Chapter 80 Star Region Tournament First Game (Part 6)

In the office of the director of the Star Navigation Division 3, Gao Siqi was looking at the light screen in front of him.

In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the Star Navigation Competition adopts a cross-questioning method. Therefore, the questions for the Central Star Region Competition come from the competition organizing committee members who come from the Southeast Star Region.

"Putting pressure on the leading team, testing the navigators' ability to withstand pressure and adapt..." Gao Siqi said thoughtfully, "They're really ruthless."

As she spoke, she casually swiped the live broadcast screen aside and flipped to another sheet showing the evaluation of each team.

Although the human resources department of the Star Navigation Department has been evaluating each participating team and focusing on their performance since the preliminaries, after entering the Star Navigation Competition, the Star Navigation Department established a more detailed and complete evaluation system and screening criteria.

Every team that entered the Star Navigation Competition was completely in the Star Navigation Department's sights. The Star Navigation Department's Human Resources Special Group, along with the three division heads, including Gao Siqi, would rate and comment on each team based on their own opinions.

Gao Siqi held his chin and saw himself shining in various colors on the light screen. The five members of the special team were doing their best to analyze and record the competition, and a string of team names such as "Colorful" and "Scorching Sun" were highlighted.

In the team potential column, Colorful's score took the lead, while Lieyang's score kept falling.

Gao Siqi looked at the words on the light screen and smiled in a good mood.

In fact, although Lieyang suffered a Waterloo at the beginning of the second qualifying match, if it weren't for the colorful contrast, they would still be an extremely eye-catching seed team in the Central Star Region.

However, because of their own extraordinary talents and the Ming family's powerful status as future stars who had been highly praised for many years... they were ruthlessly and seemingly easily trampled under the feet of the dark horse Wucaibanlan.

Even though Lieyang had put up a bit of resistance when he was destroyed by Mu Baixing's sudden burst of advanced mental power, this time he was torn apart and swallowed by LUCE's ingenious swallowing, compression and explosion...

Lieyang didn't even have time to struggle before he was tragically shattered into pieces.

"Lieyang's performance was truly dismal," Gao Siqi muttered to himself, shaking his head. "If I could find out the true identities of the colorful contestants, I'd personally give them a bonus."

"Thanks to them for presenting such an ugly blazing sun in front of the screens of hundreds of trillions of people."

Among these light screens of hundreds of trillions of people, one undoubtedly belongs to Ming Zhilang.

The man was wearing a white military uniform, but his face was ashen. After seeing the Sun Starship being destroyed by the colorful star, he could no longer control his temper and pushed the light screen away.

The virtual projection screen crashed into the white wall next to the office, but it didn't shatter or extinguish. The image on the screen simply embedded itself into the wall, its lines clear, and the comments scrolling past the live broadcast room never stopped.

"Ahhhhh! What kind of crazy competition system has the organizing committee used?! I'm really... I'm really excited!"

"Let's fight! This kind of match is really entertaining! I really want to see the Rangers fight! The Rangers have been quietly making a fortune thanks to Mulan's spiritual power! I really want to see them punished!"

"Thank you for letting my team go! I'm wondering... Colorful... are they going to go on a killing spree in this match?! The other teams probably don't know about LUCE's Devouring Explosion and Explosive Cannon yet?! Isn't this a one-hit-one-kill!"

"Of course not! Lieyang was shot down!"

"Honestly, Lieyang was shot down by Wucaiqi for the second time, right? He didn't even put up a fight. That's outrageous. He's totally unworthy of the name!"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs! Can you imagine that the mental power of an observer can cause such a terrifying effect?!"

"What the above person said is correct, but the above person above, I agree with your last half sentence! Is Lieyang's reputation mostly exaggerated? To be honest, ever since Ming Zhilang's last speech about the Black Tide Star Sea, everything the Ming family does seems like a show. Did Lieyang get his ranking in the last Star Navigation Competition by luck?"

"You reminded me, Lieyang was eliminated from Xinghai right from the start in the preliminaries and ended up in last place..."

Ming Zhilang looked at the constantly refreshing comments, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

"What the hell are Xiaoyan and Feilun doing?!" He couldn't help but curse, "Let them show off during the Star Navigation Competition! They're so good! They only know how to embarrass me!"

Zhao Ying frowned, "Why are they blaming Xiaoyan and the others for such a colorful mistake?"

Ming Zhilang became even angrier upon hearing this, slamming the table twice. "Our Third Army is so short of starship designers! We said we'd investigate Lucé's identity and try to recruit him!" He angrily said, "Look what's happening now! We didn't even find out his identity! Instead, we've made an enemy of him!"

"Who knew the Star Navigation Competition Organizing Committee had such a strict confidentiality system?" Zhao Ying said angrily. "It's impossible to bribe the organizing committee members! I did contact a few staff members, but they were completely clueless about Lucé's identity! And speaking of vengeance, did Feren know it was a colorful thing before the Maze Star opened fire?! How could Xiaoyan not be angry when his energy crystal was stolen?!"

She had no qualms about opening fire and injuring people during the energy crystal grab, and bluntly said, "If it were you, wouldn't you open fire?!"

"The hatred has already been formed." She said unhappily, "Looking at Wucai Bianlan's state, it's better to settle it once and for all."

Ming Zhilang sneered: "I haven't said that you act without thinking on Maze Star."

"I'm running for executive officer of the Capital Planet. With so many eyes watching, yet you're so eager to have the Legion deal with Wucailan... If someone catches me by the hair, forget about running! Our whole family might suffer greatly!"

Just as Zhao Ying was about to speak, Ming Zhilang sighed deeply again.

"My campaign for the Capital Star Executive Officer hasn't been smooth at all." He slumped back in his chair.

First, the audio of the dispute between him and Ming Zhuofeng when they were young about the black tide outbreak in the North Star Region was posted online, causing the Ming family's reputation to decline significantly during that period.

The storm finally subsided, but was overshadowed by the popularity of the next Star Navigation Competition... Lieyang was repeatedly defeated by Wucai Bianlan, causing doubts about the Ming family's flashy and superficial nature to arise again on the Star Internet.

"There's no follow-up on the last cooperation with the Minister of Resources?" Ming Zhilang asked Zhao Ying with a little annoyance.

They wanted the development rights for that resource planet, not only to expand the Third Legion's resource base, but also to connect with the Minister of Resources and further promote future cooperation...

Zhao Ying shook her head.

"That time I invited the Minister of Resources to dinner to watch the live broadcast of the Star Navigation Competition." She said this with a bit of annoyance, "It happened to be the preliminaries match between Xiaoyan and Wucailan."

The scene of Lieyang retreating step by step under the bombardment of Mu Boxing's golden mental artillery obviously made the Minister of Resources doubt the strength of the Ming family.

Ming Zhilang: “…”

Ming Zhilang was angry and hateful. He couldn't bear to watch the live broadcast of the Star Navigation Competition. He couldn't help but turn off the screen and slammed the electronic pen on the table.

The Ming family is on the decline.

The Ming family's reputation on Starnet changed, and the cooperation that was once a sure thing was terminated... The power and glory he had worked so hard to obtain seemed to be lost in a way he had never expected.

This thought arose in his mind like an omen, causing Ming Zhilang to shiver involuntarily.

no.

He quickly thought of a countermeasure... He must find an opportunity to restore the Ming family's reputation.

*

No one knew how anxious the head of the Ming family was at this moment, and no one cared about it.

Even Mingyan was now completely focused on the newly issued competition rules.

For a moment, there was an uproar in the cabs of each team.

"Why does such bad luck have to happen to us!" Cui Xiaoduo, who had just been rubbing his hands and talking about robbing someone, couldn't help but cry out in injustice, shouting, "Brother Yu, what the hell is going on! Look at this damn new rule they triggered!——"

"Can we throw the treasure chests?" The Brave and Striving First team, who had been rapidly collecting treasure chests and carefully concealing their whereabouts, suddenly had their locations exposed. Their original plan of secretly getting rich was instantly ruined. The teammates nervously discussed their next move, and said uncertainly, "We don't want much! Just advancing is enough! How about throwing the treasure chests to get to fourth place?"

"How do we throw it away after it's already in the collection box!" a teammate said. "Or else someone will shoot it down and cause it to crash! Are we just passing this hot potato to someone else?"

"Damn it! This is a bit dangerous! Don't accidentally fall out of the top 20! Who knows if we can find another nest of swarming star beasts..."

Inside the colorful cab, the people with colorful hair looked at each other in bewilderment.

But no matter what, several people knew clearly that it was impossible to pass the competition by throwing treasure chests and getting a good ranking. They knew their boss's temper very well.

Mu Boxing may seem aloof, but he's not one to shy away from risk. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to forcibly seize control of the exploration team from its former leader, rebuild his base in the outer harbor, and gradually expand it...

The boss will never give up something that is truly beneficial to him.

As for Luce...

Their LU brother's avatar was wearing thick bottle-bottom glasses, and when he first joined the team, he looked like a pure and good student who grew up in a safe star region, but now...

Although their brother LU often had an innocent and well-behaved expression, as his strength improved by leaps and bounds...

The red-haired man who just watched Mingyu blow Lieyang into pieces said: Their brother LU is now more powerful than the boss!

There's no way I'm going to give up on the treasure chest!

"It seems like a starship is coming!" While the red-haired man was still complaining in his heart, the orange-haired man was still staring at the instrument monitoring screen without blinking. After seeing the situation, he shouted loudly, "There's a starship coming right behind us!"

They were unlucky; there was another team nearby. They were following the coordinates, but they weren't close, just following from a distance. Clearly, after assessing their own strength against the colorful ones, they felt a single-handed victory was unlikely, so they wanted to wait for more to gather and attack.

"How do we get there?" Mu Baixing said indifferently, looking at Mingyu.

"Go west." Ming Yu's expression was calm as he used his mental power to search the nearby terrain. "There are mountains and canyons to the west. The terrain is complex and can easily escape! But in front of the canyon is a large swamp. The mud inside seems to block energy waves. My mental power can't even see what's inside..."

Mu Baixing hummed and continued, "Maybe we can encounter a star beast."

Mingyu: “…”

Mingyu looked up and smiled.

Mu Baixing said exactly what he wanted to say!

The young man then gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "Brother Mu is right!"

Even if they become everyone's target, they must not forget to look for the golden treasure chest!

This is the most important thing!

The starship is accelerating.

The driver raised the corner of his lower lip because of the designer's praise.

His smile was fleeting, and then he looked at the starship chasing behind him and asked simply, "Can we fight it?"

Mingyu raised an eyebrow, understanding what he meant.

In order to prevent more starships from following the coordinates, they must leave their current location quickly. Mu Baixing does not want to turn around and fight with the enemy, so he wants to drive forward at full speed and let Mingyu shoot down the starships behind.

Mingyu had already seen the opponent's starship level from his mental vision.

The gray starship's hull was covered with patches of observer's mental power, the main gun muzzle was fully charged, and the opponent's pilot and observer's mental power levels were between BA.

Even Ming Yan's burning S-level mental power couldn't stop him... BA-level mental power was even less likely to resist his devouring, compression, and explosion of a dragon.

The young man was confident at this point, so he relaxed and teased Mu Baixing: "You are the pilot responsible for attacking the enemy. You have to rely on me for this, Brother Mu?"

Mu Baixing is funny.

"You don't give me permission to operate the main gun barrel," he said, "and the secondary gun barrel is limited by its structure and cannot be turned backwards, and its attack capability is not high."

The man tilted his head to look at himself and realized he was a designer.

"Didn't you already have this in mind when you designed this starship?" He saw through Mingyu's thoughts and asked calmly, "In a critical battle, I can only rely on you."
