Wei San didn't know that the model mecha she casually released would be taken away for inspection and disassembly. As soon as the weekend came, she was busy going to the black factory competition to earn money and gain fighting experience.
She ran into Qi Anxi in the last game last week, which resulted in her not accumulating enough points. She went to start the competition early this Monday morning. After getting 3,000 points, she immediately challenged the cross-level challenge.
The L1 cross-level challenge arena is on the second underground floor. After Wei San selected the cross-level challenge on the optical computer, the black card could swipe the elevator to the second underground floor.
The structure of the second floor is similar to that of the first floor. The number of arenas is a little less, but the space of each arena has become larger. Wei San went to the waiting area according to the randomly assigned ring number. The opponent was also a newly upgraded L2. With the previous PK with Qi Anxi, she could easily defeat the opponent.
However, the opponent's mecha had been modified, and Wei San was obviously interested. He was not in a hurry to win, but slowly dismantled his mecha, dismantling this and that.
The black factory has held underground competitions for so many years, who has ever seen someone dismantling other people's mechas on the PK stage?
"Fuck, people who come to compete are getting more and more perverted."
"Just compete, why bully others like this?"
"I remember this thing called bowing to life. A few days ago, a friend from the first floor mentioned it to me. She liked to do this on the first floor."
"She is relying on her own superior strength and is doing this on purpose. She doesn't hurt anyone, but uses psychological warfare to suppress people's hearts. Who can accept this kind of bullying?"
"Bah, shameless!"
Wei San on the stage was having fun tearing apart the people and had no idea how they were being talked about. After she had almost finished tearing apart the people, she knocked the person unconscious on the stage.
[Congratulations on bowing to life and successfully challenged the next level, and was promoted to L2 level, star coins x100,000, points x10,000]
Wei San went downstairs to check her balance, and her eyes lit up. L2 wins a game and gets 100,000 star coins. This money is too easy to make!
She wants to be a mecha soldier for life! ! !
After successfully upgrading, Wei San did not rush to compete immediately, but went to find the food area. She wanted to eat something first. She didn't know what delicious food there was on the second underground floor.
"Hello, please show me your black card."
Two more waiters appeared in the food area, and they bowed and politely asked Wei San for his black card.
Wei San thought it was to verify his identity, so he stretched out his wrist and swiped it on their machine, which immediately displayed: [ID: Bow to Life, deduction of points: 200]
Seeing that his points were two hundred points less, Wei San naturally wanted to ask about it, but the waiter opposite smiled and said: "You need to deduct corresponding points before entering the buffet on the second floor of the basement."
"...Do you have to deduct points every time you come in?"
"You need to deduct points once to enter the restaurant, but you can enter and exit freely within 24 hours."
L2 wins 10,000 points for a game. Wei San looked at the remaining points on his card and felt that he could still afford it. At most, he could play a few more games.
However, the nature of the black factory boss and profiteer has been exposed.
People at level L2 can return to the underground level, but food and accommodation are no longer free, and can only be redeemed with points on the underground level 2.
Wei San swiped her points and went in, and found that it was significantly higher than the underground level 1, and the variety of food was twice as much. She took a large plate of food and found a seat to sit down.
There were many light screens suspended in the restaurant, showing the real-time competition in the arena area. Wei San filled her stomach while looking up at the live broadcasts on the light screens. She discovered one thing: the mechas in the underground level 2 competition were basically modified, with various weapons added, and the mechas' strength was greatly improved.
"Qianxi."
"It's really him!"
"He won 15 games this morning, using the original mecha from the black factory."
Hearing the discussion, Wei San turned her head to look at the source. The other party saw her and walked over with a plate.
"Excuse me, is there anyone sitting here?"
Wei San pulled the plate towards him and said, "No."
Qi'anxi sat down and ate quietly. He changed his mask, which was still silver, but like Wei San, it only covered the upper half of his face.
After a while, Qi'anxi spoke first: "Are you a student?"
"No." Wei San denied it immediately. It was obvious that the underground black competition was not a place for decent people. How could she reveal her identity? In order to change the topic, she looked at Qi Anxi across from her and asked, "Why don't you play a higher level match?"
Qi Anxi was stunned: "A higher level?"
Wei San saw that he didn't understand, so he said, "You can challenge higher level players as long as you accumulate corresponding points from L0 to L3. You don't have to win 100 games. Didn't your middleman tell you when he registered with you?"
Qi Anxi was silent for a long time: "...Maybe I forgot at that time."
In fact, Qi Anxi looked like a big boss who knew a lot about this place, which made the middleman dare not say more.
"For L2 to challenge L3, you only need to win 49 games, provided that you don't use up a lot of points."
Qi Anxi has won 15 games. At this pace, he will be able to challenge higher level players tomorrow.
After saying this, the two people at the table fell into silence, with only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.
After Wei San finished eating, he opened the competition interface, entered the random PK, got the ring number, and stood up: "I'm going to the competition, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Qi Anxi also replied politely.
...
The mecha after the transformation is quite different from the original mecha. The mechas from different mecha masters have different powers even if the weapons are similar. Wei San used the original mecha to compete, and it became more and more difficult as time went on, but her ambition to dismantle the mecha never died.
The opponent was a heavy mecha, more than twice the size of David San's mecha. She dodged the attack and finally swung the whip to wrap around the opponent's arm. Taking the opportunity to quickly approach, she stretched out her hand to remove the opponent's abdominal defense armor at a weird angle, and then retreated at a very fast speed.
The opponent looked down at his abdomen, obviously not expecting that the armor could be removed so easily.
While he was stunned, Wei San had already circled to the back, and this time the whip was directly wrapped around the opponent's neck. However, the opponent reacted at this time, holding the whip with both hands, using the force to flip, and kicked Wei San's head with both legs, which was so flexible that he didn't look like a heavy mecha at all.
Wei San was first startled by his overly flexible attack, and then swung it hard, and the whip joint broke again. She held half of the whip and controlled the upper body of the mecha to lean back 90 degrees to avoid the opponent's kick. At the same time, she supported the ground with one hand, flipped over, and got close to the opponent, and swung half of the whip on his abdomen.
The two of them were fighting or retreating. Wei San took the opportunity to hold the armor he had just removed in his hand, using it as a knife to fight in close combat. In the end, the armor pierced the opponent's engine, causing damage to his mecha and losing the game.
After the game, when the mecha was taken back, the opponent didn't even look at his armor and walked off the stage.
"Hey, your stuff." Wei San shouted on the stage holding the armor he had removed.
The opponent's pace of leaving quickened, and it was obvious that he didn't want the armor that hurt him.
The opponent didn't want it, so Wei San had to accept it "reluctantly".
At L2 level, it was obvious that the opponent was getting stronger. Wei San's broken primitive mecha was not very useful. This PK competition gave her an inspiration. She was no longer obsessed with dismantling mechas, but dismantled them for her own use.
As soon as the opponent came on stage, she would first pick them out and take the opportunity to take them down, and then use them to defeat the opponent.
Some opponents with strong self-esteem did not want to be dismantled to attack their parts when they took back the mecha. Wei San benefited from it and collected all the scattered materials and garbage. Late that night, he went to the underground level and found the previous owner. He rented the venue and tools. He did not sleep all night and was very interested in transforming all these broken and shabby things into his own mecha.
It was free and could improve the attack power of the mecha.
Perfect!
At four o'clock in the morning, the shop owner came to open the door and looked at her mecha for a long time: "You... collect broken ones?"
Wei San said seriously: "Boss, don't look down on broken ones, these are free, they are good things."
The shop owner: "..."
Wei San put away the mecha and prepared to rest for two hours before going to the competition. She must accumulate enough points to challenge the cross-level. She has been coveting the L3 competition prize for a long time.
Before leaving, the shop owner asked a question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time: "How did you dismantle their mechas on the stage?"
Wei San whispered in the shop owner's ear: "I brought tools."
No matter how the mecha is modified, it is within a reasonable range, as long as you know the mecha master and can afford enough money. In short, krypton gold makes sense.
Wei San didn't have money to buy weapons, so he made a little change in the palm of his mecha and put a few homemade disassembly tools. As long as he was quick, he could take it off when the opponent wasn't paying attention.
Back to the second underground floor, Wei San deducted 200 points, chose the cheapest accommodation, and rested for two hours.
It must be said that the boss of the black factory was very cunning. The first floor was free, with a large space and a soft bed. When he went to the second underground floor, not only did he deduct points, but the cheapest room only had a hard bed and a small bathroom.
After resting for two hours, Wei San was full of energy and continued to compete in the ring area. When she came out, everyone on and off the ring was stunned.
It was because these people had never seen such a "colorful" ugly mecha.
It was normal to paint a mecha, but they had never seen a mecha covered with all kinds of colors.
When the competition started, the people in the arena looked shocked.
This person called "Bow to Life" did not use a lightsaber, but a sharpened mecha piece as a knife. The lightsaber was made of special materials and could be put away in the palm of the hand when not in use. When in use, it only needed the gray crystal in the mecha to provide energy. The "knife" she used could not be put back at all. It was embedded vertically behind the arm of the mecha, looking strange and clumsy.
This mecha was ugly and colorful, strange and strange. With her every move, it impacted the weak hearts on and off the stage.
Since Wei San could do such a thing, she naturally didn't care about other people's opinions. What's the point of a good-looking mecha? The best thing is to be able to fight.
The mecha blade is definitely not as strong as the light sword, but fortunately, the defensive ability is OK. Relying on the results of her hard work all night, she became more and more arrogant on the stage and dismantled the mecha without mercy.
"I remember!"
Someone suddenly shouted from the stage.
"The... 'knife' on Xiang Shenghuo's left arm is the piece of armor she removed from someone else's mecha yesterday."
"The piece on her knee looks familiar to me too."
"This person removed someone else's mecha and fused it to her own body?"
"She definitely considers these things an honor, just like a criminal collecting the victim's things."
"What a pervert!"
...
As Wei San continued to go on stage to PK, within a day, word of mouth spread throughout the second underground floor, and the ID Xiang Shenghuo Nitou had become notorious, more famous than Qi Anxi who had won another fifty games in a row.
Wei San didn't know all this. She wasn't a particularly fast fighter. Sometimes she would be particularly slow when encountering a tough opponent, trying her best to avoid fatal attacks, and learning the opponent's attack methods bit by bit to improve herself. She won many games by narrow margins.
But in the eyes of others, Bowing to Life was intentional, she was teasing her opponent. Now the people on the second underground floor think that her ID is full of sarcasm, asking them to bow to life.
Wei San was completely unaware of this. Before leaving in the evening, she went to the restaurant to eat and ran into Qi Anxi again.
Apparently Bowing to Life was "in the spotlight" today, and even Qi Anxi heard the news.
"Your mecha is quite...unique." Qi Anxi seemed to want to find a word of praise to bring the two closer, but in the end she only found this word.
Wei San accepted the compliment: "Thank you."
Qi Anxi looked at the person opposite through the mask. Judging from her voice and posture, she was obviously very young, probably about the same age as herself. Logically, she should be from the military academy, but she said she was not.
The only military academy on Shadu Star that has S-class mecha soldiers is Damocles Military Academy. Qi Anxi has seen all the S-class mecha soldiers in the school, and none of them are qualified to bow to life, so he believes what the other party said.
Maybe he is from some mysterious family.
"I should go to the third underground floor next week." Qi Anxi asked her, "Do you know where in the black factory I can modify the mecha?"
"There is a trading market, I should be able to go there." Wei San has never been to the trading market on the second underground floor.
Qi Anxi nodded, and then asked: "Do you want to modify your mecha again?"
The third underground floor is already L3 level, and the people inside are all veterans, and their weapons have been modified many times, so it is not easy to deal with them, so Qi Anxi did not directly challenge the higher-level today, but wanted to modify the original mecha and start again next week.
"There is no such plan for the time being." Wei San asked casually, "How much is your budget?"
Qi Anxi was stunned. The word "budget" had basically never appeared in his life. He hesitated and gave a number: "Fifty million star coins?"
"Ahem, ahem!"
Hearing this number, Wei San choked on her meal. She looked up in disbelief: "How much?"
"Fifty million." Qi Anxi saw that she was quite excited, and said, "Less? I can..."
Wei San stopped eating and took Qi Anxi's hand affectionately: "What kind of mecha do you want to transform into?"
Qi Anxi was a little confused by her sudden enthusiasm, but still said: "I use a light mecha, and I want to add a pair of cloud-breaking wings and a black crossbow."
Wei San said sincerely: "Since we have PK, this is fate. In fact, I know a mecha master. She has very good skills. She doesn't need 50 million star coins, but only 25 million star coins to help you transform it!"
"The mecha master you know..." Qi Anxi inexplicably remembered the colorful mecha he saw on the screen today, "The mecha master who helped you transform the mecha yesterday?"
Wei San knew he was prejudiced when she heard his tone, and she said enthusiastically: "Of course not, I just asked someone to do it yesterday, the mecha master I know is very powerful!"
Qi Anxi didn't care about this little money. He originally wanted to make friends with Xiang Shenghuo, so he agreed: "It can be transformed next Saturday."
"Of course it can be transformed." Wei San said without hesitation.
Qi Anxi lowered his head and swiped a few times on the optical computer, and Wei San opposite him immediately received a huge sum of 50 million star coins.
Wei San looked at the huge sum of money, his voice a little unsteady: "Twenty-five million will be enough."
"Just use the materials better. If you don't have enough money, you can contact me." Qi Anxi stood up and handed the mecha necklace to Wei San, "I still need your help."
Wei San stared at Qi Anxi leaving in amazement, feeling that his back was full of the smell of money.
Is this what is called a rich man?
After Wei San sat in her seat and sobered up, she remembered one thing: Damocles Military Academy has curfew from Monday to Friday, and she can't go out.
"..."
People die for money, birds die for food, Wei San decided to take a risk and climb over the wall to leave the school at night.
Before leaving the black factory, Wei San went to the underground floor again, found the owner, rented the venue and tools for five nights, and added the owner's contact information.
"Boss, I will send you the materials I need tomorrow, you help me get them."
The owner raised his eyelids: "Okay."
The finished products of Broken Cloud Wings and Black Crossbow must be expensive. Wei San just wanted to practice and make a profit, so she naturally got the materials herself. These two things are basically the most commonly used weapons for light mechas, but she only knows how to make them in detail, and she has to go back to the military academy to look up the information.
...
Although the library does not have information related to S-level, it has all the information on A-level mechas, and it is fully open to students. Wei San ran there after class, listed a lot of materials, and gave the list to the owner, asking him to help.
In the evening.
Wei San came out of the dormitory building, then hid in the darkness, and waited for the passing students to pass by before coming out. She walked quickly all the way to avoid the cameras in the military academy.
The first week after she came to the military academy, she memorized the school route and nearby cameras, commonly known as scouting.
Wei San didn't have any other intentions, mainly because she had been tricked by Li Pi on Star 3212 before, so she paid special attention to the external environment.
In addition to the school cameras, there are guards patrolling at any time at night, and Wei San is avoiding them.
Heading north, the defense in the north of Damocles Military Academy was slightly looser. Wei San was about to jump into the bushes nearby, and a member of the guard suddenly appeared and bumped into her.
Wei San: "...Excuse me, are you Brother Ye Bei? I am your online lover, Xiao Mian Yang."
The senior from the guard team who had fallen behind due to some matters twitched his lips. What era is it, and there are still people who have online love? He looked at Wei San with a look that was hard to describe: "You recognized the wrong person. You should study hard in the military academy and strive to go to the military region in the future. Don't play these nonsense all day long."
"Senior, sorry to bother you, I will go back now." Wei San turned around and left with an embarrassed look as if he was exposed.
When he heard the other person's footsteps walking away, Wei San immediately touched back.
With the help of the cover of night, she avoided the camera. The cat was in the shadow under the wall, and her vigilance was raised to the extreme. After confirming that there was no one around, she jumped up and climbed over the wall to leave.
It was quite simple.
Wei San stood outside the wall and sighed, then turned and rushed towards the black factory. She only had five nights to transform the mecha.
...
"Is the school wall so easy to climb now?"
A person leaned against the window in a building on the north side of Damocles Military Academy and asked.
Then someone in the shadows said: "I'll let the guards catch the person back."
The person in front of the window suddenly laughed and said meaningfully, "No hurry."
