Adolphus, a name that resonates far and wide.

In an era where mecha are universally admired, top mecha manufacturing masters naturally make frequent appearances in the news on major websites, especially since he is also the teacher of two manufacturing geniuses.

After the guests introduced themselves at the Ancient Tree Garden on Fumeng Star, Chu Zhao revealed that he was Ludwig's senior, and the Star Network was flooded with in-depth digging into the resumes of these three people.

Even if Wen Shumu didn't know much about Adolphus, he had at least heard of him because of Chu Zhao and Ludwig.

Under Anita's guidance, Wen Shumu quickly became familiar with his work process, which, simply put, involved watching matches with the master and fulfilling all of the master's needs.

He changed into his staff uniform, a black long-sleeved shirt with a blue vest, and waited with Anita at the VIP entrance for Adolphus's arrival.

[Mumu really came to work.]

[How come these ordinary clothes look pretty good on him?]

[Because her face is so pretty! So cute and youthful!]

[Young master is experiencing life; it would be embarrassing if he didn't do well.]

[Some people just seize any opportunity to cause trouble. Hosting a master is already a difficult job, and besides, it's only Mumu's first day; it's normal for her to be unfamiliar with things.]

Go for it, baby!

Perhaps sensing that Wen Shumu was a little nervous, Anita told several jokes, which were all quite lame, but Wen Shumu still laughed a few times out of politeness.

Anita suddenly fell silent, tugged at his sleeve, and took a few steps back to make way for the middle-aged men in suits.

"The one in the khaki suit is the deputy director of the Federal Mech Administration, the bald one is the chairman of the league organizing committee, the fat one whose buttons are about to pop open is the director of Narentis Star TV Station, and that smiling one over there is our reception team leader..."

Anita quietly explained, "When the masters arrive, they will be the ones to greet them. We will just follow behind. We will only need to appear when it's time to watch the match."

Wen Shumu nodded slightly, thinking that it made sense. The organizers couldn't possibly entrust the task of welcoming the renowned interstellar manufacturing master to just the two of them.

After waiting for about five minutes, a white aircraft slowly landed.

The group of leaders in suits visibly became serious, their eyes fixed intently on the aircraft.

After the aircraft came to a stop, one foot touched the ground first, wearing... sneakers.

Above that was a pair of light blue jeans and a clean white T-shirt, and an excessively young face, looking only eighteen or nineteen years old, about the same age as Jiang Hong.

Everyone: ? ? ?

The young man was so startled by the stares of so many people as soon as he stepped out of the aircraft that he froze and almost lost his balance.

"Cough cough..." A coughing sound came from behind, and the young man quickly turned around: "Teacher, please slow down."

Wen Shumu turned his gaze to Adolphus, who was being helped off the aircraft.

Adolphus is 53 years old this year, which is still considered a prime age in this day and age, but he looks haggard, with dark circles under his eyes and a thin build. It seems that any mech combat team member could easily lift him up with one hand.

The leaders stepped forward, and the deputy director gave a polite smile: "Welcome, Professor Adolphus."

"Cough...cough...cough..." Adolphus waved his hand and opened his mouth to cough violently, so much so that the deputy director could not continue his long welcoming speech.

He finally found a gap and managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Professor, please take care of your health. This way, please."

The large group escorted Adolphus toward the VIP lounge.

Upon arriving at the magnificent lounge, there was a flurry of handshakes and photos. If Adolphus hadn't been hunched over and coughing so violently, and if the leaders hadn't been in a hurry to attend the opening ceremony, they probably would have spent much longer exchanging pleasantries.

Wen Shumu stood silently in the corner, while Anita chatted with the young man who came with Adolphus.

From their conversation, Wen Shumu learned that the young man was Shi Yi, a new student of Adolphus University and a second-year student in the Department of Manufacturing. He had come out with his professor to broaden his horizons.

After the leaders left, Wen Shumu slowly stepped forward, intending to pour Adolphus a cup of tea.

The lounge was so big that before he even reached Adolphus, the man who had been hunched over suddenly straightened up, strode briskly to the sofa, sat down, crossed his legs, and took out a cigar to smoke leisurely.

Wen Shumu: "..."

Weren't you coughing really badly just now? How come you're all better in an instant?

He stood there for a while, but still felt that out of politeness and to fulfill his responsibility as a host, he should go and refill the tea.

Thinking of this, Wen Shumu deliberately made his footsteps louder, which indeed attracted Adolphus's attention.

Adolphus squinted, sizing up the staff member who poured him tea.

"You..." After looking at it for a long time, Adolphus managed to squeeze out a single word.

Upon hearing him speak, Wen Shumu took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, my name is Wen Shumu, I am a staff member here, and the lady over there is named Anita. If you need anything, just tell me or Anita."

Adolphus picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly asked, "Do you know Ling Suyu?"

This question completely baffled Wen Shumu; how did it suddenly bring up her brother?

"I know him," he answered truthfully. "He's my husband."

"Cough cough cough cough..." Adolphus seemed to have choked on water, coughing loudly and much more genuinely than he had in front of the leaders earlier.

After finally finishing coughing, he patted his chest to calm himself down: "It really is you! I knew you looked familiar, and we even have the same name. I've seen a bit of your show too. How did you end up working here?"

It seems Adolphus didn't watch yesterday's live stream.

Wen Shumu scratched his head: "The production team said that the guests could come to the league to work and get free accommodation, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to experience it."

"After you experience it, you'll find that working really shortens your lifespan." Adolphus leaned back on the sofa and exhaled smoke. "When you're working, you're bound to go crazy; the difference is how crazy you are."

Wen Shumu: "...Is it still possible to leave work now?"

His words made Adolphus laugh out loud twice, which attracted the attention of Shi Yi, who was talking to Anita. He rarely saw the professor laugh like that.

Wen Shumu remained silent for a moment, then looked up and saw Anita pointing to the hanging clock on the wall.

Jiang Xun's face appeared on a virtual screen to the side, and the grand theme song began to play, indicating that the opening ceremony was about to end.

He understood and said to Adolf, "Professor, the game is about to start, you can enter now."

Adolphus stood up, twisted his neck and swayed his waist to loosen his muscles: "Let's go! Let's watch the game."

Anita and Shi Yi quickly followed and accompanied Adolphus as they walked out the door.

"Who wants to hang out with those old guys? It's better to be with young people; we have common ground," Adolphus sighed.

Anita and Wen Shumu exchanged a glance, both trying to suppress their laughter.

So this is what the master is like in private.

Adolphus glanced at the signs in the corridor, picked a direction, and walked straight there.

Anita quickly said, "Master, you've gone the wrong way. The match-making is this way; the direction you're going is for the competition."

Adolphus didn't stop or hesitate for a moment, continuing to walk forward, waving his hand and saying, "I just want to see the match."
