Chapter 68 Hidden Attributes
Three days later.
The competition entered the finals.
Wen Le and his four classmates followed their senior all the way to the semi-finals, and now they have entered the finals where the teams are ranked from top to bottom.
Wen Le and the other three are now more nervous than the senior students, as if they are the ones who have entered the finals instead of the senior students.
This time, the senior's opponent was the student council president of her second brother's school, a formidable figure. Wen Le and the others had previously gone to watch this senior's matches to get to know him better, and his fighting prowess was practically on par with the senior's. If the two were to fight, it was hard to say who would win.
The four friends were so desperate to help their senior win this match that they finally resorted to their ultimate weapon: pepper spray! It was the same one they'd used in the team competition, and just in case, Wen Le had even made a concentrated version. Just a few sprays of it into the air, and even from three meters away, if it made contact with their skin, even the strongest of bears would be crushed to the ground.
Before the competition began, Wen Le deliberately stuffed the prepared spray into the senior's hand and repeatedly warned her, "Senior, you must use it during this competition. Don't be stingy. Competition comes first, friendship comes second! Don't be stingy with the reward. It's ten original points!"
The senior student looked down upon Wen Le and his friends' methods: "They only use some low-class stuff. No!"
To win, you have to rely on your own strength to win the game. It’s meaningless to win the game by relying on these little tricks.
Seeing that the senior sister refused to agree, Xu Dongdong used her trump card. While grabbing the corner of the senior sister's clothes, she cried and wailed: "Senior sister, getting first place is the dream of the four of us. We have no hope in this life, so senior sister, you must get first place for us! Otherwise, I will never be able to rest in peace! Senior sister!"
The corner of the senior sister's mouth twitched: "..."
I feel like I'd be a sinner if I didn't agree.
Wen Le added fuel to the fire: "And, Senior Sister, if you want a good fight with him, you can arrange it privately. I believe no man can refuse a beauty like you. And think about it, he must be angry because he lost so unfairly this time. If you challenge him to a fight, he will definitely agree to it!"
The senior student glanced at him and said, "There's one thing I have to correct you about. The girl opposite likes men." So no matter how beautiful she is, it's useless. Using her beauty to start a fight is like flirting with a blind man. It's useless.
Wen Le: “…”
This... this is very embarrassing...
Xu Dongdong was so choked up by what he said that he couldn't cry anymore. He rolled his eyes and said, "Then let's pool our money and order him a celebrity-style partner on Star Online! He can choose any height, weight, or body type. Even if he wants a sixteen-pack abs, we can customize it for him. I don't believe he won't take it!"
The people watching the live broadcast: "..."
What the hell are sixteen-pack abs?
Also, boy, you are exposed~
Some people even lament that children nowadays are so precocious that they even know about things like partners. It's incredible.
However, netizens soon raised the question: Am I the only one who noticed that celebrity style that the fat boy mentioned? Oh, it sounds very tempting. I want it~
So a group of netizens who had just woken up from their dream echoed:
Want +1
Want +2
…
Want + contact number
The entire comment section is starting to go off track.
Lily's eyes twitched as she listened, and she couldn't help but slap Wen Le and Xu Dongdong, sending them shoving them aside. She took a deep breath, realizing the old saying was true: "A red flower becomes redder if it's kept company with a red flower, and a black flower becomes blacker if it's kept company with a black flower." Wen Le's once sheepish nature had caught on after spending so much time with Xu Dongdong, and now he was becoming increasingly unreliable.
Li Zhenzhen felt that they didn't understand each other before because they were not familiar with each other. Now that they are familiar with each other, the hidden attributes of Wen Le are exposed. However, she still likes him as always.
Wen Le and Xu Dongdong didn't care about these things. They were pushed aside and came over again shamelessly. One of them grabbed the corner of the senior sister's clothes and looked at her pitifully. The two of them bombarded the senior sister with words.
One said: "Senior~"
Another said: "Promise us~"
One said: "Senior~"
Another said: "Kiss~ I give you all my hearts~"
Say together: "I love you~MUA~"
The senior student was so irritated by the two that goosebumps fell all over her body, but she still insisted on her principle: "No!"
So Wen Le and Xu Dongdong started to cry around the senior sister, and threatened that if she didn't agree, they would run to the door of his dormitory and cry, crying every day and every night, just like Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall in the history book, and they would cry until the dormitory building collapsed.
Netizens were laughing like crazy, and some even added a voiceover: "Who did I offend as a dormitory building to make me cry?!"
So this short video became popular on Star Network again, and was forwarded quite a lot.
The senior student was so annoyed by the two that she had no choice but to accept the bottle of spray. However, she added, "If the opponent doesn't use any external force during the game, then I won't use it. If the opponent also uses some means, then I will use it."
Wen Le and Xu Dongdong also knew that this was the senior's bottom line, so they had to reluctantly agree.
Actually, according to their idea, the senior student should put on the nose patch as soon as she got on the stage, then spray the air violently, instantly killing the opponent. This is the most time-saving and labor-saving method. As for whether this method is illegal? The wind is too strong to hear.
Furthermore, contestants are allowed to use weapons during the competition. As long as they can't cause harm, other means are permitted. This is to help students better adapt to life in the military. It's impossible to argue with the enemy on the battlefield. This is the original intention of the competition. Although ranking is currently the most important, this point will not change.
Because 90% of mecha department graduates enter the military, the school needs to lay a solid foundation for them. Furthermore, even within the military, there are factions, a subtle competition between schools. Whichever school's graduates have the highest overall strength and achieve the best grades represents the strength of their alma mater.
Therefore, some tricks are allowed during competitions, and as long as they're not too extreme, the referees will generally turn a blind eye and let it go. This is also why Wen Le and Xu Dongdong were not stopped when they made a fuss about the senior student cheating. This is the unspoken rule of the competition that everyone is used to.
The spray bottle was useless, as the opponent also came onto the stage unarmed, clearly intent on a proper duel. Since the opponent was so sincere, she naturally wouldn't resort to those tricks. And both of them were wearing mechas!
Yes, you read that right, it’s a mecha!
This is a benefit that only comes after the semi-finals. If both teams are students of the mecha department, the contestants will be required to wear mechas to fight. This is much more exciting than a real fight.
This makes the competition very interesting, whether it is the players' mecha operation level or their fighting skills, people will talk about it with relish. If it weren't for the fear of accidental injury and the players were not allowed to wear special mecha weapons, the competition would be even more exciting.
When both teams unveiled their mechas, the atmosphere reached a climax, sending even the livestream audience into a frenzy of excitement, not to mention the onlookers at the competition. Just from the waves of exclamations and shouts, one could sense the thrill of the action, the blood-pumping excitement.
Wen Le's eyes widened like a bumpkin. The two mechas before him, one black and one silver, were both three-meter-tall combat mechas. They were supposedly based on the average height of alien beasts, the ideal height for optimal operation. Anything under three meters wasn't powerful enough to be used as scouts, while anything over three meters was too bulky to be used as tanks, drawing fire from the front.
Wen Le looked at the two imposing mechas and felt his heart almost burst out of his chest. Those old car enthusiasts were nothing! Mecha enthusiasts were real men!
His boyish heart, which had been dormant for a long time, was aroused.
Lily's eyes were full of envy: "I really hope I have a mecha like this." She could afford it, but now she doesn't have the ability to drive a mecha, so she can only operate some virtual mechas in the virtual practice room for fun.
Upon hearing this, Xu Dongdong responded without hesitation: "Then I will make one for you later!" The thought of building a combat mecha with one's own hands makes people feel excited.
Even Li Zhenzhen, who always loved cute things, was deeply moved. Perhaps it was because her mood had changed. Her father had taken her to a mecha competition in the past, but she'd seen nothing but violence. But now, it was different. She felt only a sense of security and inexplicable emotion from the majestic mechas. She didn't know why, but she was just moved.
Maybe it’s because these mechas will be used to defend the country in the future. As the protected party, I feel an inexplicable emotion when I see these mechas now.
This may be a kind of resonance.
But then again, since everyone is using mechas to compete, then the spray prepared earlier is useless, right?
Wen Le and Xu Dongdong seemed to have thought of this question as well. They exchanged glances and silently covered their faces. So, why had they been so eagerly recommending the spray to their senior in front of all the StarCraft netizens?
Doesn't this expose all their attributes?
Xu Dongdong tutted, reached out and patted Wen Le on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Brother, don't be so foolish next time. Be more steady. Look, the people of the entire galaxy are watching us."
Wen Le: “…Hehe.”
You're talking as if you're the only one. Then who was cooperating with him just now? And this plan wasn't his idea either, so why is he being blamed for it?
Seeing the contempt in Wen Le's eyes, Xu Dongdong couldn't help but sigh and said in a serious tone, "Life is so difficult."
Wen Le: “…”
Don't think that I will forgive your behavior of putting the blame on others just because you said that.
…
The senior finally won the game with a mecha damage rate of 1%. Even she herself said that she won the game by luck because the opponent was really strong.
After the match, the opponent did not get angry because of the loss. Instead, he invited the senior sister to a private fight to practice their skills. The senior sister happily agreed.
She also told Wen Le and the others that if the other party didn't like pretty boys, she really wanted to pursue him.
Wen Le and Xu Dongdong quickly dissuaded her from this horrible idea. First, naturally curvy people can't be straightened. Second, this senior was so aggressive that he really wasn't suitable to be a partner. What if he became a domestic abuser? Hearing the two men's concerns, the senior almost laughed to tears. She reached out and stroked the two boys' hair, saying, "I now believe you're not in a premature relationship, haha."
Wen Le and Xu Dongdong: "..."
What does this have to do with puppy love?
As expected, you should never try to guess what a girl is thinking. You will never understand it no matter how much you try.
