Chapter 126126 Lu Xuan: What's wrong with being a henpecked husband? You need an old man...

Dirk gripped his arm tightly, repeatedly emphasizing, "Pei Qi, you can't act so recklessly this time!"

As he spoke, Dirk flipped through the stacks of information in his hands and shouted anxiously, "Pei Qi, this Jimmy specializes in offensive mechas. He's a natural counter to your agile mecha. To be on the safe side, it's safest for you to use a defensive mecha."

"Yeah." Pei Qi responded nonchalantly.

Seeing his lazy and disorganized appearance, Dirk was extremely anxious. Seeing Pei Qi about to take the stage, Dirk stamped his feet anxiously, "Pei Qi, I'm serious. I didn't lie about the military intelligence! You have to believe me!"

"Um."

The announcement sounded again, "Contestant #48 Pei Qi and Contestant #8 Jimmy, please enter the practice cabin. The competition is about to begin."

Pei Qi stepped into the training cabin. When choosing a mecha, he hesitated for a moment and chose the defensive mecha A6. When the lineups of both teams were announced, everyone was dumbfounded.

Pei Qi chose the defensive mecha A6, and Jimmy chose the agile mecha A3.

Isn’t this a coincidence?

The moment he saw the lineups of both teams, Dirk was completely dumbfounded.

"ah?"

"Ahhhh?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh?"

Dirk strongly recommended to Pei Qi to use a defensive mecha. Pei Qi used it, but the opponent did not play according to the routine at all. Jimmy directly gave up the offensive mecha that he was best at and used the agile mecha No. 3, which was the agile mecha that Pei Qi was best at!

As soon as this lineup came out, the venue became lively.

"Pei Qi has encountered attribute restraint again this time!"

"Le, why are these two people using mecha models that they are not good at?"

"Isn't Jimmy good at attack mechas?"

"Le, it's because Jimmy is good at attack-type mechas, while Pei Qi uses defensive mechas! In the end, Jimmy didn't use attack-type mechas, but agile mechas."

In the previous game, Pei Qi eliminated the favorite to win the championship, Galen, and entered people's attention as a dark horse. Dirk thought he had studied his opponent's "playing" habits, but he didn't know that while he studied others, others also studied Pei Qi.

Since Pei Qi participated in the competition, he has been using the agile mecha A3. He has never changed the type of mecha, and even the model of the mecha has always been A3.

Many people believed that Pei Qi was not proficient in using many mechas, otherwise, he would not have taken out the A3 over and over again. Even though he knew that Garen was good at attacking mechas, he still chose the A3 without hesitation because its attributes would suppress it. Isn't this a sign of being at the end of his rope?

Garen was the third runner-up in the previous Campus Cup, and his level was obvious. Even with the attribute suppression, Pei Qi, driving the A3, was able to defeat Garen with a short-distance space jump. This meant that this guy was really good at positioning. Even though an offensive mecha had absolute firepower suppression over a lightweight mecha, Pei Qi was like a slippery loach, and it was not easy to catch him.

In Jimmy's opinion, the best way to break Pei Qi's fast-push style of play was to keep up with his speed, so he chose the same mecha as Pei Qi without hesitation. However, Pei Qi chose the slow-moving defensive mecha A6.

speed?

Where does he get the speed?

As the race began, Pei Qi took the lead in driving the slow old turtle towards Jimmy, but his flying speed was extremely slow, and there was a long distance between the two.

Jimmy: “…”

Seeing Pei Qi's weird way of operating, Jimmy almost laughed out loud.

He dared to say that Pei Qi was not good at defensive mechas. What was a defensive mecha? Mechas that were good at resisting offensive attacks. They had thick skin and flesh, and had a set of methods to break the enemy's attacks.

Well, defensive mechas can have certain advantages in passive defense, and they are often played as a countermeasure card. However, Pei Qi is different. He drove a slow defensive mecha and attacked Jimmy.

Jimmy curled the corners of his lips, this wave is really a help from heaven!

The agile mecha he chose happened to be the mortal enemy of the defensive mecha. The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed. The defensive mecha is quite effective in resisting the concentrated fire of the offensive mecha, but once they encounter the highly maneuverable agile mecha, they will not be able to gain an advantage.

With a whoosh, the high-jet twin engines provided him with powerful thrust. He dodged and stuck behind Pei Qi, aiming the double muzzles at him. With a boom, the bombs hit Pei Qi accurately, and the imminent explosion raised clouds of thick smoke.

Done!

Jimmy struck while the iron was hot and quickly fired several shells, raising thick smoke.

"Pei Qi!"

Dirk's heart was in his throat, his hands tightly gripping the railing. It was bad, it was bad, he shouldn't have been a wise man after the event, what a lousy trick he had given Pei Qi!

Feelings of guilt and regret lingered in his heart.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the bulky turtle emitted a silver glow. It appeared in front of everyone intact, and the durability of its mecha was 100%.

Dirk: “!!!!!”

His eyes widened in disbelief. Great! Pei Qi was fine!

When the shells came, Pei Qi immediately used A6's deflection skill to make the shells deviate from their original trajectory. The two shells collided violently, raising clouds of thick smoke.

Looking at the big turtle that was unharmed, Jimmy's face was twisted with anger. He once again used his agility to distance himself from the big turtle and fired several missiles at it.

However, the situation was the same as last time, there was smoke but no injuries.

Jimmy frowned, the determined smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a dissatisfied and anxious look, and his playing style became more and more anxious.

Host Zhan Yi took the microphone and commented, "Contestant Jimmy made repeated mistakes in several crucial offensive moves, which prevented him from fully utilizing the advantages of his agile mecha. This not only led to a stalemate, but also put the situation in his disadvantage."

Agile mechas excel at blitzkrieg, and once they get into a protracted battle, it means they are in a stalemate. Apart from anything else, the high energy consumption design of the agile mechas alone is enough to make Jimmy drink a pot. This means that if he does not end the battle quickly, he will soon be chased by Pei Qi due to lack of energy.

Jimmy's offensive became increasingly disorganized. Seeing that the shells had no effect on Pei Qi, he quickly switched his combat style, fighting with the combat mecha method he was best at, which made his attacks more aggressive.

Pei Qi's eyes lit up. This was the moment he had been waiting for!

The speed of the agile mecha was too fast, which made it impossible for him to touch the edge of the opponent's clothes. He could only keep being hit by the opponent's kite skills. Once Jimmy gave up the long-range kite and wanted to fight him in close combat, his chance came.

"Bang."

Jimmy flashed close to Pei Qi's back and quickly drew out his lightsaber. The powerful lightsaber pierced through Pei Qi's left arm, and the undamaged defensive mecha lost 20% of its durability.

Pei Qi curled the corners of his lips. There was no hesitation in his eyes due to being attacked. Instead, there was excitement that he was eager to try.

When the lightsaber pierced his left arm, Pei Qi did not choose to defend himself, but chose to hold on to Jimmy's fuselage tightly.

Jimmy: “?”

What is this kid doing?

The tonnage of the defensive mecha is originally higher than that of the agile mecha. He clamped Jimmy tightly, and the two gun barrels on his shoulders quickly lit up and blasted towards Jimmy's face!

Jimmy: “!!!!!”

"bite!"

The broadcast sounded again, "Congratulations to Pei Qi for successfully defeating Jimmy and taking the first place in the knockout round."

“Click.”

Pei Qi slowly opened the training cabin and walked out.

Jimmy's eyes turned red with anger. He glared at him angrily, looking annoyed and unwilling.

Pei Qi raised his chin towards him and smiled confidently.

As soon as he stepped off the stage, Dirk surrounded him excitedly, "Pei Qi, you're amazing! I thought I was going to be in big trouble this time! It's all my fault. I thought the data was reliable, but Jimmy changed his mecha at the last minute, catching me off guard. I almost thought you were going to be in big trouble this time!"

Dirk kept talking, his eyes showing no sign of hiding his admiration for Pei Qi.

Pei Qi is awesome!

When he saw the attribute suppression, he couldn't help but worry for Pei Qi. He didn't expect that the more unfavorable the situation was, the better this kid performed. This made him feel relieved.

"fine."

Pei Qi twisted his stiff neck and said, "However, the training during this period has been really tiring. I want to go back and rest for a while."

Hearing this, Dirk quickly said eagerly, "Then you have to get some rest. The championship game is next week, you can't be careless!"

"Um."

As soon as Pei Maomao returned home, he couldn't wait to roll onto the soft bed and started typing on the communicator.

Jade Pendant: "Humph! I've successfully advanced to the finals. Isn't that impressive?"

LL: “Yeah, that’s amazing.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Maomao immediately pouted and replied dissatisfiedly, "If you're awesome, then that's awesome. What do you mean by 'terrific'? I haven't even started the finals yet, and you're already trying to taunt me?"

Looking at Pei Qi's confident attack, Lu Xuan curled his lips and asked, "What? Are you trying to give me a hard time now? These dark horses are really amazing. They haven't even won the championship yet, and they're already giving people a hard time!"

Pei Maomao: “!”

Be brave and stop speaking ill of cats!

Pei Maomao corrected him dissatisfiedly, "Who gave you a hard time? I successfully advanced to the finals, and you didn't even praise me. You even played dirty tricks on me. It's fine if you played dirty tricks on me, but you even complained first. Can you still have a good chat?"

Seeing Pei Qi's angry outburst, Lu Xuan immediately raised the white flag and said, "Sorry, it's my fault."

Seeing that Caesar had given in, Pei Maomao's expression improved a little. He asked, "What else?"

"Congratulations on making it to the finals! Pei Qi is the best!"

Perhaps because he was afraid that words wouldn't be enough to express it clearly, Lu Xuan even sent him a voice message. The slightly upturned tone of his voice was like a constantly shaking cat toy, which was particularly attractive.

Pei Maomao rolled around on the bed and said excitedly, "Caesar, the 500,000 yuan bonus is right in front of us!"

Isn’t this the first pot of gold to make a fortune?

LL: “Yeah.”

Jade pendant: "Then will you come on the day of my finals?"

LL: “Yes.”

Pei Maomao raised the corners of his lips slightly and muttered, "Then, then, before the game, can you come over and practice with me when you're free?"

LL: “We’re running out of time.”

Pei Qi: "..."

Humph, you stingy guy!

The dissatisfied Pei Maomao kicked the pillow several times in a row.

Jade pendant: "Then did you give the gift I gave you to Lu Xuan? What did he say?"

Lu Xuan: “…”

Lu Xuan tilted his head, trying to organize his words. "He received it. He thanked you for remembering his birthday. He was very excited. Thank you for remembering his birthday. He wanted to give you a gift in return, but he didn't know what you wanted, so he asked me to ask."

Pei Qi raised the corners of his lips and replied neatly, "Oh, no need to bother. I prepared a gift for him, not expecting a gift in return. He can give me anything in return, as long as it's thoughtful."

"Do you really want to?" Lu Xuan chewed over this sentence over and over again.

The finals arrived as scheduled.

Pei Qi had already turned into a megaphone and announced the matter widely.

In his group of four old friends, he repeatedly urged them, "During the finals, you must come and cheer me on!"

Dongnanxixi: "Don't worry! I will definitely come!"

I won’t use metaphors: “No problem.”

As the competition intensified, there were fewer and fewer contestants left, and the lounges for them to rest became more and more spacious. Now they each had three people in a lounge, and there were long sofas in the lounge for them to rest. There were drinks and fruits on the tables, and each lounge was even equipped with a small refrigerator. The service was so thoughtful and the arrangements were so meticulous.

Pei Qi leaned against a corner of the sofa, glancing at the large "live broadcast" screen out of the corner of his eye, and occasionally looking down at the communicator.

His communication with Caesar only lasted until last week, and Caesar hadn't replied to him since the last message.

Pei Qi: "..."

Although he knew that the army had strict discipline, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Caesar "disappearing from the face of the earth".

Caesar had promised him he would come to watch his finals, but what happened? He was almost on stage, and there was no sign of Caesar.

Although there were three people sitting in the lounge, none of them knew each other and no one took the initiative to start a conversation. The room was quiet, with only the sound of the "live broadcast" projector.

There was a click, and that handsome face appeared at the door. "Is Pei Qi in this lounge?"

Hearing this, Pei Maomao suddenly raised his head. When he saw Caesar coming, he changed his dejected look and immediately pounced on him. Without hesitation, he hung on Caesar and muttered confidently, "Why did you come just now?"

Lu Xuan caught him steadily and said with a smile, "Hasn't the game started yet? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Isn't it about to start? And why don't you even reply to the message now?" Pei Qi frowned in dissatisfaction, his little mouth was about to pout to the sky.

"There's no signal on the road."

Lu Xuan looked exhausted. He came in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to change his dark green military boots.

Lu Xuan's sudden visit startled everyone in the lounge.

Xiang Cheng swallowed hard, President?

Seeing them being so affectionate, Xiang Cheng was struck by a thunderbolt. Could what they said on the forum be true? Are they really a couple?

Xiang Cheng was like a badger in a melon field, jumping around and eating the freshest melons.

Before he could react, Gu Wei, who was sitting on the other side, had already taken the initiative to approach him and start a conversation. "Senior Caesar! Ahhhhhh! I'm your fan! Can you give me an autograph? I watched the National Cup last year from home for a long time. Senior, your moves are really awesome!"

Lu Xuan looked at Pei Qi sideways and asked, "Can I sign?"

Gu Wei: “!!!!”

Senior, are you dominated by your wife?

Why do you need Pei Qi's consent even to sign your name?

Pei Qi looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why, "No, she asked for your autograph. Why are you looking at me?"

"I'm here to cheer you on in the competition. As for other additional items, of course they need your consent." Lu Xuan said as a matter of course.

Gu Wei looked at Pei Qi eagerly and pleaded, "Mr. Pei, can you ask Senior Caesar to sign for me?"

Pei Qi: "..."

Seeing the ball kicked to him, he quickly responded, "Okay."

All I heard was the announcement, "Contestant #3 Pei Qi and Contestant #6 Bai Jia, please go to the stand and get ready to go on stage."

Lu Xuan smiled at him, "Pei Qi, good luck in the competition!"

"Um."
