cheng Yuan personally explained to everyone’s curiosity that the inventor of the amplifier was someone else who would appear at the press conference.

For a time, the whole empire eagerly looked forward to the upcoming press conference.

Even the top officials of the Alliance were alarmed.
They convened and speculated on why the Imperial Mecha Research Institute suddenly made such a big move.
Weren’t they afraid of technology leaks?

If netizens are excited about this news, then the senior leaders of all major mecha companies were completely crazy.

Everyone was calling around, trying to get tickets for the press conference as soon as possible.

They not only want to witness this moment, but also want to meet the big guy who invented this technology.

Qilin Company’s President Liu called Chi Yin and asked, “General Chi, can you take us to the scene?! The person who invented the amplifier must be the big guy you said?”

“This… I don’t know.” Chi Yin said a little embarrassedly.
“On-site tickets may be a bit difficult…”

President Liu hurriedly said: “General Chi, you are so familiar with the research institute, stop joking!”

Chi Yin chuckled twice.
“I will try my best.”

In fact, the research institute has long since cut off contact with Chi Yin.
Regardless of who he called, they.
had shut him out.

But this time it was a big deal, and Chi Yin had to be there.

Using all the contacts he had, and trying all his means, he finally got a ticket.

“Whether the Chi family can turn over, will depend on this one…” Chi Yin looked at the ticket and raised his lips.
“As long as we can get to know the big guy and find a way to get his help, everything will be easy to say.”

At the same time.

Yun Changsheng tried to communicate with Yun Xingze to ask if Yun Xingze could get tickets, but he couldn’t get in touch with him.

“You say, this child, why can’t we contact him at such a critical time?” Yun Changsheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot plate.
“The whole empire, ah no, all mecha companies in the whole interstellar are waiting for the press conference.
Xingze is someone from the research institute, why doesn’t he take the initiative to help us?”

Qin Shuang frowned.
“I’m afraid Xingze is very busy now.
Plus he’s just an intern, and he doesn’t have a title, so he shouldn’t be able to get tickets…”

“That’s right…” Yun Changsheng sighed.
“I hope he able to go to the scene.
Even if he’s just bringing water and tea, he can at least introduce our Changsheng company to the big boss.”
