Chapter 105 Chapter 105 It's suddenly so cloudy in the middle of summer. ...
As soon as the whistle of the game sounded, dozens of mechas of various shapes rushed into the field impatiently.
On the ceiling of the entrance, twelve huge yellow buckets are strung together with metal poles. Once the buckets are filled with water, they immediately rotate 180 degrees along the poles.
The water in the bucket poured down, soaking the contestants at the front of the race.
Bubbles kept popping up in the air, filling the entire stadium.
The normally agile mecha now appears somewhat bulky due to the intrusion of moisture.
But the smoothness of the bubbles made up for it.
For a moment, the water slide at the entrance was filled with mechas tumbling.
"Help!" "It's so slippery."
"Who designed the track? Come out and talk to me about life after the race."
Several mechas slid and split, and one mecha even flew out directly from the slide.
The audience raised their hands, their eyes following the mecha as it went away.
The pilot's voice became smaller and smaller, gradually turning into a tiny dot in the sea.
"thump--"
Make a perfect splash.
"Wow, a triple and a half twist in the air, quite a difficult move."
"Take away the highest score, take away the lowest score, and forget about the rest. Anyway, it's full marks."
There was a lot of noise in the venue. Tao Ying stood at the end of the colorful track, queuing slowly, and didn't seem to be busy with the competition.
Tao Ying lowered her head and glanced at her laptop. There was no new news.
It seems that there has been no progress on the other side of the sea.
She thought about it, walked to the slide, and sat down cross-legged.
Nan Gua stood at the bottom of the track and waved to Tao Ying.
"Xiaoying, aren't you coming down?"
"I'll come down later. You can catch up with them first."
"good!"
While the two were talking, two or three more mechas flew out.
Tao Ying sighed, "Oh!" and joked, "Now we don't even need to design a mecha ejection device on the front lines. All we need is a slide and a little foamy water, and our pilots can fly so far."
Bo Mo replied seriously, "I strongly doubt that our pilots will be able to reach their destination alive using this transmission device."
Tao Ying: "No doubt, the players just now are most likely in the medical cabin."
Nan Gua was curious: "How do you know?"
"Their team's popularity suddenly surpassed ours and soared into the top three."
"The live broadcast room was filled with messages like 'Rest in peace'."
“…”
"It's suddenly so cloudy in the middle of summer. Why don't you try this trick, Shadow? It seems to boost your popularity."
Tao Ying took one look at the slide and decisively refused.
"I have other sinister tricks... Ha-chu."
You just said insidious, right?
Lin Biege was about to complain about the black-hearted captain not even bothering to act, but her sneeze interrupted his train of thought, and he muttered:
"Why are you so cold? Are you really running a fever? Don't force yourself. It's just a warm-up match."
Nan Gua spoke softly and concernedly, "The environment here is indeed quite different from that on Chester. Xiaoying, are you having trouble acclimatizing to Fuwa? You've been a little listless these past few days."
"Yeah, he's still worried, staying in his room all day and not even going out to bully this teammate."
Lin Biege crossed his arms and spoke in a firm tone.
"There's something wrong with you."
Tao Ying casually replied, "The captain is so kind, how could he bully his teammates?" But she thought about it and realized that she didn't seem to have talked to her teammates much in the past few days, let alone teasing Lin Biege.
Her hand operating the computer paused.
Her absent-mindedness was so obvious that even Lin Biege, who was a thick-skinned man, could notice it.
unwise.
Tao Ying nodded seriously, "Indeed, I'm feeling a little unwell and want to rest. This game depends on you, my trustworthy teammates. Especially you, Lin Biege."
"We've known each other for a long time."
Lin Biege, who was suddenly called out for some reason, had a question mark over his head.
Why did Captain Blackheart sound so wistful? Being so sentimental was uncharacteristic of her.
But Lin Biege reacted quickly.
Tao Ying is probably up to something bad.
But considering that this black-hearted captain has been feeling unwell recently, she pretended not to notice.
It was definitely not because of some "trusted teammates" that made her happy.
Lin Biege chuckled twice and patted his chest to promise:
"Yes, we have known each other for a long time. Leave it to me. I will definitely help everyone win back that starship."
"After the professional league is over, we will go on an interstellar journey together!"
Lin Biege then glanced at Bo Mo beside him and said, "I won't take anyone else with me except you."
Bo Mo sneered: "Who wants to be with you? Besides, I've known her longer than you."
Lin Biege: “?”
"You want to compete in this too?"
The two men looked at each other, rubbed their hands together, and started working again.
Nan Gua looked at his two teammates in the center of the track, who had completely forgotten about the race and were only thinking about how to push each other into the water. He hurriedly asked, "Um, Xiaoying?"
Tao Ying blinked her eyes and said, "Let them be."
·
The competition is in full swing.
The host raised his arm and said, "The Yikou Latiao team will be the first to enter the second level!"
At the end of the slide, four short and fat mechas rolled down in a spherical shape at high speed, activated their thrusters in the air, and stopped perfectly at the end of the runway of the first level under the momentum.
There is a distance of about a hundred meters between the first and second levels.
There are more than a dozen huge inflatable transparent spheres floating on the sea, about ten meters high, just big enough to fit a mecha.
The offshore track is firmly fixed by metal brackets, and the sea water hits the edge of the track from time to time, creating white waves.
"Come on, Team Yikou again!"
Next is the Yikou Spicy Strips team, which is fully sponsored by the spicy strips manufacturer of the same name, and the team members are all internal employees of the spicy strips manufacturer.
The appearance of the entire team's mecha adopts the design of spicy strips packaging, and it looks like a huge human-shaped billboard.
"This design perfectly combines the cool aesthetics of a mecha with mouth-watering food. It's truly a unique interstellar experience..."
After the competition staff finished speaking the slogan, they hung up the microphone expressionlessly.
"Finally, I'm done. This spicy snack manufacturer's mecha is really appetizing. But who wants to drool just looking at a mecha? My taste and vision are messed up. Who designed it?"
"I heard it's the mechanical cat of the spicy snack factory owner."
"Did its cat eat the electric mushroom?"
Amidst the complaints of the competition staff, the cumin, five-spice, spicy, and garlic-flavored mechas were standing on the left side of the shore, thinking about how to cross the "river."
"The other side is too far away. It looks like we need to get into an inflatable ball and roll on the water to reach the next level."
This is the captain’s phone, the cumin spicy noodles number.
The Wuxiang Latiao account agreed: "And this should be more eye-catching."
Spicy Flavor yelled, "Strong!"
Spicy garlic noodles: "Medium."
The Yilai Latiao team quickly reached a consensus and picked up the inflatable ball.
But as soon as Cumin Spicy Tiao's hand touched the ball and squeezed it, the ball made a dry "pop" sound and was quickly bounced to the other side.
Cumin spicy noodles account: "..."
The mecha's hands were not flexible, and the surface of the sphere was very smooth, and coupled with the fact that it was wet, there was no place to grip.
They dug in the water for a long time, sweating profusely, and finally succeeded in getting into the ball.
The four spicy snack warriors then began to run slowly.
But no matter how he ran, it was like he was walking on a wall in the water, getting farther and farther away from the other side.
"Oh, unfortunately, the Zailai Yikou Spicy Noodles team lost their cumin flavor competitor. Now, only the five-spice, spicy, and garlic flavor competitors are left on the track, still striving towards the finish line. However, the popularity of the Spicy Noodles team is definitely on the rise!"
"The spicy snack factory is really trying hard for publicity."
“Charge!”
Because the Latiao team's mecha paint was too abstract, they surpassed the top three and became the number one in the popularity list.
The Space Ghost Team is currently ranked fourth.
…
In the sixth track, most of the contestants have passed the first level, and only a few are still at the entrance.
In front of Tao Ying, two contestants slid down the water slide one after another.
One of them stepped on the float because it was too heavy and it collapsed.
The other one was knocked dizzy by the turntable and was finally thrown off the edge.
Only three mechas remained at the entrance.
One is Hengwo.
The other two were old-style mechas. Tao Ying observed them roughly and found that their movements were clumsy, so the operators should be ordinary mecha enthusiasts.
I participate in the competition purely out of interest.
The yellow mech held its head in fear and defended itself.
The pilot of the gray mecha was a little braver. He clenched his fists and stretched out his legs, but after seeing the long slide, he took two steps back and finally gave up the competition.
But the gray mecha did not leave the venue. It turned around and saw Hengwo, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then walked over uncoordinatedly and sat next to Hengwo.
A NFC request popped up on the screen.
Tao Ying paused, then answered the call. A woman appeared in the lower right corner of the panel.
The man sighed, lifted his sweaty hair from his ear, revealing the freckles on his cheeks, and then laughed embarrassedly.
"Are you also afraid of heights and don't dare go down?"
"About that." Tao Ying answered casually.
The woman had an expression that said, "As expected."
"I guessed it when I saw you sit down without hesitation. I was worried it would be embarrassing for me to sit here alone, but now that three people are afraid to leave, I feel relieved."
"By the way, you're driving a Hengwo? I have a connection with this mecha. I took a picture of it when I was a kid..."
Tao Ying was about to say that this person was probably too nervous and kept talking, but when he heard her words, he suddenly said "Oh?" and raised his head.
"Are you the one who took the photos before the fire?"
The woman didn't want to be involved in the fire, so she subconsciously retorted that it was not the case. After a moment of hesitation, she suddenly realized what was happening.
"How did you know that it was you who contacted me for photos of the fire?"
"I heard it from the people at Laiji Institute." Tao Ying said ambiguously.
The woman rubbed her legs and said self-deprecatingly, "Indeed, what a coincidence it is to run into the core figure of the Laiji Institute."
Tao Ying recognized that this man was one of the three mecha enthusiasts who had visited the Laiji Institute at night that year. Now he has shed his youthful spirit and is not as reckless as before.
The woman changed her tone. "I heard that Yuris has been court-martialed. He won't be able to escape punishment this time. Did I help with Tao Ying's matter?"
"Well, you've been a great help."
The woman said, "But I still feel it's not enough."
Tao Ying was puzzled: "What's not enough?"
"If I had come forward earlier... maybe the truth would have come out sooner, but I didn't have the courage."
Tao Ying chuckled softly twice.
"You are very brave. If I were you, I would not want to get involved in these troubles at all."
"Besides, even if you had stood up at that time, it would have just been one more corpse."
Tao Ying's last words were spoken in a low voice, and the woman didn't hear clearly. She leaned closer to the screen and asked, "What did you say?"
Tao Ying's eyes were kind: "It's nothing. Anyway, Tao Ying's spirit in heaven is very grateful to you. She wrote so in her diary."
woman:"……"
While the two were talking, the camera captured the only three remaining mechas at the entrance.
The host sounded puzzled, "What on earth is the captain of the Space Ghost Team thinking about in life? She and the 'Alice' are sitting across from each other at the entrance, seemingly discussing something."
"But we don't know the content. Anyway, let's take a look at her teammates in front of her!"
"Kashiwa grabbed the zipline, did a few crunches to increase her height, and then, with a beautiful leap, she crossed the platform and landed on the next spot."
"Player Lin follows closely behind."
"The two continued their pre-race rivalry, neither giving in. Ah, Lin was splashing water on his opponent's track! Kashiwa slipped and nearly fell into the sea."
"The Space Ghost Girls actually pulled off the most explosive move on the simplest track."
"And at this moment, contestant Nan is looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle."
The audience shook their heads: "There is really no team spirit at all."
"Captain, come out and give them some advice."
"Stop talking, the captain is still at the entrance and hasn't left yet."
