Chapter 39.1 - Encounter
Mo Han grew up with his father and met a lot of rich kids whose parents were in the business world. Most of them can talk to him about business and stocks, but few understand guns. People like Mr. F who’re familiar with all kinds of firearms with actual combat skills are rare.
Frank and Kathleen’s skills aren’t strong either. They both learned from Mo Han, which is part of why their team was not able to clear nightmare mode before. Ever since Mr. F joined, playing nightmare mode has become incomparably easy – he can domineeringly sweep a bloody path within a zombie horde, and can also calmly snipe and blow up the target’s head. No matter how chaotic or dangerous the scene is, Mr. F always handles it with ease, which made Mo Han admire him all the more.
This is his first time admiring a peer, so Mo Han really wanted to see what kind of person Mr. F was.
Mo Han hates beating around the bush, and prefers to deal with things simply and straightforwardly. As such, he directly asked the other party to meet without any entanglement.
After logging off, Mo Han dialed Frank’s communicator and said, “Next weekend, I plan to go to St. Romia Military Academy. Do you and Kathleen have time to accompany me? Mr. F is a student there, and I want to meet him in reality.”
“Meet a netizen?” Frank was quite surprised. “Why do you suddenly want to meet him? Aren’t you very wary of people? What if he approaches you for…”
“No.” Mo Han interrupted the other party, and said confidently, “I believe my own eyes. Those who approach me in school usually do so because of the Mo family, but this person is different. He is from a military family, and his family does not do business, so the Mo family has limited value for him. Besides, you were the first to know him, and he didn’t come for me.”
“But you’ve only known him for half a month. There’s no need to meet so early?” Frank was still not at ease.
Mo Han explained: “My graduation thesis has already been submitted for review. After the review committee approves it, I will start preparing for my graduation defense next month and my schedule will get very busy. It just happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I thought of meeting. It was not an impulsive decision.”
Frank was silent for a moment, scratched his head, and asked, “Mo Han, I’m asking you a question, don’t be angry!”
“Senior, ask.” Mo Han smiled.
Frank asked cautiously: “Could it be that you are in love with this person?”
Mo Han: “…”
His heart skipped a beat, but Mo Han quickly denied it. “Don’t joke with me. How could I like a system face.”
No one likes the system face, right? After all, they’ve seen too many.
Frank touched his nose in embarrassment. He knew the possibility was slim, but Mo Han’s behavior was too unusual.
Ever since he’s known Mo Han, various people will often give Mo Han gifts to express their affection. Mo Han has never been tempted once.
Mr. F is the first person he’s wanted to meet. Does this mean that Mo Han has a special affection for this Mr. F?
For example, a little appreciation and a little liking?
Taken aback by his thoughts, Frank immediately stopped his absurd analysis, and said with a dry smile: “Hahaha, just pretend I didn’t ask. I’ll come with you next week, but Kathleen is busy with club activities and might not be able to go. How about calling Iman? Iman must like these types of occasions very much.”
“Sure,” Mo Han nodded.
Iman is an expert at adjusting the atmosphere, so things won’t be awkward at least.
After finishing the call, Mo Han left a message to Mr. F in the game: “Saturday at 18:00, Milan Court restaurant outside St. Romia Military Academy, private room No. 4 on the second floor.”
Luo Fei replied quickly: “Got it, I will see you there.”
***
The rules of St. Romia Military Academy are extremely strict, and non-students are generally not allowed to enter the school grounds. There was nothing wrong with Mo Han making an appointment outside the school though.
There are seven days until Saturday, and it happens that the special training for freshmen will end next week. He will be able to meet Mo Han in his handsome military uniform soon.
Luo Fei couldn’t help being excited.
He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep, so he dialed Luo Ning’s communicator, and asked excitedly: “Xiao Ning, I met Mo Han in the game based on the information you provided, and we played together for half a month. Mo Han offered to meet me and said he wanted to make friends with me. This means he has a good impression of me, right? Do you think he saw how handsome I was in the game with a gun and liked me?”
While yawning, Luo Ning asked lazily, “Brother, what time is it?”
Luo Fei looked at the time, suddenly feeling embarrassed: “1:30 in the morning.”
Luo Ning said: “You woke me up in the middle of the night just to ask me if Mo Han fell in love with you?”
Luo Fei: “Uh…”
Luo Ning gave him a blank look: “If there’s a next time, I’ll pack and send all the dark history materials from your childhood to Mo Han.”
“I was wrong!” Luo Fei immediately apologized. “I was just too excited and wanted to find someone to share my joy with. You’re the only one who knows about this, so…”
Luo Ning smiled slightly, and said, “From your description, Mo Han should have a crush on you.”
“Really?” Luo Fei’s eyes lit up.
Luo Ning nodded: “Well, based on what I’ve learned in school for half a month, Mo Han is the male god in the hearts of many juniors. He has a cold personality and is not easy to get close to. He has never taken the initiative to communicate with anyone. Even those who pursued him were all rejected by him. Since he wants to be friends with you, it at least shows that you are special in his heart.”
I’m special to him?
Luo Fei was so happy to hear this that he wanted to go downstairs and run for two laps. But he should control his impulses early in the morning, lest he be regarded as a lunatic by the instructor.
Luo Ning followed up and added, “However, you have to handle this meeting well, otherwise, he may feel that you’re teasing him, and his impression will directly drop into the negatives.”
Luo Fei immediately sobered up at this. He touched his chin and nodded: “I think so too. Mo Han is very smart. I lied to him before, and I was exposed within a few minutes. This time, I don’t intend to lie anymore, and be honest.”
Luo Ning raised his eyebrows: “Are you going to tell him everything?”
“Of course not,” Luo Fei hurriedly waved his hand. “I’ll just say I found out he was playing this game, so I wanted to check it out. I won’t even mention your name.”
Only then was Luo Ning satisfied. He covered his mouth and yawned, and said, “Then I’m going to bed. Brother, you should go to bed early too.”
After finishing the call, Luo Fei also lay down to rest. Unfortunately, he was too excited and couldn’t fall asleep. His mind was always replaying the scene of teaching Mo Han how to snipe today. He was so close to Mo Han, hugging him gently from behind, and almost held Mo Han in his arms.
He really hoped that time would stop forever at that moment, so that he could hold Mo Han all the time and never let go.
***
When he woke up the next day, Luo Fei was refreshed, but Ludwig, who came out of the opposite bedroom, looked exhausted.
“Did you not sleep well?” Luo Fei was concerned.
Ludwig rubbed the center of his brows, and his voice was hoarse: “En, I didn’t go to bed until 2:30 last night.”
Luo Fei knowingly asked, “Why so late?”
It seems that Iman was so energetic that he broke Ludwig.
Sure enough, Ludwig said: “Teaching an idiot how to shoot in the game. After teaching for two hours, their score finally improved from 1st to 5th ring.”
Luo Fei: “…”
Who knows how Iman will feel if he knows Ludwig called him an idiot?
Iman’s mental strength is very high, and he is also a top student like Mo Han. He can almost walk sideways with full marks for mech manufacturing classes. With his IQ, it is impossible for him to still fail to learn sniping after two hours. This is obviously fake.
In order to get along with Ludwig for a longer period of time, he must have pretended to be stupid and didn’t know how to learn.
Iman really is something. If he really likes Ludwig and wants to pursue Ludwig, Luo Fei estimates that this roommate will have a headache.
Such a vigorous omega, ordinary people can’t stand it!

Freshman at St. Romia Military Academy ushered in final assessment week. The content learned during the special training period will be tested one by one. Students who fail the assessment need to train for another week, are reassessed, and may be kicked out.
Due to the very strict requirements, and the instructors’ ruthless characters, most freshmen were exhausted. A few, who were not in good physical condition, even fell ill in the hospital.
But for people like Luo Fei and Ludwig who have been trained since childhood, such difficulty is acceptable.
The two successfully passed the assessments one after another, and Luo Fei finally won the first place in the whole grade with full marks in all subjects.
After the special training for freshmen, the school will select outstanding students and reward them. Luo Fei won a prize of tens of thousands.
He grew up in the royal palace, and has never worried about food or clothing. Nor has he ever been short of money, but the money earned with his own efforts carries a different meaning. He wants to use this prize money to buy something. After careful consideration, Luo Fei simply went to the official merchandise store of “Law of the Jungle”.
This game is very popular, and its peripherals are also very impressive. Customized peripherals are also very popular – players can customize their favorite scenes, creatures, game images, and weapons from the game. Luo Fei customized the character model of Mr. F holding a sniper rifle to give to Mo Han as a souvenir.
In this way, Mr. F can be by Mo Han’s side all the time.
The game’s official store is very efficient. The model ordered on Friday was delivered to Luo Fei on Saturday morning. The character model is lifelike and can make various movements and expressions based on voice commands, just like a miniature version of Mr. F.
Luo Fei put it in the box with satisfaction, hoping that Mo Han would like this gift.
