VCRMM: Chapter 350

Yu Sen paused after blurting out the words.

He carefully looked at the middle-aged man next to him. There weren’t many wrinkles on the man’s face, but the calmness and wisdom in his eyes made him look much more mature than his age.

For a person like this, there was absolutely no need to call him Grandpa, especially at Yu Sen’s age.

He felt a bit embarrassed for a moment.

The man in front of him might really look like his grandfather but…

Yu Sen’s eyes glanced at the other person’s thick black hair.

There was no way his grandfather could have hair like that. Ever since he could remember, his grandfather had sparse hair.

However, the moment this thought flashed through his mind, Yu Mingwei slapped him on the head without any hesitation.

“What are you looking at, you little brat?!”

He appeared not to care but Yu Mingwei was actually very sensitive about his hair.

He had been really surprised when he found that he was getting younger and his hair was growing thicker than it had been since he was an adult.

Which of the old men and women in the institute didn’t envy him? Even the young people often looked at him with admiration. He was actually very proud of himself.

Perhaps only the handsome old man, Ding Mingyu, didn’t feel anything. After all, his hair might be white but it was still thick. He was also the first one among them to awaken his elemental talent.

Yu Sen was hit on the head and once again stared at the other person in a daze.

Originally, he just found the facial features similar but this beating of love was even more familiar to him.

“You…”

He looked at Yu Mingwei in a bewildered manner, somehow forgetting the frustration he had felt from the disastrous defeat.

He stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, wanting to believe it but finding it ridiculous.

Yu Sen had a deep relationship with his grandfather.

His parents were both frontline soldiers, so he grew up in his grandparents’ house when he was a child. After his parents died one after another, his grandparents became his support.

After his grandmother passed away, his grandfather became the relative he loved most in this world.

He was heartbroken when he heard the news that his grandfather accidentally died in a fire, but he also understood that this might be a relief for his grandfather, who had been bedridden for a long time and could only rely on drugs to prolong his life.

Therefore, he continued to participate in the competition instead of returning to his home planet immediately.

Of course, there was a bit of escapism in this. As long as he didn’t go back, he wouldn’t have to face such a painful reality.

However, what he couldn’t accept was the slander against his grandfather by those politicians!

He was angry but there was nothing he could do.

This was especially the case after learning that the mecha his grandfather customized for him would most likely be confiscated after he returned home.

This became the last straw that broke the camel’s back. He started to think about defecting, but he was confused about where he could escape to.

He didn’t want to be a star thief, but after he defected, he would definitely become a wanted criminal and no nation would dare to accept him.

Then the Guardian’s identity was revealed, instantly giving him direction.

He really wanted to come to this nation to see how powerful the real Guardian was. As for after seeing him…

He specifically looked into the Roland Empire. His original plan was to escape to the wilderness of this planet after witnessing the power of the Guardian.

According to records, there were a large number of strange beasts in the wilderness of the Roland Empire but the existence of the mecha gave Yu Sen the confidence to survive in the wilderness.

He believed that no one would take such a big risk to hunt him down.

Once the storm passed, he could still live in the cities of the Roland Empire. Even if he needed to live in the wilderness, he would regard it as a form of training.

Perhaps the Guardian was so powerful due to his living conditions?

Yu Sen had a good idea, but reality was always full of surprises.

His mecha was torn to pieces during the match and then… he saw a younger version of his grandfather appear in front of him!

These small gestures, the sound of his voice and the habits of his voice and intonation couldn’t be explained as just being similar.

Dr Yu Mingwei saw his grandson’s wide eyes and shook his head. He felt somewhat helpless, but also felt that this seemed to be a good idea.

In fact, he was also worried about his grandson.

He originally thought they would never have a chance to meet again in his life. Unexpectedly, God sent his grandson to him again.

The universe was so vast. He should really cherish such a rare opportunity.

He glanced at the big screen in the distance, which was replaying the live broadcast of the previous match. Looking at the cheering and excited people, he couldn’t help saying, “The mecha I made for you does have many problems.”

Then he shook his head miserably.

“This is such a tragic loss. I know Roland’s magic is very powerful, but you shouldn’t have lost so badly.”

As a master in mecha development, Dr Yu Mingwei was greatly shocked by this result.

However, he felt that they were beaten so badly because they knew nothing about magic. They might’ve summarized their experience and adjusted their strategies in the following matches, but Roland’s five mentors…

The elemental power used by each one was different!

Moreover, there were ten types of powerful elemental systems that could be combined with different life professions!

Dr Yu Mingwei was really fascinated by it, even beyond his love for mechas.

He was lost in his own thoughts before being interrupted by Yu Sen.

“You… you are…”

He saw the young man’s red eyes, and the shock and disbelief in the eyes that looked very similar to his.

Yu Mingwei sighed, reached out his hand and gently patted his grandson’s head, just like he did when Yu Sen was a child.

“You recognize me, right?”

He smiled kindly. “Yu Sen, I didn’t want to recognize you but I didn’t expect you to be so perceptive.”

Tears suddenly appeared in Yu Sen’s eyes. Finally, he was sure that this was real. He couldn’t help choking up as he said, “This… what is going on? Aren’t you dead? And…”

He looked so young! His hair had grown back!

“Did you have plastic surgery? Was a hair transplant a success?”

He reached out to touch it, but his grandfather slapped his hand away. “How disrespectful!”

Yu Mingwei rolled his eyes at his grandson. Then he explained about his experience and asked about Yu Sen’s recent situation.

Yu Sen hadn’t expected his grandfather’s experience to be so bizarre. After he asked, his grandfather didn’t hide anything and told him everything.

Anger flashed in Yu Mingwei’s eyes when he heard that those people wanted to throw mud at him after his death even without evidence and even refused to let Yu Sen go.

Then he soon calmed down and became completely relieved.

After all, it had been the motherland that gave birth to him and raised him. He might’ve been forced to betray his nation, but he still felt a bit guilty in his heart. Now those emotions had disappeared.

“In that case, you can stay.”

Yu Mingwei patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, “I will go to His Majesty to plead for mercy. If all else fails, you can come to the institute and help me.”

Then he used water healing techniques to treat Yu Sen as his grandson stared in amazement.

Yu Sen, “???”

No, it had only been a year since they saw each other. How come his grandfather changed from a scientist to a magician?

On the viewing platform, Xu Sili had already noticed the grandfather and grandson.

He was quite surprised to find that Yu Sen was in the mecha team and even competed on stage.

There were contestants for so many nations participating in the Genius Competition, but Xu Sili had a better impression of Yu Sen.

He always felt that the name and his appearance was somewhat familiar. This made Xu Sili guess that Yu Sen should be a card character. Perhaps he was an NPC with a special talent.

However, since it was the Star Network, he hadn’t been able to detect any specific information and hadn’t explored it further.

Unexpectedly, Yu Sen came to his door of his own initiative?

Xu Sili cast the Insight technique on him without hesitation to satisfy his curiosity.

[Yu Sen]

[Identity: Special talent NPC.

Profession: Mecha master.

Level: Lv 41.

HP: 114057/124000

Mental strength: SS.

Physical fitness: S.

Special talent: Special instructor (When engaging in training activities, the student’s growth rate will increase by 100%. When engaging in mecha training, the student’s growth rate will increase by 150%).]

Xu Sili was stunned when he saw the pop-up message. He knew that Yu Sen should be a special talent, but he hadn’t expected the talent to be so special.

He was such a good candidate for mentor that it would be a shame not to bring him to Roland!

Xu Sili had always restricted players from stepping foot into the universe, but he didn’t restrict people in the empire from learning about the universe and cultivating related talents.

The chance of an elementalist awakening had greatly increased now, but there were still quite a number of children who couldn’t become elementalists. Xu Sili also had high hopes for these children.

The future of the Roland Empire would definitely be a combination of magic and technology. Elementalists were no longer the only way to rise.

Of course, the idea was beautiful but it still needed to be put into practice step by step. First of all, we need to create a good educational environment.

A talent in teaching like Yu Sen was like a pillow sent to someone who was sleepy!

It was about training activities, but there actually wasn’t much difference between training and teaching, right?

In addition to the mecha masters, the Roland Empire was also in great need of various talents who could use high-tech equipment.

However, what troubled Xu Sili was how to bring such a young mecha master to a ‘remote place’ like Roland to be an instructor.

If he remembered correctly, the nation where Yu Sen was located seemed to be the sixth most powerful nation in the interstellar rankings.

As a result, while he was thinking about these things, Ms Aina completely defeated her opponent.

Xu Sili saw Yu Sen leaving the competition area in a daze and didn’t dare go after him right away. Then he saw the touching scene of the grandfather and grandson recognizing each other.

So, the nation that Dr Yi Minkang belonged to was actually the same nation as Yu Sen?

Xu Sili didn’t leave immediately. He sat in the main seat and used sound elements to eavesdrop on the gossip between grandfather and grandson.

Yu Mingwei’s low level meant he couldn’t detect Xu Sili at all, not to mention that Si Sheng was by Xu Sili’s side.

After noticing his little action, Si Sheng didn’t say anything and just silently released his mental power.

Thanks to his help, even Teacher Huo and the others didn’t notice.

Then Xu Sili happily listened to the subsequent conversation between grandfather and grandson.

So when Dr Yu Mingwei approached him through Dean Ding, Xu Sili agreed without hesitation.

Things went very smoothly.

Dr Yu Mingwei hoped to keep his grandson here and begged for Xu Sili’s consent.

Yu Sen grew up in a research institute and was a mecha master. He could help out and do some basic work, as well as work part-time as a mecha repairman.

Given His Majesty’s thirst for talent, Yu Mingwei felt that His Majesty wouldn’t refuse, even if Yu Sen had a wanted warrant on him.

After all, Yi Minkang and his wife were still wanted.

“Your Majesty Roland, I am willing to do anything as long as I can stay in the Roland Empire with my grandfather!”

Yu Sen felt uneasy facing this silver-haired emperor.

“I heard from my grandfather that the Roland Empire is also developing mechas and needs mecha masters to assist in testing. I should be able to do this job!”

Then he saw the young man shake his head and say to him with a smile, “I wonder if you are interested in another career?”
