Chapter 339
Chapter 339
When the news of the forest area being unlocked popped up, the commentators and the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but look at the message. At the same time as the message, the red blockade circle around the forest arena changed. The red blockade circle that originally prohibited other teams from entering turned blue.
The mixed arena competition system did not specify the duration and blockade time from the beginning. The audience originally assumed that the arena area was calculated by time, that is, it would be released at a certain time point, but they did not expect that this harsh condition was actually [the accumulated number of eliminated mechas].
"The forest arena is unlocked!" the commentator shouted, "The arena is unlocked and can be opened!"
The Forest Arena is the first of the four arenas to be unlocked!
[3 mechas!] ? That is to say, if three mechas are not eliminated, the fight in this blockade arena will end in a fight to the death. 】
[This competition system is awesome, the competition committee is definitely forcing a fight! 】
[This is more than just a forced battle. Without a repair point, the game will end when the mechas are exhausted! 】
After the blue boundary line appeared, new messages popped up in the forest arena and the public area:
[Dear mecha masters, the number of mechas in the forest arena (13/16) will not affect the mecha battles inside the arena during the blockade and reopening period. The arena will be maintained for 60 minutes. If the forest cannot be filled again during this period, the forest arena will be cancelled. ]
This public area is information that all arena groups can see. The KIDs who had just run out of the battle range hesitated for a while when they saw this news. Ying Chenlin and Huo Yan didn't care about anything else and decisively adjusted the direction of the mecha, asking Lin Yao to use the gravity gun to lead everyone to the edge of the forest arena! Θ
"Oh my god, what does this competition system mean? The arena can be filled with unlimited people!?" Ji Qingfeng said.
"This is the situation right now. We have to get out quickly." Huo Yan realized the seriousness of the situation. Their current wear and tear was a bit dangerous. They had to get out of the ring first. Otherwise, if any team came and attacked them, the wear and tear they had accumulated since entering the ring would continue to be calculated. "Get out first! Leaving the ring is the safest place to repair."
Ying Chenlin probably fully understood the arena rules of this competition. In a total of 6 days, a part of the Nason Bello contaminated area will be randomly designated as an arena, and the number of mechas in the arena will be determined according to the number of mechas remaining on site. Once the arena is full, it will enter a blocked combat state until 3 mechas or a fixed number of mechas are eliminated, and the arena will be unlocked.
After that, either a new mecha team will enter the field within 60 minutes to re-seal the forest area, or if the area is not full when the 60 minutes are up, a new arena will be generated based on the number of remaining mechas on the field.
KID ran out without hesitation. Before other teams could squeeze in, the blocked area was freely released, indicating that the arena had become a free arena. The arena still existed, but the battle could continue. When KID was running out, GBK was evacuating from the aftermath of the explosion. The only remaining Rabbit medical team was naturally no match for them, but the most hateful thing was that KID snatched 2 points right under their noses and ran away.
The members of the GBK team looked at the score of 9:3:0 shown on the scoreboard. These were the scores of the three teams in their forest area. KID's conspicuous red score made their mecha divisions furious for no reason. It was like this again. They were the ones who kept losing points from the beginning to the end of this melee.
"Captain, it's my mistake." Bai Xuyan said.
"It's not just your problem." Claude looked at the direction where KID left and said, "Let's go. We can't stay here."
The audience outside the venue was shocked by the new rules that emerged in the Forest Arena. After a while, they suddenly noticed that after GBK took the points from Rabbit Medical, they also evacuated in another direction, with no intention of staying in the Forest Arena at all.
"Both teams chose to evacuate!" said the commentator.
[Oh my god, they don’t even leave an arena!] 】
[It's not safe in the arena. You may be ambushed by other mechas at any time. 】
[The relatively safe environment is only outside the ring, right? They all need to repair the mecha. 】
[The other arenas haven’t ended yet, so they should be safe inside. 】
KID knew the location of the edge of the forest arena, and with the acceleration of Yao's gravity gun, the six mechas had flown to the edge of the battlefield in less than 30 minutes. As soon as they rushed out, Ying Chenlin looked at the accumulated wear and tear displayed by their combat system, and saw that as soon as they left the forest area, the accumulated wear and tear percentage on the mechas returned to zero.
This change was also noticed by the audience outside the venue, who explained: "The combat effectiveness within the arena area is not included in the combat range outside the arena area. It is also included in the combat range after being blocked and then opened. However, once the mecha leaves the combat area, the accumulated consumption of the mecha will be reset to zero and accumulated again."
[Oh, I understand. Entering and exiting the arena will refresh the accumulated consumption! 】
[But this also requires that the arena is not blocked. If it is blocked, they will not be able to enter and exit freely. 】
[Don’t worry about this, just look at KID’s total score! They scored 9 points in the forest arena, and their score surpassed the previous one in one go! 】
The Forest Arena was the first arena to be unblocked. As soon as the Mecha Team left the Forest Arena, all the total points they had obtained were included in the total score list. KID, who scored 9 points in a row, became the new top of the list in the second stage!
The audience of the First Star Domain were originally immersed in the game, but they just realized now that they would never have dared to think about such a result in the past. They did not expect KID to actually do it. This is the first time in the past few years that a team from the First Star Domain has been able to surpass a strong team!
【Fuck, KI
D is awesome! 】
[I have taken a screenshot. I can brag about this for a long time! ! ! 】
The discussion outside the stadium gradually heated up, and the emotions of the mecha masters watching the game in the Nathan Bello rest area were also aroused. It would be a lie to say that they were not excited. As the mecha points became less and less in the later stages, the more points accumulated in the early stages, the more advantageous it was. A score of 9 points was unimaginably high, and it was achieved when competing with the strong team GBK.
"What's the situation with SHIELD?" asked Head Coach Swift.
"The situation is not good. They are facing PJT. Although all three teams have 5 mechas, it will be very difficult for SHIELD to score points against PJT." Another coach of Jifeng was also paying attention to PJT's playing style. "The current situation is uncertain."
On the volcano arena are PJT, SHIELD and Tiger.
The strength of SHIELD and Tiger is similar, but in terms of pressure resistance, SHIELD's ability to withstand pressure is much stronger than Tiger, which is good at attacking. It can barely stabilize the situation under the attack of five mechas of the strong team PJT. It is just stabilization. In the case of a three-team melee, the two teams of SHIELD and Tiger obviously tend to cooperate to deal with PJT, but even so, they did not get any benefits from PJT.
EM and PJT are the two teams with the most stable performance in the history of the Star Alliance.
The strength of the two teams is not much different. In the previous sessions, the first and second places even rotated between these two teams. There was a certain gap between the other three teams in the top five and them.
"We still can't be happy too soon." Head coach Jifeng looked at PJT's volcano arena and EM's mountain arena, feeling more and more depressed. If KID wants to move to a higher position, he must overcome these two mountains at the end of the game. As he was thinking, he happened to see Qi Sicheng watching the battle replay in KID's live broadcast room, "Sicheng?"
Brother Zhang was originally discussing KID's points with Zhao Lejie. When he saw Ji Feng and the Black Crow coach gathered together and looked at the computer in Qi Sicheng's hand, he also walked over to see what was going on: "What's wrong? Are you reviewing the game data?"
The replay showed the scene in the final stage when KID bombed Rabbit to grab points. The explosion happened too quickly and the live broadcast camera of the tournament committee could only capture a limited amount of footage. Qi Sicheng used short footage pieced together from the perspectives of the three teams.
At the last critical moment, GBK's gun had actually noticed KID's intention in advance. His ice sniper cannon had locked onto KID and fired out, but the shell did not block KID's gun's rapid-attack cannon midway, but was intercepted midway for unknown reasons. Someone predicted Bai Xuyan's actions and intercepted his artillery shells in advance.
100% sniper cannon, it is difficult to intercept it with ordinary weapons.
The people in the Gale Data Department quickly analyzed the footage of the final battle. The footage that could be captured was as short as 3 seconds. In the 3 seconds of thick smoke, no one could see what weapon Sink was holding in his hand. All they could see was a flash of fire.
"Fire-attribute weapon, Karma Cannon?" Wen Yi hesitated.
Qi Sicheng shook his head: "The range of the Karma Cannon is wider, it shouldn't be like this. Sink also has a hidden weapon, it is very likely an assault cannon weapon."
For some reason, this weapon only appeared for less than three seconds, and they were not even able to restore the original appearance of the weapon from the data at the scene, but there was just an indescribable strange feeling.
"Jiang Simiao!" Brother Zhang couldn't help but ask, "What is Sink's second weapon?"
Jiang Simiao looked sideways when he heard this: "Is there anyone who would inquire about the weapons situation like you?"
Brother Zhang: "You'll have to take it out sooner or later anyway, so don't keep us in suspense."
"The trump card that our KID has hidden has been prepared by Shen Lin since the beginning of the year."
Jiang Simiao pretended to be profound and said: "That is a dual-attribute weapon of fire and thunder."
Brother Zhang was still planning to dig out more information from Jiang Simiao. Qi Sicheng and Wen Yi's eyes had already fallen on the field, looking at KID and the others.
Wen Yi: "Let's not talk about weapons for now. I'm afraid the matter of the ring is not over yet."
Qi Sicheng: “Yes.”
It was only said on the field for 60 minutes, but no explanation was given on the subsequent ring situation.
It is impossible for the mecha teams from the other three arenas to enter the forest arena at this stage. 60 minutes is too short, and the probability of recovery in this arena is almost 100%.
In the arena, as soon as KID left the forest arena area, he took the opportunity to sneak into the forest near the forest arena. After landing, he found a safe place to carry out on-site repairs. There is no maintenance point, so it can only rely on medical mecha for repairs. The overall wear and tear of KID mecha is not high, and there is enough time for repairs after leaving the arena area.
"It seems that the competition in other areas has not ended yet." Lin Yao said after coming out and seeing the situation.
Ji Qingfeng: "Not every region will have a team as miserable as Rabbit."
"How long will it take us to repair the damage here?" Huo Yan asked.
Ying Chenlin had checked the wear and tear of his teammates on the road. Preliminary repairs could save more time, but he still wanted to make detailed repairs. The less damage a mecha has, the easier it is to repair. Now that we have more spare time, the larger the repair space we can reserve for the mecha, the better. "It takes 3 to 7 hours. I don't do quick repairs. We try to lay a good foundation for the mecha so that subsequent repairs are simple."
"The arena is closed." You Su said suddenly.
Ying Chenlin heard You Su's voice, looked up into the distance, and saw that the blue halo representing the forest arena not far away disappeared. When the blue light disappeared, information related to the forest arena in the venue also popped up.
The time has not reached 60 minutes yet, but because both teams in the field chose to evacuate, the forest arena was automatically closed. There are only three arenas left on the field, and the battle is still going on.
"If everyone evacuates, will the arena be closed if no one is there?" Lin Yao asked.
Lu Xi: "It looks like this. The name of the Rabbit team on the score sheet has been grayed out. All members have been eliminated."
"This competition system is so fucking exciting." Ji Qingfeng: "If we hadn't come out just now, would someone really take this opportunity to come into the ring and mess with us?"
Huo Yan said: "They might attack us, but they will surely investigate us."
The overall cruelty of the competition system in the second stage was higher than they had imagined. Only one day had passed and four mechas had been eliminated from their forest arena. The progress of consumption in this melee was much faster than that in the first stage. If they became the target of a gang fight like Rabbit, they would not last more than a day and would be forced to reduce their number.
KID and the others stayed aside to rest and wait for maintenance.
The environment outside the ring is relatively relaxed, and there is no need to worry about being ambushed. KID and his group of mecha warriors also had some rest time. The battle with GBK for points was exciting, but in the final analysis, every step was calculated precisely and the tactics were pushed to the limit. If You Su hadn't broken the ice curtain controlled by GBK at the critical moment, and if that ice curtain had been an obstacle in the later stage, they might not have been able to snatch so many points from GBK.
Ying Chenlin was repairing mechas for others while thinking. He first repaired the mecha with the highest wear and tear rate in the team. Three hours had passed since the complete repair. The wear and tear rate of Lu Xi dropped directly to 0%, that of Lin Yao and Ji Qingfeng dropped to 4%, and that of Huo Yan to 3%.
KID and the others took a nap nearby. The forest arena was closed, but fighting was still going on in other arenas. They had just repaired their damaged mechas, and hadn't found a suitable position to insert them, so they could only wait for news about the next round of arenas.
You Su was originally resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard the movement around him, he turned his head slightly and noticed that his right hand was lifted up by the other party. He did not disconnect the mental connection, and felt the other party's mental power coming in through the medical repair port, from the fingers along the back of the hand all the way up.
Ying Chenlin likes to start with his hands every time when doing repairs.
You Su lowered his eyes and looked at his arms connected to the spiritual tentacles. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were placed on his hands, climbing up little by little.
In the quiet cockpit, another abrupt sound continued to ring out.
——"Weapon wear is 18%, and arm wear is 20%..."
You Su was looking at his arm absent-mindedly when he was suddenly reminded by Theo's voice in his mind, "What are you doing?"
"Report it!" Theo said, "Yuan is asking me about the consumption. I have to tell it."
You Su suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait."
Theo: "Yuan, we have used up half of our energy tube! The total consumption is 47%, and we have used up half of the energy tube!"
You Su: “…”
Yuan converted all the data collected from Theona into data messages and presented them on the medical system. Ying Chenlin could see some data information on the data related to other mechas, but when this page of new data was refreshed in front of him, his expression paused.
"Mistake." You Su's voice suddenly appeared in their private chat channel, "We had to make an emergency decision this time."
Ying Chenlin responded, staring at the half-empty energy tube in a daze: "When we were evacuating, you fired one more shot. Was that also an emergency measure?"
You Su: "When?"
Ying Chenlin: "When you bombard GBK control."
You Su: “…”〓
Ying Chenlin was used to the low energy output of the Gunnery Mecha. He hadn't seen such consumption for a long time since the last time they consumed it wantonly before the end of the Star Domain Competition. When so much energy was consumed at the beginning of the stage, he thought he had returned to the time when he was a maintenance engineer accompanying You Su to fight. At that time, You Su's consumption was the same as it is now.
You Su: "It's easy."
Ying Chenlin: “Oh.”
You Suduo explained: "I just bombed it when I saw it was possible, without thinking too much."
Ying Chenlin: "Well, the energy consumption exceeded 13%."
You Su listened to the boy's brief reply, and his eyes involuntarily stopped on his hand. The empathy connected by the arm did not stop, and the other party's little by little probing on his arm was particularly clear. He suddenly felt dissatisfied with such a simple reply and didn't know how to explain the problem of energy consumption.
Before he could come up with a suitable explanation, the boy spoke again.
"It's 5% more than I expected." Ying Chenlin said, "But it doesn't matter. I saved it."
You Su paused: "Saved?"
"There's enough energy." Ying Chenlin corrected the worn-out nerves in his arm and said casually, "You can use it next time you want. Raise your arm a little higher so I can see the wear and tear on your shoulder."
You Su raised his hand.
The repair process was long and quiet. Ying Chenlin spoke very quietly while working. Apart from necessary inquiries, the rest was Theo's occasional nagging, as if he was communicating with Mecha Yuan. You Su ignored its overly noisy voice and kept his attention on Ying Chenlin's mental strength.
The long repair process seemed to be shortened.
In order to ensure the energy surplus, all the energy except the necessary energy of KID Mecha will be given to Ying Chenlin for safekeeping.
Ying Chenlin was aware of the overall energy consumption. He brought an energy gun, which would allow his team to be more relaxed in energy usage compared to other weapons, and the situation of energy depletion in the second half of the Star Domain Tournament would not occur again.
Ying Chenlin looked at the internal data of You Su's mecha. There was a large empty section on the energy pipe interface. After checking the consumption, he cut out the energy gun and filled the back of You Su's mecha with energy. After he made sure that the damage of the gun mecha was reduced to 2%, he withdrew the maintenance port of the medical mecha. But when he was about to pull his hand away, the mecha that had been motionless for an hour suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Hold it for a while?" You Su suddenly asked.
Ying Chenlin paused, adjusted his mecha, squatted beside You Su, and said nothing.
Neither of them spoke. Ying Chenlin squatted for a while and then moved his hands.
The mecha's hand bones were rubbed, and a feeling different from the rubbing of finger bones in reality was transmitted from the point of contact between the two people.
Ying Chenlin: "I want to rest."
You Su: "I'll help you watch."
Ying Chenlin: "Then can we still hold hands?"
You Su: “…Yes.”
Repairing mechas is a physical and mental job. Ying Chenlin really needs a short rest. After he finished talking to You Su, he did not let go of each other's hand. The two of them stayed behind their teammates. You Su heard
Fang's breathing became steady, and he closed his eyes to rest, but his heart was beating wildly. When Theo came to ask questions, his voice was blocked and everything returned to silence.
On the other side, Lu Xi, who was helping with surveillance after a break, turned around and saw the situation in the corner.
She was stunned for a moment, and after looking away, she couldn't help but look back again.
Outside the arena, most of the audience's attention was originally on the fierce fighting on the other side. Everyone came to KID's side and found that they were still resting and repairing the mecha. The other arenas in the arena were not open, and the first teams to be idle were only KID and GBK. The audience of Shuguang had no interest in other perspectives and just squatted here to watch KID's several mechas.
What are sink and trace doing? Hands behind? 】
[They didn't move, and the live camera froze. 】
Repair the mecha? 】
【Why repair the trace if it loses 3%? ? 】
What kind of posture is this? Could it be possible that touching it this way could increase the success rate of medical repair? 】
[This new medical mecha technician has been studying it. I really want to ask him about his maintenance techniques. The wear and tear is really low. 】
[It may be related to mental power. I know that the mental power for mecha repair must be guided into the opponent's mecha by the medical system. 】
[…Why do I see them holding hands together? 】
[Oh shit, you know what, this posture really does look a bit like holding hands. 】
"Old Wu, look at this." Zhao Lejie looked at the live broadcast room and said to the medical mecha technician next to him: "Will their posture increase the success rate of repairs?"
The Swift Medical Mech was so engrossed in watching that it stared at the suspected hand-holding action in the blurry distant camera. "I've never heard that holding hands can increase the success rate of repairs, but their posture is too close, and the possibility of their mental powers intersecting is high. Could it be a mental power problem?"
Zhao Lejie immediately took the hand of Swift Medical and said, "Like this?"
Swift Medical: "... Deputy Captain, you are holding your fingers together. Wait a minute, I will ask the people in our maintenance department."
Chi Liz watched the strange actions of Zhao Lejie and Jifeng Medical from the side, opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say. Finally, he put a mouthful of potato chips and turned his head to continue reading the comment section of the live broadcast room.
Before a group of newly promoted "medical maintenance technicians" in the live broadcast room could figure out what was going on, just as they were watching intently, two ring reminders suddenly popped up in the arena at the same time. This arena reminder suddenly startled the KID mechas that were resting, and several mechas suddenly started moving.
The news of the refresh of the overall ranking alerted everyone. Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao did not even bother to sleep and immediately went to check the results of other teams. As a result, when everything was over, they saw that the top and second places on the list had been replaced. KID originally topped the list with a 9-point advantage, but during the 14 hours of their rest, the score was refreshed again.
Only when the team leaves the arena can the arena overall leaderboard be updated.
Huo Yan was stunned when he saw the results: "EM got 10 points, PJT got 9 points."
"Very strong." Ying Chenlin looked at the results of other teams on the list. In addition to Rabbit, there were other teams that were grayed out on the overall list.
In these two released arenas, some teams were also eliminated.
"The Alpine Arena and the Volcano Arena have been unblocked!" The commentator in the live broadcast room immediately got to the point, "The overall leaderboard has been refreshed, and a new arena has appeared in the arena! The Canyon!"
The new arena was refreshed in the canyon, which was very far away for KID.
"EM and PJT are teams from two different arena areas." Ying Chenlin realized the seriousness of the situation. His eyes immediately wandered around the three open arena areas on the field, the mountains, the volcano, and the newly opened canyon, and finally stopped at the scoreboard, "We are passive."
The author has something to say:
I’m having a writer’s block. I can’t write any more chapters tonight.
100 red envelopes will be randomly dropped in the comment area! Save the sad Africans!
