In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand sl...

Chapter 298
As soon as the meeting was over, the time to travel to the Silver Moon Galaxy was set.
Everyone at the KID base was having a hard time preparing for the game. As the only coach in the base, Jiang Simiao was responsible for all the important decisions of the coaching team. After staying up all night for many days, he finally adjusted the 24 most important weapons that KID would bring to the Star Alliance Tournament and formulated new tactics for these weapons.
In addition to the 12 new weapons, Jiang Simiao gave priority to these among the 12 old weapons after discussing with various mecha masters.
Huo Yan's counter-damage shield and air shock knife, Ji Qingfeng's illusion ball displacement hook, Lin Yao's space stick gravity gun, Lu Xi's enhanced cannon flying flower cannon, You Su's compressed storm steel cannon, and Ying Chenlin's deep water artillery artillery.
"Has the Green Fire Shield been placed by Shen Lin?" Shen Xingtang asked.
"This is the priority weapon..." Jiang Simiao said, "I will also bring the Blue Fire Shield Spider Silk Cannon and the like just to be on the safe side. If the competition system requires four, I will use these four."
If Jiang Simiao wanted to leave, he had to take all of KID's arsenal with him. On the day of departure, except for one or two maintenance technicians who were left to guard the base, everyone in the KID base set out on the journey to the Silver Moon Galaxy with all their war equipment.
When Ji Qingfeng stepped out of the base, he felt as if he were in another world. "We don't need to take videos to report training during our stay in the Silver Moon Galaxy, right?"①
Huo Yan checked the pre-match instructions sent by Lin Yao's father. Their miserable daily training finally came to an end. "No need. Uncle Lin said he would give us a long vacation. We can deal with the rest after we come back from the game."
Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao were in tears. Once they got rid of Lin Yao's father, they felt like they were reborn and were full of anticipation for the journey to the Silver Moon Galaxy.
The mecha pilot's personal luggage consists of just one suitcase, and all other large combat equipment is carried by the base.
Shen Xingtang also rented a spaceship for the trip. Before leaving, Old Qiu and Shi Qingning also came out to see him off. KID almost always takes the entire team with him every time he goes out, and there are only a few people left in the base. Shen Xingtang briefly talked to Mr. Qiu about some things, and then he took KID and the others away with peace of mind.
Ying Chenlin looked at the man standing with Mr. Qiu, waved to the two of them before getting on the hovercraft, and soon followed the others.
Old Qiu saw the people around him following the hovercraft as it went away. Only when the hovercraft disappeared at the end of the track outside the base did Shi Qingning look away.
"It's a very special feeling, right?" asked Mr. Qiu, stroking his beard.
Shi Qingning: “I can’t tell.”
"The mecha masters of the Mecha Alliance take at least half a month to go out for competitions." Old Qiu leaned on his crutches and looked into the distance. "The Star Alliance Tournament... I don't know what kind of results these kids can achieve."
Shi Qingning looked at Mr. Qiu.
"It's not bad to retire and stay at KID." Mr. Qiu smiled and walked back with his crutches: "Let's go, we have our own jobs too."
Shi Qingning withdrew his gaze, and the image of Ying Chenlin leaving side by side with his teammates emerged in his mind, and he soon caught up with Mr. Qiu.
The journey to the Silver Moon Galaxy was quite long. Jiang Simiao did not relax while on the spaceship. Although he had no time to train, he raced against time to explain weapons and tactical options to KID. He tried his best to summarize the results of KID's training and instilled them into the mecha pilot, along with some information about the mecha pilots of the Star Alliance's powerful teams that Jiang Simiao had investigated.
After arriving at the Silver Moon Galaxy, KID discovered as soon as he got to the hotel that the wealthy SHIELD base not only booked the hotel, but the entire hotel, and all 10 teams participating in the competition from the First Star Region were invited. After checking in that night, the mecha technicians returned to their rooms to adapt to the local environment and schedule of Silver Moon. The head coaches and captains of the 10 teams were all gathered together for a meeting.
As soon as Jiang Simiao and Huo Yan entered the conference room, they were faced with gazes from multiple other bases.
There are 10 teams participating in the First Star Region: KID, Aegis, Gale, Zuy, Jiazi, Ningbing, SPH, Raikage, YOU and Black Crow.
The teams here have either fought against KID head-on or been defeated by KID... This time they have to work together to get through the first stage. Jiang Simiao thought that they would be the only ones talking to SHIELD and the leaders, but who knew that the coaches from all 10 bases were there.
"Hello, Coach Jiang. Please take a seat." The SHIELD head coach greeted him, "This is KID's head coach, Jiang Simiao."
The coaches of other teams all looked over here.
Jiang Simiao: “…”
Facing the complicated looks from his former competitors, Jiang Simiao took Huo Yan to the first seat. Jiang Simiao said hello to the other coaches with a smile, and coughed a few times with a thick face while holding the data board. He was very glad that he brought the tall and strong Huo Yan to the meeting this time.
Otherwise, if the meeting goes wrong and a real-life PK occurs, his tiny arms and legs may not allow him to escape safely from the coaches of other teams who are each 1 meter tall.
At the end of the meeting, Jiang Simiao thought about his future career and whether he should ask Lin Yao's father to customize a private tutorial.
Huo Yan looked at Jiang Simiao after hearing this, and after scanning him from head to toe, he said, "It would be good to practice some leg and foot skills to strengthen your body, but I guess there is no way to grow taller."
Jiang Simiao recalled Lin Yao's height: "...then forget it."
The other mecha masters didn’t know what Jiang Simiao was going through at the meeting. After putting their luggage at the hotel, in order not to affect the training, Shen Xingtang took a few people to the training ground under the hotel for training. When they arrived at the place, there were already many mecha masters there.
At the training match, Swift Wind and Black Crow were also there. The captains of several teams were all in a meeting, so they could only do basic combat training.
Zhao Lejie couldn't help but look in KID's direction during training. Ever since he accepted that sink was the source, he had an indescribable feeling when looking at sink and trace. He could understand that sink was the source, but why did sink wear trace's private clothes to attend the seminar?
Zhao Lejie looked in the direction of Ying Chenlin.
You Su, who was standing next to Ying Chenlin, noticed the sight and looked sideways in the direction of Zhao Lejie.
Zhao Lejie quickly avoided his gaze.
Ying Chenlin noticed the actions of others and raised his eyes slightly to look at You Su next to him.
Theo flashed his light: "You Su."
You Su: “?”
Theo wondered, “Is there something on your face? Shen Lin just looked at you several times.”
You Su tilted his head when he heard that. Ying Chenlin was talking to Lin Yao. While they were talking, he would occasionally glance in his direction, but he would quickly retract his gaze, as if he had just glanced at them casually.
You Su: "So much to say?"
"You must not have shaved cleanly! I'm just reminding you kindly!" Theo said aggrievedly, "I've already talked to Yuan, I won't talk to you."
After a while, You Su asked, "How many times did he look at it?"
Theo: "I won't tell you!"
Zhao Lejie stepped back and stood next to the Swift Gun: "Are Trace's ears red? Damn, I just took a few more glances at his outfit. Is there any need to get so angry that your ears are red?"
Gale Gun: "...? Where is the red? Isn't it the normal skin color?"
Zhao Lejie: “Pointy ears!”
Gale Gun: "..."
The heating is on in this place, and the temperature is alternating between hot and cold. Isn't it normal for your ears to turn red?
How could You Su's ears turn red? That little bit of redness is not even as red as your face, deputy captain.
"Deputy Captain, why do you keep looking at KID?" asked Gale Gunpowder.
Zhao Lejie: "You don't understand."
Gale Gun turned his head to look at Brother Zhang who was chatting happily with Shen Xingtang. Forget about their boss, but could it be that their deputy captain also has a crush on KID and wants to switch jobs?
Everyone quickly found the location of the virtual warehouse. When using the virtual warehouse for online training, Ying Chenlin discovered that several mecha divisions of the YDS team were also there. Only then did he realize that in order to give them more opportunities for actual combat training, Shen Xingtang had made an appointment with the YDS coach for online simulation training.
YDS also hopes that the three Dawn teams can achieve better results in the Star Alliance Tournament this time. For the Dawn Galaxy, which is in urgent need of development, this Star Alliance Tournament is very important. The ranking of the results will determine whether the Dawn Galaxy can shine in the vast Star Alliance arena.
"Thank you." Ying Chenlin said.
Ke Lin: "You are too kind. You are under the greatest pressure this time, so we will help you a little."
"Fight well." Hu Luobu said, "I bought a ticket for the Star Alliance game. If you don't play well, I will beat you up next time."
Ji Qingfeng: "Don't worry, you won't be banned for hitting someone in the arena."
Hu Luobu: "Fuck! Speak properly!"
In a blink of an eye, several days of training in the Silver Moon Galaxy had passed, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the Star Alliance Tournament.
On the opening day of the Star Alliance Tournament, countless Dawn viewers flocked into the exclusive live broadcast room of the Star Alliance Tournament. As soon as they entered the live broadcast room, they saw an unprecedented grand scene. As the highest event in the Mecha Alliance, the main venue of the Star Alliance Tournament in the Nason Bello Polluted Zone has more than ten times the number of audience seats as the Dawn Galaxy Tournament, not to mention the online audience seats where tickets for the live event were not available. Five hours before the start of the game, all the online seats on the Star Network were almost taken up.
The Star Alliance Tournament is a rare team-building opportunity for all the fans in the First Star Region. The fans of the Dawn Galaxy were extremely nervous. Before the Star Alliance Tournament even started, media releases were already flying everywhere. As the only star region in the First Star Region with three teams participating in the Star Alliance Tournament, the Dawn Galaxy had received a lot of attention before this tournament. For example, there were reports of the best results in Dawn's history, and three Dawn teams competing in the Star Alliance Tournament... The media releases were both exaggerated and full of praise for the Dawn Galaxy.
In this situation, the audience of Shuguang is both proud and worried.
[Seeing the Star Alliance stadium, I became even more nervous. 】
[I see a lot of people from other star regions are badmouthing us! 】
[Never mind the business of other star regions, our goal is to set a new record! Don't be stressed! 】
However, all the nervousness ended when they saw KID leading the First Star Region into the venue. Huo Yan, the KID flag bearer holding the team flag, tripped and almost fell forward, scaring the entire star region audience.
Fortunately, Huo Yan just stumbled for a moment, and quickly led KID to line up. The audience found that the originally crooked line was actually neat and tidy this time, and even the raised team flags had been carefully polished. When the entire team walked into the venue, their spirit and state were completely different from that of the Star Domain Competition!
"KID actually spent money to make a team flag!" Hu Luobu in the audience was shocked when he saw this: "And their formation, have they practiced it?"
Colin flipped through the chat history with Qi Sicheng. In the history from a few days ago, there happened to be a video of KID practicing in the hotel corridor. "Why do you think SHIELD paid so many extra days' room fees and called KID from Sirius to the Silver Moon Galaxy?"
Hu Luobu: “?”
Ke Lin: "SHIELD needs dignity, and so does the leader."
At the Star Domain Tournament, all the leaders of the First Star Domain witnessed how unreliable KID was.
Before the competition started, the leaders of the First Star Domain went to the hotel where the mecha divisions were staying. They checked and corrected everything, such as the team flag and the formation. The formation was taught by S.H.I.E.L.D., and the new team flag was made with money paid for by the leaders.
It’s okay to lose face in your own star domain, but you can’t lose face in front of the Star Alliance!
The leaders of the First Star Region on the rostrum watched KID complete the opening ceremony without any danger, and their hearts, which had risen to their throats, calmed down.
After all the teams entered, the mecha operators separated from the maintenance technicians. The maintenance technicians entered the maintenance area and stood by, while the mecha operators had already entered the jump area and were ready to start.
Before parting with the KID mecha masters, Shen Xingtang said, "Fight well and don't feel pressured."
Ji Qingfeng: "Don't worry, Sister Tang, we have three teams of Dawn, if we fall, we still have the Gale and Black Crow to take our place."
Shen Xingtang: "Is there anyone who wants to fall first at the beginning like you?"
"A weak army will win." Lin Yao said, "That's what Dafeng said." ^o^This^o^work^o^is^o^made^o^by^o^
Shen Xingtang worried in vain. Other mecha pilots might be nervous, but the mecha pilots in their team never seemed to show nervousness on their faces. She glanced at Ying Chenlin, who was walking in front and explaining tactics to Huo Yan, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, now that things have come to this, let everything take its course.
On December 18, 1247, at 15:00 local time at the venue in the Nason Bello Polluted Zone of the Silver Moon Galaxy, the much-anticipated Star Alliance Tournament, a new competition system of the Mecha Alliance, finally kicked off. The passionate voice of the Star Alliance Tournament's electronic host appeared in multiple live broadcast rooms on the Star Network. When his voice fell, multiple mechas in the jump zone were ready.
The Star Alliance Tournament entry rules popped up in front of all mecha pilots. At the same time, the rules were also published on the Star Network.
All the spectators outside the stadium suddenly stopped when they saw this competition system.
[Oh shit!] ? 】
[The first round is actually a regional competition system! ? 】
Jiang Simiao squeezed the water bottle tightly, "Sure enough, it's just as SHIELD expected."
[Dear Mecha Master, welcome to the Nason Bello Polluted Zone [Star Alliance Tournament]. This Star Alliance Tournament adopts a two-stage competition system. Now we enter the first stage of the competition. The rules are as follows:]
[Phase One (Regional Competition): There are a total of 50 teams participating in the five star regions, with 10 teams in each star region. During the first phase, we will adopt a regional selection method. In the first phase, 10 local competition areas will be announced, namely: mountains, snow-capped mountains, volcanoes, deserts, forests, oceans, grasslands, snowfields, canyons and residential areas. Each team can freely choose one of the areas to participate in the first phase of the competition. A single star region in each region can participate in up to 2 teams and a minimum of 0 teams. ]
[The maximum number of participating teams in each area is 5. The teams exceeding the number will be assigned to the second selection area according to the selection time. Now all teams are requested to select the first and second areas. Please choose carefully. ]
[Star Alliance Tournament Regional Tournament Promotion Rules: This time, a points system is adopted. The first round of promotion is based on the overall performance of the star field. The star field with the highest accumulated points at the end of the first stage will get more promotion spots. The promotion spots are arranged from high to low in terms of points: 4, 3, 2, 2, 1. Advancement from internal star fields based on points according to different promotion quotas. ]
[The results of all stages of this Star Alliance Tournament are accumulated and not reset to zero. The points of individual teams in the first and second stages are accumulated and are not affected by promotion. ]
[The specific competition system will be announced after selection, and the selection time is 30 minutes. ]
When this competition system was announced, the coaches of several teams in the First Star Domain breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they looked at the system very seriously. The competition system in the first stage mainly examines the combat capabilities of all teams in a single star field. It is very important which team goes to which area, because the number of qualifying places in the second stage depends on how many points a single star field can reach in total.
[Why does this competition system seem a bit strange?] 】
[It is a bit difficult for star fields with weak overall strength. If the accumulated scores of all teams in the first round are not high enough, they will easily lose the qualification to participate in the second stage. 】
"We are now explaining the competition system. The specific competition rules have not yet been announced, but the pre-match regional selection is very important." In the Star Alliance Tournament live broadcast room, the commentator explained the competition system: "As you can understand, in this competition system, each star region can go to different regions to compete after consultation, with the main purpose of earning points. The star region that accumulates the most points in this stage will get multiple places to enter the second stage."
"But this competition system has a catch. The points are accumulated in the first stage, which means that the points accumulated in the first stage can also be used in the second stage. For example, if Team A gets 10 points in the first stage, even if it loses the qualification to participate in the second stage, the points will be accumulated in the final ranking." The commentator said, "Now that the rules of the first stage have not been released, this selection interface is very important. Different choices will lead to different difficulties in each area."
With this kind of competition system, a small number of strong teams in star regions with weak overall strength can quickly accumulate points through small-area competitions to secure a place in the final ranking, but most teams are likely to stop in the first stage, with low accumulated points, and no way to participate in the second stage of the competition.
"This competition system is very similar to what we guessed, but it's a bit strange." Jiang Simiao said: "According to this situation, it is very likely that two mecha teams from the same star field will appear in a single area, which is not optimistic for the team we selected from this area."
"It all depends on luck," said Head Coach Jifeng. "In a sense, this is within the expectations of Head Coach SHIELD. We can avoid internal strife in the first stage... Fortunately, our team in the First Star Region is good at many types of battles."
In the KID communication channel, Ji Qingfeng hurriedly reminded: "Hurry, there is a time limit!"
Huo Yan quickly submitted his choices for the first and second areas. The first choice was the residential area and the second choice was the canyon.
There was a time limit for the selection, and each team in the First Star Region made their choice quickly.
On Starnet, the audience was very worried about the result of this selection, fearing that there would be internal strife in the First Star Domain when the regional groups were formed. As a result, when the regional selection was announced, the team from the First Star Domain was stunned when they saw the result.
KID (residential area), SHIELD (desert), gust of wind (mountain), zuoy (canyon), jiazi (volcano), condensed ice (snow mountain), SPH (snowfield), Raikage (ocean), YOU (grassland), black crow (snowfield).
Except for SPH and Black Crow, all other teams were separated.
The SHIELD coach frowned slightly and said, "Two teams from the third star domain appeared in the forest area. SPH has lost its choice."
SPH, who was originally supposed to choose the forest, dropped to the second choice and went to the snowfield with Black Crow... But it may not be a bad thing. The points may be less, but the situation of Black Crow and SPH should be better.
"Fortunately, we have selected the area we want." Jiang Simiao looked towards the residential area where his KID was, but when he looked at the teams that appeared in the residential area, he saw SLY, the fourth in the last Star Alliance, and CEF4, the sixth in the Star Alliance.
The overall terrain difficulty of the residential area is relatively high, and Jiang Simiao chose this area after careful consideration.
They can understand that the top five teams in the Star Alliance are divided into multiple areas. Generally speaking, they have a one in two chance of encountering a strong team in the top five of the Star Alliance. It’s okay to encounter the fourth team in the Star Alliance, but with the addition of CEF4, the difficulty of this area for them has increased!
There are five teams, except for KID, one Star Alliance is fourth, and one Star Alliance is sixth.
Jiang Simiao's face froze, and he comforted himself that at least he was fourth or sixth, and not a big devil like EM.
Before he could think of a countermeasure, he soon saw the battle system pop up.
[Fuck this competition system!] ! ! 】
[This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of competition system!] ! Awesome Star Alliance! 】
[So exciting.] 】
The leaders sitting on the rostrum were also stunned. They had seen various competition systems, but this was the first time they saw this kind of competition system on the regiment battlefield. They expected the accumulation of team scores between star fields, but they did not expect that the way to earn points would be this kind of competition system.
Jiang Simiao’s eyes went dark and he grabbed Gu Xiaotian’s shoulders tightly.
[Welcome to [Nason Bello Residential Area], this competition adopts a 7-hour 1v1 defense system, and points are accumulated in the form of round-robin battles. All teams draw lots to draw the champion. During the round-robin battle, if the team's cumulative damage to the enemy team's mecha reaches 30%, it will get 1 point. Within 7 hours, the team with more points can choose to continue to defend the championship or change the champion. The team with fewer points has no choice. ]
[During each battle, other teams are not allowed to enter the battle area. During each game transition, the team can go to the maintenance area for combat readiness maintenance or replacement of weapons. ]
When they saw the competition system, KID and the others were silent for a moment.
Everyone was hesitant in front of the draw button. Huo Yan asked, "Who...will draw?"
Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao looked at Ying Chenlin, "How about we make a bet?"
Ying Chenlin: “?”
"Do I smoke?"
You Su: "Go ahead and draw, the results will be about the same."
KID and the others nodded.
Ying Chenlin pressed the draw button that popped up on the interface, and soon the draw result showed the number [5].
"Great! It's 5! This is the last one, right?" Ji Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "I was wondering how our luck could be so bad. This position is good enough."
As soon as Ji Qingfeng finished speaking, the virtual screen showed that all the teams had completed the draw. The order of all five numbers was adjusted, and then the number marked 5 appeared at the front of all the numbers.
A prompt popped up on the virtual screen.
[KID becomes the champion of the first round in the residential area. The competition will start in ten minutes, please be ready. ]
KID Everyone: “?”
Why are they still arranged from big to small? ?
The author has something to say:
I'm late. There will be another update in the evening.
