Chapter 88 Future Interstellar Dragon Aotian
Even in "Star Ocean", Mu Lingnan blinked hard, but finally couldn't help but yawned.
This fully demonstrates that mental fatigue cannot be compensated by sleeping at all. Even in the game world, you still have to sleep.
Mu Lingnan noticed Xie Xiangchen's concerned gaze and perked up, "Nothing, I just haven't been sleeping well lately."
After all, she was really overwhelmed because she was caught between the black cat she brought home and Cecil.
Cecil was so furious that he could not come in person to kill the black cat who was acting coquettishly in front of his sister and panted at him as soon as his sister turned around. He was so furious that even his adjutant did not dare to offend him easily.
Mu Lingnan was like this. In her left ear, Cecil was secretly putting on eye drops, and in her right ear, she was hearing the pitiful meows of the black cat. Her headache was exploding.
But Cecil is far away, and the black cat is right in front of us. Although Cecil is beautiful and has a sweet voice, the black cat is equally beautiful and graceful. More importantly... who can resist a kitten who will let you pat its head and rub its paws?
So Mu Lingnan looked torn, but in fact she was leaning towards the weak and pitiful black cat. Cecil was so perceptive. He brought up Mu Lingnan, so how could he not see the subtle preference in his sister's heart? Now he really disliked the black cat.
Mu Lingnan had a very hard time during this period, but she was determined not to go back. This made it difficult for her. Cecil would video call her on time every day, and within three minutes he would switch to the topic of the black cat. Mu Lingnan was really tired.
Cecil asked her why she kept a black cat, and Mu Lingnan insisted that she took it home because she felt sorry for it as a stray cat. She had now held her ground, and played dumb until the very end, allowing Cecil to test her. Cecil was unable to force a confession from his sister, and the matter gradually fell through.
Mu Lingnan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't know what had happened to Cecil that prevented him from killing her immediately, she chose to be a happy ostrich.
She hadn't achieved her goal in Ino yet, so she wasn't going back.
Thinking of the original purpose, Mu Lingnan calmed down. She had been working with Elton and Xie Xiangchen for many days. The next step was to get to know the rest of the team.
At this point, they had been waiting for a long time, but Captain Lei Zhe and the others had not yet come online. Mu Lingnan couldn't help but wonder: "Did we remember the time wrong? Why haven't the captain and the others arrived yet?"
"Well, it's a bit strange." Elton touched his chin. He called up the friend interface, sent a message to the captain, and casually asked, "By the way, Xiao Lingnan, how is your big black cat living?"
He secretly wanted to find out the news about the leader.
"Ah... I think it's pretty good." Mu Lingnan answered hesitantly, "Mimi lives well." She often meows at her brother, and it feels like scolding him is very dirty. This should be considered as being very adaptable and lively.
"Speaking of which, Mimi, what's its name?"
"Hey, isn't her name Mimi?" Elton blinked and pretended to be innocent.
Mu Lingnan looked at him dimly. She waited for a moment, then realized that Elton still had that incredibly natural expression. She couldn't help but doubt herself: "No, that's not the case."
"That's not the case no matter how you think about it!"
She glared at Elton, who waved his hands quickly and said pitifully, "But if you call him Mimi, he'll agree. I really don't know his name, right, Xiao Xiangchen?"
Xie Xiangchen received his look for help, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded with difficulty.
Could it be that its name is really Mimi?
Mu Lingnan believed that Xie Xiangchen would not lie. Perhaps... it was just a coincidence.
She couldn't help but frown and think hard. Fortunately, Lei Zhe arrived in time and interrupted their conversation.
Lei Zhe, who is 2.2 meters tall, touched his head in a simple and honest manner: "I'm sorry, due to some unexpected circumstances, we are late. Sorry, sorry."
Mu Lingnan looked curiously at the two people standing next to him. One of them had a long red cloak behind him. Feeling Mu Lingnan's gaze, he whistled to greet her. Mu Lingnan remembered that his name was Qu Feizhang.
"Junior sister, please give me some advice. I'm a mage, specializing in elements, and I practice both lightning and fire."
The other person was wearing a black dress that wrapped around her exquisite figure. Her expression was very cold, but she still nodded slightly to the schoolmate to show her friendliness. She was Idiya.
"Idiya, the necromancer."
Mu Lingnan greeted the seniors and couldn't help but wonder, "Captain, there are only six of us here, but doesn't the University League Tournament require seven?"
Elton understood: "It's Asalin, right? He withdrew, right? If I'm not mistaken, the captain must have been delayed because he was dealing with this matter before."
Lei Zhe smiled bitterly: "Elton is right. Asarin, ah, I persuaded him several times, but in the end he still felt it was meaningless and insisted on quitting."
"Isn't there a candidate?" Xie Xiangchen asked.
"You all know that the candidates are too weak." Lei Zhe sighed deeply. As the saying goes, it is better to have nothing than to have someone of poor quality. If he really can't find the seventh person, he would rather have six people fielding, so as not to force seven people and drag the team down.
"It's okay. The organizers only said there can be a maximum of seven players on the field. They didn't say we can't have only six."
Lei Zhe said this in a casual manner.
Mu Lingnan hesitated to speak. She had never imagined that Yinuo had become so difficult that she couldn't even gather the seven people who would participate in the competition. However...
Her eyes inadvertently swept over Idiya, the necromancer, who was wearing a black veil. Judging from the students' occupations and races, the Ino Federal Military Academy was indeed the most inclusive academy in the entire galaxy.
But because of this, there are good and bad ones mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish the pearls.
"Lingnan and Xiangchen, this is your first time participating this year. Let me tell you the rules of the competition..." Lei Zhe kept chattering. Mu Lingnan had looked up some information in advance, but she also listened very carefully at this time.
Held every three years, the University Alliance Competition is the most influential event among universities, drawing significant public attention from across the star regions. Its results determine the strength of each university's top students, often influencing their reputation and the quality of next year's enrollment.
In the absence of large-scale war, the four major clans also used this competition to showcase their new generation's strength and newly developed offensive weapons. Although the competition was carried out with the utmost protection, casualties were still inevitable in every competition.
In this regard, it is no wonder that Asarin insisted on withdrawing after risking his life and not getting a good ranking. It is no wonder that the Ino Military Academy team, which is famous for raising idlers, cannot recruit many new players. It is human nature and inevitable.
The competition allows the use of magical weapons and mechas within the permitted range. This rule may have previously benefited the human race with its weak physical body, but with the advancement of technology, more and more races are turning their attention to mechas.
Mechas, which allow even those with weak magical talents to fight, were originally invented by the human race. After all, the human race, the largest in number, lacks inherent magical talent compared to other races.
At first, this novelty was not taken seriously, but as the benefits of mechas for mid- and low-end warriors became greater and greater, it has come to the attention of the world.
Subsequently, inspired by mechas, the great arcanists also used their imagination to gradually create military equipment such as magic cannons, interstellar battleships, laser swords, and individual weapons, truly realizing: all beings are equal under the holy rank.
But unfortunately, before reaching the holy level, which is known as demigod, the current technology is still too weak.
The University Alliance Competition obviously will not allow the appearance of star-level weapons, although students may not be able to obtain such things. In order to prevent accidents, the highest-level lethal weapons allowed in the competition must not be higher than the maximum size of the human level.
There is different news this year. It is said that due to many problems in previous years when students were allowed to bring their own weapons, there are rumors of rule reforms, but no official documents have been released. Lei Zhe introduced that the rules of previous years will still be referred to.
In addition, the competition adopts a seven-person team competition system to test team cooperation ability. The venue is random and divided into group stage, quarterfinals, semifinals and finals.
The group stage adopts a round-robin points system, with the winning team earning two points and the losing team earning zero points. If the game reaches the maximum time set and there is still no winner, it will be declared a draw and each team will earn one point.
The team with the highest points among the eight groups will advance to the quarterfinals, and from the quarterfinals to the final, the outcome is determined by one game, with no chance for trial and error.
In fact, the urgency of the competition schedule also puts an extreme test on the players' mental qualities. Taking into account unexpected situations such as injuries, and perhaps a bit of luck, the overall ability of the entire team must be strong enough.
After Lei Zhe finished explaining, Mu Lingnan applauded. Fortunately, this was a virtual world, otherwise Lei Zhe would have been thirsty.
They chose to train in Star Ocean because it has a gameplay system very similar to the League Tournament, which can effectively train the team members' on-the-spot skills. However, virtual reality is not as good as reality, and further practice is still needed in the real world.
Mu Lingnan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She came to Ino, firstly because of the old wizard's confusing prophecy, and secondly because she wanted to participate in this competition to prove herself. She didn't have a brother, so she could do it on her own.
She didn't want to enter the Celestial Clan's university as it would bring back some bad memories. The schools in other races' star fields were not very convenient either, so the human race naturally became her first choice.
In fact... Mu Lingnan originally thought that Cecil would also participate in the competition, and was eager to defeat Cecil in the competition, but later she regretfully discovered that with Cecil's strength, participating in this competition was purely bullying, so she had to give up.
It doesn't matter. There are people she hates in the Celestial Tribe's Ssengka Academy too. Beating him up will be the same. Mu Lingnan comforted herself.
Although the Ino Military Academy has not even gathered all its members yet, Mu Lingnan firmly believes that they will be able to break through the siege, kill their way to the front of the Celestial Clan, and give those annoying guys a slap in the face.
With beautiful expectations in her heart, Mu Lingnan put a lot of effort into today's training.
When they parted, Elton whispered a secret to her: "Qu Feizhang and Yidiya are ours."
Mu Lingnan:
She was shocked: "Forget about Idiya, why is Qu Feizhang also involved? He is a pure human, right? And isn't Asarin also a pure human? Also, does the captain know about this?"
Questions were fired one after another like a machine gun. Elton was calm and composed: "Of course the captain doesn't know. Unfortunately, Asarin is not. Although Qu Feizhang is a human, he also grew up in the slums."
"Any other questions?" Elton smiled, looking very easy to talk to. He said sincerely, "It's just a coincidence. We didn't expect Captain Lei Zhe to be so good at judging people. He always accidentally pulls our people in."
I should ask you how many people you have stuffed into Inori!
Mu Lingnan lit a candle for Captain Lei Zhe. You are surrounded by dangerous people. You have worked so hard.
