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 330
No other information was revealed in the arena except for the countdown time. The teams that did not have the opportunity to participate in the second stage stayed in the square for discussion, while the teams that participated in the second stage returned to the rest area at the same time and used the less than 24 hours left to make final adjustments.
This time, the list of participants for the second stage was directly posted, and even the mecha loss situation of the mecha teams was posted. This means that teams that are not fully staffed will become the primary target of opponents with fully staffed teams or teams with incomplete staff in the second stage. If they do not make adjustments in the last 24 hours, the situation they face will only become more severe.
[The attrition teams are all making attrition adjustments? 】
[It definitely needs to be adjusted. Their consumption is too high and they will suffer a great loss if they enter the second stage! 】
The live broadcast room of the Star Alliance Tournament is already paying attention to the situation of base stations in various areas. The maintenance area is busy working overtime, and other non-participating teams are leaving in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the tournament committee.
Of the three Dawn teams, Gale and Black Crow have been eliminated, and the only remaining one, KID, is still repairing his mecha. The mecha master has not been seen since he left the square, and he seemed to be going to the rest room to discuss countermeasures.
[Can KID's mecha be repaired in time? 】
[We should be able to catch up. The maintenance engineers in their team seem to be quite strong.] 】
[The SLY team is making very fast progress in repairing the damage. They only have 4 mechas left, so all the work is concentrated there. 】◆
Before the rules for the second phase were fully released, the most important thing became the race against time to repair the damage. After the first phase, many teams had suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult for the teams with heavy losses to repair to 0% status within 24 hours.
KID's wear and tear status was the best in the residential area. They had repaired enough wear and tear during their previous rest time. In the final battle with SLY, the only one with 30% wear and tear was Ji Qingfeng. 24 hours of repair time was enough for them to repair all the mechas.
All the weapon lists were gathered in Ying Chenlin's hands, and he needed to check the loaded weapons.
You Su was communicating with Theo to coordinate with the maintenance technician to adjust other internal details of the mecha. When he was communicating with Theo, Ying Chenlin was also beside him. Ever since he had communicated with the doctor, he had been giving suggestions to the maintenance technician to adjust Yuan's final settings.
"What weapon do you want to bring?" Ying Chenlin walked over after adjusting Yuan and asked You Su's opinion.
You Su looked at him and took the data pad handed over by Ying Chenlin. "Commander, are you not considering tactics in the second phase?"
"Consider it." Ying Chenlin's eyes stayed on You Su's hand for half a second, then he looked away and said, "I want to adjust the tactics based on the core."
When You Su took over the data tablet, he glanced at the weapon list and saw that Ying Chenlin had already checked two of the weapons. It seemed that he had already planned to bring those two weapons, and the handwriting was very clear.
After he saw the two weapons, he hooked another weapon at the back, "That's it, I'll cooperate with you."
Ying Chenlin was slightly distracted when he saw the weapons that You Suo had drawn.
You Su saw the boy looking down at his weapon in a daze, and wondered what he was thinking. He stared at Ying Chenlin's slightly drooping forehead for a while, then looked away and asked casually, "There will be an off-season after the Star Alliance game. Do you have any plans to take a vacation?"
"Hmm?" Ying Chenlin came back to his senses, not hearing You Su's words clearly: "What about after the Star Alliance game?"
You Su chuckled, "Nothing, let's talk about it after the competition."
Ying Chenlin's curiosity was aroused. "Why do we have to wait until after the game?"
You Su met the other person's straight gaze, stretched out his hand and pressed the other person's head, the fluffy hair felt clearly in his palm. He forced Ying Chenlin's head down and directed his disturbing eyes at the data board: "...Don't be too curious, kid. Look at your weapons and think about tactics first, commander."
Before Ying Chenlin wanted to ask more questions, You Su had already jumped into the cockpit in a few steps and was communicating with the maintenance engineer high up.
Not far away, Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng were staring at the two people's actions.
"Isn't it a bit too often that they talk to each other?" Ji Qingfeng asked.
Lin Yao said, "Didn't Chen Lin just ask us about our weapons? Ask Brother You about his weapons, right?"
Ji Qingfeng looked at the distance between the two people, which was less than half a step away, and said, "He didn't talk to us so closely. Are the two of them secretly having a secret relationship behind their teammates' backs?"
Lu Xi happened to pass by and heard the two chatting. He couldn't help but say, "Two people is not called a small group, that's called a private chat."
Lin Yao: "Oh yeah, Dafeng and I also chat privately every day, otherwise Old Huo would always catch us playing games."
"If you don't chat privately, are you waiting for Lao Huo to catch you in the act? Sister Xi, don't tell Lao Huo." Ji Qingfeng became more and more terrified as he thought about it. "Brother You seems to be in a good mood these past two days. I often see him laughing. To be honest, his laugh is a bit scary... Can he attack me less in the second half?"
"I think it's possible." Lin Yao nodded.
Ying Chenlin was unaware of the whispers in the distance, he turned to the other side and asked, "Yuan."
Yuan heard it all clearly and said, "He asked you if you have any plans to take a vacation after the Star Alliance game."
Ying Chenlin raised his head slightly when he heard this, but he could no longer see You Su. He lowered his head to look at his weapon, "Oh, Zhi
Got it. ”
"Your heart is beating very fast." Yuan revealed mercilessly.
Ying Chenlin said: "I'm thinking about taking a vacation after the Star Alliance game."
Yuan didn't understand why the thought of taking a vacation would cause the heart rate to speed up and the mental strength to fluctuate. It did not expose the owner's abnormal emotions, but silently thought about whether it should wait until it left the polluted area and connected to the Internet, and then recommend a good place for the vacation to the owner.
The mecha division of the KID team is busy in full swing.
With only 6 hours left in the countdown, all other non-participating teams had left the Nason Bello contaminated area. After leaving the field, Ji Feng and Hei Ya returned to the rest area. As soon as they arrived at the rest area, they saw other teams from the First Star Region gathered together to discuss something. The head coaches outside the field were unable to provide advice to the mecha warriors inside the field. There was no connection between the field and the outside world. All they could do was discuss countermeasures in advance and analyze the pros and cons of the battle on the field.
Among the 12 teams this time, the one with the highest score is from the Second Star Region. They have 4 teams that can participate in the battle, namely: PJT, GBK, Noah and Mendong.
The second is the fifth star field, with the participating teams being EM, Tiger, and Rabbit.
The third is the fourth star field, and the participating teams are SLY and Rou.
The last one is the third star field, and the only one they can join the battle is WHG.
When Qi Sicheng approached, he heard his head coach giving advice to Jiang Simiao: "If the second stage is a melee, the best way is to avoid the second star field. The second star field often forms a group to encircle and suppress in previous competitions. They always rely on PJT and GBK to increase the score. The first two teams are difficult to play. Relatively speaking, Mendong and Noah are a little easier."
The total points will lead to an increase in the number of places. Since there are two teams in the top five in the second star field, the number of places in the second star field has been directly raised.
"Captain Qi is here? You've worked hard on this battle."
Qi Sicheng: "As it should be, how was the second half?"
When the head coach of Jifeng saw Qi Sicheng coming out of the arena, he showed him the overall situation and said, "KID was really hard to play against in the second half."
Other people in the arena could not know the situation of other teams, but as coaches observing the game outside the arena, they sorted out the weapons that other teams in the first stage of the Star Alliance Tournament had used. It would not be difficult for KID to get into the top ten, but it would become difficult for KID to maintain his current third position.
Zhao Lejie took a look and said, "Oh my god, are the battle preparations of these teams so complete?"
At first glance, a single weapon can become the core weapon of the Dawn Team. A team has at least 3-4 core weapons. Compared with KID, such combat preparation makes KID at a disadvantage.
"These are the weapons we have sorted out that are threatening, and this is the second stage. There is no guarantee that they will be able to come up with new weapons in the second stage." Jiang Simiao looked at Qi Sicheng and said, "Captain Qi, you have experienced the first stage. What do you think the competition system will be adopted in the second stage?"
Qi Sicheng lowered his eyes and thought. The rotation system has appeared in the Star Alliance Tournament. To some extent, the team competition system of this year's Star Alliance Tournament has been greatly changed. He has an inexplicable intuition that the competition system in the second half will still be related to the arena. "This time, Nason Bello's arena area program is very comprehensive. I always feel that this setting has other uses."
The points for the entire game are cumulative, and the combined results of the two games will not be reset to zero, which means that the core scoring point in the second half will still be the points system.
With so many areas in Nathan Bello, there are more competition systems that can use points.
"We also guessed that it was a point system." Jiang Simiao said, "Will the point system allow for a halftime break?"
"I can guess this, and Ying Chenlin and the others should be able to guess it too." Qi Sicheng said, "If it were me, I would bring out my best combat preparations when I enter the game."
As the countdown draws closer, all the mecha pilots leaving the arena focus their attention on the second stage that is about to begin. In the second stage, there will be a fierce clash of strong teams. Everyone outside the stadium is paying close attention to the situation of this game. Some relevant organizations on Star Online have already started calculating the situation of the game.
In the maintenance area, in the last hour, the maintenance work of each team was basically completed, and the mecha was being loaded with the final weapons. The Dawn audience saw that KID's maintenance technician took out several weapons they had never seen before and installed them all on KID.
【KID actually has a hidden weapon! ? 】
[I just hid a few... You haven't watched other teams, I haven't seen them taken out. 】
[I saw several weapons that KID had used before. 】
[Does our little team still have to make do with the previous weapons in the second phase? 】
[Hey, is it my illusion? I always feel that KID has a lot of new weapons. 】
The leaders of the First Star Domain were radiant. In the area where the Dawn Galaxy was located, the leaders of Dawn were also in the VIP lounge area. They saw the arrival of Chairman Li Jingyan before the game started. In addition to being busy with Kronos's affairs, Chairman Li also had to coordinate the individual events of the Dawn Galaxy, so he had been running back and forth. Now that the individual events were over, he took the fastest flight to the scene and really got complete time to watch the game.
The atmosphere of the second stage of the competition was much more intense, and many people gathered in the live broadcast room.
On Mingguang Star, Xun Bao had posted a notice early that "Boss is on vacation, business will be closed for 6 days", and bought all kinds of snacks to watch the game; Jiang Yu, who had just finished the individual soldier competition, made an appointment with his friends who were also individual soldiers to meet on the virtual network, and entered the live perspective of the mecha team battle on time; on Tiannv Star, the high-definition virtual screen in the Lin family martial arts hall was broadcasting the Star Alliance Tournament from the perspective of KID. Master Lin Chenggong specially opened a course combining mecha and martial arts, and began to explain it using the KID Star Alliance Tournament as a template.
Even in the distant border areas, border troops who were taking a break started the live Star Alliance competition.
Amid the thick atmosphere of watching the game from all over the place, the countdown in the Nason Bello contaminated area entered the final five minutes. All mecha soldiers had entered the mechas and prepared to jump. At the moment the countdown reached zero, the jump lights of the 12 teams from different base stations lit up.
At the same time, the rule book from the Nathan Bello Tournament Committee popped up -
[Dear Mecha Master, welcome to the Nason Bello Polluted Zone [Star Alliance Tournament]. Now we are entering the second stage of the competition (final ranking). The rules are announced as follows:]
[Phase 2 (Ranking Tournament): This tournament adopts the Wajima Regional Tournament (mixed arena). During the duration of this tournament (6 days or 144 hours), we will randomly select 4 areas from the 10 areas in the Nason Bello Contaminated Area at irregular intervals to form a mixed arena in the Nason Bello Contaminated Area. The arena in each area will have a limit on the number of mechas. Teams can only fight effectively and gain points if they enter the arena area. ]
[The points system is used in this game. During the melee arena battle, a team will get 1 point for every 30% cumulative wear and tear on a single mecha of the enemy team (in a multi-team melee, the one who hits the target will get points). If the cumulative wear and tear of a single mecha is less than 30% but the mecha is eliminated, the one who hits the target will get 1 point. If eliminated, the team will not be allowed to return to the game. This game will not provide base station repairs or weapon replacement options. ]
[Please note: During different time periods, the number of participating teams in each melee arena will be adjusted according to the number of remaining mechas in the arena. When the melee arena is full, other teams cannot enter the melee arena in that area and can only go to other open melee arenas that are not full. ]
As soon as this rule popped up, everyone's attention immediately fell on it.
Melee Arena? Will there be a limit on the number of mechas that can enter each arena? Do we have to fight effectively in the arena area? ? ? This is just one of the rules of the competition. The most important point is that this competition does not provide maintenance and weapon options!
[You don’t open a maintenance station, but you still want to have a competition? 】
[Are we just waiting for several teams to fight in a regional arena? Why is there no information about the opening hours of the arena? 】
【etc? Wouldn't this kind of mixed arena be beneficial to teams with many teams from the same star domain? 】
[Not necessarily. Didn’t you see it? All the teams in the same star field were separated. 】
On the field, the 12 teams have randomly landed in different areas of Nason Bello after the jump. The teams from the same star field are separated far apart, and each team is separated by a certain distance, almost evenly distributed on the edge of each area of Nason Bello.
Gu Xiaotian was nervous: "Is this rule a disadvantage for us?"
Jiang Simiao thought carefully: "It's not a disadvantage. Not being able to change weapons may be a good thing for us."
A team that is used to using good weapons may only be able to set up 3-4 tactics based on a set of weapon lineups.
But KID is different. Even if KID only has one set of weapons, they can come up with a lot of tricks just by using tactics. From this point of view, not giving halftime breaks and limiting the use of a set of equipment will actually give KID, who is at a disadvantage in combat readiness, an advantage over other strong teams.
"But I don't know how to describe this competition system. I always feel like there are a lot of pitfalls." Jiang
He probably knew that the 12 teams should be divided equally into 4 arenas, so he could have just directly said there was a limit on the teams. Why limit it by the number of mechas?
The coaches of the First Star Domain all frowned, not knowing the combat situation in that area. The next second they saw that after the rules ended, 10 areas appeared on the mecha masters' competition system. Red halos kept bouncing in the 10 areas until the halos locked onto 4 of them.
[The first mixed arena is randomly selected. The arenas open this time are: forest, mountain, volcano and ocean. Each team is requested to go to any of the four areas to participate in the mixed arena. There is a limit on the number of mechas in each arena. First come, first served. Please go as soon as possible. ]
Lin Yao was a little confused when he saw these four locations: "What does that mean? Choose 1 out of 4? Which area should we go to to make it more convenient for us to fight?"
Ying Chenlin was quickly browsing the rules. The four areas of the ring were already marked on the radar map. When KID hesitated, a new reminder popped up in the arena:
[Ring area (high mountain):? ? ? The team has entered. ]
? ? ? It is unknown, they don’t know which team it is.
"Is there actually a team that is so fast?" Ji Qingfeng was shocked.
Luxi: "It should be near the ring point. It's not good to go to the mountains. It's too far."
Without much time to think, they first ruled out the mountains as the four areas were too far away from them.
"Should we go to the volcano?" Huo Yan said, "It's more suitable for us to perform."
You Su glanced at the location on the radar: "The volcano looks close, but to get there from our location, we need to fly over the Grand Canyon, which is a long distance."
Ying Chenlin said, "Let's go to the forest."
Among the four arenas in the venue, the distance to the forest is medium, and the most important point is that they can reach the forest the fastest.
The main thing is that the current competition system is too vague. Many situations can only be understood after entering the ring. They should not think about what to grab now, but should reach the mixed ring point as quickly as possible.
When KID was taking action, the mechas of other teams were also moving quickly.
The audience in the live broadcast room were still immersed in the rules of the second stage and could not see it from the perspective of the inside, but the audience outside the venue saw that the first team to occupy the high mountain point was the EM team.
"In the second stage, changing weapons is no longer allowed, and the competition system is a free-for-all arena. The 10 areas in the first stage are changed to 4 random areas. In addition, the two teams in each area are no longer just two teams. It is very likely that there will be a free-for-all of 3 or 4 teams!"
In the official live broadcast room, the commentator immediately entered the competition system analysis stage: "To put it simply, in this competition system, only 4 free-for-all arenas are open at a time. If you want to get points, you can only enter the arena to get them. In addition, there is a limit on the number of mechas in each arena. If you are late, you may face fewer choices."
[EM is sure no one will go!] 】
[Not necessarily, the people inside don’t know it’s a high mountain point
That team is EM! 】
[Then those who go into the mountains are very unlucky!] ? 】
"All teams are now considering arena selection! If no arena selection is made, teams outside the battle area will not score any points."
The second stage is originally for grabbing points. If no maintenance is given, it means that the points are limited and you have to fight no matter what.
As time goes by, the points in the game will become fewer and fewer, and the early stage is the best time for the team with a score disadvantage to grab points.
The Shuguang audience looked at KID nervously. From KID's movement route, they immediately knew that the destination KID wanted to rush to was the forest arena. As EM seized one arena point, mechas rushed to other arena points. The forest arena located in the center of the Nason Bello pollution area suddenly became the center of occupation.
[Oh my god!] Look at the other side of the forest arena, there is another team going over there! ! 】
[There are so many people in the forest arena, I see four teams rushing over! 】
[How many people are there in one arena?] ! 】
[The competition system is not mentioned.] 】
The atmosphere of the ring fight suddenly became tense, and KID didn't know that a large number of opponents were rushing towards them.
"Why did they choose the middle area with so many people fighting for it?!" Jiang Simiao saw more and more teams rushing to the forest area, which included strong teams like PJT and GBK. Could it be that they didn't run into EM at the beginning and were surrounded by the other two strong teams? !
The coach of the First Star Domain also became nervous. Since Aegis did not rush to the middle, the two teams did not have time to join up.
Ji Feng and Hei Ya were originally wondering which area KID would choose, but unexpectedly he chose the popular arena forest. Seeing more and more people coming, Brother Zhang couldn't help but close his eyes and silently recite a few words. As he was reciting, Zhao Lejie next to him also followed suit.
Head coach Jifeng was also very nervous. KID was the only one who could help Dawn win. However, this nervousness disappeared when he saw the two people mumbling beside him. He asked Qi Sicheng in confusion, "What are they reading?"
Qi Sicheng read lips: "Maybe he prayed that the other teams would fly slower and fall down halfway."
Head Coach of Gale: “…”
However, the prayers of the Dawn team did not work. Some teams used accelerators to go directly, and before entering the ring, they saw from afar a team of golden mechas appearing behind the KID team.
[Oh my god!] Who is that? So brilliant? 】
【PJT! PJT is coming soon! 】
[PJT will avoid it, they have all seen KID, KID is currently in third place, they should not confront him head-on? 】
[There are only four arenas, which means that the top five teams in the Star Alliance will collide with each other no matter what. There is no way to avoid it. 】
[How can you run to the entrance of the ring and not go in? 】
The Dawn audience prayed that PJT would make another choice, but who knew that after seeing KID, instead of slowing down, their captain Norbert's mecha flew towards the forest arena even faster!
KID and his group didn't notice the mechas in the other direction. They rushed straight to the forest arena and entered the arena area first.
When they rushed in, they saw a prompt pop up in front of them -
[You have entered the forest arena. The current number of mechas in the arena is (10/16)]
When Ying Chenlin saw the number 16 behind the mecha, his eyes paused and a strange thought emerged in his mind. However, before he could think too much, he saw a new prompt pop up the next second.
[Arena area (forest):? ? ? The team has entered. ]
[Friendly reminder: The Forest Arena is full (16/16). ]
Norbert finally saw KID go in, and was about to rush into the forest arena after chasing people. Who knew that when they rushed over, the blue light ring in front of them suddenly turned red, and a prompt suddenly popped up in front of them -
[The Forest Arena is full (16/16), please make other choices. ]
Norbert: “?”
The PJT team members breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain, KID was taken away by someone else."
The author has something to say:
Norbert tried to use his money power: Can't you just give us a cut in?
