Lu Xiaoda slowly emerged from behind one of the garbage mountains.
This is an ordinary-looking boy; you could even say that if you threw him into a crowd, no one would remember what he looked like.
He was short, only about 1.6 meters tall, a bit overweight, with slightly dark skin, short hair, and a few freckles and acne scars on his face.
If you look closely, you can see that one of his arms is not a real arm, but a mechanical prosthetic...
Perhaps this is why he isn't very popular?
Lu Xiaoda seemed completely unaffected by the smell of the garbage dump, and said calmly, "Let's begin."
Liang Ao looked Lu Xiaoda up and down and let out a cold snort.
He's really lucky.
Instead of drawing players like Mu Xun, Lin Nai, Hua Lingze, Bai Liao, and Bai Shou, who are considered to be overpowered, they drew someone who seems to be the weakest and least noticeable among the current top 16, and who is also disabled!
"Come on." Liang Ao beckoned to him with a finger, his face full of contempt: "Don't say I didn't take care of the disabled. I'll let you make the first move."
Lu Xiaoda noticed the contempt in Liang Ao's eyes, but he showed no expression. In fact, he was already used to it and simply said "Oh".
Then, his hand reached out from behind him and pulled out a strange object.
It was a gadget similar to a game console controller, but its design was rather peculiar. It had a touchpad, four joysticks, and the remaining buttons were even more densely packed than those on a computer, making it unsettling for anyone with trypophobia. Clearly, the designer hadn't considered aesthetics at all.
"MechWarrior Toy No. 1, power on."
Lu Xiaoda threw out a small, capsule-like object.
"What's that?" Meng Feifei asked, a puzzled look on her face when she saw the capsule.
Truman recognized it immediately: "It's a space storage capsule. Theoretically, it has the same function as the system's item space. However, the items stored in it can be retrieved without downloading them online. It's also small and easy to carry, which can effectively avoid the predicament of not being able to download items when there is no signal. Many people are using it now... Of course, it's very expensive."
To be precise, it's extremely expensive, so most people would rather save their money to buy cultivation potions and soul crystals than spend money on this kind of thing...
After all, encountering a situation where the system has no signal is something you might never experience in your lifetime, so why waste the money?
The space capsule was dropped to the ground with a "click," then shook twice before bursting out with a "poof" sound, releasing white smoke.
The contents were then released from the capsule.
When Liang Ao first heard Lu Xiaoda say that what he threw was a toy, he immediately revealed a mocking smile.
Someone actually brought toys to a competition? Hahaha... What a genius...
However, Liang Ao's smile quickly froze on his face.
A huge dark shadow enveloped him.
It was a toy Gundam robot that was a full twenty meters tall! Its entire body was encased in a white metal shell, with every part fitting together precisely. In its right hand, it held a metallic, high-tech greatsword, and in its left hand, it held a super-sized hand cannon with a caliber large enough to fit four or five basketballs at once. At its feet were rocket-like thrusters that helped it float in the air.
What's most unbearable is that this toy robot is actually wearing a red cape on its back!! The overall style is incredibly juvenile; if you shrunk it a hundred times, it would look like one of those anime toys you'd put in an elementary school student's toy cabinet!
But now that it's been enlarged to a height of twenty meters, it's rather terrifying...
Liang Ao's face gradually turned deathly pale.
The toy robot in front of him was looking down at him, and its blue mechanical eyes seemed to be alive.
What the hell is this thing?!
Liang Ao subconsciously took a step back and swallowed.
"You...you're cheating, aren't you?! We're allowed to use weapons of this caliber in this competition?! It's obviously not legitimate equipment you can buy on the market, is it?!"
Liang Ao pointed at the Gundam robot and said, "Referee! Referee! I'm reporting this guy for cheating!"
There was a moment of silence.
Soon, the referee's voice transmission rang out: "Lu Xiaoda's mecha toy No. 1 falls within the scope of his personal extraordinary ability and has already been registered with the competition organizers, so it is not considered a violation."
Liang Ao stared wide-eyed: "What?! This doesn't count as cheating?! Are you blatantly lying?!"
"The game continues." The referee completely ignored him, and his voice disappeared after saying this.
Liang Ao: "You..."
"You just said I should make the first move, right?" Lu Xiaoda saw that Liang Ao had finally finished rambling and started operating the remote control in his hand: "Then I won't hold back."
"Mecha Toy No. 1, attack!"
"Click-clack..."
The eyes of the mecha toy #1 suddenly lit up with a "buzz".
The huge red cloak behind him fluttered, looking quite dashing at first glance.
Lin Nai was a little puzzled. There didn't seem to be any wind in the battle scene, so how did such a big cloak float up?
Then, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the toy robot had a fan-like device on its back; once activated, it could float away in a very stylish way...
Linnaeus was speechless.
Mech Toy No. 1 slowly raised its left hand to hold the huge hand cannon and aimed it at Liang Ao. White light energy could be faintly seen gathering inside the dark black muzzle.
Lu Xiaoda operated the remote control, his thumb moving the joystick and his index finger pressing the button, his expression serious: "Ultimate Destruction Beam, fire!"
Linnaeus: "..."
Night Child: "..."
Hua Lingze, Chu Men, Meng Feifei: "......"
Meng Feifei finally couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "This is so damn cringey!?!"
"boom--!!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a terrifying energy beam shot out from the hand cannon.
It hurtled straight towards Liang Ao!
Liang Ao was still standing there, looking completely bewildered.
As the white beam of light hurtled toward him, his pupils dilated.
