Chapter 168
Chapter 168
When the game end message popped up in the game system, the audience watching the game had not yet reacted. It was not until the live broadcast room's perspective switched to KID Mecha Master qingf that everyone realized that this Mecha Master had actually found the exit of the maze in the melee and chose to end the game.
【it's over! ? 】
[This is too sudden!] 】
【qingf ran to the exit of the maze. 】
Ji Qingfeng was looking for an exit non-stop. Fortunately, his mining son had already dug the road to the upper level. When he was besieged by Black Crow and BZZL1 on the way, Huo Yan helped him delay the pursuers from behind. He took advantage of the stealth characteristics of the stealth mecha that had no signal on the radar, and wandered around the upper maze, and finally found the exit to leave the maze in a certain angle at the highest point.
According to the rules of the competition, after all the searchlights are lit, the second conditional rule for ending the game is activated. The mecha team that leaves the maze first has special rights and has the priority to end the maze... and obviously, KID chose to end the game.
The audience, who were immersed in the excitement of the melee, finally came to their senses.
At the same time, the corresponding scoreboard popped up in the venue. KID ranked first with an 8-point advantage, Black Crow ranked second with 6 points, BZZL1 ranked third with 4 points, and finally Giant Bear, who was eliminated early, ranked fourth with 0 points.
Before the game started, no one expected this result.
KID, who seemed to be the worst among the four teams, actually won the first place! ?
【bzzl1 is so frustrated. 】
[Who could have thought of this result? The key is that the first 9 search points were lit up by Black Crow and bzzl1. 】
[Count what KID did?] 6 points for wiping out the giant bear, 1 point for stealing the searchlight point, 1 point for grabbing the head... If I were Black Crow and bzzl1, I would be so pissed off. 】
The moment the game was declared over, all the mecha masters stopped.
There was a lot of cursing in the bzzl1 communication channel, while in Black Crow's channel, people were worrying about the last head that was snatched away.
Wen Yi put away his heavy cannon, and saw the gun mecha suspended in the distance in the remaining smoke of the artillery fire. At the last moment, his heavy cannon was still locked on trace, and trace completed the operation of sniping with the assistance of his teammates while avoiding his attacks.
Chi Liz stopped halfway: "Then I don't have to go back."
The ability of a gunner mecha master can be seen from his operations. He predicted trace, but trace's prediction was several steps ahead of him.
In the initial strategic selection, they gave priority to the searchlight point because they did not want the searchlight point score to become the key point that determines the outcome of the battlefield. However, the game changed when KID wiped out the giant bear. They underestimated KID's strength.
Wen Yi listened to the regretful voices of other mecha masters in the Black Crow channel and said, "If you lose, you lose. It's because you are not as skilled as others."
In the Gale Base, Qi Sicheng stood up and said, "After the promotion match is over, the ranking match will be a fierce battle."
To outsiders, the whole game seemed like KID was lucky to beat two strong teams to advance, but in fact, from the points grabbed and KID's calmness in the face of the melee, it was obvious that their tactics and command were gradually maturing, not to mention that this was KID who had not revealed all his secrets.
KID has obtained so many S-level energy crystals, and the only weapons exposed now are those of Huo Yan and Lin Yao.
The weapons of their main output guns and mechas have not been exposed at all. Ji Qingfeng and Lu Xi are also uncertain factors. All we can say is that KID will be stronger in the next game, stronger than he is now.
Brother Zhang was still watching the game in the conference room, while the other mecha pilots of Jifeng had already gone to the training room.
The head coach said: "It seems that we have to find a way to target them during the ranking competition."
Brother Zhang looked at KID and said, "Sink is just a bug. Give Black Crow some more time, maybe we can change the situation."
"Neither Black Crow nor BZZL1 had used all their weapons reserves, but who could have known that KID would become the biggest dark horse in Group A." The head coach said, "Captain Qi probably has an idea. We can't let Sink and Trace have their way in the ranking competition. We have to eliminate one of these two mechas first."
The people from the Science and Technology Cemetery Cave Management Bureau looked at the devastated contaminated area and the collapsed ore caves all over the ground, and could only send a post-disaster relief team into the contaminated area to deal with the aftermath.
The game is over, and the jump points in each channel are provided for the mecha operators to leave. KID's tattered mecha walks in the front. Each mecha has a high level of wear and tear. Theirs is the most tattered mecha in the whole arena, but they have the highest score in the whole arena. At the end of the game, all mecha warriors jumped out of the contaminated area and arrived at the administration's jump zone.
When they got off the mecha, they passed by the mecha technicians from the management bureau's aftermath team and saw that those mecha technicians all had resentful looks on their faces.
But KID didn't pay attention to their gaze. When they came out, their storage warehouse was full, but there were still a lot of ores scattered on the ground and no one picked them up.
Lin Yao looked at the ore in the contaminated area with regret, "What a pity!"
Ji Qingfeng was still bragging to his teammates about the hard times he had gone through to find a way out when he got off the mecha. Upon hearing this, he said, "The Administration got it cheap. They must have taken all the ores."
Huo Yan's mecha was damaged and was sent to the maintenance area.
When KID and his companions arrived at the scene, Grandpa Gu had just rescued Huo Yan from the cockpit. The latter was in good spirits and was originally lying on a stretcher. When he saw his teammates coming, he waved to the alliance medical team and said that he was fine. He got off the stretcher on the spot and walked towards his teammates.
Medical team: “…”
Grandpa Gu said, "He is strong and healthy, so that little impact won't be a problem."
Medical team: "We also need to make a health report, and so do other mecha masters."
Lu Xi listened to her teammates talking, and tilted her head to look at the mecha technicians of BZZL1 approaching in the distance. Each mecha technician seemed to have an expression as if they wanted to fight. She unconsciously turned to the back of Huo Yan to avoid the fierce gazes of those people.
Huo Yan paid attention to Lu Xi's movements and turned sideways to see the captain of BZZL1 walking over.
The BZZL1 team was very frustrated, but there was nothing they could do. Losing was losing. He extended his hand to Huo Yan and said, "We won't lose again next season."
Huo Yan shook hands with him and said cheerfully, "Okay, let's fight again next season."
Captain BZZL1 glanced at Ying Chenlin next to him, who was standing obediently with his hands in his coat pockets and a tired look on his face. Ying Chenlin stood between You Su and Huo Yan. His short appearance did not seem threatening, but it was he who used the energy gun on the field to hold off KID's guns and guards.
Ying Chenlin seemed to notice the other party's gaze. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the captain of bzzl1 nodded at him and left quickly.
After everyone left, KID started discussing.
Lin Yao: "Chen Lin, he just nodded to you."
Ji Qingfeng: "From what I can judge, this nod is meant to remind you to be careful next season, because they will definitely be watching you and beating you up."
Ying Chenlin was slightly stunned: "Is that what you mean?"
While they were talking, a group of Black Crow mecha warriors also passed by the maintenance area. When they passed in front of KID, a gentle-looking man in the Black Crow crowd looked in the direction of You Su and Ying Chenlin. He nodded gently and left soon.
Luxi said: "Black Crow also nodded to us."
Ji Qingfeng: "It's over. Captain Wen nodded. They are going to beat us in the ranking competition."
Huo Yan laughed and said, "Don't think of them as being so bad."
"How can it not be broken?" Ji Qingfeng: "Old Huo, Captain Bzzl1 shook your hand with such force just now that I saw his veins popping out!"
Huo Yan said: "Really? I think it's okay, just a normal handshake."
Ji Qingfeng was deeply worried about his team's sense of crisis. He suddenly thought of something and looked at You Su: "Brother, did you and Team Wen decide who was better? Who was the first to shoot?"
Lin Yao: "That must be Brother You!"
Ying Chenlin also nodded, and expressed his great approval of You Su's gun skills.
You Su: “…”
After the game, there will be a scheduled post-match interview, and KID followed the official staff to the interview room. Ying Chenlin fell behind the team, his face full of fatigue. After fighting with the giant bear, he took a long rest while mining, but he had hardly rested in the subsequent battles. Now he was exhausted and a little sleepy.
After You Su finished talking to Huo Yan, he caught a glimpse of a boy walking next to him with his head down. When he was about to hit the corner wall, he reached out and grabbed his collar, and led him towards him, "You hit the wall."
Ying Chenlin responded sullenly with an "oh", lowering his head and burying his whole face in his collar.
You Su noticed that something was wrong with him, "Are you sleepy?"
"A little bit." Ying Chenlin said.
Seeing this, the teammates who were talking nearby helped cover for Ying Chenlin in the following interview. Huo Yan took over the team's topics and answered them all. Ying Chenlin had time to slack off on the side and only spoke a few words when the host called on him to do so. ~
The live broadcast room was full of crazy complaints on the barrage, and the first thing to complain about was the game that ended quickly. Then many technical players began to analyze the advantages brought by KID's accumulated points in this game. The initial encirclement of the giant bear was really beautiful, from the sink drawing the map with the energy gun to KID's team defeating the giant bear one by one. No matter how you look back, the details of that encirclement make people more and more surprised.
In the last melee between three teams, KID even fended off the attacks of two teams for nearly half an hour, and finally switched his fire to the BZZL1 tank. Every step was very ingenious. No one would believe that there was no command involved.
[From the whole game, controlling points and stealing points is definitely a command style. 】
[In the giant bear wave, sink was definitely the one who was most familiar with the map. 】
[Sink, it must be a sink!] 】
[……?] ? ? No way, he is the one who is leading the team alone. KID will let sink be the commander! ? 】
[It's impossible for other teams, but it's hard to say about KID. I always feel like they can do anything. 】
KID can really do everything. He is good at attack and medical treatment. It seems that it is not uncommon for him to be a commander alone.
But when netizens thought about a single soldier being a commander, the only thing they could think of was "WTF?". They all know that Sink has outstanding personal abilities and a good brain, but that is different from being a commander. Is there really anyone who can quickly adapt to the switch to the mecha project in just two years and take on such an important command position?
The possibility that KID's command was the sink became more and more uncontrollable in the live broadcast room. Some fans even dug up details from the previous games. All possibilities are possible for sink, not to mention that he performed so well in this game. From drawing maps to supporting teammates, he was like KID's eyes in the maze.
The audience looked at sink, and the sleepy boy was sitting next to trace at this time, with his eyes half closed, which he would only raise when the host asked him a question, as if he had no interest in the things around him.
【Sink seems sleepy.】 】
[You'll be tired after a high-intensity battle. Look, Lucy didn't say much. 】
[In the last battle, they all fought at a high-intensity level. 】
The host also asked questions that netizens were curious about. KID had no obligation to reveal who the commander was. Exposing the commander would be targeted by other teams. Huo Yan dealt with it in a few moves.
[It must be a sink!] Otherwise, Captain Huo wouldn’t even make one up. 】
[I'm so anxious, does sink know how to command? 】
As soon as the interview was over, KID couldn't wait to walk out one after another.
KID submitted all the mecha wear and tear reports to Grandpa Gu. Huo Yan's mecha was 80% worn out, while the other mechas had a minimum of 40% wear and tear and a maximum of 60% wear and tear. Almost every mecha, from the core to the weapons, had different levels of damage. After returning to the base for repairs, the time and money required would be greatly increased.
When Ying Chenlin came out of the interview room, he saw the wear and tear report that Grandpa Gu sent in the group. After the report came out, he couldn't walk. His tired brain was working fast, thinking about how to repair it in a way that would save money and effort. Until Jianheng Company's spacecraft was parked outside the contaminated area of the scientific cemetery cave, Ying Chenlin was still reading the report with his head down.
"Oh my god, a spaceship!" Ji Qingfeng became excited, "We don't have to squeeze into a flight this time!"
"We were going to have to squeeze in." Shen Xingtang had already grabbed the discounted return spaceship tickets, but then Jianheng's boss Zhou called and said he had prepared a return spaceship for them. "There is Jianheng's test base over here in the science tomb cave. Their company has a spaceship station here, and they said they can take us back directly."
Once on the ship, KID's mecha masters all crowded into a room to conduct KID's routine traditional settlement of accounts.
This time, a lot of minerals were brought out from the Science Cemetery Cave. The Qingjia Beast from Ji Qingfeng's son was confiscated and given to KID as repair materials. The energy crystals were returned to Ying Chenlin as materials for the next weapon design. The remaining minerals were from the five storage compartments. Originally, only three compartments were filled.
When the game was over, KID didn't give up and stored some more, which barely filled five warehouses.
Lin Yao asked anxiously: "So did we make a profit or a loss?"
KID's Chief Financial Officer Jiang Simiao calculated the money: "Brown ore is considered a rare ore on the market. The price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the quality of the ore. And I don't know if this kind of goods is easy to sell. I have to go back and put it up on the online store to see how the market is."
Ji Qingfeng: "It seems that we didn't check the quality when we were digging."
Lin Yao: "Then won't we be at a loss?"
"How can you not lose money in a competition?" Shen Xingtang looked at the two money-grubbers and helped Jiang Simiao count the money. He said, "It's normal for mechas to wear out during a competition. If you lose money, you lose money. The base can still support you through the ranking competition if it grits its teeth."
Lin Yao only heard the key point: "It's still a loss."
Shen Xingtang: “…”
Never mind, she didn't want to talk.
KID's mecha technicians continued to count the money unwillingly, but halfway through the counting, they were so sleepy that their eyelids were already fighting.
Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao fell asleep in a trance, Lu Xi slept by the window wrapped in a blanket, and Huo Yan yawned and lay down somewhere. No one went back to their room, as if they were waiting to wake up and hear the result of the calculation.
The cabin in the spaceship was not spacious and was crowded with a lot of people. Even the beds in the room were requisitioned as chairs.
Ying Chenlin was sleeping against the wall wrapped in a blanket, holding a laptop in his hand, but his head was already falling down little by little.
You Su, who was sitting next to him, reached out and took the computer from his hand. The page filled with dense mecha data had gone dark. As a result, Ying Chenlin not only did not wake up, but You Su even drained away all his brain power and caused him to fall towards him.
You Su held the laptop in one hand and quickly supported himself with the other.
Ying Chenlin seemed to be extremely tired. He opened his eyes slightly to check the surroundings. As if to make sure that the environment was safe, he drooped his eyelids and fell asleep without moving much.
You Su frowned: "Ying Chenlin?"
"It's a high consumption of mental energy. Eric told me that his physical condition getting better doesn't mean his mental level is stable."
Shen Xingtang lowered his voice and said, "The last fight was beautiful, but maintaining high-precision shooting in such an environment will also consume a lot of mental energy. Didn't you see the people next to you? They all fell down."
Gu Xiaotian walked carefully in the crowd, pulling two blankets to cover Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao who were lying casually on the ground in the corridor, "Don't worry about them? How about sending them to their room to rest?"
Grandpa Gu said, "Let them sleep. They will be fine after a good sleep. Keep your voice down so as not to wake them up."
He raised his reading glasses and said, "It's not easy."
Jiang Simiao glanced at You Su beside him. Five mecha masters had fallen, but You Su didn't look tired at all. Is this man's physique so good?
"What's wrong?" You Su asked.
Jiang Simiao asked, "Aren't you sleepy?"
You Su: “Not bad.”
Jiang Simiao: “…” Scary.
Theo was hanging on Yousu's neck. When he heard Jiang Simiao's question, he boasted proudly, "The longest time we can stay in the contaminated area without rest is two months! Right? Yousu."
You Su ignored Theo.
He placed Ying Chenlin's laptop beside him, and used his other hand to support the sleeping Ying Chenlin. The two of them were sitting on the inner part of the bed, with most of the bed covered with a data tablet. Jiang Simiao and Shen Xingtang were sitting on the outer side, blocking the space. He just slowed down to lay Ying Chenlin flat, but when he laid him flat, he found that there was not enough space on the bed for Ying Chenlin to lie flat.
You Su's eyes fell on two people lying on the aisle outside the bed, and there was also Huo Yan outside him, unable to get out.
Jiang Simiao was about to hand over the pillow, but when he saw this, he took it back and said, "It seems that the pillow can't be stuffed in. Why don't you use your thigh as a pillow for him?"
You Su: “…”
You Su's hand was on Ying Chenlin's neck, and his fingertips touched the other's warm skin. Only then did he realize that Ying Chenlin was not only small in stature, but also had a small face. Seeing Ying Chenlin trying to turn over, You Su had no choice but to put his hands down and let someone rest his head on his crossed thighs.
Ying Chenlin turned over as soon as he fell asleep, lying face inward with his forehead resting on You Su's waist and abdomen.
Both of them had changed into casual clothes. You Su was only wearing a single layer of clothes. He could clearly feel the other person's warm breath on his waist and abdomen, and his back stiffened slightly.
The others were still immersed in settling accounts, and You Su didn't move at all.
Gu Xiaotian was just about to ask You Su if his legs didn’t feel numb when he sat cross-legged?
But seeing that there was no room for anyone, the other person's long legs seemed to have nowhere to go.
Ying Chenlin slept for a whole night. When he woke up, the scent of someone's clothes lingered on his nose. He raised his eyes slightly and saw You Su leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and resting. Only then did he notice that he had slept on the other's lap all night.
He sat up slightly and the latter opened his eyes.
You Su's voice was a little hoarse when he woke up in the morning: "Are you awake?"
Ying Chenlin's face was covered in red marks. He nodded, "I'm awake."
Seeing that everyone had woken up, You Su stood up with the help of the wall, "I'm going to wash my face, you wake them up, the spaceship is about to arrive."
Ying Chenlin nodded in confusion and noticed that You Su's right leg was not very natural, but soon he disappeared from his sight. Only then did he realize that all the KID people were crowded here and fell asleep. There were people crowded around the table, the aisle, the bed...
Boss Zhou opened so many rooms for them to rest, it seemed like a waste... He paused for a moment, looked at the time, and hurriedly shook the person next to him: "Brother Huo, get up quickly, we are about to arrive at the station!"
There's no point in arriving at the destination yet. The spacecraft has already entered the orbit of Sirius.
This shout startled everyone in the room and they all got up quickly to pack their things.
The spacecraft has entered the orbit of Sirius and is about to enter the Sirius area.
"Did we make a profit or a loss?" Lin Yao was struggling with this question even in his dreams.
Jiang Simiao: "Don't ask, you'll lose money if you ask!"
When they arrived at the station, Ying Chenlin's mind was still not clear. He followed the crowd out, pulling the suitcase with one hand and looking through the laptop with the other. He first replied to Xun Bao's message of congratulations, and when he looked down, he suddenly saw a message from Qiu Lao, a soldier in the border army.
Ying Chenlin suddenly asked, "Mr. Qiu said that the border troops are coming and said that Lieutenant Colonel Lu is waiting for us at the airport?"
You Su frowned when he heard this: "What is he doing here?"
KID won first place in the 16-8A group, which means that KID has entered the quarterfinals and returned to its previous league ranking.
Not only that, this result was achieved after defeating Black Crow and BZZL1 successively and taking first place in the group with an advantage of 8 points.
When the news got back to Sirius, local media rushed out to inquire about KID's flight information. The media's precise deployment had already landed at every airport where KID was, just to stop KID at the airport as soon as possible and take a promotional photo of the top eight team returning home.
"Remember to grab the first-hand report later. Do you know how many media outlets are waiting for the Sirius news?"
"Editor-in-chief, we've never competed to take photos of KID like this before!"
"The past was the past, and the present is the present. Can KID compare?"
"Once you take the photos, just upload them according to the script we wrote, okay?"
The spaceship that KID was on arrived at the station. When a group of people just walked out of the exit, they were greeted by the flash lights of the media.
Various mobile cameras were flying around, recording KID's glorious image.
Jiang Simiao was photographed with dark circles under his eyes, and he was stunned and said, "What is this?! Why are there so many people taking pictures?"
Shen Xingtang was also stunned: "I didn't receive any message. Wait, let me ask."
Ji Qingfeng couldn't hold back his idol image anymore, and hurriedly covered his face: "I didn't shave."
The media rushed forward and saw KID and his group of mecha masters walking out with messy hair, huddled together as they walked. Ji Qingfeng and Huo Yan even had stubble on their heads and looked unkempt, not like they were returning home in glory. Instead, they looked like they had returned from a disaster outside.
In the distance, Lieutenant Colonel Lu, who had been waiting at the airport for two hours, looked at the chaotic situation with a stern face and directed the soldiers, "Help clear a path so that they can get out smoothly."
At this moment, suddenly, a dozen border soldiers in military uniforms walked past the media at the inner part of the airport, walked up to KID with serious faces, and helped KID block the surrounding media in a few moves.
The media who were eager to grab the headlines were all shocked, and the editors-in-chief of major media who were rushing to edit the copy after taking the photos were stunned. `This` work` is produced by`
KIDWhat is this...? Something wrong? ? ?
The media editor next to him who was on the mission for the first time said excitedly: "Wow, editor-in-chief, it's the headline!"
"The returning mecha team was intercepted by soldiers and was arrested for suspected crimes!"
The author has something to say:
In the last chapter, a little cutie helped me find a bug. I made a mistake in writing the rules in Chapter 155, but I have already fixed it.
Thanks to the little cutie for helping me find the bug. I wouldn’t have noticed it if you hadn’t reminded me orz, my mind was confused.
There will be extra updates in the evening~ I will continue working on it after dinner.
To celebrate KID's advancement to the top 8, 100 red envelopes will be dropped in this chapter~
