Chapter 50

Chapter 50

After the sniper bombardment ended, thick smoke rolled up the sand, and the whole world seemed to fall into another level of loneliness.

"Trace eliminated xuyj!" The commentator said excitedly: "DE has eliminated three mechas! Congratulations to KID for reaching a cumulative score of 4 points, currently ranking first in the game!"

The successive kills in the contaminated area caused the audience to burst into warm applause.

[Oh my god, this is so cool!] 】

[This sniper cannon, I started to get nervous the moment I saw it charging. 】

[Trace's gun is so stable, how come his hit rate is so high! 】

At this moment, energy protection circles appeared on several mechas whose consumption reached 80%. The alliance's elimination emergency rescue team went to the elimination site of the competition area to carry out rescue. At the same time, all mechas participating in the competition received the elimination news and also received an [Emergency Report]. The alliance terminated the DE team's right to compete.

"Terminate the right to play?!" Ji Qingfeng was slightly stunned: "Is the alliance moving so quickly?"

Huo Yan was also a little surprised: "The speed of investigation is indeed much faster than before."

Lin Yao stood there in a daze. In the distance, Xu Yaojun's mecha remained motionless. "Ah? If they are eliminated, do we still have points?"

Lu Xi explained simply: "The points should be counted before termination."

In the live broadcast room, the special situation in the contaminated area also attracted the attention of the audience. When the D Division Committee temporarily issued a notice to suspend all actions of the DE team, everyone was stunned.

[DE violated the rules!] ? 】

[This is a temporary notice at this time. It seems that a lot of staff have just gone to the preparation area. 】

[No way?] How come the violation was only discovered now? Doesn’t the alliance have an inspection team? 】

Back to more than ten minutes ago, when the relevant personnel of the league went to the competition area to deal with it, the DE maintenance engineer heard what the staff said and fell to the ground with a deathly pale face.

Ying Chenlin turned his head and saw the middle-aged man in a suit and tie in front of the slightly crowded testing table.

He was stunned. Even though he had received greetings from the other party during the time he was in the hospital, this was the first time he had seen Li Jingyan in his life.

Li Jingyan stood next to the alliance staff and nodded slightly when his eyes met.

Ying Chenlin straightened up slightly and suddenly noticed the movement at the entrance of the preparation area.

Several staff members hurried to inform the race committee to make the next arrangements, and the people from the manual inspection team in the preparation area also rushed over. Seeing the situation on the scene, everyone's face was filled with anxiety.

The person in charge apologized to Li Jingyan: "Sorry, this was due to the negligence of our manual team."

By the time they had finished checking everything except for the inspection station in the preparation area, Li Jingyan had already asked the working group to take control of the inspection station in the preparation area DE.

"Received a report during the game?" Li Jingyan paused when he heard this.

The person in charge said: "Yes... You know, if there is a report during the game, the working group needs to investigate all possible causes."

They received a request from KID's maintenance engineer to check for environmental anomalies midway through the game, and the working group had already started the investigation. Later, they noticed something unusual in the arena and immediately conducted a full-scale check of KID and DE's combat environment.

Li Jingyan nodded and continued, "No alarm sounded in other systems. It should be a problem with the weapon core, right?"

The person in charge was sweating. Their actions were fast enough, but they didn't expect the chairman to directly bring people to control this place, which made their actions seem irresponsible. "Yes, we conducted a comprehensive investigation and found no problems elsewhere. We were planning to come over to check the DE's mecha core."

Li Jingyan: "We have checked and found that there is a problem with the DE's weapon core."

The person in charge was stunned: "But shouldn't the core problem of the weapon be found out when the mecha is first reviewed?"

"The audit system failed to do its job." Li Jingyan: "They must have used special energy crystals to deceive the audit system."

The monitoring points in the preparation area are set up to allow the team's maintenance technicians to monitor the mecha's data in real time to prevent sudden conditions of the mecha from affecting the safety of the mecha technicians. The abnormal data monitoring of the entire competition area is divided into two parts. The first is intelligent monitoring and the second is manual monitoring. Manual monitoring includes official working groups and team maintenance technicians.

Manual testing covers all data within the contaminated area and cannot take all aspects into account, so special testing points are set up to provide auxiliary testing for team maintenance engineers.

DE's violation was concealed from the competition area's intelligent and manual inspections in the prior inspections. The only exposure point this time was the internal abnormality report of the mecha. This abnormality report came from the weapon energy abnormality report of DE gunner mecha master Xu Yaojun. Under normal circumstances, weapon energy abnormalities exist. When a gunner mecha master is storing more than 80% of the energy, there is a chance that it will cause energy abnormalities, thereby causing the system's precursor alarm, but these alarms can be turned off at any time as long as they comply with regulations.

But generally speaking, it is rare for a Gunner Mech to have over 80% of its energy charged in a match, and even if an alarm sounds, it won't happen frequently.

The special weapon DE used a dual-attribute energy crystal that stored illegal energy and concealed energy fluctuations, so it easily avoided the alliance's intelligent and manual detection.

The source fluctuations generated when this weapon is used cannot be hidden, so a maintenance technician is needed in the background to assist in concealing it.

At the very beginning, the Mecha Alliance has conducted a comprehensive review of all Mecha equipment data. As long as the review is passed, the Alliance will not expose the Mecha data during the competition.

In short, they took advantage of the intelligent loopholes in the Chameleon Mouse's supernatural crystal diamond review system and the league detection system, and cooperated with the maintenance technicians to conceal the truth. If DE's gunners and mecha technicians were skilled enough and used less frequently, it would be difficult to detect problems with such illegal modifications even with manual inspections.

The news spread quickly, and the official cut off the live broadcast of the game in the preparation area and sent people to stop the game.

The discussion on Starnet became more and more heated. After all, this was only the first promotion match, and it had not even been 12 hours, but such a big problem was found.

DE has always been wealthy and had decent results last season, but it has been stirring up conflicts with Sirius and squeezing KID's resources everywhere. KID's status declined due to management issues. During this period in Sirius, DE's reputation once surpassed KID. Some people even said that it was a foregone conclusion that DE would surpass KID this season.

And now, the two teams collided head-on in the Fialg Contaminated Zone, and DE not only lost, but also lost while cheating illegally.

【What's the meaning? ! DE cheating? ? 】

[It should be a problem with the mecha. I saw that the working group finally went to the preparation area. The problem with the mecha was that it was modified in violation of regulations. 】

[No way?] Who violated the rules in the renovation? ? Wasn’t DE beaten by KID? 】

[Illegal renovations and being beaten up is so hilarious. 】

The competition in Fialg's contaminated area is still going on. All members of the DE mecha division were brought out by the alliance rescue team. Because of the illegal transformation, DE was terminated.

The game will have all scores cancelled and the team will face violation penalties from the league.

Shen Xingtang received the news because the KID team's maintenance engineer submitted a report procedure during the game.

"Abnormal environment report?" Shen Xingtang listened and caught a glimpse of Ying Chenlin in the distance.

Environmental abnormality report…? Once such a report is submitted, the alliance will definitely take the time to conduct a complete investigation before giving a definite response. Since Ying Chenlin discovered the problem, he could have submitted a simpler report of doubt, but he submitted an abnormal report that would take time to check.

The staff member said, "Yes, thanks to your maintenance engineer's quick response. If the chairman and your maintenance engineer hadn't been there this time, the DE violation might have been concealed by them."

Shen Xingtang: “…”

No, you may have misunderstood, we just want to get more points.

When the DE boss was summoned to the conference room, he saw all the DE mecha technicians standing on one side, with the slightly angry chairman Li Jingyan and KID's boss and maintenance technician next to him.

The DE boss took the initiative and decisively admitted his fault: "Chairman Li, this matter is purely our DE's fault. I didn't expect Xu Yaojun to collude with the maintenance engineer and modify the mecha privately without telling the team."

Xu Yaojun looked at the DE boss in astonishment.

The maintenance engineer next to him lowered his head, his face as pale as paper.

The DE boss glanced at him slightly, his face still showing that shrewd look: "We DE are willing to cooperate with the alliance investigation, but this matter is all due to the collusion between Xu Yaojun and the maintenance engineer, and the rest of us are unaware of it."

Hearing this, Li Jingyan looked at Xu Yaojun and asked, "Is this true?"

Xu Yaojun was about to speak when the maintenance engineer next to him grabbed his hand.

Then, the DE maintenance engineer said: "Yes... I violated the rules and cooperated with Xu Yaojun to modify the mecha."

The DE boss rushed over to speak before Xu Yaojun: "Yes, Chairman, you see, this matter was all done by Xu Yaojun alone. We DE still have substitutes. We can't let their affairs affect our team, right?"

Li Jingyan frowned and said nothing.

The other staff members looked at each other. If this incident was done by Xu Yaojun personally and the mecha warriors of other teams were unaware of it, the punishment would be different from the punishment faced by DE for covering up the mecha warrior's illegal transformation. In the former, the responsibility lies with the mecha warrior and the mecha base is responsible, but the most that can be done is to ban the mecha warrior and fine the base.

The latter will punish the entire team, and it is very likely that the entire mecha base will be banned.

Xu Yaojun listened to what Boss DE said. Seeing that Boss DE was about to put all the responsibility on him, he said anxiously: "Boss, didn't you say that before--"

The maintenance engineer next to him couldn't help but hold him back and whispered, "Don't forget your contract with DE."

Xu Yaojun was stunned.

When he originally switched from KID, he signed a long-term contract with DE Base.

Boss DE glanced at Xu Yaojun and ignored the idiot.

He had anticipated the possibility of this happening and had people prepared in advance.

He has plenty of mecha technicians, and with Xu Yaojun missing, he can always find a new mecha technician to take over. If the DE team is dragged down by this illegal modification, all his previous investments will be wasted.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xingtang suddenly said, "Chen Lin, I remember that illegal modification of mechas will be punished by suspension, right? The standard of punishment is determined according to the degree of modification?"

Ying Chenlin glanced at the person beside him. He was a maintenance engineer and was familiar with the mecha rules of the alliance. Seeing that Shen Xingtang was interested in asking questions, he continued, "Generally, illegal modifications to the mecha itself will result in a three-month or six-month suspension. However, if it involves major weapon modifications, the severity of the modification will be determined, and in serious cases, the penalty may be a lifetime suspension."

Xu Yaojun listened to the discussion around him and asked, "What do you mean? A lifetime ban?"

When the staff saw the pale-faced mecha master, they thought about how much trouble this person had caused them, and explained to him in a calm tone: "We usually determine it based on the threat level of the weapon core. Gun attack weapons are the most threatening of all weapons, so if a gun mecha master violates the rules, the punishment will be heavier. The highest punishment is a lifetime ban."

If you are afraid, why don’t you think more before doing something?

Others also whispered -

"This is a serious incident. They modified the core and exploited loopholes in the alliance system."

"Yeah, ordinary modifications are fine, but he also brought a large amount of energy into the contaminated area, which violated the league rules and the contaminated area regulations."

"He also concealed the fact that he was modifying his base. The chairman caught him. He can't avoid a heavy fine."

The more Xu Yaojun listened, the more panicked he became. What if all the responsibility for this matter was put on him and he was banned from the game for life? ? Among the mecha modification violations, the penalty for weapon modification is the heaviest. The energy he carries far exceeds the alliance's standards...

He looked at everyone else helplessly. His DE teammates all avoided him, as if they wanted to distance themselves from him.

If a maintenance engineer violates the rules, at most he will lose the right to join the team in the alliance, which will not have any other impact on him in the base. However, if a mecha engineer like him is banned for life, he will never be able to stand on the league stage in his life, and may even face an even more difficult environment in the future.

Xu Yaojun looked at the mechanic next to him again, but the DE mechanic didn't want to answer Xu Yaojun. This time, it was because of his reckless behavior during the competition that the matter was exposed.

The DE boss was explaining to the league chairman, putting all the blame on the maintenance engineer and Xu Yaojun.

Li Jingyan looked at the DE boss and said, "You mean you didn't know anything about this?"

Boss DE's words were well-founded. He had long been prepared for such a thing to happen and had prepared other "evidence" early on: "Yes, Chairman, don't worry. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly after I return..."

Xu Yaojun listened to every word of the DE boss, and fear and dissatisfaction merged in his heart.

What's the meaning? Obviously everyone knew about this, so he was the one who was punished in the end?

Why? It was obviously not his idea to modify the weapons, but in the end he has to bear all the responsibilities alone. Once his career is ruined by a lifetime ban, his contract with DE will be meaningless.

Just when everyone thought that the discussion on this matter was about to end and the working group was about to move to another place, Xu Yaojun suddenly asked: "If I tell the truth, can the punishment be reduced?"

Li Jingyan's attention was originally on the side. When he heard the voice, he looked at the pale-faced mecha master in front of him and said, "Confess and we will give you leniency. The Alliance will handle this impartially."

"I didn't modify the mecha privately!"

Xu Yaojun's tone was a little hurried: "The mechas were all modified by the base. I only found out about the situation shortly before the game. He just wanted to put all the blame on me."

Boss DE stopped talking and looked at Xu Yaojun with a cold expression, "Xu Yaojun!"

"Why are you staring at me? You just want to put all the blame on me." Xu Yaojun looked at the DE boss and suddenly became bolder. He said in a bad tone, "So I am your tool. You can use me whenever you want and put all the blame on me when something goes wrong? You didn't use this tone when you bought the data."

The people around him didn't expect Xu Yaojun to suddenly attack, and everyone looked at him.

Shen Xingtang, who had been listening nearby, smiled and said, "Buy information?"

Boss DE was shocked when he heard this: "Xu Yaojun!"

"Why are you so anxious? When you pushed the blame onto me, weren't you afraid that I would tell you everything?!" At this point, Xu Yaojun didn't want to keep a good face with the DE boss: "You colluded with KID's former maintenance engineer to steal data. Did you think you could cover it up by bribing the maintenance engineer? In order to shut me up, you promised me a better contract and recruited me to play in the league, but now that something has happened, you want to kick me out!?"

Xu Yaojun had a complete falling out with the DE boss and exposed all the facts about DE purchasing information from KID's former maintenance engineer and leaking mecha data last season. The matter of the former KID repairman had never been fully investigated, and the buyer who purchased the information from the repairman was missing. The investigation into the matter finally came to an end. Unexpectedly, the instigator of everything was DE.

The DE boss still wanted to shut Xu Yaojun up, but Xu Yaojun was probably really desperate. Realizing the seriousness of the illegal modifications, he was afraid of having to take all the responsibility, so he completely fell out with the DE boss.

DE Boss: "You idiot!"

Hearing this, Li Jingyan didn't say anything, but other staff members of the competition committee frowned tightly, because this involved a major violation of regulations last season.

Seeing things developing in an unexpected direction, the DE boss looked a little panicked: "Wait, Chairman, this is not--"

The members of the Dawn Galaxy Mech Alliance Investigation Team were also nearby. Upon hearing this, the team leader immediately stepped forward and said, "This matter involves a lot of issues. Please, come with your mech master and we will need to conduct a procedural investigation."

Boss DE wanted to say something, but the staff didn't want to listen to them blaming each other. The competition in Division D was still going on, and the competition committee could not let KID Maintenance Engineer stay for too long, so they handed all matters over to the Alliance Joint Investigation Team.

Shen Xingtang watched Xu Yaojun being taken away, with no other expression on his cold face.

Ying Chenlin followed behind Shen Xingtang, and when he saw her stop, he looked at her in confusion.

Seeing Ying Chenlin, Shen Xingtang's cold expression disappeared in an instant, and her expression changed faster than drinking water. She looked at Ying Chenlin with a smile on her face: "Abnormal environment report? You really know how to buy them time."

Ying Chenlin lowered his head: "I didn't expect the chairman to come. Will our points be cancelled?"

Li Jingyan arrived too quickly, half an hour earlier than he expected.

Shen Xingtang: “…”

So the chairman didn't come, and you still want to buy them some more time, right?

"It shouldn't be cancelled. I will explain this to the alliance."

Shen Xingtang was about to continue speaking when he saw Li Jingyan coming out of the meeting room. The other party didn't let the staff follow him and walked straight towards them. She paused for a moment, but Li Jingyan spoke first.

Li Jingyan: "We will give KID a satisfactory answer after investigating the matter of KID's former maintenance technician."

Shen Xingtang: "Chairman, you are too polite."

After Li Jingyan finished speaking, he shifted his gaze to the side and looked at Ying Chenlin.

When Ying Chenlin saw him, he nodded slightly and greeted him: "Hello, long time no see."

Li Jingyan's eyes lost their previous seriousness and indifference, and he asked kindly, "How is your recovery?"

Ying Chenlin: "Thank you for your concern. I feel much better now."

Li Jingyan nodded, then looked at Shen Xingtang: "Shen Lin is under your care."

Shen Xingtang replied subconsciously: "Of course he is. He is the maintenance engineer at our base."

After all, it was the backstage of the competition area, and there were other staff members nearby. It was not convenient for Li Jingyan to stay there for too long. After asking a few questions, he followed the other staff members and left.

After Shen Xingtang and the others left, he asked, "Do you know the Chairman?"

Ying Chenlin said truthfully: "When I was in the army before, I received a lot of care from him."

Shen Xingtang said "oh" and before he could ask more questions, Ying Chenlin was called away by the staff in the preparation area and the competition continued.

In the live broadcast room, netizens were still discussing the temporary suspension of the DE team, and not long after, the images in the preparation area were reopened, and the young maintenance technician returned to the KID testing table.

[Isn’t it difficult to check for weapons violations? Things that the alliance audit couldn't find out. 】

[You can react so quickly, it must have something to do with the chairman, right? 】

The camera in the live broadcast room was locked on the monitoring station in the preparation area. The young maintenance technician did not panic at all and continued to work.

[I remember that a comprehensive inspection is required to determine whether a violation has occurred...? I think I saw the staff from the monitoring team just now. 】

[Didn’t you think of KID’s maintenance technician? He is a maintenance technician, shouldn't he report it when something goes wrong? 】

Maintenance technician... ?

Inside the league, focus on Division D

There were a lot of people attending a game, and Ji Feng and YDS followed almost the entire first day. However, they had other games to play later and could not continue to watch the D Division games in real time. The task of collecting data fell to the coaching staff of the major teams.

"Weapon data?" The YDS coaching staff heard Ke Lin's instructions before leaving for the game. "KID's weapon data?"

"Yeah." Another coach said, "You know, he pays special attention to these details."

Ke Lin is very sensitive to these details. YDS was able to climb to the second place in two years, and Ke Lin played an indispensable role in this.

In this competition, Colin did not focus on his opponent BZZL1, but was very interested in KID. This interest has not diminished since returning from Tianyu Star, and is now growing stronger.

"He also asked me to look up KID's weapon designer, but after my investigation, I found out that the designer who originally worked with KID said that this season's KID weapons had nothing to do with him..." The coach held the investigation materials and frowned tightly, "Where did KID get these weapons from!?"

"I suddenly remembered that KID had been selling parts a while ago. The identity of the parts designer at that time is still a mystery... I think his name was Yuan?"

The author has something to say:

There is an additional chapter, but I haven’t finished it yet, maybe after 7 o’clock.

You smashed the nutrient solution so quickly that I almost fainted when I woke up in the morning.

Everyone should come and see it at 8 o'clock!

The next chapter ends this game~
