Chapter 037: The Night Snow

(TN: This isn't referring to Snow himself, Snow's name is pronounced like Snow while this character is the actual character for Snow.)

That mysterious master had not appeared once ever since his last visit where he left. Lin Yuan liked that master very much. He really wants to see him again, but that person had said, "Recently, I have been very busy with some matters, when you come to the Capital Star, we can have a meal together." Lin Yuan just had to hope that he would be able to enter the top ten to represent the military school and go to the Capital Star to participate in the National Mech Competition.

For the following 20 and some days, Lin Yuan's training became more and more serious and demanding.

After dinner every night, Lin Yuan went to the training room for his daily training with Caesar. After the training, he returned to his bedroom. Lin Yuan habitually logged into the holographic network and played a few games with his master, Small Prince.

The days that pass are both meaningful and merry

Soon enough, Lin Yuan grew familiar with the characteristics of all kinds of mechs under the guidance of Small Prince. Such high-intensity and professional training also made Lin Yuan's operation of mech level rise exponentially in no time at all. At first, the mech operation method he had trained under was only to deal with the military's public admission examination, but now he could easily be considered a professional mech operation master.

Now, he can even draw a tie when he is playing against Small Prince.

Big Prince, Xiwei, appeared on the sidelines a few times while both master and apprentice were practicing in online battle, privately, he asked Caesar: "This Ball is very talented, very perceptive, and has made rapid progress, is he really a beta?"

The person he was in love with was praised by his respected elder brother, this made Caesar feel very good.

Caesar proudly said: "Yes that's right, he is an extremely excellent beta. In the upcoming competition, he is sure to enter the top ten." Caesar paused. "When that time comes, I will go to Cepheus with him to participate in the national finals and introduce him to you?"

Xiwei was very interested in the young beta who his younger brother had taken a fancy to. He smiled and nodded his head as he said: "Alright ah, at that time, you can take along Ball and let us meet. I want to see him, If he can completely captivate you and throw your mind into a frenzy, I want to know what kind of person that small beta is!"

Caesar smiled and said, "I won't let you down."

As the hot topic and the center of their conversation, Ball was still operating mech, unable to extricate his mind from it.

***

A month passed by in the blink of an eye, Caesar was busy with Lin Yuan's training, and Brian was busy renovating Vermillion Bird.

After his afternoon military training, Brian takes Little Blue to the hidden valley and modifies Vermillion Bird according to his previously designed scheme. Because he got the original design of Vermillion Bird directly from his father's hand and Brian loved to disassemble all kinds of mechs from an early age, the process of modifying Vermillion Bird was going very smoothly.

By the end of the month, when the military training was about to end, the weapon equipment and internal neural network of Vermillion Bird had been completely dismantled and stored in the storage warehouse of White Feather.

Vermillion Bird's size has shrunk to one-tenth of the original size. The appearance looks completely like that of the C-class mech. Inside, even the console is that of a C-class mech. Even if the people of the Mech Association check it, they would be unable to find any flaws.

- With this turn of events, Vermillion Bird can be said to have completely gained a new life.

What is even more fortuitous is that its smart center and core structure have not been harmed in the slightest. The benefits of Brian's design can be clearly seen here. Now, it is only temporarily downgraded, if Vermillion Bird wants to rise back up to the S-level, it would just have to have the parts it has now removed and have the old parts loaded back on.

While remodeling Vermillion Bird, Brian used his free time to create a new mech for Snow.

Because Caesar's White Feather is pure white, Brian dyed Snow's mech in light silver color for the sake of distinction. The silver body when it is illuminated shines a sparkling bright white light. While under the light, it showed that it held a lot of beauty.

As for the name...

He is distressed whenever he tries thinking of a good name.

Shortly thereafter, White Feather with its incessant chatter, the completely relegated Vermillion Bird, and the newly-made mech was put back inside their respective space buttons. Brian sat perfectly satisfied riding in Little Blue towards the school.

On the way back, Brian couldn't help but ask: "Little Blue, this mech that I just finished, what do you think about it?"

Immediately after the mech was finished, Little Blue scanned its little brother thoroughly from head to toe, this newly made mech is very different from Brian's previous work. Its volume is small and exquisite while being fairly lightweight and its height is fairly comparable to that of a human. Furthermore, its silver metal armor shines beautifully when illuminated.

Little Blue honestly commented: "Master, it looks very nice."

"I know, it looks very nice." Brian said pridefully: "There's nothing ugly about the mech I made. It's just the name of this mech. I still haven't decided yet. What do you think is better to call it?"

- This incompetent master finally thought of asking for foreign aid to help.

- But don't tell me that you don't think that letting one mech choose the name of another mech is a bit too difficult of a task?

Even so, since the master had asked, Little Blue was very dutiful and responsibly searched for some suitable nouns for the mech in its vast vocabulary library, and then listed them all on the screen and responded seriously: "Master, please kindly refer to these names."

Brian looked at the list of the thousands of mechs names displayed in front of him and was dumbfounded.

Hundun? Shen Gui? Pili? Qiqi?

(TN: Some background information on the names and why they're absolutely horrendous lol. Hundun means Chaos, but it is also used for referring to a formless mass in Chinese mythology that existed before creation. Not a very flattering name. Shen Gui refers to a Tortoise God (from what I know they're usually pretty revered for their longevity), but a lot of results for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles popped up too. Pili seems to be from some puppet show in Asia. It directly translates to something like Thunderbolt which I can't really glean a lot of information on. Qiqi is the Chinese name of Chip from the Disney classic, Chip 'n' Dale, which if you don't know what it is (Neither did I tbh) it is basically about anthropomorphic chipmunk brothers. The Chinese characters themselves just mean strange or weird however which really doesn't help.)

These are all chaotically random, ah! Not one of these from Little Blue sounds good!

Brian bowed his head and meditated for a moment, then smiled and touched his chin and said, "Let it be chosen by Snow... the mech given to him is better off being named by himself, lest I choose a name he doesn't like. "

Little Blue agreed and said:" That's right, Master. If you choose its name, his master would certainly not like it."

Brian:" ...... "

***

By the time Brian got back to school, it was already 11:00 p.m., At the moment, Snow was currently still experimenting in the lab.

These days, after being in the library repeatedly reading through the available documents and data, Snow finally thought of a new formula for his medicine, he replaced some of the banned drug components in the inhibitor with conventional drugs and can temporarily replace the inhibitor effect after synthesis.

Snow made use of the instruments in the independent laboratory that Shirley-xuejie applied for to make these new inhibitors. Today, it is just the last step. Watching the new inhibitors finally finish, Snow finally breathed a sigh of relief.

(TN: There is not a good English counterpart for a female senior schoolmate.)

The transparent injection fluid was covertly taken and placed into his pocket, and Snow turned around to depart from the lab.

When he came out of the lab, he saw Brian walking to the side of the path.

Brian's perception is extremely good and Snow hadn't had time to hide. His vision immediately locked onto the target, his eyes shone brightly as he smiled and said: "Snow, how come you're here?"

"......" Snow had to take a few slow breaths and he calmly said: "I just went to the lab to do an experiment."

Brian did not doubt why a first-year student would be doing an experiment. The so-called different trades, worlds apart. He didn't have an inkling how the medical division handled things. He also just assumed that Snow was doing scientific research with his classmates.

Brian took the initiative to hold Snow's hand and asked: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat a quick nighttime snack?"

This whipped guy is taking the initiative to hold hands and intimately clasp all ten fingers...

Snow's heart felt a bit strange, however, his face stayed perfectly frozen. He faintly whispered: "En, by chance I'm a bit hungry."

Brian, who gained Snow's agreement, immediately clenched his hand with excitement and his voice became gentle. "Let's go, the dining hall is still open. I heard that the third floor is very good, I'd like to eat with you."

Brian took Snow's hand and walked in the direction of the dining hall. When he walked to the door, he saw two familiar figures - Lin Yuan and Caesar, who had just completed his mech training.

When Brian saw them, they took the initiative to say hello: "Hey, what a coincidence, did you guys also come to eat late at night?"

Caesar nodded. "En, we just finished up with some mech training. When you're hungry just do as one pleases and eat as you wish."

Lin Yuan standing next to Caesar, curiously glanced at the hands that Snow and Brian were holding together. Snow's ears were red, and immediately shook off Brian's hand and walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "That competition is in two days isn't it? How is your training going?"

Lin Yuan smiled and scratched his head and said: "I feel that I can do it, the mech operation aspect is getting easier. I just don't know how strong the other contestants will be, I hope I can enter the finals."

Snow said seriously: "I think you can have a little confidence in yourself."

Lin Yuan laughed and said: "En, I will try my best."

As the two people spoke, they naturally walked side by side into the dining hall together.

Brian: "......"

Caesar: "......"

Once again, the two alpha bum beetles who were forgotten behind them had no choice but to begrudgingly look at each other and turned to catch up with Snow and Lin Yuan's footsteps.

(TN: Shadows, lurkers, or just a general term for people who get left behind in the dust.)

***

One month of military training officially ended yesterday. The school specially gave the entirety of the military students two days off to rest and revise in preparation for the following benchmark assessment as well as the military mech competition.

Since the whole student body received a holiday at the same time, there is an unusual insurgence of people who go to the dining hall to eat late at night. They gathered together in twos and threes. Many of people there are dormitory roommates grouped together for a communal meal. There are also many first-year students who invite the male and female senior students out to eat in order conveniently inquire about the content in the military drills and exams.

The cafeteria on the third floor is just like a festival, it's very lively.

Lin Yuan and Snow had just walked up to the third floor. Brian immediately walked over and looked for a good position by one of the windows. He slid out a stool and let Snow sit down on it, he smiled and said, "You guys take a seat, I will get some food to eat. "

Lin Yuan very bluntly:" I can get it myself, I'm sure you'll take things I don't like to eat. "

Brian:" ...... "

Lin Yuan took a plate and excitedly ran, Caesar naturally followed Lin Yuan away, Brian without a better option looked expectantly towards Snow.

Snow glanced at him and said faintly: "Help me get a glutinous rice cake and a bowl of rice porridge. I am not very hungry. I won't be able to sleep well if I eat too much at night."

Brian immediately smiled and nodded. "Alright, I know!"

Brian turned and walked away, with a joyous expression to help Snow get his late-night snack, Snow even thought that if this whipped guy had a tail, it would certainly already be wagging.

Snow's heart couldn't help but feel a little funny...

But inexplicably, it seems that there is actually such a sincere person who is truly good to himself, that seems to be right?

Brian quickly brought back the plated food, two glutinous rice cakes, two bowls of rice porridge, the exact same "Couple Package."

Snow felt somewhat helpless when he made contact with Brian's "seeking praise" eyes. He took the plate in his hand and said, "Thank you."

Brian sat next to Snow, he smiled as he said, "Do you really like glutinous rice cake? I will eat it too, and I will find the opportunity to hand make one for you in the future."

Snow: "......en."

Ignoring the inexplicable burst of warmth that suddenly explodes in his hearty, Snow puts all of his attention on the food in front of him.

Is Brian personally making a glutinous rice cake with his own hands? Somehow, the thought unexpectedly makes him look forward to it

Lin Yuan and Caesar soon came back. Lin Yuan's plate was an especially magnificent sight. Various kinds of pastries were all taken by him. The presence of every single kind of pastry all at once gives out an intimidating demeanor.

Brian looked at his closely packed plate of food amassed into mountainous pile and was shocked: "Are you done getting food?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I'm done getting food, I practiced all day today, I am starving to death."

After that, he no longer paid Brian any mind, stuffing his face into the mountain of food, his mouth was constantly flying open and close, he resembled a starving and spoiled little animal as he ate each pastry piece after piece. All of the food piled up onto the plate was rapidly devoured by him in half an hour.

Brian: "......"

Has he had not eaten well for several days?

Caesar is very calm, apparently accustomed to seeing such a scene, unexpectedly, Caesar's eyes while watching Lin Yuan eat were very soft and tender, occasionally he would pick from his own plate to give him the food he likes...... not afraid to support this guy's wild eating habits!

As today's facts have proved, Lin Yuan is simply an eating champion. He never fully understood the concept of "eating until you burst" until now. He had eaten so many things, yet it didn't change his face. On the way back to the dormitory, he still 100% energetically discussed the mech competition taking place in two days time with Caesar.

Brian really admired this and wished to prostrate himself at his feet.

***

When the four returned to the dormitory, it was almost twelve o'clock, but the next day was a holiday, so everyone was not in a rush to sleep and returned to their bedroom to busy themselves around.

Brian knocked on the door to Caesar's bedroom and handed back a red and white space button to him.

White Feather that finally returned to it's master's hand immediately screamed excitedly: "Master Master! The modification of Predecessor Vermillion Bird has been completed. It has now become C-class. The parts that have been removed from its original body are all in my storage space, I will keep those parts of its body safe!"

Caesar: "......"

White Feather continued to prattle on: "Also! Also! BriBri made a new mech, the silver model is truly beautiful! "

(TN: White feather said the first character of Brian's name twice (BuBu) as a cutesy nickname.)

White Feather finished all the words that Brian had wanted to say. It had saved Brian the trouble. He turned back to Caesar. "As White Feather said, Vermillion Bird has adapted to its new form and was put in your space button." If you get ahold of the top three prizes and then drop in the Vermillion Bird, the Mech Association should not question it, even if they create an investigation, they won't be able to find a problem."

Caesar nodded and patted Brian's shoulder. "You've worked hard."

Brian waved his hand: "You're welcome."

Caesar paused and asked: "White Feather said that you made a new mech?" Is it going to be given to Snow?"

Brian was a little embarrassed. "Well... do you think he would like it?"

Caesar thought about it: "If you made it yourself, then he should like it."

Brian smiled. "I also think he will like it too!"

***

As Snow entered the bedroom, he turned and locked the door. He then took out the new type of inhibitor injection from his pocket and pulled a 5 ml disposable syringe out of the drawer. The inhibitor was injected into the cyan veins on the back of his hand.

The familiar pain of the needle piercing the skin caused Snow to frown slightly, the drug was quickly injected. Snow dropped the syringe and carefully locked the remaining inhibitors in his drawer.

The formula of this batch of inhibitors had changed multiple ingredients, he doesn't know for sure how well it will work. He hopes to achieve the expected results. If this test batch is successful, it only needs to be injected every three months, which is simple and convenient.

Snow gently exhaled, just as he was going to take a shower, he heard a knock on the door.

When he got up and opened the door, he saw Brian who was standing just outside the door, Snow asked in confusion: "Do you need something?"

Brian smiled and said, "Can I come in?"

Snow was silent for a moment and opened the door and he came in.

Brian took out a necklace from his pocket, there was a rhombus-shaped pendant dangling from the silver necklace.

Snow asked: "What is this?"

Brian had a cautious facial expression as he carefully lifted Snow's hand and gently placed the necklace in the palm of his hand and whispered: "This is a space button with a mech inside. I made it myself, this is a present for you......"

Snow: "......"

Brian nervously spoke: "We have been together happily for a month and I have never sent you a gift. I don't know what you like and I can only make mechs. With that in mind, I specially designed a healer-type mech for you."

"......" Snow was silent for a while before he calmly asked: "Can you call it out for me to see?"

Brian immediately nodded: "No problem!"

Brian quickly pulled the silver mech out of the space button.

Snow looked straight ahead at the lithe mech that was just a little bit shorter than him by a few centimeters. The flowing smooth body contours made it look like a slender human. The silvery metals luster had a faint glow under the light. The face was another level deeper, there were the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth on its face. The eyes especially shone gently like two lanterns.

The design of the entire mech is very delicate, it obviously took a lot of thought.

Snow's heart suddenly welled up with warmth.

Is this his...... special mech tailored specifically for himself?

The height and shape of this mech look really pleasing to the eye, it was standing by his side like a thoughtful assistant.

For as long as he could remember, he had never received any gifts. So especially at this moment, receiving such a valuable gift, Snow did not know what to do.

He did not expect that the alpha he had chosen would be so loving to himself.

Snow's mood was a bit complicated. After a long time, he asked softly: "What is its name?"

Brian, who was titled incompetent, embarrassedly scratched at his golden hair in tufts, he smiled as he said: "As for the name of the mech, I hadn't decided it yet. From now on you will be its master, wouldn't it be better to let you name it?"

Snow thought about it and said, "I just so happened to be born on a night during a lot of snow very late into the night. My father named me Snow. It should also be related to snow. This mech should be called Night Snow, meaning 'the snow in the night', can that work?"

(TN:夜雪= Ye Xue = Night Snow/斯诺= Si Nuo = Snow)

Brian immediately nodded: "Yes! It can! It great that you like it!"

- Compared to the name of Little Red and Little Blue, Night Snow is much more firm and pleasant to hear, Snow is far more talented than I am in the naming department.

Brian enthusiastically launched the mechs intelligent system and greeted Snow. "Come take a look at it."

The indicator light of the mech installed in its eye quickly lit up, Snow walked in front of it and softly asked: "Your name is Night Snow, alright? I am Snow, I will be your master in the future."

The mechs resetting system had finished and it made a nod towards the Snow, saying in a cold and faint voice: "Alright, Master."

He doesn't know how Brian designed the audio system. The cool tone of this smart mech is very similar to that of its master, Snow. It is truly tailor-made.

Snow couldn't help but suddenly smile. He reached out and touched its head and said gently. "Very well behaved."

"......"

Brian looked directly at it.

It was his first time seeing such a relaxed smile on Snow's face. It was like the snow in the winter suddenly melted. Snow's smile was really...... so, so beautiful......

When there was suddenly no reaction behind him. Snow turned back and saw Brian standing there in a daze.

Snow walked up to him and whispered, "Brian."

Brian came back to his senses, "......ah?"

Snow said, "Thank you."

Then, Snow gently picked up his feet and took the initiative and planted a quick kiss on Brian's lips

Brian: "....................."

The soft touch on his lips was gone almost as quickly as it appeared.

Brian, whose brain experienced a massive shutdown after being kissed, suddenly froze in place and became a statue.

Snow looked at the whipped guy currently in a daze and was embarrassed about the action he had just done. He quickly turned and said, "I am going to take a shower. Go back first. Go to bed early, good night."

It wasn't until Snow's figure disappeared in front of him that Brian had come back from the heavens and he still touched his lips. It was Snow's fresh, cold smell that seemed to remain on his lips...

Listening to the sound of the water in the bathroom, Brian's heart felt a burst of uncontrolled desire well up.

The eyes of Night Snow flickered for a while, seeing Brian still staying in the same place and refusing to go, it finally began to get around to enforcing it's master's orders. It began to speak with a cold and faint voice: "Master asked you to go back first, sleep early, good night."

The high-intelligence mech had made a judgment on Snow's order, but the person in front of it apparently did not follow this order. The mech automatically executed the master's task and wanted Brian to "go back."

Brian was angry and said: "Hey, you are the mech I made, are you going to chase me out?"

Night Snow said faintly: "My master is Snow."

Brian: "......"

Night Snow said: "Go back, good night."

Brian: "......"

So then, that evening, Brian was shoved out of the door by his own mech.

The author has something to say: BriBri was kissed by Snow for a fool, hahahaha, light some candles!

Before opening a new copy of the data sheet copy, you must first get out the SnoSno's mech, the name of the Night Snow orz... I think it is at least a little more creative than Little Snow.

(TN: Author referred to Snow by repeating his last character in his name twice. (NuoNuo))
