Chapter 103: Chapter 90: Machine Love Has No Future_2

Although he’s not a mecha pilot,

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang knew that alliance contributions could be exchanged for various national currencies.

Infinite contributions…

meant infinite money?!

Hisss…

At this moment, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang finally fully understood what kind of status their son actually had.

It meant that the whole Planet Blue Star would unconditionally satisfy his needs, using all resources to support him alone!

Counting the second half of his sophomore year, Jiang Chen hadn’t been home for quite a long time.

After discussing the matter, Mother Jiang told him to wait there and called Father Jiang to go out to buy groceries, planning to cook a sumptuous meal to treat their son well.

After leaving the house, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were still marveling.

Father Jiang said with a smile,

“The family group chat is still bragging, discussing who has the strongest talent.”

“Heh, my son is my greatest talent, who can compare with me?”

“Don’t get smug now, it’s me who gave birth to him, what does it have to do with you?”

Mother Jiang cast a glance at him, then whispered softly,

“By the way, do you remember that little girl Jiang Chen brought back?”

“…I’m not senile, didn’t Jiang Chen say that’s the mecha’s mimetic appearance, and her name is Bai Ying?”

Father Jiang laughed.

“Jiang Chen is just twenty, you’re not planning to start pressing for marriage, are you?”

“Brother Li’s son next door is already thirty and claims to be a singlehood advocate, they’re not in a hurry, so why are you?”

“Besides, I heard that mecha pilots have a very long life, the future is a long way off.”

“…That’s not what I mean.”

Mother Jiang shook her head, speaking with a touch of enigma,

“After Jiang Chen’s awakening, I did a lot of research on the internet…”

“You don’t suppose… our son could be into mechanophilia?”

“Pfft!”

Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of water.

Thankfully, the omnipotent Bio-organic Force Field was there, otherwise that spit-take would have taken out at least one wall.

He wiped his mouth, caught between laughter and tears.

Mechanophilia, even mom knows about it; she sure has been doing her internet homework.

Plus, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were unaware that, even though they were speaking quietly, with the attributes of Jiang Chen, Bai Ying, and Yun,

they could still capture their conversation.

Yun, having just been “born” not long ago and busying itself all day with High-Combustion Remix, didn’t have much information fed to it, and it now asked in confusion,

“Lord, what does mechanophilia mean?”

“Mechanophilia means feeling affection for mechas, robots, and other mechanical life forms.”

Bai Ying provided the answer.

She looked at Jiang Chen, hesitated for a second, and then solemnly said,

“My lord, a mecha pilot’s bonded Mecha cannot be replaced. Even if the evolution goes wrong, the bond cannot be dissolved.”

“The authority over Bai Ying has only been temporarily transferred to you, the owner remains the owner—”

“If you wish to develop further, we only have the present; there is no future.”

“…I just spat out water, I’ll go clean up.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Chen rubbed his forehead as he watched Bai Ying earnestly tidy up the housework.

Bai Ying was excellent in every way, except she was a bit too naive.

However, there was another big naive one beside her teaching a smaller naive one. It seemed he thought of some situation and steam helmet’s exhaust vents on both sides suddenly spewed out a burst of steam,

and he stammered,

“L-Lord, if you, if you wish, I can have, have a future with you…”

“…Go watch videos.”

“As you command, Lord.”

Having sent off the two silly mechas,

Jiang Chen finally had some peace and quiet.

He took out his personal terminal and first sent a message to Li Xiao, explaining the matter about his family’s allowance.

However, he didn’t ask to share the infinite allowance.

Instead, he hoped that the alliance would provide his parent with unlimited overdraft services, and he would settle the account regularly with materials or modules.

Jiang Chen knew that if he asked to share the infinite allowance, Li Xiao would certainly agree.

But…

The infinite allowance itself represented the alliance’s support and resource bias towards him, a prodigy. If he insisted on extending it to others, it would seem a bit too greedy.

It would consume precious goodwill and favor.

After all, his parents wouldn’t spend much—

As long as it didn’t involve high-level rare resources for mecha pilots, the value of a single supercharged module would be enough for them to never run out for a lifetime.

Jiang Chen’s message had just been sent out.

Almost instantly, he received an affirmative response.

“The boss isn’t just sitting next to the personal terminal waiting for my message, are you?”

Jiang Chen sighed and opened the communication software.

As soon as he opened it, a flood of unread messages filled the screen.

From college friends to nearly forgotten elementary school classmates he had barely ever spoken to, everyone had sent messages.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen was now extremely quick with his hands, quickly clearing out the strangers without any impressions, replying to friends’ messages, and tidying up everything swiftly—

Since Jiang Chen was quite mindful about propriety and disliked freeloading off others,

even if it was alliance welfare, he would first inquire about what the cost was.

With such a personality, the friends who got along with him and were rather close, also had similar temperaments.

So, there weren’t any shameless characters trying to leech off of him by forceful gear-gifting.

Most of the messages were congratulations, and others seeking advice and guidance from the pro.

Jiang Chen naturally didn’t skimp on sharing this information, sending out the basics of trials and further development experiences, as well as tutorials made public by the alliance forum,

so that his friends could have a smoother start.

However, that one friend who ran a tabletop game shop was quite emotional,

volunteering to downgrade from friend to son, and then quickly to grandson, begging “Grandpa, please reply to my message…”

Only now did Jiang Chen see and recognize the claims of his lost descendants.

Looking further back, after seeing the message content, his eyes brightened.
