Is this the sin of attracting too many romantic interests?
Those who play with fire will eventually perish. Matters of the heart are never controlled by reason. Lin Su, can you escape such a fate?
The mecha competition went smoothly, at least not in the first five days. However, when it came to the final screening, the battle between Ginger Brown Sugar and Walking in the Clouds ended with Ginger Brown Sugar winning.
Even though the competition is currently in a double-elimination system, there are still many doubts online.
Because the strength displayed by Manbu Yuncai in the first five days was obviously much higher than that of Sheng Jiang Huangtang, but this time he was defeated inexplicably. The sudden change even caught many people off guard.
"It's unfair. We think there must be some hidden rules in the game."
"If they really want to add any programs to StarNet, it won't be easy. The authorities must come out and give an explanation."
"Cheating, this is a serious cheating behavior!"
"That action is theoretically possible, and it's not necessarily a cheat."
"Slowing down the movement twenty times reveals that it actually hit the target. It's not cheating at all. Maybe he was hiding his strength before."
"The Mecha Competition is a grand event for the Pacific Empire. Wouldn't cheating be a slap in our own face?"
Despite the heated discussions, Empire's announcement was quickly posted, proving that Ginger Brown Sugar did not use any illegal means in the competition, putting the final nail in the coffin.
"How is that possible? Could it be that he was really hiding his strength before?"
"Your Majesty lost to the Marshal in the competition. Who do you think is more powerful?"
"Yeah, I don't know where this ginger and brown sugar came from. Even if they wanted to cheat, the audience has sharp eyes."
Various disputes continued, but on the sixth day, Ginger Brown Sugar defeated the mecha operators who were favored by everyone one after another and entered the finals with a perfect record.
Everyone then realized that Ginger Brown Sugar had never lost before, and his scores in every battle were not low, just a few tenths of a point lower. His operations were not that fancy, so people didn't pay too much attention to it.
Now that it was the last day, a dark horse suddenly emerged and directly took the first place, becoming the target of everyone's criticism.
"Didn't you say the first bird to stick its head out gets shot?" Jiang Tang was visibly stunned by his position, but he didn't show it much. He was mostly worried. "If I'm targeted..."
"Don't worry." Lin Su smiled.
Six full days were enough for him to see the strength and level of all the remaining people. Even if there were people among them who hid their strength like him, he would not be afraid.
The mecha competition on the last day was no longer a virtual competition on StarNet, but a physical competition held on the ocean near the imperial capital.
Mechas are equipped by the military, and there are no longer restrictions on the materials used, endurance, and artillery attack power of the mechas. This is also an assessment of physical fitness and mental strength, because no matter how powerful the mecha is, it cannot play its role without suitable physical and mental strength.
"Do you think the boss's name could be Ginger Brown Sugar?" Cheng Qi asked their Marshal with a big belly. "Look, Dr. Jiang's name is Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang Jiang Tang, Ginger Brown Sugar, isn't this a perfect match?"
Ye Jingfan naturally noticed it. Perhaps the skills displayed by Lin Su were not so outstanding at the beginning, but the more he watched, the more shocking it became.
A mermaid who has only been trained on the Star Network, but with such combat capabilities, even if he personally goes into battle, the outcome is unpredictable.
Such a person must have extremely rich combat experience, he is definitely not a novice.
"It's possible. Do you think there's something wrong with Lin Su?" Ye Jingfan asked Cheng Qi.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qi felt that everything the boss said was right. After all, he was a top student with a strong ability to learn. He felt like he knew everything. The only thing wrong was, "Oh, does touching a great white shark in the sea count as touching a rabbit?"
Ye Jingfan: "...what about you?"
Cheng Qi narrowed her eyes at him and said, "Do you want me and your three cubs to be buried in the belly of the fish?"
Touching a shark, what a joke! Unless he goes there in a mecha, he will be a coward.
"Of course not!" Ye Jingfan replied quickly.
However, the doubts in his heart seemed to be answered. If one could tame a group like sharks in the deep sea, then he must be experienced in battle. He still remembered that when Lin Su and the others returned from the sea, they seemed to be riding on whales.
The weak succumbed to the fierce, and his initial feeling when he saw Lin Su's mermaid was indeed correct.
Mechas fought on the sea, going back and forth with each other. The bombardment of artillery fire raised thousands of huge waves, and every time the waves fell, it could cause the earth to tremble.
The red mecha was like a flame burning above the deep sea, and the blue mecha seemed to become one with the deep sea and roar in resonance every time it moved.
Everyone's attention was captured by the blue mecha. They had never seen such a clean and agile movement, nor had they ever seen such powerful individual combat capabilities.
The waves were roaring, and the movements of the two mechas were almost invisible to the naked eye. At a certain moment of clashing swords, the two mechas fell rapidly from a high altitude, and one fell into the sea. The waves raised almost splashed into the eyes of the audience a thousand meters away.
"He Jian lost." Qin Yue said while sitting in the first seat.
Jiang Tang was beside him. Even though the waves seemed to be flying right before his eyes, he could sit there calmly and motionless: "This is inevitable."
No matter how strong the mermaid is, he believes that he will win in the end.
"You know, I envy you very much." Qin Yue smiled, "I envy you so much that I want to exchange all my wealth and status for you, but I'm afraid of blaspheming him."
Wealth can be regained if lost, and status has always been a responsibility, not a constraint for him. Without him, the empire can have new spokespersons and honors, but there is only one Lin Su.
"He is not an object, nor is he a bargaining chip that can be used for exchange." Jiang Tang looked at the blue mecha standing quietly above the sea.
It is so tall and beautiful that it seems to merge with the sea. The mecha is beautiful, but the person who can make it exert its power is its soul.
It has defeated many opponents, some of whom were agile, some were strong, and some had many tricks up their sleeves, but they all fell into its hands one by one.
The only one left is the last one who was once defeated by it - Walking in the Clouds.
"Come back from defeat to victory! Take first place!"
“Walking on the clouds, walking on the clouds, I love you!!!”
"Down with ginger brown sugar! Down with ginger brown sugar!"
…
"Ginger and brown sugar, you're the sweetest!"
"Ginger and brown sugar will win! Will win! Will win!!!"
"The championship spot belongs to you!"
He already has many fans of his own. Before, he was a hidden dragon in the abyss, limited by his identity as a mermaid, but now he has soared into the sky, and no one can stop him from showing the true power of a mermaid to the world.
