Moonlight Forget-Me-Not (1)
---After Shen Zhifan went back home, his restless heartbeat slammed around in his chest violently.
He tried to think back on his actions and recall if he did anything particularly impolite. After thinking about it for a while, aside from having been a little startled, everything else seemed fine.
Yan Shuo had always worn formal attire when appearing in front of people, so this was the first time Shen Zhifan saw him in pyjamas, with a somewhat languid appearance. With his black nightgown casually draped over him, as well as his drowsy eyes, unexpectedly, there was a particular kind of sensuality...
Shen Zhifan didn’t know why his face was red again.
However, he soon didn’t have the time to daydream about the male god, since a more pressing matter appeared.
“Brother,” Shen Zhirou ran over with small steps, a phone in her hands. She seemed very worried, “The manager of Battlesquad V just called, he said the new season is starting next month and wants you to go back for training next week.”
Shen Zhifan wrung his hands while remaining silent, but his eyebrows were pinched.
“How about...” Shen Zhirou watched her brother’s expression, “How about we just go see a doctor as soon as possible? If nothing can be done, so what if we tell Battlesquad V? This is you getting sick, it isn’t our fault!”
He didn’t know why, but Shen Zhifan seemed to have a subconscious resistance to seeing a doctor. However, they had no choice and couldn’t tarry over this amnesia that seemed to have no cause. After thinking about it, he still booked an appointment with a family doctor.
With that completed, he began to hesitate about whether he should tell the truth to the manager.
“No, let’s not say anything yet,” He shook his head, pulling out the contract that had been signed previously. “If we tell them, this season’s competitions might be cancelled, and instead of expiring in September next year, the contract will continue for another year...I’ll try to recover my memories first.”
However...Shen Zhifan wrinkled his brows. There was always a feeling in his heart of not wanting to show weakness to this manager. He didn’t know if it was because their original relationship was only so-so.
Thinking of this, he went upstairs. Going online, he entered the virtual match-up.
The mech league was extremely popular, and it could be said that it was currently the hottest topic around. Otherwise, Shen Zhifan’s own popularity wouldn’t be this high even though he didn’t do advertisements.
Constructing a mech was very expensive, and it was impossible to attain one out of interest alone. However, the mech league had the two choices of both real and virtual battles. Virtual battles were similar to holographic games as they were easier and quicker to get started and could be done at home. Anyone who had an interest could freely use it.
Of course, the higher-level real mech battles were even more brilliant. Usually, they were occupied by extremely popular battlesquads, with hundreds and thousands of celebrity contestants emerging endlessly.
Each season dredged up a huge sum of money and the most outstanding contestant would be recruited by the empire, with boundless prospects.
Shen Zhifan was temporarily the most impressive contestant.
The reason why his status was ‘temporary’ was that this spotlight was always quick to change. Besides, the way Shen Zhifan was currently, he didn’t know how things would go in the future.
He sighed deeply and decided to start from the beginner stage of the virtual battles.
Even though they were virtual battles, there were still so many modes that Shen Zhifan’s eyes got a little blurry looking at them. They were mainly divided into light mech mode and heavy mech mode. Light mechs were light and thin, but not too light either, although it was known as a mode that was easy to start with. Shen Zhifan quickly clicked into the novice district of light mech mode and in order to stay inconspicuous, he chose the team competition.
The system in Shen Zhifan’s home was naturally the newest of its generation and so the holographic mode quickly activated. His vision darkened and in the next moment, he appeared in a pure white room.
Though this wasn’t the first time Shen Zhifan had tried out holographic games, N-192 had been very backward, and even though it wasn’t hard to get holographic game cabins, that type of design had been very widespread at the time. It was simple and crude, with a lack of realism.
Shen Zhifan was now standing inside the light mech. It seemed to be just a metal skeleton that covered his body. He stretched out his palm; this degree of realism really made him come to terms with the level of his own prosperity.
If it weren’t for this battlesquad V’s pressure, he probably would have been even wealthier.
Soon, two more people entered the room in succession. Since they were teammates, he could see their appearances through the mechs on screen.
Shen Zhifan had chosen novice mode 3v3, there were ten minutes for him to prepare.
“Ai, why are you anonymous?”

“Ai, why are you anonymous?”
Those two players seemed familiar with the game and were probably already veteran players. Since they were shoulder-to-shoulder as well, they were obviously familiar friends. Seeing that Shen Zhifan was anonymous, they felt very curious.
Anonymous cards were extremely expensive, but most people didn’t need to use them anyway. There weren’t many people who would casually go anonymous, but when they did, their ID would be hidden and their appearance would also be based on a randomised template.
Shen Zhifan was still adjusting to the realistic feel: “I’m a newbie, and I’m a bit shy.”
“Newbie?” One of the bearded men was evidently interested. “How new?”
Shen Zhifan was very honest: “I’ve never touched this stuff before.”
He was new, but his account wasn’t very new.
“Since you’re so new, we’ll carry you. Me and Old Beard are veterans,” The other person with the ID “Huang Family's Great General Manager” was a little blond youth, and seemed quite enthusiastic, “We came to the novice district today to crush some scrubs, hehe.”
His laugh was a little sleazy, but fortunately, these two didn’t have any bad
