Chapter 51

In the preparation area, other maintenance engineers couldn't help but look in the direction of Ying Chenlin. This maintenance engineer seemed to be inexperienced, but his previous report on DE was swift and resolute, which directly alarmed the competition committee and the chairman. The scripts for weapon core makers are difficult to check, but I didn't expect that this maintenance technician looks young but has very sharp eyes.

"Ying Chenlin? I haven't heard of this name in the industry before."

"You are so young, could you be a student of some teacher?"

There was whispering all around.

Ying Chenlin ignored the eyes around him and watched the game in the contaminated area calmly.

So far, Kid is still following their pre-arranged plan.

While the outside world was buzzing with news about DE's illegal mecha modification, the competition in the Fialg contaminated area was still going on. One team was reduced, and the remaining 7 teams were competing for the four spots in the top 16. Except for the initial battle between KID and two teams, the intervals between battles in the following hours were obviously longer, and many teams chose to act cautiously.

The most important thing about the [72 Hours to Score] competition system is to eliminate mechas and gain points. However, once a certain score is accumulated, it becomes more important to maintain stability. If a certain score is accumulated and the whole team is eliminated due to recklessness, all the points accumulated previously will be wasted.

Grabbing points is important, but ultimately the survival of the team is also important.

All DE scores were cancelled, but KID's score of eliminating their three mechas was still there, making him the dark horse in the early stage of the Fialge region, and directly jumped to the first place in the ranking.

[KID currently has the highest score, and there are not many mechas left. A battle has also broken out at BZZL1. He should play it safe, right? 】

[Playing it safe is the most reliable strategy. In a competition system where you have to compete for points for 72 hours, all mecha masters are smart and the accumulated points in the end will not be too high. Being able to get 4 points at the beginning is already a very stable score. 】

When the people in the live broadcast room thought that KID might wait and see how the situation would develop after getting four points, this group of people started rushing around in the forest looking for people, with the word "fight" clearly written on their faces. They chased after the mechas they found, not thinking at all that they were the big fat sheep with four points on their heads.

[For a moment I didn’t know whether to say they were strong or reckless? 】

[As an amateur mecha master, I know how to save energy and look for opportunities. Don’t these people know how to save energy strategically? Aren’t you afraid of being wiped out? 】

[They don’t seem to be afraid, and for some reason, I feel like no one can wipe them out in one fell swoop. 】

Ji Qingfeng, the stealth mecha, swung his sickle and ran through the forest, grabbing and controlling the mecha of anyone he saw, not to mention the guard mecha Lin Yao. He could stab into the pile of mechas with a wave of his long sword against the protective shield, and with a sweep of the sword he could pick up the opposite guard mecha for a 1v1 fight. The remaining three mechas did not form a group, but the tanks and controllers were on the left and right of the guns, escorting Trace like left and right bodyguards, ensuring that he could kill one with one shot.

In the competition area, DE's withdrawal did not affect KID's rhythm.

It's obviously a team battle, but when they fight they can get into a mess, and in the end they can even eliminate the mecha.

Outside the court, Jiang Simiao had a headache when he saw this scene. He knew KID's strategy, but every time he watched the game, he felt like he was going to have a heart attack: "No, no, when they come out, I must fight them steadily."

Shen Xingtang sat there happily: "It's hard to keep calm. I think they are having a lot of fun."

[KID was also a mess last season, but I inexplicably enjoyed watching this season. 】

[Such a reckless team is rarely seen in the promotion matches. 】

[Don't say it, I really feel KID's improvement. It turns out they are not giving up. 】

Inside the competition venue, KID didn't think too much about it. He had consumed too much energy on the first day, so no matter how reckless he was, he had to save some energy to deal with the sneak attack on the third day.

Besides, this polluted area was too large and there were too many trees. They walked for half a day without encountering a single mecha.

The mecha was not found, but a lot of pollutants were encountered on the road.

Lin Yao glanced at it and said, "What was the name of that bear that just passed by? It looked so strong! It looks very valuable."

"Cut it if it's valuable, Yaobao, you can't forget our hard work in the past just because we have a sponsor now." Ji Qingfeng heard it and turned to him: "...This thing has come to us, we can't just watch it pass by, right?"

"We are now in first place in points, so let's maintain our honor and talk about it after the fight." Huo Yan gave an order: "As for the pollutants, take them away if they pass by."

KID and the others looked at each other. The Fialg contaminated area was not open normally, and some resources were not available outside. One had to make enough money after coming in before leaving.

Ji Qingfeng said: "Last time when we were discussing strategy, didn't Chen Lin say that wolf was rare? And what about sub-giant trees?"

Luxi corrected: "Timber wolf, Feiya giant tree."

You Su sat in the mecha. 72 hours was very short for him who often spent his days in the contaminated area. Hearing these people in the team say this, he suddenly remembered that when he went to the maintenance room to see Theo last time, he seemed to hear Ying Chenlin telling Shen Xingtang that they were short of materials. "Since you are here, take everything back. Doesn't he still need materials for the two S-level supernatural crystals?"

The result of KID's recklessness was that before the end of the first 24 hours, they scored 7 points and jumped to first place in the standings. Just when the audience thought KID would continue to charge forward, KID changed the next day. He no longer went looking for fights, but started strolling around the polluted area.

The change was too obvious. The team was charging forward very aggressively the day before, but on the second day the entire team slowed down visibly. They even had time to clear the pollutants in the Fialg contaminated area? ? ?

【no? Shouldn't you continue to eliminate others? 】

[It’s fine to destroy the pollutants, but how do you restore the original state of the things? Do these people know that digging for supernatural crystals will be broadcast live on the entire network? 】

[What? Are you here to fight or for resources? ? ? 】

The staff saw this and didn't know how to deal with it: "This? Director, should we stop this?"

The person in charge of the competition committee saw this and asked, "How can we stop this?"

Competition-level polluted areas are inherently difficult to clear. During the open period of the league each year, it is assumed that all pollutants cleared by all teams entering will belong to the team. It’s just that normally the teams are busy fighting games, and the pollutants are cleaned up at the same time. They didn’t expect that someone would openly kill the pollutants and dig up materials in front of everyone in the league? ? ?

The noise was so loud that a team passing by thought KID was fighting a fierce battle, so they did not risk joining in and chose to go around and avoid the battle.

While KID was having fun beating the pollutants, heated conflicts broke out elsewhere in the polluted area.

BZZL1 eliminated two teams in one leap and reached the top on the third day.

The commentator was unable to put it into words: "The current number one in points is Team BZZL1! KID, who was originally ranked first, dropped one place!"

【KIyu. . Can Yan D please stop killing monsters? BZZL1 is already number one! 】

[…The third place is catching up soon.] 】~

[They can't hear me when I tell them. Damn, how poor are these people! Cut down all the trees? ? ? ? 】

Inside the venue, after killing the bear and catching the wolf, KID and his group looked with a clear goal at the plant-based pollutant [Fiarg Giant Tree] that is unique to the Fialg pollution zone. This giant tree has extremely high toughness and strong vitality. It is often used as the raw material for the metal nerves of mechas and is a rare A-level material.

The act of cutting down trees was really too much, and the alliance had to give KID a subtle reminder -

[All teams please play actively! There are still 23 hours until the end of the battle! ]

"Wow, there are still teams that are not actively competing?"

Seeing the reminder, Lin Yao said disdainfully: "This is too careless. They must be the team at the bottom of the points list."

Ji Qingfeng: "Just play badly. How can there be people who play badly in the promotion match? It's obvious that they are not active. It's ok that they don't pick fights in the point-grabbing mode, but they even played badly enough to get a warning from the league."

Seeing this, Huo Yan warned: "We can't learn this. We still have to have the right competitive attitude."

Lu Xi, who was still diligently burning trees, looked at the others and said, "Brother Huo, the trees here are a little difficult to deal with. My incendiary bombs can't burn them."

Huo Yan: "I'll help you."

In the last 23 hours, the teams that did not have enough points started to challenge for points, while the teams that had enough points and wanted to play it safe did not take any more risks, but focused on stabilizing their scores and did not join other battles.

As the number of team mechas decreased and the teams consumed each other, KID did not earn any points in the last 23 hours. He maintained 7 points of honor and advanced to the second place, second only to the former D zone overlord BZZL1.

[I don’t know why, but I found the second half particularly boring. 】

[Stop talking... I locked onto KID's perspective in order to watch them fight, but ended up watching them fight the pollutants for two days. 】

When the news came out from the contaminated area, some KIDs were happy while others were depressed.

And it might be that they killed the pollutants too aggressively in the rush to kill them at the last minute, so when the news came out, their mechas had very little energy left.

Lin Yao regretted, "It was a pity that the last wave, my knife ran out of energy and let the wolf run away."

"We were lucky. We didn't encounter BZZL1 on the third day."

Ji Qingfeng said: "I didn't have enough energy for the second half, luckily I didn't meet them."

Lin Yao rubbed his head and said, "But why do I feel like I have bad luck? I still want to fight them."

Ji Qingfeng: "You are stupid, with your fighting style, how can we have the energy to fight them head-on on the third day? Didn't Sanshui say that BZZL1 likes to play a protracted battle? It's easy to be worn out by fighting with them. Fortunately, we didn't meet them, otherwise our elimination points would be wasted!"

When You Su came out of the cockpit, he saw Ying Chenlin standing outside the mecha waiting for them with a maintenance kit on his back. He looked no different from three days ago. As soon as he saw the mecha, he went back to work as usual. However, when he heard Lin Yao and the others talking about the battle, he looked slightly in their direction.

Even though you are working, it is easy to be distracted by things around you.

He looked for a while longer, and Ying Chenlin seemed to notice his gaze and looked in his direction.

Ying Chenlin looked a little doubtful, but he finally nodded politely and continued with the work at hand.

After the game, each base was busy with post-game processing

, the KID mecha technicians underwent official routine inspections. When they came back after all the inspections, Ying Chenlin had already checked the problems with the mechas and was waiting for the alliance staff to come and register.

“Chen Lin, we brought you some materials for that tree you mentioned last time.”

"That's called the Feiya Giant Tree. Do you want a forest wolf? I dug up several forest wolf energy crystals."

Seeing this, Ying Chenlin explained: "The material needs to be tested to know its performance."

Lin Yao hurriedly walked towards the storage compartment of the mecha, "There is also a bear! Brother You said that the material of the bear is very rare, so we dug it up as well."

The post-match live broadcast perspective in the mecha parking area, which had not yet been closed, also broadcast this scene. Seeing KID sorting materials, the media people who came to interview stood outside the pile of materials and could not find the way in. The netizens who were about to watch the post-match interview were silent.

Did they kill so many people? 】

[BZZL1's Mecha Masters were interviewed, and other Mecha Masters were reviewing with their coaches. What were they doing? Packing your bags? 】

【Did KID go traveling? This scene is just like my uncle coming back from a trip to an alien galaxy and distributing local specialties to me! 】

The staff of the alliance came to check and register the damage of the mechas. As soon as they entered the mecha parking area, they saw KID and a group of people gathered in front of a pile of materials.

Staff: "......? This is the mecha parking inspection area!! You can't sort materials here!!!"

Everyone in KID reacted, and Lin Yao said hurriedly: "Let's clean up right away."

After Shen Xingtang finished processing all the post-match registration information, he hurried to the entrance, looking at them and urging them: "Pack up quickly, the flight time of that ship has been advanced. If you are late, you will not be able to catch the return ship!"

The media person who finally squeezed in said: "Boss Shen, there is another interview."

Shen Xingtang looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, we bought a late-night shuttle. You know there are few flights from the Fialg Polluted Area to Sirius, and the tickets are expensive. We have to leave soon."

Hearing Shen Xingtang's urging, KID and his group skillfully picked up the pollutant materials and put them into the storage device one by one. Their movements were fast and smooth. Even KID's young maintenance technician got involved and picked up a branch of a sub-giant tree that was taller than anyone else in the pile of materials with one hand.

[Wait... that maintenance engineer?] ? 】

[Who said before that KID’s repairman couldn’t even lift the exterior panel! 】
